Chapter 902 - 901: Building Relationships
Ji Nuan laughed. Now with the Sea Crocodile Clan connection, salt-making by the sea would be much easier for the Watson Tribe.
Seeing his fatigued face, Ji Nuan turned to Kaka beside him, "Kaka, you take Ethal to rest first, and call him when it’s time for the evening meal."
Grateful, Ethal bowed deeply to Ji Nuan before following Kaka to his tent.
Xiu Yan and Ya Li sat down on a beast skin mat to the side, watching the orc walking into the tent with Kaka.
Xiu Yan’s eyes narrowed, "It seems we’ve come at just the right time."
Ya Li offered a mock prayer towards the sky, "Thank the Lord Beast God for his protection."
Seeing his charlatan-like demeanor, both Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan couldn’t help but reveal amused expressions.
At mealtime, the campsite brewed a pot of purple fruit porridge and roasted meat.
When the scent of the purple fruit porridge wafted into Kaka’s tent, the orc who had been snoring loudly ceased his thunderous snores in an instant.
His proud nose twitched continuously, and his thick eyebrows struggled and twitched as if torn between a sweet dream and delicious food.
Just entering the tent, Kaka nearly laughed aloud at this comical sight.
He snickered and squatted next to Ethal, pinching the orc’s nose.
Expecting the orc to struggle to breathe, Kaka was stunned that the highly skilled sleeper continued to breathe through his mouth, continuing his slumber.
Confused, Kaka could only start slapping the orc’s large face, "Ethal, Ethal, wake up, there’s good food."
No sooner had the words been spoken than the orc, who had been sleeping like a dead Humming Beast, instantly jumped up, his saliva nearly soaking his beast skin clothing.
Kaka hastily grabbed a worn piece of beast skin to protect the orc’s chest, "Ethal, can’t you control your drool? I only have so many beast skin clothes, I won’t wear them if you drool on them."
Ethal, feeling a bit embarrassed at first, suddenly had his eyes light up.
To Kaka’s utter shock, Ethal wiped the saliva from his mouth onto his beast skin clothing.
Then he looked at Kaka apologetically, "I’ve dirtied this beast skin clothing, since we have such a good relationship, why not just give it to me?"
Kaka’s eyes bulged at the words. I’ve seen shameless, but never this shameless.
Ethal slapped Kaka on the arm carelessly, "Come on, let’s go, we’re all brothers. What’s one piece of beast skin clothing?
My stomach’s growling with hunger, let’s go eat, I can smell the food already."
Looking at the shameless Ethal walking ahead and thinking about their important salt-making task, Kaka could only huff and then follow him out.
By Ji Nuan and their fire, several fragrant little wild beasts sizzled on the spit, oozing with oil, completely irresistible.
Ethal squatted by the fire, drooling, a picture of greed.
Ji Nuan asked Ethal, "Does your tribe eat fish and sea beasts from the ocean?"
Ethal nodded, then shook his head, "We eat fish, sea beasts, and seaweed. Sometimes, when food is scarce, we also hunt in the forests near the shore.
But our hunting experience on land is limited, so we don’t catch many prey."
