Chapter 1070 - 1069: No Need to be Polite
It had been ten days since we returned to the tribe.
The prepared pickled Humming Beasts and salt were already stored in the warehouse.
The pure white salt filled exactly 100 tree pod jars, which were all that remained of the salt obtained from the raw fruits in the storage.
The Mengta Tribe rested in the Watson Tribe for one night and, early the next morning, sorted their belongings, loaded up the pickled Humming Beasts and salt, and prepared to return.
"Chief Ge Xing, Shaman Ji Nuan, before the cold season, I’ll have Meng Tai bring the hunt over."
At this moment, Meng Zhuo’s heart was filled with gratitude towards the Watson Tribe.
Chief Ge Xing stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and laughed, "What’s there to be polite about between our two tribes, haha, hurry on now, it’s getting dark and you’re not trying to scrounge another meal here, are you?"
What was initially a sentimental farewell mood was instantly swept away, and Chief Meng Zhuo rolled his eyes in annoyance: "If I wanted to eat, I would’ve just stayed to eat, why would I need an excuse?"
With a grunt, he turned and ran into the distance: "Old fellow, Shaman Ji Nuan, we’re off."
Meng Tai and other members of the Mengta Tribe, seeing their Chief’s flamboyant departure, could only bid their Orc friends hasty farewells as they scrambled to follow Meng Zhuo in leaving.
After sending off the Orcs of the Mengta Tribe, the significant events of the year were concluded.
Upon returning to the tribe, Ji Nuan distributed the six Raw Fruits she had, giving one each to Grandma Shaman, Aunt Ge Rou, and Aunt Naima.
The three females instantly rejuvenated after eating the Beast God Fruits, and their old ailments vanished.
Ji Nuan gave Xiu Yan two ancient fruits to take back to Uncle Xiu Li.
With the tribe’s affairs now distributed, Ji Nuan took the Orcs and headed towards the sea.
At this time, the great trade meeting of the Aquatic Clan had also concluded, and the Water God Fruits were distributed among four powerful tribes.
However, unbeknownst to all the other Aquatic Orcs, the Tortoise Tribe had exchanged a very attractive item with the Whale Priest, who used this porcelain, combined with a disc he had obtained before, to trade for three Water God Fruits from the Divine Wood Tree people.
One of these Water God Fruits was then given to the Tortoise Tribe.
This matter was only known to a few high-ranking members of the Giant Whale Tribe.
The Tortoise Tribe, keeping a low profile, had Zhuangzhuang consume the Water God Fruit as soon as they obtained it.
They were too weak; had they taken the Water God Fruit back to their tribe, if any other tribe found out, not only could they lose the Water God Fruit, but their lives might be at risk as well.
The Sea Crocodile Tribe was also very pleased this time because they brought abundant goods and exchanged them for some Divine Wood Tree Branches and Leaves.
Seeing the empty-handed Sea Tribe, the spirits of the Sea Crocodile Priest were lifted immensely.
After returning to their own sea island, because tribal members had been trapped on Swordfish Island and caused significant losses to the Swordfish Tribe, the Giant Whale Tribe called for a meeting on Swordfish Island to discuss compensation.
Although the Swordfish Tribe is not considered a powerful tribe, it is still highly valued by the Giant Whale Tribe compared to smaller tribes like the Tortoise and Sea Crocodile Tribes.
It was also at this meeting that the Sea Crocodile Priest learned that the Sea Tribe had traded an item for a Water God Fruit.
Although the other creatures were envious and jealous, there was nothing they could do; the Water God Fruit had already been consumed by Zhuangzhuang.
The Tortoise Tribe now had a second-level evolved Orc.
