Chapter 900 - 899: Misunderstanding
Ethal looked at Kaka for quite some time, only seeing worry in those familiar eyes.
He then crossed his legs and sat on the ground, looking at him seriously.
"I ask you, Kaka, were you sent here by the Sea Serpent Clan?"
Kaka solemnly shook his head, "No, I swear to Lord Water God, we came here because Shaman Ji Nuan had business by the sea.
But when we rested at the former site of the Gru Tribe yesterday, the Sea Serpent Clan suddenly appeared and accused us of hunting on their territory. Another Tribe’s Orc testified against us, so we explained that we would leave tomorrow. What exactly happened?"
Upon hearing this, Ethal finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked apologetically at Kaka and the Orcs beside him, "I’m truly sorry. The Sea Serpent Clan and a Land Orc Tribe conspired to pour some strange liquid into our sea waters.
The fish and other sea beasts have all died, and the priest from our nearby tribes, while trying to make a potion to counteract it, were poisoned too and are now unconscious in the Tribe.
I came out here because I heard that the Land Orc Tribe in collusion with the Sea Serpent Clan was coming here, and I wanted to find out more before setting out to kill them."
At this point, a cold murderous intent filled the Orc’s eyes.
Kaka burst out laughing and patted Ethal on the arm, "You guy, our Shaman Ji Nuan is a very, very powerful Shaman, you know? Your priests are incompetent, why not ask our Shaman Ji Nuan for help? Maybe he could save your tribe."
The Orc’s eyes immediately sparkled, and he cautiously glanced at Ji Nuan, then whispered to Kaka, "This Shaman looks so young, is he even an adult yet, is he as powerful as you say? You’re not tricking me, are you?"
Kaka shot back sharply with a kick, "What good would tricking you do me? Are you going to give me food?"
Ethal was stunned by the comment, and then he chuckled heartily.
Ji Nuan saw this and was quite speechless, drawing a corner of her mouth into a slight grimace. What kind of Orc makes friends like these? Silly Orc Kaka only befriends other silly Orcs.
The Orc got up and walked in front of Ji Nuan, bending over to perform a chest-touching gesture, "Ethal of the Sea Crocodile Clan apologizes to you, Shaman Ji Nuan, and hopes you can forgive my earlier rudeness."
Ji Nuan nodded, "I’ve heard your conversation just now, please sit down."
She pointed to a Beast Skin mat not far away.
Ethal looked at the shiny Beast Skin mat Ji Nuan was pointing at, his eyes nearly popping out.
Such a fine piece of Beast Skin just casually thrown on the ground to sit on?
Seeing his incredulous expression, Ji Nuan curiously pointed to the mat. "Why not sit?"
Ethal winced painfully, "You actually use such fine Beast Skin as a seat cushion? That’s far too extravagant."
Ji Nuan looked at the Beast Skin mat she had been sitting on for two years, completely dumbfounded.
She considered herself very thrifty!
She wouldn’t even throw away worn-out Beast Skin, and now someone was calling her extravagant?
Seeing Ji Nuan’s puzzled expression, Kaka quickly stepped forward and gave Ethal a slap on his muscular buttocks, producing a very sensual sound, "All you do is talk, just sit down already."
Rubbing his sore buttocks, Ethal cautiously sat down.
