With the help of Aunt Asuna and Dina, Lu Xi sorted out his things without spending much time.

Aunt Azuna cleaned the quilts and rabbit blankets and then re-sewed them herself. Due to lack of time, Aunt Azuna only scrubbed them clean and did not re-weave the straw mats.

Those wooden bowls and the like were all thrown away, and he went to the village carpenter Uncle Amai to get many new ones - obviously, Lu Xi would still have to spend some time in the wild, and these things were necessary. To bring.

Of course, Lu Xi could also pretend to be a noble lady and ask people from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group to do these things for her and enjoy the privileges of being a noble.

But no matter how much she thought about it, Lu Xi felt that it was too suicidal. She had managed to survive until now, so it was better to be cautious.

In addition, Aunt Asuna also prepared some clean new clothes for Lu Xi, which were sent by the village chief Luli.

Lu Xi thought for a while, and finally left another pearl for Village Chief Luli. She had a full bunch there.

In comparison, the value of pearls is much lower than that of gemstones, because pearls are not as durable as gemstones. They tend to yellow and fade over time, and their value is much less.

But for the village chief of Luli, such a pearl is already precious enough. The dragon hunting mercenary group has been here for so many days, but the fee they paid is not as much as a pearl.

This does not mean that the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group is stingy. It can only be said that Lu Xi, a noble lady, can pick up anything from her body and it will not be cheap.

"There is still some time, Miss Lucy, do you want to take a rest?" Dina looked at the young dragon who huddled up and followed Xiao Yuan in from the door, and said to Lu Xi.

Leaving Xiao Yuan and Xiao Long outside the yard, Lu Xi was afraid of scaring other people, so he brought them in after greeting Aunt Azuna.

Xiao Yuan is not big, only about the size of a medium-sized dog. It is easy to get in and out anywhere. But the baby dragon is more than two meters tall. It is easy to enter the yard, but it is a bit difficult to enter the house. The door frame is not even two meters high in total. .

But the young dragon shrunk his body and squeezed in through the door, not wanting to leave Lu Xi at all.

Lu Xi thought for a while, although he could persevere without taking a rest, but anyway, it would be good to take a break, so he nodded and agreed. He slept for exactly two or three hours, activated the "sleep" function, and replenished 100 energy first. value and physical strength.

Dina was watching over Lu Xi, and she also sat on a chair and took a nap. She and Miguel had not rested since they came out of the Prohei Forest.

But there is no need to worry. Mercenaries like them have long since learned the ability to sleep lightly, take a quick rest to restore their physical strength, and lay elements of their own attributes around them. Once there are any changes, they can wake up instantly and react.

Nothing unexpected happened. Lu Xi woke up at just seven o'clock and slept for two hours.

Aunt Azuna also prepared breakfast, which was limited to three portions for Lu Xi, Xiao Yuan and Dina. The breakfast for the young dragon was the egg shells left in the square. Village Chief Luli also had people pack them up and deliver them over. .

The eggshell of the dragon egg contains rich elemental magic power. It is impossible to break the dragon egg shell with less than the power of an intermediate elemental spell attack. It is not as fragile as the eggs of ordinary monsters.

Otherwise, how could the young dragon break out of the window by relying on the dragon egg?

Although the eggshell was quite large, surprisingly, the young dragon did not take much time to eat it. After chewing the eggshell with a few clicks, Lu Xi and the others had not finished half of their breakfast.

The young dragon was curious and went up to smell it, but soon lost interest and withdrew his head. Even Xiao Yuan actually didn't seem to be interested in this breakfast.

Lu Xi was thoughtful, but didn't say anything in front of Dina.

After breakfast, it was time to get up and go on the road. Lu Xi and everyone from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group gathered at the entrance of the village.

Most of the villagers didn't know that Lu Xi was leaving, and they didn't care about Lu Xi's departure. Only Ayina heard the news and ran over with the mushrooms Lu Xi picked yesterday.

Lu Xi was a little surprised. She had stayed here specially yesterday to bake something for Xiao Yuan, but after so many accidents, she had forgotten about it. She didn't expect Ayina would remember it and give it back to her. Sent over.

"Thank you." Lu Xi thanked her sincerely.

"No, Miss Lucy, you taught us this new food that we can eat. We should thank you. Mushrooms are really delicious. With this new food, we can go there next time." Mushrooms are sold in Weiguli Town. None of them have ever eaten mushrooms. They should be very popular. Ah, Miss Lucy, we should be able to sell mushrooms in Weiguli Town, right?" Ayina had a lot to say as always. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Lu Xi.

"Of course." Lu Xi nodded and confirmed. Just like the weaving method of straw mats, the mushrooms she discovered were her property.

When people in Kuva Village want to make money by selling mushrooms, the first thing they infringe upon is Lu Xi's interests. Even if Lu Xi doesn't intend to do anything with the mushrooms, it won't work.

This is the privilege of nobles in this different world, or it is the same in every world, but the difference is in form.

But Lu Xi didn't quite understand. She would leave here soon. Even without her permission, no one would know about the villagers in Kuwa Village selling mushrooms.

Why bother asking her? Are all people in other worlds so... upright?

Without an answer, Lu Xi followed the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group and left Kuva Village.

Compared with the previous month of survival in the wilderness, Lu Xi was quite relaxed now. The heavy luggage was carried on the back of the mercenary named Kagli. She only carried a small cloth bag close to her body, which weighed almost nothing.

This is not entirely because of Lu Xi’s identity as a noble lady, but more importantly because Lu Xi is just an ordinary person. It will not be easy for her to keep up with these mercenaries. If Lu Xi is allowed to carry her luggage by herself, the efficiency will be very low. It will be pulled down by more than half.

Fortunately, Lu Xi was the employer after all, and the entire dragon-hunting mercenary group was following Lu Xi's speed. Even if Lu Xi was slower, no one would raise any objections.

Not far out of Kuva Village, the path taken by humans is gone and we have to make our own way.

The dragon-hunting mercenary group naturally has a ready-made formation. Hailin, a mid-level wind elemental warrior, is scouting the route in front of the group. Her body is agile and dexterous, and her speed is fast enough. She can retreat in time when encountering danger. The quickest way back to notify others is best suited to do this.

Clyde leads the way at the front of the team. He has the thickest armor and the strongest defense, and can resist any danger immediately. White follows Clyde. He has the ability to attack from a distance and can assist Clyde. Carry out an attack while taking care of the safety of the rear.

In the center of the team, there were originally Dina and Xiulan. They were two squishy low-level elemental mages with a relatively close attack range. They were not able to attack from a distance like White, so they needed to protect their own safety first.

After Lu Xi joined in, he was located between Xiulan and Dina, with Xiao Yuan and Xiao Long following them on the left and right, which greatly increased the safety factor.

Next up was Kagli, who was responsible for protecting the two elemental mages at close range. Perhaps because there was no danger in this close range, Kagli took on Lu Xi's luggage and carried it on his back.

Finally, there is Miguel who is cut off from the rear. His combat ability is strong enough and he has the element of wind. After being cut off from the rear, he can escape the fastest and catch up with the main force.

Because they had to accommodate Lu Xi's speed, the entire team seemed very relaxed, chatting with each other from time to time, and not feeling tense.

"Have you... arranged it this way all along?" Lu Xi couldn't help but look back at Kagli several times.

There was no other reason. The way Kagli carried his luggage reminded Lu Xi of Sha Monk in Journey to the West.

Kagli doesn't seem to be a weak person, and he doesn't know why he was chosen to carry the luggage... No, the others don't seem to be carrying luggage.

Lu Xi suddenly noticed this. Is it possible that mercenaries don't need to bring anything with them when they go out?

"Hahahaha." Dina laughed happily, "Of course not, it was Cagli who was unlucky and won the lottery."

Lu Xi looked at Dina incomprehensively, but it was Xiulan next to him who spoke. Xiulan snorted, "Who asked him to use all the money to buy wine? As long as he saves a little to buy a contract package, it's okay. You don’t have to carry it here by yourself.”

Contract package? It was another unfamiliar term. Lu Xi's expression did not change and he continued to listen to the conversation.

Cagli was not far away. After all, he had to protect Xiulan and Dina closely. Hearing this, he just curled his lips in disdain and said, "Young Master really thinks that anyone can afford the contract package."

Xiulan blushed and turned away from Kagli.

Lu Xi instantly sensed the appropriate line of conversation and looked at Dina with a little curiosity on his face, "Is the contract package expensive?"

Very good, it’s a line that fits the identity.

Dina didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Xi's question and nodded, "Yeah, it's so expensive. Miguel and I can only afford one, and it's the smallest size."

"How young?" Lu Xi's expression remained unchanged, still showing a little bit of curiosity.

"It can only hold one grid of things." Dina took out a small bag the size of a coin purse. It looked like it was made of the leather of some kind of creature, and there was a mysterious-looking pattern on it.

One grid is roughly one cubic meter of space on Earth.

How can a small bag no bigger than the palm of your hand be able to hold such a big thing? !

Lu Xi controlled the changes in his expression. It was just like a system backpack, so it was not worth making a fuss about.

"Miss Lucy, where is your contract package? The largest contract package we have here is Xiulan's, which is as big as 35 square meters." Dina asked curiously.

Lu Xi suddenly thought of the small handbag that originally contained the letter, but unfortunately, she had checked the bag many times before and found nothing different.

It's just a simple luxury item.

Before Lu Xi could answer, Kagli had already said impatiently, "Of course I lost it, or else is she playing tricks on me here?"

It can be seen that Cagli doesn't have a good attitude not only towards Xiulan, but also towards Dina. It's not specifically about anyone, but everyone is the same to him.

Lu Xi glanced at Cagli's luggage and said nothing. Dina reacted immediately. Probably for fear of embarrassing the topic, she did not ask Lu Xi any more, but changed the topic and continued the conversation.

After turning around, she couldn't help but turn back to Xiao Yuan and the others. Dina couldn't hide the envy in her eyes and opened her mouth to explain to Lu Xi.

"Actually, we also have a magic pet in our team, but because we are going to the territory of the ice dragon, the dragon's breath will scare the magic pet and affect the magic pet's combat ability, and the magic pet can easily leave a smell and be tracked, so this time we I didn’t bring anyone with me, so I had to go on my own.”

Lu Xi was very interested in this topic, "What do you have?" It didn't sound like there was only one demon pet.

"Actually, most mercenary groups will keep a few magic pets to make it easier to travel, especially elemental mages like us who are not very physically strong." Dina touched her head, and then talked about the magic pets they raised.

"Miguel and I raised a feathered horse king with the element of wind, Xiulan raised a black gold elk, and White raised a rainbow-feathered crane, but no one else raised one."

Lu Xi looked at the team and found that indeed, those who raised magic pets were all elemental mages.

Yu Ma Lu Xi has learned about it. It is a very common monster. It is relatively close to relatives, has fast running speed and strong endurance. It is domesticated and raised by humans to pull carts. Most of them are ordinary monsters, but there are also some individuals with extraordinary talents. , will suddenly master elemental magic and become a low-level monster.

Because Yuma is a gregarious monster, and there are often dozens or hundreds of them living together. Once an individual who has mastered elemental magic appears, he will quickly become the king of the group. Therefore, for Yuma who has mastered elemental magic, It will be called the "Feathered Horse King", which is a relatively common and practical type of low-level monster.

Dina and Miguel's backgrounds were obviously not very good, so they could only afford to raise such common low-level monsters.

Lu Xi didn't know about the black gold elk, but Dina kept talking about how beautiful it was, which made Xiulan blush, so Lu Xi knew about it.

The black gold elk is actually a mutated low-level monster that has mutated in appearance from the original platinum elk. The original platinum elk had pure white hair and long golden antlers. It was quite beautiful and highly ornamental.

The black golden elk's hair changed from pure white to pure black, just like an albino animal on Earth, but in reverse.

The black gold elk is not as fast as the feathered horse, and its endurance is not as good, but because of the long golden horns on its head, it has good attack power and can actively protect its owner, so it is not bad. The most important thing is that it is attractive enough.

As for the rainbow-feathered crane raised by White, Dina showed an expression that was hard to explain.

"He was raised just to deceive girls." Dina pointed at White.

Feathered horses and black gold elk can be used as transportation tools, while rainbow-feathered cranes only have one advantage: they look good. When their rainbow-colored feathers fly in the sky, they can reflect a beautiful rainbow.

And then nothing happened... The rainbow-feathered crane was only half a human tall and could not carry people flying. Its claws were not sharp, its wings were not strong enough, and it could not even fight.

The reason why rainbow-feathered cranes are not extinct is that most birds like their appearance and will actively provide them with food and protect their safety when encountering danger.
