Chapter 899 - 898: Purpose
Kaka, with his rough features, clearly hadn’t noticed the orc’s gaze.
He ran over excitedly and squatted beside the orc, "Ethal, how in the world did you end up here, isn’t your home quite a distance away?"
Seeing that they knew each other, Xiu Yan finally lifted his large foot off the orc’s back.
Relieved of the weight on his back, the orc supported himself with his hands on the ground and coughed violently.
Seeing he was in distress, Kaka quickly poured a bowl of water and handed it to him.
The orc, not standing on ceremony, took it and drank it down in a few gulps.
His eyes were filled with wariness, and he looked at Kaka with hatred, "So it’s you."
Kaka finally realized the orc’s hostility, leaving him somewhat dumbfounded, and for a moment, he simply stood there, stunned.
Shaman Ji Nuan walked over, "Hello Ethal, I am the shaman of this tribe. It seems you know Kaka, but you’re filled with hostility towards him. May I know what happened?"
Ethal looked at Ji Nuan with a cold sneer, "Why would I be full of hostility towards you? Don’t you know?
You’re coveting what belongs to our Aquatic Clan. Lord Water God will punish you for that."
Ji Nuan frowned, she truly felt there must be some misunderstanding.
Xiu Yan’s cool voice sounded above the orc’s head, filled with murderous intent, "I think he is a spy sent by the Sea Serpent Clan to watch us. We might as well kill him."
Ji Nuan frowned. Ya Li was impulsive, so why was Xiu Yan stirring up trouble too?
She was about to look up and say something when she caught a cunning glint in Xiu Yan’s eyes and instantly understood.
Her expression also turned cold, and she looked at Ethal with disgust, "So you’re an orc from the Sea Serpent Clan. I’ve already said I’ll leave this territory tomorrow, yet you dare to spy on us. Do you really think I, as a shaman, am easy to speak with?"
Then she turned her gaze to Xiu Yan, "Kill this orc, and then sever his head to send it to that, whatever his name is, from their tribe, as a warning to stop coveting what’s ours, or next time we’ll kill all the orcs of their Sea Serpent Clan."
Having said that, she cast one last disgusted glance at Ethal and sat down on a beast skin mat.
Ethal was dumbstruck, and so was Kaka.
Seeing Xiu Yan pull out a sharp iron knife from his waist, Kaka, aware of the weapon’s sharpness, panicked and quickly ran to Ji Nuan’s side, "Shaman, this must be a misunderstanding. Ethal is an orc from the Sea Crocodile Clan. How could he be spying for the Sea Serpent Clan?"
Ya Li sneered softly, "Kaka, you’re too kind-hearted. Maybe this Sea Crocodile Clan has already defected to the Sea Serpent Clan."
Ethal, who had been somewhat dumbfounded until now, exploded at these words. His eyes reddened and he roared at Ya Li, "Who defected to the Sea Serpent Clan? We are valiant orc warriors, and we would never betray Lord Water God to join the Sea Serpent Clan."
Kaka was overjoyed to hear this and looked at Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan, and Ya Li, "Shaman Ji Nuan, there must be some misunderstanding here. Can I please speak with Ethal?"
Ji Nuan appeared impatient and waved her hand dismissively, "Go ahead and ask, but if you don’t find out anything, I won’t care whether you know him or not, he will be killed."
Kaka found it strange that the shaman was acting nothing like her usual self, but he suppressed his doubts and walked back to Ethal.
"Ethal, what exactly is going on? Why aren’t you in the tribe?"
