Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 152 New Uses for Telescopes?

The chieftain, feeling dizzy and disoriented, emerged from the shaman's wooden hut. As soon as he looked up, he saw two figures on the wooden platform and heard the very childish laughter of a baby.

Their innocence and carefree nature caused Chief Jing to stop in his tracks.

If you get a little closer, you can hear the cubs' adorable chatter.

"Ge, the clouds in the sky are so beautiful! There's a bird flying by... Oh, Ge, didn't you see it? It's okay, there will be other birds flying by later, we can watch them together."

"Ge! Look over there, isn't it beautiful! Such beautiful flowers... You don't need to pick them for me, the flowers are most beautiful just because they're there. I just need to see them with Ge."

"Ge, you should see it too. Don't always let me see it. I've seen such a beautiful scene, and I want you to see it too."

……

Wow, what are they looking at? Chief Jing couldn't help but think of his own son. Could he say such cute, warm, and pleasant things?

Uh… “Dad, come quick! Look how big my poop was! I’m amazing, okay!”

Uh… “Dad, take this punch… Damn it, I’ll beat you sooner or later! I’ll become the strongest orc warrior!”

Uh… “Dad, I want to eat the meat you’re eating! Why won’t you let me eat the meat you can eat! I want to eat meat! Meat!”

My hands are itching to punch something.

However, after a long period of busy work, both body and mind definitely needed some relaxation, so Chief Jing decided to go and see what the cubs Luo and Ge were looking at.

"leader."

"Greetings, Chief."

Jiang Luoluo and Ge quickly noticed the approaching leader, Jing, and took the initiative to greet him.

Jiang Luoluo probably developed a habit of greeting her teachers every day when she was in school and her boss every day when she was at work, so she always greets her boss with "Hello, leader."

Chief Jing had few interactions with the cub Luo. Although he had heard a lot about the cub Luo, he was not so idle as to spend all his time looking for a cub to meet.

So the leader was immediately captivated by the cub's sweet and adorable greeting, and his expression unconsciously softened.

"How are you, Luo? Your voice is recovering well; you can talk so much now."

Jiang Luoluo's voice hasn't fully recovered yet. If she speaks at a normal pace, she needs to pause after saying no more than ten words.

But Ge wasn't in a hurry, so he let Jiang Luoluo speak slowly, and he was willing to listen attentively. As a result, Jiang Luoluo could say a lot in one breath without feeling tired.

However, Jiang Luoluo couldn't speak slowly when answering Chief Jing's question, so Ge ​​stopped her and introduced Chief Jing himself.

“Chief, this is a telescope made by Luo. It can see very far. We just used it to look around.”

Chief Jing recalled for a moment, "Is it that transparent lens that's been making headlines in the tribe lately? The stone paintings are probably because of it."

Chief Jing knew about this matter, but he didn't intend to interfere. After all, such things couldn't be suppressed at all, and would only make the tribesmen feel dissatisfied and have opinions. It was better to let them play freely for a while.

It's also because it's currently the Great Beast Season, and the tribespeople have plenty of food, so they can take this opportunity to relax. As long as they can bring it back in time, it'll be fine.

Survival is certainly important, but if we can live happier lives beyond just surviving, that would probably be the best thing.

Chief Jing took the telescope from Ge's hand and weighed it in his hand. It was much lighter than he had imagined, since it was a hollow tube that had been hollowed out, rather than a solid piece of wood.

At the same time, I listened to Ge explaining in my ear.

Most of what Jiang Luoluo had mentioned before, Ge had memorized it all and was now repeating it to Chief Jing without missing a single word.

Jiang Luoluo looked at Ge in surprise, never expecting that Ge would remember everything she said... What if she talked nonsense sometime in the future?

That's it. From now on, I must be careful with my words and actions. I must never talk nonsense, and even if I do talk nonsense, I must never talk nonsense in front of Ge!

Ge had no idea that the seemingly obedient cub was actually thinking such wicked things; he was simply focused on explaining to Chief Jing.

From the magnification effect of the transparent lenses and their manufacturing methods to the composition of the telescope.

After listening for a while, Chief Jing finally started trying to look at things through the binoculars.

On his first attempt, Chief Jing did not look too far away, but instead aimed at the ground beneath his feet, which was the surface of the wooden platform.

At first glance, Chief Jing showed a surprised expression. He then put down the binoculars, squatted down, and examined them carefully. He found that the binoculars could indeed magnify very small things to a size that was very clear.

After mentally preparing himself for the effects of the telescope, Chief Jing picked it up and aimed it at the Taz Forest behind Silver Peak Mountain.

The leader, Jing, was looking in the direction he had just overheard Jiang Luoluo and Ge discussing the direction for viewing the flowers.

He wanted to see what kind of flower was so beautiful.

At first glance, Chief Jing did not find the beautiful flower Jiang Luoluo had mentioned, but instead saw a small animal playing.

His expression immediately sharpened.

This small beast is called the Wind Chaser Weasel. It is a wild animal that runs very fast and has an extremely keen sense of smell and observation. It seems to have a certain ability to sense the wind and runs as if it is chasing the wind. It always comes and goes in the wind and is difficult to track.

The danger level is on par with the earth rabbit; it is the kind of animal that will basically not pose a danger to the tribe. Moreover, unless by very chance, the tribe members will rarely encounter this beast, and the Wind Chaser Weasel will run away from a great distance.

The reason why Chief Jing's expression changed towards the Wind Chaser Weasel was because the Wind Chaser Weasel was of extraordinary value to the tribe.

It is known that the Taz Forest is lush with plants, most of which have unique properties. Among them, the most numerous are various plants that can emit hallucinogenic toxins. These plants may not be very harmful themselves, but they have the greatest impact on hunting teams.

At best, it could result in personal injury or death; at worst, it could lead to the annihilation of the entire team due to operational errors.

However, the Wind Chaser Weasel has an organ that can secrete scents. Using the scented bodily fluids secreted by the Wind Chaser Weasel, a sobering potion can be made, which is enough to counteract the hallucinogenic effects of most plants in the Taz Forest.

It is also one of the medicines that hunting teams must bring when entering the Taz Forest.

However, the Wind Chaser Weasel is a very rare beast, and tribes often need to spend a lot of time and manpower to catch just a few.

But now! Chief Jing was just standing in the tribe, doing nothing, when he saw a Wind Chaser Weasel!

Moreover, it was a carefree and unsuspecting Wind Chaser, happily playing among the plants!

Compared to other things, such as continuing to check the telescope's effectiveness, Chief Jing immediately realized that capturing the Wind Chaser Weasel was the most urgent matter at hand.

Upon realizing this, Chief Jing immediately took out a whistle from his waist and blew it.

Ge's expression changed instantly, and he immediately looked up at Chief Jing.

After putting down his whistle, Chief Jingcai explained, "I spotted a Wind Chaser Weasel on the edge of the Taz Forest, not far from Silver Peak Mountain. If we move out now, we should be able to catch it."

Without Chief Jing's explanation, Ge understood the importance of the Wind Chaser Weasel. He was about to nod and prepare for battle when Chief Jing glanced at him and waved his hand with a smile.

"You don't need to go. Stay here with Luo. There's nothing important, and we don't need so many people."

Ge was taken aback, but did not utter a rebuttal; he was about to nod.

Jiang Luoluo suddenly spoke up, "Let Ge go, Chief."

The leader looked at the cub Luo in surprise.

The cub showed an adorable and sensible expression and said in a cute little voice, "I can go find the witch myself and stay with her. I don't need Ge to take care of me."

The cub tilted its head and smiled, "Just remember to come pick me up and take me home."

After thinking for a moment, the cub added, "I know the way home myself, I can go back!"

The two of them were speechless for a moment because of how adorable it was.

Chief Jing glanced at Ge and said helplessly, "Since Luo has said so, Ge, you should come along too."

"Remember to pick up Luo when you come back, don't forget."

Go nodded vigorously. Although he was willing to stay for the sake of the cubs, he also wanted to be the one charging ahead rather than stay behind to do something more secure.

Jiang Luoluo smiled slightly. Of course, she could see what Ge was thinking and did not want to involve Ge in this matter, preventing him from freely doing his own thing.

Most importantly, she's not the kind of child who can't be left alone, so there's absolutely no need to worry!

Chief Jing originally intended to train Ge, but he was worried that the cub Luo might not be used to being left alone here, so he suggested that Ge stay.

Since the cub Luo has said so, he is more willing to take Ge with him and give Ge more opportunities.

Less than two minutes after the whistle blew, several figures appeared on the mountaintop, and leading the charge was Chi, whom Jiang Luoluo knew very well.

Chi arrived at the mountaintop with great interest, asking, "What's the matter? What's the matter? What do you need to do?"

The chief's whistle is the same as the shaman's whistle, with multiple timbres. Different timbres and lengths of sound are used to distinguish different signals.

The whistle that Chief Jing just blew signifies a safe gathering in the tribe during peacetime, indicating that there is no danger. It is usually blown by the shaman to indicate that some manpower is needed to help.

The chief's banner is rarely sounded, because he can do most things by himself and doesn't need anyone else's help. It's only when others can't do something that they come to the chief's banner for help.

So when they heard the whistle, most of the tribespeople who ran up thought that the shaman needed help.

It wasn't until they saw Chief Jing that they realized it was Chief Jing calling them.

Seeing that more than twenty people had come up the mountain, and feeling that the number was sufficient, Chief Jing blew the whistle to signal that those who had not yet arrived or those who had left halfway did not need to come.

Needless to say, as soon as Chief Jing mentioned the Wind Chasing Weasel, the tribespeople present immediately understood what was about to happen and became very excited.

No one questioned Chief Jing's arrangements, nor did anyone ask where or how Chief Jing learned of this information.

After the chief gives the order, they only care about one thing: where the prey is and how they are to hunt it.

The tribespeople all understand the importance of the Wind Chaser Weasel to the tribe. In the past, it always took hundreds of people to search for and chase them for more than ten days to catch just a few.

To everyone's surprise, Chief Jing discovered one right around the tribe—most importantly, it was so close to the tribe.

This point in particular immediately darkened the faces of many tribesmen, reminding them of all the efforts the tribe had made to capture the Wind Chaser Weasel.

Little did they know that the Wind Chaser Weasel actually lived near their tribe and was quite well-off.

What is this if not a provocation? Yet, before this, not a single member of the tribe had ever discovered that there were Wind Chasing Weasels near the tribe.

But upon closer reflection, it's actually quite normal. After all, the Wind Chaser Weasel isn't some powerful beast; it just has the ability to run.

The Taz Forest is teeming with dangerous and powerful beasts. Wind Chaser Weasels are destined to be prey wherever they go. The only safe place is around the tribe.

Because the wild animals around the tribe are regularly cleared out, very few powerful wild animals settle here. Even if they do, they will be cleared away by the tribe within a few days, even if it comes at a great cost.

After all, how can one tolerate someone else snoring beside one's bed!

In an environment free from natural predators, it's quite normal for the Wind Chaser Weasels to come here. After all, they have countless ways to prevent the tribespeople from discovering them, and even if they do, they can't catch up with them at all.

After reconfirming the location of the Wind Chaser, Leader Jing assigned tasks to everyone—except for Akane.

Jiang Luoluo sat on the steps of the wooden platform, watching as Chief Jing gave instructions on who would pursue from the front and who would flank—the Wind Chaser Weasel itself wasn't very strong. As long as it could be contained within the encirclement, capturing it would be a piece of cake.

Most importantly, now that we have a telescope, Leader Jing can observe the movements of the Wind Chaser Weasel within its range of detection and guide the others to block its escape route.

As these arrangements were made, Jiang Luoluo watched as Chi Yuan's smiling expression gradually cooled down. Finally, as if used to it, he raised his arm as if to say something, but then lowered it again, remaining silent.

"Oh, right." Chief Jing turned around, his gaze sweeping over Chi before landing on Jiang Luoluo. "Luo, I'll take this telescope with me."

Jiang Luoluo looked at Chief Jing, who seemed to think, "I'll never take it back," and nodded obediently, replying, "Okay."

It's okay, she's already seen it, and many more telescopes will be made in the future, so let her take it.

The leader, Jing, nodded and quickly left with his men, leaving only Chi standing to the side.

"Luo?" Chi realized there was still someone here, so he adjusted his expression and returned to his usual carefree demeanor.

"Luo, what are you doing here?"
