Chapter 142 Return to the Beast World

A month passed quickly.

Today is the day Yuanyuan returns to the Beast World. She has filled her space with lots and lots of salt, as well as different food seeds.

The most abundant items were wheat and rice seeds, along with commonly used auxiliary tools.

This time, Zhang Cheng, Chen Youwei, and Su Xue, three elite special forces soldiers, were also traveling together.

The baby saber-toothed tiger had just undergone surgery and was in poor health, so it could only be observed in the research lab.

When Yuanyuan went to say goodbye to it, it was very reluctant and uneasy. It took her a long time to comfort it before it nodded slightly.

Yuanyuan thought that since they were going to the desert, Yu Na, being a mermaid, might not be able to adapt, so she asked him if he wanted to stay at the Forestry Bureau.

She'll be back in about a month.

Fish thought about it and agreed.

Everyone at the Forestry Bureau treated him very well, and he learned a lot there.

...

The teleportation went smoothly, and the teleportation landed near the Sandy Moju tribe.

Before me stretched an endless desert, the golden sand scorching under the sun, with undulating dunes in the distance.

The sky was a brilliant blue without a single cloud.

They had only been standing there for a few minutes when they were sweating profusely from the heat.

The little wolf poked its head out of Yuanyuan's backpack, took a breath of hot air, then let out a "howl" and withdrew, its paws gripping the backpack opening, refusing to come out no matter what.

"Ugh...it's so hot! I don't want to be here, I want to go back and turn on the air conditioning!"

Yuanyuan: "..."

Xiao Bai was very excited. He jumped off Zhang Cheng's hands and ran around the sand twice.

"It's a bit hot, but the smell here is so familiar!"

"Xiao Bai, why does this seem familiar? Have you been here before?"

Xiao Bai shook his head. "No, I smelled flames."

"..."

"It's probably the tribe lighting a fire."

Xiao Bai shook his head. It wasn't the smell of firewood, it was the smell of flames.

Chen Youwei, Zhang Cheng, and Su Xue quickly scanned their surroundings, their eyes wary.

Su Xue took out binoculars from her backpack, looked at them for a moment, and said:

"There is an oasis about five kilometers to the northwest."

"Very good!"

Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she tugged at the strap of her backpack. "Let's hurry up, it should be the oasis next to Father's tribe!"

Knowing they were coming to the desert, they wore sand-proof boots and sun-protective clothing, specially designed so the sand wouldn't burn their feet.

But the sun was scorching, and it was very hot.

Yuanyuan's face quickly turned rosy, and fine beads of sweat soon appeared on her forehead.

Even the fur on Xiaobai's body was soaked with sweat and stuck to its skin.

The little wolf didn't want to get off the ground, but it was even hotter inside the backpack.

Finally, he reluctantly jumped down, only to be startled and jump back in surprise by the sudden burn.

Seeing that Yuanyuan was sweating profusely, Chen Youwei took out a water bottle from his backpack, unscrewed it, and handed it to Yuanyuan: "Drink some cool boiled water, it will make you feel better."

Yuanyuan took it and drank two big gulps. The cool water slid down her throat, making her feel much better.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

She handed the kettle back, then took out a bottle of water from her spatial storage and put it in a bowl for Little White and the others when it was time.

Chen Youwei and the other two were former special forces soldiers. They walked quickly and steadily, and even on the soft sand, they didn't have to exert much effort.

Yuanyuan was next to her. At first, she could keep up, but after walking for a while, her legs felt heavy and her speed slowed down. More importantly, the sand was so hot that she could feel it even through her sand boots.

He sighed inwardly; the desert was indeed not for him.

"Let me carry you on my back." Zhang Cheng stopped and bent down in front of Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan shook her head, "No need, Uncle Zhang, I can do it!"

She gritted her teeth and took a few more steps forward.

Walking in the desert is difficult enough, and she is not light either; carrying her would only make it more difficult.

Just then, the little wolf suddenly howled towards the front.

"Awooo—"

The sound was loud, and you could tell it was very excited.

Yuanyuan looked up and saw several figures running down the sand dunes in the distance. They were all orcs dressed in animal skins, tall and with healthy wheat-colored skin.

They were extremely fast, and the one in the lead was particularly tall and straight. Yuanyuan had excellent eyesight and could see their faces clearly.

"It's Mo Jiu's father!"

Yuanyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and she took off running, shouting as she ran, "Father, I'm back!"

Mo Jiu had already received a report from the tribe's orcs that an unfamiliar aura was approaching. After hearing the description, he had an idea and immediately led several orcs over.

Seeing that small figure in the distance, dressed in strange clothes, waving at him, his heart jumped and he quickened his pace.

"Yuanyuan!"

Mo Jiu's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

He ran up to her, picked her up, and held her tightly in his arms.

"I thought something had happened to you."

The rainy season arrived early before he even returned to the sandy land.

Hearing that she was going to look for herbs in the deep forest, he thought she hadn't gone back. Just then, wild animals rioted, and he was worried that something had happened to her, so he searched for her for two days.

They came back because they couldn't find it.

How could that be?

"Father, do you miss me?"

Yuanyuan wrapped her arms around Mo Jiu's neck and looked up to ask.

Mo Jiu lowered his head, pinched her little nose, and felt the warm little body in his arms. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"I miss you, you heartless little devil."

"I miss you so much, and I brought you lots of nice things."

"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look."

Mo Jiu then noticed Zhang Cheng and the other two people standing to the side; they were all people he had met before.

"Why are they here too?"

"Father Mo Jiu, Uncle Zhang and the others are responsible for protecting my safety!"

Mo Jiu nodded to the group, "Since you're here, let's go into the tribe together!"

Zhang Cheng and the others nodded to him as a greeting.

They could sense the powerful aura emanating from Mo Jiu; he was not someone to be trifled with.

Their combat strength should be superior to theirs.

...

"Father, I brought back lots of good things!"

Back in her room in the tribe, Yuanyuan climbed down from Mojiu's arms and excitedly spoke.

With a wave of her hand, Yuanyuan brought ten bags of rice to the center of the room.

"This is the rice we ate in the big tribe last time. I guarantee that mine tastes much better than theirs."

Mo Jiu's eyes flickered slightly; he hadn't expected Yuan Yuan to actually bring it to him.

The last time I heard her say that he didn't take it seriously; such precious food isn't so easy to get.

My chest felt bloated and a little bitter; it was a hard feeling to describe.

He picked the little one up again and whispered his thanks.

"Thank you, Yuanyuan. Father likes it very much."

Yuanyuan pushed him, "Put me down quickly, there are still many things we haven't taken out!"

Mo Jiu's eyelashes trembled slightly. "There's more?"

"Of course, this is hardly enough."

"I also brought a lot of salt, as well as wheat and other seeds."

"seed?"

"Yes, didn't we agree last time that we would grow our own food?"

Mo Jiu touched his nose. He thought she was just saying it on a whim, but he didn't expect her to really remember it.

Her eyes welled up slightly, and her voice became hoarse, "Yes, Father remembers!"

"Now I've learned how to plant it, and I can teach you tomorrow. I asked my mentor, and the rainy season is the best time to plant wheat in the desert."

"If we plant them well, our tribe will be able to eat steamed buns and noodles in the future!"

"Exactly, why doesn't it rain here during the rainy season?"
