Chapter 122: Chapter 118: Testing the Drug Effect_1
"So it was him after all!" Ji Nuan, hugging the silver wolf cub, stood near a tent not far away as the little fluffy fur ball Fu Yi had vanished.
Xiu Yan nodded, slightly rubbing his tiny head: "When we were making crispy sweet fruit last time, I noticed that something was off about him. If I had not been there that day, he might have tried to take you away as well."
"It’s alright, all the medicine powders I gave were made from tasteless grass and stinky fruit powder, which has no effect in treating the insect disease. I hate it when someone secretly takes something," Ji Nuan pouted.
The Chief Ge Xing was leading his tribespeople in maintaining an eerie silence. Many tribes had noticed the unusual activity in the Watson Tribe during the night, but did not know the cause.
The only one who knew the reason, Ya Li, was lying in a tent modeled after the Watson Tribe’s, a smile playing on his lips as he watched a young orc in front of him with a face full of joy and the fragrant package sitting there.
"Brother, this is the medicinal powder that Ji Nuan just prepared. I managed to steal it while he went out to have his dinner." She Wu looked at Ya Li with a face full of expectation for being praised.
Ya Li’s usually sinister face broke into a genuine smile: "Go and rest. We’ll be watching a good show tomorrow. Without the medicinal powder, let’s see how the Watson tribe can trade."
She Wu nodded and went to rest in the tent arranged for him by Ya Li.
Even though this tent was not as warm and comfortable as those in the Watson Tribe, he felt oddly happy to be by his brother’s side.

The next morning, as the Orcs awoke, a wave of tension and excitement spread throughout the basin. The Orcs didn’t even bother to grab a bite before they all gathered at the Watson Tribe’s camp.
They looked expectantly at the inhabitants of the Watson Tribe who were still leisurely eating their breakfast.
Ji Nuan was holding the chubby cub, while Fu Yi behind her carried a massive beast skin package.
Ge Xing was also there, wiping his oily mouth, leading a few Orcs to fetch a large stone one meter high and two meters wide.
Ji Nuan sat behind the stone, looking out at the dense crowd of beasts: "I’m sure a lot of you have doubts about the authenticity of our insecticide medicine. So, to show that the Watson Tribe isn’t deceiving anyone, I’m going to select three beastmen today to test this insecticide powder."
She looked around, raising her voice slightly: "Who would be willing to try it?"
The Cat Beast Clan Leader was the first to raise his hand: "I am the Tribe leader of the Cat Beast Tribe, and I am willing to try this insecticide powder."
Ji Nuan exchanged a glance with the Kat Beast Clan Leader and said loudly: "This trial will not require any exchange of goods, so who else would be willing to try?"
Upon hearing that no exchange of goods was needed, several slightly poorer tribes eagerly stepped forward. Among them, an old beastman said in anguish: "Shaman, my insect disease had already flared up last month, probably it will explode soon. I’m already facing death, might as well give it a shot. Maybe this old life of mine could last a bit longer."
Ji Nuan gave him a small bag of medicine: "You can drink it with confidence. I guarantee this powder can cure your insect disease. After drinking, it will kill the insects in your stomach, so it might hurt a little, just bear with it."
The old beastman took the bag of medicine shakily, very carefully poured it into his chipped stone bowl, stirred it evenly with his finger and only then drank it down.
