She retrieved the fish pearl and put it into her spatial storage.
The weather was scorching hot, and inside the cave, Dong Chi, Nan Mo, and Wang were almost all in a state of summer hibernation.
They only eat and drink a little when they wake up occasionally.
They eat very little and expend very little energy.
They huddled in the deepest part of the cave.
The father and his two children slept in almost identical positions.
"The snake-beastmen's attack power is so weak right now."
When Si Yan previously claimed that there were seven or eight thousand snake-beastmen in the Illusory Forest, she felt that it was simply a pipe dream for those outside tribes to annihilate the snake-beastmen in one fell swoop.
But now, looking at the cold-blooded serpent beastmen in front of him, all of whom were afflicted with the Weakness debuff, he felt that annihilating them would be a piece of cake.
Si Yan dampened the animal hide with water and gently wiped the three snake-beastmen to cool them down.
"That's strange. We've waited so many days, and the blazing sun is already high in the sky, so why haven't we arrived at Black Tiger City yet? Has something happened? How are Xi Qing and Bei Ji doing now?"
...
The barrier around the City of Ten Thousand Beasts has been activated.
Although it's hot inside the City of Beasts, it's much better than outside.
Having finally reached the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, Xi Qing and Bei Ji ran around the city curiously.
The golden orc knocked on doors one by one, a bright and cheerful smile on his face, and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen my sister?"
The orc ignored him, but still asked, "What does your sister look like?"
The golden orc straightened up, confidently patted himself, and proudly said, "It should be just like me, shining brightly and looking especially beautiful!"
"Never seen this before, you're crazy!"
With a bang, the door slammed shut, leaving the golden orc feeling utterly humiliated.
He felt embarrassed and noticed something near his feet. He looked down and saw two pink and tender little cubs looking up at him.
Along the way, the golden orc and the two little cubs had become familiar with each other.
He crouched down and asked, "Xi Qing Bei Ji, what's the matter?"
Xi Qing: "Uncle, we're a little tired."
Bei Ji: "It's so hot, my bodily functions are declining. Can we take a summer hibernation?"
Because of the barrier, the temperature in Beast City is lower than outside, falling somewhere between summer hibernation and non-summer hibernation.
You can choose to hibernate in summer.
You can also try to persevere and get through it.
The golden orc shook out a huge animal hide from behind him and spread it out grandly. "You can hibernate inside the hide. Uncle will take you there."
The two little snake cubs smiled with delight, and immediately transformed into snakes and burrowed into his animal skin.
Although they had only known this uncle for a short time, they felt quite safe with him.
They were truly exhausted. As soon as they entered, they collapsed and immediately went into summer hibernation.
...
Outside Dark Sun Lake, Fox Cloth, led by Eagle Illumination, met with Spirit Interpretation.
Jie Ling wore a tight-fitting animal skin skirt, which covered the large hole in her chest that had not yet fully healed. Her face was pale with illness, but because of this, she had a sickly beauty similar to that of Lin Daiyu.
Fox Cloth was forced to come all this way, and he was in a bad mood.
"Jie Ling, you're a junior after all. Why don't you come to see me yourself instead of asking me to come see you?!" He said, suppressing his temper, when he saw Ying Zhao and Yuan Dingshan, the two amethyst beastmen.
Jie Ling calmly smiled innocently, "Grandpa, how is the situation of the snake clan in the Illusory Territory?"
Fox Cloth: "You mean those snake-beastmen? They're mostly in aestivation now, so they don't have much attack power anymore. But..."
Jie Ling asked, "But what?"
Fox Cloth: "However, I don't know what those snakes are up to. They actually built something called a water cellar for many tribes."
When our fox clan contacts the various tribes, we find that none of them intend to attack the illusory territory.
Currently, only a few tribes, like the Rock Village tribe, are somewhat dissatisfied with the serpent-beastmen of the illusory territory.
"A water cellar?" Jie Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
Was this Si Yan's doing?
She's really smart to think of something like this.
No wonder he was the one she took a liking to at first sight, no wonder he was her nemesis who could dispel spirits.
She slowly raised her head and looked towards the Dark Sun Lake on the horizon, as if gazing at her nemesis from afar.
She was very clever; she stored water resources, thus fundamentally solving the problems of other tribes.
As long as she stores enough water to sustain the other tribes for a month, the Fiery Day will be over, and those tribes will no longer attack the snake-beastmen because of a life-or-death crisis.
If these tribes cannot unite to crush the serpent beastmen of the illusory realm, then her mission will surely fail.
but……
Jie Ling curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"Grandpa Fox Cloth, don't worry."
Having survived this life-or-death ordeal, Jie Ling seems to have grown considerably.
“In previous years, the Blazing Day occurred once every ten years and lasted for a month. As long as we stocked up on enough supplies and water, we could get through it. But this time... this Blazing Day is different from previous years.”
Jie Ling was a little tired, and she slowly closed her big, watery eyes.
"This blazing day is a once-in-a-millennium disaster. It's going to last two or three months. Will their water cellar last two or three months?"
"Two or three months??" Fox Cloth exclaimed in surprise. "This disaster is going to last this long?!"
“Yes. It’s that long…” Jie Ling chuckled softly, “If it doesn’t last three months…”
"To survive, Dark Sun Lake will be thrown into chaos!"
...
Outside the Dark Sun Lake, all the tribes had prepared water cellars at the last minute.
They stored their water resources in cisterns, so even when the sun was blazing, the rate at which the water resources were depleted was much slower.
