Chapter 1126 - 1125: The Sandstorm Ceases
This greatly relieved Ji Nuan.
Anxiously waiting until nightfall, the sandstorm showed no signs of abating, and Ji Nuan finally fell asleep in Xiu Yan’s arms from exhaustion.
Seeing the little female close her eyes and breathe evenly, the Orc also breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes.
The camels outside were already accustomed to such situations; Maomao comfortably hid behind his companions, occasionally finding time to nibble on the fruit that Ji Nuan had just fed them.
Early the next day, Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan woke up to find that the sandstorm outside the tent had subsided significantly but was still blowing, and the camels maintained their previous position without moving.
Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan cracked open a small slit in the tent, the sky outside was still a murky yellow, filled with the scent of sand and dust, suffocating to breathe.
Xiu Yan took out some hay from a basket on his back and handed it outside, right in front of Maomao at the tent entrance.
Smelling the fresh scent of hay, Maomao joyfully called out and pulled some under his chin, then shared the rest with his mates.
Without expending energy and still receiving delicious food, Maomao’s companions grew increasingly fond of staying by Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan’s side.
Due to the weather, the two beasts didn’t dare to take the risk of making a fire; instead, they simply ate some fruit and the dried meat from before.
After eating, Ji Nuan became sleepy—this was the perfect reflection of herself—and soon dozed off in Xiu Yan’s arms.
Trapped in the tent due to the unfavorable weather, Xiu Yan also yawned, lay down holding his little companion, and once again drifted into dreamland.
In the evening, the sandstorm intensified again, and the howling wind and the noise of objects hitting the tent unexpectedly woke both beasts.
Ji Nuan rubbed her eyes groggily and nuzzled her fuzzy head into the Orc’s broad chest, "So noisy."
Xiu Yan touched her head, "Go to sleep, the sandstorm has started again, and for now, we can’t leave."
Thinking about it now, they were lucky; thankfully, they had prepared plenty of food and water at the foot of the mountain, otherwise, a few more sandstorms like this and even the Beast God couldn’t save them.
The little female in his arms snuggled closer in Xiu Yan’s embrace, and before long, her breathing once again evened out.
Xiu Yan frowned, the dusty air was truly unbearable for someone with a keen sense of smell like an Orc.
Frowning, he had no choice but to hold his little companion and enter dreamland.
The next morning, Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan awoke from their dreams to find that the roaring of the sandstorm outside the tent had finally ceased.
Xiu Yan walked to the edge of the Beast Skin tent and slowly lifted a small slit.
Indeed, the environment outside had returned to normal, with the bright sun shining high.
Stepping out of the tent, Moumou and his mates had already found many broken prickly fruits in the surrounding sand, a result of the sandstorm.
This is the name Xiu Yan gave to the cactus.
Each one eating juicily, upon seeing Xiu Yan emerge, Maomao even happily called out before lowering his head to continue eating.
At this time, Ji Nuan also packed up and stepped out of the tent, her first action was to stretch greatly, "My goodness, it’s finally stopped, this air is so comfortable now."
After a simple meal, Ji Nuan nibbled on a fruit while climbing onto Maomao’s back.
