Chapter 955 - 954, Shell Beads
Ji Nuan looked at him with confusion, "Who are you?"
The orc did not look old, and Ji Nuan really couldn’t be sure if he was Gui Baobao and Gui Beibei’s father or their older brother.
The orc smiled and said, "I am Baobao’s and Beibei’s father, and also the Clan Leader of the Tortoise Tribe."
Having said that, he took out two shell beads the size of an orc’s fist, both of which were black. Their color was lustrous and extremely attractive.
Ji Nuan’s eyes also lit up.
Gui Zhuangzhuang handed the shell beads to Ji Nuan, "Shaman Ji Nuan, these are the special products of the Tortoise Tribe. Each year, only very few Shell Beasts can produce shell beads of this color.
Baobao said you really like Shell Beasts and shell beads, so these two are for you. I hope you will accept them; it’s a token of our gratitude for saving Beibei."
Surrounding orcs from the Sea Tribe watched enviously as Gui Zhuangzhuang presented the black shell beads.
But there was nothing they could do, as the tribe’s shell beads were divided each year, giving three each to the priest and the Clan Leader, and then another ten were awarded to orcs who had made a great contribution to the tribe.
The remaining black shell beads were all tributes for the Whale Tribe.
Thus, seeing Gui Zhuangzhuang give out two black shell beads to Shaman Ji Nuan all at once, they were really envious.
"Then I will accept them. To tell you the truth, I do actually like them."
Having said that, he reached out to take the two black shell beads and turned to hand them to a Guard Orc behind him.
The Guard Orc took the shell beads and carefully wrapped each in beast skin taken from a basket on his back, then placed them back into the basket with great care.
The Tortoise Tribe orcs across from them felt a pang of heartbreak seeing the Watson Tribe orcs wrap the shell beads in such fine beast skin.
Wouldn’t it be better to make beautiful beast skin clothes or cushions out of such good beast skin?
Ji Nuan smiled seeing Gui Zhuangzhuang and the old priest, "Let’s go. We’ve set up a wooden shelter not far from here. Let’s go there to sit and talk."
Kaka then stepped forward to lead the way.
Since the Flame Season was also a rare time of calm at sea, there were no storms or tsunamis.
The rudimentary wooden shelter still stood intact there.
Orcs from the Watson Tribe took out many pieces of beast skin from their baskets and laid them on the wooden platform, and then followed Kaka to the beach to collect Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts.
The old priest glanced at Gui Zhuangzhuang, who then ordered the Tortoise Tribe orcs to join as well.
Now in the wooden shelter, only Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan, the old priest, and Gui Zhuangzhuang, the four of them, were left.
Ji Nuan didn’t keep hiding it, and looked at the old priest with a serious face, "I wonder if you know about the Beast God Fruit?"
Upon hearing this, the old priest’s pupils contracted sharply, thinking to himself that it was as expected.
He sighed, "Of course, I know. What you call the Beast God Fruit, we Aquatic Clan call the Water God Fruit."
Ji Nuan nodded. In fact, it was the same; it was a Divine Fruit that could evolve orcs.
She nodded, "You are right, it’s just called differently.
The reason I could save Gui Beibei was that I put the powdered peel of the Beast God Fruit in the potion I gave to Baobao."
The old priest’s face couldn’t help but show a trace of disappointment, "Actually, I had guessed that there must be the Water God Fruit in that little porcelain bottle with the potion, but still held out a sliver of hope, sigh..."
Seeing the old priest’s aged face, Ji Nuan also felt a complex sensation in her heart.
