Chapter 214 Heading to the Salt Fields
The resources by the sea are actually very abundant, so they don't need to compete with those seal pups at all.

Just like last time, Qiao Xixi found a receding puddle, caught a few fish and collected a lot of shellfish and oysters. Then she found a place to start a fire and grill the fish.

The aroma of grilled fish wafted across the beach on the sea breeze.

The seal cubs couldn't help but move closer to Qiao Xixi and the others because of the aroma of grilled fish. When they saw the grilled meat placed on the leaves, they swallowed hard.

"Big brother, that meat smells so good, I really want to eat it."

"I want some too. Let's go and snatch it from them. There are too many of us, they definitely can't beat us."

After discussing their plan, the seal cubs stealthily approached Qiao Xixi and the others.

When Xiya noticed them approaching, she tried to get up, but Qiao Xixi stopped her and told her to pretend she hadn't seen them.

Suddenly, a seal cub pounced, grabbed the fish meat from the ground, and ran away.

"Hey, why are you stealing our meat?"

Qiao Xixi pretended to be angry and stood up.

Several seal pups shook their heads proudly.

"Hahaha, what we grab is ours, who told you to be so stupid, hahaha."

Several seal cubs grabbed the grilled fish meat and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Mmm, it's so delicious! It tastes fragrant and sweet."

When Xiya saw the barbecue being eaten, she was so angry that her eyes turned red. It was really outrageous. If Qiao Xixi hadn't stopped her, she would have definitely gone and beaten them to a pulp.

Just as Xiya was fuming, the seal cubs suddenly clutched their stomachs and howled in pain.

"Oh, my stomach, my stomach hurts so much!"

"Waaaaah, there's something wrong with their meat, they're going to poison us."

Qiao Xixi slowly got up and walked over to the seal cubs.

"Are you scared now?"

The intense abdominal pain caused the seal pups to cry and beg for mercy.

"We know we were wrong, sob sob sob, please let us go."

"I can let you go, but you have to agree to two conditions: first, apologize to us; second, obey me from now on, and do whatever I tell you to do."

"well."

Once Qiao Xixi saw that they had agreed, she pretended to pat them on the shoulder.

As soon as she slapped them, the seal pups' pain disappeared.

The children scrambled to their feet in terror, staring at Qiao Xixi without daring to utter a sound.

Xiya looked at Qiao Xixi with her big eyes full of admiration.

In fact, Qiao Xixi only used 10 points to exchange for some pain relief powder in the space, which only lasted for 10 minutes and would not cause any real harm to their bodies.

"Yes, we're sorry, Xiya. We'll never, ever bully you again."

Xiya snorted.

The seal cub looked helplessly at Josie.

Qiao Xixi wouldn't force Xiya to forgive them; she simply said to them, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

The seal cubs sat obediently in front of Josie, looking like well-behaved students.

"I heard from Xiya that you didn't live in this area before. It was the appearance of the land beasts that forced you to move to this island, right?"

"Yes, that's right, it's all because of those wretched land beasts!"

"Have you ever sneaked back there? Do you know anything about the situation over there?"

The largest seal cub said, "Yes, we love our old home, so we often sneak back. There's plenty of food there, all of which we like."

"Then, do you have a way to take me there to have a look?"

The seal pups were surprised. "Would you like to visit our old home?"

Josh nodded. "Yes, is that okay?"

The seal cubs huddled together, whispered amongst themselves, and then agreed.

"Then I'll wait for you here tomorrow. You can't break your promise. If you come on time, I'll treat you to candy."

"Sugar, what is sugar?"

Qiao Xixi took out the candy from her space.

The seal cubs all loved the taste and promised Josh that they would be there on time the next day and wouldn't tell anyone.

After they left, Xiya swallowed the candy in her mouth and looked at Qiao Xixi curiously.

"Auntie, don't go over there, it's dangerous there."

"Don't worry, Auntie will take good care of herself."

Seeing that Qiao Xixi insisted, Xi Ya didn't say anything more.

After preparing all the food, Qiao Xixi took Xiya back to the rock cave.

She could clearly feel that Xi Jing exhaled when she returned.

It seems they still don't trust her, afraid she'll run away with Xiya.

Josie brought him the food, but didn't intend to tell him about her plans to go to other seas.

The next morning, when Qiao Xixi was about to entrust the little tiger cub to Xiya for temporary care, the little guy suddenly started meowing.

Qiao Xixi quickly hugged her and gently comforted her, "What's wrong? Didn't you just eat? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Little Demon, please check on the tiger cub quickly. What's wrong with him? Is he feeling unwell?"

"Host, wait a minute."

A moment later, the little demon's voice rang out again, "Host, the tiger cub is perfectly healthy, it's probably just that it can't bear to part with you."

"Good boy, your mother will be back soon."

"Let Xiya go with you too," Xijing suddenly said.

Josh was somewhat taken aback. "You know where I'm going?"

Xi Jing nodded. "Xi Ya is very familiar with that sea area. She can help you avoid many risks. We merfolk have the ability to control and resist water. Xi Ya can take you into the deep sea."

"Auntie, I can."

After much hesitation, Qiao Xixi finally agreed.

She took Xiya and Zaizai to the shore where she had arranged to meet the seal cub.

"If we go down from here, we can reach the island over there the fastest."

"it is good."

Josie followed them into the water. Looking at the endless sea, Josie was still a little scared, but she was unwilling to just wait and do nothing.

Xiya noticed her unease and gently touched the surface of the sea with her fingertip. The seawater around Qiao Xixi receded, as if an invisible barrier had formed an encirclement around her.

"Let's go."

Several seal cubs cleared a path in front of them, and Xiya was right next to Qiao Xixi.

It was very dark underwater. Without their help, she didn't even dare to imagine how she could silently approach the salt fields from underwater on her own.

The sea area where the salt fields are located is not close to their islands, but if they travel by sea, the journey can be shortened by more than half.

Several seal pups suddenly popped their heads above the water and looked back at Josh, saying, "It's just ahead."

As Qiao Xixi's face surfaced, she could see large numbers of land beasts on the shore not far away.

She could also see several tall, land-dwelling orcs holding long whips, warily watching their surroundings.

As Josh hesitated about whether to go ashore, a bear-like beast standing on the shore suddenly turned around and looked in their direction.
