Chapter 895 - 894: The Youngling
She stood up helplessly, "First, tie it to a tree. We can take it back when we return to the tribe. This is actually the first time I’ve seen a young elk."
Xiu Yan walked over to Ji Nuan and nodded at the sight of the young elk, "Yes, these elks are very protective of their young.
They always hide their young on high and steep mountains, only allowing them to come down when they have grown their imposing antlers and are able to fight.
That’s why it’s so rare for us to find and hunt these elks."
Ya Li had already tied the fawn to a nearby large tree and even thoughtfully found a spot with fresh tender grass.
After struggling for a little while to no avail, the fawn calmed down and began nibbling on the fresh grass.
At this moment, however, a commotion erupted from the riverbank opposite the clearing.
Ya Li’s brow immediately furrowed, and he glanced at Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan, "I’ll go see what’s happening."
With that, he turned and ran towards the opposite bank of the river.
Ji Nuan could only vaguely make out a group of orcs gathered on the opposite bank of the river, but she couldn’t see the specifics. It was likely one of the Nia Forest tribes.
Xiu Yan, however, slightly furrowed his brows, a trace of concern in his eyes, "It seems it’s not that simple."
He had seen one of the orcs from the opposing side swimming across the river, and the moment it reached land, it transformed into an orc form.
"It looks like it’s an orc from the Aquatic Clan."
Ji Nuan’s eyes brightened, "Aquatic Clan?"
Seeing the gleam in her eyes, Xiu Yan knew what she was thinking, and a dangerous glint flickered in his eyes, "Don’t get too happy too early, it doesn’t look like anything good."
Hearing this, the smile slowly faded from Ji Nuan’s face, "Let’s go take a look."
Indeed, if it had been good news, they would have come over from the opposite bank of the river long ago, or at least one of the orcs would have come to report.
Just as they reached the bank, the Guard Team’s orcs noticed them, and one of the orcs ran over.
Ji Nuan could also hear the arguing across the river and looked at the approaching orc, "What happened?"
The orc’s face was marred with distress, "Those beasts are from the Aquatic Clan. We were just returning with our prey when they claimed it belonged to them and demanded we give it back to them."
Ji Nuan’s expression instantly became very odd. Were these Aquatic Clan orcs sent as a joke by monkeys?
"Let’s go, we’ll head over and take a look." The orc nodded at her words and turned to lead the way.
Xiu Yan carried Ji Nuan across the river, and the noise from the bank became even clearer.
Seeing Ji Nuan arrive, the Watson Tribe’s orcs immediately fell silent and stood there honestly.
If Ji Nuan hadn’t seen their faces flushed red from arguing, she would have thought they were naturally this well-behaved.
The Aquatic Clan orcs, seeing the orcs who had just been quarreling with them now standing so meekly, behaved even more obediently than a scolded fawn.
They were so taken aback that they ended up swallowing the harsh words that were about to come out of their mouths, with a few of them choking on their own saliva.
Ji Nuan stepped forward and addressed the opposing orcs, "I am the Shaman of this Orc Tribe, call your leader out."
Ji Nuan’s words were extremely impolite, even quite assertive and arrogant, but none of the orcs felt she was being excessive.
