Chapter 921 - 920, The Cry of the Melting Beast
The Orc tightly embraced the small female in his arms, sniffing her scent, and his raging emotions finally began to slowly calm down.
It was a while before the two Beasts parted, and Ji Nuan frowned at the Orcs still there regrouping, "Our herbs and supplies are all left at the camp, and the tribespeople are injured, unable to heal."
Her tools were all in a small basket inside the tent, but in the rush to escape, she hadn’t been able to bring them.
Xiu Yan took her over to where the Orcs were, "Stay here and be good, I’ll go get the stuff."
Only Xiu Yan could fly here, and the Melting Beast just couldn’t attack an Orc in the air, so it was safest for him to fetch the items now.
Ji Nuan clasped the Orc’s hand tightly, "Be careful, if that Melting Beast is still there, don’t go."
Xiu Yan nodded, "Don’t worry."
But the fleeting viciousness in his eyes gave him a dangerous air.
With that said, the Orc’s figure swept up, his wings flapped behind him, and he was already flying a great distance away.
Only when the Orc’s silhouette disappeared from view, did Ji Nuan let out a sigh and turn back.
"Kaka, go find some sticks, the really straight kind."
Kaka, who was resting nearby, immediately got up and acknowledged the request, running towards a large tree not far away.
The sticks were easy enough to find, but Xiu Yan had not returned for a long time.
This made Ji Nuan somewhat worried.
Ya Li also furrowed his brows tightly, "Is it possible that the Melting Beast hasn’t left?"
A twinge of fear shot through Ji Nuan’s heart.
Just then, a sky-shattering wail pierced the air, a sound impossibly familiar to Ji Nuan and the Watson Tribe Orcs.
"Melting Beast!"
"It’s the Melting Beast’s cry."
"It seems injured, the sound is so agonizing."
Ji Nuan felt her heart about to leap out, her throat involuntarily going dry.
Ji Nuan looked at Ya Li, "Ya Li, you go take a look. I’m worried something happened to Xiu Yan."
Ya Li didn’t dawdle and set off towards the direction of the campsite after acknowledging.
But before he had gone far, all the Orcs suddenly gasped in unison.
A huge fiery red object was rapidly approaching from a distance.
The Orc clutching the object was none other than Xiu Yan, whom Ji Nuan and the Orcs had been so worried about.
At the new campsite.
The Orcs had their wounds all treated already; during the fight with the Melting Beast, even Xiu Yan had incurred some injuries.
His left forearm bore a deep gash from the Melting Beast’s fangs,
The Orcs rested, and tonight Ya Li himself was on watch.
The Tribe members’ had drained their energy in today’s battle, making it unsafe for them to keep watch tonight.
Looking at the Giant Melting Beast that had been cleaned up by the Orcs, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but feel a trace of awe unbidden in her gaze.
Today when Xiu Yan came back with the Giant Beast, the shock in the Orcs’ eyes was almost palpable.
Like a small mountain, the Giant Beast had both eyes gouged out by an iron blade, while a massive wound exposed a stomach injury, with Xiu Yan bringing the Giant Beast back when its innards were nearly spilling out.
"It was way too dangerous today, didn’t I say if the Melting Beast was there, you shouldn’t go over?" Ji Nuan glanced at the Orcs repeatedly, puckering her mouth, and couldn’t stop muttering.
Only the heavens knew, the moment she saw Xiu Yan covered in blood, carrying the Melting Beast back, her head was buzzing.
