The two beasts also collected the cacti scattered nearby, broken by the sandstorm.
Although Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan could no longer eat these, they could serve as food for Maomao and the others.
The ones that were snapped off were not any thick trunks, mostly undernourished or newly grown weak branches.
Not to mention the water content, the flesh left after peeling the skin would probably be very little.
The sandstorm was fierce; about one-third of the cactus they encountered yesterday was buried in sand.
The surrounding environment also bewildered the two beasts, with the storm creating sandbags and flattening some sand dunes.
It even brought some things that weren't there before, as Ji Nuan saw some sparse green plants around, not cactuses, but more like balls of grass rolled together.
Their roots were not visible, and they would roll away with the wind blowing.
