Chapter 866 - 865: The Chieftain’s Tribe
Suddenly called by Shaman Ji Nuan, the old shaman, Bowman, and Hei Tu were all somewhat uneasy.
Could it be that Shaman Ji Nuan no longer wanted them?
Ji Nuan pointed at the table and looked toward the old shaman and the others, "Please take a seat first, I have something very important to ask you."
Despite their confusion, they took their seats at the closest position.
Seeing their uneasy expressions, Ji Nuan smiled, "You don’t need to be nervous. I really have something to ask you because it’s about Nia Forest, which we are not very familiar with."
Upon hearing this, the three orcs sighed in relief.
The old shaman nodded, "Shaman Ji Nuan, please ask whatever you need to."
Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan, Uncle Ge Xing, and Ya Li also took their seats nearby.
"The old shaman has lived in Nia Forest for a long time. I want to ask if there are any tribes there that call their tribal chief a ’Chieftain’?"
The old shaman frowned upon hearing the word ’Chieftain’.
He then looked strangely at Ji Nuan, "How did Shaman Ji Nuan come to know about the ’Chieftain’?"
Ji Nuan smiled lightly, and shared some unimportant details about the Armored Crocodile Tribe with the old shaman.
The old shaman nodded in understanding, "So, you encountered the Armored Crocodile Tribe."
He looked at Ji Nuan, "As you know, Nia Forest and Kunteng Mountain are very close to the Land of Death, so we also know about the Armored Crocodile Clan living there.
But since they hardly ever come out, we don’t pay much attention to them.
However, I heard them say that because they live in the Land of Death, they are not blessed by Lord Water God."
At this statement, the orcs in the meeting room straightened their backs, their eyes intently fixed on the old shaman.
"Water God?"
Ji Nuan’s mind was filled with curiosity, for this was the first time she had heard of a faith besides Beast God on the Beast World Continent.
The old shaman nodded, "Yes, last cold season not only did we lack food, but so did the Armored Crocodile Clan, so it was unusual for them to come out of the Land of Death to hunt. I heard this when I was out gathering herbs.
Moreover, the tribal chiefs blessed by the Water God are all called ’Chieftains’."
"Do you know which tribes worship the Water God?"
The old shaman gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "They keep it very secretive. I asked about what tribes there were, and they just grabbed their prey and ran back into the Land of Death with wary faces."
The orcs in the meeting room looked at each other, it seemed they really had no information at all.
Suddenly, Ji Nuan thought of something, her voice full of ease, "We also came to ask because our people overheard their conversation, but they were very cautious and didn’t say much."
After speaking, her smile was even more genuine as she looked at them, "You should go back early, old shaman, and bring your people over as soon as possible. We will start preparing the materials for the houses today, and as soon as you arrive, we will begin construction."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on all three orcs’ faces, even the old, cunning shaman’s smile grew much thicker.
He really liked that house; as an orc ages, every cold season, his legs felt as if they were no longer his own, causing intense discomfort.
