Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 258 Becoming the Boss of a Small Group

Seeing that Jiang Luoluo ignored her and instead turned to look at Meng, Bei started to get a little angry.

After all, he was the leader of this small group. In Bei's opinion, Jiang Luoluo, a newcomer who was brought in by Meng, who was at the bottom of the group, didn't come to acknowledge him as the leader and wait for him to accept her. Instead, she dared to ignore him. She was really too ungrateful!

"Luo, come and talk to me!" Bei glared angrily.

Regarding Jiang Luoluo, a child like Bei, who is already capable of understanding certain things, would inevitably hear some news from her parents.

However, they were still young and couldn't understand the value of the things Jiang Luoluo made, nor had they had any close contact with her, and there was no age gap between them.

It's hard for him to have any special reaction to Jiang Luoluo.

To appreciate someone's talent, you must first understand what they have created, and secondly, understand the difficulty of creating that creation.

Unfortunately, children of this age are not yet capable of thinking this far ahead, nor would they even consider this direction.

Jiang Luoluo looked back and frowned. Although she could understand the composition of the cub groups in the tribe, it was difficult for her to flatter the leader of Bei's group like the other children.

There are still some things we can't do.

Most importantly, it's not like she can't beat them.

Although it felt a bit like taking advantage of her mental age to bully others, Jiang Luoluo quickly dismissed the thought.

She was beaten by Python, who was older in mentality, so why can't she take advantage of her age to bully Bei?

She recently learned how to fight!

"Then do you want to fight me?" Jiang Luoluo invited directly.

Actually, Jiang Luoluo had been invited by Python so many times recently that she subconsciously started to imitate it.

People tend to subconsciously learn from the behavior of those who are better than themselves.

“!” Bei was even angrier.

Someone who couldn't even beat a weakling like a grasshopper and was beaten to tears dared to challenge the leader of his little group; they were simply showing him no respect whatsoever.

However, before taking action, Bei hesitated carefully for a moment.

"You won't cry if you lose, will you?"

His parents said that Luo was very important to the tribe and that he should not be bullied.

If word gets out that he beat Luo until he cried, his parents will definitely give him a good scolding.

"I won't cry!" Jiang Luoluo was also angry.

Damn it, how did they all know she was crying!

She only cried once, what's so special about that!

Bei looked at Jiang Luoluo with suspicion, his face showing disbelief, but he still nodded, "Okay, you said it yourself."

Let him get a scolding from his mom and dad; his position as the leader of this little group cannot be challenged!

This is a responsibility he should bear in order to maintain his position.

Bei took a determined stance.

Then Jiang Luoluo pinned him to the ground.

Although Baby is a year older than Jiang Luoluo, she doesn't have any advantage in terms of size, and she is no match for Jiang Luoluo in terms of strength.

In addition, Jiang Luoluo has been training recently, with teachers like He who teach the basics, sparring partners like Zhuang and happy, and guidance from Ge and Mang.

If that's the case, how useless is Jiang Luoluo if she can still lose to people her own age!

Jiang Luoluo estimated that, unless it was a monster with outstanding talent like Ge or Mang, she was unlikely to have any rivals among children under ten years old.

Confidence returned to Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo pressed down on Bei, thinking smugly, "She really is amazing."

Bei looked shocked, then indignant and resentful. "Impossible! You can't even beat a grasshopper! You even made him cry, how could you possibly beat me?"

"Shall we do it again?" Jiang Luoluo let go, stood up, and raised her eyebrows triumphantly.

I sensed the python's happiness.

"Come on, come on!" Bei patted the dirt off his clothes, yelled, and charged at Jiang Luoluo again.

As expected, Jiang Luoluo pinned him to the ground again.

"Do you admit defeat this time?" Jiang Luoluo smiled smugly.

I feel like I've finally let out all the pent-up frustration I've been feeling lately. Hehehe, it turns out that "bullying" others is so much fun!

"I admit defeat," Bei readily admitted.

...It's rare to see someone as unconvinced and persistent as Jiang Luoluo in the tribe, because most people don't actually have that many ideas.

A win is a win, and a loss is a loss.

Bei was stubborn once, but only because in his heart, Jiang Luoluo was someone weaker than a grasshopper. His worldview was overturned, and he was too shocked, so he wanted to try again.

The second time, he calmed down, carefully observed the gap between himself and Jiang Luoluo, and after confirming that he was indeed no match for Jiang Luoluo, he immediately accepted the result.

They announced that Jiang Luoluo had become the leader of their little group.

Other children nearby also witnessed this scene and joined in accepting Jiang Luoluo's new identity—she had defeated the most powerful Bei, so she should rightfully inherit Bei's position.

However, if anyone feels dissatisfied, they can challenge Jiang Luoluo to compete for the position of leader in the small group.

But Jiang Luoluo's performance just now was so impressive that everyone was self-aware enough not to provoke the new leader at this moment.

"But you're so strong, how come you still got beaten up by a grasshopper and cried?" Bei scratched her head in confusion.

Jiang Luoluo, feeling annoyed, puffed out her cheeks and formally announced her first order as the new boss to everyone present.

"From now on, you are not allowed to discuss this matter with me!"

Jiang Luoluo didn't intend to explain that it wasn't a grasshopper that defeated her, but a python.

The python wanted to provide the grasshopper with a clean and simple environment to grow up in, and she certainly wouldn't expose the special relationship between the grasshopper and the python just to save face.

Meng is a child who dislikes fighting. Although children with this personality are rare in the tribe, they are not entirely absent.

Some children will undergo some changes after growing up or awakening their orc bloodline, enabling them to participate in hunting battles normally like other members of their race.

However, some children are born with this kind of personality, and there is no way to force them. So when they grow up, the tribe will try to let them do things that do not require them to participate in combat.

After all, sending children with this kind of personality to participate in hunting is not only disregarding their lives, but also irresponsible towards the other members of the tribe who are also participating in the hunt.

Fortunately, although the tribe mainly relies on hunting for food, there are also some non-combat tasks that require manpower to complete.

"Okay, boss!" the six or seven children said in unison.

Even the grasshoppers chirped loudly in agreement.

Jiang Luoluo kept turning back to look at Meng. The same body and the same voice gave people completely different feelings. It was so disjointed!

"Very good! Very energetic!" Jiang Luoluo nodded in satisfaction, enjoying the prestige of being the leader.

Oh right, she remembered that there were several children with You, and those should also be considered her subordinates.

I'll merge them together when I have some free time another day.

Jiang Luoluo began to envision her "leadership cause".

Suddenly, Bei poured a bucket of cold water on Jiang Luoluo's head, instantly cooling down her initially enthusiastic heart.

"Boss, when are we going to start our adventure?" Bei asked sincerely.

They have gathered here today for this long-awaited adventure conference.

If we don't explore now, we'll never have another chance—meaning that in a couple of days, adult tribesmen will clear away the weeds and plants here.

"Huh? Uh... Let's start the adventure then!" Jiang Luolu blinked quickly, waved her hand, and pointed to the weeds and bushes.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the other children didn't move; instead, they all stared intently at Jiang Luoluo.

"?" Jiang Luoluo asked, puzzled.

What's wrong? Why isn't it moving?

Perhaps alerted by the python inside him, Meng cautiously approached Jiang Luoluo and whispered, "Luo, you should take the lead in these kinds of adventures."

Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened suddenly. She looked at the grasshopper, then at the other children beside her with expectant eyes, then at the weeds and bushes, and then down at her clean new clothes.

No way!!!

Although this pile of weeds is likely to be dangerous except for being dirty, messy, and complicated, there is still a one percent or one thousandth chance.

For example, you might find snakes, insects, rodents, and ants that hibernated inside during the snow season after the ice broke...

The reason the tribe cleared the weeds so quickly was to prevent these overgrown areas from becoming nests for small wild animals or snakes.

These children certainly knew this, otherwise why would they call it an "adventure"?

It's because there might be some minor dangers during this activity, such as encountering dead snakes or insects, or even those that are still alive.

Therefore, as the leader of the entire group, one must take the lead and explore a safe route so that others can follow.

At the same time, when danger arises, one must be the first to face it and protect others behind them.

Otherwise, how could he become the boss?

Now, telling me to go home and change my clothes seems too late... and I feel like I'm running away in panic.

Under the expectant gazes of so many eyes, Jiang Luoluo sighed, "Alright, then you all stay close to me."

We'll have to talk about the clothes later.

First and foremost, one must not tarnish the prestige of one's superior position.

The weeds and bushes were over a meter tall, with branches and leaves growing densely and intertwined, making it impossible to walk through them standing up.

Also be careful of sharp blades that could cut your clothes or skin.

Because the grass blades grow so densely that they are almost stuck together, it is difficult to separate them by hand—a way for plants to compete for sunlight by covering other plants with more and larger leaves so that other plants cannot grow better than themselves.

Furthermore, the children's goal wasn't to clear a path and swagger through, but rather to experience the feeling of "adventure."

The main purpose of an expedition is... the process of exploration.

So Jiang Luoluo chose to crawl forward, carving a path through the lower part of the plant.

The plant has fewer leaves at the base and stem, leaving a large gap in the middle, which is enough for small children to pass through.

In addition, most children carry their own small stone knives to cut open weaker plants or rotten roots, making it even easier to pass through.

The downside is that there are many rotten plants on the ground that haven't been fully absorbed as fertilizer, and many of them still contain a lot of water.

When Jiang Luoluo crawled over and pressed her hand on it, it would suddenly burst out, carrying a foul, rotten, fishy smell of grass and leaves, mixed with a bunch of sticky liquid.

Jiang Luoluo even began to worry that these liquids might contain toxins, and that she might have an allergic reaction if she came into contact with them too often.

However, upon closer inspection, she discovered that she recognized most of these plants—at the exchange meeting on Little Stone Mountain, Jiang Luoluo had already identified most of the common plants in the tribe.

If it were truly a poisonous plant, it wouldn't have remained untouched until now.

So apart from possibly being a little dirty, it's not very dangerous.

Jiang Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, but was even more distressed about her clothes. Would she still be able to keep them after going back like this?

Seeing Jiang Luoluo leading the way, the other children followed the path she had explored and crawled inside.

Because the environment below wasn't like a cave, there were many gaps around it that didn't obstruct the view, so Jiang Luoluo could see the other children behind her when she turned around.

Surprisingly, the order in which the children entered the cave was not random, but rather arranged in a very regular pattern.

For example, Bei, the former leader, was in first place behind Jiang Luoluo, while the child who was clearly only slightly weaker than Bei was in last place.

As the most capable person, it is only natural that they should take the lead and deal with all possible accidents and dangers. Those who are slightly less capable should be responsible for ensuring the safety of everyone "behind" them, so that they are not attacked from both sides.

The grasshopper that is considered the "weakest" in the small group is ranked in the middle or lower position, not last.

The two children, positioned in front of and behind the grasshopper, tugged at the grasshopper as they crawled, making sure it kept up with the group, showing great care for it.

It looked harmonious, but Jiang Luoluo knew that this care was because no one regarded the grasshopper as a threat or an opponent.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

Before drilling, Jiang Luoluo was filled with resistance.

But after crawling inside and getting her clothes completely soaked, Jiang Luoluo began to give up on herself, no longer caring about cleanliness, and even began to experience a little bit of fun.

Not all the children behind them were so well-behaved.

Some started exploring to the sides after climbing halfway up.

After all, most of the bottom is hollow, so it's easy to see some bulging parts on the sides.

Some have a rock underneath, while others are plant fruits and seeds.

Jiang Luoluo led the way and didn't pay much attention to what was happening behind her until a child let out a surprised shout!

"There's a snake here!"
