Chapter 1103 - 1102, Assigned to You
"This is the potion I’ve prepared with the Beast God Fruit, crucial for saving lives in dire times. I hope you all will put it to good use."
The three orcs’ hands trembled, almost failing to hold on to it. Did they just get given a potion made from Beast God Fruit?
The old Shaman was even more thrilled; it signified that Shaman Ji Nuan truly trusted him.
Before leaving, Ji Nuan visited the old Shaman’s home, originally she hadn’t planned to give him the Beast God Fruit.
But now, it was still necessary to have a Shaman stationed in each tribe.
However, what Ji Nuan didn’t anticipate was that the old Shaman declined her Beast God Fruit: "Shaman Ji Nuan, you keep the Beast God Fruit. The ones traded back this time are not many, are they?
Traveling might bring numerous incidents, and in case of danger, the Beast God Fruit could save your life. I, the old orc, still have life left, just wait for your return. If there are any Beast God Fruits left then, just give an old orc like me one."
Seeing the wrinkles on the old Shaman’s face, Ji Nuan felt a warmth in her heart, but she didn’t refuse his kindness, smiling and nodding: "Don’t worry. I will ask Fu Yi to inform the Clan Leader, after next year’s big trading fair, the traded Beast God Fruits will definitely be allocated to you."
Having packed all necessary items, they were loaded into Xiu Yan’s backpack, and the two beasts set off on their journey with the tribe members seeing them off.
The distance from the tribe to the mountain Xiu Yan mentioned was substantial; it took three days walking along the seashore before they could start to see the towering mountain range not far ahead.
Ji Nuan shaped a small shelter with her hands in front of her eyes: "Can we really get over this mountain?"
Xiu Yan glanced at her with a smile, "There’s no mountain one can’t cross with food and will, only orcs who give up."
Ji Nuan looked at Xiu Yan awkwardly, was this the time for some motivational speech to soothe my withered spirit?
Though the orc saw the look in the small female’s eyes beside him, he didn’t understand what that meant, assuming it was a look of admiration.
Ji Nuan: What does this look have anything to do with admiration!
Ji Nuan sat on Xiu Yan’s back as the two beasts sprinted and finally arrived underneath the tall mountain as night fell.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Ji Nuan felt like a tiny ant looking up at a great hill.
"Brother Xiu Yan, I look forward to learning from you during our days of mountain climbing," Ji Nuan said flatteringly, looking at the stout-bodied orc beside her.
There wasn’t much hope of crossing the mountain by her own strength, but with Brother Xiu Yan’s help, she felt she could still struggle through it.
Smiling, he gently ruffled Ji Nuan’s hair: "Have you brought the remaining Raw Fruits?"
Ji Nuan showed off a small white toothy grin: "I’ve brought them. I was planning to eat them when I returned to the tribe during the winter, but now that we are out, it’s better to eat them soon for the safety of my little life."
Xiu Yan nodded, set down his backpack, fetched the tent inside, and with a few simple steps, a sturdy tent was set up at the foot of the mountain.
"There’s some food left in the backpack. We won’t hunt tonight. I’ll keep watch here; you eat the Beast God Fruit."
When out on travels, Xiu Yan always had to hunt. Orc shamans have some capability of self-preservation, but a female without any offensive power truly is in danger.
Ji Nuan understood this and nodded earnestly: "Okay."
