During the two coldest months of winter, the four pregnant females in the tribe went into labor and eventually gave birth to many cubs safely.
The most rare thing is that this winter, no female cubs died giving birth, and no cubs died due to the harsh climate.
Moreover, the females also learned a lot of skills from Mingyue, which was enough to give them the confidence to win the competition in spring.
The snow melted into water, tender buds emerged from the soil, and new green leaves grew on the trees. The long winter passed, and the wild beasts migrated back from afar. The orcs could finally step out of the tribe.
The competition between males and females is finally about to begin.
This competition was proposed by Mingyue in the second month of winter, leaving both males and females enough time to prepare. Although she gave the females a lot of special treatment, she did not refuse the males from taking advantage of it.
It's a pity that except for Anachuan, the former leader of the Silver Wolf Tribe, the other males looked down on the strength of females and never took them seriously. Naturally, they never thought about studying hard.
Now that the competition is about to begin, the males are all in high spirits, as if they can't wait to regain the ground they were forced to lose in front of the females.
Anachuan, who was the most sensible and sober, had advised many warriors he knew to take this game seriously and not underestimate the females, but all he got was ridicule and contempt.
In the end, Ana Chuan could only look at the moon, his tone sad: "This time the females are going to win again. The Orc Continent is no longer a male continent."
Even though the competition hadn't started yet, he had already anticipated the outcome from watching the females learn over and over again.
Males are too arrogant. Those who are good at swimming drown in the water, and those who are good at fighting die in the fighting. They will eventually be defeated by their own arrogance.
But the warriors only thought that Anachuan was incompetent and a failure because he couldn't even keep his position as leader, so they didn't take his words seriously at all.
Females? What are females without God's help
Soon the males paid the price for their arrogance, as the females used their abilities to prove to them that they were as powerful as them, and that they were more hardworking and smarter than them.
In the first hunting competition, the females won an overwhelming victory with thirty-two more large beasts than the males.
When Mingyue announced the victory of the females, the males immediately jumped out and shouted: "I don't accept it. They all used things made by God. They didn't win by their own strength. What does this mean? We are competing with them, not with God."
Soon a male agreed: "That's right, if we had known we could use these things, we would have hunted more than them. This is unfair to us males."
"This should not be considered the power of females, nor should it be considered a victory for females. I absolutely do not agree with this game."
"Yeah, the females are so cunning..."
Mingyue struck the gong suddenly, and the crowd below instantly became quiet.
Mingyue looked at the males with sarcasm in her eyes and sneered, "I said before the game that it doesn't matter what method you use, as long as you can catch the prey. Are you saying this now because you can't afford to lose?"
Some males were still dissatisfied and murmured quietly: "But we all use our own strength to catch the beasts. What do the females think of this? If you don't have the ability, can you only take shortcuts?"
Mingyue heard it all and retorted mercilessly: "Wisdom is also a kind of strength. If you don't have it, don't talk, because it will only expose your stupidity." Seeing Mingyue defending the females like this, the males were naturally unhappy, but they did not dare to annoy her, so they could only remain silent.
However, the males have made up their minds that they must use their brains in the next two games and not lose to the females again.
And in the final analysis, the females can only take shortcuts once. The rest of the competition will depend on their strength, and they can't afford to do that again.
Mingyue had arranged three matches: the first was a hunting contest, with the winner determined by the number of prey caught. The second was a speed contest, with each side sending out ten orcs to determine the winner in a relay race. The third was a female confrontation, with each side sending out twenty orcs to defeat the other side.
In the second game, both males and females had a tacit understanding and sent out the fastest leopards.
Both sides need to run five laps around the entire Huaxia tribe in a relay race mode, and the first one to reach the destination will be the winner.
There will be orcs guarding each node along the way, who will ring the gong to represent that the contestants have arrived at that location and ensure that the contestants do not violate the rules of the competition.
The male leopards said they had no pressure at all, as speed was their strong point. What's more, the opponents were females from their own tribe, which made it even less worth mentioning.
One male leopard even boasted: "Don't worry, even if we let them lap twice, we can still easily beat them."
When the female leopards heard this, they sneered and said nothing. Anything said now would be nonsense. They would use their strength to prove that they were no worse than the males.
As the bright moon struck the gongs and drums, the relay race officially began.
The male leopard rushed out like lightning, and his shadow disappeared in almost a moment. Soon, the sound of gongs was heard at the next designated place, which meant that he had arrived at the next destination.
The female leopard was indeed slower, but in just a few breaths, she caught up and the sound of gongs and drums rang out again.
Seeing this, a male said to the female next to him proudly: "Without the help of God, is this all the strength you females have? I think you should stay in the tribe and give birth to cubs. The hunting should be left to us males!"
"Yeah, I don't know what they are competing with us for. There's no need for a competition at all!"
There is also a male science popularization: "Don't think that the females are just a little slower. If every female is a little slower, then they will fall behind a lot. In this game, the females will definitely lose."
The females were not angry and ignored what the males said.
They knew long ago that the most important thing in a relay race is to trust their teammates and balance their bodies.
After all, this is not just a one-lap run. It looks good to run fast at the beginning, but it is easy to lose momentum later on.
Sure enough, during the first three laps, the males were far ahead of the females, but during the fourth lap, the males could no longer run as their physical strength had begun to fail.
At this time, the female leopards, who had been controlling their breathing to conserve their energy, began their final sprint.
