Chapter 852 - 851, Shaman Ji Nuan’s Big Day
She Wu nodded, "I went into that cave with Dubi, the one belonging to Ola. The Armored Crocodile Tribe demanded our brick and tile recipe and inquired about Xiu Yan and Ya Li; all these were instigated by Namila."
"The Armored Crocodile Tribe is really short on beast skins, so she gave them a lot, requesting that the two evolved orcs from their tribe do jobs."
Ji Nuan smacked her lips, "Namila really is trouble. Back then, we let her go because we wanted to bring more food back to the Monte Tribe. I didn’t expect her to still be hopping around."
Xiu Yan looked at the two beasts, "Aside from Namila, are there any other beasts from the Nacha Tribe?"
The two beasts shook their heads together, "No, only Namila took a few companions with her; the rest are staying in the cave prepared by Ola."
Xiu Yan nodded, "Hmm, any other discoveries?"
She Ze shook his head, "Nothing more on my end."
She Wu furrowed his brow, looking toward Xiu Yan, "I did discover something here. When Namila’s companion caused chaos in the Armored Crocodile Tribe, their shaman didn’t show up. I sneaked into the shaman’s cave; it seemed he hastily packed some stuff and headed outside the tribe. I followed him for a while and found they were heading toward Nia Forest."
"Nia Forest? What are they doing in Nia Forest?"
She Wu thought for a moment before responding, "I only heard the shaman mention going to find the chieftain, then I came back."
Xiu Yan nodded, "Alright, I got it."
She Ze and She Wu exchanged glances, "Should we leave then?"
Xiu Yan was frowning, deep in thought, when Ji Nuan smiled and nodded, "Sure, go ahead back first. You’ve been tired for several days, go and rest well."
The two beasts nodded and turned to leave.
After a while, Xiu Yan let out a breath, frowning slightly, "Chieftain, what does that mean?"
Ji Nuan picked at Xiu Yan’s beast skin garb, "Chieftain means the tribe leader."
Xiu Yan’s brows quirked slightly, "Tribe leader? So, that’s the clan leader?"
Ji Nuan nodded, "It might be different terminology, but as far as I know, all the tribe leaders on the Beast World Continent are called clan leaders."
Upon hearing this, Xiu Yan’s gaze turned sharp, "Could it be that there are some tribes we don’t know about?"
Ji Nuan also sat up, his expression turning serious, "That’s a possibility."
Humans are always curious and wary about the unknown, and orcs are no exception.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan were feeling just this.
"The cold season is about to arrive; keep this in mind. After the cold season, we will check it out, especially since the shaman from the Armored Crocodile Tribe went to Nia Forest..."
Ji Nuan narrowed his eyes, "Tomorrow is my coming-of-age priestly ritual, and once Bowman and the others arrive, we can ask."
Xiu Yan nodded, snuffed out the oil lamp on the table, and both beasts entered a sweet slumber.
The Watson Tribe too fell into quietude after a busy day, broken only occasionally by the soft footsteps of patrolling tribespeople.
Tomorrow in the Watson Tribe was bound to be a busy yet exceptionally joyful day.
As tomorrow was the respected Shaman Ji Nuan’s coming-of-age ritual and also the mating ritual for Shaman Ji Nuan and Captain Xiu Yan.
Two significant events happening on the same day, the tribespeople prepared various foods and gifts for the respected Shaman Ji Nuan.
