Chapter 1200: Picnic in the Desert

The sand from the wind blowing would get into Gu Mengmeng’s eyes sometimes, and it was like a sharp weapon when the wind was strong, even leaving streaks of scars on her face.

Elvis heart was aching and had to cover Gu Mengmeng up with a piece of hide.

“Endure it for while although it’s hot, yeah?”

“Uh.” Gu Mengmeng lied on Elvis’s shoulders and shriveled up.

Although she had been mentally prepared for this trip and she did not feel it was unbearable from the sudden high temperature, since the temperature had been slowly increasing and getting drier, the harsh weather in the desert was more torturing that she had imagined.

Elvis and Lea did not want Gu Mengmeng to be exposed in such a harsh environment, so the four males decided to continue the journey day and night after discussion, so that they could reach Fedaton City and meet Bi An as soon as possible.

But there were no landmarks in the desert, although Wabei was born here, he had not been back for eight hundred years. Coming back after adapting to the moist climate in the outside world was not unbearable but still uncomfortable nonetheless.

Looking at the snake skin on the verge of cracking, Wabei looked down on himself in his heart: Tsk, he had really led a pampered life for these eight hundred years.

Although Auretin had left for a shorter time than Wabei, he had never returned after that. With only childhood memories, it was difficult to quickly navigate to the Fedaton City accurately.

After wandering in the desert for three days, the food prepared had finished.

Auretin had predicted that they would arrive at the Fedaton City by evening, so they were just missing a lunch and Gu Mengmeng found it tolerable.

But Elvis and Lea did not want Gu Mengmeng to starve, so they turned into their beast forms to quicken the journey.

However, they were not too far off before they saw a group of rattlesnakes fighting with another group of scorpions.

Gu Mengmeng patted on Elvis and signaled for him to stop, then, she bent down at a distance and just watched them.

“So gang fights happen in the desert too.” Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, “Our lunch is right there.”

“What are you doing?” Wabei looked at Gu Mengmeng, spooked.

Gu Mengmeng raised her eyebrow and hissed.

The rattlesnakes were stunned in the middle of their fight, before scattering around to escape. The scorpions were dumbfounded as they had never encountered something like this before.

They were stunned for two seconds before starting to chase the rattlesnakes, only to realized that they had been surrounded.

Wabei flung his snake tail across and all the scorpions became unconscious on the spot.

Gu Mengmeng ran up happily and picked up the scorpions that were as big as two palms placed side by side even without their tails and claws. She removed the claws, heads and tails on bye one, before covering them with snake skin. She put them directly on the surface of the sands and tossed it a few times. The temperature of the sand was extremely high and almost all the scorpions were cooked within a few turns.

Gu Mengmeng smiled like the monsters in the “Journey to the West”, she shook her shoulders as she opened the snake skin. She peeled off the sh.e.l.l of the scorpions and the smell of meat was given off.

Smiling, Gu Mengmeng pa.s.sed one to Wabei and looked at the other three males sorrowfully, especially Auretin whose eyes were clearly s.h.i.+ning as he swallowed his saliva. She said, “The scorpions are poisonous, other than Wabei and I, it is dangerous for you to eat it. Sorry, hold it back for a while, you can eat when we reach the Fedaton City.”

The smell of protein filled the air, Auretin were circling around the place from his hunger, while Elvis and Lea were amused as they looked at Gu Mengmeng tasting the scorpions apologetically yet exaggeratively in front of Auretin. However, they did not realized a pair of cold eyes watching everything beneath the layer of sands.
