Chapter 1065 - 1064: What Are You Holding Back For?
Nakula’s somewhat aged cheeks trembled, one packet of powder for one Snow Beast...
It’s just that they usually trade three packets of powder for one Snow Beast to other tribes.
But considering the relationship between their two tribes before, Nakula could only nod: "Okay, I will go back and organize the hunt right away, hoping that Shaman Ji Nuan would reserve a hundred packets of powder for us, I will definitely bring the prey as soon as possible."
Ji Nuan nodded, looking somewhat dazed as she watched him leave.
After a long while, Ji Nuan finally turned to Xiu Yan beside her: "Tch, is Nakula up to something again? Why did he agree so easily when I mentioned one Snow Beast?"
Xiu Yan toyed with her tender fingers: "He won’t get far, don’t worry."
Hearing this, Ji Nuan nodded. That made sense.
She then put Nakula to one side, but the promised hundred packets of powder were separately sorted out.
The next day, the competition for trade slots was uneventful, with the Watson Tribe taking first place, the Monte Tribe second, and the Nacha Tribe third.
The Watson Tribe bartered aquatic produce and goods for five Beast God Fruits, all of which were aged fruits.
Ji Nuan gave them to Chief Ge Xing; these were the fruits of the tribe members’ collective labor, to be distributed according to contribution later on.
And this time, the pills and potions were traded for ten Beast God Fruits, six of which were raw fruits.
Thinking of Xiu Yan’s current strength, and needing to consume five more Beast God Fruits just to catch up to him, was disheartening.
The next day, Ji Nuan and her group got up early. Today was the day for free trade between tribes, and she was eager to see if she could find some good items.
Just as they had finished breakfast and were getting ready to leave the camp, they unexpectedly met with a hunted animal at the camp’s entrance.
Casa and Harry, carrying a mountain-like load of Snow Beasts, were walking towards the Watson Tribe’s campgrounds. They seemed surprised to see Ji Nuan and her beasts who were about to exit.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, we’ve come to deliver the prey. We really didn’t expect that catching a Snow Beast on Beast God Mountain would be so difficult; it truly took a lot of effort," Harry said.
Casa, carrying a Snow Beast, quietly stood behind Harry without saying a word.
Presented with delivered prey, Ji Nuan of course was pleased. She personally led the two men into the camp, approaching a particularly spacious tent.
Two Orcs stood guard at the entrance of the tent, bowing respectfully when they saw Ji Nuan: "Shaman."
She turned to Harry and Casa behind her: "Just put the prey here for now."
Harry and Casa threw the mountain-like Snow Beasts down onto the ground.
A few unfamiliar Orcs walked out from behind them, carrying the prey into the tent to begin processing.
Harry and Casa had not done so initially for fear of attracting Ice Vines.
They hadn’t expected that the Orcs of the Watson Tribe would start processing right there in their own camp.
The snow-white fur was skillfully peeled off by the Orcs, the organs cleaned, and the processed meat washed in melted snow water already heated in the fire pit before being placed in containers on the side.
The bright red blood dyed that patch of ground, but Harry and Casa, standing outside the tent, couldn’t smell the blood at all.
Harry couldn’t help but glance at the female Shaman beside him. Although they had only interacted with this tribe a few times, he had been shocked too many times.
"Has Shaman Harry ever seen the Divine Wood Tree people?" Ji Nuan asked casually.
Harry’s expression paused, then he smiled nonchalantly: "Of course, didn’t everyone see them during the competition?"
