Chapter 268: Chapter 267, Stealing Seedlings_1
Ji Nuan waved to the few beasts with a smile, "Shall we get going then?"
Xiu Yan stepped forward, picking up the juvenile beast. His wings spread open behind him as he shot towards the sky. Seeing this, Ying Yan and the others quickly followed.
Shi Jie stood dumbfounded as he watched the figures flying away, turning to ask Bear: "That one with white wings, is it... an Eagle Beast?"
He spoke the last two words with an air of uncertainty.
Bear grinned at him and replied, "That’s the Silver Wolf Orc."
A Silver Wolf Orc that can fly?
Shi Jie turned his gaze back to the fading figures in the distance, his gaze heavy.
...
"Brother Xiu Yan, let’s first go to the Gray Bear Tribe’s territory to find some Crisp Sweet Fruit seedlings," Ji Nuan suggested, looking up at the beautifully carved jawline of the beast-man.
Xiu Yan’s mouth curved into a pleasing arc as he lightly rubbed Ji Nuan’s head with his chin, uttering a gentle hum in acknowledgment.
The eagle beasts behind them were left in despair as they witnessed the sickeningly sweet display of affection between the couple. Life had become rather tough; they were out hunting but still had to endure the trauma of their companion beasts’ display of affection.
The territory of the Gray Bear Tribe was easy to find. It was located at the foot of a mountain opposite the Dashi Tribe. The numerous caves at the base of the vertical cliffs testified to the number of beasts in the Gray Bear Tribe.
After some searching within the Gray Bear Tribe’s territory, they eventually found a field of green seedlings in an area that looked cultivated.
Ji Nuan crouched down, scrutinizing the plants for a long time and even uprooted one for examination. However, the seedlings were too young, making it difficult to identify them.
Ji Nuan stood up, clapped the dirt off her hands and concluded, "Having observed for a week, it should definitely be it. All the weeds around here have been cleared, probably to help the Crisp Sweet Fruit seedlings to grow."
The beasts looked at her confusedly and nodded their heads in agreement. Whatever she said is correct, they thought, admitting their lack of understanding.
Seeing their expressions, Ji Nuan realized that her earlier question had been pointless. She waved her hand, "Start digging!"
The beasts quickly took off their baskets, clenching their claws to shovel, dug up the dirt along with the seedlings.
While Ji Nuan was carefully placing the young plants into her smaller container, she pulled a dry smile, They’ve got claws, they are impressive.
By the time Ji Nuan had filled up her small container, the beasts had been waiting for her for quite a while.
Seeing her rubbing her sore waist as she stood up, Xiu Yan approached her, lifting her onto his arm, stating, "Let’s go hunt, it will be dark soon."
Ji Nuan looked up, true to his words, the sun was already on its slow journey back home.
By the edge of the forest, some ferocious beasts were already peeping out, ready to pounce.
Xiu Yan placed Ji Nuan on a big and sturdy tree and carefully instructed her, "Stay here and wait for us, don’t move around, be careful not to fall. I’ll be back soon."
Ji Nuan casually pushed his face away with her hand, "Alright, alright, get going already!"
Her voice was full of resignation, why was this aloof beast-man becoming more annoyingly chatty?
A bit miffed, Xiu Yan along with Ying Yan and the others left their baskets by the robust tree trunk and moved towards the scattered beasts by the border.
Ji Nuan watched from atop the tree as the others provoked the beasts, clutching her robe anxiously.
