Chapter 223: Chapter 222, Riverside_1 Sa Duoduo, who was quite proud of herself, had no idea that a terrifying Beast Wave was surging towards the Eneru Forest from a nearby mountain range... Ji Nuan’s straw mats received unanimous praise from the females during the migration. Wearing these large straw mats, they didn’t have to worry about getting wet in the rain. The chubby young ones obediently sat in the warm and soft back baskets placed behind their fathers or their uncles. They were so comfortable that they either lay or sprawled, sleeping so soundly that they were drooling. The cat Meowmeow obediently nested in the basket behind Ya Li, sleeping in a sprawling posture, which aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of the female beasts. Even the adult weaker females around them could feel the grim resentment radiating from the enraged female beasts. They could only force out a few laughs and hurry their male partners to move faster. When they were younger, they didn’t think being cute and small was something to boast about, but now... why do they suddenly feel a sense of superiority? They can’t say it out loud or else they’ll be beaten up! Ji Nuan, wearing a woven rain hat and a straw mat around her, looked like a ball riding on Xiu Yan’s back. The rain fell and drummed on her, but she didn’t get wet, which eased her worries a bit. Ge Tai led a group of Orcs running at the front of the group, immediately dealing with any beasts they encountered. They would use their numbers to win against a few to clear the migration path as quickly as possible. The days of migration slowly passed by during endless travel. The journey was much longer than expected, and with the added difficulties of taking care of females and cubs all along, they didn’t reach the Eneru River until twelve days later. The Eneru River, which had just thawed at the beginning of the rainy season, was a lot higher than it was during the tribal assembly, and the current was much faster. Ji Nuan looked out over the territory, which was located below the spot where they had crossed the river last time, and it was endless plains. The fur of the Orcs was incredibly dirty. The splashing mud covered them, and they all looked like toughguises, nothing like their once handsome and dashing selves. The females got off the backs of their males and looked at the ugly and smelly males. They grimaced. Were these dirty beasts really their decent and good-looking Orcs? "My people, we will rest here today and head to the downstream plains tomorrow." Chief Ge Xing ordered and headed to the riverside. He watched carefully for quite a while before carefully scooping some water with a large leaf and rinsed off his body. "Everyone be careful, the river is home to terrifying crocodiles and Beast-eating Fish. They can reduce an Orc to a skeleton in the blink of an eye." Seeing the Orcs flocking to the river, and some of the younger Orcs who had never attended a tribal assembly, Ji Nuan quickly warned. Only then did Chief Ge Xing realize the bad example he’d set. He quickly stood up: "Everyone, move away from here! It’s too dangerous. If you’re dragged into the river by one of those terrifying Beast-eating Fish or crocodiles, no one will be able to save you. All of you don’t even have a female partner. What are you showing off for?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with resentful glances from all directions. Clan Leader, isn’t your comment out of line? Aren’t you just courting resentment? Aunt Naima rested against a tree by the river, looking away. She really didn’t want to put up with this fellow any longer.
