"Pushan, don't talk nonsense, don't try to scare people."
Xiu Si, the young clan leader, looked helpless, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
So it turns out he was just spouting nonsense to scare people. Now they can relax.
To everyone's surprise, the next moment, Xiu Si said without changing his expression, "This happened many years ago. Trees these days don't move around randomly."
Now, the cubs perked up and all rushed into the arms of CatDodo and SnakeRong.
At this moment, Tu Ling'er wanted nothing more than to scream and shout that she wanted to leave immediately. She did not want to die rashly at the hands of so-called plants, as it was too shameful.
CatDodo, however, had a different opinion on this.
"I don't think I understand what you mean."
She thought for a moment about what she had heard and seen, and tried to say, "But you have a way of controlling these trees, right? In fact, the trees themselves are able to 'obey' because of you."
Xiu Si and Pu Shan smiled slightly and gave the same response, "Oh right, that's a secret."
"Okay, let's change the subject."
Cat Duoduo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she was the kind of person who was most afraid of hearing other people's secrets.
She tried to speak: "Can we rest here for a while? We'll get moving as soon as her wound is healed."
As Maoduo spoke, she glanced again at Sherong's bandaged wounds.
Upon seeing this, the Serpent Rong instinctively replied, "I'm fine."
"Alright, alright, I know you've recovered, so there's no need to tell me."
After dealing with the situation quickly, Mao Duoduo unexpectedly overheard Xiu Si's words.
"To be honest, I haven't properly congratulated you on coming to my tribe yet."
"Since you're here, please settle in comfortably. We will do our best to treat you well. Also, you can meet my father first."
Hearing this, Maoduoduo smiled and said, "That's wonderful! Xiusi, your father is indeed better."
"Yes!" Xiu Si nodded vigorously, her expression filled with joy and longing, but she still explained again, "However, Father needs to recuperate, and his health is not as good as before."
"It's alright, as long as the person is still alive."
In fact, Xiu Si and Pu Shan were very satisfied with what Mao Duoduo said. They took the initiative to arrange a temporary resting place for them and put their things away before heading to the clan leader's location.
It's a large tent that looks like it can hold a lot of people.
When Mao Duoduo and the others were brought over by Xiu Si, they met a man who looked very similar to Xiu Si, but who gave off a gentle, broad, and comfortable feeling, like a river.
He looked unwell, and seemed to be somewhat ill. He was currently playing with a sand table with others, discussing a new round of work-related matters.
Upon hearing the approaching footsteps, they all looked up at the same time and saw Xiu Si leading his people over.
“Father, they are the people we met in the desert who helped us and gave us the Flame Fruit.”
Upon hearing this, Xiu Si's father broke into a bright smile, stepped forward to express his heartfelt gratitude to Mao Duoduo and his group, clapped his hands, and had a generous amount of food brought out, urging everyone to enjoy themselves.
Maoduo was initially hesitant and unaccustomed to the food, as it was clearly not to her liking. Unexpectedly, when she opened the fruit, its delicate and silky texture made her eyes widen in surprise, let alone the cubs.
It must be said that the fruit here is very juicy and has a good sugar content, plus it has an excellent taste that doesn't make you feel greasy.
I absolutely adore CatDodo...
While she was focused on eating, she overheard the clan chief and others preparing a welcome party, which immediately made her look apologetic. "Isn't this inappropriate? Eating and drinking at the same time is disrupting your lives."
"It's alright, we haven't seen anything from outside for a long time."
The clan chief was quite composed.
In fact, Xiu Si mouthed that he would prepare even more delicious food, which made Mao Duoduo's heart itch with anticipation.
Goodness, so much delicious food! It would be a waste not to eat it!
"good!"
The party is still being prepared.
Even though CatDodo and his group wanted to help, they were still invited back to their house to rest by the Shumu clan, who were waiting for the surprise.
The cubs happily rolled around in response.
The preparations here are indeed very comfortable. The ground is covered with a layer of bark, plus some wood fiber, layered on top of each other, and then covered with another layer of bark. This makes it very soft for the cubs to roll around on the ground, so they won't feel anything hard.
Cat Duoduo lay there happily, finally feeling like she had caught her breath. She was truly happy; this temporary rest was just to make her journey even faster later.
She Rong sat down beside her, meditated, turned his head to look at her, and whispered, "This place holds a secret."
Cat Duoduo crossed her arms and pressed them behind her back, lying comfortably on the ground. "Will that hurt us?"
She Rong thought about it for a moment, then shook his head. "No." Besides, he could sense that everyone genuinely wanted to make them feel at home.
It's clear that most of the tribespeople here don't choose to go out, which naturally makes them quite curious about the outside world.
For example, those who previously talked nonsense about tastes to the snake cubs were simply misunderstanding things from the start; some of their words were actually meaningless.
Orcs, for example, cannot eat their own kind. Orcs who can transform and have normal intelligence are considered the same species, regardless of race.
The hidden rule is that you can't eat each other. If you're caught, you'll be expelled. No place will tolerate such a person.
"Then you don't need to worry." Cat Dodo closed her eyes, humming a song leisurely, and said in a good mood, "Anyway, we won't be staying here for more than a few days, so you just need to take good care of your injuries."
"Mmm." This time, in addition to saying this, She Rong leaned down slightly and kissed Mao Duoduo's lips.
His movements were very light, and it was something that Maoduoduo had never expected.
Cat Duoduo was taken aback by the soft touch and subconsciously opened its eyes, only to clearly see Snake Rong's eyes.
She blinked, her face inevitably flushing red, but she didn't know what to do next.
"We'll catch up on what needs to be done next when we get back," She Rong said in a calm tone, moving on to the topic that was about to become more intimate.
Cat Duoduo realized what was happening, her face turning even redder. She glared at the person with annoyance and pushed them away, saying, "You're not allowed to mention this."
