Chapter 1106 - 1105, High Mountain
After cleaning up, Ji Nuan looked at the peak that seemed to have no top and silently cheered herself on, then followed behind Xiu Yan to climb up the mountain.
The high mountain was covered with dense forests, and many animals lived there.
Ji Nuan also found several kinds of herbs that were very precious on land.
As they climbed towards the northeastern part of the mountain, a group of creatures had already stood on the mountain top—that was Harry and his group.
Looking down at Nia Forest from the mountain base, Harry and his group were amazed; from here, the Nia Forest looked just like a meadow seen everywhere else.
"This mountain is really high, looking down from here, what used to be tall forest trees now look like mere grass," Tuya, though still a bit out of breath, the scenery seen from high above was so beautiful that it made her temporarily forget the soreness in her body.
"Tuya, sit down and rest a bit, it’s tiring after climbing so long, isn’t it?," came a concerned voice from an Orc behind her.
Tuya then truly felt the soreness and fatigue in her body, nodded, and sat down on a rock covered with beast skin with the assistance of the Orc.
"Let’s rest here today and set off tomorrow," Harry and Casa also turned their gaze away at this moment.
Tuya could not have climbed up if Norz had not carried her on his back. Orcs do have better physical strength than females, but they also get tired, even Casa, the strongest among them, felt a trace of fatigue.
After insisting on hunting two wild beasts and coming back, the four creatures simply had lunch, and Tuya, Norz, and Harry casually laid down a beast skin and fell asleep.
But Casa went to the spot where Tuya had rested earlier and sat in the warm sun at the mountain top, guarding the safety of the three creatures.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he got up and walked to a huge rock on the mountain peak, looking towards the other side of the mountain, the scenery in front of him instantly widened his eyes.
Unlike the scenes they had seen before, the other side of the mountain was completely barren, only hosting some very strange-looking small trees and shrub-like plants growing.
And below the mountain...
It was truly a golden expanse... as far as the eye could see, the golden color seemed endless. Could the Shaman really have come out from such a place?
Moreover, looking from here, that golden color even carried a slight sense of distortion, for some reason, Casa suddenly felt as if he had been exposed to the harsh sun for a very long time.
His throat moved, inexplicably thirsty, he wanted to drink some water.
And from here, he took out a fruit and placed it in his mouth, crunching it down into his belly.
Although his eyes were uncomfortably stung by that golden hue, Casa did not take his eyes away, he wanted to try and see if he could spot the spiky plants that Harry mentioned.
But, the result disappointed him, even until his eyes began to sting, he still did not see those plants.
That golden area did not look like a place where wild beasts would be, which meant, if the plant that Harry mentioned did not exist, them going there would be seeking death.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead and face, Casa returned to the shade on the other side.
Looking at the three creatures sleeping soundly, he decided to still share this information with them later, let them have a look for themselves, and then decide whether or not to go.
