Chapter 511 - 510: Disaster_1
After giving some necessary instructions, Ji Nuan returned to the tent amidst the appreciation of the orcs and the urging of Xiu Yan. After finishing breakfast, she prepared to venture into the forest.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, are you leaving already?" Xiong Da hurriedly came over from afar.
Ji Nuan nodded: "Yes, the sooner we handle things, the sooner we can return to the tribe."
Xiong Da gestured, and an orc brought over a small basket: "This is the nest of Buzzing Insects that I brought back with the orcs this morning. You can take them, Shaman Ji Nuan."
Ji Nuan frowned: "Why are you looking for the nests of the Buzzing Insects at this time, did any orc get injured?"
Xiong Da chuckled: "No, no, we used the method you taught us. This is the third nest of Buzzing Insects we’ve got this year, and we won’t get it any more."
Ji Nuan nodded: "Alright, I’ll take them. If we discover anything, I will send an orc to inform the Gray Bear and Dashi Tribes."
Xiong Da’s eyes lit up and he grinned broadly, nodding his head.
After leaving the Gray Bear Tribe, Ji Nuan and the orcs of the Watson Tribe headed for the forest within the territory of the Dashi Tribe.
At noon, the orcs found a slightly open space to stop for lunch.
"Huh? How is there a small river here?" Bosson dipped his claw into the river water. The chilly touch made him shiver: "Tsk! This water is too cold!"
Ji Nuan walked over curiously: "That’s right! We came here during the major trade fair, but there was no river?"
After saying this, she reached out her fingers to touch the clear river water, then retracted her fingers in surprise: "It really is cold. How could this be?"
The orcs tried one by one out of curiosity. Unlike the Western rivers they were used to in the forest, the coldness of this water reminded the orcs of their time on Beast God Mountain.
Ji Nuan looked upstream. The winding river stretched all the way into the depth of the forest, and they could not see its end.
"It seems we need to go and see where this river originates from. We might be able to find out why the forest’s prey has been restless," said Ji Nuan.
She just hoped it wasn’t a major disaster...
At the end of this forest stood the Eneru Mountain Range—a towering mountain range covered by ice and snow all year round.
It took Ji Nuan and the orcs a total of 8 days to follow the river and finally reach the foot of the Eneru Mountain Range that was perennially covered in snow.
The Eneru Mountain Range they saw was vastly different from what they had seen during the major trade fair.
Green was spreading at the base of the once-ice-covered range. Ice and snow on the mountain were constantly collapsing, rolling down to the foot of the mountain, melting there and then flowing into the river that ran downstream.
Ji Nuan and the orcs were dumbfounded: "What... What happened to the Eneru Mountain Range?"
"The ice and snow on Eneru Mountain Range are melting."
Ji Nuan’s expression was extremely solemn. This was not something that any orc or any tribe could have caused. It seemed that her speculation was correct. Some disaster was about to befall the Eneru Mountain Range.
"Nuannuan, can you tell what it is?" Xiu Yan asked, looking at Ji Nuan whose face had changed dramatically.
Ji Nuan solemnly nodded: "It seems a terrible disaster is about to happen."
The orcs were shocked: "Disaster? Is it scarier than last year’s winter?"
Ji Nuan nodded: "Yes, a disaster scarier than winter. It could be a mountain collapse, a large crack forming in the ground, or even hot magma erupting from the mountain, burning everything."
