Anna remained silent and their conversation was cut off, but not long after, Anna began to answer Swa's questions.

 

"Actually, humans also find it difficult to classify mutated animals. This is because animals that have the same race do not necessarily have the same organ mutations, their mutations depend on the environmental conditions in which they live in.

 

So humans classify it based on the level of danger and the number of mutated organs. Starting from the weakest mutated animals to the most dangerous ones, they are grouped into, Copper -Iron -Silver -Gold -Platinum -Mithril -Orichalcum -Adamantite.

 

Mutated animals copper tier danger has one or more mutated body organs but not more than three mutated organs.

 

They have a harmless nature and only attack to protect themselves. Therefore people make them as livestock or steeds.

 

Mutated animals iron tier danger, have 2 or 3 mutated organs. Most of them live as predators and hunt other animals. But there are also some of them that can be tamed.

 

Mutated animals silver tier danger, has three mutated body organs. They usually live a solitary life and have the same or more power as a mage with one constellation.

 

Mutated animals gold tier danger, have three or four mutated organs. They will live in the territory they control and are territorial. They had power comparable to a mage with two constellations.

 

I don't know the power of mutated animals platinum, mithril, orichalcum, or adamantite tier danger. But what is clear is that they have the power to change the shape of land with ease."

 

The orcs fell silent and praised The One who protected them. They never knew that mutated animals could be so dangerous.

 

If only there were silver or gold tier danger mutated animals that attacked them, there would certainly some be orcs killed even if Moku fought with full strength.

 

They couldn't imagine what would happen if the attack was from mutated animals platinum, mithril, orichalcum, or adamantite tier danger. It was very likely that the orc race would truly become extinct.

 

"Mige, how do orcs know if there are mutated animals around or not?" Anna asked back.

 

"Of course from the smell!" Swa jumped in before Mige could answer.

 

"Nevare, don't you smell them? Their smell is very clear, like a fishy and sour smell" Torgan asked.

 

Anna just shook her head, indicating that she didn't smell the fishy or sour smell.

 

"Maybe because your nose hasn't changed form to be like ours." Swa turned and pointed at his snub nose with two big holes.

 

"I think the change is just a matter of time, as your skin is getting greener now," Torgan hypothesized.

 

Anna shuddered at the sight of the hideous orcs' noses. She hoped her nose would never change like that.

 

Anna could still accept that her skin turned green, but if her mother-like beautiful face also changed, she would really cry for it.

 

'It's all because of that bastard!' Anna insulted Moku again in her heart.

 

"I think you're wrong Swa. Moku has the same nose as Nevare, but he still hasn't lost his orc sense of smell" Kagan gave a new opinion.

 

After evolving Moku's face changed to be more like a human than an orc. In fact, he was more handsome than all the men Anna had ever seen.

 

'Still he's an asshole!' Anna cursed in her heart again

 

"Yeah, how come?" Swa turned to look at Mige, as did Anna, Kagan, and Torgan.

 

Somehow, Mige's reputation as an all-knowing person was formed within this group.

 

Mige who felt the gazes of the four orcs, held his chin, and replied "well, I also don't know for sure, but Boku once asked the same thing to Moku who just replied 'smell has nothing to do with the shape of the nose'

 

So Nevare, there's a chance your nose won't change but you can have sense of smell like us."

 

"Really?" Anna was stunned and her eyes widened. She really wanted it to be that way.

 

"Well, like I said I don't know for su—"

 

"Hey! Don't chit-chat anymore we're about to enter Glittering Meadow!" Laya's voice sounded from above the tree branches reminding the Orcs who were busy chatting.

 

They stopped talking and became focused.

 

 

 

 

 

Home

 

 

Step by step the towering tall trees began to decrease.

 

The green grass began to rub against their feet.

 

Until their view is no longer blocked by tall trees.

 

In front of them was a wide meadow. Anna's pupils dilated, only the Wolf Slopes mountains could be seen in the distance as the boundary of this meadow.

 

She can see the sparkle from the reflection of sunlight hitting the river water that flows in the middle of this vast meadow.

 

The clouds seemed to be moving and holding hands in the blue sky,

 

and the birds danced among them.

 

"We call this place Glittering Meadow." Swa introduced Anna to the orc hunting grounds with puff chest.

 

The cool air continued to blow, parting the tall green grass until it swayed.

 

Because of the frequent hunting of orcs in this place, the population of herbivores has decreased. As a result, the grass grows tall without any predators. They grow to the height of an adult orc's shoulder.

 

Anna looked at this vast meadow with sparkling eyes.

 

"Are we going to hunt here? What animals are we going to hunt?" Anna asked and couldn't wait to run around on this beautiful meadow.

 

"We're not going to hunt here, we have to walk further down Glattering Meadow until we reach a new hunting ground.

 

As a result of the orcs who often hunted here the animal population was reduced. Moku ordered to stop hunting in this place and wait until their population returns.

 

Yesterday we found a bison colony in the thousands not too far from the new hunting ground." Once again Mige answered Anna's question.

 

"Hupp!" Laya jumped out from the top of the tree and landed smoothly beside them.

 

"Come on we have to hurry, another group is already waiting for us at the meeting place" said Laya, ran, and then disappeared among the tall grass.

 

"Nevare, let's run to see who gets to the meeting place first." Swa took a low stance and got ready to charge forward.

 

"Wait! I don't know where the meeting place is." Anna stopped the orcs who were already in a running stance.

 

The orcs glanced at each other then laughed, "Nevare you want to practice your sense of smell right? This is a good time to give it a try, the scent of an orc for the other orc is the easiest to find.

 

Maybe you don't feel it right now when there are many orcs around you, but when you're alone your nose will work and eventually find us." Mige explained.

 

"huh? really?" Anna couldn't believe it.

 

"Enough talking. I can't wait to see you eat my dust Mige!" Kagan glanced at Mige.

 

They were both young orcs who had successfully entered the second level of breathing techniques, in the group of young orcs they were both famous like Goku and Boku in the group of adult orcs. So they often competed with each other to determine who was the strongest young orc.

 

"Heh! since when did you beat me? Did you sleep so well last night that you still dreaming right now?" Mige snorted and got into a running stance.

 

It was the first time that Anna had seen Mige who was always calm become smoldering with a competitive spirit. It seemed that the title of strongest young orc was a serious matter for them.

 

"Why are you guys so serious? Isn't Moku the strongest young orc?" Torgan innocently asked.

 

The three pairs of orc eyes stared at him scornfully, "Don't group us with that monster!!"
