Chapter 1034 Ba Dou Didn't Return on Time
Chapter 1034: Ba Dou Didn't Return on Time Besides busying herself with this, Xiao Han also needed to weave a basket using softer brambles or thin branches.
As long as aesthetics aren't a concern, this is quite easy to make.
Since Ling Xiao was always following her around, Xiao Han instructed him to collect brambles and thin branches.
Arrange the twigs in a crisscross pattern, first creating a bottom, then folding it up, filling the gaps with brambles, and finally wrapping the edges with bark.
Xiao Han's craftsmanship was really not good; this basket was extremely rough and ugly.
But what's the problem? As long as the bark rope straps are installed and you can carry things on your back, that's fine!
Among these big shots, many are very skillful.
A beautiful and powerful woman with phoenix eyes, her Taoist name is Yaoguang.
After watching Xiao Han's creation, she immediately set to work and wove a basket herself.
Using the same materials, Yao Guang chose only uniformly thick brambles, and the basket she wove was several times more exquisite than Xiao Han's.
Xiao Han felt that she could simply offer ideas and let skilled people like Yao Guang carry them out.
Unfortunately, she was the lowest-ranking member of this group, a little Karami, and dared not give orders to anyone.
Xiao Han expressed deep regret over this.
At midday, the desert was filled with scorching heat.
Ba Dou hadn't returned yet, which made Xiao Han very worried.
After a busy morning, the other two wolves were also cooked.
To make it easier to carry, the roasted wolf meat was roughly divided into fifteen equal portions and distributed to each person for their own safekeeping.
If there's no food to be found later, whoever finishes eating first will go hungry first.
Apart from Ling Xiao, a simple child who has never suffered much hardship and has lived in the God Realm for over a thousand years, all these big shots are shrewd and cunning.
So in the afternoon, everyone started thinking of ways to make ordinary versions of storage bags, so that they could be used to store supplies later.
A basket is the best choice, but some people also use grass stems to weave bags-like items to carry things.
There was no other way; faced with this life-skills idiot, Xiao Han had to take matters into her own hands when it came to Ling Xiao's share.
Fortunately, she could let the boy do the hard labor, while Xiao Han could only do the technical work, which made her feel a little better.
However, while working, Xiao Han couldn't help but look up at the sky from time to time, and her worry for Ba Dou was already showing on her face.
She took the work to Xin Ziqi and asked him questions as she worked.
"Fellow Daoist Xin, if Ba Dou encounters a bird of prey like an eagle or falcon on the way and swallows it whole, wouldn't it be completely dead?"
Xin Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and really couldn't answer the question.
After all, this special space belonged to the Azure Heaven God, and they only knew that they themselves should not die. As for Ba Dou, that low-level little demon bird, they really didn't know if it would die.
She could only comfort Xiao Han, "Don't worry, even if Ba Dou has lost its demonic power, it's so smart, it shouldn't be eaten by the eagle."
Xiao Han had no other choice but to worry.
There's water here, shade from the sun, and for now, dried meat and plants to stave off hunger. Today is quite comfortable.
However, Xiao Han was an exception, because it was getting dark and Ba Dou still hadn't returned, and she was getting restless.
Although the people were also waiting for Ba Dou to return so they could decide which direction to take, they weren't as worried about Ba Dou's life or death as Xiao Han was.
Xiao Han had already taken the dried intestines off the sticks and put them away. There was no rush to fill them with water; they could do that before leaving.
However, she had already put the dried wolf heart, liver, and other internal organs into her basket and covered them with a bunch of plants.
Since we hadn't even started our trek yet, we needed to conserve food.
Therefore, today's food consists of meat from the bones that haven't been completely removed, and three wolf heads.
After a hearty breakfast, no one was very hungry.
If you're not hungry, this unpalatable, tasteless wolf meat is naturally hard to swallow.
Therefore, the wolf's head and the meat bones became food for tomorrow.
Ba Dou still hadn't returned by nightfall.
Xiao Han felt as if she were being scratched by a cat, yet she was helpless.
Xin Ziqi and Old Man Yu were discussing what to do that night.
After Xiao Han applied herbal medicine to Old Man Yu's hand, which had been stung by a scorpion, the pain and swelling had significantly decreased, which made him very happy.
After applying the medicine for a few more days, it should be almost completely healed.
Ling Xiao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to defecate.
In his memory, he had experienced this physiological problem when he was a few years old, before he started practicing cultivation.
He never expected that even after becoming a God Emperor, he would still have to go through this kind of physiological problem.
Actually, after we found a water source yesterday and drank a lot of water, everyone inevitably had to urinate.
But urinating is always easier.
Now, when he needs to defecate, he feels completely unwell.
However, a living person can't be suffocated by poop.
Ling Xiao could only secretly avoid the crowd and sneak into the woods to relieve himself.
He barely managed to suppress his nausea and wiped his bottom with a handful of dry grass. Just as he pulled up his pants, he felt something lunge at him.
Ling Xiao rolled to the side to avoid it, and in the dim light, he could see that it was a wolf that was pouncing on him.
He didn't even bother to get up; he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Wolf!"
This wolf was naturally one of the two wolves that escaped yesterday.
The wolf missed its bite and turned to pounce again.
Ling Xiao was still lying on the ground and could only quickly roll over again to avoid being attacked head-on.
The wolf's claws landed on his shoulder, but thanks to the protection of his robes, they failed to break his skin.
Hearing the commotion, the others rushed over.
Seeing that the wolf outnumbered the people, it immediately rushed into the depths of the forest and disappeared without a trace.
Ling Xiao got up, quickly tidied himself up, and greeted the crowd.
Upon learning that the wolves had already fled deep into the woods, everyone returned together.
Qian Baiwan couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing in the woods all by yourself in this pitch black?"
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "Is that even a question? Of course, he's going to pee."
Ling Xiao didn't say anything; after all, in the darkness, no one could see that his face was red.
Xiao Han was a little slow to arrive because she was polishing her walking stick. She stepped forward and asked with concern, "The wolf didn't hurt you, did it?"
Ling Xiao replied casually, "I wasn't hurt, I dodged it."
Xin Ziqi reminded everyone again not to go far alone at night.
Old Man Yu began setting up the formation again.
Ling Xiao lay by the fire and suddenly thought of a question.
After he borrowed luck from Xiao Han, Xiao Han should have started to have bad luck. But apart from suffering with everyone else in this space, nothing else went wrong.
On the contrary, he was attacked by wild wolves when he was acting alone.
Did he fail to borrow the luck at all?
Furthermore, now that I'm going to experience the basic necessities of life like a mortal, and even sleep on the sand, covered in dirt, wouldn't that make me even more unlucky?
For a moment, Ling Xiao couldn't tell whether he or Xiao Han was more unlucky.
The campfire burned brightly throughout the night. Xin Ziqi arranged for people to take turns keeping watch, and with Old Man Yu having rearranged the maze formation, the wolves did not attack them during the night.
As dawn broke again and another day began, there was still no sign of Ba Dou.
Xiao Han's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a large hand, causing her unbearable pain.
