With the idea of caring for the female cals, Ji Nuan originally planned to choose a partner for Maomao to ride.
However, when Ji Nuan tried to switch to its cal, Maomao’s resentful little eyes kept glancing at her.
Looking at the male cal, its eyes were filled with ferocity, which scared the cal so much that its hind legs trembled.
In the end, Ji Nuan only transferred so heavy items onto the backs of a few male cals, and both animals went back up the mountain to replenish so fruits and water.
Xiu Yan also brought the bathtub from yesterday.
Even so, the cals didn’t have too many things hanging on them.
For Maomao and its companions, this weight was practically like a leaf falling on their backs.
Xiu Yan also picked a male cal and rode on it, only realizing why these big fellows had such long legs once he sat down—it was to be farther from the scorching ground.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan had no particular aim and didn’t know if this continent was entirely made up of deserts, so they let the cals carry them wandering around.
But judging from Maomao’s direction, it was always heading towards the depths of the desert.
During the day, Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan rode the cals forward, and at night, Maomao and its partners would form a circle to surround Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan’s tent.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan would light a small fire inside the tent at night because the temperature difference between the dayti and nightti desert was really too great.
It felt just like winter, with the day scorching beasts and the night freezing them.
This was even with the windbreak wall ford by Maomao and the others.
After two days of such journeying, the towering mountain range in their view had been reduced to just a little peak.
Only then did they finally encounter the first plant Xiu Yan spoke of, full of spines.
Seeing this plant, Ji Nuan felt very familiar—it was a cactus, and a very large one at that.
Maomao and its companions were very excited when they saw the cactus, encircling it and nibbling on it, not afraid of the sharp spines at all.
Xiu Yan went to another cactus, took out a small knife from his waist, and cut a piece off.
From the gap where he cut, water with a faint fragrance flowed out.
The scent was incredibly pleasant, and Ji Nuan couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Seeing her greedy look, Xiu Yan chuckled, took a bowl, and collected so water to pass to her.
Both being evolved animals, they knew imdiately after the water flowed out whether it was poisonous or not.
Ji Nuan took a gentle sip, and a fresh and sweet flavor instantly filled her mouth.
She enjoyed it so much that she squinted her eyes, only passing the bowl to Xiu Yan after a long while: "This plant’s juice is really delicious. I didn’t expect Maomao and its companions to enjoy it so much."
Maomao, long used to Ji Nuan’s calling, raised its head upon hearing its na, glanced at Ji Nuan seeing she had nothing more to say, then lowered its head to enjoy the food in front of it again.
Facing such delicious food, it had to eat its fill even though it wasn’t hungry.
But it could store the food and chew on it later.
Xiu Yan took the porcelain bowl from Ji Nuan’s hands, also drank a mouthful, and found the fresh and sweet juice cooled down the heat in his body significantly—it seed to be a truly good thing.
