Chapter 1111 - 1110: Strange Place
"A strange place? What’s odd about it?" Ji Nuan was very curious as she looked at the tall orc beside her.
The orc’s deep eyes showed a hint of amusement: "Why not find out by going there?"
After saying this, he continued pulling her forward. Ji Nuan’s heart itched with curiosity, and she found her footsteps quickening even faster than Xiu Yan’s.
When they reached the large rock, she even rolled up her sleeves and was about to climb up, causing Xiu Yan to break out in a cold sweat.
The orc walked over, scooped up the little female who was sticking her butt out, crouched slightly, and with a powerful jump was already stably perched on the top of the large rock.
Ji Nuan straightened up in the orc’s arms and looked toward the strange place beyond the mountain that Xiu Yan had mentioned.
But the sight that met her eyes made her pupils instantly dilate: "Holy moly!"
A world of golden yellow, that fine, dense, endless sea of gold was all too clear to Ji Nuan, who lived in an era of information overload.
That was the desert. She and her friends had once gone to attend the Hero Conference in M Province, which was set up in a vast desert.
But because there were highways, organizers, and supply points, no one would foolishly venture deep into the desert, so that trip had been full of joy.
But now...
Looking at the endless golden expanse, even from the top of such a tall mountain, she couldn’t see the edge of the desert.
Could it be that the other continent is composed of a world like this desert?
Looking at the desert and the sun above it, then at the distorted air above the desert, Ji Nuan could feel sweat flowing down her body like a small river.
Her mouth was also terribly dry, her lips even beginning to crack and peel.
Feeling her own changes, she quickly turned her head away and stopped looking at the desert.
She swallowed hard: "Brother Xiu Yan, are we really going there?"
Xiu Yan also furrowed his brows and looked down at Ji Nuan: "Nuannuan doesn’t want to go?"
Ji Nuan pursed her lips. To tell the truth, she was indeed a bit scared by the situation.
But then again, this was the first time she had seen a desert in the Beast World.
Should she... go take a look?
Seeing his partner’s tangled expression as she frowned, Xiu Yan’s thin lips quirked into a slight smile.
At this moment, the little female looked like a wrinkled steamed bun, quite amusing.
However, comparing the little female to a steamed bun was something he couldn’t let her hear, otherwise his next few days would not be so pleasant.
"If Nuannuan doesn’t want to go, we won’t go. It’s soon going to be the cold season, so we might as well go back and prepare food," the orc said with his deep, magnetic voice near her ear, causing Ji Nuan’s small and fair ears to tremble. She pushed the orc’s handsome face away from her a bit: "Don’t disturb me, let me think properly."
The soft little hand pushed against his resolute cheek, yet it brought a few more hints of amusement to the orc’s eyes.
He didn’t disturb her further, just quietly holding the little female in his arms and looking off into the distance as well.
The orc’s eyes grew darker as the afternoon wore on, his gaze sweeping repeatedly over the golden landscape.
Suddenly, as if he had seen something, a spark of light appeared in his pitch-black pupils, and the corners of the orc’s mouth lifted into a pleased curve: "Nuannuan, even this great road called the desert has plants and animals."
Ji Nuan, still deep in thought, nodded without giving it much thought: "Yeah, yeah, there are drought-resistant plants like cacti in the desert, and some..."
