Chapter 598: Chapter 597, Danger_1
As soon as the old shaman saw her, his face grew even more hideous: "Do you remember me? Shaman Ji Nuan."
Ji Nuan squinted at him: "Of course I remember you, the shaman of the Serra Tribe."
The old shaman, seemingly enraged, roared, "I am no longer a shaman. Our Serra Tribe was occupied by the orcs of the Monte Tribe and I was driven out. I came to seek revenge on you."
He started to laugh lightly, "Why didn’t you treat our Serra tribesmen? If you had, not so many orcs of our tribe would have died and we wouldn’t have been defeated by the Monte Tribe. I wouldn’t have been exposed and driven out either.
All of this was your fault."
At that moment, Xiu Yan, who was standing with his back to the old shaman, swiftly snatched the Beast Fang pressed against his neck and kicked the old shaman into the Eneru River. With a scream, the old shaman’s figure caused a splash in the water, followed by a large spread of blood within the river.
Countless Beast-eating Fish jumped in the river, fighting over this hard-earned meal.
Ji Nuan quickly ran up to Xiu Yan and helped his falling body. However, in doing so, she was also pulled down to sit on the ground by the river.
"Brother Xiu Yan, how are you?" Ji Nuan held Xiu Yan.
"Xiu Yan has been bitten by a poisonous snake. He must be experiencing the snake’s venom." A tribesman said.
Ji Nuan quickly turned to the orc, "Snake venom? From what snake?"
The orc pointed to the lifeless black snake carcass not far away, "We haven’t seen such a snake before, but Ya Li seems to recognize it. I heard him call out the snake’s name."
Ji Nuan frowned. Ya Li was currently fighting with Bertel and couldn’t spare any attention.
"Bring me the black snake’s body." Ji Nuan said to a tribesman nearby.
When the orc brought the snake’s body over, she had him remove the Snake Gallbladder and held it up to Xiu Yan’s mouth, "Brother Xiu Yan, it’s me, Nuannuan. Open your mouth and swallow this. Once you swallow it, you’ll feel better."
Ji Nuan’s voice was very soft, like she was coaxing an unruly cub.
Xiu Yan slowly opened his cracked lips, and Ji Nuan hurriedly stuffed the Snake Gallbladder into his mouth.
Seeing that he was not swallowing it, she grew anxious, bit her lip, and pinched Xiu Yan’s nose shut. Unable to breathe, Xiu Yan swallowed the Snake Gallbladder.
Ji Nuan patted Xiu Yan’s chest and murmured in his ear, "Brother Xiu Yan, Nuannuan will stay with you."
"Move out of the way!" An anxious voice called out from behind. Ji Nuan was getting ready to turn around and look when she was shoved forward and fell to the ground.
Then she heard a splash. Ji Nuan quickly turned back to see only the longing in Xiu Yan’s eyes and the arm that had pushed her away.
"Brother Xiu Yan!!!" Ji Nuan was startled, and turned to plunge into the river but was held back by the orc: "Shaman Ji Nuan!"
At that moment, Ya Li was also helped over by the orcs: "Ji Nuan..."
Ji Nuan stared at the turbulent Eneru River, her face filled with disbelief, "Hurry and save Brother Xiu Yan, he fell into the river."
Seeing this unprecedented vulnerability and panic in Ji Nuan, the orcs were full of guilt.
Ya Li pursed his lips, "I’m sorry, Ji Nuan. It’s my fault. If I had killed Bertel outright, he wouldn’t have..."
