Nothing is gratuitous, it is quite possible that there is something in this cave that boosts the IQ of these hilichurls.

Only when the IQ has reached a certain level and the development of the ethnic group can be considered, can such a concept be produced.

After all, in the long run, the experience and experience of the elderly are much more important than the strength of the young and fierce.

The latter can only determine temporary survival, while the former can lead to long-term development.

It didn't take long for him to discover a place with strange energy fluctuations.

The ripple came from the innermost part of the cave, covered by the deep ice on the wall, and beneath the ice below, there was a stream of water.

He didn't rush to find out what was inside, but returned to the place where Jiang Bai was staying.

As the smell of food came out, many hilichurls gathered around.

They gathered around the pot and looked at Jiang Bai with blank eyes.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not ripe yet."

Jiang Bai soothed their hungry stomachs, and didn't care if they understood it or not.

The hilichurls wiped their saliva and surrounded Jiang Bai.

Klee was mixed in with them, and she wasn't hungry, but seeing that they were all so greedy, she became hungry too.

She tried to open her small backpack and get some food, but she didn't have anything in her backpack except bombs, let alone candy.

"Hmm... Klee didn't bring anything to eat, no food to share with friends......"

Klee was a little lost.

Hearing her voice, Jiang Bai looked back and chuckled, "Albedo should have brought it, you go and ask Albedo." ”

Klee's eyes lit up and she ran to find Albedo.

Jiang Bai continued to cook the food, and it didn't take long for the aroma of the food to completely erupt.

Jiang Bai casually condensed a large long table, and condensed several stone bowls, like a canteen cook, spoonful by spoonful to fill food.

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone has a share."

Bring out all the food in the pot, no more, no less, everyone is just right.

Klee pulled Albedo over, who was holding a box of toast.

Toast is a portable and hungry food, and Albedo brings the most.

"Klee wants everyone to share the food, too!"

Albedo followed Klee with a cardboard box, and Klee earnestly handed out a toast to each hilichurl.

“odomu nini~”

Friends, like.

“mosi mita！”

Happy.

The short language came and went, and although Klee didn't understand, it didn't stop her from feeling their happiness.

So, she was even happier.

He had never been friends with hilichurls before, and Captain Jean always told her that these monsters were dangerous and told her not to go near them.

But now, looking at these hilichurls, Klee felt a genuine sense of pride.

Jiang Bai touched her head, hoping that this special experience could bring more insights to her growth path.

Although she may not feel anything special about this experience now, when she grows up to a certain age, she may be able to look at a population and a thing more objectively.

"Come, eat."

Jiang Bai handed her a vegetable stew.

"Uh-huh."

Klee took the bowl and ate the food with the hilichurls.

For hilichurls, food is probably the most important thing.

Therefore, whether it is for Klee, or for Jiang Bai, who has cooked delicious food for them twice, they have a great affection.

Seeing that they were eating so happily, Jiang Bai picked up his bowl and tasted it, the taste was average.

But even if it was simply seasoned, the food that seemed to him to be ordinary was already a top-notch delicacy for the hilichurls, who were scarce in these foods.

Each hilichurl drank the food from his bowl as if it were a treasure, and licked his bowl clean.

They cherished the toast bread that Klee had given them, and many hilichurls took a bite and put it away, reluctant to eat it again.

Jiang Bai looked at it and sighed, whether it is a human or a hilichurl, the most fundamental purpose is actually just to survive, but human beings have crossed the minimum standard of survival and have begun to pursue more things.

And these hill people living in the cold and snowy mountains are still struggling to survive.

It hadn't been long since the last time they had been here, but the number of hilichurls had dropped by three compared to the beginning.

They may have had an accident on their way to find food, or they had encountered a human adventurer, or perhaps they had encountered a more dangerous monster, but in short, they never returned.

"There's no hurry, it's still in the evening." He spoke softly, regardless of whether they understood it or not.

This time he was not in a hurry, and he could have stayed for a while longer.

Although he couldn't provide them with a better living environment, he still provided a few meals.

“mosi mita！”

The hilichurls couldn't understand Jiang Bai's words, but they could feel the feelings, and some of the hilichurls began to dance around him again.

They sang songs, surrounded Jiang Bai in the middle, and the laughter crossed the barrier of language, making the corners of Jiang Bai's mouth rise unconsciously.

When they stopped, Albedo took Jiang Bai to the innermost part of the cave.

"I found something, come with me."

The two came to the ice wall where Jiang Bai had been.

"I feel like there's something in there......"

Seeing this familiar ice wall, Jiang Bai was a little stunned for a while.

Not much different from what he had speculated the last time he had come here, and it was here that he closed his eyes and sealed himself in the thick wall of ice.

At that time, he was on the verge of death, and he could only use the low temperature of the ice to enter a state of respiration to repair his body little by little, while keeping his body active, waiting for the day of awakening.

After an unknown amount of time, the ice shattered for some reason, and he fell along with the ice that enveloped him into the water below, and flowed down the underground river into Liyue's territory.

And Bai Yuan was also picked up by the river of the snowy mountain by an adventurer who came to the snow mountain to hunt for treasure.

Like him, he fell from here into the underground river of the snow-capped mountains.

But he couldn't remember anything else on his body that was sealed in the ice.

"So that's ......" After listening to Jiang Bai's narration, Albedo thought thoughtfully.

"If you are sure that the location of the self-sealing is here, then the thing in the ice wall that I feel should be frozen with you, and it cannot be ruled out that it is not something on your body......"

"Just take it out and see it."

Bai Yuan turned into a long knife in Jiang Bai's hand, and the knife light pierced straight into the ice, and the ice surface was like tofu, without any resistance in front of Bai Yuan.

Jiang Bai took down the ice that he had cut into large squares, and after cutting four or five meters deep into the ice, he saw a broken necklace frozen in the ice.
