The next day, Mu Yang left Aaru Village.
Just like how he had time to stay overnight in Aaru Village yesterday, he was not in a hurry.
Passing through the Sinkhole and following the route taken by the caravan, he slowly walked forward.
This road was not the first time Mu Yang had walked it.
Not counting his previous travels in the game, even after coming to Teyvat, he had walked alone in the desert many times.
It had to be said that this was one of the good things about a magical world.
As long as one's strength was strong enough, there was no such thing as extreme environments.
However, this was also the result of Mu Yang's own efforts to earn popularity points.
Back when he had just transmigrated, he still had to rely on bragging to show off.
Thinking about it now, things like "[The Captain] is the only one who can spar with me..."
[The Captain]?
[The Captain] is just the threshold for sparring with me!
Speaking of [The Captain], Mu Yang remembered there was such a guy. According to Mika's previous words.
[The Captain] was wandering near the Girdle of the Sands with a team of people. Reports said their next stop was Natlan.
Because their destination did not conflict with the Grand Master's, there was no need for the two sides to fight.
Mu Yang did not know what [The Captain] was planning.
After all, when he transmigrated, the Natlan plot was still very tightly locked.
There was not even a single map of the nation.
However, the Fatui's goals should be the same.
Although each had their own ways of doing things in secret.
On the surface, they should all be working for the Gnoses.
For example, the Knave. She genuinely wanted to save the children of Hotel Bouffes d'ete.
As for the Hydro Gnosis, Mu Yang did not know what price she planned to pay to obtain it.
In Fontaine's plot, Mu Yang vaguely felt that the position of the Fatui was also undergoing a shift.
The Knave sincerely helped the people of Fontaine in exchange for her own benefits.
So what kind of development would [The Captain] have?
What exactly was the background of this strongest fighting force among the Harbingers?
Mu Yang began to look forward to it a little.
The last confrontation with Narzissenkreuz had not satisfied him at all.
Moreover, because he still had to put on a "performance," it was impossible to pull Skirk along as a training partner.
"This time, Captain, you won't be able to run away... It would be best if you use a sword. That way it will be more interesting to fight."
While Mu Yang was thinking about these things, he did not realize at all that he had already arrived at the Tanit tribe camp.
However, this was not Mu Yang's fault.
After all, not long ago this was still a tribe with a Matriarch.
After Lumine came here to play with Jeht, only the big crocodile was left baring its teeth...
The entire tribe was left with only one person — Jeht.
Oh, and her little robot, the Scarlet King's technology — Benben.
It was similar to the triangular one from before.
"Uh... it can't be such a coincidence, right? Speak of the devil?"
The little robot was also startled when it saw Mu Yang.
However, it got scared and hid.
Mu Yang moved quickly and caught the robot squarely.
He had a bad premonition. Perhaps something had happened to Jeht.
Although the two had never met on the Teyvat continent.
But when Mu Yang was playing the game, he still had quite a deep impression of this character.
Even until the end, she remained strong and did not give up on herself or let herself go after learning the truth about her parents and the Matriarch's tribe.
She still firmly believed in tomorrow and believed that she would become someone like her father.
However, that was only a Genshin Impact branch storyline.
After she parted ways with Lumine, her life probably had not been easy.
The desert was dangerous, and the Eremites lived in groups.
Jeht not only had only a little robot, but she also had many enemies.
Even the remnants of the very tribe she was currently in were still around.
There was that old eagle trainer. That old guy had even disgusted Mu Yang while playing the game through one quest.
He killed his own successor and then slipped away just like that.
Mu Yang had been so angry at the time!
However, the urgent task now was still to find Jeht.
The little robot Benben looked as if it would rather die than submit.
Mu Yang then lit up images of Lumine and Paimon in the air with frost.
"You should recognize these two, right?"
Benben recognized them, but it was still somewhat wary.
Mu Yang saw that it refused the toast only to drink the penalty.
Soft approach did not work, huh? Then he could only use the hard way.
Under Mu Yang's threats and promises, Benben compromised. It felt that even if it died, it should die by Jeht's side.
Thus, it led Mu Yang to a cave, where they found Jeht on the verge of death.
Mu Yang rescued Jeht.
Although his medical skills were not as superb as Changsheng's, handling this kind of basic external injury and neutralizing a small poison was more than enough.
Jeht regained consciousness.
Her skills were not low, but unfortunately her opponent was an old fox.
Jeht had hunted for a long time before finding his traces.
She had also lain in wait for nearly half a month before finding an opportunity to strike.
Unfortunately, in that instant the knife slashed across, she was still ambushed by that old guy.
She did not know what kind of poison she had been hit with.
That old guy had hidden himself after provoking her and Lumine before.
Even in the desert, this place could be considered a desert within the desert.
Poisoned and alone, Jeht could not find anyone to ask for help.
Benben was very anxious, but it did not have any detoxifying function.
Jeht was in a daze, as if she had seen her father.
She followed the guidance step by step forward. Was she also going to that place?
Going to the golden dreamland where her parents were...
But she was a little reluctant to part with Benben, and with Lumine and Paimon...
They had clearly agreed to meet again in the future. Was she going to break her promise?
Jeht did not think any further, because she lost consciousness...
When she woke up again, there was a bonfire and a cooking pot beside her.
Jeht's first reaction was that it smelled so good.
"Looks like the toxin has been cleared. Come and drink something."
Jeht was extremely vigilant. She reached her hand toward Mu Yang's blind spot and began to draw a knife...
Of course this could not escape Mu Yang's eyes. This little girl...
"I can save you, and naturally I can also kill you. Don't fail to appreciate kindness."
Mu Yang's tone was indifferent. "For the sake of our mutual friend Lumine, don't make any unnecessary moves."
Hearing that name, Jeht lowered her guard.
Mainly because what Mu Yang said was completely correct.
She could feel that the person in front of her was more terrifying than all the prey she had encountered before.
Sandworms, vultures, and the like could not be compared at all.
If she had to say, only the dragons in the stories...
Mu Yang ladled a bowl of medicinal soup for Jeht.
He asked her what had happened.
Jeht then described her experience.
Mu Yang's face was cold. Jeht thought her storytelling level was too low.
Only when he heard the name of that old guy did Mu Yang seem to show some emotion.
"What a pity..."
"Pity? Don't tell me… he is your friend?"
"No. Lumine mentioned this person to me. I still wanted to deal with him personally."
This was an excuse. Mu Yang wanted to vent for his game-playing self.
A guy who toyed with other people's lives like that deserved death.
This was a small interlude. Mu Yang sent Jeht to Aaru Village, gave simple instructions, and set off on the road again.
This time, he did not encounter any more acquaintances.
"Finally arrived, Natlan..."
