The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1040: I've Come Out of There

When he rested in the evening, Ling Xiao's spirits were actually a little better.

Clearly, the snake venom shouldn't do anything to him.

It seems the folk remedy of swallowing snake gallbladders raw has worked.

Not to mention Xiao Han, even Xin Ziqi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They are now a unified team. If Ling Xiao's poison injury is severe, it will drag down the entire team.

Of course, Ling Xiao's injury wasn't all bad. At least Xiao Han felt that without Ling Xiao clinging to her like an octopus, she wouldn't dream of being entangled by a giant snake anymore.

After another night's rest, the wound on the back of Ling Xiao's hand didn't look much different, but he recovered quite well and no longer needed anyone to help him walk.

Snake gall only prevents the snake venom from damaging the body's internal organs; the wound will still fester for some time before the body's immune system can slowly repair it.

It's already a blessing that they only suffered this little bit of pain.

Today, as you walk through the desert, you can see many plants that grow there.

Ba Dou told Xiao Han that they were almost at the edge of the desert.

This gave everyone a boost of spirits.

My previously exhausted body is now revitalized.

Upon seeing birds pecking at the small red berries on some sand thorns, the great monks rushed over like children.

Xiao Han was no exception; she grabbed Ling Xiao and ran after them.

Then, disregarding the prickly thorns, everyone picked them and stuffed them into their mouths.

The fruit looked about the same size as a goji berry. Xiao Han tasted it and found it to be sweet and sour.

For these thirsty and hungry people, it was truly delicious.

So they picked and took away all the red berries from this patch of sand thorns, and even some of the green berries that hadn't yet turned red.

They traveled like locusts in a swarm, searching for anything edible to eat.

That night, although they hadn't truly escaped the desert, the increasing number of desert plants not only provided sustenance but also quenched their thirst, saving their already scarce food and water.

On the eighth day after entering this special space, their team finally saw vast stretches of grassland.

Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

However, they still have to keep moving forward, looking for water and food, to survive here for three years.

By noon, although the sun was still blazing, the temperature was significantly lower than in the desert, and you no longer felt like you would be roasted alive.

A wild rabbit suddenly darted out of the grass and ran off into the distance.

Fatty Wang was the first to shout, "Catch it and eat it!"

Then, the body, which had been exhausted from the long journey, was stimulated by the meat and became energetic again, and began to run wildly to chase the rabbit.

However, it wasn't just Fatty Wang who was spurred on by the thought of eating meat. Qingwei, Yaoguang, and five or six others, including Granny Liu who had become much more low-key along the way, all followed suit.

Xiao Han didn't think that this group of people who had been starving for seven or eight days could catch up with the rabbit, so she walked slowly beside Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao assumed that Xiao Han hadn't done anything because she was taking care of him.

He whispered to Xiao Han, "Don't feel regretful. After we return to the God Realm, I will definitely take you to taste all the delicacies of the God Realm."

"Okay," Xiao Han grinned and agreed.

She had no doubt about that.

After all, if Ling Xiao can easily invite so many people to a banquet, why can't he invite her alone?

Xin Ziqi, Old Man Yu, and the others continued walking at a leisurely pace.

Ba Dou then went with Fatty Wang and the others to chase wild rabbits.

Seeing that the hare had left the group far behind, it hurriedly flew in front of the hare and then swooped down aggressively.

The rabbit was genuinely frightened and quickly changed direction and ran away.

Croton flew over to intercept again.

The hare probably never expected that not only were eagles and falcons catching it, but now a tiny bird, much smaller than itself, was also trying to catch it.

Once the rabbit realized what had happened, it turned around and kicked out at Ba Dou with its back leg.

Ba Dou almost got kicked, and immediately got angry.

Bah! A mere little wild rabbit doesn't even respect Grandpa Ba! This is outrageous!

Grandpa Ba was very angry. He squealed and circled around the rabbit's head, determined to scratch it all over with his tiny, pitiful little bird claws.

Its persistent pursuit gave Wang Pangzi and the others, who were about to give up, renewed confidence. They continued to chase after it, panting heavily, and even launched a flanking attack.

Seeing that the two-legged creature was chasing after them again, the hare ignored Ba Dou's harassment and fled once more.

But Ba Dou, taking advantage of its aerial advantage, managed to scratch the rabbit, landing a claw on one of its eyes.

The hare stumbled and rolled over on the ground.

Fatty Wang immediately shouted excitedly, "Badou, you did a great job! Stop it and don't let it get away!"

The panicked rabbit randomly chose a direction and continued running, but it was heading straight towards Yao Guang.

From a distance, Xiao Han saw the noble and beautiful goddess Yao Guang leap and pin the wild rabbit to the ground.

Then came her excited shouts, "I caught it! I caught it! Hahaha..."

Xiao Han thought that if she could capture the scene in front of her and then show it to Yao Guang when she transformed back into an unapproachable goddess, it might break her defenses in a second and cause her to fall from grace once again.

Although the cultivators chasing the rabbits collapsed on the grass, panting heavily, their joyful laughter made the cultivators behind them smile involuntarily as well.

At this moment, these great cultivators who had lived for tens of thousands of years all turned into teenagers.

Because they hadn't found a water source and there were no tools to start a fire by rubbing sticks together, even with rabbits, they couldn't get cooked meat.

Xin Ziqi told everyone to stop and rest, and took out the last bit of water he had left to give to Ba Dou so that it could continue exploring the way.

Xiao Han quickly refused, saying that there was still water left from the croton.

She took out the last bit of dried meat, broke it into pieces and fed it to Ba Dou, and then took out Ba Dou's water sac.

After eating and drinking his fill, Ba Dou spread his wings and flew away again to explore the way ahead.

However, before Ba Dou could fly out of everyone's sight, a falcon flew in from afar and swooped straight down on Ba Dou.

Xiao Han, who had been watching Ba Dou leave, was so startled that she jumped up.

"Ba Dou, watch out!"

Even though she knew that Ba Dou couldn't hear her, she still subconsciously ran and shouted as she chased after him.

He even forgot about his basket and just ran as fast as he could towards the distance.

Ling Xiao subconsciously followed after them.

The others, who were originally planning to rest, couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly followed along.

Xin Ziqi grabbed Xiao Han's basket and ran after the others.

High in the distance, Ba Dou, taking advantage of its small size, nimbly dodged up and down.

The eagle followed, circling and chasing after them.

Ba Dou seized the opportunity and landed on the falcon's back.

Let it catch its breath first, and then deal with the other party.

Xiao Han was too far away to see clearly and thought that Ba Dou had been caught by a falcon.

Suddenly his legs went weak and he fell onto the grass.
