CatDodo gritted her teeth and decided to remain a regular stranger, ignoring her and not trying to please her.

Since both teams harbored resentment and had argued, they naturally wouldn't exchange many words even if they met on the road ahead.

As they continued further north, the vegetation and climate along the way deteriorated significantly. Rabbit Spirit couldn't adapt and complained bitterly, almost pointing at Cat Duo Duo and implying that someone had deliberately used some secret method to bring her to such a place.

Mao Duoduo completely ignored all of this. What a joke! Why should she fight alongside such a pretentious person? Anyway, Bao Lie was wholeheartedly coaxing Tu Ling'er. The two of them were a match made in heaven.

She changed the subject, telling the snake cubs to focus on studying the things on the road, storing food and water. So when they reached the edge of the desert, CatDodo suggested resting, "It won't be convenient to find water once we're inside, so let's make some water bags first."

"Okay, Mother." The cubs treated this activity as a way to prove their abilities, excitedly busying themselves. Snake Rong simply stored food and used the recipe taught by Cat Duoduo to make jerky.

Taking advantage of this moment, Maoduo pretended to make a water storage bag out of animal hides. When no one was paying attention, he took out waterproof and evaporating material from his space and made his own version.

Even if this animal hide does have some use, it is still not as suitable as materials made with modern technology.

Practice makes perfect, and Mao Duoduo's transformation was rapid. He glanced casually at Tu Ling'er's side, and wow, Tu Ling'er remained motionless, simply directing Bao Lie to do his work.

Fine, let them do whatever they want. Cat Duoduo secretly took out the bucket again, filled it with some water and put it in her space. After calculating that it was enough for their family of five, she finally let go.

This preparation took two whole days, and Rabbit Spirit couldn't help but complain, constantly making veiled accusations, almost pointing fingers at Cat Duoduo.

Fine, the more the other party tries to do this, the more Maoduo insists on telling everyone to make preparations.

She simply told the babies to take a good bath, so that they wouldn't have time to deal with personal hygiene issues while they were in the desert for too long.

Once everything was in place, when it got too cool, CatDodo and his group, equipped with gear, entered the desert. Almost as soon as they set off, RabbitLing'er and LeopardFierce quickly followed.

Since it was a vast desert and it was difficult to discern directions, Rabbit Spirit and Cat Duoduo stayed close by to avoid any danger.

After walking in the desert for less than a day, Rabbit Spirit kept complaining. One minute she said she was tired and had bumped into something, and the next she said she was going to die from the sun. She kept finding reasons to rest.

Cat Duoduo was speechless, but she finally figured out the law in the book and knew that the protagonist would not leave easily. She also decided to give up and said, "If you really feel tired, then don't follow me."

After she finished speaking, she told the Snake Rong and the others to leave without any politeness. The Snake Rong and their snake cubs were surprised to see Cat Duoduo's cool scene, but they still followed her.

Rabbit Spirit was furious at the sight, stomping her feet incessantly, "What's going on? Do you really think I have to follow you?"

“…Enough, Ling’er.” Leopard Lie, who had been silent and seemed to be indulging Rabbit Ling’er, couldn’t help but call out to her, “What exactly do you want to do? Stop complaining.”

"Leopard Fierce, you don't mean you're disgusted with me, do you?" Rabbit Spirit's face fell, a hint of displeasure appearing on her pretty face. Normally, this look would make Leopard Fierce feel sorry for her and do anything for her.

However, even someone like Leopard Lie couldn't withstand the other party's spoiled and reckless behavior all the way.

Even though everyone was already in such a harsh place as the desert, and talking would make their mouths dry, Rabbit Spirit still kept causing trouble.

"I won't give up on you, but I don't want to see you continue like this." Leopard said this and walked straight ahead.

Rabbit Spirit was furious as she watched the other person's figure. What was going on? Did Leopard Lie's heart belong to Cat Duoduo? No way, he would never be interested in Cat Duoduo.

But the other party wouldn't help her at all! She was furious. What had she been doing all this way for...?

Rabbit Spirit felt genuinely wronged, and even followed along while crying, her heart filled with unhappiness. If she had known why she had to follow Cat Duoduo and his group, she would have said so already. But the feeling that she had to keep up with them really annoyed Rabbit Spirit.

They hadn't walked far when it was almost dusk. Leopard couldn't help but turn back and see Rabbit Spirit's aggrieved look. He sighed inwardly and went up to Cat Duoduo and the others to offer their suggestions.

"It's getting late, let's go into a cave and rest for a while."

Maoduo was still hesitant, mainly because she glanced at the symbol she had drawn, which showed that they had been gone for several days. Just then, she caught a glimpse of Zaizai's listless expression.

The snake-like creature seemed to be able to hold on, and even had the energy to let a few snake cubs lie on its body to catch their breath.

Even so, the heat was unbearable for the little ones, who felt like they were turning into dried-out snakeskin even while constantly drinking honey water.

I'm completely out of energy right now and have no desire to greet Maoduo at all...

"Forget it," Maoduo sighed inwardly, and suggested, "Let's find somewhere to hide."

“Okay.” She Rong nodded.

If you really want to find it, you can find the cave. After dividing into different areas, the two groups quickly settled down. They were sheltered from the sun here and were able to catch their breath, finally feeling alive again.

As night fell, a sandstorm swept across the desert, leaving Maoduo, who happened to catch a glimpse of it, questioning his existence. Good heavens, is it that big? This is enough power to sweep away an entire tribe!

The snake cubs, who had finally recovered, were also dumbfounded and repeatedly said that they would not wander around at night in the future.

"While that statement is true, it seems inappropriate to use it here."

Even so, the snake cubs, accompanied by Snake Rong and Cat Duoduo, often saw dangers lurking outside during the night.

Sandstorms, tornadoes, and even desert lizards at night—the sights were truly breathtaking. Enjoying the prepared jerky and honey water added a unique kind of fun.

As for Rabbit Spirit, who was resting on the other side, she pouted, looking down on Cat Duoduo and the others' actions. She then unceremoniously snuggled into Leopard Lie's arms, insisting that he apologize to her.

What's going on? Her mother always said that to keep a man under your control, you can't let him get out of your control. She was still very dissatisfied with Bao Lie's previous behavior.
