CHAPTER 1292: CHAPTER 1291: TARGETED

Before dawn the next day, Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan set off.

At this moment, Harry watched them gradually disappear from sight, with Ji Nuan’s words still echoing in his ears: "The orcs know we’re here now. You need to be more careful during patrols. Have Casa pay extra attention to the surroundings. We’ll come back once we’ve investigated thoroughly."

Were orcs targeting them?

After informing Casa of this, he seemed unsurprised, which quickly infuriated Harry: "So you also knew the orcs had been watching us for a while?"

Casa nodded: "They just observed for a little while and then slipped away. I think Xiu Yan and Shaman Ji Nuan probably know too, but since they didn’t react, I didn’t mention it either."

Harry looked at Casa, whose face showed sincere confusion, as if saying ’I don’t know what’s wrong.’ Feeling a tightness in his chest, he couldn’t shake the irritation.

He lifted his foot and kicked the orc, smirking as he walked away, seeing the orc’s bewildered expression.

Casa rubbed his thigh where he had been kicked, feeling the tingling sensation slowly spread across his body, making his eyes suddenly become dark.

Hmm, Shaman Harry might actually be pretty good...

Unaware of being observed, Harry cheerfully skewered a piece of jerky and roasted it over the fire, occasionally sniffing the aroma. His triumphant demeanor suggested he had accomplished something monumental.

Meanwhile, Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan were making excellent progress. The Black Quicksand below was like a treasure trove to Ji Nuan, feeling no danger at all.

"Brother Xiu Yan, look there." Ji Nuan was exceedingly excited, gazing at a small island ahead. It was incredible; who would have thought there was an island in the Black Quicksand River?

Though not very large...

Malnourished trees grew on the island.

It showed that when the Black Quicksand caught fire, it didn’t affect this area.

"We can use this as a resting point. If we can’t reach the other side, we can temporarily hide here."

Ji Nuan said excitedly.

Xiu Yan nodded: "Yes, let’s fly forward and see if we can reach the opposite shore of the Black Quicksand River."

After noting the island’s location, the two continued flying towards the other side, until noon, when smoke started rising from the Black Quicksand River, revealing...

A... vast... desert...

Why was the opposite shore of the Black Quicksand still a desert?

Ji Nuan’s expression soured: "Didn’t the old shaman say the other side of the Black Quicksand would be another continent? Why is it still a desert?"

Xiu Yan lifted her up, flapping his wings and flying into the sky: "Let’s go up and have a look."

Ji Nuan sat on Xiu Yan’s small arm, staring intently at the distant scenery.

"Brother Xiu Yan, higher." Suddenly, Ji Nuan’s eyes brightened. If she wasn’t mistaken, she seemed to spot a green line.

Indeed, as they ascended, the line gradually thickened but remained distant, as there was still quite a distance.

"Looks like we were right. We’ll need to travel a bit longer to reach the forest of the new continent." Knowing she was headed in the right direction, Ji Nuan felt much better.

Xiu Yan didn’t put her down, and a slight smile appeared on his stern face: "Shall we return now?"
