Chapter 970 - 969: Provocation
The orc’s smile was tinged with danger, "Chief Elyle truly has a commanding presence, to challenge the authority of our Shaman again and again."
Ya Li might have been fooling around endlessly, but he had never once held back the Tribe in serious matters.
On the contrary, he had always been an orc that Ji Nuan greatly relied on.
And the strength he now possessed was all thanks to Ji Nuan’s incremental assistance.
So it could be said that Ya Li was devoutly loyal to Ji Nuan.
The Sea Crocodile Tribe’s chief had reneged on his word and was now speaking ill of Ji Nuan; Ya Li could hardly bear it.
Without holding back any longer, his formidable Land Beastmen’s aura immediately pressed down on Chief Elyle.
The surrounding orcs, seeing this, also stepped forward in unison, releasing their intimidating aura. Although none were as potent as Ya Li’s, the combined pressure of several first-level evolved orcs caused immense disarray within the Aquatic Clan’s ranks.
Elyle’s complexion was no longer just unsightly; it was turning pale.
Because the pressure from Ya Li and the Land Ors was directed primarily at him. As a mere first-level evolved orc, facing such formidable intimidation, it was already impressive that he hadn’t immediately knelt on the beach.
And all this happened in the blink of an eye; the Aquatic Clan’s Beastmen had not even had time to react before the Land Beastmen’s pressure was upon them.
The Beastmen at the forefront were in a disheveled state.
An exceptionally tall and old orc was being shielded behind by a young orc who had been chatting amiably with him just moments ago.
The expression on the young orc’s face was extremely grave.
Seeing this, Gui Zhuangzhuang hurriedly advanced against the pressure that was weakening his knees, "Captain Ya Li, it’s me~"
His voice trembled slightly.
The chill in Ya Li’s eyes softened somewhat upon seeing Gui Zhuangzhuang, "Gui Zhuangzhuang?"
Relieved to be recognized by Ya Li and feeling the pressure upon him lessen, Gui Zhuangzhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickened his pace and approached, "Captain Ya Li, Chief Elyle was just anxious, I hope you won’t hold it against him.
Look, could we perhaps go in first and wait?"
Ya Li glanced at Gui Zhuangzhuang, "The Tortoise Tribe is a friend of the Watson Tribe, of course you may enter. As for the other beasts, there’s no need."
Gui Zhuangzhuang, looking somewhat awkward, glanced back at the Beastmen from the various Aquatic Tribes and, with gritted teeth, pulled Ya Li aside.
"Captain Ya Li, to be frank, those Beastmen at the front are from our Aquatic Clan’s elite combat Tribe, the Giant Whale Clan.
They’ve come to inquire if there’s any other herb in the miraculous medicinal powder Shaman Ji Nuan gave us last time.
The Beastmen of the Giant Whale Clan ground the peel of the Water God Fruit into powder and had the poisoned Beastmen drink it; though it detoxified them, the effect was not as good as the medicine Shaman Ji Nuan gave to our Tortoise Tribe.
Those Beastmen were very weak after the detoxification."
Ya Li lifted his chin proudly, "The Watson Tribe holds such a high position among the Land Orc Tribes because of our Shaman Ji Nuan’s prowess.
The Shaman can even heal bones; of course, you can’t expect to learn that easily."
He glanced at Chief Elyle, whose eyes were dark, "Those from the Sea Crocodile Tribe cannot enter, and the other Beastmen may do so only if they stay inside the wooden huts."
