Chapter 427 - 426, The Truth_1
Before Ji Nuan could finish speaking, the frenzied vines suddenly stiffened, as if they had lost their life, and drooped down onto the ground.
The Orcs seemed very familiar with this phenomenon, collectively heaved a sigh of relief, and collapsed onto the snow, panting heavily.
A few elder Orcs swiftly ran towards the Orc that had just been entwined and cut the vines off him with stone knives, and then dragged him out.
Once they returned to the group, they said: "Remember, the first thing to do after the Ice Vine dies is to free the trapped tribesmen. Otherwise, if too much time passes, the Ice Vine will become extremely hard, and stone knives will not be able to cut through it."
The Orcs, who had just collapsed on the ground, instantly jumped up. They hung their heads like guilt-ridden dogs, obediently listening to the lessons from their elder.
The sound of footsteps came from the forest ahead. The Orcs immediately tensed and stood in front of Ji Nuan, warily watching the direction the sound came from.
"I must say, you kids surely know how to get me into trouble! Where has all your common sense gone? You annoyed such a big creature, nearly wearing us all out!"
The voice of the Clan Leader, Bearclaw, came, soothing the nerves of all the orcs.
Xiu Yan, not minding the incessant chatter beside him, tossed the black vine root in his hand over and started running towards Ji Nuan.
Although he knew that Fu Yi and Ya Li were beside the young lass, protecting her, Xiu Yan carefully checked Ji Nuan over before finally relaxing.
Looking down at the tiny furball peeking out from Ji Nuan’s coat pocket and Ya Li, he said: "Thank you."
Fu Yi, scratching her fluffy head with her cute little paws, seemed rather surprised at Xiu Yan’s unusually courteous manner.
Ya Li, her small eyes resembling black beans, rolled her eyes: "The vine was not even attacking Ji Nuan. We were the ones lucky enough to benefit from Ji Nuan’s blessing and get protection."
Xiu Yan’s gratitude seemed to dissipate instantly, and he muttered, "Take it back."
Take back what?
Haha~
Throwing away after use, what a stinky Wolf Beast.
Both creatures had innocent and adorable expressions, but in their hearts, they had fully cursed Xiu Yan.
Although they wanted to walk away, they glanced at the person they were tasked to protect.
Alright, they would continue to protect her diligently. After all, Ji Nuan was not only Xiu Yan’s future mate, but more importantly, she was their Tribe’s revered Shaman. Who else would they turn to for help if they were injured or caught a fever in the future?
All they could do was smile on the outside, while cursing in their hearts.
After hearing the events that had transpired from the Orcs, Bearclaw’s eyes lit up. He excitedly ran towards them: "Shaman Ji Nuan, I did not expect this. You have truly been blessed by Lord Beast God. The tribesmen said that the Ice Vines were incredibly gentle when they saw you. They gently brushed past you without harming you, is this true?"
Ji Nuan looked at the group of Orcs nearby, and was almost blinded by the admiration in their eyes. She awkwardly smiled and said: "This isn’t the protection of Lord Beast God. It just happened that I have something on me that can prevent the Ice Vines from attacking me."
She held up a part of the Ice Vine in her hand: "This is the reason why the Ice Vine didn’t attack me just now."
Bearclaw was stunned: "This... Isn’t this the piece of dead Ice Vine I gave you just now?"
