Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 285

Jiang Luoluo casually picked up a stone from the side, weighed it in her hand, and threw it at You, who was running towards her.

"Yuzu, catch!"

Yu, who was running, looked up at the sound, her face full of a bright smile. She raised her hands, caught the stone flying through the air, and took two steps back to dissipate the force.

"Received!"

Then Yu spun around and threw it at another person, shouting, "Catch!"

Large stones were passed back and forth between different people.

But it's not always that smooth sailing. These stones that are thrown into the air may encounter another stone in mid-air, and the two will collide, breaking into smaller pieces and stone fragments.

It's also possible that a child might slip and fail to catch it, causing it to fall to the ground, shatter, and become a pile of rubble.

Some children don't like this mundane tossing and catching game. They prefer to snipe other children's stones flying through the air, throwing stones of all sizes to intercept and disrupt them, preventing them from successfully tossing and catching the stones.

So, in the game of tossing and catching, dodging other children's interceptions and mischief became another source of fun.

Jiang Luoluo originally thought she wouldn't be able to fit into this kind of game environment.

In her opinion, this game was far too brutal and dangerous, as a mistake or slip could result in the stone hitting another child.

Such a huge rock, combined with the force of falling from a great height, would definitely cause considerable damage, and it certainly looks rather out of place.

However, once she actually tried it out and participated, Jiang Luoluo realized that this way of playing was no different from hitting a sandbag, and even the damage was about the same.

Even Jiang Luoluo herself was initially hit by Shi Tou because she was not familiar with the positioning.

The damage was surprisingly low.

It's also possible that after this period of training, the body has developed a certain ability to withstand impacts.

Realizing that such harm wasn't too serious for the tribal children, Jiang Luoluo quickly integrated into the playful atmosphere.

It brings back memories of carefree childhood days spent playing with friends.

Jiang Luoluo was too naive. She treated throwing and catching stones as a game of hitting a beanbag. However, the fact that this activity was set up on the small rocky hill meant that it had a training purpose.

As Jiang Luoluo played, she discovered that this stone-throwing game actually had a team-based competitive mode.

For example, Nan has a team of friends she's known since childhood, while Jiang Luoluo has a small team of people including Bei and You, as well as members of the Fish Cave group represented by Que.

Zhi has twelve or thirteen-year-old members who grew up with her on Little Stone Mountain. Except for those children with more withdrawn personalities, none of them work alone.

What might have started as a collaboration between teams could have turned into competition between them.

The confrontation began inexplicably, yet proceeded incredibly smoothly.

No one explained the rules, but everyone tacitly understood how the game was played—the two teams threw stones at each other, and if a stone hit an opponent, the opponent was eliminated. If you could catch the stone thrown by the opponent, you could fight back.

Jiang Luoluo initially treated it like a game and didn't take it too seriously. After all, she was good at fighting, dodging, and parrying, so this kind of game was no challenge for her at all.

Until she discovered that Nan on the other side wasn't putting in all the effort, but rather assigning different children different roles, creating a very harmonious team effort.

They also arranged tactics, such as having children who are agile move around on the sides, while children who are not agile but are tough and strong enough defend in the front row.

Let the child who excels in a certain area perform the most appropriate output in the position where they are best at it, while he himself is in the center, flexibly supporting all sides.

In comparison, Jiang Luoluo looked back at her team members. Apart from Bei and You, whom she was relatively familiar with, she couldn't even remember the names of the other children very clearly.

She was completely unfamiliar with the people under her command, so she had no way to arrange things for them, nor did she know what each of them was good at. When they attacked, she was unsure whether to trust them or to take action herself.

Jiang Luoluo's vision went black for a moment—wasn't this a game?!

Nan and the kids under his command grew up together. They weren't together every day, but they played together eight out of ten days. Nan knew exactly who was good at what and what each of them was capable of.

But Jiang Luoluo can't do that; Jiang Luoluo can't do it.

Jiang Luoluo spends most of her time making her own things, and most of the changes in the tribe today are due to her.

Jiang Luoluo couldn't concentrate on researching things while maintaining a level of familiarity and understanding with her friends. She also didn't have the energy to think about what her friends were good at and not good at while she was thinking about those things.

Jiang Luoluo chose one path, which inevitably means she will fall behind on the other. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages; it's impossible to have all the benefits.

The team's coordination was lacking, but Jiang Luoluo wasn't about to give up so easily.

If you're not familiar with the team's member assignments, then don't assign them anything. Let them focus on the hiding task, and she can take on the task of receiving orders herself.

Relying on her strength and physical advantage, Jiang Luoluo single-handedly supported her entire team.

However, this brings a disadvantage: Jiang Luoluo's stamina is depleted too quickly. Once Jiang Luoluo's stamina is depleted to a certain extent, it will mean the failure of Jiang Luoluo's team.

However, because of Jiang Luoluo's all-out effort, the South team didn't fare much better, losing many of their members to Jiang Luoluo's efforts.

Feeling exhausted, Jiang Luoluo didn't insist on continuing and left the field, giving the space to Nan's team and Zhi's team.

Jiang Luoluo sat to the side to recover her strength, looking at the middle of the small rock mountain. She used to sit in this spot often, but the feeling back then was completely different from now. It felt very strange to recall it.

The other children didn't expend as much energy as she did, so they continued playing separately, occasionally causing trouble for the two groups in the middle.

There was only one grasshopper, or rather, python, beside Jiang Luoluo.

Because Meng is very afraid of Jiang Luoluo, he will not be alone with Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't understand why Meng was so afraid of her, such a popular and well-behaved girl.

They had no idea what was so terrifying about them that made the grasshoppers avoid them like the plague.

It's worth mentioning, however, that Meng also appeared in the team fight just now, and unlike before, he didn't have to avoid the fight.

Perhaps it's because this activity isn't a battle that the grasshoppers are able to accept and participate in.

The most unexpected yet somewhat expected thing was that Meng's performance was actually quite good. Whether it was catching stones or retaliating and dodging, he did it very well, relieving a lot of pressure on Jiang Luoluo.

Otherwise, Jiang Luoluo might have lasted even less time.

Moreover, Jiang Luoluo was certain that the person controlling her body was a mantis, not a python.

In other words, if Python had made a move, Jiang Luoluo wouldn't have lost.

Hmm... Of course, if Python makes a move, Jiang Luoluo won't be in the leader's position anymore.

After all, a python doesn't seem to be the type to submit to others.

Jiang Luoluo can't even beat Python in a fight, so how could she possibly subdue Python and make it acknowledge her as its boss?

However, judging from Python's behavior, he probably wasn't very interested in the position of tribal chief. Otherwise, he would have already gathered his own team instead of letting Meng stay behind Bei all day as a follower in the group.
