Chapter 433 - 432, Departure_1
At the same time, the Monte Tribe in another direction also made the same choice.
"Chieftain, this time there are so few tribesmen coming, won’t we lose out in the trading competition with other tribes?"
The tribal chief of the Monte Tribe, Meng Tai’s father Meng Zhuo, shook his head: "They’ll be just like us. Beast God Mountain is so cold. It won’t just be our side. Other continents will be the same. Assign the healthier Orcs to protect the injured Winged Orcs, take good care of them. As long as they can survive, even if they lose their wings, they are still warriors in our tribe."
The middle-aged Orc beside him wiped his tears, choked up and nodded, "rest assured, I will personally look after them."
Meng Zhuo nodded, "Go, tell the tribe to quickly gather their belongings, eat and rest early. We set out for the Divine Wood Tree’s territory tomorrow morning."
The middle-aged Orc nodded and left.
Meng Zhuo sighed towards the direction of Eneru Mountain, muttering, "I wonder how that brat Meng Tai is doing?"
The sunshine on Beast God Mountain is very weak. It hardly emits any warmth as it pierces through the thick layers of clouds. Ji Nuan, waking up in Xiu Yan’s arms, immediately groped for the bamboo tube and took a small sip of the Fire Seed Potion.
The warmth surged instantaneously throughout her body, extremely comfortable.
"Awake?" A deep magnetic voice rang in her ear. Ji Nuan lifted her head and saw Xiu Yan propped up on one arm, looking at her.
Ji Nuan steadied her heart, quietly wiped her mouth corner, swearing at herself inwardly. She had heard about people being so handsome they woke others up. Was she awoken by Xiu Yan’s handsomeness?
Amused by Ji Nuan’s action, Xiu Yan sat up, "Now that you’re awake, freshen up and eat some breakfast. We will set off soon."
Ji Nuan nodded, ruffled her messy hair, took her toiletries, rinsed her mouth simply with salt water, washed her face, fixed her hair, and then drank warm water and ate three pieces of dried meat.
The Orcs had already packed up. A little after daybreak, everyone set out towards the center of Beast God Mountain.
Another day of dull traveling life. Orcs dashed wildly ahead while Ji Nuan, covered in a thick Beast Skin, enjoyed a sweet sleep. In her arms were a small furry ball and a little black snake, Ya Li, both snoring beautifully.
Listening to the three varying snores from behind him, Xiu Yan was almost mad with irritation. It was okay for the girl cub to sleep on his back but how could the other two snore louder than her?
Chief Ge Xing passed by, his eyes gleaming with schadenfreude, not trying to hide it.
"Everyone, just make do with some dried meat for lunch. Put it in your mouth and chew, chew, chew. The team keeps advancing, no stop." The loud voice of the bear-sized man reached the ears of every Orc in the team.
Even Ji Nuan, in her drowsy state, managed to grope a few pieces of dried meat from her backpack. She stuffed one piece to the hard-running Silver Wolf Orc ahead, another into her mouth, and another into the mouths of the little furry ball and the little black snake in her arms.
When she sat up to observe the surroundings, all she could see were unknown trees towering amidst white snow everywhere. She couldn’t discern what species they were. Occasionally, some small animals would fleet across the forest, hard to make out properly.
