Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 154 The Cracked Transparent Lens

"Open the door, no need to close it," Wu said, her voice slightly weary.

Chi scratched his head, not understanding why it was turned off and then on again, but he still obediently did as he was told.

The other dozen or so children in the room greeted the shaman noisily, chattering loudly and disturbingly.

However, none of the children touched anything; they were all very careful not to touch the shaman's herbs. This was partly out of respect for the shaman, and partly because these herbs were quite dangerous.

Although they are only six or seven years old, they already have enough ability to distinguish danger and know what they can touch and what they cannot touch.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Chi put down the door panel in his hand, walk past the group of children, and walk towards her. Wu sighed softly.

"Tell me, what are you going to do with all these children?"

Chi scratched his head and chuckled, carefully taking out the transparent lens that Jiang Luoluo had given him from his pocket and placing it on his eyes.

"Witch, look, look! I can see things now!"

The witch paused in her movements, looked up at Chi in surprise, and the first thing she saw was Chi's eyes magnified on the transparent lens... they looked very distorted and strange.

Most importantly... was the "incredulous" expression that suddenly appeared on Chi's face.

"What do you mean by that?" The shaman hadn't finished speaking.

Chi blurted out, "Witch, how come you are so weak... um..."

Jiang Luoluo jumped and hung on Chi, raising her hand to cover Chi's mouth.

Chi could not possibly fail to react to the cub's approach, but the cub was not trying to harm her, so she did not dodge.

Not only did it not dodge, but it also skillfully gripped the transparent lens in one hand while opening its other hand to catch the cub and hold it tightly.

"You can't call someone a witch!" Jiang Luoluo warned Chi Er in a low voice, her eyes wide.

Because the shaman's physique is relatively thin and slender compared to the tribe's people, only Xing looks even thinner than the shaman. Any other orc warrior who has awakened and transformed into a beastman for a few years looks a size larger than the shaman.

Even the children of Fish Cave are no exception.

It's like the difference between telling a normal person "you're lame" and telling a lame person "you're lame".

The former wouldn't care because he's healthy, but for the latter it would be a real blow.

Jiang Luoluo didn't want Chi Wuyi's words to hurt Wu, even if Wu might not care at all, but she just didn't want it.

Chi blinked in confusion, not quite understanding what Jiang Luoluo meant, but she obediently nodded, said "oh," and didn't continue.

After gently placing the cub Luo An on the ground, Chi thought for a moment and continued the previous topic, "...Witch, I can see things now! Look, this is it. Just put it on your eyes and you can see things clearly!"

The witch saw through the two's subtle actions and communication. She shook her head slightly, feeling grateful for the cub's protection of her, but also looking at the dozen or so children beside her with a headache.

"Witch! Chi just said that when we followed him here, she showed us this!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Witch, you must testify; we can't let her go back on her word!"

"That's it!"

"Witch, can I look first?"

"I want to see it first too!"

……

To Wu's surprise, Nan, who was the leader of the children, did not speak. Instead, he secretly observed the cub Luo, then puffed out his chest and tried to act like an adult.

Perhaps in his mind, an adult is someone who doesn't make a fuss or talk... It's just those little gestures that are always trying to do something... You can't see any sense of a mature adult at all.

But Nan's quiet demeanor made Wu relax a bit, allowing him to focus on the transparent lens that Chi handed over, and under Chi's guidance, he experimented with many magnification effects.

While Wu was experimenting with magnification using the transparent lens, the other children in the cabin, like well-behaved members of the atmosphere group, would shout "Wow!" in unison with each new test.

Actually, apart from the first few children who saw what happened, the children behind them were just joining in the fun; they just echoed what others said.

Even though I don't know what everyone is saying, as long as I say it, they'll definitely see it later.

That's attitude!

Nan had been trying to control his excitement and not show the same emotions as the other children, but he didn't realize that his behavior was even stranger.

Jiang Luoluo was already very familiar with the transparent lens, so she didn't get too close. She stood in a corner and looked thoughtfully at Nan, who had seemed a bit off since he appeared.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Luoluo asked curiously.

"Huh? Ah? Me?" Nan was caught off guard by the sudden conversation and flinched for a moment before trying to remain calm as she answered.

"What's wrong with me? Nothing's wrong."

Something's not right, something's definitely not right... But Jiang Luoluo wasn't one to delve into children's minds, so she nodded and went back to continue working on the wolf's tail grass she had only half-finished.

Ah, I was interrupted. I'll stay and discuss it with the witch later to see if she has any extra wolf's tail grass so she can take some back and try it out.

Jiang Luoluo didn't continue asking questions, but Nan couldn't hold back any longer. She glanced at the transparent glasses that she was very interested in but was trying to remain calm, and then at Jiang Luoluo who was obediently picking herbs. After hesitating for a moment, Nan left the crowd and went to Jiang Luoluo's side in the corner.

Perhaps worried that what she was saying was inappropriate, Nan lowered her head, picked up a blade of grass, and started picking it as well.

As she picked the fruit, Nan couldn't help but look at Jiang Luoluo and ask, "Why aren't you excited?"

Jiang Luoluo looked up in surprise. Excited? What was she excited about?

Following Nan's gaze, Jiang Luoluo saw a group of children who seemed as excited as if they had seen a cat toy, and she let out a soft "uh".

"Maybe it's because... I'm the one who made this transparent lens."

Although Jiang Luoluo didn't make it herself, it wouldn't be wrong to say that she did, since she ran around and worked on it for a long time before it was finally made.

Nan suddenly opened her mouth wide, "Huh?"

"Hmm...do you want to take a look?" Jiang Luoluo took out another transparent lens from her small waist bag.

There are more than a dozen children here, and the single transparent lens in their bare hands is not enough for everyone to take turns looking at; they might even fight over it.

Jiang Luoluo had already planned to take it out, not specifically for Nan, but just casually took it out when the conversation ended.

"Really!" Nan jumped up excitedly.

His action immediately attracted the attention of others. The other dozen or so children turned around and saw that the man was holding a transparent lens, and they immediately became excited.

Wow, there's more!

"Nan! I want to see! Let me see!"

"I want to see it too! Let me see it!"

……

In an instant, everyone lost interest in the transparent lens in Chi's hand, turned around, and rushed south.

When they first entered, everyone was very careful not to touch the herbs in the room, but now that they were excited, not many children were still paying attention to that.

In their scramble to be the first to see it, the first few children were so engrossed in their actions that they became uncontrollable.

Nan hadn't recovered from his excitement when he saw a group of children trying to snatch his things. In a moment of impulsiveness, he looked up and unleashed his ultimate skill, intending to drive the children away.

Before Nan could even offer to show them the items, they rushed to snatch them. This was a clear challenge to Nan's leadership position among the children, something Nan absolutely could not tolerate.

There wasn't much space left in the wooden house. At Nan's feet were baskets of herbs, and behind him were shelves upon shelves of herbs...

With this movement, Jiang Luoluo clearly saw that he was about to step into the herb basket, so she quickly pulled the herb basket aside and threw it to avoid Nan's footsteps.

Then he saw that Nan's clothes accidentally snagged on the edge of a wooden box on the wooden shelf behind him, almost pulling the box down as well, so he quickly reached out to press the box down.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Luoluo pressed down on the wooden box, and instead of detaching it, it became fixed in place. Nan's clothes were of particularly good quality, which directly pulled Nan's forward movement.

Nan took a step forward, felt resistance, and was about to continue pushing...

Jiang Luoluo realized that if she continued, it would turn into a struggle with Nan, so she made a quick decision, took out her stone knife from her bosom, and cut at the corner of Nan's clothes that was caught.

As soon as Nan finished gathering his strength, he felt the resistance behind him disappear, and he flew forward.

However, Nan's reaction was not weak. Although he lost control of his body and moved forward, he still remembered to punch and kick each of the other children who rushed towards him along the way, sending them flying.

"South!" The shaman suddenly stood up straight, looking at the chaotic scene before him, his vision blurred.

Fortunately, there was still one child in the house. Almost the instant the children turned around, she reacted, grabbed the two children closest to her, and threw them out through the open wooden door, one on each side.

Chi controlled the force well. The two children rolled on the ground a few times, which dissipated most of the force. They were not injured and quickly got up as if nothing had happened.

"No fighting inside!" Chi's warning voice, like a beast's roar, startled all the children, causing them to freeze in their tracks for a moment.

They hurriedly threw the children out.

In the blink of an eye, only Nan and the children he had knocked away remained in the room.

Seeing that two children were about to crash into the wooden shelf containing the shaman's herbs, Chi's body revealed a giant red wolf tattoo. He moved even faster, grabbing the children's arms before they actually crashed into the shelf, pulling them back, and throwing them outside the house.

Only the wind that it stirred up blew a few herb leaves off the tree and onto the ground.

Chi continued moving, targeting the last remaining child, Nan. Nan reacted much faster than the other children, but only managed to utter two words.

"Wait a minute..." *snap*

The person had already fallen outside the house.

Just as Jiang Luoluo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Chi turn around and reach out his demonic hand towards her.

Jiang Luoluo immediately widened her eyes. Her first thought was that Chi couldn't see things clearly and didn't recognize her. She quickly reached out and hugged Chi's neck when Chi grabbed her to avoid being thrown out.

"It's me..." The childish voice carried a hint of panic.

Chi pretended to fling it outwards, but didn't actually use any force. Feeling the sudden tightening on his neck, he smiled smugly, "Ha! I was just trying to scare you!"

"You were scared, weren't you, Luo?"

How could Chi not recognize the cub Luo, and how could she really throw the cub Luo away?

Even if Wu Rang Chi throws Jiang Luoluo out, Chi will secretly change the action of "throwing" to "gently putting down".

Jiang Luoluo was furious when she realized she had been tricked. She really thought she was going to be thrown out!

Enraged, Jiang Luoluo headbutted Chi on the forehead.

"Hiss..." Jiang Luoluo cried out in pain.

Chi, who had been hit on the head, felt no pain but instantly became panicked. "Luo, are you alright?"

"...I'm fine," Jiang Luoluo said in a muffled voice.

That's it. We've only managed to inflict less than one injury on the enemy, but we've lost over eight hundred of our own.

Chi nervously put Jiang Luolu down, never expecting that just teasing the cub would almost cause it to get hurt—in fact, there wasn't even a red mark on its forehead, but Chi couldn't see it clearly and was overthinking it.

"Oh right, the lens!" Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized that Nan, who had just been thrown out, still had a transparent lens in his hand.

Won't the lens shatter or break if it's thrown out like that?

Nan just opened his mouth, and he probably wanted to talk about this, but he couldn't keep up with Chi's movements.

Before he could finish speaking, he was already on the ground outside.

"What lens?" The transparent lens that Chi had been in Wu's hand all along. She hadn't seen Jiang Luoluo give the transparent lens to Nan, so she didn't know that Nan had another transparent lens.

Otherwise, Chi wouldn't have acted so cleanly and efficiently; he would have definitely snatched the transparent lens first and then thrown Nan away.

Upon realizing what had happened, Chi and Jiang Luolu rushed outside. Nan was the last one to be thrown out, so while the other children had already gotten up, only Nan was still lying on the ground.

"Nan, are you alright?"

"Are your lenses alright?"

Jiang Luoluo and Chi spoke at the same time. In Jiang Luoluo's eyes, the transparent lens was just an external object, and more could be made. No one's health was more important.

In Chi's heart, the transparent lens was a very important thing, far more important than those resilient kids.

"It's nothing!" Nan said loudly, lying on the ground, his tone slightly smug.

"The lens is fine, I've been protecting it!" Nan took out the transparent lens that she had been tightly protecting in her arms and held it high.

But before anyone could even breathe a sigh of relief...

A tiny cracking sound came from the transparent lens.

Everyone's attention was drawn to his voice, and they saw a crack appear in the middle of the transparent lens.

The clear lens... is cracked.
