Chapter 1169 - 1168: What Should I Do?
"Shaman Harry and Norz are responsible for processing the prey they hunted and smoking it into jerky that can be preserved for a long time."
Harry and Norz furrowed their brows; they actually wanted to go hunting too.
Ji Nuan glanced at them. "Everyone understands the current weather in the desert. If the prey caught isn’t processed, it’ll definitely spoil, so this step is very important. Besides..."
Ji Nuan gave Harry and Norz a mischievous look. "Don’t go thinking that two high-level evolved orcs would only bring back one or two prey~"
The teasing tone at the end successfully made the two beasts, who moments ago thought the job was easy, pull long faces.
Well, exactly—killing the prey during hunting was one thing, but processing it was also exhausting, especially since Shaman Ji Nuan said they’d have to make smoked jerky...
They’d never even heard of it before.
"I’ll teach you the method for smoking jerky tomorrow. Thank you both for your hard work."
Seeing her somewhat gleeful expression, Harry and Norz couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.
At this moment, Tuya couldn’t sit still anymore and anxiously raised her hand and called out, "What about me? What am I supposed to do?"
Ji Nuan grinned at them and tilted her chin toward Tuya. "You’ll be collecting firewood with me."
"Collecting firewood?" Harry frowned. "The trees in this oasis can’t be randomly cut down, and fallen branches have long been gathered by the orcs from various tribes for use. Where will you collect firewood from?"
Ji Nuan chuckled, "We can collect it outside the oasis."
"What? That’s too dangerous," Harry outright denied the idea. Both of them were delicate females. Safety within the oasis couldn’t even be fully guaranteed, let alone outside, where encountering wild beasts was a constant risk.
Ji Nuan laughed lightly as an immensely strong aura began to radiate from her, and her body also started to undergo changes as the aura intensified.
Looking at the Shaman Ji Nuan now standing before them—with a pair of white beast ears and a white tiger tail swaying back and forth behind her—Harry and the others stared with wide eyes, their jaws almost hitting the ground.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, you’re... you’re a half-beast?" Tuya stammered.
"Not a half-beast, but a fifth-level evolved orc," Casa replied, his expression brimming with shock.
"Fifth-level... orc..." Harry swallowed hard, thinking about the Beast God Fruit he’d been carefully hiding like a treasure back at the tribe, then looking again at Ji Nuan in front of him.
He suddenly felt so bitter. What was he supposed to do? They’re both shamans, but the disparity is so vast he couldn’t accept it.
Not to mention she’s surpassed first-level; she jumped straight to fifth-level. He was well aware of how much effort Casa, a fifth-level orc, had put in to reach that level.
Ji Nuan dispersed the aura around her, returning to her original form, and gave a cheeky grin. "Can we go now?"
Seeing her smug demeanor, Harry and the others were left with no choice but to envy and resent her.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, can females also become evolved orcs by eating the Beast God Fruit?" Witnessing Ji Nuan’s transformation was like having a new world unveiled in front of Tuya, and her eyes filled with fervent longing.
Ji Nuan took note of her desire and didn’t oppose the idea of females growing stronger, so she nodded decisively. "Yes, but ordinary Beast God Fruits have no effect on females. Eating them won’t result in any changes."
