Chapter 1431: Chapter 1428: The Well-Behaved Ferocious Crocodile
Ying Yan left the Ancient Wood Forest and returned to the Black Mountain early the next day.
The Ancient Wood Clan Leader’s younger brother had also recovered under Ji Nuan’s treatment, and Ji Nuan’s image among the people of the Ancient Wood Tribe instantly became noble and prestigious.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, how long will you stay at the Black Mountain?"
Harry and Casa, along with members of the Hunting Team, escorted Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan to the Red Sea shore.
Ji Nuan smiled at him, "We’ll leave after the rainy season ends. Shaman Harry, you haven’t forgotten the people of the Bitter Tribe whom we saved in the East Continent and the Nomaden Tribe we brought out from the desert, have you?"
Harry slapped his forehead and chuckled, "I really had forgotten. Then I won’t hold you back. If you ever come to the Southern Continent, you must visit me."
Ji Nuan, like a good buddy, patted the orc’s shoulder, "Who knows, maybe you could come to our continent anytime in the future, haha."
A sound of splashing water was heard, and Ji Nuan turned to see Honghong had been watching them with large eyes for quite a while.
"Ferocious Crocodile!" The orcs of the Ancient Wood Forest shouted loudly, and Harry stretched out his hand, ready to pull Ji Nuan back.
Yet Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan had already walked up to the Ferocious Crocodile and...
Had already stepped onto its back. That usually fierce and cunning Ferocious Crocodile was unexpectedly meek, lying there motionless, waiting for them to settle down.
Ji Nuan stroked Honghong’s big head and looked at the terrified orcs of the Ancient Wood Tribe, "This is Honghong; I can travel quickly between the two mountain ranges all thanks to it."
As if hearing a compliment, Honghong proudly lifted its large head, with its tail behind cheerfully swaying.
Spraying water droplets splashed onto Ji Nuan.
Xiu Yan slapped the boastful beast’s head, "Calm down, will you? You’re splashing water all over Nuannuan’s clothes."
Smart Honghong wouldn’t commit the crime of offending its owner. Its cheerfully swaying tail promptly stopped and cautiously hissed.
Ji Nuan laughed and patted her, "Be good."
"We’re off, see you next time."
Bidding farewell to Harry and the beasts, Honghong shot off like an arrow from a bow, soon disappearing from their view.
An orc from the Hunting Team muttered as he watched Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan depart, "No wonder the old Shaman asked us to secretly send Shaman Ji Nuan away; they came to the Red Sea shore. Turns out they left on the Ferocious Crocodile."
The beasts nodded in agreement. Indeed, not just anyone could ride the Ferocious Crocodile.
After a bout of admiration, they turned back to the tribe. Others might have great abilities, but they still needed to live their lives diligently.
Thanks to the help from the Ancient Wood Tribe, many small and medium tribes participating in the war in the Ancient Wood Mountain Forest didn’t lose many beasts this cold season. Most of the losses were due to illness among elderly orcs or those who were weak females and younglings. Although food was scarce, they could still survive through this cold and rainy season.
But conditions weren’t as optimistic for the Black Mountain Tribe.
Due to the war, food preparation in the tribe was very limited. After saving enough for the Clan Leader and Shamans, each orc family received only a fist-sized piece of meat per day.
Many orcs with already weak bodies chose to give their only food to the younger orcs, opting instead to starve to death.
