Chapter 1028 Learning from Xiao Han
Chapter 1028: Learning from Xiao Han Xiao Han thought to herself, these people are still able to hold on because they just came in.
When they are thirsty and hungry in the desert, they will know that this is also a good thing.
Ling Xiao was born in the God Realm. Even though he had gone through many spatial trials and performed missions in mortal kingdoms, he had always been a cultivator.
He had no idea how an ordinary person could survive in the desert without water or food.
When Xiao Han said that the thorny plant was where everyone got their food and water, he immediately looked disgusted.
Xiao Han ignored him and looked around again, noticing a dead tree branch stuck at the base of a cactus clump, blown by the wind.
She pulled out the dead branches, picked a bunch of cacti on the side, and separated them with branches.
Fortunately, the cacti here are not tree-shaped, but rather the common palm-sized pieces, so they should be edible.
"Hold this branch down for me while I cut it. Remember, don't touch the thorns. We don't have any protective shields now, and our bodies are as fragile as mortals. Getting pricked by them will be terrible."
Although Ling Xiao was disgusted, he obediently helped to press it down with dry branches.
Xiao Han cautiously approached, intending to use the small stone in her hand to cut it off.
As soon as she reached out, she accidentally touched a sharp thorn, and the pain made her quickly pull her hand away.
Ling Xiao looked at the shoes on his feet, wondering if the space had reduced the quality of his clothes and shoes.
I tried touching it, but the spikes didn't penetrate, so I kicked it.
Xiao Han was so shocked that her mouth dropped open. This guy was too reckless.
She looked at Ling Xiao's feet and thankfully, there were no marks of thorns on the smooth surface of his black cloud-patterned boots.
Could it be that the quality of these clothes and shoes is such that they are impervious to water and fire?
That's good, at least I don't have to worry about not having replacements when my clothes and shoes wear out.
This clump of cacti was quite lush, and Lingxiao kicked off a two-foot-long section of it.
Xiao Han originally planned to use a branch to hold the cut cactus and drag it over, but since the quality of her clothes hadn't deteriorated, she carefully wrapped a corner of the cactus with the hem of her clothes and dragged it towards the rocky hill.
Xin Xiushi and his group were lucky enough to find a recessed spot, where they huddled under a large rock to escape the scorching midday sun.
Seeing Xiao Han dragging a cactus back, he didn't even bother to ask.
Since everyone is already quite thirsty, it's best to keep quiet and reduce saliva production.
Xiao Han sat down in the shade, wrapped her hand with a corner of her clothes, and slowly pulled out the tiny thorns.
After finally cleaning a stem, Xiao Han broke it off and then cut it in half, handing it to Ling Xiao.
"Eat this to replenish your food and water."
Ling Xiao shook his head, resolutely refusing to eat.
Xiao Han thought about it and realized that she still wasn't thirsty or hungry enough.
She then handed the croton to the croton, saying, "Eat it quickly so you can replenish your food and water."
Fearing that Ba Dou would dislike it, he ordered, "You have to eat it even if it doesn't taste good."
Ba Dou had never tasted cactus before; he just instinctively felt that it wasn't part of his diet.
Since its owner forced it to eat, it had no choice but to bite off the food.
Xiao Han took a bite herself; it tasted slightly sour, but very juicy. It certainly didn't taste good, but it was something that could save her life.
No, they probably won't die, but they'll likely be so thirsty and hungry that they'd rather die.
So this is not the time to be picky.
Xiao Han chewed haphazardly and swallowed quickly, feeling that her thirst was indeed relieved somewhat.
The other cultivators, who had been watching her closely, finally couldn't help but ask, "Is this food tasty?"
Xiao Han smiled and said, "It certainly won't taste good, but it can provide hydration and alleviate some of the hunger."
Everyone wasn't particularly hungry at the moment, but they were all thirsty.
But it was midday, and the temperature was high; nobody wanted to break off a cactus in the blazing sun.
Xiao Han wouldn't meddle or offer advice; once they couldn't stand it anymore, these people would naturally eat whatever they wanted.
She continued to carefully remove the thorns from the remaining stems.
The group rested in the shade until after 3 PM before discussing their journey.
However, these people haven't had a drop of water since early morning, and their throats are parched.
Everyone said they wanted to get some cactus to replenish their fluids.
Ling Xiao couldn't take it anymore, so he asked Xiao Han for a piece of cactus with the thorns removed, swallowed it hastily to relieve his thirst, and then followed the group to break off cacti.
Although Xiao Han still had some money left, she still needed to stock up on more.
She fed Ba Dou some more cactus, and then, while everyone else was breaking off cacti, she sent Ba Dou to scout ahead again.
After the croton flew away, she went back to break off some cacti.
There are still quite a few cacti there, so she needs to prepare more supplies.
As I approached, I heard the beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes exclaim in surprise, pointing her finger, "These thorns are so sharp!"
Fatty Wang laughed from the side, "It's not that the thorns are powerful, it's that our bodies and senses are now the same as ordinary people, so even these tiny thorns can hurt us."
Lingxiao told everyone that both the robes and boots could block the spikes, and that they could use the clothes to cover their hands to fold them or kick them with their feet.
But everyone covered their hands and folded the bag; no one kicked it, since it was something going into their mouths.
Xiao Han broke off about a dozen more cactus stems and wrapped them directly in her clothes.
After we'd picked enough, everyone continued their journey.
However, now we're just pulling out thorns as we go.
With the addition of cacti and the drop in temperature, everyone quickened their pace.
After almost a day, everyone realized that their bodies and senses were no different from those of ordinary people.
Even if they know in their hearts that they might not die, no one wants to suffer this torment.
As dusk approached, Croton flew over, indicating that they still hadn't seen the edge of the desert or found a water source.
Everyone was extremely disappointed.
Whether anyone regretted it, Xiao Han didn't know. But she truly regretted it, and felt a bit like a carpenter wearing shackles—suffering the consequences of his own actions.
She must have lost her mind; why did she agree to let Ling Xiao come in and become a mortal?
Is this because you think you haven't suffered enough?
The temperature is high during the day in the desert, but very low at night.
Everyone sat at the foot of a leeward sand dune, shivering against it.
While the garment is sturdy and not easily damaged, it does not provide insulation.
Ling Xiao didn't care about anything else and hugged Xiao Han tightly, wanting to warm himself by her body heat.
Xiao Han herself was trembling, so she didn't push him away.
Looking at the big shots huddled up in a sorry state, Xiao Han dared not imagine whether they would regret their actions if she continued down this path of survival, and then beat her up as the instigator.
After all, this task was really embarrassing.
