Chapter 981: Teyvat - Hilichurl's Soup
There is a road from Shimen all the way to Liyue Harbor. This road has been specially cleared for pedestrians to use, and there will be Thousand Rock Army guards patrolling along the way.
So if you want to encounter monsters, you have to leave this road.
The three men ran around in the mountains next to the stone gate and found a hillside that looked a little eerie.
"This is Wuwangpo..." Gojo Aiko checked the map and shook her body, "It is said that this was once a village, but it was abandoned after some supernatural incident..."
Naruto felt as if he saw something like a will-o'-the-wisp, and he was so scared that he hid behind Sasuke.
"Found it! The Hilichurl camp!" Gojo Aiko was concentrating on finding her target and soon discovered a small Hilichurl camp.
"Have they cooked?" Naruto cautiously poked his head out from behind Sasuke.
Aiko Gojo watched for a while and found that the Hilliard was kneading a fire slime and then putting the slime into the barrel...
"Sasuke! Throw a kunai and see!" Gojo Aiko instructed Sasuke to aim at the fire slime barrel.
Then with a "bang", the slime bucket exploded!
"It turns out that fire slime can be used to make explosive barrels!" Gojo Aiko suddenly realized.
"The Hilichurls are attacking! Run!" Naruto was panicked. They had been hiding behind the woods and had not been discovered, but the Hilichurls were blown away by the noise of the explosion and two of them just happened to fly in front of them.
"Ah!" The Hillichul people rushed over with sticks and torches.
"You look weak." Sasuke went forward with his knife raised.
These Hillichurls are indeed weak, and their combat power is basically the same as that of ordinary people. Of course, they are still stronger than ordinary people who have no combat power at all.
But to people with combat experience, the Hillichurls are just a little more rough and tough.
As long as you don't encounter Hillicrule thugs as tall as giants holding shields, it is basically not difficult to deal with normal-sized Hillicrule people.
Moreover, if the Hilichurls cannot be defeated, they will drop their weapons and other things and run away.
"They?" Sasuke broke the mask of one of the Hilichurls, but before he could see clearly what the face behind the mask looked like, the Hilichurl died quickly and disappeared!
"It is said that no one has ever seen what the Hilichurls look like behind their masks." Aiko Gojo heard that the Hilichurls had very scary faces, and even the Hilichurls themselves didn't want to see their own faces, so they welded the masks tightly to their faces.
"Why are there no bodies?" Naruto scratched his head. The hillbillies he fought against all escaped and none of them died.
"After death, the creatures in Teyvat will return to the earth veins, especially monsters and elemental creatures, so the visual effect is that they seem to have disappeared directly." Aiko Gojo peeked beside the soup pot in the Hilichurl camp.
"Not only that, there are some monsters and elemental creatures that you kill today, but they will reappear in the same place tomorrow, just like the monster spawning in the game."
"Is it because of that leyline?" Sasuke felt that this leyline sounded weird.
"That's right. Let's just assume that they were reborn after reincarnating in the earth veins." Gojo Aiko is not from this world, so she won't dig into these things.
"Is this soup drinkable?" Naruto also came to the soup pot and smelled it, and there was a meaty aroma.
"Huh? There are bamboo shoots?" Aiko Gojo stirred the pot with a spoon and found that there was only a little chicken and bamboo shoots in the pot. However, judging from the size of the meat, it seemed more like a wild bird than chicken.
Naruto, who hated eating dried bamboo shoots, silently took a step back.
Although the bamboo shoots cooked at home are different from those sold outside, he can eat them, but he just doesn’t like eating dried bamboo shoots in ramen.
"There must be a bamboo forest nearby. Why don't we go and dig some bamboo shoots?" Gojo Aiko thought about it and decided to bring some gifts for her friends when she went to Liyue Harbor.
"Is it really okay for us to act alone like this?" Sasuke reminded Gojo Aiko not to forget Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
"Aren't they also acting alone?" Gojo Aiko estimated that the two of them would come here on their own soon.
Moreover, Gojo Satoru always gets too excited when he is in the other world, and he doesn't really listen to instructions, so it's better to just turn a blind eye and let the two of them get into trouble on their own!
Not long after, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru came over.
"You are eating alone!" Gojo Satoru saw at a glance the iron pot surrounded by three people, and some delicious food was faintly bubbling in the pot.
"It's just been prepared, we didn't eat it alone!" Gojo Aiko grumbled dissatisfiedly, then took a spoon and scooped out a bowl of broth.
Gojo Satoru squeezed over to be the first person to drink the soup. Geto Suguru felt something was wrong, but he didn't say anything.
Gojo Satoru held the bowl and blew into it while watching the movements and expressions of others.
Aiko Gojo served everyone a bowl of soup, with a piece of meat and some bamboo shoots in each person's soup. Just in time, all the soup in the pot was shared out.
Naruto blew on the soup with such force that a few drops of soup were almost blown away.
Sasuke put the soup aside while he put out the fire.
The most important thing is Gojo Aiko, who is reading a cookbook, as if she is comparing the recipe to see if the soup she is cooking is right...
Doesn't it look like anything is wrong?
Gojo Satoru looked at Geto Suguru warily again. As a person who was forced to be a picky eater, Geto Suguru was usually the fastest eater. However, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of finishing his meal too early and having to sit there and watch others eat, he usually ate slowly and then finished quickly when everyone was about to finish.
Not to mention that the bowl of soup was still hot, so Xia Yujie put the bowl aside and studied the camp of the Hillilites.
Although he had been tricked many times and felt that there might be something wrong with this bowl of soup, Gojo Satoru couldn't resist his curiosity and became the first person to drink the soup.
As soon as Gojo Satoru took a sip of the fragrant broth, his eyes widened!
Why is this soup tasteless?
They must have forgotten to add salt!
Gojo Satoru let out a long sigh pretending to be delicious, then secretly observed the others.
Except for Geto Suguru who looked at him, the others continued to do their own things.
No reaction?
Could it be that he really just forgot to add salt and wasn't deliberately trying to trick him?
"You, you, you, what are you doing?!"
A boy's voice sounded from not far away. Gojo Satoru turned his head and saw a young man with ice-blue hair and a big sword on his back looking at them with horror.
"It's obvious that they are drinking the soup of the Hill people." A young man with blue hair strolled up to him with a book in his hand.
Gojo Satoru:...?
Hill people's soup? What does that mean? Could it be a soup made by the Hill people? ! !
