Chapter 680: First Entry into Sumeru
There aren't many things that can change now, and they can only become something they are more familiar with.
For example, ducks, fish, and birds in the sky often appear.
If you want to change other things, you can only slowly rely on yourself to familiarize yourself with it.
"Can you turn back into a slime?"
"Goo!"
Gollum spun around in a circle, turning directly into an inconspicuous little water slime.
"It's evolved, but the original traits are still there, which is a good thing."
"Goo~"
Slimes are everywhere and are not eye-catching.
The appearance of the water elf is still a little dazzling, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people with ulterior motives.
If it is dangerous, it can directly turn into a water slime and hide from the world.
With the rules of survival in the human world prepared by it, Gollum can go out and play freely.
"Alright, Goo-dong, let's go back."
Gollum nodded, floating beside him happily, giving Jiang Bai the feeling that Paimon was following him.
Jiang Bai taught it the rules of survival as he walked.
"The first rule of survival, don't use your abilities in front of people and pretend to be just an ordinary water elf. In this way, you can avoid being targeted by the bad guys to the greatest extent......"
"You've been caught once, so keep this in mind, you know?"
Gollum nodded solemnly.
It doesn't want to be sold to the auction house again!
"The second rule of life is that you can't just eat the food that others give.
"Some bad people will use food to coax children, and after eating it, they will be unconscious, and you can only be slaughtered......"
When Gu Dong thought of this scene, he quickly shook his head, indicating that he remembered it.
Jiang Bai finished a series of survival rules, and finally said:
"I'll make a small scarf for you when the time comes, draw the logo and name of the Afterlife, you usually wear it around your neck, and if you get lost when you go out to play, show passers-by the words on the scarf and ask them to send you back to the Afterlife......"
If something is hung up, it means that the little guy has the owner, and ordinary people will not fight its idea.
Gollum nodded, and it remembered.
On the morning of the third day, Jiang Bai and Sora, who were ready to go, met at the gate of the Hall of Death.
"Hall Master, remember to send me a message when you have time!"
Jiang Bai reluctantly hugged Hu Tao, obviously he was just going out for a while, and he could even come back at any time, but he still felt reluctant.
He stood with his empty hands on his chest and slurred twice.
"People in love~"
Paimon snorted as he learned his movements.
"People in love~"
Gollum, who was floating on the side, watched the movements of the two and followed their appearance, two small wing-like hands together.
"Goo~"
Jiang Bai gave Sora and Paimon a brain crash.
"What's wrong with me behind your back? Don't spoil my Gollum. ”
Paimon puffed up: "I didn't say anything bad about you, I don't believe you asked Gollum!" ”
Although he was surprised by Gollum's transformation into a water spirit, after getting used to it for a while, Paimon accepted it well.
After all, anything can happen to Teyvat, and a slime has evolved, so there's no need to make a fuss.
Gollum nodded and testified to Paimon that he didn't say anything bad.
Kong looked at Jiang Bai playfully, "If you are so reluctant, just don't forget it." ”
"What do you know about a single dog? Let's go! ”
Hu Tao waved at them, watching them disappear at the end of the road.
This time, I went far away, and it is estimated that we will not be able to meet until half a month later.
……
Most people go to Sumeru by two paths, one is through the rather flat slope above the valley, and the other is directly through the Chasm.
Most caravans will choose the first route, as it is flat and suitable for large groups.
Needless to say, the terrain of the Strata Chasm is closer, but the difficulty of trying to pass through it is also skyrocketing.
Jiang Bai and the three of them naturally didn't need to make any choices, just choose the nearest road.
Teleported directly to the Chasm, found an absentee to ask for directions, and soon found the road to Sumeru.
Walking through a long underground cavern, Jiang Bai already felt a noticeable difference from Liyue before he could get out.
The vegetation here is exceptionally lush, the air is unusually humid, and there are large fields of mushrooms growing in the caves.
Huge roots burst out of the ground and went straight across the cave, and vines twisted upward, even blooming small purple flowers.
Paimon was excited, "Wow, I already feel like Sumeru." ”
Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You've been here before?" ”
"As the best guide in Teyvat, is this a basic skill?"
"You're self-appointed, aren't you?"
Paimon cocked his head, "Sora, you just say I'm the best guide!" ”
"Yes, yes, Paimon is the best guide."
Hearing Sora praise him like this, Paimon puffed up his chest, and suddenly became proud.
"Did you hear that? I am the best guide! ”
"Then the best guide, please lead the way."
Paimon kept his pride and flew out of the hole.
Coming out of the cave, the whole world is completely different from Liyue.
Huge and lush plants are everywhere, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
There were strange creatures that looked like mushrooms, boars with mushrooms on their backs running around, and herds of mounds sleeping in the grass at will.
It's hard to imagine that in the distant past, this would have been a desert.
Gollum looked at these things that he had never seen before.
This kind of rainforest scene is something it has never seen before in Liyue.
"Wow!"
Paimon flew into the air excitedly, breathing loudly into the air that belonged to Sumeru.
After enjoying for a while, he finally remembered the identity of his guide and flew back.
"If I'm not mistaken, I'll be a little further on to Huachengguo."
Jiang Bai looked at the Sumeru map he bought and nodded.
"You're not mistaken."
With their footsteps, getting to the nearest town before dark was not a problem at all.
In this way, there is no hurry to travel.
"Our good guide, what's that thing over there that looks like a mushroom and moves?"
"Well, that's a mushroom. It is a monster unique to Sumeru. ”
"Monsters?" Jiang Bai felt that this little thing looked quite chic.
"Can you eat it?"
“! You want to eat a mushroom! ”
"What? You've eaten slimes, haven't you eaten mushrooms? ”
Paimon glanced at Gollum next to him, a little embarrassed.
Gollum doesn't care, a slime without intelligence is like a wild boar on the side of the road, no different.
"It's either that I can't eat it, or I've heard that it's hard to eat......"
"You say that, I really want to taste what it tastes like. You're right, Sora? ”
Nodding his head, he was also curious about what this mushroom beast tasted like.
