CHAPTER 1281: CHAPTER 1280: IS THE DIRECTION WRONG?

Ji Nuan was also a bit frustrated. They had left Saint Fei Oasis nearly a month ago, traveling tirelessly along the way without any hindrance. By right, they should be close to Black Quicksand by now.

Yet, as far as the eye could see, it was still a stretch of golden sand with not a hint of black.

This made Ji Nuan doubt whether they had gone in the wrong direction.

The desert night was very quiet, with only a gentle breeze blowing. The patrolling orcs wore thick beast skin clothing.

Nights in the desert were not so pleasant; the temperature dropped drastically.

Inside the tent, Ji Nuan was looking at the map in a book: "Where exactly did we go wrong?"

"Maybe it’s not a problem with our direction. The Black Quicksand might be hidden somewhere more secretive, and we can’t see it. Let’s look carefully again tomorrow," Xiu Yan’s voice sounded beside her.

Ji Nuan was startled by his words, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just checked. If we followed the direction the two shamans provided, we are not wrong. That leaves only this possibility.

Let’s search thoroughly tomorrow."

Xiu Yan pulled her into his arms, resting her head against his chest: "If we can’t find it, we’ll go to Cabran Oasis and get an orc to take us there."

With Xiu Yan saying this, the pressure in Ji Nuan’s heart eased considerably.

She nestled in his embrace and gradually drifted into slumber.

The next day, the orcs resumed their search for the Black Quicksand. Xiu Yan even flew into the air, yet still found nothing.

"Shaman, why don’t we split up to search?" Luo Gan suddenly suggested.

Continuing to search this way, they feared their food supply wouldn’t last long.

There was nowhere to replenish supplies here, and if they ran out, they would be in danger.

Ji Nuan looked at him: "If we split up, then I will go with Shaman Harry, and the rest of you will be divided into two groups."

Luo Gan nodded: "Of course. If we find the Black Quicksand, how should we notify you?"

After thinking for a moment, Ji Nuan turned to Harry: "Shaman Harry, you set up camp here and wait. We will go out to search, and everyone must return here before dinner time."

The orcs nodded: "Yes, Shaman."

Immediately, the orcs divided into three groups and set off, with Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan forming their own group. Being skilled and brave, the two beasts were much more confident than the other orcs.

Meanwhile, the nomadic orcs were led by Luo Gan and the previously thin military leader, searching in different directions.

"Chief, when are we leaving?" an orc suddenly sidled up to Luo Gan and asked.

Luo Gan, who was observing the surroundings, froze and looked darkly at the orc: "Leave?"

The orc nodded: "Didn’t you propose splitting up to lead the brothers in escaping? Once we’re away from that shaman, we can do whatever we want."

Luo Gan let out a cold laugh, a raspy sound that made the orc feel as though a sand snake was coiled around his neck.

"I’ve never planned to escape; anyone of you thinking about running should remember the poison in your belly, and then my methods."

With that, he looked at the now thoroughly frightened orc: "You still have so many thoughts, if I find out you have any more ideas like that, you’ll never eat a warm meal again."
