Chapter 450 - 449, Excitement_1
Ji Nuan scratched her head awkwardly and thought to herself: who asked you guys to have so many bodies in the first place, leaving the beasts bemused and confused.
After a long roundabout walk, the group of creatures finally arrived at the center of the Divine Wood forest. A towering tree stood erect there, radiating a sense of wisdom and solemnity.
Mu Chun proudly announced, "That’s the physical form of our old Clan Leader, quite impressive, isn’t it?"
Ji Nuan nodded, "Truly miraculous."
Mu Chun chuckled and bent slightly, "Please follow me, once we go around the front, you’ll be able to see the Clan Leader’s tree house."
Ji Nuan and the beasts followed Mu Chun.
Finally, she saw the legendary tree house of the Divine Wood tribe. There wasn’t a great deal of awe given the architecture from her previous life; however, the aura of antiquity and nature the tree house exuded was comforting.
"Shaman Ji Nuan has arrived, haha, please come in and have a seat." An elderly man with a lively spirit and kind face greeted them while stroking his beard at the tree house entrance.
Ji Nuan stepped forward to greet the old man with a bow, "Greetings Clan Leader, my name is Ji Nuan."
She turned and gestured towards the two Orcs behind her, "These are two members of my tribe."
The elderly clan leader nodded and stepped aside, "Please enter, let’s discuss inside."
Once they were settled inside the tree house, Ji Nuan was basked in the gaze of the tree people sitting across her.
Feeling awkward, Ji Nuan chuckled to lighten the mood and turned to pull out a small leaf pouch, "This is the medicine that can treat the Orcs’ parasites. I wonder which one of your tribe will test it."
A middle-aged tree-person stood up and bowed to Ji Nuan, "I will try the medicine."
Observing him for a while, Ji Nuan commented, "Your complexion doesn’t seem particularly out of the ordinary, it’s probably not too serious."
The middle-aged-tree-person nodded, "Yes, I would say my case is moderate."
Ji Nuan handed over the medicine pouch and warned, "The medicine that works for Orcs might not work for Tree People, and it could potentially stimulate the parasites inside you, which might cause some pain."
The middle-aged-tree-person laughed it off, "A little suffering is trivial if it could help us find a cure for the parasite disease."
After saying this, he opened the medicine pouch and poured the powder into his mouth. Mu Chun handed over a leaf of water, the tree person swallowed it down, and calmly sat on the ground at the center of the tree house, "I’ll wait right here. If anything unexpected happens, there’s plenty of space."
Ji Nuan gave a small smile. These Divine Wood people sure were open-minded.
Looking at the venerable clan leader at the head of the room, she asked, "The parasites inside Orcs are white worms; what about those inside Tree People?"
The Clan Leader’s face slightly changed, "The worms inside Tree People are black."
Ji Nuan nodded, "We hope now that even if this medicine doesn’t work, it won’t stimulate these kinds of worms inside the Tree People."
The Clan Leader nodded, it was exactly his concern as well.
In the middle of the conversation, the Tree Person sitting in the center of the tree house suddenly shrieked in agony, fell down and began convulsing, continuously wailing pitifully.
Ji Nuan quickly stepped forward. She had already prepared the Sharp Tooth Grass Powder, and scooped some into the Tree Person’s mouth using a wooden spoon.
However, this medicine that could put the Orcs into sleep instantly seemed useless today. The middle-aged tree person was still wailing and rolling in agony.
