Blood spattered, covering half of Lu Xi's face, and slowly dripped down her cheeks.
Clyde withdrew his heavy sword with a cold face, his expression particularly ugly. Lu Xi had rushed out too fast just now, and he had no time to retract the attack. He could only temporarily change the direction of the attack, letting the heavy sword rub Lu Xi's shoulder, and slash at Lu Xi's shoulder. ground.
Although the heavy sword did not attack Lu Xi, the sword wind driven by the elemental power still cut several deep wounds on Lu Xi, who was just an ordinary person, and blood spattered everywhere.
The surroundings fell into silence for an instant, and no one dared to make a sound in this sudden change.
"Ouch!" Xiao Yuan turned around in disbelief. The two-meter giant egg floating in the air in front of him also fell to the ground and rolled slowly.
Xiao Yuan let out a cry full of pain and panic, cautiously and nervously approached Lu Xi, and gently rubbed his head against Lu Xi's leg in a tentative manner.
"I'm fine, Xiao Yuan." Lu Xi swallowed the pain caused by the pain, shook his body, and stood firm. He raised his intact and uninjured arm and gently touched Xiao Yuan. The wolf head said, "Don't be afraid."
After saying this, Lu Xi raised his head and looked at Clyde who was holding a heavy sword.
Behind Clyde, Village Chief Luli finally arrived. His heart almost stopped when he saw Lu Xi covered in blood. Then he felt relieved when he saw Lu Xi speak.
At the same time, he looked around at the evacuated crowd. He saw his gangster emerging from the villagers and running towards Luxi. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Clyde.
"Captain Clyde, there may be some misunderstandings about this matter. It is better to wait until we understand the situation."
"Miss Lucy!" Ayi ran to Lu Xi nervously, reaching out to help her, but she didn't dare to touch him easily for fear of aggravating Lu Xi's injuries, leaving her at a loss.
"Are you okay?" The voice was trembling.
"I'm fine." Lu Xi withdrew her gaze and repeated it again. Thanks to this month's survival experience in the wild, she had long been accustomed to pain and could still maintain a normal mind at this time.
However, the dizziness, coldness, and gradual physical exhaustion caused by blood loss are unavoidable, and the symptoms are aggravated with the loss of blood.
"I need to stop the bleeding. Find me some clean cloth and water." Lu Xi said calmly, his feeble voice so clear in the silence.
"Water, there is water here, it's clean!" A villager aunt reacted after hearing this, and the surrounding villagers who did not dare to speak or move finally took action.
Village Chief Luli knew that the bonfire party could no longer continue. Seeing that although Clyde did not respond, he did not refute himself, so he evacuated the villagers first.
A few minutes later, nothing was left in the huge square except the bonfire, which was still in place and was moved away by the villagers.
Aunt Azuna and another aunt stayed behind and were treating Lu Xi's wounds.
Because the heavy sword was deflected to Lu Xi's left side, the sword wind only scratched the left half of Lu Xi's body. There was a wound on the shoulder, two wounds on the arm, and a wound on the thigh, a total of four wounds.
Among them, the wound on the shoulder was the most dangerous because it was closest to the neck. It was the blood from this wound that splashed Lu Xi's face.
Aunt Asuna washed several wounds on Lu Xi's body with clean water. After confirming that there were no pieces of clothing on the wounds, she followed Lu Xi's request and tied the wounds directly with cloth strips without applying any wound medicine. .
This kind of cruel approach was not only difficult for Aunt Azuna to accept, but also White, who had always been sympathetic to women, couldn't stand it.
Picking out the wound medicine for himself, White stretched out his hand and handed it over, "Miss Lucy, why don't you use my medicine? I bought it from an elf, and it's very effective." But the price is very expensive. .
Lu Xi rejected Aunt Azuna's idea of using herbal medicine for her. White guessed that it might be because she couldn't trust these common people's things. She wanted to ease the relationship between the boss and Miss Lucy, so she took out all the herbs she had. A treasured potion that I’m reluctant to use.
"Does this medicine of yours have any pain-relieving effect?" Lu Xi's face turned pale and he just asked without taking it.
"Uh, no." White paused. Not only was there no pain, his medicine not only made the pain worse, it also aggravated the pain. But the effect was really good. The wound healed more than ten times faster. It took more than a month to heal the wound. You'll be back to your original state in five days.
White still saw that Lu Xi had some tolerance for pain, so he dared to take it out for Lu Xi to use.
"Forget it then, thank you." Lu Xi declined politely. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. As long as she persisted for five more hours, she could wait until her physical condition refreshed.
"You're welcome..." White took back the potion with a confused look, feeling that this noble lady was really different from the noble lady in his impression.
After the wound was bandaged, Lu Xi cheered up and washed his face with the remaining water to wash away the blood, and then looked at Clyde again.
Aunt Asuna and another aunt had already left with their things, and Ayina was also driven back home by the village chief Luli.
So there were only seven people from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group left in the square, plus Village Chief Luli, Lu Xi, and one Xiao Yuan.
Oh, and there was a two-meter dome that fell next to the bonfire, and no one paid attention to it for a while.
Behind Lu Xi was a bonfire and a dome. Clyde and Lu Xi were facing each other, standing in front of Lu Xi, with Village Chief Luli between them.
Other companions who didn't know what was going on stood scattered behind Clyde. They probably didn't feel any danger, so they all looked relaxed.
White had just handed the medicine to Lu Xi, and now he was standing next to Lu Xi, looking like he belonged to Lu Xi.
Just when Aunt Azuna was treating Lu Xi's wounds, Xiao Yuan stepped back a certain distance to avoid scaring Aunt Azuna. After everyone left, she returned to Lu Xi's legs and lay down aggrievedly. on the ground.
She felt guilty and regretful that she had caused Lu Xi to be injured.
Lu Xi did not comfort it too much, but tried to cheer up and prevent himself from falling asleep due to excessive blood loss. He met Clyde's eyes and prepared to find out what happened first.
"I don't know what happened. Can someone explain it to me first?"
Lu Xi did not put herself in a weak position where she needed to apologize. From this period of time together, she had been able to confirm that her aristocratic status naturally occupies a high point.
The identity of a mercenary, or the so-called elemental warrior or elemental mage, just has the capital to not bow down to the nobles, but it does not mean that it is suppressed by the nobles.
Maybe some people can, but Clyde and the others are obviously not qualified enough, so their attitude towards Lu Xi is mostly like a stranger's disregard.
Hearing Lu Xi speak, Village Chief Luli answered first without waiting for Clyde to react. He was also afraid that these mercenary gentlemen would act impulsively and do something to Miss Lucy, a noble lady. The consequences of the accident were not something that their small village could bear.
As Village Chief Luli spoke, Lu Xi finally knew what had happened.
To put it simply, not long after the bonfire party started, the village chief Luli met several members of the mercenary group in the square. After observing, he found that the leader Clyde did not come.
Out of courtesy, Mayor Luli specially invited Captain Clyde to come over - Clyde didn't have to come, but Chief Luli had to invite him.
The accident happened at this time. As soon as he rejected the village chief Luli, Clyde suddenly felt an elemental wave approaching from the direction of Problack Forest.
He guessed that the excitement in the village might have attracted the low-level monsters in the Prohei Forest. Clyde didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then he turned around and thought that several of his companions were at the bonfire party. If the low-level monsters caused trouble, It would be bad if it affected the bonfire party and disturbed the rare relaxation activities of the companions.
Clyde and Chief Luli went out of the village to find the low-level monster, intending to deal with it outside the village.
But he didn't expect that not long after Clyde left the village, before he could find the low-level monster outside the village, the elemental aura of the low-level monster suddenly came from inside the village.
Clyde:? ? ?
After all, the people in the village were more important, so Clyde and Village Chief Luli hurried back to the village. As soon as they came back, Clyde saw a silver wolf cub stealing the egg he put in the room. .
The silver wolf cub reacted quickly. When it saw him coming back, it immediately ran towards the crowded square with the egg. Clyde was concerned about the existence of the villagers, so he didn't use any attack methods and just chased after the silver wolf. The cub runs behind.
It wasn't until the villagers were cleared away by his companions that he attacked the silver wolf cub. As a result, Lu Xi suddenly ran out and blocked the silver wolf cub, and was injured as a result.
At first, Clyde thought the two low-level monsters were companions. One was outside to lure him away, and the other was working together inside the village.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that it was impossible. The low-level monster was still far away from the village. He could sense it. There was no way that a low-level monster could sneak into the village without his senses, unless the elemental power was so weak that it was almost non-existent.
The most important thing is that although he did not see the low-level monster outside, Clyde could confirm that it was definitely not a silver wolf. It is difficult for different types of low-level monsters to have any cooperative relationship, let alone one among them. Cub.
Now that what happened was clear, Lu Xi lowered his head to look at Xiao Yuan. Now the only question left was why Xiao Yuan stole the egg.
No, Lu Xi suddenly remembered Xiao Yuan's obsession with "eggs" ever since he ate a bird egg once. It was really hard not to be moved when he saw such a big giant egg.
Therefore, why Xiao Yuan didn't stay at home obediently and what attracted Xiao Yuan out are the key points.
"Xiao Yuan is a cub I picked up in the wild and brought into the village." Lu Xi's voice was a little hoarse.
"I was worried that the villagers might not be able to accept it, so I kept it hidden in the room where I live." After explaining, Lu Xi spoke again, "Xiao Yuan will not come out of the room for no reason. He may also be aware of it. The low-level monster that was approaching wanted to remind me."
Then halfway through, I saw the dome and couldn't walk.
Clyde frowned. He didn't know much about silver wolves, because monsters like silver wolves are relatively close to humans. They rarely attack humans when they meet them in the wild, so humans don't hunt silver wolves very much. .
Occasionally, some people offer bounties to mercenaries, and they always ask for the silver wolf to be captured alive so that they can be taken back as pets.
Clyde generally had little impression of monsters that he had never killed with his own hands. At this time, he was not sure whether the silver wolf cub really sensed the approach of the low-level monster.
Of course, Clyde also knew that since the silver wolf cub belonged to Miss Lucy, he could not do anything to it anymore. If he took the egg back, the matter would be over. —Oh, yes, there is also the matter of hurting a noble lady.
In other words, not only could he not pursue the noble lady's pet for stealing his things, but he also had to apologize for hurting the noble lady.
"Shit." Clyde cursed silently. The nobles are all a bunch of shit.
"Woo..." Xiao Yuan suddenly tugged at the corner of Lu Xi's clothes, imitating the voice of some kind of monster, "Hooooo!"
Lu Xi's expression suddenly changed. The voice reminded her of the lion that had been chasing her for a long time. She had not seen the lion again in the Prohei Forest for nearly half a month, thinking that it had left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the Problack Forest, the lion followed them again.
"Miss Lucy?" Village Chief Lu Li asked worriedly. The change on Lu Xi's face was so obvious that anyone could tell that she must have thought of something.
"I may know what that low-level monster is." Lu Xi did not hide it. "It was a low-level monster I met on the grassland. Xiao Yuan discovered it and we escaped for the first time. But later it The chase came again, and Xiao Yuan and I hid in the Prohei Forest until we came to Kuwa Village."
"I thought it had left a long time ago." Lu Xi pressed his dizzy forehead and gritted his teeth, "Xiao Yuan remembers its smell, so he noticed its approach early and wanted to remind me."
"What kind of monster is it?" Clyde asked.
"I don't know it. It's about five meters tall. Its hair is brown. There is an extremely thick mane around its neck. It was too far away and I didn't see the rest." If I could get close enough to see that one clearly Even Lu Xi might not be able to escape from a low-level monster.
Clyde didn't ask any further, such as why the low-level monster was chasing Lu Xi - everyone would have some secrets, just like the giant egg they were carrying.
Clyde glanced at the expressions of Lu Xi and Village Chief Luli. None of them cared about the dome, and no one could see any curiosity about the dome.
It doesn't matter if it's true or false, just let this matter go as it is.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lucy, for causing you injury. As an apology, I will help you get rid of that low-level monster that has been chasing you." Clyde gave a salute that was familiar to Lu Xi.
After a brief recollection, she just saw Village Chief Luli perform this ceremony yesterday. It should be a knight's ceremony. It seems that Mr. Clyde's experience is also very complicated.
"Okay." Lu Xi thought for a moment and agreed. At least it would be better to deal with this threat now than to suddenly appear later.
"Then, we will take back the things that were taken away by your magic pet." Clyde brought up his most important purpose and a key topic. Due to the noble sentiments, he did not directly mention stealing.
"But..." Lu Xi was about to nod when a click suddenly came from behind, interrupting her words.
Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to the giant egg that made the sound. Even Lu Xi turned around and looked back.
"Crack" an eggshell suddenly fell to the ground.
