Time, like fine sand in an hourglass, slips away quietly, second by second.

During this time, Jiang An quickly prepared all kinds of side dishes, while the little turtle next to him showed amazing speed and agility, cracking hundreds of eggs in the blink of an eye.

"Mission accomplished!" Jiang Anxin patted the little turtle's hard shell with satisfaction, a bright smile on her face.

At this point, all the preliminary preparations have been successfully completed, and it's time to truly showcase your skills.

Time flies, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma as one delicious dish after another was cooked.

Jiang An skillfully stored the carefully prepared food into his storage ring, then turned to the little turtle and called out, "Alright, we can set off now, little turtle!"

Before she finished speaking, she reached out and scooped the little turtle into her arms, picked up the travel gear she had prepared, put it on, and stepped out of the safe house without hesitation, heading towards the outside world.

The moment her feet touched the ground, Jiang An gently waved her finger, and the safe house that had been standing there instantly turned into a beam of light, which she then stored in the light screen she carried with her.

Then, she rushed straight to the banks of the Shahe River.

Upon arriving at his destination, Jiang An bent down, gripped the fishing nets soaking in the river with both hands, and pulled hard. The nets slowly floated to the surface like obedient children.

During this process, you can not only see the Wuling fish trapped in the net struggling desperately, but you can also occasionally find strange fish coming to steal the Wuling fish.

However, for the experienced Jiang An, dealing with these uninvited guests was a piece of cake. She swiftly and cleanly dealt with them all.

Just then, the little turtle, which had been quietly nestled in Jiang An's arms, suddenly poked its head out, tilted its head back, blinked its round eyes, and asked, "Mommy, how much longer until we reach our destination?"

It was clear that the long journey was becoming increasingly difficult for the little guy to endure.

"Almost there, baby, just bear with it a little longer!" Jiang An said softly as she quickly reached out and gently but firmly pressed the little turtle's head into her pocket.

She parted her lips slightly and said, seemingly nonchalantly, "Almost there!" But in stark contrast, her pace quickened involuntarily.

There's really no other way!

The ice crystals originally intended for cooling have all been used up. If the little guy continues to be outside like this, he will suffer without the protection of the ice crystals.

It was for this reason that Jiang An made the resolute decision to move to that mysterious cave deep in the Shahe River.

After all, it's relatively cooler and more pleasant there, which can better ensure the safety and comfort of the little turtles.

Time flies like an arrow; it passes in the blink of an eye.

Just as Jiang An was extremely anxious, a familiar mark suddenly caught her eye not far ahead.

In an instant, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her tense face, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards, outlining a beautiful arc.

Without hesitation, Jiang An leaped into the air, like a light and agile bird, and plunged straight into the sandy river with a "plop".

With a crisp, melodious splash of water, Jiang An instantly disappeared into the sandy river.

It turned out that the mark that made her feel so close was one she had left herself, with the purpose of finding this place accurately in the vast desert.

"Haha, we've finally arrived!" Looking at the seemingly endless, unfathomable entrance to the passage before him, Jiang An couldn't help but cheer.

"Little turtle, we've arrived!"

"Gurgle~ Gurgle~ Mommy, I can feel it, it's so comfortable here!"

The cheerful voice of the little turtle echoed in Jiang An's mind.

"Let's go~"

Jiang An walked lightly into the dimly lit passage.
