Chapter 100 South
Jiang Luoluo also saw the siblings Pear and You. Pear was holding a bunch of small pink wild fruits in her hands. They were probably picked by Pear when she went to the Taz Forest with Chi to help the transport team move the game.
He's taking it out now to amuse his younger sister.
I have no idea how he managed to make his sister angry.
Originally, You's emotions had been calmed down, but what Li didn't expect was that when You saw Jiang Luoluo passing by, she ran up to her and handed over all the pink wild fruits that her brother had given her to Jiang Luoluo as if offering them up.
The reason, of course, is that Jiang Luoluo reached the top of the rock earlier that morning.
You has always regarded Jiang Luoluo as a member of her small team, even though Jiang Luoluo actually only participated in one team activity.
Seeing Jiang Luoluo reach the top, You naturally felt honored and proud. Now that she had something good in her hands, she would definitely let "Boss" have a taste first.
So You generously offered the items to Jiang Luoluo, whom she considered her boss.
The little emotions that had been bought off by the fruit returned to normal after the fruit left.
Jiang Luoluo accepted the handful of pink wild berries despite Li Youyou's resentful gaze.
These small wild berries are about the size of black nightshade berries, but they don't grow in clusters like bunches of grapes; instead, they grow directly on the branches of plants.
On a branch about the length of an arm, there are only a few dozen small wild fruits scattered about, and this plant doesn't grow very tall.
It can only grow to a little over a meter tall at most; these few dozen fruits are the limit for this plant.
Therefore, Jiang Luoluo had never seen this kind of fruit among those used for brewing wine or making jam.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Luoluo accepted You's advances—mainly because it would be more troublesome to refuse, as You was a bit stubborn.
These small pink wild berries tasted delicious and helped relieve the greasiness of Jiang Luoluo's meal of so much roasted meat.
Then Jiang Luoluo saw Chi... who was throwing a tantrum at the leader...
You could hear from a great distance that Chika was shouting, "I want to participate in the next hunt too!"
Then Chief Jing glanced at Chi, who had confused him with the prey beside him, and ruthlessly rejected Chi's request.
Jiang Luoluo watched Chi talking to the huge chunk of meat and thought to herself, "You really deserved to be rejected."
But it's no wonder that Chi couldn't tell the difference. Although she remembered the scents of the tribesmen clearly, Chief Jing was busy cutting up prey and his body was covered in various scents, making it impossible for her to distinguish them.
Chi could only rely on his advanced but blurry eyes to judge which was the leader and which was the prey by their general shapes—that one was so tall, it must be the leader!
The chieftain, Jing, who had his identity stolen simply for bending down to pick up a broken stone knife, thought: "...You'd better just stay in the tribe."
Jiang Luoluo chuckled at the sight, then suddenly paused. Just as she was about to think of something, a figure suddenly darted out from beside her, interrupting her thoughts and the fleeting idea.
The little boy who Jiang Luoluo pushed down that morning—the leader's son—appeared right before her eyes.
"Hey, my name is Nan, what's your name?" The six or seven-year-old boy stood with his hands on his hips and spoke to Jiang Luoluo with a face full of dissatisfaction.
Having spent the entire day reviewing the situation, Nan felt that he had no chance and should not lose to Jiang Luoluo. So when he saw Jiang Luoluo pass by him, Nan jumped out and blocked her way.
Asking names before sparring is something Nan learned from the tribespeople he had met. Whenever they encountered a formidable opponent, they would first state their names—actually, they were saying it to Jing, who was their leader.
Not every member of the tribe can gain the attention of Chief Jing, so some young members who want to show their strength in front of the chief will invite some opponents to fight and demonstrate their strength to the chief.
In order to make the leaders remember who they were, they would say their names to each other before the competition. This gave the young Nan a hint - before meeting an opponent, first introduce yourself.
Jiang Luoluo remained silent.
"Why aren't you speaking? Why aren't you answering me?" Nan frowned, her expression displeased. She felt slighted, and her appearance was strikingly similar to that of the leader, Jing.
Jiang Luoluo remained silent.
The main problem is that she can't speak unless she stays silent.
She raised her hand to gesture, afraid that the child would think she was going to hit him and start fighting with her again.
One reason was that Jiang Luoluo didn't want to bully children, and the other was... she really didn't dare to hit the leader's child.
It sounds like a terrible accident.
"You..." Nan was a little angry. Looking at Jiang Luoluo's attitude, he felt like he was being looked down upon.
But Nan didn't expect that just as he was about to speak, the little girl who had "accidentally" defeated him took two steps toward him and walked right up to him.
Nan looked at Jiang Luoluo warily, but she wasn't afraid or backed away. She just stared straight at her and then asked, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Luoluo pulled Nan's hand away and placed the remaining half of the pink fruit in her hand into his palm.
He revealed a kind and gentle smile.
Sweetie, eat some fruit.
Then, while Nan was reacting, he quickly pointed to his neck with his free finger and shook his hands twice to indicate that he couldn't speak.
Then he just looked at Nan with a smile.
Nan was first puzzled, then shocked, and then her cheeks suddenly turned red. "You, you... I, I..."
After talking for a long time without uttering a complete sentence, Nan pursed her lips, held a handful of small fruits, and suddenly turned and ran away.
Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. The moral compass of the people in the tribe was still too high. She had only slightly weakened herself by mentioning that she couldn't speak, but Nan, that child, acted as if she had committed some heinous crime and ran away.
Jiang Luoluo even began to wonder if she had gone too far.
But cough cough... well, she's the one who's outwardly the weaker one.
As the leader's son, Nan definitely needs to get used to these things as soon as possible in order to understand the thoughts of his subordinates and manage them well.
Jiang Luoluo thought irresponsibly.
During this time, Jiang Luoluo spent more time alone with the little girl happy and the little boy Zhuang. Under Jiang Luoluo's deliberate guidance, she gained a deep understanding of the tribe's situation from happy and Zhuang.
In any era or at any time, the succession of a powerful leader is always a crucial and important matter.
Because the current chief, Jing, is in his prime and can lead the tribe for at least another ten years, there isn't much discussion within the tribe about who will be the next successor.
But there is still discussion.
The candidates were mainly focused on three people, and coincidentally, Jiang Luoluo knew all three of them.
The first candidate was Ge. As the second talented member of the clan to appear in the more than 20 years since Chief Jing, many clansmen hoped that he could grow into a strong person like Chief Jing.
Naturally, Go became one of the candidates for the next leader.
The second is Nan. The reason is self-evident. Although he is still young, he has already inherited his father's tall physique. When he grows up, he is very likely to become the second leader, Jing.
As for the third candidate... it's Little Fish King Biao.
Throughout tribal history, there have been leaders who came from Yuerdong, and in fact, quite a few of them.
Although the children in the Fish Cave are naturally weaker than ordinary tribal children, those who grow up in that environment will be even stronger when they become orc warriors.
In particular, Little Fish King Biao is the youngest person in history to have won the title of "Little Fish King" in Fish Cave.
Therefore, although few people mention it, many are quietly paying attention to the growth of Little Fish King Biao.
