Chapter 1391: Chapter 1388: Departure to Black Mountain
The remaining Hunting Teams have already set off under the leadership of the Clan Leader. They need to advance in the direction of the Stone Field while organizing the medium and small tribes along the way to strengthen the number of Orcs in the team.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan decided to take the opportunity to visit the Black Mountain Tribe to see what kind of harsh environment caused them to attack someone’s territory at the first sign of the mountain collapsing.
After informing the old Shaman who stayed behind in the Tribe, they set off with their belongings. However, they did not travel from the Stone Field but returned to the edge of the Red Sea.
Honghong was lazily floating back and forth in the nearby seawater, occasionally opening its mouth to suck in a few small fish, leading a very leisurely life.
Upon hearing footsteps, its deep red eyes looked towards the direction of the forest.
Sure enough, before long, the two beasts who enslaved it appeared.
It swam over dutifully and wagged its tail in Ji Nuan’s direction, making its meaning abundantly clear.
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes at the profit-driven Ferocious Crocodile, took out a porcelain bottle from her backpack, and reluctantly poured a little onto a big leaf, which she threw into Honghong’s mouth.
Although the taste of the Beast God Fruit was very mild, Honghong was still pleased and wagged its tail as it swam over and very obligingly lay down on the beach, making it convenient for the two beasts to climb on.
The service was very attentive.
It was only after Honghong carried Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan away that a few tall Orcs emerged from the forest.
They were the same Hunting Squad that had previously gone out with Ji Nuan and the others.
The leading Orc looked at the massive Ferocious Crocodile, feared by beasts far and wide, and scratched his head dumbfoundedly, "Seems like the old Shaman was overly cautious; Shaman Ji Nuan doesn’t even need our protection."
Another Orc nodded with a twitch of his lips, "That’s right, with that Ferocious Crocodile around, who would dare mess with Shaman Ji Nuan."
The group of Orcs sighed with emotion.
"Alright, alright, there’s no need to say anything. There aren’t many Orcs in the Tribe right now; let’s head back quickly."
The leading Orc interrupted their discussion, glanced again in the direction Ji Nuan and the two beasts had left, and then led his tribesmen back.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan, hiding behind stones on the shore, exchanged glances and chuckled lightly, "Didn’t the old Shaman know about your strength? Yet he still sent Orcs to protect us. Truly a caring old Shaman."
Xiu Yan narrowed his deep eyes slightly, "He must be afraid that there are Orcs from the Black Mountain Tribe infiltrating here."
Ji Nuan thought for a moment and nodded, "That should be the case."
Then she patted Honghong’s massive head, "Let’s go too, Honghong, head to the Black Mountain Forest."
Honghong, quite displeased, wagged its tail. What was so good about that place full of mud? It disliked it the most, as it would dirty its scales.
After traveling along the Red Sea for more than two days, they finally reached the legendary Black Mountain.
But...
Looking at the endless plains before them, Ji Nuan almost wanted to howl a tune with her shrill voice.
After dismounting from Honghong’s back, the Ferocious Crocodile disdainfully swam far from land, as if it feared getting stained by something unclean, leaving Ji Nuan puzzled.
The land beneath their feet was very soft, and all of it was black soil, appearing very fertile.
The sounds of Gagabeasts and Giggle Beasts could be heard everywhere, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
