Chapter 949 - 948: Howl Together
The two little ones were just pretending to cry, but when their mother asked them so gently, the tiny tear drops at the corners of their eyes broke, and tears instantly overflowed.
Gui Beibei didn’t get a chance to tattle before Gui Baobao threw himself into the arms of the female, wailing with his tender young voice, "Mum, just now in Granpa Priest’s cave, so many uncles asked us questions, and dad even said we were tricking beasts, wuwuwu~"
Upon hearing this, Gui Baobao sniffled and started wailing as well, with nothing to add since his brother had said it all, he figured he might as well join in the crying.
Now, the small cave was filled with the sad cries of the two little ones, which made the female’s heart ache terribly.
The fact that Beibei had almost died made the female value the two little ones even more; she couldn’t believe her mate was not only neglectful of protecting their cubs, but was now even harming them, which was absolutely unforgivable.
That evening, Zhuangzhuang had a miserably rough night, only because he had to meet with the Lord Priest and other beasts from the Land Orc Tribe the next day.
Zhuangzhuang’s mate declared she would definitely show him what female authority was all about.
Meanwhile, Ji Nuan’s side had returned to camp and gathered the tribe to discuss the meeting with the Tortoise Tribe the following day.
Ji Nuan went back to the tribe to prepare new potions.
Xiu Yan looked at the orcs standing before him, his voice as cool as always, "Tomorrow morning we will head out to meet the orcs of the Tortoise Tribe at the beach, rest well today and conserve your energy."
The orcs responded uniformly in affirmation.
Xiu Yan then turned to Ya Li standing to the side, "Tomorrow, it will still be Kaka and me going, the camp is left in your hands."
Ya Li nodded solemnly, "Alright, take care."
Ji Nuan spent those few days in the territory of the Tortoise Tribe not just playing with the two young cubs.
On the first day, she had collected some poisonous seawater and stored it in different porcelain jars.
The potion she gave to Gui Baobao was her first experimental result, made from the peel of the Beast God Fruit.
Although the antidote was effective, it was important to know that the Beast God Fruit was not a common fruit found in the forests.
It was very precious, and even Ji Nuan couldn’t afford to use much of it.
Moreover, she was unwilling to use such a valuable fruit to save the Tortoise Tribe, with whom they had no relations.
Of course, if their tribe had any Beast God Fruits, she would not mind sharing the recipe for turning it into an antidote.
The potion she was currently testing was made from a herb collected by Ya Li and the others at the edge of the Land of Death.
This herb was identified when they tracked the Nacha Tribe warriors who were harvesting it, and they harvested it as well.
They even collected some other unrecognized herbs around it.
Ji Nuan fed this herb to a captured Mouse Beast for experimentation, and after a short while, the Mouse Beast began to roll painfully in the porcelain basin.
It squeaked miserably for a long time before stopping, still showing weak breaths but had fallen unconscious.
Ji Nuan took the other herbs they brought back and mashed them into a paste to feed the Mouse Beast.
