Chapter 1117 - 1116, A Camel
Xiu Yan shook his head: "It’s not the scent of an Orc; it resembles more like that of a wild animal."
"A wild animal?" Ji Nuan tried hard to peek her head out from behind Xiu Yan to look toward where the sound was coming from, but the terrain there was relatively lower and blocked by mounds of earth, so she couldn’t see anything.
The footsteps continued to approach slowly and leisurely; what kind of animal was it, could it be that it hadn’t noticed them?
As time ticked away, eventually, those footsteps crossed over from the edge of the earthen hill, followed by a familiar big head appearing.
Watery big eyes and eyelashes that even an eyelash master would envy...
Uh... a camel?
As it kept chewing with watery eyes that looked towards them, it showed no particular emotion, as if observing some very ordinary small animal.
"Are all the camels here so composed, not even a bit scared of an Orc?" Ji Nuan murmured as she stepped out from behind Xiu Yan.
Xiu Yan looked towards the rather large wild animal with two humps on its back, the same kind of beast he had seen before in the desert.
"Is this the wild animal that I was watching over on the mountain?"
Ji Nuan nodded, watching the camel comfortably nibbling on grass and leaves, occasionally sipping water leisurely.
Ji Nuan inwardly sneered, since it came right to them, wouldn’t it be a real waste not to take it?
Turning to Xiu Yan, she said: "Brother Xiu Yan, let’s capture it to help us carry stuff. Didn’t you say you saw it from far off in the desert? This shows it can survive in the desert, which would make things more convenient for us with it around."
After speaking, she turned and went back into the tent to fetch a few crispy sweet fruits. They had finished those they brought, and these were ones she had gathered from the other side of the mountain earlier.
Ji Nuan threw the crispy sweet fruits in front of the mound; if the camel wanted to eat them, it would have to come up from behind the mound.
Sure enough, the world of foodies knows no danger.
The camel glanced at Ji Nuan with its watery eyes, then directly walked up from behind the mound and lowered its head to scoop the crispy sweet fruits from the ground into its mouth.
Ji Nuan swore that she absolutely saw a hint of satisfaction in the eyes of the camel.
After finishing the crispy sweet fruits, the camel savored them for a while, then turned its watery eyes back to Ji Nuan.
That straightforward gaze meant only one thing: give me more.
Ji Nuan laughed and threw out another crispy sweet fruit, this time landing closer than before, less than 5 meters away from her and Xiu Yan.
The camel was not scared at all, lazily striding over to the crispy sweet fruit and snatching it up again.
That contented little look was simply too much.
Ji Nuan recalled, that time they went to the desert in China, they also rode camels, but those camels were already tamed.
They were very docile and obedient. With a whistle and a few tugs on the reins by the handler, they would immediately lie down in the sand one by one, waiting for the tourists to ride them.
Was this one so unafraid of them because it hadn’t seen an Orc in a long time?
Finally, Ji Nuan passed a crispy sweet fruit to Xiu Yan who was beside her, with a flattering smile: "Brother Xiu Yan, try feeding it by holding it in your hand, see if it eats."
Xiu Yan looked towards the crafty-looking little female beside him with a half-smile: "Aren’t you afraid it will bite me?"
