Chapter 199 Candidates 2 and 3
"I choose gray for the second spot." Ruan Mianmian's firm voice echoed throughout the entire tribe.
All eyes turned to the figure who had been called out—Grey.
He was tall and strong, with firm muscles, and exuded a powerful aura.
Recalling her experience of digging yesterday, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but nod slightly, her eyes revealing admiration.
This mission was extremely difficult, but Gray displayed unparalleled bravery.
He brandished his sharp claws, digging into the vein like a raging storm.
Despite his claws being covered in blood, with wounds so deep that bone was visible, he gritted his teeth and persevered in order to complete the mission on time, ignoring the pain.
This tenacity and perseverance moved every orc present at the time.
At this moment, Gray was sitting in the crowd, his hands wrapped in thick bandages.
When he heard the leader call out his name, he was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe it was all real.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened, and he slowly stood up with a look of astonishment on his face.
Seeing this, Gray Wolf Mist, Gray's brother, smiled with satisfaction. He patted Gray's shoulder a few times and said loudly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go forward, the leader is waiting for you!"
Urged on by the gray wolf mist, Gray came back to his senses as if waking from a dream.
He stumbled and staggered as he ran toward the leader's location.
He finally reached Kun's side, knelt down, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.
He looked up at Ruan Mianmian, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Chief. I will definitely work harder in the future." Gray's voice was slightly choked, his words filled with respect for the Chief and determination for the future.
He knew this opportunity was hard-won and understood that only by working twice as hard could he live up to the leader's trust.
"You're welcome, this is what you deserve. I hope everyone understands that as long as you contribute, the tribe and I will not forget it. Every effort will be rewarded!"
As soon as Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, a round of applause rang out in the tribe, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high.
Everyone understands that as long as they are wholeheartedly devoted to the tribe and think of the tribe's interests, the chief will not treat them unfairly.
Next, Ruan Mianmian announced the third person to be selected.
"I choose Da for third place."
As soon as Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes meeting, their faces full of confusion and bewilderment, as if trying to figure out who this beastman named "Da" really was.
However, amidst this confusion, Sen and Yu were fully aware of the situation.
They knew perfectly well that this "Da" was a young beastman in the tribe, still a child and not yet an adult, and was in a critical period of waiting to advance.
When Da heard his name mentioned, he felt a surge of disbelief.
In his simple mind, he could never have imagined that it would happen to a little orc like himself who had not yet completed his advancement!
He blinked his clear yet confused eyes, standing there motionless.
But his companions reached out and gently pushed him forward.
Urged on by his companions, Da suddenly realized as if from a dream that the leader had indeed called his name.
So, with a slight hesitation, he took a step forward and slowly walked ahead.
The orcs watched in disbelief as the thin Da walked towards them step by step.
They simply couldn't understand why their leader would choose such a seemingly weak and underage child.
You see, in the eyes of these burly, tall and mighty beastmen, Da, who had not yet reached adulthood, was just like a tender child.
Ruan Mianmian took in the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, raised her chin slightly, her expression calm as still water, and said in a low voice, "The reason I chose Da is actually very simple—the tribe needs him!"
Orcs have always been straightforward and uninhibited, never hiding their inner thoughts and doubts.
As soon as they heard Ruan Mianmian's words, they immediately started talking all at once.
A voice came from somewhere: "Chief, I don't mean to question your wise decision, but I really don't understand why you chose that little orc?"
As the question was asked, the other orcs nodded in agreement, expressing their similar confusion.
Despite the crowd's confusion, Ruan Mianmian remained calm and explained, "Da's beast form is a meerkat. These beastmen are naturally adept at digging burrows, and our tribe is currently in dire need of beastmen with earth-based abilities. In my opinion, Da is very likely to evolve and develop in the direction of earth-based abilities in the future. Therefore, giving him the spot is definitely a beneficial thing for us."
