The desert temperature dropped that night, and the snake cubs tumbled into the arms of CatDodo and SnakeRong because they were so cold.
"Luckily, I brought animal hides this time, so don't be afraid." Cat Duoduo carefully hugged them and began to regret that she hadn't prepared enough beforehand.
Good heavens, who would have thought that the desert would already be so cold at night, almost below freezing? Especially with some creatures still scurrying around under the sand, even someone as slow-witted as CatDodo could sense it.
The Serpent Rong reacted by protecting the cats and cubs inside, while resting outside with its eyes half-closed, looking as if it might suddenly attack and fight the beasts at any moment.
As Maoduo fell asleep, she witnessed this scene and secretly resolved to always be fully prepared in the future...
As a result, when I woke up in the morning, I found that the entrance to the cave was almost completely buried in sand, which means that the wind and waves last night were indeed quite strong.
That's secondary. After a night, some routes also deviated from their intended path.
Looking at the map he had obtained, Maoduo couldn't help but feel conflicted. The main concern was the presence of the Rootless City in some dangerous sections ahead. He feared that once he entered the territory, he would face a frenzied attack.
"Are you scared?" Just as they were about to set off, She Rong stopped beside Mao Duoduo and suddenly spoke.
"Uh, no... okay, I admit it, I'm mainly worried about encountering the Rootless City." CatDodo was a little conflicted. What she was sure of was that the desert was too big, and something bad could happen if she wasn't careful.
My goal is to lead everyone out of this desert as quickly as possible, avoid encountering the Rootless City, and reach the summit of the North Mountain as soon as possible.
"Wait a moment." She Rong glanced at the map and quickly went out.
Cat Duoduo paused its journey because of this, which Rabbit Ling'er saw. Thinking that she was going back, she grinned mischievously.
Soon after, the Serpent King returned with a message that clearly pointed out the direction of the Rootless City.
“Okay, let’s proceed like this from now on.” Maoduoduo then used a charcoal pencil to sketch on the map.
After confirming that the Serpent King was not injured, she smiled and said, "Alright, let's get ready to go."
"...What's going on? We're leaving again." Rabbit Spirit complained at this moment.
Cat Dodo pretended not to hear and smiled as she told Snake Rong and Snake Baby to leave. Almost as soon as she embarked on her journey, Rabbit Ling'er, who had been complaining about not liking her, also pursed her lips and reluctantly walked with Gal.
To bypass the City of No Roots, they were destined to travel a long way. Even though Cat Duoduo and Snake Rong took the initiative to carry Snake Cub and the others, Snake Cub still couldn't help but show signs of exhaustion.
When they finally got a break, Maoduo watched them rubbing their feet and encouraging each other, preparing to walk on their own and not wanting to be a burden.
She pursed her lips and, seizing the opportunity, took out the milk from her spatial storage. The milk was slightly warm; it had been stored there previously and still retained its original temperature.
"You can drink." The milk in the bamboo tube still carried the fresh scent of bamboo.
The snake cubs were excited as soon as they received it, saying in their baby voices that they loved their mother the most.
"It's delicious. You're still kids, you have the right to be spoiled and willful." Cat Dodo ruffled their hair, preparing to say something more.
Suddenly, an unexpected voice rang out from not far away, "What's going on? So you guys were hoarding food?"
Upon hearing this, everyone paused and turned to look at Rabbit Spirit in unison.
Tu Ling'er curled her lips, her gaze fixed intently on the milk in their bamboo tubes, her smile carrying a hint of deeper meaning, "Not bad, you even have milk in your hands, you guys are really extravagant."
Mao Duoduo's face immediately fell, and she couldn't help but suspect that the other party might have discovered that she had a spatial ability. It shouldn't be this fast; she was carrying milk in a bamboo tube. If it were in a basket, that would make sense.
However, milk doesn't keep well for long, and the chances of it spoiling are too high. It's so different from being as fresh as if it were just squeezed out...
CatDodo is still thinking about what to do.
The cubs were unhappy, making no attempt to hide their disgust and rejection of Rabbit Spirit.
"Oh, what gives you the nerve to be angry with me?" Rabbit Spirit smiled and unceremoniously took a bottle from Snake Second Hand's hand.
"My milk!" Snake Two was caught off guard and had no time to react.
"Anyway, you still have plenty, give it to me." Rabbit Spirit leisurely took the milk, ready to leave.
"Shameless! This belongs to my mother. She asked us to hold it for her." Snake Three was furious and stepped forward to snatch it back.
Rabbit Spirit was agile and not at all inferior to a cub. She chuckled and prepared to trip Snake Three and make him suffer a great deal.
Just as Snake Three was about to fall, Cat Duoduo reacted, "Snake Three!"
Regardless of whether the other party had discovered her secret about her spatial ability, she quickly shielded Snake Three, preventing her from falling asleep. Good heavens, there were sharp stone spikes in that spot; if Snake Three had fallen, he would definitely have been in serious trouble.
Cat Duoduo was focused on Snake Three, and ended up falling to the ground. When the snake cubs saw this, they thought the person was injured and nervously gathered around.
Only Rabbit Spirit watched the spectacle from the sidelines, quite pleased with herself, saying, "What's going on? This is so embarrassing."
She smiled and prepared to take the milk for herself to enjoy. Such good milk didn't need to be left for the cubs.
After taking only two steps, Rabbit Spirit paused, her sarcastic and smug smile now replaced by fear.
She instinctively took a step back, but the other person stepped forward, their voice icy, as if from the deepest abyss, "What...did you do?"
Those few simple words filled Rabbit Spirit with a deep-seated fear.
What the hell? The opponent is clearly only three-striped, yet not as powerful as Leopard Fierce. Leopard Fierce, on the other hand, had a stroke of luck and became incredibly powerful, but she has this strange feeling that she'll die at the opponent's hands…
It was at this moment that Rabbit Spirit saw a shadow flash in front of her.
Immediately, the bamboo tube she was holding was taken away.
"What?" Before Rabbit Spirit could react, she saw the bamboo tube being slammed heavily to the ground by Snake Rong.
She Rong remained indifferent, except for the red at the corner of his eye that gave him an eerie air. "If my cub's things get dirty from being touched, then there's no need to keep them."
Cat Duoduo overheard these words and almost couldn't catch her breath.
Wait, bro, this is clearly what she wanted to drink.
As a result, the cubs were completely touched by these words and their eyes welled up with tears.
