Mao Duoduo had originally planned to ask Tu Ling'er where they planned to stay by the sea that night, but as soon as she heard this, she shuddered. Damn, that's too cheesy. She decisively called the others and quickly walked towards the sea.
In early spring, the snow melts, everything comes back to life, and the seawater carries a fresh scent.
They quickly found a nearby cave and settled down. CatDodo also planned to study the tent, and her casual drawing caught the attention of the Serpent Rong.
"If it's built like this, I might be able to do it."
"Huh, really?"
Cat Duoduo looked expectant.
She Rong nodded, got up and started looking for materials nearby to make a tent on the spot.
To be honest, a tent is nothing more than wood and animal hides. He just needs to find some rot-resistant and sturdy wood to build the tent.
"Hooray!" the cubs exclaimed excitedly.
"Okay, let's go collect seashells, dig for crabs, and dig for razor clams!"
Cat Duoduo clapped its hands and quickly called for the snake cubs to follow it. Rabbit Ling'er and Leopard Lie settled down not far away and began hunting as well.
The beach was really fun, but it's too deep if you don't go into the sea. CatDodo and the snake cubs found a lot of seafood. They carefully cleaned the edible ones, and washed and dried the shells.
The snake cubs were very curious about this, while Cat Duoduo smiled and told them that things could become very beautiful. They were very much looking forward to it.
That evening, Cat Duoduo also prepared a barbecue, excitedly calling on Snake Rong and the snake cubs to enjoy what a real seafood feast was like. The abundant deliciousness prompted Rabbit Ling'er and Leopard Lie, who lived not far away, to quickly join in and prepare a seafood barbecue as well.
Even though Rabbit Spirit and the others didn't bring any seasonings, the pure taste of seafood was the most enjoyable.
It was their first time at the beach, and they ate until their bellies were full. After She Rong set up a tent on the sand, Mao Duoduo even lay down on it with her cubs to look at the stars.
"I'm so happy. I didn't know we could have so much fun away from the city." Snake Three spoke from the heart. Snake One and Snake Two wanted to cover each other's mouths as soon as they heard this, as they knew how stifling this trip had been.
It was CatDodo's words that eased the awkward and stiff atmosphere: "That's right. Let me think, what should we play tomorrow?"
These words immediately excited the snake cubs, making them want to shout "Long live!"
Lying beside them, Serpent Rong, who was also looking at the sky, smiled slightly and closed his eyes as he listened to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.
On days like these, he should be able to calm the violent, murderous urges within him.
Amidst the sounds of everyone talking, Maoduoduo unknowingly fell asleep. She was simply too tired after a whole day; it's true what they say about mythical beasts being difficult to raise.
CatDodo never expected that she had a dream that started in the most prosperous and bustling White Tiger City, where everyone had smiles on their faces and seemed to be enjoying the enthusiasm.
Cat Dodo was also engrossed in the activity and wanted to find a familiar stall to ask people for something to buy. Suddenly, a loud noise seemed to rang out, followed by a chorus of screams and cries for help that drowned out everything else.
A terrible disaster struck before her eyes: a volcano erupted, and molten lava devoured everything in its path, bringing despair and destruction. All that had been painstakingly built was reduced to nothing but shadows.
Some people gritted their teeth and fled in fear and unease.
"No, there's...there's danger!" CatDodo's heart was pounding. She felt like a spectator, witnessing this desperate and terrifying scene unfold before her eyes.
Many people fled, but they did not expect that the volcanic eruption would also cause earthquakes and tsunamis. The extremely chaotic scene caused the few survivors to row their boats to another continent with fear and anxiety.
Among them, CatDodo spotted SnakeRong among the orcs with expressions of despair. He was draped in animal skins, yet looked incredibly lonely, as if he were trying to suppress something.
On a reef in the deep sea, amidst the thick fog, a mermaid combs her hair, seemingly preparing to sing and launch an attack...
"ah--"
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"Cat Duoduo!"
Finally, CatDodo woke up, drenched in sweat.
The snake cubs and snake warriors watched her nervously. If they weren't so close, they probably would have missed Cat Duoduo's unusual reaction amidst the sound of the waves.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Snake Three asked with concern.
"N-nothing...it's nothing." Mao Duoduo shook her head, but her hands clenched involuntarily.
She must stop this natural disaster, so that the Serpent Kings don't turn evil and get into trouble, and so that many innocent orcs don't suffer.
In the nightmare, countless orcs died in despair, a catastrophe not only for the people of White Tiger City, but for the entire continent.
If it were just a dream, Maoduo could comfort herself by thinking it was just overthinking, but what Bai Na said before, plus the fact that some of the terrain near White Tiger City does indeed match what was described in the dream...
It appears that the volcano has been inactive for many years, but it has always had a continuous supply of heat, which seems to be a sign that something is accumulating.
While dealing with the snake cubs, Maoduo couldn't sleep, her mind preoccupied with what to do.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind, then suddenly stopped. Her eyes lit up. That's right, how could she forget? The words the Snow Woman had spoken were also taking effect at this moment.
The other party said they would look for it again... Could this be what they were talking about?
The next morning, Maoduoduo led everyone to dig out clam meat and dry it in the sun, which would extend its shelf life.
But soon, around noon, Maoduoduo realized something: this trip to the top of Beishan would involve passing through the desert, which was fraught with danger.
She couldn't very well use a nightmare as an excuse to get everyone to come to Beishan with her. Her unease was evident even during her seafood lunch.
Compared to Snake Cub's easy-going nature and his obsession with drinking the so-called Thai seafood soup made by Cat Duoduo, Cat Duoduo didn't notice that Snake Rong was looking at her several times.
His gaze drifted almost imperceptibly towards Leopard Fierce, who was also eating seafood not far away.
Are you really that concerned about Leopard Fierce?
"So, if we're going to cross the desert, shouldn't we all work together?"
In the afternoon, while the snake cubs were sleeping, Cat Dodo was also studying the situation on her own. The desert was fraught with danger, and if it were just the Snake Rong alone, she feared that they would be worn down by her and the three snake cubs.
However, if Leopard Fierce were to participate... even if Cat Dodo is unwilling to admit it, it seems that Leopard Fierce's addition would only strengthen their team. Furthermore, Rabbit Spirit is currently just being difficult and won't hold them back; she could help them reach their destination more easily.
