Chapter 545 - 544, Separation_1
Shaman Meng Luo personally carried the body of the orc while the remaining few orcs took the beasts they had killed back to the tribe.
The tribe members had no time to rejoice over the abundance of food before news of the orc’s death silenced them. Although the recent disaster had resulted in many losses, their grief didn’t become numb.
It was the first time for Ji Nuan to witness a funeral ceremony in the Beast World Continent. The body of the orc was cleaned, clothed in new beast skins, with Shaman Meng Luo personally wrapping it in large leaves. Several other orcs helped place the body into a deep pit in the ground.
"You have gone to Lord Beast God, your body is dedicated to the Lamu Forest that nurtured you."
Watching as the tribe formed a long line, each person sprinkling a handful of dirt into the pit. It was said that each handful of dirt was the tribe’s blessing to their deceased member.
Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan, and Ya Li all joined in sending their blessings to the orc, even their kitten used its little paw to scrape a bit of soil into the pit.
...
The tribe was as bustling as ever the next day, with females gathering within safe boundaries of the tribe and the orcs forming teams to hunt. Even Shaman Meng Luo, who was grief-stricken just the day before, was now cheerfully helping treat the orcs.
Ji Nuan sat on a beast skin cushion watching Shaman Meng Luo busy at work in the distance, she murmured, "He got over it so quickly?"
A cold, magnetic voice replied beside her, "He has gone to Lord Beast God, to a better world. When Shaman Meng Luo joins Lord Beast God, they will meet again. Why should they be sad?"
Ji Nuan looked at him wide-eyed, "But they looked so sad yesterday!"
Xiu Yan gently patted her head, "Partings are always sad because it will be a long time before they see each other again."
With this explanation, the heaviness in Ji Nuan’s heart seemed to lighten instantly. Yes, they are treating death as a long separation.
"Shaman Ji Nuan! Shaman Ji Nuan!" An anxious call came from the front, dragging Ji Nuan’s thoughts back to reality.
She lifted her head towards the source of the voice, it was an unfamiliar orc, "Who are you? What’s the matter?"
The orc wiped the sweat from his forehead, "An orc in our tribe has a bone injury, Shaman Meng Luo asked me to come to you."
Upon hearing it was a matter of healing, Ji Nuan quickly stood up, "Let’s go quickly."
As she finished her sentence, she was already heading towards the tent where Shaman Meng Luo was.
Xiu Yan watched the orc with deep, drawn eyes, an edge of chill present. He then hurried his steps to catch up with Ji Nuan.
Watching their departing figures, the orc sweats even more profusely. His legs wobbled at the thought of what he was doing, which may lead to the death of a Shaman. He wondered whether Lord Beast God would punish him.
With such thoughts, he had no time to feel weak, he hurried onward, following the direction of Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan.
In the tent, a grey-haired orc was lying on the beast skin mat in agonizing pain. His leg was in a gruesome state, with the bone clearly visible. It seemed quite severe.
However, Ji Nuan had treated even more horrific injuries before. In no time, she had bandaged his bones and wounds.
The gray-haired orc looked on in shock.
