Chapter 1157 - 1156: The Most Precious Territory
Although such a dwelling did not shield them much from the scorching sun.
Ji Nuan discovered that their cave was situated on the only piece of hard ground she had seen since entering this small tribe.
Seeing her kick the ground with her foot, the middle-aged orc laughed heartily: "Shaman Ji Nuan, this piece of ground is the most precious territory we have been allotted.
Each tribe must have such a place capable of digging out caves in order to survive in this desert.
During the flame season, it seems like we’re about to melt, and during the cold season, we’re like to be shattered into grains of sand."
Ji Nuan couldn’t help reflecting on the orcs’ difficult lives here, had she arrived here in the beginning...
She couldn’t resist glancing back at the females behind her, whose skin color was not much different from these orcs.
Suddenly becoming black after being Chinese, she expressed total inability to accept it～
The entrance to the cave was not very large; orcs had to crouch to enter, but for females, it was just a matter of bending over.
Fortunately, this low entrance was not very long, after about five meters, the cave’s opening began to get taller and wider.
"If the entrance of the cave is too large, it would be particularly cold in the cold season, so we dig our entrances very small," the middle-aged orc competently acted as a guide.
Inside the cave was very dark, especially when just entering from the outside, Ji Nuan could only feel pitch-blackness before her eyes, unable to see anything.
At this moment, a pair of strong arms embraced her into a chest, wrapping her up in a broad embrace for protection.
The familiar scent on the orc’s body comforted Ji Nuan, allowing him to lead her through the pitch-black cave.
"Has it always been this dark here?" Ji Nuan couldn’t help but speak up, not knowing where the middle-aged orc was, she could only talk towards the front.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged orc’s voice came from ahead: "Inside the cave, there are ventilation holes, but most places are like this.
Our people are used to it; we have always lived here, even with our eyes closed, we can walk very quickly."
Ji Nuan silently nodded, and suddenly, her eyes brightened, reaching into the beast skin pouch at her waist to pull out a palm-sized bag.
She joyfully opened the bag, and a faint light began to emanate from the mouth of the bag.
She reached in and pulled out the object inside, which was given to her by the priest of the Whale Tribe at the seaside. It was commonly used by the Aquatic Clan orcs to install in caves for illumination.
The name for it differed among the various tribes.
In Ji Nuan’s case, she had given it the long-established name from China, the Luminous Pearl.
And this Luminous Pearl was definitely of superior quality.
As soon as it was taken out, it illuminated the area within several steps around her.
The emergence of light in the dark cave surprised the middle-aged orc walking in front, who quickly turned back to look towards the source of light.
If any problems arose in this particular area they were excavating, that would really be a big trouble.
A new place suitable for digging out caves could not be exchanged for some food.
However, after seeing the glowing pearl in the Shaman’s hand, the middle-aged orc couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
What treasure is this?
With this query in mind, he asked outright.
Ji Nuan chuckled: "This is a Luminous Pearl given to me by the priest of the Aquatic Tribe. The Aquatic Tribe, like you, lives in such caves. The inside is somewhat dark, so they use this to illuminate."
