Jiang Bai and Hu Tao glided all the way across the Bishui River and landed on the mountain of Cuijuepo.
There are many shrubs in the mountains, and golden thatch is everywhere in autumn.
Hutao put away the wings of the wind, identified the direction, and led Jiang Bai forward.
The mountains and forests are no better than the plains. Although there are roads built, they are still steep and difficult to navigate, and the vegetation in the mountains and forests is dense, which can easily hide monsters. Therefore, few Liyue people go deep into the mountains unless necessary.
"With our pace, we should be able to reach Jueyunjian when it gets dark, camp there for a night's rest, and then continue our journey the next day."
"good."
While walking along the road, Jiang Bai chatted with Hu Tao.
"Master, are there many immortals like Mandrill in Liyue?" He was still very curious about Mandrill's story, but some questions were not suitable to be asked in front of him.
But he suddenly remembered something. If calling him by his name would be heard, would he also be heard speaking ill of him?
Jiang Bai immediately gave up the idea of complaining about this immortal.
He couldn't afford to offend that evil spirit.
"There used to be many immortals, but as time went by, the immortals gradually passed away, sacrificed themselves, and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests... Nowadays, the immortals who are still alive are quite rare, and most of them live in seclusion in the mountains and do not care about worldly affairs, and rarely interact with the human world...
....”
"Will there be immortals living in seclusion in Liyue Port?" If he understood correctly, Mandrill should be considered living in seclusion at Wangshu Inn, right?
"I don't know about this. If the Immortal wants to hide in the city, we can't find it. But it's not absolute. There are still many Immortal bloodlines passed down in Liyue Port. If you see something on your head,
Those with animal ears or tails are probably a mixture of humans and immortals..."
"Eh? Are there actually mixed-race people?" Jiang Bai said that he had learned a lot.
But why are there animal ears and animal tails? Could it be said that all immortals are animal-shaped? That is why the offspring they give birth to will have animal-like characteristics?
But if it were an animal, wouldn't there be reproductive isolation?
"You don't know much about this!" Hutao looked like you didn't know anything about it.
"Do you know what our emperor's true form is?"
"What is it?"
"The body of our emperor is a rock dragon!"
"So that's it..." Jiang Bai looked like he suddenly realized, "Does the emperor have any descendants? Is it a dragon horn or a dragon tail?"
Hu Tao rolled her eyes at him, "The emperor has no descendants."
"As far as I know, none of the gods have descendants."
"Then why is this? Can there be no mother's body to give birth to the children of gods? What if gods and gods combine? Can children be born?" Jiang Bai's topic unknowingly went to the edge of the horizon.
"You are disrespecting the gods! Be careful, I will teach you a lesson!" Hu Tao crossed her arms over her chest, the little ghost came out of her body, Jie Jie smiled strangely, as if she wanted to look good to Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai put his head in his hands and slipped away.
Seeing Jiang Bai running away, Hu Tao shrugged helplessly.
This question was asked in front of her. If asked in front of Mandrill, Jiang Bai would be dead and dismembered in the next second.
Jiang Bai sped forward and distanced himself from Hu Tao.
If you can't afford to offend him, you can still afford to hide.
"La la la, I'm an expert at selling newspapers..." He hummed a strange song that came out of his head.
From time to time, I would climb to the tree on the side of the mountain to pick two fruits, or grab a sweet flower. From time to time, I would run after a lizard, just like a husky having fun, trying to have fun.
Looking at him, Hu Tao behind him had a look of disgust on his face, like that of an old man on the subway with his cell phone.
"Do you think he is an adult?"
She had some doubts about Jiang Bai's true age.
The little ghost on the shoulder shook his head blankly. It was just a little ghost. What could it know?
"The last time I chased a lizard was a few years ago..." Hu Tao expressed disdain for Jiang Bai's childish behavior.
"Master, I saw a huge lizard!" Jiang Bai, who had jumped to nowhere, suddenly appeared.
Hu Tao's eyes lit up, "Really? Really! Where is it!"
She completely put aside her disdain for Jiang Bai and went to find the big lizard with great interest.
The little ghost tilted his head in confusion, revealing a big question mark.
"Look, the huge lizard!" Jiang Bai hid behind the stone and pointed at the dragon lizard digging the stone from a distance.
Hu Tao silently hit the back of his head, and the hard skull made a banging sound.
"This is a young rock dragon lizard, not a lizard."
"Dragon lizard? Isn't that still a lizard?" Jiang Bai covered the place where he was knocked, very innocently.
Dragon lizard, dragon lizard, do you think adding the word "dragon" means it's not a lizard?
Hutao felt a little headache, "These are two completely different creatures, do you understand?"
"oh....."
"It's blocking our way, should we kill it?" Jiang Bai's hand appeared to persuade people with reason.
I don’t know if the meat of this dragon lizard is edible. If possible, take a portion back and let Xiang Ling try it.
"You go ahead, I'll cheer you on." Hutao patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to come on.
This young rock dragon lizard is very fast, and its carapace is extremely hard. She doesn't like to fight this kind of monster, so she wants to fight Jiang Bai himself.
"Master, I'm going!"
Jiang Bai carried the reason to convince others and rushed forward.
Hutao sat cross-legged on the stone and took out a handful of melon seeds.
The young rock dragon lizard was originally just polishing its claws. When it heard the sound, it turned its head and immediately aimed its gaze at Jiang Bai.
It curled up its body and rolled itself into a ball. It was not afraid of the cold and huge mace in Jiang Bai's hand and rushed towards him quickly.
"Ouch~" Seeing the young rock dragon lizard rushing towards him, Jiang Bai let out a weird cry and jumped away quickly.
It is indeed a monster. If it were hit, it would probably be knocked away!
The dragon lizard's collision failed, but it did not stop. It turned around and rushed towards Jiang Bai again.
Jiang Bai dodged left and right, carrying his weapon and playing hide-and-seek with the young rock dragon lizard.
The dragon lizard, which had been unable to hit anyone, was angered by him. He roared, jumped up with his whole body, formed a ball, and smashed towards Jiang Bai.
"I hide~"
"I'll hide again~"
Jiang Bai jumped around, but the dragon lizard didn't even touch him with the stones that fell to the ground.
The dragon lizard became even more angry, stretched out its body and got into the soil three or two times, and then suddenly emerged from the ground where Jiang Bai was standing.
Jiang Bai had been paying attention to what was going on underground. When he saw the dragon lizard coming out, a shield appeared on his body. Not only did the dragon lizard not hurt Jiang Bai at all, but he was bounced away.
"Hehehe, now it's my turn to fight back..." Jiang Bai carried the mace and smiled particularly sinisterly.
"This rock shield is so useful, why don't I have this ability?" Hutao, who was eating melon seeds on the side, expressed envy of Jiang Bai's shield.
With this shield, she doesn't need any physical skills, she can just be reckless.
