The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 252 Arrival at the Blood Sand Tribe

No matter how much pain Qingshui was in, the people of the three tribes couldn't help but smile with joy after receiving the rabbits and vegetables, even though they knew they were given by the enemy.

The Sandmen, especially those without oases, must be prepared to risk their lives for food every day.

The desert is a harsh and unforgiving land where one must survive in dire circumstances.

How could they not be happy and joyful when they saw such abundant food? It meant that no family would lose its pillar today, and no one in the tribe would die.

"Grandpa, what's this?" A child asked, biting his finger as he looked at the fresh, lush plants, basket after basket.

"This must be a vegetable, a vegetable that can only be found in an oasis!" The old man held up a cabbage with trembling hands.

"Ouch."

Everyone was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

A girl is holding a long, orange vegetable with blood on it, and a tooth is lying in her outstretched palm.

"Hahaha!" The adults burst into laughter.

The little girl's parents reached out and ruffled her hair, both scolding and happy.

"No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!" the boys laughed.

"Losing baby teeth, losing baby teeth!" the girl angrily waved the carrot in her hand.

The boys ran and shouted, "Toothless! Toothless!"

"Mom, Dad!" the girl cried.

"You little rascals, wait until you lose your baby teeth, we'll laugh you to death!" The girl's parents pretended to be annoyed, wiping away the girl's tears with their large hands while their eyes were full of laughter.

Shimizu watched this scene silently.

Last night she instructed the five soldiers who were pretending to be dead today, and now she felt genuinely happy.

The sand people live hand to mouth, their only thought is whether they will have food for the next meal, what they can eat, and how much they can eat. The prospect of arriving at the Blood Sand Tribe tonight seems too far away for them.

As for the invasion of Earthlings, the vast majority of Sandmen don't care. Even without Earthlings, they themselves might not survive 15 days, so why would they think about what will happen 15 days later?

Summer insects never worry about how cold this winter will be.

How should we eat these vegetables?

"I've never seen this type of vegetable before."

"Hello!" Li Qianxia jumped off the back of the sand beast and landed on the terrace of the stilted building.

The sand people quieted down, the adults hugged the playful children, and the soldiers protected the others.

“My brother is too stingy,” Li Qianxia said as she walked in. “I brought you milk, goat milk, chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, mainly for the children to eat so they can grow tall and strong.”

She patted the small bag at her waist, and in a golden light, the floor of the stilted building was immediately piled with milk, goat milk, eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, bottle after bottle, layer after layer.

Looking at the food, a woman who wasn't too wary of people couldn't help but ask, "How do you eat all this?"

"You don't know how? Oh, these things don't exist on this planet, right? Let me teach you!"

Li Qianxia rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white wrists that seemed to the sand people like they were glowing.

“I grew up in the countryside, and I can accurately find Malan in a pile of weeds.”

She glanced at the quantity of vegetables and sand people and gave up on cooking elaborate dishes.

"I'll cook hot pot for you guys! Hot pot is the best! You can wash the vegetables with water, but never mind, you're probably too stingy with the water. Actually, it's okay if you don't wash them, these are all super all-natural, you can use them directly. I'm going to ask my brother for a dozen bags of hot pot seasoning! You wait here!"

Li Qianxia rushed in, but before she could even stay for a minute, she jumped back onto the back of the Shatuo beast.

You could hear her shouting from afar, "Brother, I'm going to cook them a big meal, give me the hot pot ingredients!"

After a brief pause, she shouted again, "Hot pot is also a form of cooking! How can hot pot not be a feast! You, a city son-in-law, shouldn't you stop interfering with our country people's diet!"

This time, she jumped back in less than twenty seconds, holding a small bag filled with round beads, from which a rich fragrance wafted.

The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard one after another from inside the stilted building.

"This is a pill my sister-in-law refined, named 'Hot Pot Pill'!" For some reason, the Earthling laughed.

"Everyone, let's get ready for hot pot! We have clear broth, tomato broth, and spicy broth! You can join us for clear broth too. As a leader, you must connect with the masses!"

Qingshui was grabbed by the wrist. She didn't want to accept charity from Earthlings, but she wasn't as strong as Li Qianxia. With a gentle tug, she fell into the temptation of the hot pot.

Early in the morning, the three-headed sand beast headed towards the Blood Sand Tribe amidst the overwhelming aroma of hot pot.

Every now and then you can hear hissing sounds, that's from eating spicy hot pot broth.

“It’s not a good thing to have too good a relationship with these people,” Yaochi said to Li Changzhou.

“As long as she doesn’t expose herself, she can wear whatever she wants, and as long as there’s no danger to her life, she can do whatever she wants.” Li Changzhou sat cross-legged, gazing at the boundless desert.

He is unable to practice now, so he is contemplating the matter of visualization.

He had not been exposed to many visualization techniques, including the B-level "Thunderclap Diagram", the A-level "Divine Fire Diagram", and the S+-level "Yin Yang Twin Snakes" and "Giant Kun".

Although few, they all have one thing in common—contemplating the universe and all things to enhance 'ability' and acquire skills (which can also be described as spells, supernatural powers, magic, or witchcraft).

Given this, could he create his own method of visualization?

I don't aspire to be on par with "Yin Yang Twin Snakes" or "Giant Kun," nor do I want to compare with "Divine Fire Diagram." I only need a little bit of the charm of "Thunder Diagram."
