Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

Casa, still sitting on the mound of sand, suddenly stiffened, his gaze toward Ji Nuan carrying a trace of resentment. If it’s like this, then why the heck did you forcefully mash that powder into my mouth earlier? Do you think I’m even worse than those bugs?

Seeing Casa’s resentful eyes, Ji Nuan gave an embarrassed smile. Could she admit that she did it on purpose just now? Ohoho~

Holding the segmented tree pod, she came over to Xiu Yan. The Orc extended his arms to embrace her, and with a shudder of his broad back, two huge wings unfurled behind him.

After a few flaps, they soared into the sky, heading toward the place where the thorny fruits were.

Meanwhile, Harry and a few other Orcs were somewhat stunned as they watched them disappear into the distance, a wave of emotion spreading through their hearts.

So, Shaman Ji Nuan and the others could have actually left safely; they chose to stay just for their sakes?

Heh, it must be said, kids are still too naive. It was all for those cacti up ahead; it really had nothing to do with you at all.

Ji Nuan nestled in Xiu Yan’s embrace, feeling that it was only a few breaths’ time before Xiu Yan halted: "We’re right above them now."

Ji Nuan skillfully sat on Xiu Yan’s arm, holding the segmented tree pod as she looked down. The mounds of sand from before had disappeared, and the desert floor had returned to its previous calm.

"Why do I feel like these bugs are lying in ambush here, waiting for their prey to come to them?"

Xiu Yan nodded: "The branches and leaves of these thorny fruits can quench thirst, and the flesh can be used as food. The wild beasts in this desert would likely come over upon seeing them, and inadvertently become food for these bugs."

Ji Nuan pouted: "These guys are really quite cunning."

Xiu Yan hummed softly and tossed down a Long-eared Beast that he held in his other hand. The Long-eared Beast was still alive; upon hitting the sand, it began to hop and bounce away in an escape attempt.

At this point, the scorpions beneath the sand perhaps sensed the Long-eared Beast’s movements, and the mounds of sand swelled and then burst forth, with crimson scorpions flooding out like a deluge, pouncing toward the struggling Long-eared Beast not far away.

The Long-eared Beast, under the scorpions’ attack, let out a series of screams. Ji Nuan quickly opened the segmented tree pod, scattering the powder down.

The pale green powder enveloped the scorpions like a fine mist, and in a moment’s time, the surging crimson tide quieted down.

Upon closer inspection, the entire bodies of the red scorpions were flipped over, lifeless, in the desert sands.

"How should we deal with these things?" Ji Nuan looked at the unconscious creatures, uncertain of what to do. To collect them? Fifth-level Orcs couldn’t even defend against the scorpions’ strikes, so what could possibly contain them?

"Burn them with fire," Xiu Yan suggested.

Ji Nuan’s eyes lit up; it really was a good idea. Fast and leaving no trace, truly a matchless method for exterminating beasts and claiming their goods.

"Let’s go, we should hurry back and gather some of that tumbleweed grass."

If you were to ask what plant in the desert is even more common than the thorny fruits, without a doubt, it would be the ubiquitous tumbling tumbleweed grass.

At this time, most of the tumbleweed grass had already dried out, perfect for starting a fire.

"Shaman, they’re back," Tuya called out, a hint of excitement in her voice.

No sooner had she spoken than Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan had already descended.

"Those bugs are now unconscious, all lying there. We’re going to find more tumbleweed grass, then go and burn them all to death."
