Chapter 6 Genetic frenzy!
In the following days, Lan Cang searched everywhere for rare spiritual plants and gave her all kinds of tonic things, hoping to show his prowess.
In just three days, seven orcs disappeared in the tribe, and even a fertile female was missing. This incident completely alarmed the old patriarch, who urgently sent a team to the foggy area.
The foggy area is the deep part of the primitive jungle that has not been explored yet. There is a layer of light white fog covering the sky above the primitive area. It cannot be dispelled by any force. If you walk into it, you will be swallowed by the white fog. It is difficult for weak orcs to walk out. They will be completely lost in the white fog and become food for star beasts...
Lan Cang was also in this temporarily established emergency search and rescue team.
The orcs in the search and rescue team are at least at the peak of level three. His level has already fallen to level one. How could he be chosen?
"Don't worry, there must be some star beasts that sneaked out of the foggy area and secretly attacked the tribal orcs. We just need to kill those star beasts. It's no different from a normal hunting mission. This isn't my first time on a mission, so I'm not that useless."
He has regressed to the first level, but his skills and combat experience are still there, so he will not necessarily lose even if he faces a few third-level orcs.
Lan Cang spoke casually, but Sang Luo kissed his eyes out of heartache. She knew that every time a large hunting team went out, there would be orcs sacrificed.
That afternoon, all the females came to see their partners off on a long journey, and Sang Luo naturally came as well.
The ointment that Lan Cang bought was very effective. The wounds on her face were almost healed. Her rosy cheeks had beautiful facial features, her skin was white as snow, her figure was slim but plump, and most importantly, her smell was quite charming.
Many single male animals stared with their eyes wide open and could not walk anymore.
Sang Luo hugged Lan Cang tightly for a long time before pulling one of his hands away.
[Be careful in everything you do. If you encounter danger, don't fight, just run away. ]
【I'll wait for you to come home.】
There is no love word more touching than this.
Lan Cang's heart was so soft that in front of countless envious gazes, he lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly, then quickly walked to the front of the team.
Sang Luo saw that his ears turned red again.
The team is ready to go.
However, a gaze was fixed on her from beginning to end, prying, coveting, and with an aggressive possessiveness. It had never left since the moment Sang Luo appeared, and this gaze obviously did not come from Lan Cang.
"You, are you the little mute?" Tu Zhu walked up to her, his eyes full of amazement. For a long time, his mind was filled with the sweetness and tenderness of her smile to Lan Cang, which could not be erased.
Sang Luo glanced at him indifferently, then turned and left.
The way the male orc looked at her was very uncomfortable, as if he was looking at an exquisite object that could be owned and played with at will.
She heard from Li Man and the others that this man had always been at odds with Lan Cang. He used to be the youngest and most powerful orc in the tribe, but when Lan Cang came, he was suppressed and held a grudge against him. After Lan Cang was seriously injured and fell in realm, he was the one who stood up and laughed the loudest. He was also the one who took the initiative to propose to send her, a mute, to Lan Cang to humiliate him!
Tu Zhu immediately reached out and grabbed one of her arms. The man was as strong as an iron clamp and it was difficult for her to break free. He smiled and said, "Don't you recognize me? The day you were picked up by the tribe, I also wanted to save you. Unfortunately, you were too weak at the time and I thought I couldn't support you. If I had known that you..."
He wanted to continue saying something, but was forced back by another force. Lan Cang came back and held his partner in his arms, shooting cold eyes at him like arrows, "You may have mistaken someone because of your poor eyesight. Luo Luo has never known you. She doesn't even know who you are or what your name is. Don't be wishful thinking here."
Tu Zhu's face darkened. "Don't forget your current situation. Even if I want to force Luo Luo to marry me, what can I do? You can't stop me at all!"
The atmosphere between the two was tense.
"Tu Zhu!" Manla walked out of the crowd, grabbed Tu Zhu, and glared at Sang Luo angrily.
The two strongest orcs in the tribe are also her best partners!
Why does this bitch want to seduce everyone?
She was so angry!
Manla and Tuzhu are not true partners yet, but every orc in the tribe knows that the two are a perfect match made in heaven for the Koldo tribe. One is most likely the next generation patriarch, and the other is the heir to the witch doctor. In the future, Tuzhu will definitely marry into Manla's family and get married. It is said that the two sides have even discussed the marriage early on, giving him the status of first partner.
Manla specially picked out the most beautiful pomegranate red linen skirt today. The skirt was very tight at the waist. She had a large frame and a fat figure, and could only take a breath when walking. Now that the waist was loose, several wrinkles appeared on her abdomen. She also deliberately smeared rouge made from a special stone on her face and lips. Red is an elegant color, but if it is not worn well, it will become vulgar.
Manla originally had a pretty and delicate appearance, but after this makeover, she looks gaudy.
The other female partners present looked at Manla strangely when they saw her dressed up so gorgeously and smelling of estrus. Li Man even rolled her eyes and cursed her inwardly for being a coquettish bitch.
Some male animals couldn't help but look over here, and were pulled aside by their ears by their partners.
Manla, who was more beautiful than all the other girls, was very proud of herself. She had eaten sweet fruit specifically to become estrus half a month in advance. You should know that the orcs in the search and rescue team were the top orc warriors among the surrounding tribes. They were urgently summoned by the tribe leader for help, and you could never see them normally.
Tu Zhu's eyes didn't focus on her at all, but instead he stared at Sang Luo with burning passion.
She just stood quietly under the tree, but people couldn't take their eyes off her. She was wearing a long skirt made of high-quality material that the tribal orcs had never seen before. It was obvious that the exquisite workmanship was only found in prosperous cities. The blue of the water was like the sky, and the satin skirt was like flowing clouds, light and elegant, dancing in the breeze, like a touch of faint blue in the clear lake, exuding a noble and elegant temperament.
In an instant, the glory that should have belonged to her was taken away! Manla's heart was filled with jealousy, and she used her nails to bite hard.
Tu Zhu restrained his expression and looked over. He was already unhappy that Manla had interrupted her good time. When he saw the uneven rouge on her clothes and face, he frowned and said in a cold voice, "What do you look like in this? It looks like a ghost. Wash it quickly, so that others don't laugh at you."
After saying that, he shook her off and strode away with the team.
After entering the foggy area, Tu Zhu was still thinking about the graceful and beautiful figure of the little weak female. He touched his mouth and didn't expect that the little mute was so beautiful. It would have been great if he had been the one who took her away at that time.
The scent on her body is also very charming and clean. Although her fertility is low, she is so beautiful that whether she can give birth to a child is not important. She can be a lover to serve me. Just think about the taste of riding on her, it must be wonderful.
Most orcs do not agree with one male and multiple females, but if a male is strong enough to support two females, naturally no one objects. For example, if a beautiful female with low fertility does not want to be sent to a female shelter and toyed to death by stray animals, then she will most likely be willing to become the lover of a strong male in order to obtain his support and protection.
Tu Zhu looked solemnly at Lan Cang in front of the team, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Lan Cang felt the dark gaze behind him, paused, and without looking back, he slowly clenched his fists at his sides.
Suddenly, his ears moved and his expression changed suddenly, "Get out of the way!"
The whole person disappeared instantly, and a pitch-black beast as strong as a hill rushed out and knocked down a row of huge trees! Several orcs also dodged in time, and saw that the ground they were standing on just now was cracked, and the collapse of the ground and the destruction of the rocks were really frightening!
The next second, Lan Cang appeared above the star beast, his hands turned into claws, and his sharp claws pierced the thick flesh on the giant beast's neck. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining its black sideburns.
He half-knelt on the star beast's back, twisted his five fingers, and pulled a green beast crystal out of the star beast's flesh and blood. The giant beast instantly fell to the ground and died completely. Cheers broke out from the crowd, and Tu Zhu's face became very strange.
He was a first-level orc, but he actually killed a fourth-level peak star beast? !
“Brother Lancang, the injuries on your body…” Kemu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, “Is your strength recovering?!”
Lan Cang did not crush the crystal to absorb it. After wiping it clean, he threw it into the bag around his waist and hummed lightly.
He had actually noticed during this period that his strength seemed to be slowly recovering.
It seemed that after meeting Luo, especially every time he was close to her, he could feel his mania level decrease...
"You haven't gone out hunting with the group for a long time since you were injured three years ago. We are all very happy to see that you have recovered to your former self!" A middle-aged leopard beast patted him on the shoulder. He was an orc from the neighboring Tumon tribe. Orcs from the surrounding tribes often hunt in groups.
Although having one more powerful male in the tribe would suppress the glory of other males, having one more high-level and powerful orc would bring more protection to the females and cubs in the tribe and even in the surrounding tribes.
They are also happy.
"Why do I feel that since you met that little weak female, Brother Lan Cang, your condition has been getting better and better? But it's true, hehe, looking at such a beautiful and cute little female every day, who wouldn't want to catch more prey for her and earn some crystals? Otherwise, what if she runs away with another male?"
"By the way, the little female doesn't seem to have any signs of mate formation yet. You guys haven't been mate forming for so long, have you?" Someone nudged his arm with his elbow as he walked by, and said with a teasing smile, "If you don't hurry up and get close to her, you'll be taken by other males first."
"Time is running out, what are you guys chatting about here? Hurry up and get on with your journey!" Tu Zhu rebuked coldly.
Everyone stopped talking and focused on walking through the forest.
"Lan Cang, you, take a few people to search the forest in the west. I will take the others to search the south. The terrain there is complicated, and there is a waterway directly connected to the tribe. If there are high-level star beasts with intelligence and take advantage of the elite orcs in the tribe to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, the females and cubs in the tribe will be in danger."
Tu Zhu is the captain of the search team and has the power to dispatch team members.
The western forest is remote, so it is unlikely that any star beasts would take that road, but it would not be a bad idea to send a few people over to check it out. The road to the south is obviously more dangerous and requires more manpower and assistance, but everyone has no objection.
……
Sang Luo was restless after returning and tossed and turned at night, unable to fall asleep. Lan Cang had been a mercenary in even more dangerous situations before, and he still survived. Even if he could not defeat those star beasts, he certainly had the ability to protect himself, so there was no need to worry too much.
She comforted herself in this way, but still went to the old patriarch every few days to inquire about the situation.
That day, before she reached the clan leader's house, she saw several elders hurrying there. The uneasy feeling in her heart suddenly rose again, and she hurriedly followed them.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense and solemn.
A messenger eagle beast half-knelt on the ground and said, "Lan Cang...is out of control again!"
"Hasn't he been in control all these years? Why did he suddenly lose control?"
The clan leader was furious. He had no children, but he had never taken into account Lan Cang's identity as an alien beast. He always treated Lan Cang as his heir. Unfortunately, he suddenly lost control and ran away three years ago, and then his realm fell to that of a low-level beast. He had to give up the position of future clan leader to Tu Zhu.
These days, the old patriarch was very relieved to see his condition gradually improving and coming out of the haze. How could it happen again... Oh, could it be that the tragedy of three years ago will happen again?
"We don't know the specific situation. There were two orcs who went with Lan Cang at the time. They said that they were attacked by a powerful star beast in Xilin. The two of them were protected and escaped, but Lan Cang couldn't make it out. During the battle with the star beast, his power got out of control again." The eagle beast also said worriedly, "Chief, should we send someone to bring him back? If he loses control this time, his genes will most likely be completely degenerated. By then, he... he will completely become an irrational beast!"
Sang Luo had been in the tribe for more than a month and had learned a little about the orcs' genetic mania. She had even witnessed with her own eyes a fourth-level orc suffering from a genetic mania attack being driven out of the tribe.
She didn't know the exact cause of the disease, but it seemed that this disease only occurred in male orcs.
The more talented and powerful an orc is, the more likely he or she is to suffer from genetic mania, degenerate into an irrational primitive beast, have their lifespan greatly shortened, and eventually die of exhaustion.
The only way to relieve the genetic frenzy is through mating with females.
The higher the level of the female, the better her soothing ability.
If the female's level is too low, she will not have any effect on the mania of the powerful male, and she may even be unable to give birth to offspring normally.
So unlike the lower-level male beasts who frantically pursue females, the more genetically gifted the males are, the more cautious they will be in choosing a partner. Unfortunately, not only are females scarce in number, their realm is far weaker than that of males. Even females who have awakened the power of beast patterns are rare.
I heard that many beast kings on the continent are still single and have difficulty finding a suitable partner to have children. The ancient races have not had any new bloodlines for thousands of years and are on the verge of extinction.
"Hey, you're here. Over in Lan Cang..." The patriarch saw Sang Luo holding the door with a pale face, and he had obviously heard the bad news.
Other orcs also suggested whether to send a search and rescue team to bring Lan Cang back.
The old patriarch took a deep breath and made a difficult decision, "Let the search and rescue team continue to concentrate on searching for the lost star beasts, and don't worry about the rest."
The star beasts are now the biggest crisis for the Kordo tribe. Dispersing their strength at this time will only give the star beasts an opportunity to take advantage, and the ones who will suffer will be the females and cubs of the entire tribe.
Compared to a male who has fallen in realm, the females and cubs of the tribe are the key to the reproduction of the race, and they are always put first at all times.
What's more...even if the old patriarch didn't say it, everyone else knew it clearly in their hearts.
Lan Cang’s talent is too high. Once his genes go crazy, there will be no female in the tribe who can match him to relieve him.
I managed to survive the first genetic frenzy by chance, and only experienced a drop in realm. That was already lucky enough.
Luck never comes twice.
This time... he will definitely die.
Sending more people to bring him back at this time would not only fail to save him, but would also cause more casualties. After all, an orc with out-of-control genes is no different from a mad and powerful beast, only destroying and attacking without any regard for his relatives.
Losing a partner was undoubtedly a grief, and the old patriarch wanted to comfort the little female, but suddenly found out -
The female is missing?!
"Quick! Find someone quickly!"
