Two days passed in the blink of an eye; Basil, Mei Qi and Xiu Li were still halfway to Huaxia. Had it been a normal time, they would have reached Huaxia by now. Unfortunately, they had to take a roundabout and long route, rendering Deacon's speed useless. Well, it wasn't technically useless since they still didn't have to spend weeks on the way thanks to it.
"It is time to rest, Brother," Xiu Li's voice travelled from the back to the front, reaching Basil's ears.
"We will stop at that forest ahead," Basil said, neither loudly nor softly.
Xiu Li sat in the backmost part of Deacon's back. He initially wanted to sit right behind Basil; however, he realized that letting Mei Qi sit in the back alone wasn't appropriate. The person herself, coincidentally, wanted to sit behind Basil, so he gladly forfeited his seat. Sitting in the back, he took the role of the rearguard.
