The morning of the next day.

In this vast and desolate Gobi desert, Annie, who was wandering leisurely, was meeting La La, who was sweating profusely and looked even more sloppy and messy than when they met yesterday.

Ji was looking around for something.

The goal of the two of them was, of course, to find a delicious animal that looked like a lizard, crocodile or reptile that was eaten by Lackey and was said to be extremely delicious.

According to Lackey, that animal's meat is so delicious that even the simplest cooking can make people salivate?

He had eaten it once before, and it was still fresh in his memory. If he hadn't been in a hurry when he went out to look for Annie, and if the dried meat had been left in the hotel instead of remembering to take it away, he might have taken it out to Annie now.

Go and taste it, and let Anne know that what he says is true.

However, it is a pity that although they have been searching for a long time, they still have not found any clues until now.

Although Lackey doesn't mind continuing to search, it doesn't matter if it takes ten days, eight days or even half a month. Anyway, he will find it sooner or later. There is no doubt about that ship!

After all, it's not a rare or endangered animal.

But the key point is: today is already the morning of the second day, and there are only the last two days and one night left before the three-day period mentioned by Claire, and it may even be shorter? If he doesn’t leave soon, he will

There is no guarantee that we will reach the peak of Xi Lei Mountain before a certain time tomorrow!

So, as he searched, Lackey felt more and more anxious and impatient.

"..."

Wiping a handful of sweat, completely ignoring the sticky hair and burning skin, Lackey began to look around, and then found that there was nothing but desert here, and that day, Claire nailed it with a sword.

He didn't even see a shadow of the reptile on the ground!

"Annie?"

"How about we go help Claire and the others first, and then..."

"Will we come back and help you find it together then?"

So, he thought about it with anxiety in his heart, and then loudly suggested to Anne on the other side.

He planned to ask Anne to help Claire deal with another more urgent matter as promised before, and then go back and continue looking for that animal after the matter was dealt with.

"Claire and Elena can also help when the time comes."

"If there are more people, maybe we can find him faster, what do you think?"

After all, rescuing people is more important and has a time limit, and looking for that delicious animal can be left alone for now. Anyway, you can always find and eat it if you look slowly for it.

, there is no point in wasting time here at this time.

"don't want!"

()

However, Anne resolutely rejected Lackey's seemingly reasonable and reasonable proposal.

"We have agreed before that we will pay cash on delivery, no matter how easy it is!"

()

Then, regardless of whether the other party understood her words, Annie just continued to wander around and search aimlessly while talking.

"If you can't find that kind of animal, or if it's not as delicious as you say, then people still won't help you."

o(^｀)o

"There's no point complaining, you'd better find it quickly!"

(ψ｀▽′)o

You know, although it is just a verbal agreement, in Anne's view, it is also bound by the power of a contract. If she says to help, she will definitely help, and if she says the preconditions, she must complete them first.

That's fine, otherwise the contract can't continue. That's a matter of principle.

Furthermore, if she cannot eat that delicious animal, or the animal is not as delicious as the other person said, then isn't she just being taken advantage of?

Besides, as long as the rare animals that the other party mentioned are really delicious, it doesn't matter even if you are late. Anyway, Queen Anne has many ways. She will definitely save people if she says she wants to, even if she dies.

After being rescued, we won't be like some bad guys who are capricious, renege on their word, and never take contracts and promises seriously. They do a lot of things that destroy their credibility and go back on their promises and still feel complacent?

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"..."

Lackey opened his mouth. Although he was feeling helpless and anxious, he couldn't say anything in opposition.

After all, he also knew that Annie was right, first find that delicious lizard-like animal, and then he, a self-proclaimed chef with good cooking skills, would cook it for the other party. If it was really delicious, then the other party would have to help Ke

It’s Leya’s job to help the other sword suppress the demonic power. That’s what they had agreed upon long ago.

"Annie, I know that's the case, but..."

"Time is running out now. Half of the three days have passed. Can't we help Claire first?"

"When you get back, we can help you catch one, or even two or three of those very delicious animals. Isn't that okay?"

But after all was said and done, Lackey, who didn't know Anne's ability and confidence, still wanted to try to persuade Anne to make an exception and solve the urgent ones first, and then solve the less urgent ones?

"no!"

()

However, Anne still stubbornly and firmly shook her head.

"If you don't eat the meat of such delicious animals, you won't go anywhere!"

()

"If you want to go, you better go alone first!"

(ω)

"If someone catches it later, if it is really delicious, then they will help you!"

()hey-hey!

Seeing that the other party looked restless and not in the mood to search at all, Anne didn't feel too embarrassed and just suggested this carelessly.

"..."

Although he said that, Lackey obviously would not do that.

After all, he had made an agreement with Claire, saying that he would definitely help her find Anne, a powerful and mysterious little girl. Now that he has found her, if he cannot bring her to Xilei Mountain, he alone

What’s the point of people leaving?

"But……"

"There is only one day left, if it's too late..."

After sighing, Lackey's face was still full of anxiety.

If you have plenty of time, just search here slowly. If you can't find it in one day, you can search for two days. If you can't find it in two days, you can search for three days. As long as there are still people in this area, they will be found sooner or later. Then

He never doubted anything.

But now, when he thought about the three-day deadline, he was worried, and he wished he could drag some bad and stubborn little girl and head to Xilei Mountain non-stop!

"Then stop talking nonsense!"

(*｀ー)

"Go find it quickly!"

(`^)

Anne clearly found it unreasonable to find him in a daze and grumble even though he knew the time was tight, so she once again angrily scolded and urged him.

(…)

(**)

"..."

Lackey was speechless, so he could only pick up the sheepskin water bag, take a sip of water, wipe his sweat, and then continue to search aimlessly in this hot and desolate desert.

finally……

At this moment, Anne's attention was suddenly attracted by the rustling sounds in the distance.

"Eh?"

Σ(°△°|||)︴

Then, when she followed the sound and looked around, she saw at a glance a lizard or a terrain dragon the size of an alligator, crawling quickly in a certain direction on the sand dunes.

Moreover, its speed of crawling on the sand dunes is very exaggerated. It seems that it is two or three times faster than fish in the water, horses on land, and even some birds in the sky?

"look!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

"Isn't that just the delicious animal you mentioned?"
