Chapter 280 280 Encountering the Lotus Pond (1)

"I was just wondering what kind of tribe that would be." Xia Tian was really curious about what kind of existence a tribe composed entirely of orcs would be like.

"You'll know when you get there." Si Ye remained calm. "Don't worry about that."

Even a harsh person like him cannot find fault with a female like Xia Xia. Since she cares about everyone so much, the people in the tribe will definitely not have any opinions about her.

"Yeah, I see." Xia Tian replied calmly, "By the way, why hasn't it arrived yet after all this time?"

They set out from the cave early in the morning, and now the sun had fully risen, which meant they had already spent nearly two hours on the road.

According to her observation, the snow leopard's speed in the jungle was about 30 kilometers per hour. It had already run more than 50 kilometers, which was beyond the scope of a tribal territory.

"They all live on the edge of the territory, which is far away to begin with. The terrain gets more bizarre the further you go, so the road becomes more difficult." Si Ye thought the girl was feeling a little uncomfortable from the heat, so he stopped to rest. "We still have some distance to go. Do you want to stop and rest for a while?"

Xia Tian was thirsty from the sun, and thinking that Si Ye would have to take care of someone as big as her, it must be a tough job, so she agreed to the suggestion. "Let's take a break first. There's a stream up ahead, let's go drink some water before we continue on our way."

"There's some shade here. Wait for me here. I'll go get some water." Si Ye put her down and went to the river to get some water. He transformed into a human form and came back with the water in a large leaf. "Drink some water first."

The stream water is so clear that you can see the veins of the leaves underneath.

Xia Tian was now feeling dizzy from the heat, and didn't care whether the water was fresh or not. She drank most of it in small sips from the "leaf bowl" in the man's hand. Only then did she feel like she was alive again.

After she finished drinking, Si Ye took the leaf and drank the rest of the water without hesitation. He was about to throw the leaf away when the girl called out to him.

"Wait a minute, let me see the leaf in your hand." Xia Tian called him and moved over to reach for the leaf.

When she drank water just now, she was only focused on quenching her thirst and didn't notice that the leaf looked particularly familiar.

Look at it now: the rounded edges, the veins extending from the center, the delicate hairs on the leaf surface, and the hollow stem... isn't that a lotus leaf?!

"Where did you find this? Take me to see it." Xia Tian looked carefully at the leaf in her hand. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this was the lotus leaf on Earth.

If her guess was correct, then this time they had discovered a huge treasure.

"What do you want this leaf for?" Si Ye felt the girl seemed to have some creative ideas. "It's in the pond over there. I thought it would be suitable for holding water, so I picked one. If you want to see it, I can take you to see it right now."

"Okay, let's go now, and there's no need to wait to get to the tribe." Xia Tian recovered a little strength, stood up full of energy, and immediately pulled Si Ye to prepare to set off.

Si Ye had no objection and took the girl to the pond he mentioned.

Sure enough, a large patch of emerald green lotus leaves stood gracefully on the water, dotted with a few pink lotus flowers. It looked vibrant and full of the breath of summer.
