Chapter 134: Wood Tooth Tribe, Persuasion
These orcs, with their well-limbed limbs and simple minds, were even more furious when they saw such a small person as Anina rushing towards them.
Is it to look down on them by sending such a little human girl out to fight!?
This is an insult to the great Wood Tooth Tribe!
But the next scene turned out to be the exact opposite of what they had imagined.
Small-looking, white fists knocked them upside down with a single punch.
The glade suddenly resounded with the sound of fists hitting the flesh, and the wails of orcs one after another.
Just a few minutes later.
The battle is over.
The orcs who rushed up fell to the ground, hanging from the treetops, stuck in the camp walls, groaning in pain.
The orcs who were watching the play from the side opened their eyes one by one, their eyes were full of disbelief, and some thought they had seen a hallucination, so they rubbed their eyes and looked again.
The little one crossed his waist and stepped on the body of a companion with his right foot, his face was full of lightness, and he didn't even take a breath, as if he had just done something insignificant.
Grunt~ The half-orcs swallowed their saliva in unison, and their hands and feet were a little crispy.
One man fights thirty half-orcs!?
And unscathed?
Is this still human?
"Do you still want to fight? Then you can go up together. β
Anina crossed her waist and gave them a look of contempt for a king, and said lightly.
When the orcs saw this, the anger in their hearts came up again, and their eyes were red.
"Don't be afraid! As long as we go together, we will definitely be able to defeat her! β
"That's right! Ullaβ"
"Idiot! Stop me! β
A sharp sound came from the camp, and miraculously, this sound made the half-orcs with maximum anger stop at once.
With a respectful look on his face, he made a way out of the middle.
Ji Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at it with a little curiosity.
I saw a half-orc female walk out.
To his surprise, this orc female was not like ordinary orc females, with a thick waist and a rough face.
On the contrary, the body is thin and white, and the face is quite exquisite.
Except for a pair of white ears on her head, her appearance is infinitely close to that of a human, and her appearance is similar to what people often call a beast-eared girl.
Such a petite and beautiful existence is in stark contrast to the green-skinned, savage and rugged half-orcs behind him.
It's just two styles of painting.
Ji Chen suddenly remembered some indescribable pictures.
Looking at the cat-eared lady in front of him, he was very interested.
In a group of five big and three thick half-orcs, how can there be a cat-eared girl?
And it looks like it's still their leader?
γIrona (Hero)γ
[Race]: Half-orc
[Level]: 20
[Current Rank]: Purple (Rare)
[Potential]: Purple (Rare)
...
Yo, it's still a purple rare level hero!?
Ilona looked at the human male in front of her, looking her up and down, feeling a little uncomfortable.
But the beast was under the eaves and had to bow its head.
The hero's sense of smell made her keenly feel that that little girl could knock down all the orcs alone.
And the fish man behind the human male and the beautiful girl with fins in the ears are also extremely dangerous.
Cautiously, Ilona said slowly.
"Your Excellency, is there anything you have done here? We don't seem to have anything to do with before this, do we? β
"Not before." Ji Chen smiled, "But now there is." β
"As soon as these orcs saw us, they attacked without saying a word, and caused damage to my men, so it's not too much to compensate, right?"
Irona's eyes widened a little, and she looked at the orc warriors lying on the ground moaning around her, hanging from the treetops and the camp walls, and then at Anina, who was unharmed and even smiling.
It looks like he's seen a ghost.
How dare this human man open his eyes and tell nonsense to such an extent?
Although she was angry, Ilona knew that now was not the time to refute.
In the jungle, strength is respected.
Whoever has the bigger fist can speak louder.
The stronger ones have the absolute right to speak.
And dozens of half-orc warriors with big shoulders and thick waists were beaten like this by a little girl, and it was quite embarrassing to say it.
Irona took a deep breath, "... We are willing to compensate, but we are very sorry, but we have nothing to pay for the Wood Tooth Tribe now. β
Ji Chen looked at the other orcs, and although their faces were fierce, their faces were hungry that was difficult to hide.
It looked like I hadn't eaten in days.
His animal skin clothes were also in tatters, and his weapons were badly damaged.
Combined with what the two booing orc warriors said just now, Irona shouldn't have lied to him.
However, his purpose was not to make such a small compensation.
"No, no, no, there's one thing you're very rich."
"Very rich?" Irona suddenly became puzzled, looking at the orc warriors who were even armed with homemade maces, and couldn't think of anything about them that could catch the attention of this human man.
Until Ji Chen pointed at her and the other orcs.
Ilona was stunned for a moment, and then a little anger suddenly surged on her face, "Your Excellency, could it be that you are really a slave catcher?" β
"If that's the case, then there's no room for negotiation between us."
"Even if we die in battle to the last beast, we will never send our companions into slavery!"
As soon as the words fell, all the orcs became angry, and their eyes were extremely blood-red.
The reaction was even more exciting than it had just been.
"Slave catchers?" Ji Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously said, "We're not." β
"Isn't it?" Ilona looked at Ji Chen's face that didn't seem to be fake, and still said suspiciously: "Then why did you happen to appear outside our camp, Your Excellency?" β
"We've just returned from the center of the island and it's here that we bumped into your camp."
"Island Center!?" Irona looked surprised and subconsciously said, "This is impossible. β
According to the legend of Kongo Island that has been passed down from generation to generation, the center of the island is a land where the gods once existed, guarded by countless gods, and any creature that intrudes will be torn apart by them.
All the shamans on the island will warn their tribesmen not to approach, which will bring misfortune to the tribe.
Therefore, there is no tribe and orc who are not long-eyed, and they will go against the ancestral teachings to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
But this human man says they just came back from there?
And he doesn't look hurt...
For a moment, Irona was a little unsure.
It wasn't until she saw the human man, with a wave of his big hand and a tall aura guard, that she believed it.
The appearance of this guard is the same as the image of the god guard handed down from the tribe!
Inexplicably, Irona looked at the human man's eyes and became in awe.
Place the palm of your left hand on the abyss in front of your chest and bow your head.
"I misunderstood Your Excellency, Ilona, the acting leader of the Mufang Tribe, and I would like to express my sincerest apologies to Your Excellency."
Not only Irona, but also the other orcs looked a little embarrassed.
To be able to return safely from that legendary land, and to be guarded by a god, must not be a despicable slave catcher.
Ji Chen waved his hand absentmindedly, and casually put away the ruin guard, "My name is Ji Chen, the lord of the crown of the sea, the master of the Crescent Islands, there is no need to be sorry for this. β
"Let's get down to business... If you're right, you're going to be dying here, right? β
Hearing this, Irona's face showed a little bitterness, and she didn't hide anything anymore, "Your Excellency Ji Chen, we really can't stay on King Kong Island. β
"Can you tell us about you? Like what... The slave catchers you just talked about. β
Ilona sighed, "If Your Excellency Ji Chen doesn't mind, how about being a guest in the camp, I will tell you what interests you." β
Ji Chen nodded, and asked Ben Bo Erba to take the army to garrison outside the camp, leading Alice and Anina to follow Illona into the camp.
Unexpectedly, although it looks very simple on the outside, it is quite orderly on the inside, and there are no common hygiene problems of orcs and half-orcs, and even a little clean.
As if seeing the surprise in Ji Chen's eyes, Ilona smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency is a little surprised that a half-orc camp is so clean, right?" β
"In fact, before I became the acting leader, the settlements and camps of the Muya tribe were extremely dirty, excreted, and filthy."
"But since those glorious lords came to King Kong Island, the Wood Tooth tribe has begun to come into contact with them, and we have learned a lot of things about human society, such as prohibiting open excretion and polluting water sources..."
"We will also exchange resources with some friendly Lords of Glory, such as exchanging ores for weapons and food, and entrusting them with purchasing scarce supplies on the island from the outside world."
"Of course, the arrival of the Glory Lord has also squeezed the living space of the various tribes on the island, so there are often frictions and fights between the two sides..."
Ji Chen nodded slowly, this was the first time he had seen the impact of the player's arrival from the perspective of the aborigines.
There is a good side and a bad side.
As they spoke, they entered the largest tent.
Illona asked Ji Chen to sit in the first place, and Ji Chen did not refuse or hesitate.
Strength is respected.
Ilona sat on the left and Alice and Anina on the right.
"Since there is a friendly existence, there is also malice, and some evil honorary lords have formed a slave hunting team to capture lone orcs on the island, and ship them to the outside world to sell, so as to earn money.
Your Excellency, you probably know that the half-orcs with strong bodies and strong weapons are very favored by mine owners and slave owners... The Wood Tooth Tribe also had a small number of orcs taken away, so we just reacted so much. β
Ji Chen nodded knowingly
He had indeed heard on chat channels and forums that there was a market for simple-minded, but well-limbed races like orcs and half-orcs.
Because mines, plantations, gladiatorial arenas, and other places were in high demand, they often fetched high prices in the slave market.
Players who have been praised as the fourth natural disaster will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.
"It turns out that the slave catchers are like this... But the main reason why you've fallen here isn't the Lord of Glory, right? β
Ilona sighed and spoke eloquently.
In fact, it has something to do with the players.
Players came to King Kong Island, and with their numerical advantage and endless tricks, they greatly reduced the living space of the orc tribe on the original island.
While the orc tribe resists the player's invasion, it also fights for space inside.
As a result, fierce battles broke out between the orc tribes.
Where there are fights, there are naturally winners and losers.
And the Wood Tooth Tribe is the latter.
After the former tribal leader was killed, Ilona took the remnants of the Wood Tooth tribe and set out on a fleeing journey.
But with King Kong Island so big, where can it escape to?
In the end, they are forced to go deeper, closer to the center of the island, which is feared by all the orc tribes...
After saying this, Ji Chen had a general understanding of Irona's current situation.
The previous idea is also more confident.
Ilona saw the slight discoloration in Ji Chen's eyes, and her heart was slightly happy.
Stood up and walked to the front and saluted solemnly.
"Therefore, Your Excellency, I beg you to lend a helping hand to us, and the Wood Tooth Tribe will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future."
Ji Chen looked at Ilona who was sincerely pleading in front of him.
From his point of view, under the thin animal skin clothes, between the raging mountains on both sides, an abyss with no end in sight is outlined.
This girl is quite big...
After thinking for a moment, Ji Chen stood up and helped Illona up.
"Your Excellency Ji Chen, you are..."
"I have a better way to solve your plight once and for all."
Ilona couldn't help but be stunned, is there such a good way?
Looking at this puzzled cat-eared girl, Ji Chen smiled slightly and said slowly.
"As long as you are loyal to me, then I can bring you to King Kong Island and live in my territory."
"That way, the fighting here will no longer be your concern, and you won't have to worry about food and shelter."
Irona opened her mouth wide, this method... It seems like it can really be solved once and for all...
But soon, Irona reacted.
How could the Wood Tooth tribe submit to the feet of others, and the other party was still a human being.
Orcs will never be slaves!
Ilona just wanted to refuse, but Ji Chen stretched out his finger to block her mouth, and the warm touch made her heart skip a beat.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to my reasoning."
"It seems that if you don't have food anymore, I'm afraid you won't be able to last for a week, think about your tribe's cubs, you can still last a week, but they can't last a day, this is one."
"Weapons are lacking and badly damaged, let alone counterattacking to regain habitat, and soon you won't even be able to defeat the wild monsters in the woods, and you're dying a slow death, that's two."
"I don't have a fixed place to live, I sleep in the open air, and I am chased and killed by the enemy, not to mention multiplication, it is a great luck to be able to not reduce the number of people, this is three."
"The three predicaments are like three mountains pressing on you, and it won't be long before the Muya tribe will disappear into the vast forest."
These words smashed into Ilona's heart like a heavy hammer
Every time she said it, it made her heart sink a little.
Ji Chen's words undoubtedly hit the weak point in her heart accurately.
The previously firm thoughts couldn't help but waver at this time.
On it together
