Chapter 345 Qian Jingyao Volunteers
Qian Jingyao listened intently, muttering silently: "Treasure? Storing water... transporting water..."
"Hey, hey, Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Yue was extremely anxious. She didn't expect that Qian Jingyao was like a possessed person, repeating the same thing over and over again just because she said a few unrealistic things. As a result, Qian Jingyao seemed not to hear what she said later.
This scared Xia Yueke, and she kept pushing Qian Jingyao.
Qian Jingyao suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes gleaming with a bright light, "Keke, you are really my lucky star! I know, I know there is something that can do this!"
Qian Jingyao said this, slapping his head in frustration, "Why didn't I think of this earlier? I'm so stupid!"
Xia Yue was confused by Qian Jingyao. "What's wrong? I was just kidding. Is there really such a treasure?"
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up. This was simply too fantastic.
Qian Jingyao nodded affirmatively, "It's a treasure of the sea tribe. It's very rare, but it's not uncommon. I heard about it from those orcs who came to our tribe to exchange supplies by land and sea."
"What they said was so outlandish that I was half-believing and half-doubting. But their leader actually got that treasure and released a lot of water right in front of me. It was all clean water. I heard he had to work hard to get it. He said that thing could hold so much water, enough for the entire tribe to use for half a year!"
Xia Yueke's eyes widened. "Is that true? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and look for them. If they are sea creatures, do we still need to go to the seaside? There's so much water there, we can collect it and purify it when the time comes!"
Qian Jingyao nodded and hurried away, "I'm going to discuss it with my father. Wait for my news!"
Xia Yueke quickly said, "Wait a minute, Yaoyao, what is the name of that treasure? It must have a name, right?"
Qian Jingyao frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Yue Jian Yan Bei!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
He stood on a high place in the tribe, looking at the cracked land in the distance, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He turned and walked towards the old patriarch's wooden house and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The old patriarch's voice came from inside the house.
Qian Jingyao pushed the door open and saw the old patriarch sitting by the fire, his brow furrowed. He walked forward and said respectfully, "Father, I have something to tell you."
The old patriarch raised his head and looked at Qian Jingyao: "What's the matter?"
Qian Jingyao took a deep breath and said firmly, "Father, I want to go to the seashore to look for the 'Moon-Seeing Salt Shell'. I once heard from traveling merchants that this shellfish can not only purify water, but also store a lot of water. If we can find it, perhaps we can solve the tribe's water problem."
The old patriarch was silent for a moment, a complex look flashing in his eyes. "Perhaps this is just fake? Those traveling merchants are very cunning. They just deliberately make such amazing claims to trick you into buying their goods."
Qian Jingyao shook his head firmly. "That's impossible! Those people released a lot of water right in front of me, filling up several large vats. They can't be lying! No matter what, I'm going to give it a try!"
The old patriarch looked at Qian Jingyao's resolute expression and sighed, saying:
"Jingyao, do you know how dangerous the road to the seaside is? Besides, there are shark tribes and other powerful orc tribes on the seashore. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Qian Jingyao shook his head. "Father, I'm not afraid of danger. When I left the tribe, I caused them to suffer so much. This time, I must do something for the tribe. Besides, I'm no longer the same person I was back then. I have the ability to protect myself."
The old patriarch sighed and patted Qian Jingyao on the shoulder:
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, go ahead. But remember, safety first, don't force yourself."
Qian Jingyao returned home and told Xia Yueke his decision.
Xia Yueke stood up immediately after hearing this, her eyes full of worry: "No! The beach is too dangerous, you can't go alone!"
Qian Jingyao held Xia Yueke's hand and said softly:
"Keke, I know you're worried about me, but I have to go this time. The tribe's water problem can't be delayed any longer, otherwise none of us will be able to survive."
Xia Yueke shook her head and said firmly, "No! If you insist on going, then I want to go with you! I can't let you take risks alone!"
Luo Cihe also stood up and said coldly:
"Qian Jingyao, don't think you can be a hero alone. If you want to go to the beach, let's go together."
Langce grinned:
"If you go alone, the little fox will be worried sick and might even follow you secretly. It's better for you to go together. There won't be any accidents. At least we can discuss anything together!"
Qian Jingyao was speechless after hearing Lang Ce's words. It was true. Maybe Xia Yue was worried that he would follow her secretly, so it would be better for them to go together!
Qi'an and Long Xiaoyu also expressed their desire to go together.
Qian Jingyao looked at everyone, a touch of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Thank you. But this mission is very dangerous, I don't want you to take any risks."
Xia Yueke said firmly: "Qian Jingyao, we are partners and family. No matter how dangerous it is, we must face it together."
Soon, the matter was settled, and Qian Jingyao went to inform the old patriarch. The old patriarch was relieved but also worried when he learned that Xia Yueke and her friends would also go together.
He summoned the elders of the tribe to discuss countermeasures.
"Jingyao has decided to go to the beach to look for the 'Moon Viewing Salt Shell', and Xia Yueke and her companions are also going with him. What do you think?" asked the old patriarch.
The elders looked at each other in confusion, and finally the fox elder spoke up, "Chief, this mission is indeed dangerous, but if they can find the 'Moon-Seeing Salt Shell', the tribe's water problem will be solved. I support them going."
Another younger elder was slightly puzzled. "What is that thing? Can it save our tribe?"
The chief explained further, and the elder finally understood. "Okay, as long as it's for the tribe, we all agree!"
The other elders also nodded in agreement.
The old patriarch nodded, his tone heavy:
"Okay, that's settled. I'll send a few experienced orcs to escort them to the seashore and ensure their safety."
The day before departure, Xia Yueke and his companions began to prepare their luggage. They brought enough water and food, as well as some herbs and weapons in case of emergency.
However, what worries Xia Yue is that these two kids must not be taken with them. After all, it is not known whether there will be any danger this time!
Moreover, they went there with a mission. What if these two kids couldn't concentrate on the sea once they saw it and went there to play every day? Then they would have to distract themselves and keep an eye on them.
