Lu Li put the dragon eggs away and stared at the black dragon and asked.
"It's gone..., the rest is buried in the treasure."
Black Dragon said with a sad face.
"Hey, I obviously gave you a chance, but you are so disappointed!"
Lu Li's expression showed that he hated iron, which made Black Dragon even more nervous.
"Brother! My true body is also a good thing! If you don't dislike it, just keep it."
The black dragon pointed at the black dragon's body several hundred meters tall in the lake and said.
"What do I need your tattered body for?"
Lu Li said angrily.
"Brother, the dragon clan is full of treasures!"
"Dragon horns can be used to refine medicine, dragon scales can be used to make armor, and dragon claws can be used to make weapons..."
Black Dragon introduced every part of his body like a treasure trove.
His demeanor was very much like that of a professional salesman.
"Okay, then I will reluctantly accept it."
Lu Li showed a reluctant expression and put the body away.
"Get [Undecomposed Shadow Dragon Corpse] x1"
"Does it decompose?"
As soon as he put it in his backpack, Lu Li saw a prompt.
Lu Li chose Yes, and another prompt popped up.
"The backpack has insufficient space and cannot be decomposed. Please upgrade the backpack."
"Can this backpack be upgraded?"
Lu Li was surprised and happy.
Only then did he discover that there was an upgrade option on the backpack interface.
The current capacity of the backpack is 9 cells, which is a bit small.
Each time the backpack is upgraded, the capacity can be increased by 9 spaces.
The first upgrade of the backpack requires 1 gold coin, and the second upgrade requires 10 gold coins.
The cost of subsequent backpack upgrades will increase tenfold.
The further you go, the more money it will cost to upgrade your backpack.
In the Cube Kingdom, people use gold and silver coins to conduct transactions.
1 gold coin = 100 silver coins.
Lu Li's total money now does not exceed 10 silver coins, he can be said to be a pauper.
It seems that the matter of upgrading the backpack can only be put aside for now.
As for the black dragon in front of him, Lu Li was a little undecided.
The things have been collected, should I spare his life?
If he goes back on his word, wouldn't that be no different from the black dragon?
But he is a scourge after all, leaving endless troubles in his wake.
Just when Lu Li was confused, Black Dragon spoke.
"Brother, I know what you are thinking. If you are worried about my retaliation later, I can sign a contract with you."
"Contract? Stop it. I've been tricked once before. I won't be fooled this time."
"No, no, no, I am sincere this time! As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to sign a life and death contract with you!"
"What is a life and death contract? Let's talk about it."
Lu Li became interested for a moment.
"The life and death contract is unilateral and will not have any impact on you. After signing the contract, you can control my life and death at will."
"Oh? And this kind of contract? It sounds pretty good."
If what Black Dragon said is true, then this would be a good idea.
Anyway, it was Black Dragon himself who asked for it, so Lu Li didn't feel any burden in his heart.
"Then do as you say."
Lu Li nodded and said.
Black Dragon was overjoyed and quickly signed the contract.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Although it's embarrassing to be a dog-legger to others, it's enough to save a life.
As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die.
Dragons have long lifespans, while humans have short lifespans.
As long as Lu Li survives until he dies of old age, he can be reborn!
Besides, following Lu Li is not necessarily a bad thing.
At least, you can leave this hellish place and go see the outside world.
He has been trapped here for hundreds of years and has long been bored with everything here.
After everything settled, Lu Li and Heilong took back their souls.
The black dragon is now temporarily possessed by Lu Li and is preparing to leave here with him.
After regaining control of his body, Lu Li stretched comfortably.
From today on, Lu Li is Steve, and Steve is Lu Li.
Under the guidance of the black dragon, Lu Li walked towards the outside of the misty forest.
Along the way, Lu Li was like a curious baby, asking questions constantly.
"Xiao Hei, why is there fog in the misty forest?"
"I only know that there are many powerful monsters imprisoned here."
Black Dragon shook his head and said.
"Then...are you the most powerful monster in the misty forest?"
Lu Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, with some vague expectation.
"I don't know, I guess not. This place is still some distance from the center of the misty forest. There should be existences stronger than me."
"Who is the being who is more powerful than the Dragon Clan..."
Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.
…
After several hours of trekking, Lu Li finally arrived at the outskirts of the misty forest.
If the black dragon hadn't led the way, he might have gotten lost in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
The outskirts of the misty forest were particularly lively today.
People in nearby villages heard that someone had broken into the misty forest and came to watch the show.
Steve's mother Tikki was surrounded in the middle.
At this time, she was heartbroken.
Just turning around, his precious son disappeared.
The most terrifying thing is that someone saw Steve walking into the misty forest with his own eyes.
This is no different from directly issuing a death sentence.
While the surrounding villagers were having a heated discussion, Lu Li had arrived.
From a distance, he saw the huge battle outside.
"Good guy! I disappeared for a short while, why did so many people come out?"
He thought about it and decided to pretend to be weak so as not to be seen by others.
"Oh my god! Am I not dazzled?! Someone came out of the misty forest!"
With the appearance of Lu Li, the crowd exploded again.
Ti Qi, who was already in despair, raised her head in shock and saw Lu Li staggering for two steps before falling to the ground.
"Steve! How are you? Are you okay?"
She quickly ran over to check the situation.
"I...it's okay..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Li fell to the ground with a thud.
Lu Li tried his best to pretend to look more miserable so that he could get away with it.
Fortunately, these villagers did not see through his ruse and all believed him.
A few hours later, Lu Li slowly woke up.
This sleep was particularly sweet.
After opening his eyes, Lu Li found that he was back home.
His mother, Tiki, was sitting next to him at this time.
She lowered her head and her eyes were sunken.
When Lu Li saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Mother……"
Seeing Lu Li wake up, his mother Ti Qi was overjoyed.
Lu Li just wanted to sit up when she pushed him back.
"Don't move, you need to have a good rest."
Lu Li had no choice but to lie back down again.
"Don't run around next time, the misty forest is no joke."
