Chapter 2182 Orc Curse Chapter 44
The Orcish territory is extremely vast, occupying almost a third of the entire map surface; even the Giant Kingdom Alliance, which has the largest territory, cannot compare to the Orcs.

The vast land was divided among various tribes, but the division was not based on tribes or clans, but rather on functional divisions.

Carnivorous orcs need hunting grounds, while herbivorous orcs need gathering grounds. Their needs overlap, and to some extent, they can benefit each other.

The Gianthoof Tribe, also known as the Stolther Clan, is one of the four major tribes in the orcish region. It is equivalent to the alliance between the Holy Cross Church and the Giant Kingdom in the human region. It is the only herbivorous orc among the four major tribes and is second only to the Sandrak Clan, which is directly under the Great Beast God. It is extremely powerful.

Being vegetarian does not mean being weak. On the contrary, vegetarians are generally much stronger and more physically larger than meat-eaters. Herbivorous beastmen are on average a size larger than carnivorous beastmen.

This brings us to the core logic of biological evolution: survival strategies determine physical structure, rather than simply diet determining strength.

For herbivorous creatures, strength is essential for their survival, and the energy source, namely food and lifestyle, supports their evolution of such a body.

Herbivores' primary task is to survive, and their core evolutionary strategy has become absolute defense. When facing predators, immense strength means a large, intimidating physique, and a successful charge, spike, or trampling can be enough to severely injure or even kill the predator in a fatal counterattack.

Their strength is the ultimate weapon for survival.

For carnivores, the primary task is to obtain food, and to this end, they have evolved a comprehensive hunting toolkit. Strength is only one part of it, and usually not the most important part. More importantly, it is about the speed and agility to catch up with the prey, and the explosive power to subdue the prey in a short time.

Depending on their size, they also possess deadly weapons such as sharp teeth and claws, which are used for lurking and skillful maneuvering to approach their prey and for precisely locking their throats or tearing their vital organs.

In addition, there is the use of muscles. Herbivores need to stand, walk, migrate, and chew rough plants for long periods of time. This requires them to have strong endurance muscles and a supportive skeletal structure.

Elephants, giraffes, and rhinos possess extremely strong necks and limbs to support their enormous weight and carry out daily activities. They even have massive digestive organs to support their robust bodies.

Carnivorous muscles are dominated by "white muscle fibers," which are good at short-duration, high-intensity bursts of power, but are prone to fatigue. A successful hunt usually ends in just a few minutes or even seconds.

To use an analogy, herbivores are like a heavy tank, pursuing armor (defense) and the power of the main gun (counterattack power); while carnivores are like a high-performance sports car or special assault vehicle, pursuing speed, mobility and a precise weapon system.

In summary, herbivores possess a kind of simple, unpretentious aesthetic appeal, like saying, "I'm a farmer."

In the same ecosystem, the number and size of carnivores are usually not comparable to those of herbivores.

The Fairy Kingdom enthusiasts, led by Beast King Lottie Sandrak, headed to the Gianthoof tribe. Logically speaking, in this orcish region without a teleportation tower network, and still on the border of the orcish region, it would take quite a while to reach the Gianthoof clan deep within the orcish region.

But Lottie Sandrak, the Beast Queen, displayed her astonishing mobility, pulling a small cart filled with more than a dozen people at breakneck speed, traversing various environments with sparks and lightning, and arriving at her destination in just a few minutes—a huge, primitive-style complex that could be seen in the distance.

"Ugh, that's too intense, ugh!"

Dali Feizhuan, supporting himself on the cart, kept retching, while the others were pale and swaying unsteadily, unable to even stand.

Some of them could outrun Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, but running this fast on your own and being dragged along are two completely different things.

In terms of speed alone, Beast Queen Lottie Sandrak couldn't match the speed of the superior ostriches they had ridden, but her stamina was astonishing, maintaining a steady pace throughout. "There's nothing surprising about that. Isn't there a man among you humans who can catch up with the sun?"

"The man who caught up with the sun?" Dali Feizhuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized who that person was.

"Oh, pink bunny."

"What?! How could it be such a ridiculous name? It doesn't sound powerful at all!"

This is the first time since Lottie Sandrak, the Beastmaster, appeared that she has failed to maintain her aloof demeanor.

"Are you only shocked now? All of us..." Dali Feizhuan pointed around, and every single one of them had a normal name, and some even used puns to be lewd.

"How am I supposed to know your names if you don't give them?"

Dali Feizhuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was indeed only natural.

"Isn't there an authentication certificate?"

“Appraising someone is quite impolite, it’s a threatening probing.” Beastmaster Lottie Sandrak frowned. “Does that mean it’s permissible to appraise others so casually among humans?”

"Should...can't."

Now I understand why players' initial world reputation is so low; it's because of player habits.

When the server first opened, players would identify any dog ​​they encountered, no matter what kind of player it was. In order to find special NPCs, they were practically conducting a census of every household. How could the cost not be high?
It was only now that Dali Feizhuan realized why the NPCs who had a good relationship with him would frown and show displeasure the moment they saw him.

He thought it was just a persona, but it turns out it was because he habitually checked it out. If that's the case, then isn't the act of "checking" just like peeking inside someone's clothes on the street?
"I said that no matter what mission I do, I always have to face such a thick wall of the heart!"

Pandi the thief broke out in a cold sweat. When the Beast King Lottie Sandrak appeared, she subconsciously appraised her, but she only identified the name and level, without identifying any other details.

Fortunately, the person on the other end was the vicious and ruthless Muta, otherwise it would have been useless for her to shout out the safe word.

"Um, sorry."

“No, in battle and unexpected situations, identification is a prudent act,” Beastmaster Lottie Sandrak shook her head, unconcerned, and emphasized.

"But once we enter the Giant Hoof Tribe, please do not appraise anything casually. We orcs are quite sensitive about appraisals, and most of the time it will be seen as a provocation."
