About half an hour later, Qin Xiao and his companions were continuously weaving and searching through the vast expanse of Cactus Paradise. Sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves of the cacti, casting dappled light and shadows that reflected on their slightly tired yet still curious faces.
After a grueling search, they finally made a discovery: in an inconspicuous corner sat several uniquely shaped cactus dolls. These dolls were small, exquisite, and adorable, with an intensely vibrant emerald green color all over, looking as fresh and natural as if they had just been plucked from nature. They were adorned with playful and lively patterns—some curved like crawling snakes, others straight like feathered arrows—as if endowed with a unique vitality, waiting for someone destined to awaken them.
Particularly eye-catching was the exquisite little drum placed in front of each doll. When someone gently activated the doll, it would act as if it were under a spell, tirelessly brandishing the drumsticks in its hands and rhythmically beating the little drum before it. Accompanied by the crisp and pleasant sound of the drum, the doll would take firm, powerful strides and march bravely forward.
