Chapter 70 Floating Cloud Island

There are not many ways to travel in the desert. You can only rely on camels and your own feet. At most, you can pull a sled, nothing else.

The whole family was wrapped tightly, wearing scarves made of coarse cloth, with their faces buried in the scarves. There was no shelter from the endless sea of ​​sand, and the flying yellow sand was particularly fierce and spectacular.

Le Zhi was wearing thicker clothes than her brothers, with her calves wrapped with many strips of cloth as leg guards. The three brothers walked in front, blocking a lot of sand and dust for Xiao Si, and the camel followed behind, pulling a sled loaded with heavy objects.

At first, Le Zhi thought it was interesting to embark on an unknown journey. However, she had been busy traveling for four days without a break. Moreover, the desert environment was equally desolate wherever she went, and she had begun to feel visual fatigue.

Just now, she stepped on some plants without noticing, and the soles of her feet felt burning painfully. In addition, the sand was exposed to the scorching sun, and Le Zhi's feet were almost burned.

The three brothers noticed that the fourth brother behind them had unsteady steps and was showing signs of falling behind, so they stopped and looked back at the same time.

Le Zhi was holding the camel's body, standing on one leg, and taking off the straw sandal that was in the way on his left foot. His foot was covered in blood, red and swollen, and his fragile sole was pierced by messy wooden thorns, which kept oozing blood.

Feng Zhi walked over, picked up Xiao Si's feet, looked at them carefully for a while, and frowned.

"Second brother, I'll pull out the thorns on Little Four's feet, and you wrap her up with spider silk. I think she's stepped on the cactus."

Hua Zhi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and his dark compound eyes were about to burst into tears.

Xue Zhi stared at the glaring red color, feeling a little distressed. Even though Xiao Si had been playing around in the Beast City, he had never suffered any hardship. These days, he had been traveling so fast that he had very little time to rest. The sleepy little kid must be in a daze.

Le Zhi pouted. His second brother's spider silk contained paralyzing toxins, and his feet no longer hurt.

She said, "Am I too weak and delaying my journey?"

Feng Zhi said nothing. He held Xiao Si's armpits and placed her safely on the camel's hump, allowing her to rest for a while.

The second oldest, Huazhi, was the one who could say soft words. He said loudly, "That's not true. Little Fourth, even though your three brothers are all strong, they were also slugs like you when they were young. The third oldest was not as strong as you before. It took him a long time to prepare himself mentally to eat a vegetable worm."

Xuezhi turned his head away, his ears turned red.

Feng Zhi chuckled and nodded.

Le Zhi also started laughing, and his stomach was cramping from laughing.

Soon the family set off and continued walking towards the east where the sun was rising. The girl bounced on the camel's hump for a while and became so tired that she began to feel dizzy. She laid her upper body on the camel's head and fell into a deep sleep.

No one tried to wake Xiao Si up on the way, and the three of them walked steadily and powerfully, and did not stop until late at night.

The moon was high in the empty desert, and the air was bitingly cold. The third brother lit a bonfire with the flint he had prepared in advance, and the heat waves rolled out to a place with a warm current.

Le Zhi had a keen sense of smell and he smelled the scent of firewood. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his brothers were actually willing to take out animal skins and prepare to set up camp.

"Aren't we traveling tonight?" Le Zhi asked.

The second brother came over, holding a water bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "If we go further east, we will soon be out of the territory of the Erosion Beast City. We need to rest and recuperate, otherwise how can we deal with outsiders?"

"Xiao Si, give my second brother some water to drink. My throat is about to smoke."

Le Zhi jumped off the camel's hump, took the water bag from his second brother's hand, and blew a breath into the bag. Large water droplets instantly covered the surface of the bag, and the dry container became heavy.

Huazhi couldn't help himself, so he picked up the water bag and took a few gulps. The spring water was sweet and mellow, refreshing his lungs. His body had been dry all day, and now he felt extremely comfortable.

The second brother gave the fourth brother a thumbs up and praised: "Our fourth brother is really amazing. He can find water to drink wherever he goes." At night, they sat by the campfire and ate some dry and hard lizard meat. The fourth brother filled a can of water, sprinkled peeled jujubes in it, and cooked a pot of hot sour soup. They took turns drinking a lot.

Although the dinner was a bit simple, it was undoubtedly the only decent meal in the past few days.

When the family came to rest, there was only a large bear skin, which was not enough for several people to lie down together. The three brothers surrounded Xiao Si in the center to protect her from being woken up by the cold wind.

Who says cold-blooded animals don’t have a gentle side?
Their speed was quite fast, and within a month they had reached the nearest beast city, Winged Beast City.

In the distance, you can vaguely see the end of the yellow sand land, with tall tree crowns and lush forests. The stream is not long, but it is much better than the desolate Gobi Desert.

Xiao Si was not in a good condition, his cheeks were slightly red, and he curled up in Feng Zhi's broad arms, breathing heavily, and it seemed that he had a cold.

It took Le Zhi a long time to open his emerald eyes, and he said happily to the scene in the distance: "We are almost out of the desert!"

The eldest brother put his hand on Xiao Si's forehead, and his cold and rough hand relieved the dizziness in Le Zhi's head.

Feng Zhi: "We can have a good rest at noon. Xiao Si, bear with it for a while. There are many fun things to do in Winged Beast City."

Xiao Si then sneezed loudly and sniffed his nose, with a happy expression on his face.

The people living in Winged Beast City are all bird-tribe orcs. Most of them are arrogant by nature and don't like to deal with outsiders. They live on the Floating Cloud Island high in the sky, flying freely in the wind.

The resource advantages here are obvious, with a variety of fruits and vegetables produced in abundance, fish and shrimp migrating in the streams, and dense forests.

When Le Zhi arrived at the stream, her three brothers weren't paying attention, so she playfully jumped into the water to catch fish.

She saw that the small animals with silver scales were particularly eye-catching and looked delicious.

The three grown men were still washing the sand off their clothes when Xiao Si suddenly emerged from the water with a herring in her mouth. Her curly hair, made of seaweed, stuck to the back of her head, making her look like a mermaid.

Le Zhi threw many of the small fish she caught onto the shore, with shiny fish scales still sticking to her face. She had already eaten a few of the restless fish as a tribute.

"Let's eat this! It's better than jerky!"

The three men were shirtless, and the water splashed by Xiao Si poured all over their heads. The water drops kept sliding down their faces, making their sturdy and strong bodies particularly dazzling.

Although the three brothers are insect beasts and do not abide by various rules, they all know clearly in their hearts that Xiao Si is not a younger brother, but a beautiful and lovely female beast.

This cub has been led astray. He does not shy away from the fact that he is of a different gender from his three brothers. If he continues to act like this, something bad will happen sooner or later in a foreign country.

The second child said earnestly: "Little Four, the brothers are taking a bath, go play over there."

The eldest and the third brother covered their pretty faces, not daring to look any further. The fourth child's clothes were all wet, and although the girl's body was shriveled, her graceful curves were still stunning.

Xiao Si was completely confused. He just said "Oh" obediently and ran away to play somewhere else.

Feng Zhi: "Why don't we teach Xiao Si and Xiong Shou something else? If we continue like this..."

Hua Zhi wiped the water stains off his face and said, "Brother, look at Xiao Si, he just listens in one ear and out the other. Even if I tell him, how much can he really hear?"

The third elder opened and closed his mouth. "Hey, why don't we make a rope to tie up the fourth elder? Female beasts are very rare in Winged Beast City. She is born with the ability to comfort others. It's not a good thing for her to be remembered by others."

The three of them fell into a long silence...
