Chapter 426: Trouble
"Xiu Yan, why are you flying so fast? Is there anything delicious up there?" Bosen jumped down from the basket on Yingyan's chest and shook off the snowflakes on his body.
Ji Nuan smiled and said, "It's because I'm a little cold, so Brother Xiu Yan came up quickly."
Bosen twitched his lips. Well, there was no way to refute this reason.
Dashi and the flying beastmen of the Grizzly Bear tribe carried a few more beastmen up and sat on the top of the cliff to rest, looking a little tired. Ji Nuan looked at the purple arms and shoulders of Yingyan and the other beastmen due to overloading, and felt very worried. If they continued like this, they would either get frostbite or be injured from overexerting themselves.
"Chief, we caught a snow beast!" The shouts of the beastmen came from the snow forest not far away, and Chief Xiong's eyes were full of joy.
Since they had climbed the Enel Mountains a few days ago, they had been eating jerky and had not had any fresh prey.
The figures of several beastmen in the distance were getting closer and closer, but the expression of Chief Bear suddenly turned ugly when they approached. He said in a stern voice: "Didn't I tell you that you can only bring them back if you make sure they are not injured?"
Faced with the sudden anger of their chief, several young orcs were at a loss as to what to do and just stood there stupidly.
Several older beastmen behind Big Bear hurried forward, took the still bleeding prey from their hands, and buried it in the snow.
An orc reached out and peeled off the skins of several cubs, and said urgently: "Go and use the snow water to clean the blood off your bodies, quickly!"
Ji Nuan and the other beasts looked at their series of actions and were quite confused.
The beastman guarding the edge of the forest suddenly turned grim and turned to run over here: "Prepare for battle, the ice vine is coming."
As the beastmen’s shouts died down, Ji Nuan finally saw the blue-green plants that were rapidly approaching the beasts. Each plant was as thick as a beastman’s thigh, and the leaves were dark blue, which was very beautiful.
The blue-green ice vines surged towards the beasts, and the first one actually directly opened the place where the prey had just been buried, and wrapped up the snow beast's corpse. The vine seemed to have accomplished its mission and quickly retreated.
The remaining vines all rushed towards the surrounding orcs. The ones who were most cared for by these ice vines were of course the young orcs with blood still on their bodies.
"A few of you stay here and hold back these ice vines." Big Bear commanded the orcs of the Grizzly Bear Tribe.
Then he turned to look at Xiu Yan and the other beasts: "Please come with me to the back and cut off the roots of the ice vines. Otherwise, I'm afraid all of us beastmen will die here."
Xiu Yan and the other beasts nodded in unison: "Okay."
Ji Nuan stood aside, while Fu Yi and Ya Li were still protecting her in camouflage and did not leave.
The strange thing was that no matter how fierce the battle nearby was, the vines seemed to be unable to sense Ji Nuan. Even if they passed by her, they would not touch her.
Once or twice it could be considered a coincidence, but when an orc accidentally fell under her feet and those ice vines continued to attack the orc without paying any attention to her, Ji Nuan knew that this was definitely not a coincidence.
She looked at the beastmen in front of her who were trying their best to resist and protect themselves, and said loudly: "Don't worry about me, just protect yourself, these vines will not attack me."
