Although this valley is also a good place to cross the calamity, it still can't satisfy Xuexi.

Early the next morning, Xue Xi left the small valley that had no owner, and continued to advance towards the depths of the Night Forest.

Xue Xi walked inward all the way, and the day passed like this. The forest at night is dangerous, although this danger is not worth mentioning for Xue Xi, but Xue Xi still chooses to stop and rest.

Xue Xi lit a fire in a clearing, and then quietly watched the sun fall, nibbling on the fruit.

The Breeze Mercenary Regiment took over a mission at the Mercenary Guild in Night City five days ago, and according to the content of this mission, they entered the Night Forest.

They needed to hunt a cub of at least a sixth-order demonic beast, but unfortunately, this was not the golden age of demonic beast production. Therefore, the people of the Qingfeng Mercenary Group searched for five days in fear, but they could not find a cub that met the requirements.

Seeing that one day passed and there was still no result, everyone had no choice but to find a place to camp as soon as possible. The Night Forest at night is a hundred times more dangerous than during the day, and the people of the Breeze Mercenary Group are not as brave as those who still wander around the Night Forest at night.

It's just that there don't seem to be many places to be stationed in this area, and seeing that the sun is about to set, the speed of the people of the Qingfeng Mercenary Group can't help but increase.

As night fell, the roars of beasts began to sound everywhere. The hearts of the six members of the Qingfeng Mercenary Group couldn't help but rise.

Suddenly, one of the two girls said, "Look, there's a fire over there!"

Luya's words made everyone happy, and Hudson, the leader of the Qingfeng Mercenary Group, hurriedly looked in the direction Luya pointed, and sure enough, there was a little fire in the distance.

If there is a fire, it means that there must be someone there, and if there are people, then maybe you can camp there. Hudson didn't think that the people there might not give up part of the camp, but now that it was getting dark, there was no better choice for the time being, so he had to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"Let's go and see. Discuss it with the people there if it's convenient and let us stay there for one night too. When the others heard Hudson say this, they all nodded in agreement. The group of Qingfeng mercenary group no longer hesitated and rushed towards the firelight.

Xue Xi was nibbling on fruit while thinking about her own affairs.

"It's been a few days since I entered the Night Forest, and I still haven't had a favorite place. I don't think I have much time left before I can survive the catastrophe, and I really can't afford to spend time. Looks like I'd better speed it up, or I'll be in trouble if I don't get it ready yet. In that case, stay around for another day, and if you still can't find a good place, you'll have to go deeper. ”

Xue Xi opened her mouth and took another bite of the fruit in her hand, and suddenly her movements stopped. Xue Xi looked up at the side ahead, where someone was walking this way, and there were more than one person.

After a while, a group of six people gradually appeared in the darkness. This is the Breeze Mercenary Group that has just been found by the firelight.

The people of the Breeze Mercenary Regiment originally thought that they would be a strong team that could camp in such a place, but when they got closer, they found that there seemed to be only one person next to the fire.

At first, everyone thought it was just because it was too far away and it was too dark, so they were wrong. But when they walked not far from the fire, they realized that there was really only one person there, and it was just a small-looking girl.

Although Hudson was also surprised, the experience accumulated over the years told him that the girl in front of him was definitely not simple.

An old mercenary who had taught Hudson had said something to him, and Hudson still remembered it vividly.

That passage goes like this, if you go to the mainland in the future, remember that there are several kinds of people that must not be underestimated, that is, single old people, children and women.

Hudson was unimpressed at first, but since he had suffered a loss to an amiable-looking old man, he had been convinced of it. So now he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt for the girl in front of him.

Xue Xi looked at the man in front of him, dressed in simple coarse cloth clothes, with flaxen hair roughly tied, and a big sword pinned to his waist. Xue Xi's eyes were drawn to a badge on Hudson's chest.

It was a round badge the size of a green dollar coin, with a shield, a great sword, and a staff carved into it in some way. The shield is located at the bottom, and the broadsword and development cross are attached to the surface of the shield.

This sign is the unique symbol of the mercenary union, and Xue Xi has seen it before. Out of curiosity about the mercenaries, Xue Xi also inquired about the mercenaries.

There are only three most transcendent organizations in the Star Continent, one is the Wizards Association, the second is the Swordsman Guild, and the last one is the Mercenary Guild.

The Mercenary Guild claims to have the largest number of members, and five out of ten people in the continent may be mercenaries, so this is true. It is naturally not so convenient to manage so many people, so the mercenary union has adopted some means to assist in management.

For example, the hierarchy of mercenaries is one of them.

The mercenaries in the Star Continent are divided into two categories, one is the lone adventurer surnamed Lone Ranger, and the other is the mercenary group that can be formed by at least five people.

Regardless of the type of mercenary, they are divided into nine ranks. Each grade has a corresponding color, starting with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, silver, and gold.

It is not so easy to improve the level of mercenaries on the Star Continent, and the team in front of them is actually a fourth-class mercenary group. This made Xue Xi a little surprised, of course, just a little surprised.

Seeing Hudson approaching, Xuexi asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Hudson raised his right hand and pressed his left shoulder, bowed slightly, and said, "Under Hudson, he is the leader of the Qingfeng Mercenary Regiment. These are all members of our Breeze Mercenary Regiment. We've been delayed today because of our mission, so we haven't found a place to camp. Seeing that there was a fire here, he took the liberty of coming. I just don't know if Miss can give us some territory, and we promise that we will never disturb Miss. ”

Xue Xi understood when she heard this, her feelings were missed and she wanted to camp here. Xue Xi is not a stingy person, and besides, this place is not hers.

She replied casually, "This place is so big, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about me." ”

Hudson immediately said, "That's so thankful, Miss." We also need to set up camp so as not to disturb the young lady's rest. ”

Hudson bowed, then turned around and set up camp with the group to cook on a fire a little further away from the snowfall. Xue Xi glanced at it, and rested against the trunk of the tree with her eyes closed.

The Qingfeng mercenary group is not big, and there are only six people in front of them in total. The leader Hudson is a great sword master, and the deputy leader Luya is a great mage of the wind and fire systems, and she is also the strongest one in the entire Qingfeng mercenary group.

The other four were ordinary members, but the girl was a light mage. Her position in the Breeze Mercenary Group is only below Luya.

For people who often camp in the wilderness, setting up camp is the easiest thing to do, and six people can set up a tent or something in a few minutes. What made Xue Xi slightly curious was that those people actually had magic rings.

The light magician was called Li Mei, and she didn't have anything to do while others were preparing dinner. Seeing Xue Xi resting on the trunk alone, he walked over.

Xue Xi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Li Mei who was gradually approaching. Li Meijing sat down next to Xue Xi and looked at Xue Xi curiously.

Li Mei was very puzzled in her heart, why did such a small girl dare to come to such a dangerous place alone?

"My name is Li Mei, what about you?" Li Mei asked as she looked at Xue Xi.

Xue Xi closed her eyes again and ignored Li Mei.

Li Mei was stunned, she had never been snubbed by anyone in the Qingfeng Mercenary Group, but she didn't expect to be ignored by a little girl today. This made Li Mei a little depressed.

Luya didn't see Li Mei in the camp and came out to look for her, and saw Li Mei sitting beside Xue Xi with a sullen face, looking at Xue Xi's eyes, which was called a resentment.

Lu Ya slowly walked to Li Mei's side and sat down as well, "What's the matter? Who bullied our little princess of Qingfeng?"

In fact, when Luya saw the situation here, she already knew roughly what was going on.

"Sister Luya, do you think I'm annoying?"

"Of course not, our little princess is so cute. Luya immediately comforted.

"Then why didn't she ignore me?" Li Mei asked rhetorically, pointing at Xue Xi.

Luya glanced at Xue Xi, in fact, even she was curious about why Xue Xi was single and haunted the Dark Night Forest.

"Little sister, what's your name?" Luya asked in what she thought was the gentlest tone, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't introduced her name yet, so she continued, "My name is Luya, you can call me Sister Luya like Meimei." ”

Xue Xi just adjusted her body, but there was still no response. She doesn't know these people well, and besides, after tomorrow, everyone will be separated, so there is no need to know each other now.

The smile on Luya's face stiffened slightly, "That, little sister, it's rude for you to do this." You should at least look at your sister. ”

"Do you often move around the Night Forest?" Xue Xi suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

Luya was a little caught off guard by Xue Xi's sudden question, "Ah, oh. Our Breeze Mercenary Regiment is usually active in the vicinity of Night City. Because we're all natives of Night City. ”

Xue Xi turned her head to look at Luya, "So you're familiar with the Night Forest?"

Speaking of her understanding of the Dark Night Forest, Lu Ya's eyebrows instantly fluttered, "That's right, we know almost all about the outer and central parts of the Night Forest. ”

Luya's tone inevitably revealed pride. Xue Xi originally asked, but she didn't expect these people to really understand the terrain.

Looks like we can get them to help. Xue Xi thought silently in her heart.

"Little sister, you haven't told your sister what your name is. When Xue Xi lowered her head and thought, Lu Ya suddenly said.

Xue Xi frowned slightly, but considering that she might still be able to use them, she didn't want to offend them too much, so she said casually, "Leng Xue Xi, my name." ”

"Leng Xuexi? What a strange name. Luya whispered to herself, "But it's good." It's just that the surname Leng seems to be rare. ”

"Now that you know my name, I think I can rest quietly. Xue Xi said lightly, with a sense of send-off in her tone.

Lu Ya and Li Mei looked at each other, and they didn't understand for a while why Xue Xi, who had just been fine, suddenly became so cold again. However, Xue Xi had already said this, and Lu Ya and Li Mei were embarrassed to continue to bother.

"Okay, Sister Xuexi, you can rest, Li Mei and I will also go back. Luya said and pulled Li Mei up and walked towards the camp.

Li Mei looked back at Xue Xi and stomped her feet unwillingly. But in the end, he was pulled away by Luya.

After Luya and Li Mei left, Xue Xi arranged some prohibitions around her. These prohibitions formed a simple phantom array, which surrounded and covered the small area where Xue Xi was located.

Xue Xi entered the space with confidence, and went to talk to that Hudson tomorrow to see if she could get some useful information, so let's continue to cultivate now.;
