Chapter 799 - 798, Hanging on the Southeast Branch_1
"Slow down, the Orcs aren’t badly injured, but several young females have been scared badly, and they haven’t stopped crying." Xiu Yan helped Ji Nuan lift the beast skin curtain and stepped outside together.
The injured Orcs were housed in a dwelling close to the new tribe’s tent area, and it was surrounded by tribe members.
"Everyone, make way. Shaman Ji Nuan is here." Hearing that Shaman Ji Nuan had arrived, the Orcs hurriedly gave way. The young females with their loose hair and delicate, soft-looking skin were all impressive in their own right, but the aura emanating from Ji Nuan was undeniable.
As Ji Nuan was led into the room, the Orcs outside started discussing.
"With Shaman Ji Nuan here, everything will be fine. The Orcs and the cubs will be safe," a grandma reassured.
"Yes, he’s lost so much blood. I’ve been worrying. But with Shaman Ji Nuan here, there’s nothing to worry about. With Shaman Ji Nuan here, nothing will happen."
The admiration and awe towards the female Shaman filled the air, and amongst the crowd, a certain Orc had a complex look in his eyes. He’d finally seen the silver-haired Orc accompanying the Shaman. The Orc that the Clan Leader wanted.
Perhaps...
He glimpsed at the black-blue haired Orc standing guard outside the tent. This must be Ya Li. When he passed by the two earlier, he could feel the overwhelming pressure from them. If the Clan Leader ordered him to take these two back, he’d rather hang himself. A mere flick of their fingers could end him.
"Is the handsome one Ya Li? How impressive. It’s my first time seeing him up close," one Orc feigned admiration, patting another Orc’s arm.
The Orc who had been approached made a vow in front of the Beast God to become a citizen of the Watson Tribe long ago. So when he heard the praise for Ya Li, his pride was palpable. He nodded, saying, "Indeed. Our Clan Leader’s sister is Ya Li’s Amu. We are able to join the Watson tribe and live in these lovely houses because of this relationship."
The Crocodile Orc looked envious. "Really? I heard that Captain Ya Li is a first-level evolved Orc. He’s incredible."
The comment was met with dismissive looks. "Where did you hear that outdated news from? I heard from the Watson Tribe’s brothers that Captain Ya Li has already evolved to a third-level Orc. Apart from Captain Xiu Yan and the two Deputy Captains, he’s the strongest in the tribe."
"If Ya Li is that powerful, why can’t he be compared to the other Captains?" The Crocodile Orc had already begun to feel weak at hearing Ya Li’s Evolution Level, but remembering he was tasked by his Clan Leader, he plucked up his courage and asked another question, "Are Captain Xiu Yan and the other two Deputy Captains stronger than Captain Ya Li?"
A tribesman patted his arm sympathetically. "You’re definitely from a small tribe, aren’t you? The two Deputy Captains and Captain Ya Li are of the same Evolution Level. But Captain Xiu Yan, who is the mate of Shaman Ji Nuan, is rumored to have evolved to levels above five."
At this point, the Crocodile Orc almost started sobbing. Just thinking about how he and his tribesmen had managed to survive for so long on the turf of three third-level evolved Orcs and a fifth-level evolved Orc overwhelmed him with gratitude for his own luck.
