The rest camp for the night was chosen next to a small stream.
Most of the monsters that stayed here to rest were driven away by the elemental power aura erupting from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group.
Said to be an explosion of elemental power, in Lu Xi's opinion, it was actually Clyde's whole body shaking suddenly, and then as if a wind blew in his face, and then the group of monsters ran away.
Just, it actually looks pretty funny.
Of course, in the eyes of Clyde and the others, it was a different situation.
Elements can be divided into three forms. The first is the form that makes up all things in daily life and is invisible to the human eye, just like air.
The second form is to individually extract and gather elements of a certain attribute. In this state, the corresponding element will reveal the color of the corresponding attribute in form, a bit like colored transparent smoke.
The third form is when a large number of elements with the same attributes come together to produce a qualitative change, transforming from an intangible air form into an actual physical form.
As an ordinary person who cannot sense elemental power, before Clyde transformed the elemental power into a form visible to the naked eye, all Lu Xi could feel was the trembling in the air caused by the fluctuation of elemental power.
Physically, it feels a bit like wind blowing.
The creek where Clyde chose to stop was not big, and most of the people there were ordinary monsters. Even low-level monsters could not be seen, so Clyde did not burst out with too strong elemental power.
Before scaring away all the monsters, Clyde reached out and grabbed a few to use as food for the next few days.
Although there are monsters everywhere, you may not encounter suitable ones that can be used as food every day. For example, Lu Xi encountered once before, when a dragon flew across the route leaving its breath, and no monster dared to do so for several days. Appear.
Many times, even if a dragon is not used, even a mid-level monster will cause a commotion among a group of low-level monsters and ordinary monsters. This is how the monster tide happens.
Intermediate-level monsters that live in a certain place, for various reasons, leave their place of residence and go to other places, which will bring a wave of monsters along the way.
Therefore, the dragon-hunting mercenary group often stores prey that can be eaten for a long time in the contract package to prevent various accidents.
After figuring out the cause of the upset, several members of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group stopped blaming Lu Xi. After all, Lu Xi didn't mean it. She just didn't expect that such a group of people couldn't even eat spicy food.
Another thing is that the boiled mutton is so delicious that no one is willing to blame Lu Xi for it.
In fact, after such an incident, the speed of the journey was not much slower. After all, the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group as a whole followed Lu Xi's rhythm.
Lu Xi couldn't walk very fast, and the others had gone through various tests, so their physical strength was much stronger, and they recovered quickly, so when they stopped to rest at night, they were as expected. Didn't fall far.
"Miss Lucy! I'm here to help you set up the tent." Dina's face was still a little pale, but her condition was much better and she still looked full of enthusiasm and energy.
Miguel held an armful of fabric and followed Dina helplessly.
"How to build it?" Lu Xi looked around and saw no other tools except a handful of cloth in Miguel's arms.
"Hehe, it's up to me." Dina chuckled, without answering Lu Xi directly. She picked a good place, took out a few plant seeds in her hand, and threw them on the ground.
As soon as the seeds touched the ground, they suddenly sprouted and took root, growing rapidly. Several arm-thick emerald green vines intertwined with each other, and finally gathered at the top, blooming into beautiful little flowers.
Lu Xi looked at the conical "vine tent" with a diameter of more than two meters in front of him, and his eyes widened in shock.
In one corner of the vine tent, Dina controlled and left a door the size of which was convenient for entry and exit. Miguel, who was holding a pile of fabrics, took a step forward at this time, shaking off the fabrics in his arms and stretching them out. He was extremely skillful. It was hung on the door of the vine tent and served as a tent door.
Lu Xi reached out and touched the fabric. It was thick, smooth, and heavy. It was very similar to the rainproof cloth on the earth. It was also suitable for use as a tent door. It could prevent rain when it rained, and because it had enough It is heavy and will not be easily blown up by the wind.
It can only be said that mercenaries who can live in the wild have some ability.
Of course, Lu Xi is actually more curious about Dina's elemental magic. According to what she saw in the two fairy tale books and story books, there should be only four elements that make up this world: earth, water, fire and wind, and Dina uses The elemental magic that comes out is not among these four.
Wanting to know, Lu Xi asked. Although it might expose some of her ignorance, as long as Lu Xi didn't tell her exact origin, these people wouldn't doubt her.
From the moment this transaction was confirmed, Lu Xi's identity no longer needed to be doubted.
And it doesn't mean that as a noble, you must know everything. Sometimes, just because you are a noble, you are ignorant.
Sure enough, Dina did not doubt Lu Xi, but explained to Lu Xi naturally, "Hahaha, I knew many people would be curious, I am actually a mutated elemental mage."
Seeing Lu Xi's increasingly confused look, Dina simply explained.
Ultimately, the emergence of mutated elements can be traced back to the first civil strife after the establishment of the four elemental kingdoms.
The elemental contracts that were originally controlled by the four elemental kingdoms were taken to other places because of the rebels who caused rebellion. Many people with evil intentions took the opportunity to imitate the elemental contracts.
Some of those who succeeded in imitating used this as a basis to establish small countries outside the four elemental kingdoms, while others who failed in imitation removed those elemental contracts that were scrapped and unusable, and the rest underwent some mutations.
For example, the fire element becomes the thunder element, the water element becomes the ice element, and the earth element becomes the wood element.
"What about the wind element?" Lu Xi was curious.
The person who answered Lu Xi was Miguel, who is an elemental warrior with the wind attribute. "The wind is lonely. The wind is not on the earth. The wind will not stay, so the wind has no partners."
Lu Xi:?
"Pfft." Dina couldn't help laughing, and pulled Lu Xi to explain, "In fact, the mutated element is somewhat tainted with the power of other elements. For example, the wood element is the combination of the earth element and the water element, resulting in changes."
"Wind and other elements cannot merge together, so no mutant elements are produced."
After Dina got rid of Miguel, she whispered to Lu Xi, "Those with the wind element attribute especially like to be bards, White does the same, and even Miguel is like this."
"But White usually only says those words when he is lying to girls. I heard White say that in Pavaragang, the country of the wind element, the most famous saying is, 'The wind carries a message from afar.' ."
The amount of useless knowledge has increased, Lu Xi thought silently, and accompanied by Dina, entered the vine tent.
What makes Lu Xi most satisfied is that the ground is also covered with a layer of vines, so there is no need to directly contact the wet ground.
Xiulan sent Lu Xi's luggage over. It was originally carried by Kagli, but due to an accident in the afternoon, Lu Xi's luggage had to be handed over to Xiulan and put in his contract package.
Xiulan didn't need Dina to set up a tent for him. He brought his own extra large luxury tent, which could easily accommodate four people. Of course, only Cagli usually lived with him.
The body of the elemental mage is fragile, so Clyde specially arranges a corresponding partner for each elemental mage, in order to avoid any danger, because the elemental mage cannot resist on his own.
There are three elemental mages in the team, and White is a special one. He has a strong melee ability and does not need to have a fixed partner. I heard that he was initially trained as an elemental warrior, but later it was discovered that he had the qualities of an elemental mage. Talent has become what it is now.
The other two elemental mages, Dina and Xiulan, have basically fixed their partners. It goes without saying that Dina and Miguel are lovers. Among Hailin, Clyde, and Cagli, Hailin dislikes restraint the least. Clyde wanted to lead the entire team, leaving only Kagli, leaving no choice for Xiulan.
Activities such as night vigils basically do not require a few elemental mages, but as an alternative, elemental mages are indispensable for some chores in the team, such as cooking and washing dishes.
Although Xiulan doesn't do much of these chores and Kagli does all the chores for him, he has money and provides an irreplaceable role for the entire team in terms of materials.
After delivering the luggage, Xiulan did not leave in a hurry. She looked at Lu Xi very sheepishly, the anticipation in her eyes seemed to be materializing, "Miss Lucy, what do you want to eat tonight? We seem to have a lot of places." The stone sheep haven’t eaten yet.”
Xiulan's enthusiastic pursuit of spicy food shocked Lu Xi. She had no idea that such an aristocratic young man, who seemed to have no problem with anything, would love spicy food so much.
But after thinking about the tragedy that happened this afternoon, Lu Xi thought that he should make some light food to nourish these people's stomachs. It is better to cultivate spicy food little by little and get used to it slowly.
Before Lu Xi could speak, Dina had already held Lu Xi's hand very firmly, "Don't worry about us, whatever tastes delicious, you can do whatever you want. The stomachache is just a small problem, I can still persevere!"
Lu Xi was moved by Dina's belief in not fearing life and death for eating, and then politely rejected her request. Even if she kept eating spicy food, she wouldn't be able to stand it. She only needed to eat this kind of food occasionally.
Just in time to see Xiu Lan, most of the belongings of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group were placed in his contract package. Lu Xi asked by the way, "By the way, I saw you bring out white bread before. Do you have any?" Do you have flour with you?”
"Flour?" Xiulan shook his head, "There is no suitable oven on the road, so it is useless to bring flour."
Lu Xi looked regretful. He had never seen rice as a food in another world. Only flour for making bread could be used to recall the oriental pasta on earth.
In fact, the difference between bread and steamed buns is not very big. You only need to change the cooking method. Bread is baked, while steamed buns are steamed.
Therefore, the bread eaten by people from other worlds will be very hard and needs to be heated and eaten soaked in soup, while the steamed buns are much softer... but they are still very hard after being stored for a long time.
However, steamed buns are much softer than bread.
Another difference is that when making steamed buns, usually no other things are put in it, but when baking bread, milk, honey, butter and other things are added to it, so when you eat it, the bread will have more sweetness. , the steamed buns only have the taste of starch.
"Can flour be used for something else? Can it be used without an oven?" Dina was full of curiosity.
"Steamed buns and pancakes. Pancakes can be made into steamed dough pancakes and yeast pancakes. Oil pancakes can also be made. Meat pies and vegetable pies can also be made. Soup is best, but white bread still doesn't taste right." Lu Xi shook his head and sighed.
Life is incomplete without eating steaming hot white noodle steamed buns fresh out of the pan!
Woohoo, she wants to eat rice so much. Why don’t people from other worlds grow rice to eat? Goodbye to people from other worlds who don’t understand the beauty of rice!
Dina and Xiulan looked at each other and immediately decided what to do next - find Clyde and wait until the next human town is near to buy flour!
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Long were playing in the water and bathing in the creek. Lu Xi tidied up the entire vine tent, put straw mats and rabbit blankets on top, and then took out a new quilt sewn by Aunt Azuna. .
This vine tent is very large, with a height of more than two meters. Dina probably considered the existence of the young dragons and deliberately built it a little larger.
After packing up his things, Lu Xi walked out of the tent. The tents of other people nearby were also set up. A fire was lit in the middle of several tents. Kagli was setting up a pot there, and various kitchen utensils and ingredients were placed on the ground next to him. Wait for Luxi to arrive.
Considering that he had to nourish the stomachs of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group, Lu Xi picked some vegetables and prepared to make a pot of vegetable soup without any meat. Among them were carrots, which were purple in color. It is the main body of the vegetable soup. Against the background of other crispy vegetables, the purple radish is stewed especially soft and waxy.
Lu Xi did not move the head and internal organs of the Dishi sheep. He shaved off all the mutton leg meat and asked Kagli to chop it into extremely fine and sticky minced meat. He added salt, sugar, soy sauce and other seasonings and stirred evenly. Knead the mutton balls with your hands.
Put it into the bone soup and cook it. After taking it all out, Lu Xi divides half into oil and stir-fries with vegetables, and the other half is deep-fried.
The vegetable soup made by Lu Xi was too thick to be eaten with bread, but the bone soup after cooking the mutton meatballs was delicious. After tearing the bread into pieces and soaking it in, it became a completely different kind of food.
Xiulan even took out the hot sauce Lu Xi made for lunch, mixed it into a bowl, and added the spicy sauce manually.
Everyone looked at the several kinds of food in front of them and swallowed. With the spoons in their hands, they didn't know which one should be put in first. All of them looked so delicious.
"Is this really food I can enjoy?" Dina held the bowl and almost fainted with happiness.
