In earlier years, this tributary of the seawater was probably larger, but the accumulation of mud and other debris on both sides over the years directly limited the amount of seawater available for irrigation.

As a result, the growth rate of this sea of ​​stones is also limited, and it now occupies a large area in sight...

As Valina walked, she explained to Maoduo, "Many people know about this place, but they think the stones are salty and useless. They also think the land here is unsuitable for growing anything, so they don't come here."

The only thing that can attract people is to see these tributaries of the sea and the marine life that is occasionally washed ashore, making people yearn for the scenery and uniqueness of the sea.

CatDodo carefully examined the salt stones. She looked at several, and Waliba followed closely behind, curiously asking CatDodo what kind of salt stone she wanted.

"Well, I've been thinking about it too. The main thing is, with so many options all at once, I don't know which one to choose."

After thinking it over, Maoduo finally brought one that she could hold without getting tired.

Seeing her like this, Valina also curiously put one on.

The two of them went back together, chatting and laughing. Valina and her partner were skilled hunters and knew the area well. They recounted their hunting experiences along the way, and Cat Dodo listened as if she were there herself, admiring them even more.

"Valina, you guys are amazing!"

"Hehehe, you can do it too."

Valina spoke sincerely; she rarely saw an orc like CatDodo who could keep up with her. After all, CatDodo was renowned for her speed.

Upon hearing this, three words immediately popped into Maoduo's mind: Ferghana horse!

It was very difficult for her to catch up with Valina, but she thought it was just normal speed. Goodness, could Valina be an Akhal-Teke horse?

The two returned while they were talking. By then, the children had already dug a hole in the ground and put a few fish in it.

When they saw Maoduoduo return, they excitedly exclaimed, "Mommy, look! We caught so many fish!"

"Is it true? Let me see." Maoduoduo quickly put down the salt stone, came over to take a look, and was quite surprised to find that there were five big fat fish in the pit, each weighing at least two pounds.

The way she looked at the three children changed.

The kittens weren't stupid; they realized what Mao Duoduo was looking at, and they were overjoyed.

Especially Snake 3—

"Mother, you must praise me properly."

Snake Three patted its little chest, extremely proud, "Big Brother and Second Brother always fish for those small fish. I'm the smartest; I just use my tail to grab an earthworm and hook it into the water..."

Alright, Snake Three's clever move was to act as bait himself, which naturally attracted quite a few big fish.

Upon hearing this, Maoduo's lips twitched. What kind of clever brain is this?

"Idiot, Snake Three!" Snake One and Snake Two immediately turned pale and glared angrily at Snake Three.

Snake Three looked at the sky and the ground, but not at his two elder brothers, feeling extremely guilty.

Valina couldn't help but laugh, "You guys are really funny, hahaha."

Cat Duo Duo sighed, only able to remind her, "You must never do such a stupid thing again."

The snake cubs all nodded, indicating that they would be obedient from now on. As for whether they would really be obedient, that was a matter of opinion and would depend on their actual performance.

Speechless, Maoduo simply took the salt stone and rubbed it on the large wooden stake, extracting a little bit of salt.

As she did this, she explained to Valina how to extract and use salt. Valina, in turn, imitated her.

At this moment, Snake Three came over and kept saying nice things, praising Cat Duoduo.

"Alright, stop bragging. Tell me, what do you want?" Mao Duoduo deliberately put on a stern face, but the smile in her eyes was hard to hide.

Snake Three reacted the fastest to this kind of thing, and was very happy. He said directly, "Mother, I want to eat the steamed egg custard from last time."

He was full of anticipation, blinking his eyes, and would subconsciously respond when called "Cat Dodo." It was only when Valina's voice called "Cat Dodo" from the side that he remained rational.

Goodness, she couldn't just agree to that. With outsiders present, she couldn't possibly take out so many eggs at once.

Immediately, CatDodo coughed and said, "You can eat, but we need enough eggs."

"No problem. We'll find it." Snake Three was overjoyed and quickly went to inform his two older brothers.

Soon, the three little ones came over and looked at them expectantly.

CatDodo then looked at Valina, who smiled and said, "I'll help too."

"Thank you for your help."

CatDodo still really likes Valina.

The other party is quite skilled and knows a lot of stories.

She simply said she needed eggs, and Valina could immediately tell her the locations of animals with eggs nearby. Thanks to Valina, the human GPS navigator, CatDodo and the others didn't waste time and quickly found their target—the Chichi Chicken.

It was a towering tree, the largest in the forest.

Importantly, there was a nest on the branch. When the cat looked up carefully, it saw several chicks that looked very much like the chickens that humans often eat, incubating their eggs in the nest.

She perked up and nodded repeatedly, "This is it."

"But this doesn't taste good," Valina said doubtfully. "I've tried it before, and it tastes awful."

She shook her head repeatedly, saying that she and her partner had once hunted and obtained this meat. She was extremely upset at the time. Not only were there too many chicken feathers, making it difficult to process, but more importantly, the meat did not have the freshness and sweetness of other animals, which made her feel like she had lost out.

"No, that's not right. My mother makes them really well, we can eat lots and lots of chicken in one go," Snake Three said with utmost seriousness.

"If it was Dodo who did it, maybe." Valina was skeptical, so she simply teamed up with Dodo the cat to catch it.

The chirping chickens in this world still survive in the wild, and their fighting ability is quite strong.

Cat Duoduo and Valina put in a lot of effort to catch the squeaky chicken, while the little ones took the opportunity to catch eggs.

As CatDodo and Valina attacked from both sides and successfully snapped Chichi Chicken's neck, the little ones reported the good news, "Mommy, there are twelve eggs here!"

Snake Three was the most excited. It was wrapped around the tree and hanging upside down, constantly saying "egg custard, egg custard."

This sight left Mao Duoduo both amused and exasperated. She repeatedly emphasized that she could make steamed egg custard before Snake Three finally came down.

They had a very fruitful trip and returned home with many things.

"Are you sure this is safe to eat?" Valina asked curiously as Maoduo set out the stone pot to boil water.

“Yes, you believe me.” Cat Dodo smiled and picked up another stone pot to start extracting salt from the rock. She even taught Valina how to do it.

Valina was somewhat surprised to see that the salt stone had turned into some white salt. "How did such a large salt stone become so small?"
