Chapter 117: The Princess of Eden (14)

On the Sphinx teleportation platform on the twelfth floor of the "Pyramid" City, the main city of the Mirage Desert, eleven figures appeared together as the blue teleportation light faded. They accepted Barrett's commission and prepared to go to Eden Village for Li Mengxi and his party.

At this moment, the square is crowded with people, all coming and going. It stands to reason that at this time, this climate should not be like this.

At first sight, Emily couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!

"Sure enough, I guess it was influenced by that rumor. Hephaestus answered immediately.

Hearing this, Li Mengxi nodded while staring at the spectacular scene of crowds in front of him.

"For themselves, for others, for the living, for the dead, for money, everyone is here for the resurrection props. ”

"However, isn't it just to prevent this from happening that the battle guilds with heads and faces will form an alliance, isn't it?" asked Hinata puzzled.

"As the saying goes, the desire for profit, whether it is good or bad, is not so easy to suppress. Xun Hui spread her hands and said helplessly, "And just like those people over there said, what does it matter if it's just to see?"

"Look, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's not just about looking. Hephaestus laughed.

Hearing this, Hinata Nain couldn't help but feel sad.

"What the hell are you all thinking? Obviously, there was a 'Seven Killing Stones' incident before. ”

"Maybe it's because of the incident caused by the Seven Killing Stones that the current situation has arisen. Xun Hui sighed.

"Huh?" Hinata couldn't help but let out a puzzled sound. In her opinion, the incident of the Seven Killing Stones should serve as a good warning as a lesson from the past, not the other way around.

However, Li Mengxi was able to understand what Xun Hui meant, and he opened his mouth to explain: "Naiyin, don't forget, we have been trapped in this game world for three years, and the sense of uneasiness that is detached from reality is accumulating all the time. The 'Killings in the City' beautifully transferred this uneasiness to a fear for life. The zombie siege at the cemetery also reminded many people of the sadness of losing relatives and friends, and those who did not fear losing it one day. It's like a kind of group mental disease, and the resurrection item is the most immediate cure. ”

"It's just a medicine that can only heal one person. Leon sneered, "It's like throwing a piece of delicious meat bait into a pack of hungry dogs." Li Mengxi, you shouldn't be one of these idiots, right?"

Hearing this prickly remark, Li Mengxi turned his head and nodded with a smile.

"Well, I can't tell you the details, but I definitely didn't insist on participating in the strategy for the sake of resurrection items. ”

"The ......," Barriet couldn't help but say, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I warn you, the Third Apostle is not a lamb to the slaughter. ”

"That's right. Xun Hui smiled, "That's all for this topic, now let's concentrate on the test task." What do you say, brigadier?"

"Ahh Li Mengxi also nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go." ”

Leaving the teleportation platform, in order to save time, everyone did not take the big staircase connecting the twelfth floor to see the scenery of Hanhai, but chose the magic elevator that rises vertically. All the supplies they needed had been purchased in the early morning at Hatsuba City, so they descended straight to the first floor and went to the Pyramid's Post House to rent a mount.

The inns are usually located near a gate in the city, and the main business building is accompanied by a large breeding shed. It's no different here. The Pyramid City's post house is located near the south gate.

After completing the registration in the hall of the hall, Li Mengxi and his entourage were led by the receptionist to the breeding shed located behind the main building. There are plenty of mounts waiting for the Leaser to pick from, but there are only three in total.

The first is the horse, the basic configuration of the post house, there are cheap secondary horses, and there are also top good horses. But in the desert environment, no matter how good a horse is, it is difficult to adapt to geography and climate, and the action will become three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and the speed will slide straight from the level of a car to the speed of a turtle.

Therefore, horses belong to the things that no one has cared about here for thousands of years.

Passing by the stable, everyone just wanted to appreciate it.

Passing through the stables, there is the stables, where all the second mounts of the inn are kept, camels. They are the most frequently used cost-effective mounts in the desert, and although they are not very fast, they have high durability and do not need to be fed water every day, and are known as the ships of the desert.

If it's for a long trip, most people choose to rent a camel. But this is still not Li Mengxi's best choice.

If you had ridden a camel to Eden, it would have taken a month, and the villagers would have died of thirst.

"Don't you have that kind of mount!" said Barrett, walking through the two stables, "it's the two-legged, very scary kind." ”

Seeing her talking and gesturing, the receptionist who led the way became even more confused, and her expression was quite good-looking.

"Sand shark. Igarashi Suke, who couldn't stand it, casually reminded.

"That's right!

"Oh!" the receptionist suddenly realized, "Sha Xingyu's words are ahead. ”

After the words were closed, he led the group out of the camel stable area, and entered the shark stable area through a long corridor. The sound of "purring, purring" also rang in my ears one after another.

Raised here is the last of all the station's mounts, a creature called the "Sand Shark".

They look like large velociraptors overall, and on top of that, as the name suggests, they have some shark features. The head is very similar to that of a hammerhead shark, and the tail is also a shark's tail, with sail-like fins on the top of the head, on the back, on the outside of the two forelimbs, and on the outside of the two stout hind limbs.

Coupled with a mouth full of fangs and sharp claws, it is easy to mistake them for ferocious carnivores, but strangely, they are pure vegetarians and surprisingly docile.

Therefore, the wild sand shark became extinct in this desert, and only the descendants of these generations of captivity-bred in the post house remained.

If you want to ask, since it is not used to hunt prey, why does the sand shark have fangs, claws and hard fins, which can be used as weapons?

The answer is to dig smoothly in the sand.

They are also the only creatures in the Mirage Desert that can dive in the sand, except for the sand worms. Once diving under the sand for a swim, the speed of the sand shark can be on par with that of a BMW on thick ground, and it can easily reach the level of a real-life motor vehicle.

Therefore, the sand shark is the first choice for speed in desert travel, but they eat an astonishing amount of food every day, and the amount of water they drink has to be described as "tons". In addition, the rental fee is also high.

These factors make them, like horses, almost unpopular mounts. However, it was exactly what Li Mengxi and his party needed at this time.

And just when everyone began to choose the sand shark with the color and shape that matched their aesthetics, Hinata Naon stayed where she was and asked the receptionist, "Excuse me, is there a carriage for the sand shark?"

This happened to be heard by Emily, who had not gone far, so before the receptionist could speak, she made a sarcastic voice.

"If you want to rent a carriage, don't you know how to ride a mount!

Hearing this shout, everyone's eyes naturally turned back. Hinata Nain's embarrassment at this time can be imagined.

Although her heart was very hot, she couldn't refute it. Because, what Emily said is not wrong at all, the only thing that Hinata Nayin can really ride on is the cute boy who is in a walking state.

"If you want to ride with me, why rent a carriage. Li Mengxi, who didn't leave at all, whispered.

"That's not the case!" Hinata immediately retorted, her voice a little louder in anger, "Didn't Barriet say yesterday that her village was facing a water shortage. I'm trying to rent a carriage to carry some water over!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was somewhat stunned. In retrospect, Barrett did say it yesterday, but everyone's eyes were on the ice crystal chalcedony and they didn't take it to heart at all.

Compared with Naine Hinata, everyone is a little ashamed of themselves. Barrett, on the other hand, was quite moved, rushed to Hinata in three or two steps, took her hand and said eagerly: "Thank you, thank you very much! You are such a good person, very, very good person!"

"No, it's nothing, it's just a gesture. Slightly frightened by Barrett's enthusiasm, Naine Hinata immediately turned her head to look at the receptionist, "How is it?"

"Yes, there is, but the carriage of the sand shark is only a large six-rider type, and the rent is in the thousands. ”

"It's okay, just rent it to me. ”

Emily, who was originally meant to satirize Naine Hinata, was secretly unhappy when she saw everyone's approving glances at her, and she couldn't help but pout. At the same time, a chill came down my spine.

After a shudder, she immediately turned around and saw Xun Hui who came behind her with a sinister smile on her face.

"What are you doing?" asked Emily with a deep sense of foreboding.

"It's nothing, I just want to teach you something. Xun Hui's smiling face became even more gloomy.

"What, what. ”

"It's simple, bad boys are punished!" Xun Hui said as she stretched out her hands to Emily's head with lightning speed.

"It hurts!" With a scream, everyone's eyes turned to Emily and Xun Hui again.

I saw that Xun Hui was drilling Emily's temples with the joints of both hands. At this point, Emily felt as if she had put on a shackle spell.

"It hurts, it hurts! Stop! Please, stop! I'm wrong! I'm wrong, can't I!"

"Alas!" everyone sighed at the same time, either on the lips or in their hearts.

What do you mean by that?

and thou shalt not live.
