A Bug’s Desire To Survive - Chapter 80
The orcs take the tribe as a unit, occupy a large area of undeveloped mountains and forests on the land, and live a primitive life of hunting and farming.
Wuzhu is the child of one of the tribe’s djinn leaders and a human woman, who is as inborn as other half-blood orcs. Ordinary orcs can run and jump at the age of 4 or 5, active in the mountains and fields, and learn various life skills, but mixed-race orcs are weak, unresponsive, and prone to illness.
The orc tribe follows the law of the jungle. The weak and useless orcs are worthless to the tribe, and they are discriminated against and excluded.
Although Wu Zhu was the son of the leader, he did not receive any privileges and respect. When he was ten years old, he went out hunting with the tribe, and then was abandoned in the wild, becoming a homeless wanderer since then.
However, no one knows that the half-blooded orcs are in fact natural beast-speakers. They can receive the sounds of birds, beasts, insects and fish from birth and automatically parse their language. Because this information is too complex, it is difficult for ignorant babies to absorb and organize it, resulting in slow growth of many hybrid orcs, and even brain confusion.
The higher the talent, the slower the growth. As the most talented one among the mixed-blood orcs, Wu Zhu’s various performances are extremely ridiculous and incomprehensible to outsiders. His father was ashamed of him, his mother regarded him as the source of his unhappiness, and the children of the same family abused and abused him. Not enough to eat, not warm enough to wear, sick and injured without anyone to take care of him, his childhood was miserable.
But he doesn’t have the emotions that a normal person should have, such as joys and sorrows, love and hatred, no matter how hard life brings him, he can’t feel it.
After being abandoned, he quickly accepted his situation and did not try to return to the tribe, but lived alone in the jungle.
Going out hunting every day, picking wild vegetables and wild fruits, and making tools by myself, from the rough and rough at first, to the mastery later, although it is hard, it is more comfortable than before.
This kind of life continued for five or six years, until the two tribes gradually discovered that the descendants of the half-blood orcs had extraordinary potential, and they began to breed, capture and captivate the half-blood orcs, and Wuzhu became their target without exception.
Before long, the Djinn will send people here to search for him. As the child of the leader of the giant spirit clan, he had never enjoyed the protection and warmth of the tribe. After self-reliance, he was taken back as a beast by them and forced to make dignified sacrifices for the growth of the tribe.
When Yuan Yuan first found him, he had escaped two pursuits, faintly aware of the danger of his situation, and then decisively abandoned his original residence and began to wander around in the jungle.
Now is the time when Wu Zhu’s vigilance is at its highest, Yuan Chu couldn’t get close at all, let alone gain his trust.
However, Yuan Chu was not in a hurry, because she knew that Wu Zhu would eventually fall into the trap of the giant spirit clan, and what she had to do was to become a prisoner of the giant spirit clan first.
Her identity in this world is also an abandoned half-blood orc, who was branded with a skull flower mark on the back of her left hand by her clan when she was born. Every half-blood orc has one, not only for identification, but also for tracking and positioning.
This kind of mark can be sensed by high-level orcs within a certain range, and unless they have a stronger strength than them, they cannot escape at all.
“There is a half-blood orc here!” A rough voice came from the woods, and the next second, six or seven tall orcs appeared in the original line of sight.
Originally surrounded by them, there was nowhere to escape.
“Huh? Isn’t it Wuzhu?” Wu Jinbao looked at Yuanchu up and down, and said strangely, “Which tribe did this come from? I’ve never seen it before.”
“What about him, one more is not too much.” Sen Luo tutted a few times, and said regretfully, “It looks so good-looking, but it’s not a female, otherwise it will be a big hair.”
Orcs can distinguish gender by smell, but this is not a problem for Yuanyuan, as long as she wants, she can change or hide her breath at will.
She could have turned into a male directly, but the first time she entered the WTO, she chose a female, and she already has gender recognition. She will not change unless she has to.
“Grab it.” Wu Jinbao didn’t talk nonsense, rushed up and tied the original tightly.
The original height was only 1.7 meters, and in the eyes of the average 2-meter orc, it was like a disability, and it was easy to deal with.
“Wu Zhu should also be nearby, let’s hurry up and bring them back before it gets dark.” Wu Jinbao easily carried Yuan Chu on his shoulders and ran like the wind without being affected at all.
They set up a lot of traps this time, and deliberately drove Wu to the location of the traps.
Wu Zhu relied on the intuition of the beast to avoid danger many times, but the talent of the beast language brought him a lot of mixed information, which seriously interfered with his judgment and actions.
A few hours later, he accidentally stepped on a trap and was caught in a large net.
“Finally caught!” Sen Luo excitedly ran over, kicked him in the back with a scream, and then lifted him up with one hand, “What are you running for? We’re here to pick you up and return to the tribe.”
Wu Zhu looked at him coldly, his face not fluctuating.
“Tsk tsk, still as stupid as before.” Sen Luo pointed at him and said to his companion, “Look, why is he getting uglier as he grows? Are there any females willing to mate with him?”
“Who said that the number of adult mixed-blood orcs is too small, you can only make do with it first, you are really lucky. You don’t have to work, and you can still be compatible with females.” An orc next to him said sourly.
“Wushi, if you are envious, you can also apply to be a beast.” Others teased.
“Bah, I’m a warrior, and if you wave your hand, there will be a lot of females throwing them into their arms.”
“Hahaha, just brag.”
Several people chatted and laughed and walked all the way towards the tribe.
Wu Zhu tried to rip off the rope on his body, but after a few unsuccessful attempts, he stopped wasting his efforts. He turned his head and looked at Yuan Chu, who was also carried on his shoulders. His dark eyes were like cold pools, without waves and bottomless depths.
Yuan Chu also looked back at him, and a strange tone came out of his mouth, like the cry of a rabbit.
Wu Zhu’s eyes flickered slightly and he didn’t respond, but Yuan Chu knew he understood what she meant.
Half-blood orcs can read animal language, but they can’t speak it. Because I heard too many beast languages, I couldn’t specialize in a few. Especially Wu Zhu, who has lived in isolation for many years, and has almost lost the ability to communicate with his family normally. Instead, he is more likely to accept the beast language.
Yuan Chu was asking him just now: [Hello, my name is Yuan Chu. 】
Wu Zhu: “…”
Yuan Chu asked again: [Do you know what they did when they took us back? 】
Wu Zhu remained silent.
Yuan Chu: [They want us to mate with different hybrid orcs and produce excellent offspring. 】
The spider web traces on Wu Zhu’s face twitched slightly, looking particularly hideous.
Yuan Chu didn’t seem to see it, and continued: [Are you willing to accept this kind of life? 】
Wu Zhu turned his head away, expressionless.
He doesn’t have mood swings, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have discernment.
Yuan Chu: [If you don’t want to, then we have to find a way to escape. 】
Without waiting for Wu Zhu to express anything, Wu Jinbao, who was carrying her, interrupted displeasedly, “What are you mumbling about? Be quiet for me!”
Yuan Chu glanced at the back of his head and stopped talking. For a cannon fodder who is bound to be killed by the Child of Luck in the future, she has nothing to care about.
The group accelerated their journey and finally returned to the tribe before sunset.
“Are you back?” A group of orcs gathered around, looking at Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu with great interest.
“Two half-blood orcs?”
“He is Wu Zhu? Ah, he looks so scary!”
“That half-blood orc is very beautiful, but unfortunately it is not female.”
“I want to mate with that half-orc.”
“Me too!”
Several females stared eagerly at Primordial.
“Don’t think about it!” Wu Jinbao threw the person on the ground and said angrily, “They are prepared for mixed-race females.”
“What does that matter? Orc females and hybrid males might produce excellent offspring.”
“That’s right, after seeing you brutish orcs a lot, I sometimes want to change my taste.”
“Hahaha, Jiulu, you are not afraid of draining others.” Sen Luo teased.
Most of the female orcs are also very strong and muscular, and Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu are like underdeveloped children compared to them.
Wu Zhu belongs to the late-maturing type, and at first he was not worried about his later development at all.
“Stop watching here, put them in the beast’s nest, and wait for the leader to come back and deal with it.”
The beast’s nest is a place where mixed-blood orcs are specially imprisoned. Together with Yuan Chu and Wuzhu, there are a total of 19 mixed-blood orcs, including 7 females, who are separated into another nest.
When the hybrid orcs in the lair saw a newcomer coming in, there was no special reaction.
They have lived under oppression for a long time and have long lost their longing for the future. Moreover, they have received too many complicated animal languages, each with their own specialties, and it is quite laborious to communicate with each other.
At first, he glanced at the environment here. In an area of more than 400 square meters, dozens of straw mats and blankets are scattered scatteredly, and there is a simple toilet next door, which exudes a suffocating breath from time to time.
More than a dozen half-blood orcs looked numb, sitting or lying down, no one spoke, and it was as quiet as a morgue.
Wu Zhu walked to the only window and silently watched the scenery outside.
He remembered that when he left the giant spirit clan, there was no beast nest at all. In the past five or six years, it seems that many incomprehensible changes have taken place here.
He didn’t like the previous tribe, and he won’t like the future tribe. All they left him were starvation, insults, ridicule, beatings…all bad memories.
So, he wants to run away.
As the half-blood orc named “Primordial” said.
He doesn’t want to accept this kind of life.
