Chapter 1414: Chapter 1411: Won’t Mistreat You
She paused halfway through her sentence: "This includes the Beast God Fruit, which can enhance the orc level."
Seeing the two orcs’ eyes first ablaze and then anxious, Ji Nuan smiled: "The orcs from the Nomaden Tribe that I brought back from the Desert Continent have now become the first batch of tribesmen at our Eastern base along with the people of the former Bitter Tribe from the East Continent.
While in the East Continent, they helped me with many, many things, and several times almost lost their lives, so before leaving.
I gave two Beast God Fruits to each of the clan leaders, hoping you can also contribute more to the tribe.
As long as I see your achievements, I will not treat you unfairly."
The two clan leaders were instantly as excited as if they had been injected with Giggle Beast blood, as if their whole bodies were filled with energy.
Ji Nuan had already arranged everything necessary, and the females learned to cure salted meat.
The open spaces in the tribe had been cleared out, and everywhere there were racks full of the salted Gagabeast and salted Giggle Beast prepared by the females.
Beside the wall, there were many eggs of the Giggle Beast and Gagabeast being cured in green clay jars.
Dried fruit was also carefully stored in jars.
Amidst the busy preparations, the cold season finally arrived.
Ji Nuan nestled in Xiu Yan’s arms, watching the snowflakes falling gently to the ground: "It’s been two cold seasons since we last returned to the tribe, I wonder how the tribesmen are doing."
Xiu Yan’s firm chin nudged her head: "Feeling homesick?"
Ji Nuan nodded lightly: "Mm."
She looked up at Xiu Yan: "Let’s go back after this cold season. Anyway, we’ve traveled across several continents, and the base is established here. It’s not too late to explore the Red Mountain Forest and White Mountain Forest later."
Xiu Yan’s Adam’s apple quivered slightly, and a deep laugh spilled out: "We’ll do as Nuannuan says."
The first snow of the cold season fell intermittently for an entire month. After the heavy snow stopped, the orcs came out of the houses in twos and threes.
The little cubs rolled around mischievously in the snow, howling like little fur balls. Due to ample food, each was chubby and extremely cute.
The little furball Xiu Yan gave to Ji Nuan had grown into a half-grown youth, showing the ruggedness of his father and Amu.
Its cries had changed from the previous childish howls to a mature roar.
The diligent orcs, equipped with tools, began to clear the snow in the tribe. The snow was too thick, making it inconvenient to fetch food and fuel.
The entire base was filled with a lively scene.
At the same time, however, the Black Mountain Tribe appeared somewhat bleak. Ordinary tribesmen hugged each other, trying to absorb warmth from one another.
During lunch, each beast was able to get a palm-sized piece of frozen hard beast meat.
The little cubs and females couldn’t bite it, so the orcs pressed the meat against their bodies to warm it before passing it to them.
The Shaman and Hei Man sat in their cave, draped in thick Beast Skins.
"Has the snow outside stopped?" the old Shaman asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Hei Man wrapped himself tighter in his Beast Skin and nodded: "Yes, it stopped. We need to send the orcs out to clear the snow after lunch."
This cold season, any tribe that participated in battles had a tough time. Some small and medium-sized tribes without much foundation disappeared from this plain before the heavy snow had even stopped.
