Chapter 821 - 820: The Matter of the Reward
The Orc on the very edge shifted the Green Sheep Beast he was carrying onto his other shoulder and then cautiously inserted himself into the conversation, "Not to be the one to say it, brothers, but Captain Xiu Yan did say that not only do we have to capture Green Bull Beasts and Green Sheep Beasts, we also need to bring back some Giggle Beasts and Gagabeasts."
Seeing that the surrounding Orcs were all looking at him, he pursed his lips, and a blush spread across his wheat-colored skin. Being stared at by so many of his tribe, the Orc felt a bit embarrassed and pursed his lips again, "Should we catch some when we head back?"
The Orcs, who had just been showing off, immediately froze at his words, looking at each other in astonishment, "Did Captain Xiu Yan say to catch Giggle Beasts and Gagabeasts?"
Looking at a group of tribesmen clearly not focused, the young Orc sighed in silence, feeling how difficult his own situation was. Those older Orcs were too cheeky; they had all nodded seriously when Captain Xiu Yan had spoken, and now they seemed inclined to slack off.
The young Orc’s chubby cheeks puffed up in disdain, like a tiny pufferfish, and with the shy blush that had appeared from his prior embarrassment, his charming appearance instantly struck a chord in the hearts of the older uncles in the Hunting Team.
Such a cute young Orc that had just come of age!
The Orcs looked at him with mischief in their eyes and roared as they rushed up, turning his previously smooth long hair into a Giggly Beast Nest that was far from beautiful in its styling.
However, thanks to the young Orc’s reminder, those mature Orcs still very consciously abandoned their plans to slack off, walking off and leaping into the surrounding jungle to capture the Giggle Beasts and Gagabeasts that were so scared they could drop an egg in flight.
Back at the rally point, Xiu Yan had already been there for quite a while, and as time passed, the expressions on the faces of the Orcs grew increasingly solemn and icy.
Although they had all grown up in the same Tribe, the thought of them delaying his time to spend with his little female made his already sharp brows grow colder.
Soon, panting breaths came from the jungle to one side, and two Hunting Teams appeared at the rally point simultaneously. Seeing Xiu Yan seated under the large tree and the pile of prey beside him that was half the height of a small mountain, the Orcs instantly lost their competitive spirits. They drooped like drenched Giggle Beasts, utterly disheartened.
Xiu Yan glanced at the two teams and spoke with a voice full of chill, "What’s the dawdling for?"
Both teams jerked to attention and hurriedly ran over, standing erect with their catches. Seeing the big and small prey on their bodies, Xiu Yan’s eyes returned to their usual indifference, no longer the icy cold of the winter season.
"Team Two wins. In the same amount of time, they have collected more prey." His voice remained cold, but his words sent Team Two into wild joy after a moment of stunned silence. They put down their prey from their shoulders and began to jump, laugh, and howl, in a display of utter excitement.
Watching them, Team One’s faces couldn’t hide their frustration. Their leader, quite reluctantly, carried a Green Bull Beast over to where Team Two was and threw it into their pile of prey.
This Green Bull Beast would serve as the reward for Team Two, to be distributed only among the Orcs who were part of Team Two’s hunt. No wonder they were ecstatic.
