Chapter 924 - 923, The Little Turtle
The Orcs started bustling about, setting up tents, while Ji Nuan called Xiu Yan, Ya Li, and Kaka over. The four beasts made their way towards the beach in the Tortoise Clan’s territory.
The beach was strewn with scattered seashells, and occasionally a crab would scuttle past arrogantly. Ji Nuan also spotted something cultivated using kelp not far from a rock.
To her, the beach was filled with tasty treats everywhere. Thinking of the deliciousness of the seafood made Ji Nuan shamelessly swallow her saliva.
"Who are you? Why have you come to our Tortoise Clan’s territory?" Suddenly, a childish voice rang out not far behind the group of beasts.
Ji Nuan and the others quickly turned around to look. A Orc-sized young sea turtle was clinging to a rock, its small, black-bean-like eyes staring seriously at the group of beasts.
Ji Nuan and her company were somewhat astonished, "Are you from the Tortoise Tribe’s Orcs?"
Upon hearing this, the little sea turtle, unseen by the group, involuntarily flicked its little tail with glee – someone had called it an Orc, yay~
Such an insightful little female.
It lifted its small head proudly, "Of course, I am a mighty Orc of the Tortoise Tribe. Which tribe are you from?"
Ji Nuan didn’t immediately answer the young turtle but instead turned to Kaka, "Are all the Orcs of the Tortoise Clan this small?"
Kaka gave a bitter smile upon hearing this and lowered his voice, "The Orcs of the Tortoise Clan are actually quite large. This must be a juvenile from the Tortoise Clan."
"A juvenile?" Ji Nuan murmured in amazement, "How can it speak then?"
Kaka paused, then slapped his forehead with some annoyance, "I forgot to mention that the reason the Aquatic Clan’s Orcs always consider themselves stronger than the Land Beasts is that their young can speak from an early age, unlike the Land Beasts who can only speak upon reaching adulthood."
Ji Nuan’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at the little turtle, half hidden behind the rock. This was indeed a revelation.
Her eyes wandered, and suddenly she revealed a very "brilliant" smile, taking a few steps forward and stopping not far from the juvenile, "Greetings to the Tortoise Clan’s Orc warrior. We’ve just arrived here and saw many things on the beach we’d like to collect. I wonder if that would be alright."
The young turtle, dazzled by the beautiful face of the little female, was already somewhat spellbound.
Now that the pretty little female also called it an Orc warrior, the juvenile instantly felt immeasurably tall and powerful.
With a generous wave of its small paw, it declared, "Go ahead and pick, pick whatever you like."
The little one’s black-bean-like eyes shined brightly, indescribably adorable.
Ji Nuan looked back at the three beasts with a smile, "Go and collect some Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts. I shall have a talk with this Orc warrior from the Tortoise Clan."
With that, she winked at the three beasts.
Seeing her repeatedly address the Tortoise juvenile as an Orc warrior, and the little juvenile clearly enjoying the role play, the interaction between the two beasts couldn’t have been more amusing.
The three beasts struggled to contain their laughter and obediently went to collect Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts.
Ji Nuan then sat down on the nearby beach, her curiosity piqued as she looked at the young turtle, "Orc warrior, why are you standing behind the rock? Are you afraid of us?"
The proud juvenile, upon hearing this, felt instantly insulted.
It quickly scurried out from behind the rock on its four short legs.
