Chapter 818 - 817: Let Him Go
Thinking about the soul-stirring smell of the Green Bull Beast’s feces, the orc’s face instantly turned green.
"Be more careful next time, if you let the prey escape again, go clean up the Green Bull Beast’s feces." Unlike his usual cold demeanor, today Captain Xiu Yan was not only very lenient, but his voice was also particularly gentle, devoid of his usual iciness.
The orc was taken aback by Captain Xiu Yan’s rare gentleness, then burst into a kind of ecstatic relief, "Hehe, got it, there definitely won’t be a next time."
Invigorated by the promise of his little female agreeing to mate with him, Captain Xiu Yan’s mood was especially beautiful today. He just glanced at the escaping prey, and waved his hand, "Let’s go."
He then led a group of orcs in another direction, as the recent fierce battle had made the surrounding prey wary, no longer suitable for continued hunting.
"Captain Xiu Yan, are we now heading toward the jungle by the Eneru River?" Bosson asked, recognizing the direction.
Captain Xiu Yan hummed in affirmation, "Shaman Ji Nuan needs a herb that only grows near the Eneru River."
The orcs nodded upon hearing this, each looking suddenly enlightened as they followed Captain Xiu Yan toward the Eneru River bank.
At the back of the hunting team, an orc’s eyes flickered with wild joy upon hearing this. He had been thinking about how to escape, and it turned out that Shaman Ji Nuan needed to collect a herb that only grew by the river—it was perfect.
"What are you thinking about, looking so happy?" Brother Ya Li approached the jovial orc, curious, "What good things are on your mind? You seem very happy."
The orc panicked inside but still maintained a smile on his face, "Isn’t it because I’ve got my own house now, hehe."
After saying that, he even naively scratched his head.
Brother Ya Li’s eyes twinkled, and he happily patted the orc’s shoulder, "Not just you, I was so happy last night I couldn’t sleep at all. The weather isn’t cold yet, but when the cold season arrives, we can learn to build fires from the elders, sleep on a warm kang, and eat warm food. No worries then about the females and young ones getting sick."
Listening to Brother Ya Li’s description, the orc’s eyes also filled with deep longing.
However, thinking of his family still in the tribe, the orc’s wavering heart steadied once again; he had family back home, and couldn’t just stay in the Watson Tribe.
Despite such a severe disaster occurring, the Eneru River still roared as it surged into the distance.
Captain Xiu Yan bent down and pulled some grasslike herbs from the ground, "This herb, spread out and gather it around, the more the better."
Afterwards, he didn’t bother with the orcs anymore, carrying a basket and walking away.
Seeing this, the orcs also dispersed, each gathering in a different area.
The Crocodile Orc was overjoyed; with this, couldn’t he escape anytime he wanted?
"Do you recognize this herb? Want me to help you gather it?" While he was pleased inwardly, Brother Ya Li’s voice suddenly came from beside him.
The orc paused, pulled a herb from his backpack and smiled, "This is fine, I’ll take this and look for the same ones to gather. Let’s see who collects more in a bit."
Brother Ya Li laughed and ran off to the side, "Then I’d better find a good spot; can’t let you beat me."
