Chapter 445 - 444, Infection_1
Upon hearing this, Chief Meng Zhuo gave a bitter smile, "It’s not that I don’t want to intervene, but none of us are a match for this Bertel. I had a fight with him over a tribal trade dispute before, but he defeated me. Hence, the Gru Tribe is so arrogant now."
Ji Nuan pursed her lips, having forgotten that Brother Xiu Yan had ingested three Beast God Fruits while it seemed Bertel had only consumed two.
Why did she suddenly feel like she was being overconfident?
Ji Nuan broke into an uncontrollable laughter.
Meng Zhuo and a few of the tribe members exchanged confused glances. What was so funny about the situation that had Shaman Ji Nuan laughing so much?
"Alright, since we’ve managed to get rid of that annoying pest, let’s just drop the matter." Ji Nuan waved her hand dismissively.
Meng Zhuo gave a wry smile. You say that now because it’s over, but Bertel might not be as forgiving!
Xiu Yan came over and patted Ji Nuan’s head, "I will always be by your side to protect you."
Ji Nuan thought about it and nodded in agreement. Bertel didn’t really seem to be a gracious beast.
The injured orcs had not woken up yet. After checking on them, Ji Nuan stood up: "It’s still early. They should wake up by lunchtime. I will come back to change their dressings then."
She then turned to Chief Meng Zhuo, "You should assign some orcs to protect them here. Now that they’ve been rescued, not just any orc should be allowed in. Brother Xiu Yan can’t always be here."
Meng Zhuo nodded, "Yes, I will have Meng Tai personally guard this place."
As if they had a choice! There were still four winged orcs who could continue to fly once they recovered.
Ji Nuan nodded, gripping Xiu Yan’s hand as they headed toward their tent.
The events of the morning were not intentionally concealed by the beasts. In fact, the orcs of the Dashi and Bear tribes even spread the word. Within an hour, every orc in the encampment had heard about it.
Thanks to this effective publicity, Bertel, who had been buried in some unknown location, finally received his tribe’s rescue.
The tribes who had been watching the drama unfold were expecting Bertel’s furious retaliation. Yet, the Watson Tribe’s orcs remained active while the Gru Tribe was still quiet.
Shi Jie and Dashi, two Clan Leaders who loved a good spectacle, huddled together with Chief Ge Xing, whispering and occasionally emitting strange laughter, attracting the attention of the surrounding orcs.
Sitting not far from them, Ji Nuan listened to the three Clan Leaders making a mockery of Bertel — discussing the unpleasant sight of his naked buttocks being carried away, she almost believed she was having a stroke from her twitching lips.
Compared to the solemn Chief Meng Zhuo, the Clan Leaders around her were...
"Eh? What are you guys talking about?" As the conversation turned to Meng Zhuo, he arrived with a few orcs carrying hunted animals to the vacant ground in front of the Watson Tribe.
After giving Ji Nuan a courteous smile, Chief Meng Zhuo sat down beside the other three Clan Leaders. Meng Tai found some familiar orcs and began roasting the meat.
Ji Nuan took the tender roast meat from Xiu Yan. As she enjoyed her meal, she could hear a round of lewd laughter from behind her. And this time, it came from four orcs.
She turned her head in disbelief. Indeed, another head had joined the group — wasn’t that Chief Meng Zhuo?
Was the stress of managing the tribe too much? Or was lewdness contagious?
