Chapter 739 - 738, Pangolin Orc_1
The warm season is drawing to a close, and in this tail end, not only is it the time when various fruits mature, but it’s also when leaves fall. Watching the leaves continuously flutter down due to their passage, Ji Nuan’s heart is filled with tranquility. It’s incredibly beautiful.
Meanwhile, Meng Tai, who’s running ahead, is filled with anxiety, silently praying to the Beast God to protect his tribespeople, hoping those detestable Stinger Bugs haven’t attacked his tribe.
However, often, many things don’t go as hoped.
Crossing the Eneru Forest and Stone Field, they finally arrived at Lamu Forest.
After reaching the edge of the Monte Tribe, they stopped advancing.
"Let’s go and take a look," suggested Ya Li.
Ji Nuan took a small jar out of the basket on Xiu Yan’s back and gave it to the two orcs, "Catch a few Stinger Bugs if you have the opportunity."
The two orcs nodded, their skin instantly writhing and then covering in a layer of black scales, even their eyes were covered in a transparent membrane.
Watching the two fully armored Pangolin Orcs charge into the forest, Ji Nuan smacked his lips, "This is incredible."
Xiu Yan and Ya Li both made faces, "What’s so incredible about that. With that kind of armor, one swipe from us, and they’d be finished."
Ji Nuan glanced at the two childish orcs and didn’t indulge their temper, rolling his eyes, "Why don’t you two go in and swing your amazing claws around, giving those Sting Tailed Bees a shish kebab?"
The two orcs exchanged a look and promptly shut up.
As time trickled by, just as they were growing anxious from the wait, the sound of running suddenly echoed from the jungle.
From afar, two black orcs were seen running towards them.
The two orcs were very careful. They stopped at a distance to check each other, making sure they hadn’t carried any Stinger Bugs with them, before approaching.
Handing the small jar to Ji Nuan, they reported, "Shaman, we went to the Monte Tribe’s location, there were no orcs left. We found their traces in a large mountain cave."
"Did Chief Meng Zhuo lead the tribespeople into the cave?" Meng Tai asked anxiously.
The orc nodded, "Yes, we knocked on the rocks blocking the cave. Inside were Chief Meng Zhuo and the people of the Monte Tribe."
Watching Meng Tai’s anxious manner, Ji Nuan asked, "Did you find any orc corpses?"
The Pangolin Orc shook his head, "No orc corpses. All the food in the tribe was also gone, probably taken into the cave by Chief Meng Zhuo."
Ji Nuan nodded, then turned to Meng Tai, "No orc deaths, and there was time to carry food, which means they must have entered the cave before the Stinger Bugs arrived.
Now, as long as we test a powder that can kill these Stinger Bugs, you will be safe. They are actually safer hiding in the cave."
Hearing Ji Nuan’s analysis, Meng Tai finally calmed down and nodded, "That’s the only option we have now."
"Shaman, we also found other Pangolin Orcs in the forest of the Monte Tribe. They are hiding in the woods around the Monte Tribe," the Orc reported.
Ji Nuan turned to Meng Tai, "Could they be the Pangolin Orcs from your tribe?"
Meng Tai shook his head with a grim expression, "Our tribe doesn’t have any Pangolin Orcs."
