Chapter 181: Toothwood Tribe, Persuasion

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

These well-built but simple-minded Half-Orcs became increasingly furious as they saw Anina, a small human, charging toward them. Did she underestimate them?

This was an insult to the mighty Toothwood Tribe!

However, what followed was completely contrary to their expectations.

The small and fair fists struck them, sending them flying with each punch.

The clearing resounded with the sound of fists. .h.i.tting flesh and the continuous wails of the Half-Orcs.

Within a few minutes, the battle was over.

The charging Half-Orcs lay in various positions, groaning on the ground, hanging from tree branches, or wedged in the camp wall.

The other Half-Orcs, who had been watching the scene, widened their copper-like eyes in disbelief. Some thought they were seeing an illusion and rubbed their eyes before looking again.

Anina stood triumphantly, hands on her hips, her face filled with ease. She didnt even seem out of breath, as if she had done something insignificant.

The Half-Orcs swallowed their saliva nervously and felt a tingling sensation in their limbs.

One person fought thirty Half-Orcs!

And without any injuries?

Was she still human?

Do you still want to fight? Then come at me together, Anina said, her hands on her hips, giving them a contemptuous look.

The Half-Orcs, fueled by anger, shouted, Dont be afraid! As long as we attack together, we can defeat her!

Thats right! Ura!

You fools! Stop!

A sharp voice came from the camp, miraculously causing the enraged Half-Orcs to halt immediately.

They respectfully made way for someone in their midst.

Ji Chen raised an eyebrow, curious, and looked in that direction.

A female Half-Orc stepped forward.

To his surprise, this female Half-Orc didnt have the usual bulky physique and rough appearance. Instead, she had a slender and fair body, with delicate features.

Except for the pair of white ears on her head, her appearance was strikingly similar to a human, resembling what people often referred to as a Kemonomimi.

She stood in stark contrast to the rugged and green-skinned Half-Orcs behind her, like two completely different styles.

It reminded Ji Chen of certain indescribable scenes.

Looking at the Kemonomimi girl in front of him, he became very interested.

How could there be a Kemonomimi girl among a group of burly Half-Orcs?

And she seemed to be their leader?

[Irona (Hero)]

[Race]: Half-Orc

[Level]: 20

[Current Tier]: Purple (Rare Tier)

[Potential]: Purple (Rare Tier)

Oh, shes actually a rare-tier hero!

Irona looked at the human male before her, sizing him up and feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

However, she had to yield to the dominant force.

She keenly sensed the strength of the hero and realized that the little girl alone could defeat all the Half-Orcs. The Murloc and the beautiful girl with fin-like ears behind the human male were also extremely dangerous.

Under caution, Irona spoke slowly, Sir, may 1 ask what brings you here? 1 dont recall any previous encounters between us.

We havent had any encounters before. Ji Chen smiled. But now we do.

These Half-Orcs attacked us without any provocation and injured my subordinates. So, isnt it fair to ask for compensation?

Ironas eyes widened as she observed the Half-Orc warriors sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain, some suspended from tree branches and the camp wall. Her gaze then s.h.i.+fted to Anina, who remained unscathed, her smile intact.

Her face showed a mix of shock and disbelief.

This human dared to lie to such an extent?

Although she felt angry, Irona knew it wasnt the time to argue.

In the jungle, strength was paramount.

The one with the bigger fist could speak the loudest.

The one with greater strength had absolute authority.

And it was quite embarra.s.sing that dozens of brawny Half-Orc warriors had been defeated by a little girl.

Irona took a deep breath. We are willing to compensate, but Im sorry to say that our Toothwood Tribe has nothing left to offer.

Ji Chen glanced at the other Half-Orcs. They had fierce expressions, but their hungry looks were hard to hide.

They seemed as if they hadnt eaten for several days.

Their tattered animal skin clothes and severely damaged weapons confirmed their desperate situation.

Considering what the two urinating Half-Orc warriors had said earlier, Irona probably wasnt lying.

However, Ji Chens purpose wasnt to demand compensation of such a small scale.

No, no, no. You possess something very valuable, Ji Chen said.

Something very valuable? Irona became puzzled, looking at the Half-Orc warriors who even made their own wolf-toothed clubs. She couldnt figure out what they had that could attract the humans attention.

Until Ji Chen pointed at her and the other Half-Orcs.

Irona first froze, then anger surged on her face.. Sir, are you implying that youre a slave-catching party?
