Chapter 190: Real or Fake?
After slowly sitting down by the campfire again, Ruan Mianmian and Zhi and Hui began to recount the details of their trip.
"Actually, the mine still exists, but the number of orcs in our tribe who are skilled in earth-based powers is far too small. With just two people digging, I don't know when it would be finished! So, I only dug a small section before returning home," Ruan Mianmian said, shaking her head helplessly.
Indeed, Tu and Yuan both mistakenly believed that the mine had been completely mined out, but this was not the case.
What they excavated was only a certain layer. The truth is that there is an entire mineral vein running beneath this vast and deep forest!
Although Zhi and Hui didn't quite understand the concept of "mineral veins," they knew in their hearts that since the goddess had always kept it in her heart, it must be an extremely precious and rare item.
At this moment, Hui spoke with a slightly dejected tone: "Actually, for orcs to advance and improve their strength, there is a certain element of luck involved. You see, even among orcs at the same fourth-tier level, those with special abilities are clearly much stronger than ordinary orcs without special abilities."
Don't underestimate the sheer number of wolf warriors; in reality, there's a considerable gap between them.
Take Yong for example. The reason he was able to sit on the throne of the Wolf King was, on the one hand, his own outstanding skills, and on the other hand, because he had successfully achieved an advancement breakthrough at a very early age and developed unique superpowers in the process.
After hearing Hui's words, Ruan Mianmian's gaze fell on the blazing fire in front of her, and she fell into deep thought for a long time.
Time passed slowly, and apart from the occasional crackling of the firewood, all was quiet.
It's unclear how much time had passed, but suddenly, Ruan Mianmian broke the silence and asked, "Have you ever heard of any beastmen on this vast and boundless beastman continent who exhibit atavism?"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
Upon hearing this, Zhi and Hui both shook their heads in unison and replied, "Although this matter has been passed down through generations in our tribe, we have indeed not heard of any beastman showing signs of reversion to their ancestral nature in the last hundred years!"
At this moment, Zhi looked up at Ruan Mianmian and added, "You know, for us orcs, achieving our own advancement is already extremely difficult. If an orc with the ability to revert to his ancestral form were to appear now, it would be an existence that defies the heavens!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian seemed to be deep in thought. After a brief pause, she slowly spoke, "If... I mean, if I possessed the special ability to cause beastmen to revert to their ancestral form, do you think that would be a good thing, or would it cause a lot of trouble and disaster?"
Upon hearing her words, everyone was astonished, their eyes widening as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Could there really be someone in the world who possesses such incredible and unbelievable magical power that could cause orcs to revert to their ancestral form?
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone waited in silence, hoping that Ruan Mianmian would provide further explanation or answer.
"If you really have this ability, that would be an incredible thing!" Hui was the first to recover and said excitedly, "It means our tribe will have even greater power, and maybe we can even become the most powerful tribe!"
Others echoed her sentiments, expressing their agreement with Hui's viewpoint.
However, Ruan Mianmian gently shook her head, "Things are probably not that simple. This ability may arouse the covetousness and competition of other tribes, and may even trigger a war. Moreover, if it is used by people with ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Her words made everyone think deeply, realizing that this ability could bring not only benefits, but also endless trouble.
"I think you're all overthinking it. The leader is just a hypothetical figure; he doesn't have that ability right now. I think you're all overthinking it," Mori said to everyone after glancing at Zhi.
“Yes, it’s been over a hundred years, and we’ve never heard of any beastmen reverting to their ancestral form. Advancing is very difficult now, so let’s not think about it too much.” Zhi looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
After hearing this, everyone resumed their lively conversation and started talking about what they had seen and heard on their trip.
But the group around the campfire couldn't help but think more deeply. The chief never made empty promises; since he had said so today, he must have a plan. It seemed that something big was about to happen in the tribe...
