CHAPTER 1291: CHAPTER 1290: DISCOVERING GOOD THINGS

"But Nuannuan, the fire inside is almost going out."

Ji Nuan chuckled lightly, "It won’t go out, you’ll see."

As time slowly passed, watching the Black Quicksand chunks in the fire pit gradually turn red, Xiu Yan felt numb. What on earth is this? No wonder Nuannuan just stopped me from adding firewood, it turns out to burn for so long without extinguishing.

How long is this thing going to burn, it’s almost dark already.

Meanwhile, Ji Nuan beside him was so happy that her smile almost reached her ears, "I knew it, hehe."

This is coal. Thinking about the vast Black Quicksand River outside, Ji Nuan felt like she was on cloud nine.

If they bring this back to the tribe, not only would it save a lot of firewood when smelting iron, but even staying warm during the cold season would be much more convenient.

And they wouldn’t have to get up frequently to add firewood, sleeping through the night would be pure bliss.

Though she hadn’t actually gotten up to add firewood during the cold season.

But thinking of the many uses of coal, Ji Nuan couldn’t help wishing she could transport the entire Black Quicksand River to their tribe’s territory.

Pulling open the tent flap and stepping out, Ji Nuan looked at the Black Quicksand River in front of her, her face full of affection, nearly making the onlooking Luo Gan and Harry orcs think she was possessed by something filthy.

"Shaman Ji Nuan, have you thought of a good solution?"

Ji Nuan nodded, "The Black Quicksand River suddenly igniting must be due to the scorching midday sun, so it seems we’ll have to wait till it’s not so hot to cross."

So they needed time to observe just how long the black quicksand burns.

Most importantly, they didn’t know the distance between both banks of the Black Quicksand River. If they haven’t crossed and it reignites, they’d be in serious trouble.

"Tomorrow Brother Xiu Yan and I will fly up to see how wide the Black Quicksand River is, to estimate how long it will take us to crawl across."

Harry nodded, "This is indeed crucial, after all, Xiu Yan is the only orc capable of flying in the group."

If blocked on the road, there’d be no saving them.

At night, back in the tent, Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan lay snuggled under their blanket.

Stroking the hair of the little female in his arms, Xiu Yan looked down at her, "Nuannuan, why not just let me fly them across, it would be much easier in my juvenile form."

Xiu Yan smiled, glancing at him, "If we do everything for them, what will they do? We can take them across once, but the next time, who will guide them? Letting them pass on their own, they’ll know how arduous it is.

If we don’t let them face it, who knows, they might even complain about your flying speed."

Xiu Yan’s low laughter echoed in his chest, "I’m worried you’re working too hard."

Ji Nuan snuggled against his chest, quietly sharing with him the uses she discovered for the Black Quicksand.

Xiu Yan’s pupils contracted slightly, gazing at the little female in his arms, "If that’s the case, our desert base must be established."

Ji Nuan nodded, "Once we’re back from this journey, we’ll start working on it, having Luo Gan and them stay here was planning for building the base later."

After chatting for a while, the two finally drifted off to sleep.
