CHAPTER 1279: CHAPTER 1278: CURRENCY

Ji Nuan glanced at the suddenly mischievous old Shaman, somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "I’m afraid I can’t journey for that long, haha."

After saying that, she seriously looked at the old Orc and Clan Leader Mogor: "Even if I can’t establish this base in the future, I will still bring medicine powder to trade with everyone.

Of course, if your tribe ever comes to our continent, be sure to visit us in the Nia Mountain Forest and the Eneru Mountain Forest with the Watson Tribe. I will definitely host you well."

After saying this, she took a bracelet made of green clay beads from the small beast skin pouch at her waist and handed it to the old Shaman.

"This is the currency used for trading in our tribe. One bead is equivalent to a certain amount of prey, and it only exists in our tribe. If that day truly comes and you visit the Watson Tribe, show this, and the tribespeople will understand."

The old Shaman rubbed the smooth, warm green bead in his hand, feeling touched inside.

"I don’t have the chance, but our tribe will always nurture a Shaman and Orc capable of journeying out."

Looking at their expressions, Ji Nuan sighed as well. Only they knew how many dangers they had encountered along the way.

Thinking of this, she took out a piece of beast skin she had placed in her arms: "Look at this."

The beasts looked at the small piece of beast skin in front of them, somewhat puzzled. It had black lines and some strange symbols on it.

"This is the map we created along the way," Ji Nuan explained.

"A map? What is that?" The old Shaman and others had never heard of such a thing.

Ji Nuan smiled and pointed at a spot on the map: "This here is the Saint Fei Oasis."

The beasts held their breath at her words, concentrating on that spot, but...

Despite looking for so long, it was still just a small black dot, nothing changed.

Seeing their bewildered expressions, Ji Nuan burst into laughter and stopped teasing them: "This is where I’ve marked the location of the Saint Fei Oasis."

Then she pointed to another dot not far away: "This is where the Sahara Tribe is located, and our continent’s location..."

She pointed to a dot further back: "It’s here. When you journey in the future, as long as you head in this direction, you’ll reach a high mountain. Cross over it, and you’ll arrive at our continent."

The old Shaman carefully put away the beast skin, believing that their tribe would eventually have a Shaman capable of journeying out.

Ji Nuan did not teach them her method of discerning directions.

Because the Orcs of the desert all have their unique methods of orientation.

Early the next morning, Ji Nuan and the others got up early, and the Nomadic Orcs diligently packed their belongings, ready to set off.

The old Shaman and Clan Leader Mogor came out to see them off for a distance before turning back.

There was already another dot on the map in Ji Nuan’s hand, marking the location of the Black Quicksand she inquired from the old Shaman.

She had already marked the position on the map yesterday, so she wouldn’t worry about getting lost.

The journey was very calm; it seemed the closer they got to the fabled Land of Death, the Black Quicksand, the less prey they encountered.

And now, not even the tiny insects that often appeared in the desert could be seen.

Ji Nuan thought for a moment and had the Orcs stop: "We’ll rest here for today."
