Chapter Sixty-Nine: Stabbed the Hill Nest
Bidding farewell to Starfire and Eco, Shi Lan set off again.
Starfire: "Have a nice trip!" Be sure to stay safe at night! β
Eco: "Be safe!" β
"Can you stop learning from me?!"
"Can you stop learning from me!"
"Ahhhh God, help me!! β
"Help me......"
Legend has it that in ancient times, it was the residence of the Demon God of Dust and the people under his command.
During the Demon God War, the final battle was killed, and the rock emperor Morax, who was friendly with him, took over the responsibility of protecting the final clan.
Later, when Guiliyuan was flooded, everyone moved to Tianheng Mountain, where they jointly founded Liyue Harbor.
From there, Guili was desolate, with only ancient ruins proving the glory of the past.
Go west from the station of Xinghuo, and according to the map, you will reach the range of Cuijue Slope after passing the bridge in front.
Standing by the river, Shi Lan was dumbfounded.
"Where's the bridge......?"
Looking at the map, it shows that there is a road here, and there is also a bridge in Shi Lan's memory.
But now, the rough river blocked the way, and there was only a street lamp with a broken lantern, indicating that there was once a bridge across the river.
"What should I do? The river is turbulent, and if I go down, my feet can't reach the end......" Shi Lan hurriedly walked back and forth: "Or find a way to cut some wood and build a raft?" β
The sun had already set, Shi Lan took out his pocket watch and took a look, the time was close to seven o'clock.
It's too late to cross the river on a raft, and it's more important to find a place to pitch a tent and light a campfire.
Shi Lan looked at the four fields and saw a clearing, and was just about to walk over, when his ears moved, and he heard a sudden inaudible sound of bows and crossbows.
"Not good!"
Then, a flame staggered and shot down obliquely from the sky!
"Someone's sneaking up?"
Shi Lan's eyes were quick, and he dodged the rocket sideways to the side, grabbed the arrow in an instant, and even pinched it off directly.
It's not that Shi Lan is too strong, but the arrows are really powerless, and the materials are cut out of the simplest branches.
If it weren't for the fact that the arrow had fire and deserved respect, it wouldn't have been good even if it was inserted into Shi Lan's body.
Before Shi Lan could see who it was, another rickety white light appeared, but this time it was obviously a little floating, and it fell crookedly into the water, forming a small piece of ice.
"Elemental power!" Shi Lan was shocked.
Could it be another Vision wielder attack?
It's just that this power and precision are up for debate.
He crouched behind the rocks, looking for the direction the arrow was coming from.
It was a small valley, bare and devoid of grass and trees, and there was a strange fence at the entrance to the valley, from which a little fire faintly appeared.
"Isn't there going to be any more bandits?"
A large black shadow was cast on the wall at the entrance, accompanied by the sound of noisy footsteps, the fire was bright, and someone came out.
Shi Lan swallowed a mouthful of spit, "This head is too big!" This has to be two of me as tall!? β
Thinking of this, Shi Lan couldn't help but retreat.
Although it is a loss of the protagonist's aura to run away like this, there are many people on the other side! And maybe a Vision wielder!
The shadows on the walls grew smaller and smaller under the influence of the light, and at last four or five diminutive creatures came out, muttering words that no one could understand.
βYAοΌ YAοΌ β
They were unkempt, with strange masks on their faces, short stature, swarthy limbs, and carried sticks made of animal leg bones and wooden pot lids that they had snatched from humans to use as shields.
They turn heads to ears and run back and forth along the road, as if looking for an enemy.
"I'm going... It turned out to be hilichurls! β
Shi Lan was dumbfounded.
I was scared by them!
I have also encountered shells when I picked them up in the past, and they basically sank into the water when they were lifted up, and Shi Lan was never afraid of them.
Since he was a hilichurl, Shi Lan didn't hide, picked up a small stone and smashed a hilichurl mask directly, and then jumped out from behind the stone: "Sneak attack me!" Heads are broken for you! β
The remaining three hilichurls were startled, frightened by the humans rushing in front of them, and they screamed unintelligible words in their mouths, and froze in place for a while.
Shi Lan raised his foot and kicked on the stomach of the hilichurl, the latter's thin body could not bear Shi Lan's strength, and took off directly on the spot with a scream, crashing into the stone unconscious.
Picking up the fallen bones, he threw them straight towards the red hilichurls in the distance.
The red hilichurl figure flickered, and he actually rolled over to avoid the beast bones thrown over!
"Huh?" Shi Lan was startled, and smashed the lid of the pot of the hilichurl next to him with another punch, staring at the red hilichurl all the time.
The red hilichurl took the stick in his hand, rubbed it with his other hand, lit it like a match, and then, clenching the stick, burst out with an astonishing momentum, and rushed forward with the burning stick.
The stick is messy and looks like it's swinging, but there's no denying that there's a very primitive beauty.
It is strong-willed, and with each swing it creates a dazzling arc in the air, accompanied by a charge of flames.
βBiat yeοΌβ
The red hilichurls are menacing, and their wielding fire sticks are very scary.
Shi Lan's face changed, and he was forced to retreat again and again.
At a loss, the red hilichurl fell......
This swing seemed to use all its strength, staggered two steps, and threw itself into the street on the spot, and the fire stick took off its hand and flew over Shi Lan's face......
Shi Lan: "........."
A moment later, Shi Lan slapped his face into the dirt and dragged it into the valley with his legs.
It was a large clearing, with a huge igloo in the middle of it, surrounded by rudimentary guardrails, and two watchtowers, surrounded by a number of basins for unknown purposes, with some water in them, and a water slime in them.
Shi Lan frowned, feeling very wrong, there was not a single hilichurl in the empty camp, and it was clear that the bonfire was still burning.
"Could it be that there are only a few hilichurls outside the entire camp?"
There was movement at the watchtower, and Shi Lan looked up and noticed that there were two hilichurls crawling down, anxious, as if they were hiding from something.
The colors of one red and one white are obviously the two that attacked him just now.
"Am I that terrible?"
Shi Lan still has to settle the account of the sneak attack with it, so naturally he won't let them go easily.
He kicked over the tub on the ground, and a round water slime rolled out of it.
Carrying the back of the ice crossbow hilichurl, Shi Lan easily lifted it up: "What are you running?" β
The other firebolt hilichurl ran back to their big room, leaning on the doorframe and looking out worriedly.
Surprisingly, the hilichurl in his hand had no intention of resisting, it just kept pointing at the dark sky, saying words that it didn't understand, and its feet fluttered wildly in the air, as if it had seen something terrible.
Shi Lan frowned, and before he could say anything, a few hilichurls who had been knocked down by himself outside just now ran back.
They limped as they walked, and were visibly startled when they saw the two hilichurls that Shi Lan was carrying.
The hilichurls pressed their bodies against the wall, looked at Shi Lan in horror, and kept moving to the side to make sure that Shi Lan would not move, so they ran towards the wooden house with all their might.
It's weird.
The actions of these hilichurls left Shi Lan scratching his head.
They don't seem to be afraid of themselves......
At the same time, the wind seemed to be blowing around.
There was an unsettling aura coming from the whole Returning Place.
Shi Lan let go of the Ice Crossbow Hilichurl, only to see it fall to the ground and use its hands and feet to go to the wooden house, as if it would die if it didn't enter the wooden house.
"I'm going to see what's weird here."
Shi Lan strode after the Ice Ballist.
It ran into the hut and pulled a guardrail to block the doorway.
Shi Lan kicked the guardrail away without even looking at it, and walked straight in......
Not surprisingly, he caught the eyes of the audience.
King of the Rock Helmet: "??? β
Fire Axe Hill Mob: "??? β
Mudun Hill Mob: "??? β
The room full of hilichurls was stunned.
Shi Lan was also stunned.
