Chapter 1006 - 1005: Three Days
"You all possess formidable strength and can hear distant sounds, but the strongest Orcs on Swordfish Island are just those two accompanying the Whale Priest and Python Priest. Let’s go and inform the Aquatic Clan Orcs on Swordfish Island."
The two Orcs nodded, and all three got up and headed outside the cave.
But before they reached the cave’s entrance, a series of sea conch sounds reverberated across Swordfish Island.
The deep and resonant sound spread to every corner of Swordfish Island.
Ji Nuan was somewhat surprised; it seems that while the Aquatic Clan Orcs might not be as strong as Xiu Yan and Ya Li, their perception of danger in the water is something Land BeastmOrcen can’t compare with.
Ji Nuan was right; it was the night patrol team that detected the danger in the sea.
The Aquatic Clan Orcs, living in the sea year-round, are highly sensitive to even the slightest change in hydrological conditions.
Not to mention the traces of large groups of Sea Beasts moving through the sea, for these hunters of the sea, tracking them down is an easy task.
Ji Nuan and the others walked towards the open space in the center of the Tribe.
At this moment, the open space was already crowded with numerous Orcs, organized by their team leaders into small squads.
They were ready for battle at any moment.
Ji Nuan finally understood the source of the intense killing aura on those Orcs when they first arrived at Swordfish Island today.
Seeing their practiced movements, it’s likely this wasn’t their first time facing such an attack.
Before long, priests and Clan Leaders from various tribes also arrived. Seeing Ji Nuan and the others, the beasts showed curiosity—Could it be that these Land BeastmOrcen also knew what the blowing of the sea conch signified?
If Ji Nuan knew what they were thinking, she would have chuckled.
I came out because the two powerful Orcs beside me heard the noise from the Sea Beasts.
Teams of Orcs followed their leaders toward the edge of the island.
It was then the Whale Priest and Python Priest finally approached Ji Nuan and the others: "Did the sound of the sea conch bother you?"
Ji Nuan shook her head: "We hadn’t rested yet. Brother Xiu Yan and Ya Li heard an abnormal noise from the sea. We were planning to warn you, but it turns out you’ve already noticed.
You truly are a race that lives in the sea."
Admiration sincerely filled Ji Nuan’s eyes.
This made the two priests feel very honored.
The Whale Priest laughed heartily, his robust voice carrying far: "The sea is the Aquatic Clan Orcs’ territory. It’d be terrifying if we weren’t familiar with our own domain."
The Python Priest also laughed: "Indeed, isn’t it?"
Ji Nuan laughed along with them.
Afterward, she looked towards the two priests: "The Orcs seem very skilled at this. Has Swordfish Island faced such sudden attacks before?"
The Python Priest nodded: "Yes, at this time every day, the Sea Beasts attack Swordfish Island. It has been going on for three days now."
"Don’t you know the reason?" Ji Nuan frowned. Wouldn’t these Sea Beasts be affected by the poison sea water?
The Python Priest shook his head: "We don’t know. These Sea Beasts all naturally carry toxins within them, and it seems the poison in this seawater has no effect on them."
The Whale Priest gazed towards the distant dark sky and sea: "Perhaps it’s also for food. The poisonous sea water has killed all the Sea Beasts in the sea. Not only are we Orcs devoid of food, but these Poisonous Sea Beasts can’t find food either."
