Chapter 106: The Shadow Behind the Mask

These hilichurls, who don't know how long they have lived in the snowy mountains, are not afraid of the cold, and they are not in the habit of using clothing to keep warm, except for some cloth that covers key parts.

Jiang Bai hid behind the stones, looking at these hilichurls who were either dancing, sleeping, or building snowmen, and suddenly became a little curious.

Since these white hilichurls are not afraid of the cold, if they are put in a hot environment, are they afraid of the heat?

Or are you not afraid of hot or cold?

Jiang Bai hurriedly stopped his somewhat superfluous curiosity, now is not the time to study whether the hilichurls are afraid of the cold.

The hilichurls didn't have a strong sense of perception, and he moved his wrist, took out his reasoning, and rushed towards the group of hilichurls who were blocking their way.

He didn't want to bully these hilichurls, but they stopped him in his way, so he could only send them back to the west!

The hilichurl priest was still dancing around the fire, and he didn't notice that there was an enemy lurking nearby, and the other hilichurls were also doing their own thing, and they didn't notice Jiang Bai's existence at all.

When they found out that Jiang Bai was coming, they hurriedly picked up their weapons, and their sacrifice had already swallowed.

Jiang Bai treated these hilichurls equally, and sent them to see God with one hammer and one hammer.

May there be no Jiang Bai in heaven, Amen!

After easily solving a group of hilichurls, Jiang Bai was refreshed.

However, looking at the hilichurl who fell to the ground, the curiosity in Jiang Bai's heart rose again.

What do these hilichurls look like under their masks?

He walked over to a dead hilichurl and crouched down, curiously lifting its mask.

Because these masks have not been lifted for too long, they have become one with the body, and Jiang Bai has some difficulty lifting them.

Beneath the mask is a face that does not look like a human being, with bruised skin, strange lines on it, and fine and dense hairs that give people goosebumps at a glance.

Those eyes are still in the normal range, and the two eyes are at the place where they should be, but there are no whites of the eyes, black holes, and they are inexplicably a little weird.

Its nose is short and small, a bit like a pig's nose, and its mouth grows just under the mask, so it doesn't prevent it from eating even when it is wearing a mask.

Overall, it is the face of a child who will cry.

I don't know why these hilichurls wear masks, is it because they feel terrible when they see their faces?

It seemed that all the hilichurls he had seen so far, whether they were in Liyue or Snow Mountain, large or small, whether they were sacrificial or ordinary, were wearing masks.

Is this similar behavior racial?

Bloodline? Born from a sense of community?

Jiang Bai picked up the crossbow machine used by these hilichurls, this crossbow machine seems simple, but in fact, the parts are quite precise, even children who don't know anything can use it directly.

"These crossbows were made by these hilichurls?"

There are very obvious traces of forging on it, the kind of steel that is uniformly pressed by lathes and assembled, as if it were produced in a human factory.

It's just that why are human-produced crossbow machines in the hands of hilichurls?

Not only the hilichurls here will use this, but also the hilichurls in Liyue Mountain will use crossbows, and they can also fire arrows of different elements, which can cause a lot of trouble even if they are a little less accurate.

It can't be that this is also due to the commonality of the group, right?

Jiang Bai put down the crossbow machine and burrowed into the hilichurl camp.

It was just a small camp, simply made up of a few pieces of cloth that were tied to stones from the branches of trees to keep out the wind and snow. Some simple wooden boxes were randomly placed aside, Jiang Bai broke the wooden boxes, and found that they were filled with some air-dried meat slices, vegetables, and sunset fruits.

Obviously, this is the way they use to store food.

In addition to this, there is a small fire in the center of the camp, supported by two branches, and a pot hung from which adventurer I don't know what to snatch.

Jiang Bai lifted the pot and saw that there were two pieces of meat and two carrots thrown in the pot, which should have been cleaned, the carrots looked quite clean, and there was no soil, but the guy who cooked the food obviously didn't have the consciousness to cut the vegetables, just cooked the food, and didn't care about the taste at all.

Judging from these signs, it is clear that the IQ of these hilichurls is not high enough, and there is only the easiest way to think about problems.

But where did these hilichurls with low IQs get their crossbow machines? And how do you train and use it?

Or is there an unknown force secretly funding and training these monsters?

Thinking about it, Jiang Bai wrapped his coat tightly.

According to Hu Tao, hilichurls are monsters that can be found throughout the continent of Teyvat, that is, everywhere.

But there is such an unknown force that is secretly training them for an unknown purpose.

Once this organization gathers all the hilichurls together and wants to do something......

Jiang Bai couldn't help but shudder when he thought about that scene.

He dug a deep pit and buried all the corpses of the hilichurls, giving the monsters a final home.

In fact, cremation is the most suitable, but Jiang Bai does not have the conditions for them to be cremated, so he can only bury them on the spot, lest the corpses of these monsters be made into sacrificial materials by people with ulterior motives, and make some dangerous and evil things.

No one can guarantee that there are no evil gods in this world, and those who are born in the Hall of the Dead, whether it is the corpse of a monster or a human corpse, can be disposed of when they see it.

After disposing of the corpse, Jiang Bai found a leyline anchor point on a large rock.

Another leyline node is lit up.

I kept walking along the main road, and as I walked, I suddenly became a dead end in front of me.

The huge building that once stood in the mountains collapsed, leaving only huge stone pillars and half a stone wall, and in the gap between the stone walls and stone pillars, a path was dug up for one person.

At the end of the path was darkness, and the whining of the wind came from it, which inexplicably frightened people and did not dare to enter.

There are smooth stone walls all around, and the stone walls are covered with a layer of ice and snow, Jiang Bai climbed twice, and there is no focus point at all.

There was no other way around but this, and he had no choice but to light a torch and hunch himself into the crack, trying to find a way up the mountain.

The path was extremely narrow at first, surrounded by all kinds of fallen buildings, and gradually widened as you walked.

He saw a large circular ice pool, the water was completely frozen, and he looked up to see that there was also a circular building above.

Perhaps in the distant past, it was used as a fish pond for fishing, or as a place for sacrifices.

Jiang Bai threw a stone and smashed the ice, and the thick ice made a kacha cracking sound.

Jiang Bai pulled out the broken ice and threw another stone.

After a long time, the sound of stones sinking to the bottom came.
