Chapter 113: Body... It's like burning...
Anping quickly returned to normal after drinking Albedo's neutralizing potion, because the situation just now made him stand upside down and his hairstyle was a little fluffy.
"Are you alright?"
Paimon looked worriedly at An Ping, whose expression was distorted.
He hadn't looked so in pain before he had drunk the second bottle of potion.
"There's nothing wrong with my body, but... It's so unpleasant! It felt like drinking the juice squeezed out of the tentacles of a strange octopus, and it felt like it was being scratched by tentacles from my throat to my stomach."
Liyue was notoriously bitter and unsure of the nausea that the medicine didn't come from, and Anping gulped the snow and tried to get rid of the remaining taste in his mouth.
"What the hell does that smell like?"
Paimon's expression grew terrified just by hearing Anping's description, and she decided not to eat Albedo's things anymore...
"By the way, Albedo, is this the same thing you just drank?"
Ying saw Albedo drink it first, and it was precisely because of this that Anping took a bottle and drank it without hesitation.
"Well, just to confirm the safety of the potion. In fact, if everything is normal, there will only be temporary discomfort, but there is no harm to the body... And if there is a barrier to the flow of elements in the body, it can also be used to detect it."
Albedo picked up the last bottle of potion and handed it to Ying.
You shouldn't be talkative...
Seeing Anping's tragic situation, it is difficult for Ying to drink this bottle of medicine with peace of mind now.
Although she should be very different from Anping.
After all, Anping is actually a native of Teyvat, but about the soul crossing, including the heartbeat that Anping heard on the snowy mountain, they all tacitly did not mention it in front of Albedo.
"What does this potion do?"
Ying felt that at least ask clearly, she couldn't drink it like Anping.
"It's just a potion, which tests the flow of elements through the body."
"That means that if the elemental power doesn't flow in the body, there will be no problem like you, right?"
"That's right."
After receiving Albedo's confirmation, Ying finally accepted Albedo's hand and drank the potion in one gulp.
Sure enough, there was no reward for nothing...
"How do you feel?"
"Body... It's like it's burning..."
Ying felt as if her body was on fire in a physical sense, and there was a burning pain in her limbs.
"You can't have drunk something strange for Ying, right?!"
Hearing Ying's description after drinking the potion, Anping looked at Albedo viciously, and then he was stabbed by Ying's head.
"I mean like drinking lava."
"I'm sorry."
"This is the most normal of all possibilities, and it is a result to be happy about. You just need to endure the discomfort for a short time and wait for the flow of elemental power to finish, and there will be no other effects."
Albedo didn't care about Anping's misunderstanding.
Or should I say that he didn't misunderstand the meaning of Ying's words.
Looking at Ying's reaction was also very normal, An Ping couldn't help but wonder who was wearing it from another world.
Why he, a half-native, reacted the most violently.
"Anyway, next time, let's cooperate with such an experiment, at least say it first..."
Anping complained to Albedo.
"Before I could say anything, you drank it."
「… Mine."
"Let's eat first, or the food will be cold."
Albedo beckoned them to sit down and eat.
But now even Paimon was a little hesitant to look at the delicious dishes.
Wouldn't there be any strange things added to this drawn dish to test?
"Don't worry, I'll ask you for your opinion first, even if I want to do any experiments
See, this time it was just an accident."
Listening to Albedo's explanation, Anping and the others finally dispelled their doubts.
After the meal, continue to the mountain.
An Ping carried the wooden sword and kept trying to start cutting from the grass, and he didn't even dare to use too much force, for fear of breaking the wooden sword.
He couldn't figure out what it took to use a wooden sword to inflict lethality.
If it weren't for the sword marks on the carved wooden stakes, An Ping wouldn't have believed it.
Encountering a wave of hilichurls on the way, Anping himself seduced one to practice on the side, and although he was only allowed to use a wooden sword, he was playing with hilichurls the whole time, but he didn't cause any damage at all.
The wooden sword poked at the thick skin of the hilichurl was no different from tickling.
Ying carried the magic sword and settled the battle in three or two clicks, and Anping was still scraping the hilichurls.
"So you completely forgot how to gather strength when you switched to wood?"
Ying finally couldn't help but point out to him.
"I haven't forgotten that... But..."
An Ping exerted his strength, and sure enough, the wooden sword broke from the fragile hilt of the hillichurl before it could poke the hilichurl, and he dodged the hilichurl's counterattack and looked at Ying embarrassedly.
Metal could withstand his strength, but wood couldn't.
"I'll give you another half an hour of practice, and then the sword."
Ying threw a wooden sword to An Ping again.
"Remember why the sword broke just now, and then go and seek a breakthrough."
Isn't the reason why the sword broke because the material was too poor?
Even if Ying gave guidance again, Anping had not yet reached the critical point of breakthrough, and he couldn't understand how to use a wooden sword to break the enemy.
Anping was engaged in a battle with the hilichurls, and seized the opportunity to poke a sword again, but this time he was blocked by the hilichurls with a stone shield.
An Ping, who was concentrating on sword practice, didn't notice anything strange, and Ying didn't care about such a trivial matter.
Only Albedo, who was painting, noticed that the hilichurl was growing.
Although this kind of growth is minimal, it is only aware of the constant repetition of moves during Anping's practice, but this is already a very rare growth for hilichurls with low intelligence.
Albedo saw the unusual tension of life in the hilichurl.
This represents the evolution of this hilichurl.
Albedo even believed that if he could feed the hilichurl for a long time, then it might not be impossible to train him to become a master of swordsmanship.
The hilichurls in the snowy mountains are more intelligent and endurant than those in other places, and this is also influenced by the remains of Dulin buried under the snowy mountains?
Anping, who had made no progress compared to the hilichurls, was a little impatient.
If it goes on like this, let alone half an hour, even if he is given another half a month, or even half a year, he will not make any progress.
Fortunately, he hadn't realized that the hilichurls he was fighting against had made progress, otherwise he would have been damaging his Dao heart.
"Stop, it's time for us to go."
Ying could see that An Ping's mentality was already a little unbalanced, and there was no thought of him in the sword at all, so if he continued like this, he was just swinging the sword repeatedly, and there was no practice at all, let alone growth.
She had to wake up Anping.
