CHAPTER 1285: CHAPTER 1284: GET READY

With that said, he left to dismantle the tent and pack up their belongings, ready to leave at any moment.

When Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan returned, Harry and the others had already packed their belongings and were resting, leaning against the double-humped beasts.

Seeing them return, everyone approached excitedly, "Shaman Ji Nuan, is it the Black Quicksand?"

Ji Nuan smiled cheerfully, "Although we haven’t gone to see it, it should be unmistakable. Since everyone’s packed up, let’s go. We’ll rest there today and head to the Black Quicksand early tomorrow morning."

Harry and the other beasts were extremely happy, and even Casa, who usually didn’t show much expression, couldn’t help but reveal a relaxed smile.

Ji Nuan understood their feelings well. Orcs who were accustomed to living in the forest were truly not suited to the dry and water-scarce environment of the desert.

It was only normal for them to want to leave as soon as possible.

All the orcs mounted the double-humped beasts and followed Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan in the direction of Luo Gan and the others.

As Ji Nuan swayed on Maomao’s back, her thoughts had already drifted to some unknown place.

Xiu Yan drove Damao closer to Maomao, always guarding his daydreaming little companion.

When they arrived, Luo Gan and the others had already set up their tents, while Harry and the others went to see the so-called Black Quicksand first.

Upon learning that one had to stand at a specific spot to see the line of Black Quicksand, they clicked their tongues in amazement. This Beast World is vast indeed, full of surprises.

The orcs didn’t dawdle. After eating and organizing the patrols, they all entered dreamland, knowing that tomorrow was a crucial day and they needed to be well-rested to face unknown dangers.

The Black Quicksand being called a death trap in the desert wasn’t just hearsay.

Early the next morning, everyone was already up, and even Ji Nuan, who usually liked to stay in bed, was dressed and seated, gnawing on jerky.

After eating and drinking their fill, Luo Gan had long arranged for the orcs to feed the double-humped beasts. Everyone mounted their beasts and headed toward the black line they had seen before.

The Black Quicksand had only appeared as a thin black line before, suggesting it wasn’t very close to them.

But to Ji Nuan and the others’ surprise, by afternoon, they found themselves standing before a flowing black sand river.

Looking at the vast black sand river before them, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but frown—what on earth was this?

To call it sand, yet it could flow, like a river with a slower current.

But to say it was water...

This thing appeared like a dead swamp devoid of any life.

After observing for a long time, no one could discern what it truly was, sparking discussions among them.

"Step back some, let’s set up camp first. I need some time to study this Black Quicksand."

The orcs sighed with relief, still worried that Ji Nuan might have them test the dangers of the Black Quicksand.

Ji Nuan donned the black Snake Slough Gloves and took a plank from Maomao’s back basket, walking towards the edge of the Black Quicksand with Xiu Yan.

"Shaman Ji Nuan, what are you going to do?" Harry’s voice suddenly came from behind. Ji Nuan turned to see him and Casa following them.

"I’m just going up ahead to take a look."
