Chapter 217: Desert Journey
When the aroma of the spices wafted away, the flying cloud rat jumped onto the handle of the pot and hung it, and its little nose shrugged.
Fortunately, it was not stupid and didn't jump into the pot, otherwise Wei Yanqing would have to throw it outside.
When the first dish was served, Feiyun Mouse knew who was the boss here, and he held Rong Yi's hand and chirped non-stop.
Rong Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes looked at the flying cloud squirrel, and his head turned sideways in Wei Yanqing's direction, "Can it eat these things?" โ
Wei Yanqing didn't even raise his head, "Eleventh-order creatures, just a little spice, not so fragile." โ
Rong Yi pursed his lips, "That's what I said, but it has a lot of appetite."
Wei Yanqing smiled, "Then I'll make double portions of all the dishes, let's eat."
The palm-sized garlic-stained pork ribs were handed to the flying cloud mouse, and from the time it was picked up to the time it was handed to it, the rat's eyes never left the food.
Sure it was for it, Rong Yi saw a flattering statement in the eyes of this mouse, and then his little paws clung to the ribs, and his fine teeth gnawed quickly.
She simply put the rat on a bench at the height of the waiting table, "Eat on this." "I took a plate and sandwiched several ribs and put them on the stool.
The fried minced garlic is wrapped in pork ribs, the spicy flavor and garlic aroma are combined, and the meat is large enough to be eaten by one person and one rat.
After a meal, Rong Yi and the mouse were still unsatisfied.
The aroma in the tent has not yet dissipated, and the flying cloud rat shuddes its nose from time to time to reminisce about the food just now.
It didn't take long for a sound to come from inside the grotto, the words of indigenous communication.
Wei Yanqing's hand touched the bottom of the tent, and instantly everything was included in the storage compartment, and even the fragrance was as if it had never appeared.
In less than a minute, a group of natives came in and saw two people and a rat.
"You're so early." An indigenous greets them.
Rong Yi touched the mask, Fortunately, he was fast, "It didn't take long to arrive." โ
Soon the stars and moons over there ushered in a native, who was dressed differently from the other natives, and compared to the rough animal skin, the animal skin on this native's body was oily and inlaid with precious stones, and the skin on his body was also very different.
The other aborigines' skin is scaly due to dryness, and this one's skin is cracked, and his facial features look very human-like.
A dozen more of these natives came from behind, they were the bosses of the group, and when they sat down, the other natives sat down with them as the center.
Seeing the strange and strangely dressed Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, the strongest of them asked, "Did you disperse with your fellow clans when you migrated?" โ
Rong Yi nodded, "Yes, I don't know where to find them." โ
There are many indigenous groups in the desert world, and there are no stone slabs with a record of location, so it is difficult to find them again after getting lost.
"Then you follow us to the public area for the time being, and then slowly find your kindred."
Many indigenous people were left behind during the millennium sandstorm, and the powerful indigenous groups were temporarily accepted and separated when they were sent to public areas.
"Thank you." Wei Yanqing said.
It was the first time he had seen an aborigine, and it was exactly what Rong Yi had described.
Especially when he saw them taking water to drink, Wei Yanqing understood how Rong Yi felt at that time.
ยท
After communicating with several natives, it was learned that they were a large group, so they migrated separately in several groups and met again at the gathering point, in order to preserve the fire.
The dozen or so dressed differently were the strongest ones in the group, so their status was particularly high.
As for the cracked skin, it is a sign of sufficient moisture, and it also directly shows their strength.
Rong Yi began to learn Wei Yanqing's nonsense, "Our race relies on collecting morning dew as a water resource, are they more powerful in collecting morning dew?" โ
The nativewoman who was asked covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at her as if she was looking at a bun.
"In addition to the morning dew, there is actually a water source, but those areas are controlled by powerful beasts, and it is not easy to grab them, but once it is successful, there are many swollen water bag worms, enough to drink for a long time."
A source of water in the desert?
Rong Yi couldn't imagine what the lake in the desert looked like, "Is it an oasis, a place with plants and water?" โ
The native woman shook her head softly with a smile, "It's a very deep puddle, and the appearance and disappearance are random, so it's hard to encounter in short." โ
"......I see," Rong Yi sighed in his heart that there was still such a wonder in the desert world, "Thank you." โ
Turning back to Wei Yanqing's side, the two of them sat in the corner, watching the natives busy, they only rested here for one night, and they would continue to hurry tomorrow.
"Puddle, I don't know if I can see one."
Even if there is a distance, for Wei Yanqing, the effect of the conversation they just had was similar to that of what they said in their ears.
Rong Yi took out the flying cloud rat and rubbed it through the gloves, "It's best to see it, but our mask has to be welded on our faces, as long as we take it off, we know that we are not from this planet." โ
I believe that the native natives of any planet do not want to see aliens who look significantly different from them.
For the next few days, the two followed the group.
It may be that the biological aura is different, and the creatures in the underground did not jump out of the attack, which made the two of them have a little understanding of the status of the indigenous food chain.
When we arrived at the communal area of this ethnic group, there were many indigenous people gathered here, and they all took a break here.
"The place has arrived, I wish you all the best of luck finding your clansmen soon."
After saying that, the group of natives went to sit down in other places, and the two of them found a random place.
"The sandstorm has passed, and now we are concentrating on finding supplies, which should be done soon."
The natives could only see Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing sitting quietly, unable to hear any sound, and the two chatted about their future plans through the transmission.
Wei Yanqing: "I'll go out tomorrow." โ
Even if you can't find other supplies, you can collect some and sell them all over the ground to get enough energy stones.
They have plans to do things, and so do the natives, and they don't shy away from talking about it.
"After the sandstorm, some of the sand worm swarm nests must be exposed, so we have to seize this opportunity."
The sandworm they mentioned reminded Rong Yi of the red sandworm.
"It's too dangerous, I don't have to wait a few more days."
"No, wait for the sandworms to burrow back into the ground, now is the time for them to find a new nest."
Wei Yanqing had never seen sandworms, so he listened carefully to their conversation.
Rong Yi leaned over and said, "The red sandworm that may be said can absorb the surrounding energy and air, and it is difficult to deal with without the energy stone supplement." โ
Wei Yanqing knew about this creature, "There are red sand worms here?" โ
"Hmm." Rong Yi nodded, "I also cut off a small half and sold it." โ
The indigenous side has already decided to take action, "It's not just us who hunt, other ethnic groups have this activity, and we can't be left behind." โ
It turned out to be the Great Initiative of Indigenous Communities.
What the two of them didn't know was that a complete red sand worm could be used for the cultivation of the indigenous people for a long time.
The flying cloud rat lay on Rong Yi's lap, silently stretched out his paws to buckle the suit.
"What." Rong Yi pointed his index finger at its head.
The flying cloud rat makes a gesture of holding the food and nibbling on it.
Rong Yi: "......"
