Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 175

Chi and Chief Jing fought on the mountaintop, and the whole tribe knew about it.

It wasn't that Chief Jing had any dissatisfaction with Chi, or that Chief Jing had any opinions about Chi.

It was just a normal test, but Chi forced Chief Jing to give it her all, and as a result, she earned the right to participate in the hunt.

Chi proved his strength and thus earned the right to participate in the hunt; things in the tribe were always that simple.

The Great Beast Season is coming to an end. Although there is no specific timeframe, as the temperature gradually cools down, the tribespeople are gradually putting on thicker clothes.

A sense of impending end had already begun to creep into the minds of the tribespeople.

Along with this premonition came the dwindling number of fruits and prey around the Taz Forest.

Hunting teams also need to travel far from the tribe to hunt enough prey to return.

Before the official arrival of the snow season, there are probably two more hunting seasons: one relatively loose, small-scale hunting season, and another large-scale, unified hunting season.

After all, with the arrival of the snow season, not only are the tribespeople unable to move around and go out, but the vast majority of wild animals are also in the same boat.

The Taz Forest is so fair; it doesn't discriminate against any particular life form, whether human or beast, everyone is equal.

Therefore, the tribe must take advantage of the last activity of the wild beasts in the Taz Forest before the snow season to hunt enough prey to survive the snow season.

In fact, the tribe's "prey reserves" are enough to feed the tribe members for many years without running out.

The premise is... that no one needs to transform into a beast.

Even a few dozen tribesmen in their beast form would be enough to empty half of the stock.

To be frank, the accident that caused Jiang Luoluo's parents' deaths made things much easier for the tribe... except for Jiang Luoluo, no one else survived.

Living people often consume more resources than dead people.

Because of death, the tribe does not need to provide a large amount of food to help with recovery and make up for the loss.

Otherwise, the tribe might not be able to wait until the Great Beast Season and would face food shortages.

And when you're dead, you're dead.

No food is needed, and nothing at all.

But around this dangerous Taz Forest, who in the tribe can guarantee that they won't encounter danger or need to transform into beasts? Without enough food, how will the tribe withstand the dangers and continue to exist?

So, before the unexpected food shortage occurred, the tribe actually had enough food.

For tribes, food shortages are not a gradual process; they are usually caused by "accidents," "unexpected events," or "sudden lapses in preparation," plunging them into a food crisis.

For example, a group of wild beasts suddenly appeared from who-knows-where and launched an attack on the tribe for no reason. Then, in order to eliminate this group of wild beasts, several beast-transformed orc warriors went down... and the tribe's food ran out.

For example, a hunting party went out and, by bad luck, encountered a powerful beast. Not only did they gain nothing, but the beast even transformed into its form multiple times, which allowed most of the tribe members to return to the tribe.

The number of prey is increasing, not decreasing but increasing.

The tribe might be able to cope once or twice, but if there are not enough prey to replenish their supplies for several consecutive times, the tribe will immediately fall into a food crisis.

What else? Keep the food and don't save the tribesmen from the hunting party.

Regardless of whether doing so would discourage the members of the tribe's hunting teams and make them unwilling to contribute to the tribe in the future.

The hunting teams are made up of the tribe’s most elite members, and the tribe relies on them for most of its operations. If this continues, how will the tribe survive?

Are they a group of retired elderly people covered in wounds, or the group of children from the fish cave?

Of course, there are also many tribesmen who, due to accidental injuries, are unwilling to return to the tribe and choose to remain in the Taz Forest on their own.

Despite the repeated persuasion and efforts of the leaders and shamans over the years to prove that even if they were injured, the tribe could still support them and help them survive.

But when they were truly injured, countless members of their tribe chose to "stay," sacrificing their lives for the final prey.

Brown was the result of Chief Jing's efforts. He wanted the people in the tribe to see that even if they were injured or disabled, the tribe could still take good care of them... but unfortunately, it didn't have much effect.

Most people in the tribe are simple-minded and easily guided by clever people's words. However, when they have really made up their minds about something, they are much harder to persuade.
