Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 280

Only then did Jiang Luoluo breathe a sigh of relief, relax, and feel the exhaustion all over her body.

Besides being exhausted, Jiang Luoluo also suffered a lot of soreness. In the chaos of battle, she had been attacked countless times and was thrown to the ground many times, with her body scratched and bleeding from the stones on the ground.

However, it wasn't just Jiang Luoluo who was like this; everyone in the chaotic battle was the same.

Jiang Luoluo simply persisted a little longer than them, which is why she stood until the end.

However, this was not the end. Apart from the fierce melee in the very center, the intensity of the melee on the outer edges was not as brutal as in the center.

After all, the melee in the very center is for the fight for the sole "boss" position, while the other melees are just a ranking, and the difference between 10th and 11th place is not that big.

Many children, realizing their own inadequacy, quickly conceded defeat in the melee and withdrew.

Naturally, the children who conceded defeat could not continue the challenge, but because they voluntarily gave up, their opponents also preserved the most physical strength and their condition was not greatly depleted.

Even after the chaos ended, it remained in relatively intact condition.

These "winners" are qualified to continue challenging for higher positions.

In other words, if there are no other obstacles in their path, they can continue to challenge Jiang Luoluo, the ultimate winner, and take her place.

This cannot be considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune, nor is it an act of reaping the benefits.

Because in this final stage, they can challenge Jiang Luoluo, and Jiang Luoluo can accept help from her companions.

When Jiang Luoluo had completely wiped the dirt off her eyes, she saw several people approaching her.

From another direction, many other children who had experienced the chaotic battle also came and blocked Jiang Luoluo's way.

It became the first line of defense for those who wanted to challenge Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo looked over at them one by one.

The person closest to her was Bei. Although Bei arrived at Little Stone Mountain a year earlier than Jiang Luoluo, he clearly still regarded Jiang Luoluo as his boss and showed a clear intention to follow her.

The children who had been with Bei naturally stood beside her and protected Jiang Luoluo.

The grasshopper standing nearby seemed a little uneasy.

Because he was also a member of the small group, but because he did not participate in this ranking battle, he could not join in at this time.

Outside the shell are Yu and a group of Yu's friends.

You had long recognized Jiang Luoluo as her leader. As a victor in a chaotic battle, You was not much better off than Jiang Luoluo, but she stood in front of him with a domineering air, giving off an aura that said, "Although I may not be able to win, if you dare to come over, you will definitely not be safe either."

This is actually another test on Little Stone Mountain to determine the leader's position.

To become the top person, strength is paramount, but you also need the support of your companions. Only when you have enough followers who are willing to believe in your strength and protect you when you are vulnerable can you become a recognized leader.

That's right. The selection of leaders in the tribe doesn't start after the children grow up, but rather there are corresponding assessments at each stage of their growth.

For example, small groups of children under ten years old, the "boss" position on the small rocky hill, the captain of the hunting team...

It takes gradual growth to eventually become a leader.

Of course, not all children are charismatic enough to attract so many loyal followers.

There are also some children who are withdrawn and don't like socializing. They focus solely on training and improving their own abilities, and rarely socialize with other children.

Then they have to bear the cost of this isolation themselves.

For example, when Jiang Luoluo is so exhausted, she can rest peacefully under the protection of her followers. But if she has no followers, she can only force herself to overcome her fatigue and defeat all the challengers who dare to challenge her in order to ensure that her position remains stable.

While individual strength is a key factor in the competition for leadership, it is not the only one.

The reason why tribes choose strong individuals to become leaders is to enable them to lead the entire tribe to survive better. The collective is more important. No matter how strong a person is, they cannot become a leader if they are not recognized by other tribesmen and have no followers.

Having only social charm without personal ability is certainly not enough, since demonstrating leadership ability comes after one has already demonstrated personal ability.

If none of them can become the ultimate victor, they will have no chance to demonstrate just how many followers they have.

Becoming a leader is never a simple matter that can be achieved by being good at only one thing.

Besides the children who recognized Jiang Luoluo as their leader, another child who surprised everyone also stood up.

She was a dark-skinned, petite girl.

Jiang Luoluo was no stranger to her. The girl's name was Que, and she was one of the children in Yuerdong who had just turned ten this year.

Previously, Que was in charge of guarding the spoons used to hold food in the fish cave.

When Jiang Luoluo first went to Fish Cave because of the poison, the girl she saw guarding the stone pot was Que.

Before Jiang Luoluo invented the fishing line and made the telescope, there was never enough food in the Fish Cave. Most of the children could only eat three or four tenths of their full capacity and spent most of the day hungry.

Therefore, in order to prevent the children from stealing food from the stone pot when they were hungry—which was actually not food at all, just hot water with a fishy smell—someone needed to stand guard in front of the stone pot and watch the spoons used to serve the food, so as to prevent the other children from stealing it.

This isn't a matter of personality or character. After all, if someone has been starving for a long time and there's food in front of them, how much willpower and unwavering faith would it take to prevent them from stealing it?

The fact that Que was assigned such a task demonstrates her strong self-control, unwavering belief, and formidable strength.

At that time, Que and Jiang Luoluo were the same age, only 6 years old, and were assigned such a task. You should know that at that time, there were many children under the age of 10 in the cave.

If the sparrow is too weak and can't beat the other children, the spoon might be forcibly taken away by them.

Judging from their positions on site, it's clear that Que wasn't on the outermost circle, but rather in the middle, among a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children.

Born in Yuerdong, Que's physical abilities were far inferior to those of ordinary children, and she was only ten years old.

Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness and age, he was able to fight against healthier children who were several years older than him; his strength needs no further description.
