Chapter 19: The First Try
The two quickened their pace, and finally arrived at the stone gate just before sunset.
"The Thousand Rocks are firm and unmovable, two, this is the stronghold of the Shimen Thousand Rock Army, please accept the inspection!"
As a pass connecting Liyue and Mondstadt, the Stone Gate was naturally garrisoned by the Millelith Army.
The two approached Shimen and soon received inquiries from the Millelith Army.
"Please tell me your name, where you are from, and why you are here!"
Familiar question, Wang Daoyi still remembers, when he broke away from the Treasure Hoarders, he also received such an inquiry.
"I'm Xiangling, the chef of Wanmin Tang, and the owner of the Liyue Pier Tea House, Daoyi Wang, and we're here from Liyue Harbor to have an adventure in Mondstadt!"
Recalling the past experience, Xiangling had already informed the Millelith Army of the information about the two.
After a brief inspection, Millelith, who was guarding the door, nodded and indicated that the verification was complete.
"You two can enter the camp, there is a teahouse in the camp, you can rest assured."
Shimen's camp was much larger than the camp of the Guili Millelith Army that Wang Daoyi had visited, and when the two entered the camp, they found that many people were already resting in the camp.
In addition to the garrison set up by the Millelith Army, many merchants also set up shop here, most of which were inns and teahouses, which served the merchants who came and went.
The crowd was bustling and lively.
And the most lively place is the bulletin board of Shimen, where a large number of people gather under the bulletin board, either to discuss the news, or to prepare to release the news.
The stone gate bulletin board, announcements and guests, everyone can leave a message here, a large number of notes posted here.
At the top of the bulletin board, the announcement of the Millelith Army is prominently pasted.
[Recently, due to the Mondstadt Dragon disaster, a large number of hilichurls have appeared near Shimen, please do not stay away from the main road when you are on your way to avoid being attacked by hilichurls!] ]
[Recently, the activities of monsters in the area of Shimen and Dihuazhou have been more frequent, and the Millelith Army has increased the frequency of patrols, hoping that passing merchants will pay attention to safety and enter and exit safely. If you find a monster, please inform the Millelith as soon as possible! ]
Two pieces of news about the monster were posted in the most conspicuous place, informing everyone that the nearest stone gate was not in peace.
Below, there are advertisements for some shops and information about caravans.
Casually glanced at the two pinned messages, not paying attention.
Passing through the flow of people, Wang Daoyi and Xiangling walked into an inn.
The inn is not big, but it is better to be clean, the two are very satisfied with the environment here, and after eating some dinner casually, the two go back to their rooms to rest.
Maybe it was the three days of rushing, Wang Dao, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes, and immediately felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Outside the stone gate, a group of hilichurls affected by the wreaking havoc of the Stormdemon began to gather under the influence of some mysterious power.
Hundreds of hilichurls surrounded each other to form a huge circle, and in the middle of the circle, a hilichurl thug who was much larger than the average hilichurl mob was undergoing some mysterious ritual.
Beside the hilichurl mob, several mysterious creatures with rabbit ears surrounded it, chanting some evil incantation.
If Wang Dao is here, he will recognize that this is the Abyss Mage.
Behind the Abyss Mage, there are dozens of hilichurl shamans, all of whom together wield a giant shamanic scepter.
With the cooperation of the Abyss Mage and the Hilichurl Shaman, a mysterious ritual manifests beneath the hilichurl mob.
A large amount of leyline energy was extracted, and it frantically poured into the body of the hilichurl mob.
"Roaring !!!"
The hilichurl mob let out a roar of pain.
The body, which was already larger than the usual hilichurl thug, began to swell rapidly,
Thunder, water, rock, fire, and the four elements began to condense in it.
Perhaps because of its proximity to Liyue, the originally balanced four elements quickly clashed.
The golden brilliance representing the rock elemental was instantaneous victorious, enveloping the hilichurl mob's body.
“Sada!! (Hilichurl, solid, tough, strong.) With a roar of joy, the elemental light dissipated, and a huge 5-meter-tall hilichurl rock helmet king appeared in the middle of the ritual.
Seeing that the powerful Hilichurl Helmet King had been successfully created, the Abyss Mage led by him let out a hoarse laugh: "Heheheha, go ahead, Go, Go, Hilichurl Helm King, let the stupid humans see your power." ”
“kundala! (Hilichurl, defeat, attack, hit.) Hearing the words of the Abyss Mage, the Hilichurl Rock Helm King let out a loud roar, and the next moment, hundreds of hilichurls around him shouted together.
“Yaya ika kundala!! (hilichurl language, fight the bad guy)"
Led by the Rock Helm King, a group of hilichurls marched towards the Stone Gate, ready to show humanity their power.
Late at night, Wang Daoyi woke up from his dream and seemed to hear an alarm.
In the house, as soon as Wang Daoyi got dressed, he was about to open the door and go out to see what was going on, but he saw Xiangling rushing in from the outside.
"Brother Dao." Xiangling's face was anxious, and she was still holding a spear in her hand, "There are monsters attacking Shimen, the main force of the Millelith Army has gone out on patrol, we have to help!" ”
Wang Dao nodded slightly, and with a casual move, a magic weapon flew out of the package and levitated in front of him.
This is a jade magic ball, a gift from Xingqiu, this magic weapon has a good increase in the user's elemental mastery, which is suitable for the current use of Wang Daoyi.
and Xiangling rushed to the gate of the camp, and many people who were not from the Millelith Army had joined the battle, making the situation much better, and Xiangling saw this and immediately joined the battlefield.
The fiery fire elemental condensed at the head of the spear, and the spear danced, and a hilichurl was picked out, and the fire elemental ignited on the hilichurl, and before it could hit the ground, it burned the hilichurl into a charred body.
But the next moment, a hilichurl thug raised his axe high and slashed at her.
"When I don't exist! Edict Shield. ”
Seeing that the giant axe hilichurl thug wanted to attack Xiangling, Wang Dao snorted coldly, and the jade magic ball beside him rotated rapidly.
A bright yellow shield appeared on Xiangling's body, blocking the hilichurl thug's giant axe.
"Thank you, Brother Dao!" Not at all intimidated by the attack of the hilichurl thugs, Xiangling returned her horse pistol, and the fiery head of the spear pierced into the body of the hilichurl thug, and by the way, she also said thank you to Wang Daoyi, and then continued to fight.
Ignoring Xiangling's thanks, and adding a shield to her, Wang Daoyi set his eyes on the huge hilichurls who were raging in the field.
[This is, Hilichurl Rock Helm King!] 】
The huge body, just like the tank of the land king in the previous life, made the earth tremble with every step, and arrows flew on its armor, but there were no wounds, and it could not break through the defense at all.
With a wave of his hand, the Hilichurl Helm King flew several people, neither the well-trained Millelith nor the seasoned adventurers could stop its advance.
In Liyue, if anyone discovers such a powerful monster, it is usually reported to the Millelith Army, and the senior generals of the Millelith Army lead the crusade against them, but now, there is no such level in the camp, and there are even some Millelith who have gone out on patrol and have not returned.
The Rock Helm King raised his head and roared, the sound was deafening, and then he slammed the ground, and countless thorns bloomed around the Rock Helm King like flowers, and several Millelith troops were knocked out and fell to the ground.
Wang Dao thought as soon as he moved, and a rock spear shot out sharply, hitting the Rock Helmet King, blocking the fist that the Rock Helmet King was about to smash down for the second time.
"I'll leave it to me, and you guys will deal with the other hilichurls first!"
It can be seen that in front of the hilichurl rock helm king is the most elite Millelith army team in the camp, even if their companions are knocked away, they have no intention of retreating.
The commander of the Millelith Army, armed with a spear, glanced at Wang Daoyi and recognized the Vision of God at his waist.
"Stand back and give up the place to this little brother." beckoned the rest of the Millelith Army to retreat, "Little brother, we have already signaled, as long as we hold on, there will be reinforcements soon." ”
Wang Dao nodded, and when he raised his hand, several rock spears flew out, pulling the hilly rock helmet king away.
