Chapter 646 - 645, Purpose _1
With a glance at the still bustling Nacha Tribe, Meng Zhuo was puzzled, "I wonder if Nakula was also involved in this matter."
Ji Nuan, however, laughed a little, "This matter should be directed at me."
She wrapped the remaining fruit in a large leaf and set it aside, her voice tinted with a hint of coldness.
Meng Zhuo was taken aback, "How come? This fruit was sent to our Monte Tribe."
Ji Nuan looked at him, "Didn’t you bring it to me? If I had actually eaten this fruit, your Monte Tribe would probably be in trouble."
Namila, the female, looked bold and dauntless, but harbored such malicious intentions. And why had this fruit become like this was still a mystery to Ji Nuan, as she could not detect any scent of poisonous plants on it.
"It’s a worm," a cool voice came from the side, causing Ji Nuan and Meng Zhuo to turn their heads and look at Kun.
The Orc carefully opened the large leaf that Ji Nuan had wrapped, took the sharp knife from her hand, and gently punctured a red line on the surface of the fruit.
Under the watchful gaze of Ji Nuan and Meng Zhuo, an elongated object emerged from the cut and writhed in apparent agony for a moment before suddenly going motionless.
A shiver ran down Ji Nuan’s spine, finding it utterly disgusting.
Seeing her reluctance, Kun hastily threw the cut fruit onto a large leaf and wrapped it up again.
"This red fruit from the Kunteng Mountain Forest is very delicious. Of course, not only the Orcs and females like it. These worms love it too; they even lay their larvae inside these fruits.
That’s why when we forage these red fruits, we always examine them carefully. If there’s a red line like this on the fruit, we certainly won’t pick it."
Eating the fruit infested by these worms is dreadful. If one eats a fruit with worms, they would quickly die as if they had ingested poisonous plants."
Recalling the black insides of the fruit just cut open, Ji Nuan was taken aback, "There’s no way one wouldn’t die, it was all black."
And the way the Orcs of the tribe gorge on these fruits, swallowing them whole with their large mouths, they wouldn’t have any chance to see the black inside the fruit, would they?"
"If not for you, I’m afraid I would be visiting Lord Beast God today," Meng Zhuo let out a sigh.
Ji Nuan gave him a smile, "It’s better for the Orcs of your own tribe to prepare the food. In this unfamiliar mountain forest, no one can be trusted easily."
Meng Zhuo nodded, standing up, "Then I’ll go back first to see how things are in the tribe."
Seeing his concern, Ji Nuan took out a small porcelain bottle from her little Beast Skin bag, "If any Orc has eaten the fruit, give them the potion in this bottle. A little is enough. Don’t give them too much, and then bring them to me."
Excitedly, Meng Zhuo took the porcelain bottle, thanked Ji Nuan, and then quickly headed towards his tribe.
After Meng Zhuo left, Ji Nuan, who had resolved the issue, finally turned her gaze to the Blonde Orc standing by her side, "Kun."
The Orc’s eyes were bright, "Yes?"
A peculiar light flitted through Ji Nuan’s eyes as she spoke softly, "My future mate died battling Bertel. Thus, I will not have any other mates. Are you willing to always be my Guardian Orc?"
