I thrived in the primitive tribe

The great shaman turned to look at Lu Yao and said, recalling the events.

“I grew up in this tribe. Our tribe was established during my grandfather’s time. You probably don’t know this, but although we Tyrannosaurus Rex are very powerful in our beast form, our human form is not particularly strong. Moreover, once we transform into our beast form, we need to hunt more prey to meet our body’s needs, otherwise we will become very weak.”

Is this true for everyone, or only for Tyrannosaurus Rex?

"The same applies to everyone; the larger and stronger the beast form, the more serious the problem becomes."

"That is why ah?"

"Perhaps it was to achieve some kind of balance by the Beast God. Otherwise, if everyone turned into beast form, how would the weaker races survive?"

"Does that mean everyone can transform into beast form?"

"Actually, my master, who was the previous generation's great shaman, once told me that not everyone can transform into beast form, and this phenomenon is becoming more and more common."

It is said that all the first generation of orcs could transform into beast form. At that time, everyone respected strength. Whoever had the strongest beast form had the most say. Then, the various races constantly clashed and devoured each other.

After years of continuous battles, many races were wiped out. Later, the Beast God discovered this and imposed restrictions on beast-form transformation.

Do beast gods really exist?

"It's said to exist, but no one has ever seen it."

"What happens after that?"

"Later, everyone discovered that every time they transformed into beast form, if they didn't eat more prey, their bodies would become very weak even after they transformed back into human form. So people stopped being so keen on transforming into beast form and basically lived in human form."

"Then wouldn't hunting more animals solve the problem? How could it have such a big impact?"

"Legend has it that at the beginning, some tribes thought the same way, but later none of them could turn back into human form. They gradually became like ordinary wild beasts. Everyone said that this was because they had hunted too many prey, and the beast god was angry."

"is this real?"

"It is impossible to verify whether it is true or not. Someone tried it later, but after a while, the person disappeared. No one knows where he went or whether he really turned into a beast. Therefore, no one did it to verify something that is so vague."

"I see. Then what do you mean by not everyone can transform into beast form?"

"Well, I don't know when it started, but there's been a group of people in the tribe who just can't get into the differentiation stage, and over time they can only live in human form."

Are there many people like that?

"I've heard my master mention this before. It seems that more and more people are unable to enter the differentiation stage now and are transforming into beast forms. I don't know why."

"Great Shaman, how did your master know?"

“Before joining the tribe, my master traveled extensively and visited many places. He knows many things that we don’t.”

Wow, he's that good!

"Yeah."

"Then why did he join our tribe instead of continuing his travels?"

"This driver didn't tell me, maybe he's tired from wandering around? Why are you asking so many questions? Kids shouldn't ask so many questions."

"Then please tell us more about our tribe."

"It is said that when our tribe was first established, there were only a few people. Later, it gradually grew and eventually reached its current size."

"Are all the orcs in our tribe Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

"No, that's not it. The previous leader believed that since we are all orcs, we should cooperate with each other and not engage in any racial discrimination, so he took in many races that wanted to join."

"What animal forms do people in our tribe take?"

"You'll understand when you see it for yourself."

Are there any people in our tribe who cannot enter the differentiation stage?

"Yes, I have"

What happens if we fail to enter the differentiation phase?

"Lifespan will increase. Orcs like me, who are usually only around 40 years old, will not be able to enter the differentiation stage. If they are not eaten by wild beasts, they will live a little longer. However, our combat strength is not good. If there are no strong orcs in the tribe, we will either starve to death or be killed by wild beasts."

"I see. Then..."

"Why do you ask so many questions? The chief and the others are back, aren't you going to go see what they hunted today?"

Seeing the Great Shaman's impatient look, Lu Yao knew that this was all she could learn for today. She thought she would ask the Great Shaman to tell her more later if she had the chance. She decided to go and see if the chief had found the kind of clay she had mentioned.

"I'm going to the square now, does the Great Shaman want to come along?"

"I'll go later."
