Chapter 991 - 990: To Swordfish Island
Ji Nuan frowned after hearing this: "Those Aquatic Clans, really, I don’t know what to say about them. Just two small tribes, and yet they caused the entire Aquatic Clan such a huge loss. Now they are actually driven into such a state."
Xiu Yan raised an eyebrow: "There must have been some incident. These small tribes are clueless, but those two strong warring tribes can’t speak of it either.
Otherwise, if it were just a problem with medicinal powder, it wouldn’t have dragged on for this long."
Ji Nuan’s heart stirred, and he nodded secretly: "Indeed."
Then he turned his head to Ying Da: "You guys will have to work hard and go back to your respective tribes for now. Gather all the Flying Orcs together. We’ll go take a look at Swordfish Island, maybe we can exchange some good things to bring back."
Ying Da nodded and left.
Xiu Yan handed the small stick in his hand to Ji Nuan: "You watch over the Salt Crystal Water here. I’m going to have the Orcs prepare food for the trade."
Ji Nuan grinned and replied very crisply: "Sure."
As the old Tortoise Tribe priest had predicted, it wasn’t until the next morning that Ji Nuan and his party were ready.
A group of more than twenty Flying Orcs flew towards the island of the Tortoise Tribe.
Xiu Yan held Ji Nuan, with a black snake the size of a mosquito coil coiled in the basket on his back.
It was Ya Li, who at the moment was sound asleep, hissing away, oblivious to the world around him.
Compared to his leisure, Gui Zhuangzhuang was so anxious that he was nearly on fire, pacing in circles continuously in the empty space in the center of the tribe.
It had been almost two days, but there was still no news from Ying Da.
An old Grandma processing seaweed looked up at him several times, finally unable to bear it any longer, she threw the seaweed she was holding onto his head.
"Can’t you just sit still? You’re making me dizzy. I can’t even see the seaweed clearly."
After taking the seaweed off his head, Gui Zhuangzhuang smiled and walked towards the edge of Turtle Island.
He had to see how far the poison had spread.
"Chief, Chief, it’s bad." An Orc’s voice came in fear.
This caused Gui Zhuangzhuang, who was already feeling anxious, to have a sinking feeling in his heart: "What’s the panic? What exactly happened?"
The Orc’s face was pale, and he pointed towards the edge of Turtle Island with trembling lips: "The poisonous sea has surrounded the island; we have no way out."
Gui Zhuangzhuang’s head felt like it had been struck by something heavy, and he experienced a dull pain.
He let go of the Orc, rushing hurriedly to the edge of the island.
The sea, which was originally a deep blue, had now turned pitch black.
Gui Zhuangzhuang was all too familiar with this color; it was the poisoned water.
"What do we do now? The sea is contaminated; we can’t return to Swordfish Island ourselves."
At this moment, Gui Zhuangzhuang was filled with regret. He should have brought the old priest back with him originally.
Even if the island was now contaminated, they could have asked the Watson Tribe’s Orcs to relocate their tribe to the land.
Looking at his reflection in the pitch-black sea water.
Gui Zhuangzhuang felt extreme hatred in his heart for the Sea Serpent Clan and that Land Orc Tribe who colluded with them.
"Chief Zhuangzhuang, what are you kneeling here for?" A crisp female voice came from the sky.
Which made the somewhat dispirited Gui Zhuangzhuang perk up; he stood up happily and looked up.
Above the black sea, more than twenty Orcs were in midair, flapping their wings, looking down at him curiously.
Thinking about how he was just about to cry just a moment ago.
Gui Zhuangzhuang, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head: "Our island has been surrounded by poisonous water, and I was worrying about how to return to Swordfish Island. That’s just... heh heh..."
