Because of her pregnancy, sitting on Ziyi's tiger back would be a little bumpy, so Mo Ran was responsible for carrying He Jiaojiao.

Before, He Jiaojiao always lay on Mo Ran’s snake body, but now her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and it was no longer suitable for her to lie down. So Mo Ran wrapped He Jiaojiao with his snake tail and put her on his head.

The head of a large black snake is much more stable than its body. After all, even if the snake moves quickly, its head can still remain motionless. Moreover, He Jiaojiao discovered that there were two raised bumps on Mo Ran's head, which she could just put her hands on for more stability.

After a while, Mo Ran and the others returned to the river.

Mo Ran turned back into an orc, hugged the sleeping He Jiaojiao, and gently placed her in the grass nest.

"You stay with Jiaojiao tonight!"

Ziyi transformed into a big white tiger, walked to a slightly higher slope nearby and lay down.

Looking at the sleeping He Jiaojiao, Mo Ran silently turned into a big black snake and coiled He Jiaojiao in the middle. He opened his mouth gently, and his snake tongue gently swept across He Jiaojiao's little face.

In her sleep, He Jiaojiao felt something itchy, so she reached out to scratch it, and opened her eyes a little. Seeing that it was Mo Ran, a big black snake, she smiled and opened her hand to touch Mo Ran's head, then fell asleep again.

All night without incident.

When she woke up, He Jiaojiao smelled the same aroma of fish soup as last night. She couldn't help but sniff. It smelled really good.

"woke up!"

Mo Ran came over with fish soup in his hand.

"Yeah!" He Jiaojiao had just woken up and her voice was still a little muffled. She rubbed her eyes, nodded, and then stretched out her hand towards Mo Ran.

Mo Ran walked forward with a smile, carried He Jiaojiao out of the grass nest, then went to the river, used a clean animal skin dipped in water to wash He Jiaojiao's face, and then carried her to the fire and sat down.

"This morning, I was walking around and saw the potatoes you mentioned yesterday, so I dug some up. I remember you said they were delicious roasted, so I threw a few on the fire. Give it a try!"

As Mo Ran spoke, he used a branch to pick out a few black potatoes from the fire, then picked up one, peeled off the black skin, blew it cool, and then handed it to He Jiaojiao's lips.

Looking at the big yellow potato, He Jiaojiao opened her mouth and took a big bite without thinking.

The sweet and glutinous potatoes burst in her mouth. The familiar aroma made He Jiaojiao almost cry. She really hadn't tasted such a familiar taste for a long time. Although it was a little bland, the starchy feeling was really soothing.

He Jiaojiao ate half a baked potato and felt that she was enough. After all, she still had fish soup to drink. Ziyi and the others had worked hard to catch and cook it early in the morning!

While He Jiaojiao was drinking the fish soup, Ziyi and Mo Ran also took a potato to eat. After taking the first bite, they were amazed.

I didn’t expect that these little lumps are so delicious, fragrant and sticky, and most importantly, they are quite filling.

"Why don't we go around the neighborhood later and find some more of these potatoes!"

Seeing that He Jiaojiao liked to eat them, and the potatoes were indeed delicious, Zi Yi thought of stocking up some more and putting them in He Jiaojiao's space so that he wouldn't have to worry about the cold season.

"No need!" He Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head. "We already dug up a lot yesterday, and there are a lot of edible things outside. We can just slowly discover them when the time comes."

A trace of regret flashed in Ziyi's eyes. Those were all food. Every winter in the cold season, many orcs starved to death because they had no food. He was really worried.

But He Jiaojiao didn't understand his worries. She just felt that although potatoes were delicious, she couldn't bear to eat them every day. Besides, since there were even potatoes in the beast world, there must be other things. If she saved some of each, she wouldn't be afraid of running out of food.

"We better hurry up! It's going to rain here soon."

Mo Ran spit out his snake tongue. He could feel the humidity in the air nearby increasing. It should rain soon. There were no caves nearby. They had to leave as soon as possible and find a place to stay to avoid the rain.

A man, a tiger, and a snake quickly crossed the grassland and came to a dense forest. The forest here was different from the previous one. The trees here seemed to be of the same species and all grew horizontally.

Could this actually be a tree?

He Jiaojiao remembered reading a book that introduced scenic spots in various places. In the book, there was a mention of a forest. It said that it looked like a forest, but in fact there was only one main tree. The others were branches that fell to the ground, took root, and grew back out of the soil.

If there really is only one tree in this forest, then this tree must be at least hundreds or even thousands of years old!

"Let's stay here!"

Mo Ran stopped and then carefully put He Jiaojiao down.

He Jiaojiao took a quick look and found a cave not far away. She pointed at it and said, "Why don't we live in a cave?"

Caves are so nice, no need to worry about leaks or anything.

"Jiaojiao, this rain should last for two days, and it will be very heavy. The cave is too low-lying. If there is water accumulation, it will definitely be flooded." Mo Ran didn't know if He Jiaojiao would be unhappy after saying this. After all, females in the animal world never listen to males.

"OK then!"

In the world of beasts, it is better to listen more to the arrangements of these natives. He Jiaojiao is a person who listens to advice, and at least she will not doubt any decision made by Mo Ran or Zi Yi.

Mo Ran and Zi Yi built a simple tree house as quickly as possible. The tree house was almost ten meters above the ground, so even if it rained heavily this time, there was no need to worry about it getting flooded.

Mo Ran and the others laid a thick layer of leaves on the floor of the tree house, and on top of the leaves were the animal skins that He Jiaojiao took out from the space. This way, there was no need to worry about the floor being uneven and He Jiaojiao's feet hurting.

Just as I finished everything, raindrops started falling.

Compared to the previous rain, this time He Jiaojiao experienced what a downpour really was. The raindrops were so big they could kill someone, and in a short while, everything around them was completely white, and nothing could be seen.

Looking at the vast expanse of white outside the tree house, He Jiaojiao was glad that she trusted Mo Ran and the others enough, otherwise there would be real danger.

It rained heavily all day long, but He Jiaojiao didn't feel anything. She felt a little sleepy after eating, but Mo Ran and Zi Yi kept frowning.

The rain was heavier than they had expected. Although their tree house was high enough, they still felt a little uneasy.

Just then, an uninvited guest arrived. His sudden intrusion made Mo Ran and Zi Yi feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
