Chapter 497 - 496, Just in Case_1
Mu Chun and the other Tree-People of the Divine Wood Tree Tribe tearfully nodded their heads. There was no room to oppose the decision made by the elder clan leader.
The elder clan leader nodded gratefully, turning to walk toward the settlement.
However, before he could take a few steps, the cries of surprise from the Orcs drew the attention of the Divine Wood Tree Tribe.
"What’s happened?"
The Orcs around him were still shouting in astonishment, pointing towards the center of the Ice Vines, as if screaming something.
The elder clan leader and the members of the Divine Wood Tree Tribe followed the direction pointed by the Orcs, and after quite some time, they finally spotted some faint shadows amidst the dense Ice Vines.
The eyesight of the Tree-People was not as good as the Orcs, hence from such a distance, they could only see a blurred shadow.
The elder leader patted the Orc who was gasping for breath with a red face: "What has happened that got you so excited? What blurry thing is that?"
The Orc cried out loudly: "That’s not a thing. It’s the Shaman from the Watson Tribe and the Orcs, they’ve rescued Meng Tai from the Monte Tribe along with a few Orcs. Also, the Ice Vines that were clinging to Meng Tai and the others are no longer attacking them, just like when they encountered the Orcs from the Watson Tribe."
Soon after the Ork finished, Ji Nuan and others had already left the area of the Ice Vines and arrived outside of the settlement.
Seeing Meng Zhuo with an exhausted face and red eyes, Meng Tai rushed to give his father a big hug, "Father, we are still alive."
Meng Zhuo nodded with a choked voice, patting Meng Tai’s solid back with his fan-like palm, "It’s fine as long as we are alive, it’s fine."
The elder clan leader also walked over with his people and laughed, "Shaman Ji Nuan, my old bones were ready to risk my life to go in and save you. I didn’t expect... Haha, you are really amazing!"
Ji Nuan smiled, "It’s nothing. I just happened to have some powdered medicine that can restrain these Ice Vines. Okay enough, since it’s all over anyhow, we should go back and let everyone get some rest."
However, the elder clan leader stopped Ji Nuan, "Shaman Ji Nuan, do you know how to drive these Ice Vines away?"
Ji Nuan shook her head, "Elder clan leader, you flatter me. I can only prevent the Ice Vines from attacking us. I really don’t know how to command them."
The elder tribe leader sighed, "This is really difficult."
Ji Nuan was curious, "The Divine Wood Tree Tribe has been surviving on Beast God Mountain for so many years. I see no Ice Vines in your tribe’s territory. Don’t you have any preventive measures?"
The elder clan leader said with a bitter smile, "How I wish we did. In reality, once the Ice Vines take root somewhere, they won’t spread out anymore. Without any accident, they will just grow in that one place. Now that they have been brought here, the places they have passed through are likely to be littered with countless ice vine spores."
Only then did Ji Nuan realize, life doesn’t seem easy even for the seemingly powerful and proud Divine Wood Tree Tribe, constantly facing the threats of dangerous creatures.
She turned to get a few Ice Vine segments from her tribespeople, "This is part of the Ice Vines after they died. Carrying these segments on our bodies keeps the Ice Vines from attacking us.
Considering the danger of the Ice Vines, you should instruct your tribespeople to carry these Ice Vine segments with them at all times just to be safe."
