Richard: They should have led their troops into Pyramid City by now. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Then, in the situation of being surrounded by many people, he probably climbed day and night to solve the root cause of this Anubis invasion earlier.

Thinking about it from another perspective, Li Mengxi couldn't help but feel very sorry for Richard. Because, they can now be said to be running private affairs, specifically taking Barrett back to Eden Village.

He had already promised Igarashi Suke, and now even the excuse of "focusing on the overall situation" is really ashamed to say. The name of righteousness is not a convenient tool to break promises casually.

And although the priorities are different, the matter of bringing Barriet back to her hometown does not conflict with the process of resolving the Anubis invasion, and it can even be said to be very smooth.

Because, although Li Mengxi has come to the conclusion that the "Black Rod of the Dead King" is the source, he actually doesn't know where the person holding this black rod is.

If you want to solve the incident, you must first investigate in this desert. However, it is said that it is necessary to investigate, but in fact, there are no too clear clues, and you can follow the vine and point to the target. The situation they are facing now is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the strategy is only a carpet search.

And since the entire map has to be searched, what difference does it make to where to go first? Since there is no difference, it doesn't matter if you start investigating Barrett's hometown first.

Therefore, after resting for a night at the foot of the Longji Mountain Range that had just entered the desert, the investigation team led by Li Mengxi went straight to Eden Village.

Of course, they couldn't go on foot, but they didn't have desert-specific mounts. If it's in another MM, when you see the setting that the mount speed corresponds to the terrain, most people will collect different types of mounts just in case.

But in this mystery world, this is really hard to do. The reason lies in the realism pursued here in all aspects.

Here, mounts are classified as creature items, and although they can also be stored in the warehouse as items, they need to be fed or they will die due to deterioration.

Feeding, excretion, and proper care of the body, plus different kinds of mounts have different characteristics, and the same kind of mounts may also have their own habits.

Because of such a series of troubles, it is not easy to raise one person even if it is not easy, and if you raise a large group, you don't have to think about doing anything all day long.

Of course, you can also entrust a post house or individual practitioners to raise it on your behalf, but the cost is relatively high, and most people can't afford it. So this is a really cruel place for mount collectors.

However, even if Li Mengxi and the others could only ride horses, and the speed of the horses would be weakened by at least half in the desert, three days was still a bit too long, and one and a half days was normal. You know, the mounts here are as fast as real cars.

So the fundamental reason is not the mount, but that Li Mengxi himself is dragging time.

This would not solve any problem at all, and it was a decision that was quite incorrect for both the Barrett affair and the Anubis invasion.

Li Mengxi is still very clear about this, but he also has a hard time doing this.

On the first day of departure, everyone passed through three villages one after another, and all the houses in them became ownerless, and naturally there was no one in them.

From then on, Li Mengxi was even more certain of the fact that they were likely to see the same situation in Eden Village. Realizing this, he couldn't help but stop thinking about what might happen after Barrett saw the sight of his hometown with his own eyes.

However, they are still moving forward, and as long as they do not stop, the delay will eventually fail, and the time is today.

"Alas!" As the distance from Eden Village continued to shorten, Li Mengxi couldn't help but sigh with a headache.

"What's wrong?"

Naine Hinata, who was sitting in his arms, immediately turned around and asked. The two of them rode together, because the only thing Nayin could ride was the cute boy, and the fat chicken didn't know where he heard that he was going to the desert, so he played Laipi, and Nayin spoiled it, so he ......

"Nothing, just a little worried about those two guys. ”

As soon as Li Mengxi said this, Naiyin immediately understood. Immediately, she couldn't help but show a sad expression.

"Are you talking about Barrett and Igarashi?"

"yes. There is a hidden danger between those two people, and the psychological breakdown is not terrible, the terrible thing is that there is no one to support you at that time. Just like I was when I first started Level 20. ”

"Hmm. That, Dream Creek, is there any good way......"

"Boom!"

Nain's words were interrupted by a loud horse chirping. Immediately, she and Li Mengxi hurriedly followed the sound and looked, and saw Barrett's figure.

Like a gust of wind, Barrett stood out and galloped straight in a diagonal direction, quickly distancing herself from everyone. Rather, she had forgotten the fact that she still had a partner.

"Barrett!" Naine immediately let out a bewildered exclaim. She didn't understand why Barriet was suddenly speeding out of the queue.

But Li Mengxi understood in an instant. Barrett is not like them as desert people, and the sand dune vegetation that can be seen everywhere in their eyes is a clear sign that her hometown is in front of her.

When she didn't see this, she could still resist the impulse in her heart, but at this time, she couldn't suppress it anymore when she saw this, just like a balloon full of gas was pierced by a needle, and it exploded with a "bang" and released all the contents inside.

"It's Eden Village. ”

Li Mengxi first explained for Nayin in his arms, and then he immediately led everyone to chase after him, "Let's go!"

Everyone chased after Barriet and galloped wildly for a while, and after crossing a few sand dunes and sandbags, a village really appeared in the distance, and it must be Eden Village!

Barriet rushed into the village first, went straight to her house, and then jumped down without reining in her horse, and almost rushed into the house.

"Father, Mother!"

The parents who saw this surprise also called out with surprise. However, this is only a fleeting dream. All she saw was an empty scene.

Barriet was stunned, and the uneasiness in her heart rose little by little like cooking smoke.

Don't......

She immediately shook her head at the despair that was rising in her heart and drove it out of her mind.

No, everyone must have taken refuge in the reservoir! Just like last time! If you go there, you will definitely see your father and mother, and Arreas, everyone! You will meet everyone in the village. Everyone must be very scared, but it doesn't matter anymore, I'm here, and I'm back with the power to protect everyone!

Thinking so, Barrett reflexively rushed out of the house and rushed towards the village's reservoir at a speed she had never seen before. But as she ran, as she saw the empty houses with no one along the way, her hopes were dying a little bit.

Every empty house seemed to tell her a message: "This place is ruined!"

No! You can't think like that! You can't give up! Just go to the reservoir! Everyone must be there! There will be no mistake! It must be like this! Definitely!

However, this kind of thing is not something that can be developed in a good direction without giving up. Reality is reality.

"Everyone!"

Screaming, Barrett eventually rushed into the reservoir and froze as she looked like she was still empty. Immediately, she slowly turned around and looked outward with a stagnant gaze, and took a stumbling step.

Her sanity had completely determined what had happened in Eden Village, and everything was empty, which only showed the fact that the village was destroyed and everyone was gone. And so her heart was shattering.

At the same time, outside, everyone had already arrived on horseback. They stopped outside the reservoir and watched Barrett, who had come out of the reservoir in despair, and they all froze.

"Dad, Mom, Arreas, everyone...... Where's ......" Barrett fell to the ground and let out a heart-rending yell, "Where are you going, where are you going! I'm back!"

Seeing this scene, no one is not heartbroken, and Igarashi Suke is even more heartbroken. He dismounted from his horse and walked towards Barrett, who was muttering in a trance. He didn't know what to say, so he walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. He wanted to comfort her, but ......

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, everyone was stunned, and Barriet suddenly opened Igarashisuke's hand, and then raised her head, revealing a face with well-watered tears and distorted with anger.

She yelled hysterically at Igarashi Suke, "Don't touch me! It's all your fault! If you can come with me! If you can allow me to come! If you ...... earlier."

Barrett couldn't say any more, she just hid her face and cried. Looking at her like this, Igarashi froze helplessly.

What are you doing! Igarashi!

Li Mengxi couldn't help but shout anxiously in his heart when he looked at the current scene.

Even if you are scolded for being worthless and scolded like a bedbug, you should be hugged here! Barriet needs you to hug her! Please! Don't lose your inferiority complex here, don't abandon Barrett here!

However, Li Mengxi's heart did not reach.

Igarashi may have hesitated, but in the end, he slowly lowered his outstretched hand and clenched his fists.

No matter what you do, you can't make up for the current situation, and no matter what you say, you can't heal that wounded heart. When it was impossible to protect, it was already doomed at this moment. I can't do anything because of my weakness.

Ah, how powerless she is, what kind of face does she have standing in front of her?

So, Igarashi Suke turned around and left in front of Barrett, no, it was to escape.
