Chapter 192 Cave Residence
Although Dick did not know Xiaomo at that time, he had heard about her from the older guards.
It is said that Su Xiaomo was first found in the dense forest of the snake tribe.
She was with Artis at the time.
"Well, Xiaomo, I'll go with you," Dick turned and said to the guards behind him, "You wait outside."
The snake tribe's dense forest was filled with lush trees and intertwined roots everywhere, so even so many guards were unable to enter.
Xiaomo sat on Dick's tail and walked towards the depths of the forest.
This place is full of memories.
Although the trees are no longer as lush and vibrant as they were in early summer, those memories have not faded at all.
That terrifying night has long passed.
Looking back on the encounter with Attis, all the troubles are now a thing of the past.
The further you go in, the clearer the cave where Xiaomo had stayed becomes.
The branch that was broken by Attis still lay there quietly.
In the cave, the ashes from the burnt branches did not disappear.
"Dick, is there a cliff above this forest?" Although Xiaomo had already made up his mind not to leave the beast world again, no matter what, he still wanted to know how he got through.
Perhaps, we will find the legendary gate of time and space.
"There is indeed a cliff above this forest," Dick said, "The mountain range in the dense forest is the border mountain that connects to the Lion Tribe's territory. The Lion Tribe's territory is relatively high, and our location is more like a valley."
Although the mountains in the beast world are crisscrossed, the mountains surrounding the lion clan naturally form the boundaries of their territory.
Xiaomo looked up at the treetops that blocked out the sun, and could not see any trace of the mountain at all.
"Is that cliff far from here?" Xiaomo asked.
"Well, not far," Dick said, "but the terrain is quite different."
"Oh." Xiaomo nodded.
"Xiaomo, did you fall here from that cliff?" Dick asked a little incredulously.
"I'm not sure either," Xiaomo looked around, "In my original world, I did fall off a cliff, and then landed here."
"That shouldn't be the cliff where he fell," Dick said. "The cliff is too far away. Artis was seriously injured after falling. You are so thin and weak, there is no way you are still alive."
That’s right, Xiaomo thought, there weren’t any serious injuries on his body at the time, just his clothes were torn, which was not normal at all.
All I can say is that she in the original world is dead, time and space are disordered, and she has been transported to the world of beasts again.
There was no need for her to go to the cliff; that was where Artis had fallen, not where she had fallen.
Xiaomo felt relieved.
"Well, it shouldn't have fallen from there," Xiaomo looked up and saw endless trees in front of her. "Dick, let's go back."
"Okay, Xiaomo, let's go," Dick said, "This is close to the border of the snake tribe's territory. Usually, there are few orcs coming here. The trees are tall and dense, and there are many mosquitoes."
Xiaomo nodded and followed Dick out of the forest.
Lid's original palace had been overturned, and there was no telling how much blood of orcs, both his own and other races, was stained inside.
The entire snake tribe was devastated by Lid, the land was barren, and the orcs fled. Orcs like Teddy and Corgi who returned to the snake tribe were considered to have returned relatively early.
Most of the snake orcs are still waiting to see how the new snake king Dick performs. After all, Dick has been living in the waters of the Eagle tribe and is not familiar with all the orcs.
After Dick returned to the orcs, the first thing he did was to tear down Lid's palace.
He did not build a new palace. Although the snake orcs had no problem driving piles, laying foundations and building houses, Dick still refused the guards' request to build another palace.
There is a lot of work to be done and the Snake Tribe is seriously short of material and human resources. Dick wants to put all his energy into restoring the prosperity of the Snake Tribe.
Therefore, Dick's residence was not a palace, but a natural cave.
Xiaomo sat on Dick's tail and saw a cave in front of her that was about one person tall.
The cave is quite large and the furnishings inside are simple.
The cave was decorated to welcome Xiaomo's arrival.
At the entrance is a door curtain made of strings of small gourds, which is simple and neat.
The doorway is decorated with many wheat ears with the seeds removed. They are golden and look particularly beautiful.
"Xiaomo, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you," Dick said embarrassedly, "The place where we live is a bit shabby, I have prepared another cave for you, it's right next to it."
Dick brought Xiaomo to a cave at the corner.
This cave is a little smaller than the previous one.
But this cave is obviously more exquisite.
The stones at the entrance of the cave have been carefully carved to form an arched entrance.
The door curtain is made of colorful small conch shells.
Above the arch, a few clusters of unknown small flowers bloomed pink and purple in late autumn, like a natural decorative painting.
"Xiaomo, I'm sorry to have wronged you," Dick said, "This cave is a bit shabby."
"Dick, don't say that. I don't feel shabby at all," Xiaomo said with a smile. "Just looking at this archway, you can tell how much effort was put into it."
It would be impossible to carve the entire cave wall into a regular arch in such a short time without sufficient patience and superb skills.
What's more, in the animal world where various technologies and tools were not developed, it was very difficult to carve such an arch.
"Dick, I want to go in and take a look." Xiaomo said.
Even though it was just a simple cave, Xiaomo liked it very much because Dick put so much effort into it.
Dick lowered his tail to the ground, and Xiaomo walked down from Dick's tail.
I couldn't help but reach out and touch the small conch door curtains. Each one looked like a tiny pearl, with different colors, but more diverse shapes than pearls.
Xiaomo opened the curtain and entered the cave.
Although the furnishings in the cave are simple, there is a particularly eye-catching piece of clothing.
It is a wedding dress similar to an evening gown.
Different from the wedding dresses of the previous beast kings, the style of this wedding dress is similar to the appearance of a mermaid.
Just by looking at the wedding dress, one can feel that the woman wearing it must be a beautiful woman with curvaceous figure.
These are not the most eye-catching things. What is eye-catching is that it also emits a light blue light all over its body.
The skirt looks like layers of fish scales neatly stacked together. When you wear it, you look more like a mermaid bride.
"Dick, this wedding dress is so special," Xiaomo smiled and turned to look at him, "What is it made of? Why is it the same as your body and can also emit a light blue light?"
"This..." Dick hesitated, "Xiaomo, do you like this dress?"
