Chapter 1374 - 1373: Waiting for Honghong
"We’re here now, but Honghong hasn’t arrived yet."
Ji Nuan sat on a large rock on the beach, resting her chin on her hand. She regretted not asking Honghong to wait here.
But if they left, Honghong would definitely still come here to find them every time. It would be a miracle if they managed to meet.
The two orcs decided to wait by the beach for Honghong, planning to take it along to the Ancient Wood Forest.
After running for three days, the old Shaman of the Red Mountain Tribe and the orcs finally reached the shore of the Red Sea, which was separated from the Ancient Wood Forest. To their disappointment, they didn’t find the Shaman and orcs that the bearded man had mentioned.
"Could they have already passed through?" the skinny orc mumbled, frowning.
The bearded man glared at him with annoyance, "We didn’t leave much later than the Shaman. How could they have moved so quickly?"
The old Shaman turned to the bearded man, "Do you know how that wandering Shaman arrived on our continent?"
The bearded man shook his head, "We found the Shaman in the jungle close to our territory."
The Red Mountain Tribe Shaman frowned, "Let’s go check that jungle you mentioned..."
With that, he climbed onto the back of an orc beside him, and the group of orcs hurried back the way they came.
Meanwhile, Ji Nuan was in a staring contest with a small fluffy creature.
"I clearly left you behind. How did you end up in our basket?"
The little fluffy creature, engrossed in devouring food, ignored Ji Nuan’s grumbling. Focused intently on the meat before it, its serious demeanor was irresistibly cute.
The creature’s newly grown baby teeth couldn’t bite through the meat, so Ji Nuan helped by cutting it into small pieces with a knife and placing them on large leaves for it to eat.
Xiu Yan held a wooden stick, poking the little one’s rear, "There’s quite a bit of meat."
His tone was full of mischief.
This scared the small fluffy creature, making a small whimpering sound, it tucked its tail and darted behind Ji Nuan, its plump body shivering against her.
Ji Nuan chuckled and looked at Xiu Yan, "Brother Xiu Yan, it seems you’re the nightmare of all young creatures."
The orc glanced at the little plump creature behind her and thought of the annoying chubby nephew at his brother’s house, feeling a bit uneasy.
These fluffy, plump little things were the most annoying, unquestionably so.
"It’s been three days already. Why hasn’t Honghong come?"
Xiu Yan glanced at her, "You didn’t tell that Thief Beast it was three days."
Ji Nuan was exasperated...
How could they resist making salt while by the Red Sea? They were running low on salt anyway, so the two orcs took this opportunity to practice their old craft.
Jars of red salt were stored in a tent nearby.
At night, a plump little ball squeezed into Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan’s tent.
Ji Nuan loved these plump little creatures the most, holding onto the small fluffy one tightly, while Xiu Yan’s handsome face was dark all night.
By the next morning, Ji Nuan found the little fluffy creature gone.
Outside, she saw Xiu Yan handling a beast that looked like an elk, "Where’s the little fluffy creature?"
Xiu Yan glanced at her, "Went out hunting."
Hunt... hunting?
Ji Nuan twitched her mouth, "It’s so small and hasn’t even grown proper teeth. How can it hunt?"
Xiu Yan raised his chin, gesturing towards the forest, "See?"
