Chapter 413 - 412, No Carry-on _1
"We’ll bring it back for further research." She grinned.
As the two Orcs returned to the gathering place, the Orcs around them distanced themselves from Ji Nuan in fear. Ya Li looked at the bottle and the two large leaf packages in Ji Nuan’s arms. "What’s the deal, Ji Nuan? What are you doing bringing this stuff back? It’s basically our nemesis as Orcs."
Ji Nuan shot him a glare. "I’m keeping it in my own basket, not like I’m gonna douse you with it."
Ya Li glanced at the snake slough gloves she wore, his face full of resentment. You’re shaming me, the provider of the snake slough, while wearing the gloves made out of it?
Xiu Yan coldly gazed at the resentful Ya Li. You’ve taken my pregnancy fruit and still claim the snake slough is yours? You have less beastly shame than I do!
Ji Nuan didn’t see the glaring between the two Orcs. She carefully placed the objects in her own basket, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Carefully removing the snake slough gloves and wrapping them in a large leaf, these gloves had come into contact with the fire seed fruit, she shouldn’t touch them again.
"Shaman Ji Nuan." Meng Tai’s voice sounded from behind, and all the Orcs, including Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan, turned to look at him.
Meng Tai didn’t look pleased. Ji Nuan asked in surprise, "What’s wrong? Did something bad happen?"
Meng Tai looked at her basket, "Are you planning to keep carrying these fire seed fruits around?"
Ji Nuan smiled, "Yes, it’s the first time I’ve seen such magical fruit, I want to see if it has other uses."
Meng Tai sighed, "Here, it’s fine for you to carry them. But when going to Beast God Mountain, you have to leave everything related to the fire seed fruit at the bottom. You can’t take them up."
Ji Nuan was taken aback, quickly looking at Meng Tai, "Why? Will it put us in danger?"
Meng Tai shook his head, "You wouldn’t know, the fire seed fruit is actually a plant banished by Beast God Mountain. The Divine Wood Tree people prefer the cold environment of Beast God Mountain, but the fire seed fruit brings intense heat, which they dislike, so they threw all the fire seed fruit off the mountain."
He pointed in the direction of Beast God Mountain, "And also decided to prohibit all Orcs from bringing fire seed fruit to the grand trade meeting. Otherwise, the trading rights of that tribe would be taken away."
Ji Nuan nodded, so that’s how it is?
She then smiled, "Don’t worry, if it’s a rule set by the Divine Wood Tree people, I won’t violate it. I’ll put away these things when we arrive at the base of Beast God Mountain. I won’t take them up."
Meng Tai’s face softened a bit; after all, the Orcs of the Watson Tribe were participating in the grand trade meeting under his tribe’s name, he didn’t want to lose eligibility over the fire seed fruit.
Ge Xing also came over and said, "Don’t worry, we won’t cause any trouble for the Monte Tribe."
Meng Tai smiled, "I was just worried Shaman Ji Nuan did not know about this; it could cost all four of our tribes the chance to participate in the trade meeting."
Despite agreeing readily, Ji Nuan had her own hidden agenda. She was intent on taking some juice from the fire seed fruit up the mountain.
From Meng Tai’s earlier explanation, she guessed something. If her assumption were true, it might bring substantial benefits to the Watson Tribe.
