Chapter 107: Strange Hilichurls
"Hey, it seems that the water in this pool is very deep, maybe it connects the underground river of this snow-capped mountain......"
He reached out and probed the water to find out the temperature, it was cold.
"It's a pity that I have something to do now, otherwise I can try where this pool of water connects......"
He made a note of the location and prepared to try it out later.
As you continue to walk, you will see a cave covered in ice.
Although it is a cave, the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice crystals, and there are some glowing plants growing in the cave, which brings a little light to the cave and does not make it pitch black.
Jiang Bai held the torch and stepped on the slippery ground covered in ice, and the cave was still relatively dim at first, only the torches and those glowing plants could provide a little light.
But as you go further in, the cavern space grows larger and larger, and the vision gradually begins to brighten until you reach a huge cavern.
It's a huge cavern, so big that it almost hollows out the entire mountain.
Light poured down from the top, and it spilled on the ground and walls, and the frozen ice and snow scattered the light, making the cave inside the cave look bright.
Jiang Bai looked up, even the dome of the cave was completely covered by ice crystals, and strings of sharp ice picks hung upside down on the dome, and from time to time an ice pick loosened and fell into the cave, smashing a pit into the ground that had frozen into hard soil.
Jiang Bai hurriedly looked at the top of his head, where an ice pick was eager to try, ready to give his head a look.
He hurriedly took out a large umbrella and shrouded himself under the umbrella, so as not to suddenly be attacked by nature's hidden weapon in his head.
"It's really dangerous......" Hearing the sound of ice picks falling on the umbrella surface, Jiang Bai sighed and shook off the ice slag.
There will be dangers in the wild, just like this cave, it looks safe, but once you let your guard down because of this, maybe the ice pick falling from above can kill you.
As he walked forward, the whole cavern unfolded before his eyes.
He was standing on a narrow road at the moment, the path was only one person wide, and the road was full of frozen ice.
If you accidentally slip and fall, you may just slide down from here, and you won't have time to spread your wings of the wind, and you will end up half-fused.
He threw a stone down, and the stone slammed against the ground, and in addition to the crisp sound, there was a cry of pain from the hilichurls.
Jiang Bai's neck shrunk, pretending that he hadn't done anything.
Are there hilichurls in this cave? The stone he had just thrown had just happened to hit the hilichurl.
He looked around and saw that there was only one way out of the cave to the bright place above, and the light was too bright to see where it would lead, but it was always right to follow the direction of the light.
It's just that the road connects to the white mist below, and if he wants to get to the way up, he must go down this road first, enter the bottom, and then find the way up.
It's a bit complicated, but in short, he's going to go down to the hilichurl he's just smashed to apologize.
Hopefully, the hilichurl will be able to withstand his apology.
He carefully followed the path down, through the white mist, and the visibility in his vision gradually increased, and he saw a small hilichurl sitting on the ground, with a large bag on his head, and the stone he had just thrown fell beside it.
It rubbed the big bag on top of its head and made an aggrieved sound.
Jiang Bai's conscience ached a little, and he quietly approached the hilichurl, ready to surprise it.
It picked up the stone that had hit him in anger and smashed it hard against the stone wall, and the stone bounced off the stone wall and fell at Jiang Bai's feet, allowing the hilichurl to see Jiang Bai.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the human, the hilichurl was stunned for a while, and just when Jiang Bai thought it was going to attack him, the hilichurl walked up to him and tilted his head, making a puzzled sound.
“olah~”
"What?"
Jiang Bai couldn't understand its language, but this hilichurl didn't seem to have any intention of fighting him, which also made the rock element condensed in his hand stop.
So far, all he knew about hilichurls was that they were monsters.
This was the first hilichurl he had encountered that did not attack him, but was friendly to him.
“a~la~uno~”
The hilichurl spoke a language he didn't understand, but in terms of tone, it probably meant something positive, right?
“a~la~”
Jiang Bai repeated it blankly, not knowing why.
The little hilichurl danced around him, and then walked forward without warning, and after walking for a while, he found that Jiang Bai had not followed, and walked back again.
It didn't get too close to Jiang Bai, nor did it try to grab Jiang Bai's clothes, but just used its body movements to signal Jiang Bai to go with him.
“ya~ todo~”
Jiang Bai was even more at a loss, what does this hilichurl mean?
Do you want him to follow him to the camp, and then let the clansmen rush up and give him the Fa-rectification on the spot?
No wonder he speculated on hilichurls with such malice, but he couldn't think of any other possibility.
It can't be the hilichurl who knows him, right?
Out of curiosity, he followed, after all, the hilichurls were really no threat to him.
This hilichurl took Jiang Bai into a cave, which was quite large and inhabited by many hilichurls.
In the middle is a simple wooden house, and in front of the house there is a specially vacated flat land, painted with oil paint, and there are specially shaped pillars inserted next to it, like a small altar.
Torches are lit around the cave, and large pieces of graffiti are painted on the walls, making it difficult to read what is drawn.
Jiang Bai counted it, there are two hilichurl shamans, three big hilichurls, plus the small hilichurls placed in different pools by Slim, there are a total of 21 monsters, which can be regarded as a medium-sized monster base.
Seeing him coming, the hilichurls who had been doing their own business by themselves became vigilant.
But since he was followed by the hilichurls in front of him, these hilichurls did not attack him immediately, but took weapons and watched him vigilantly.
“olah~”
“dala ya?”
“lka zido!”
“unu movo...”
After these hilichurls had a conversation that Jiang Bai didn't understand, Jiang Bai found that their attitude towards him was a little better, although only a little, but it was indeed not as vigilant as at the beginning.
The hilichurl who had brought Jiang Bai over ran into the wooden house, took out two somewhat dry sunset fruits, and handed one to Jiang Bai.
“gurg guru~”
