Chapter 425 - 424, Got into Trouble_1
"Brother Xiu Yan, why are you flying so fast? Is there any delicious food up there?" Bosson hopped down from the carrying basket on Ying Yan’s chest, shaking off the snowflakes on his body.
Ji Nuan smiled, "I was feeling a bit cold, so Brother Xiu Yan wanted to fly up faster."
Bosson cornered his mouth, well, he couldn’t refute this reason.
Dashi and the Flying Orcs of Gray Bear Tribe carried a few more Orcs up, then sat down at the top of the cliff to rest, looking a bit tired. Ji Nuan looked worriedly at Ying Yan, whose arms and back had turned purple from overexertion, fearing that they would get frostbite or injury from overstraining themselves.
"Clan Leader, we’ve caught a Snow Beast!" The Orcs’ shout came from the snow forest not far away, and the Clan Leader of the Gray Bear Tribe was filled with surprise.
Ever since they arrived at the Eneru Mountain range a few days ago, they had been eating jerky without any fresh prey.
The shapes of a few Orcs in the distance got closer and closer, but the Clan Leader’s face suddenly changed to grimace after they approached. He scolded harshly, "Didn’t I say that they should bring them back only on the condition that they don’t hurt them?"
Facing the sudden wrath of the Clan Leader, several young Orcs were somewhat at a loss, standing there stupidly.
A few older Orcs behind the Clan Leader hurriedly stepped forward, took the still bleeding prey from their hands, and buried it in the snow.
An Orc took off the Beast Skin from the bodies of the young ones and urgently said, "Quickly, wash off the blood stains on your bodies with snow water, hurry up!"
Looking at their series of actions, Ji Nuan was somewhat puzzled.
The Orc guarding the edge of the forest suddenly turned pale and ran this way, "Prepare for battle, the Ice Vines are coming."
With the fall of the Orc’s shout, Ji Nuan finally saw the blue-green plants rapidly approaching the group. Each vine was as thick as an Orc’s leg, and the leaves were a deep blue, extremely beautiful.
The blue-green Ice Vines surged towards them, taking the lead was one that directly lifted up the place where the prey had just been buried, wrapped up the Dead Snow Beast’s body, and then quickly retreated like it had completed its task.
The remaining vines swarmed towards the surrounding Orcs, and the ones that were taken care of the most by these Ice Vines, were of course the young Orcs who still had blood on their bodies.
"You stay here and hold back these Ice Vines," the Clan Leader commanded the Orcs of the Gray Bear Tribe.
Then turned to Xiu Yan and his brothers, "Could you guys please help me cut off the root system of these Ice Vines, otherwise, I’m afraid all our Orcs would fall here."
Xiu Yan and others nodded in unison, "All right."
Ji Nuan stood on the side, while Fu Yi and Ya Li stayed protecting her impersonally and not moving anywhere.
Strangely, no matter how fierce the battle was around, the vines seemed not to feel Ji Nuan, even if they swept past her, they wouldn’t touch her.
It could be chalked up to coincidence once or twice, but when an Orc accidentally rolled under her feet, and the Ice Vines were still attacking the Orc and ignoring her, Ji Nuan realized, this was definitely not a coincidence.
She looked at the Orcs who were desperately resisting and had to protect her at the same time, and shouted, "You don’t need to worry about me, protect yourselves, these vines won’t attack me."
