Chapter 218: Chapter 217, Preparation_1
Xiu Yan gulped down the last bit of soup, then said: "It’s ferocious beasts, a lot of them. The trench in front of our Tribe is filled with bodies of these beasts, and several Orcs have been injured."
Ji Nuan looked somewhat distressed: "Isn’t it said that beasts don’t attack the Orc Tribe in large numbers during the rainy season?"
Xiu Yan’s gaze became a little heavy: "The cold season this year has lasted over a month longer than usual. The beasts haven’t had a full meal in a long while. In order to fill their stomachs, what couldn’t happen?"
Ji Nuan anxiously replied: "Then what should we do? If the trench outside our Tribe gets filled with the bodies of beasts, the beasts will step on them to reach the city gate. It would put us in danger. Who knows if they might break into the city?"
Xiu Yan stood up: "I’m going to find Uncle Clan Leader right now. I’ll take a few Orcs and go check the back mountain. If there aren’t many beasts there, we will migrate from there. We can’t continue to stay here."
Ji Nuan nodded: "Put on a Beast Skin before you go, it’s too cold outside in the rain. I’ll be waiting here for your news."
Xiu Yan embraced her, went back into the room to grab a Beast Skin to put on his head, then rushed into the rain.
Looking at the courtyard and the scattered houses in the Tribe through the rain, Ji Nuan felt a sense of sorrow. These were built painstakingly by their Tribe. She had planned to turn this place into a new outpost, but now, for their survival, they were forced to abandon it.
Xiu Yan was gone all day, and had not returned. If it weren’t for the periodic reports from Orcs about the situation, Ji Nuan thought she would have been worried sick.
In Grandma Shaman’s house, Bosson and other Orcs had been assigned to other vacant rooms.
Chief Ge Xing, the Shaman, and Ji Nuan sat around the heated brick bed, their brows were deeply furrowed.
Grandma Shaman sighed, breaking the silence: "I don’t know how the cubs are getting on. I can’t believe they’re not back yet after so long."
Clan Leader Ge Xing waved his hand: "It’s okay, Xiu Yan probably wants to scout a larger area. After all, we have to take the females and cubs with us on this trip, we have to be careful."
Ji Nuan was suddenly woken up by Uncle Ge Xing’s words, right, there were females and cubs in this migration. If they were exposed to rain for a long time, they would easily fall sick.
Realizing this, Ji Nuan quickly put on a Beast Skin, turned her head towards Uncle Ge Xing and Grandma Shaman: "We are migrating during the rainy season, females and cubs will surely fall sick if exposed to rain for a long time."
Grandma Shaman pointed at a large bundle of Beast Skin in the corner: "I thought of that too, so I brought all the collected herbs from last year."
Ji Nuan shook her head: "That’s not enough. We can’t wait for them to get sick and then treat them. We have to do our utmost to prevent them from falling sick."
Grandma Shaman and Ge Xing looked at each other, seeing the same sparkle in each other’s eyes.
Uncle Ge Xing also put on a Beast Skin and jumped off the heated brick bed: "Let’s go. I’ll go with you. If you need help, we’ll assign some Orcs."
Grandma Shaman’s hunched back straightened a little: "Go. I’ll sort out some more medicinal herbs."
Ji Nuan and Clan Leader Ge Xing arrived at the large warehouse in Ji Nuan’s house. Inside, Beast Skins were piled up like a small mountain.
