Chapter 894 - 893: Gru Tribe Territory
Ji Nuan’s eyes lit up when she heard this, as the Gru Tribe had once been a large tribe, moreover a very dominant one on the Beast World Continent. She was indeed curious about what their territory looked like.
"Let’s rest there today," Ji Nuan suggested, looking toward Xiu Yan beside her.
Xiu Yan nodded in agreement.
The surrounding orcs were also eager to try.
Seeing that they agreed, Kaka chuckled and led the way to a large open space not far away, where all the beasts hurried off together.
The site of the Gru Tribe was vast, almost three times the size of the Watson Tribe.
Moreover, the location of the clearing was superb, surrounded by mountains on three sides with sheer cliffs, on which the orcs of the Gru Tribe had carved out caves that looked quite spectacular.
Although sticks and old beast skins were scattered everywhere in the tribe’s site, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but feel that if she had been given such a location when she first arrived, she would never have wanted to move out.
The tribe’s site was separated from the Nia Forest by a river that was not deep. The river flowed gently, crystal clear and pleasing to the eye.
Ji Nuan squatted down and scooped up some river water, cool and comfortable to the touch.
Xiu Yan stood by her side, always close at hand to protect her whenever they went out together.
Ya Li had already directed the Guard Team to start clearing an area of the tribal site, where they would rest.
The items on the clearing were quickly cleaned up, and the orcs set up their tents, using the scattered sticks as excellent fuel.
As wisps of blue smoke began to rise from the clearing, the old tribal site seemed to come alive again.
"Who would have thought? This Gru Tribe site is really great," Ji Nuan exclaimed, sitting on a beast skin mat outside her tent.
Although she loved the environment here, Ji Nuan knew that if they wanted their people to live better, they still needed to find a place where they could develop agriculture.
The lessons from upstream in Eneru Forest were indeed profound.
Even though they had restricted their tribe from hunting and killing young or pregnant animals, other tribes wouldn’t know that. They would kill any beast they saw without thinking twice, just to fill their stomachs.
If they continued to develop this way, hunting had already been very difficult by the time she had crossed over, which was why they had been searching everywhere for edible food.
Now that they had found the purple fruit and Stinky Fruit, the wild animals in the forest could reproduce and thrive.
"Shaman, look, what’s this!" Ya Li’s voice interrupted Ji Nuan’s reverie. She looked towards the source of the voice, and her eyes instantly brightened.
In Ya Li’s hands was an elk calf, only as tall as Ya Li’s shin, with a vine tethered around its neck, occasionally bumping its still hornless head against Ya Li.
But its little force was clearly not enough against the thick-skinned orc, and Ya Li continued to pull it along.
Ji Nuan approached with a smile, reaching out to touch the little one. However, the calf, wary, backed away a few steps and then thrust its head forward.
Seeing this, Ji Nuan also stopped in her tracks, knowing that these wild creatures were always on alert.
