Although the desert is desolate, at least there will be one or two dead grass that has not yet died, or one or two tenacious little lives. The desert gives people the feeling that there is only death silence and despair.

There is still heat.

Xiaoyuer raised her hand and placed it on her forehead, looked at Scotland, who was packing her paragliding not far away, and asked, "Gran, why should we leave without saying goodbye?"

The spaceship administrator uncle had already said that he would send them to the border of Akatsuki Country. She really didn't understand why Scotland jumped off the spaceship... Although paragliding was really fun.

"The spacecraft will only dock in cities near Akatsuki. At that time, we may be investigated when we get off the spacecraft. What if there is another person like Juezawa?" Scotland said, "and our operation must be hidden this time. The fewer people know, the better. It is much better to land in such a place without people than landing in a city."

"Oh, that's it..." Xiaoyuer nodded and did not ask again.

At this time, Scotland had packed up his paragliding. He came over and took Xiaoyu'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, I've confirmed it before I came down. Our current location is not far from the border of Akira Country. You can enter Akira Country by walking a few more steps. Do you want to go to the necklace to have fun?"

"No." Xiaoyuer shook her head and said, "I want to go with Gran."

"Then let's go now." As he said that, Scottish mental power quietly circulated, and cool water elements poured out from his body and were transmitted to Xiaoyu'er's body through his arms.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when Xiao Yuer used his mental power to treat him (Chapter 20), which was so similar to this scene now.

The little fish only felt a cool feeling all over her body, and the unbearable feeling disappeared instantly. Naturally, she knew it was Scotland's actions. So she turned her head and looked over, just facing Scotland's eyes.

The two of them smiled knowingly and walked hand in hand towards the direction where the main city of Akatsuki Country is.

Xiaodu, the main city of Xiaozhi Kingdom, was originally named Shuize City (249), and was the main city of Daze Kingdom. After Xiaozhi Kingdom captured Shuize City in one fell swoop and destroyed the Daze Kingdom, Shuize City was also renamed to Xiaodu.

The place where Scotland and Xiaoyu landed was not far from Xiao, and they arrived in a few hours by carriage... But this is the desert, the carriage will fall into the sand, and the only mare among the three thunderbolts was pregnant. Scotland could not bear to leave it alone in the necklace. Therefore, the two could only walk to Xiaodu, and the journey of a few hours became a whole day.

Soon, the sky began to darken slowly, and the temperature also fell with the sky, becoming pleasant.

Scotland stopped transporting water elements, looked up and said, "Let's camp here to rest."

Xiaoyuer nodded. She had always been extremely obedient to Scotland's arrangements.

While taking out the camping tent, Scotland released the ladybug Xiao Hei, who came with him, out of the necklace.

"Where is this?" Xiao Hei asked in a voice transmission.

"We have to camp here tonight," Scotland said while setting up a tent, "Look at if there are any hidden insects here and drive them away."

In fact, the desert is not as dead as it seems. There are actually many creatures hidden under the sand. In order to avoid the high temperatures during the day, they usually come out to move at night.

Xiao Hei didn't answer, flapped his wings and flew down from Scotland, walked around the camp for a while, lay on Xiaoyu'er's knees, and then emitted waves of mental fluctuations.

Those mental fluctuations were very weak, and even Scotland could only respond slightly, and what exactly did it convey...

Scotland stopped the work in his hand and listened carefully.

"gather……?"

"Gran what are you talking about?" Xiao Yuer asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Can't you feel it?" asked Scotland, "the message from Xiao Hei."

Xiao Yuer still looked puzzled, and it seemed that she didn't notice it.

"Little devil, can you understand the message I sent?" Xiao Hei's voice sounded in Scotland's mind.

"It can be felt, but it is not clear." Scotland replied truthfully.

"But only the bugs can sense the message I send." Xiao Hei said in confusion.

"Maybe it's because I'm more mentally sensitive." Scotland explained and started setting up a tent again. He didn't care what Xiao Hei said. He thought that people with strong mentally might be able to feel it, and Xiao Yuer should be able to feel it after a while of growing up.

"Maybe it is..." Xiao Hei could only accept this explanation, after all, he has not come into contact with many humans.

"How about it, have you received the response?" Scotland asked.

"I don't know yet, but the bugs that receive the message should come."

"So sure?"

"Of course, because I'm very high."

"That's it..." Scotland lit a fire while talking to Xiao Hei. Naturally, there was no firewood in the desert, so he could only use fine carbon as firewood.

"Xiao Hei, you just said 'level'. Is there a level division between insects?" The question was Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Hei's voice transmission did not deliberately avoid her. She kept listening to the chat between Scotland and Xiao Hei.

"Of course there is." Xiao Hei replied.

"How do you divide that?" Xiaoyuer continued to ask.

"If it's inconvenient, don't say it." Scotland added.

"This is not a secret, of course it can be said." Speaking of this, Xiao Hei paused and continued to explain, "The grading standard for insects is very simple, there is only one, that is, the level of wisdom... or mental power."

"Because insects are creatures without wisdom, there are very few who can cultivate wisdom, and most of them live by instinct. For those tribes who have cultivated wisdom, they will obey unconditionally. In some ways, mental power can also be regarded as a measure of knowledge. Therefore, the higher the mental power, the higher the status of insects in the Zerg."

"Wasn't the God-Transforming Worm a natural 'Royal' to the Zerg?" Scotland asked.

"That's of course, otherwise why do you think the insects in the Chongming Village will obey Lord Zhuzu?"

"Gran." Xiao Yuer suddenly asked, "Who is Lord Cang Zu? What is the God-Changing Worm? Is it the ancient God-Changing Worm mentioned in the book?"

By the way.

Scotland then realized... He had not told Xiaoyuer about his agreement with Lord Zhu Zu.

"Xiao Hei, do you want to say it?" Scottish voice transmission asked.

『…』

"Tell me." Xiao Hei was silent for a while, and then agreed.

"Then Xiao Hei, tell Xiao Yuer and tell me about the agreement between me and Lord Zhu Zu." Scotland said.

After saying that, Scotland took out the pot and ingredients and started making dinner. Xiao Hei slowly told Xiaoyuer...

"So that's how it is... I didn't expect that there would be so many things happening during the time when Gran left." After hearing Xiao Hei's words, Xiao Yuer couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I'll take you to Chongming Village next time. The insects in that village are all magical." Scotland walked over with a smile, pinched the little fish's face and said, "The rice is ready, go and eat it."

"Yes." Xiaoyuer nodded and walked towards the fire. Xiaohei flew to Scotland's shoulder and stopped.

"Why haven't the bug you summoned appeared yet?" Scotland asked.

It has been almost half an hour since Xiao Hei sent the message, but no bug appeared. Could it be that there is no bug in this area?

"I don't know either, maybe there are no bugs in this area." Xiao Hei replied with some uncertainty.

"It's a desert after all..."
