Chapter 1358 - 1357: Farewell
Adong nodded: "Hmm."
Knowing they were leaving today, Mu Qing, Mu Chun, and the old Clan Leader all came to say their farewells.
The old Clan Leader was quite the actor, even shedding tears as he urged Ji Nuan to visit often.
Ji Nuan found him too much to handle, so without waiting for him to continue, she led the orcs away.
After several more days of continuous travel, the orcs finally returned to the Alonzo Tribe. Seeing Nigel and Adong back, the tribespeople swarmed up.
Everyone was talking at once, eager to know how many Beast God Fruits they had traded for.
But as more and more orcs entered the tribe, the tribespeople suddenly grew silent.
Seeing their kin, who had left, return unharmed, the tribespeople’s eyes reddened with emotion.
Many of the female elders quietly wiped their tears.
In the past, attending the trade fair was always known to be dangerous, but for the future of the tribe, orcs would still scramble to participate.
The tribespeople also knew that after every trade fair, many orcs would eternally rest in Beast God Mountain, the place closest to Lord Beast God.
Yet, the loss of loved ones would still bring them immense sadness.
This time, many tribespeople had already mentally prepared for the loss of family members, especially since this was the first time Adong and Nigel led the people to the trade fair.
But unexpectedly, the same number of orcs who left for the trade fair returned, not one less.
The old Shaman and Alenta were both surprised. However, while the Shaman was pleased and relieved after the surprise, Alenta felt resentment.
Initially, it was expected that many orcs would die at the trade fair, which would certainly undermine Adong’s authority in the tribe, but unexpectedly none of them died, and it instead strengthened Adong’s prestige.
In retrospect, it was a great loss for Alenta not to participate in the trade fair under the pretext of Pierre’s injury.
Adong and Nigel got such a great opportunity out of it.
The trading team returned to the cave to store the traded beast skins. Alenta, feeling very displeased, went back to the cave.
The old Shaman then took Nigel and Adong to his cave: "Nigel, how many Beast God Fruits did you trade for this time?"
Nigel carefully took out a small beast skin pouch from inside his beast skin clothing and handed it to the old Shaman.
The old Shaman carefully received it, and the weight in his hand made him instantly beam with joy: "You actually traded for two?"
Nigel and Adong nodded happily: "We took a lot of items this time; we didn’t think we could trade for two Beast God Fruits. Maybe it’s because we didn’t suffer any losses."
Adong also nodded. Previously, when they were climbing, many orcs carrying goods would fall, losing the items they carried.
Thus, in the end, the competition between the big tribes was evident; the tribe with more surviving orcs carrying goods could trade for more Beast God Fruits.
This time, none of their tribe’s orcs died, naturally securing the largest share of the trade.
The old Shaman decisively handed a Beast God Fruit to Adong: "This is for you, Adong. Try to raise your Evolution Level in the coming days."
