Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning
Chapter 8 The Power of the Bear
Along the way, Xiangling was introducing Ling Mengxue to the techniques of survival in the wild.
"Look, if you knew that sunset fruit is edible, you wouldn't be hungry." Xiangling took out a fruit with a strange fragrance from her arms and handed it to Ling Mengxue.
"I did see a lot of them on the roadside, but I didn't know they were edible." Ling Mengxue scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly.
"Let me teach you, a little kid who knows nothing." Xiangling was very proud. The boy in front of her was about the same height as her and looked younger than her.
"You can pick anything that glows, and, if necessary, you can even steal the food of the Hillilians. Anyway, if you get close to them, they will hit you with sticks, so it's better to strike first! Don't be soft-hearted, or you will lose your life." Xiangling continued to introduce.
"It turns out that you can steal things!" Ling Mengxue exclaimed.
"I didn't ask you to rob merchants. You can do whatever you want with monsters. They won't let us go anyway. Alas, when I first started traveling, the ingredients I had worked so hard to find were robbed by those hateful Hillbillies. Fortunately, I have Guoba." Xiangling smiled and picked up Guoba. Guoba looked very happy. Recently, he could always hear Xiangling praising him, and Guoba was very proud.
Along the way, Xiangling explained to Ling Mengxue the various creatures on Teyvat like an encyclopedia.
"Did you know? Slime is edible. I often wonder whether salt and pepper slime or cumin slime is better. It's hard to choose every day." Xiangling said with a distressed look.
"What? Slime can be eaten?!" Ling Mengxue felt very incredible. She really didn't expect that even slime could be eaten!
"Hehe, do you know a famous dish, fried slime with qingxin? That's my invention. Even Hutao praised it highly." Xiangling raised her eyebrows and showed a weird smile on her face. "How about it, do you want to try it too? I have some ingredients here."
"Stir-fried Qingxin with Slime?" Ling Mengxue swallowed. Ever since she had eaten the boiled spicy pork that Xiangling made for her last time, she had trusted Xiangling's cooking skills. Since it was Xiangling's dish, it must not be too bad.
"Haha, you must be interested, right? Let's go find slime. We are running low on ingredients." Xiangling rummaged through her pockets and spoke.
Near the afternoon, they saw an abandoned adventurer camp. There were campfires and tents, but the fire had gone out. Xiangling looked around and decided to use this place as a resting place for the time being.
"There should be a water source nearby. Please go and fetch some water so that we can light a fire and cook." Xiangling instructed.
"Okay, no problem. If I see slimes, I will kill a few of them back." Ling Mengxue replied.
"Okay, Guoba and I will go collect other ingredients and see if there are any apples, bird eggs, cabbages, etc. nearby." Xiangling waved goodbye to Ling Mengxue. They agreed to meet at the camp in half an hour.
Ling Mengxue was lucky as she met two wild boars on the road. Having experienced the experience of being knocked away last time, she was very careful this time. She followed the wild boars silently, then sprinted over and quickly fired her gun. One of the wild boars died instantly, but one of them finally became a precious food in her hands after she chased and beat it fiercely.
Ling Mengxue, who was chasing the wild boar all the way, actually saw a stream after going around in circles.
The water in this world seems to be very clear, unlike in real life, where the stream looks extremely clear, and there are many fish swimming freely in the stream.
It seemed that she could still catch a few fish. Ling Mengxue approached the school of fish cautiously, stretched out her hand to grab them, but caught nothing. The fish were frightened and scattered.
Oops, I failed. I am so clumsy.
Ling Mengxue swam slowly upstream of the stream, trying to see if she could find more fish. She had never eaten grilled fish in this world, and she felt that the grilled fish made by Xiangling must be delicious. At the thought of this, she couldn't help but drool.
Ling Mengxue suppressed the urge to eat grilled fish and saw a very strange flower. There was a thin white mist emanating from around it. It seemed that this was the ice mist flower that Xiangling had mentioned.
"Ice mist flowers are also very useful ingredients. Pick them if you see them." Ling Mengxue remembered Xiangling saying this.
She held the spear and approached the strange ice flower. It didn't seem to be dangerous. She picked up the spear and poked it hard, but nothing happened and she couldn't pick the ice flower successfully.
What went wrong? Why not try using fire? Everything has its own restraint. Since it is called Ice Mist Flower, it should be afraid of fire. Thinking of this, Ling Mengxue silently said in her heart: "Burn, my little universe."
Fortunately, the tip of the spear ignited a ball of sparks. Ling Mengxue nodded with satisfaction, "Take my shot." She raised her spear and swept it across the ice mist flower again. Sure enough, the ice mist flower that was hit by the gun finally reacted this time. Soon, a round ice mist flower fruit fell down. This should be the useful ingredient that Xiangling mentioned.
After picking up the fruits of the ice mist flower, Ling Mengxue took the kettle given to her by Xiangling, filled it with water, and continued to look for other ingredients in the north.
Ling Mengxue, who had killed a few slimes along the way, was ready to return with her pockets full. It turned out that there were so many things that could be collected in this world, such as mint, sweet flowers, and no matter what it was, as long as it could be picked, she picked them all and cleared out all the places she went.
Ling Mengxue, who was humming a little tune and walking back happily, soon ran into big trouble. She met a group of Hilichurls. They would have been fine if they were just ordinary Hilichurls, but looking at the big guy in front of him holding a long-handled axe, she knew that this guy was not easy to deal with!
"Roar" the big guy quickly discovered her and rushed towards her waving the huge axe in his hand.
"Oh my god!" Ling Mengxue was so scared that she quickly dodged and put away her backpack. She couldn't just leave the ingredients she had collected with great difficulty to them. Xiangling was right. These monsters were not good guys. They really rushed towards her waving their weapons as soon as they saw her.
Soon Ling Mengxue was in a tough fight. She had to dodge the axe of the big guy and was chased by other hillbillies holding wooden sticks. She looked very embarrassed. She had no choice but to run away. It was because she was not good enough. Although she had seen Xiao's strength, she was still a little useless. Xiangling also used a gun. She could beat down a group of hillbillies. She must be very strong.
While imagining what Xiao would look like when fighting, Ling Mengxue smiled bitterly in her heart. At this moment, she really wanted to see that cold-faced immortal. As long as he was there, she would definitely be saved.
"Guoba! Breathing fire!" Ling Mengxue suddenly saw Xiangling jumping down from a high place in the distance and picking up a hillman. She felt that she must be saved now!
"See the master's marksmanship!" Xiangling rushed directly towards the biggest guy, and Ling Mengxue followed quickly. Guoba's mouth kept spewing out scorching flames, roasting the hillbillies and making them cry out. Xiangling directed Guoba to spit fire in an orderly manner, and Ling Mengxue assisted from the side. Finally, with the efforts of the two people and the bear, the big guy finally fell down.
"It's really not easy." Ling Mengxue wiped the sweat from her head. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat.
"Huff." Xiangling seemed to be very tired, but she looked very happy: "The spearmanship that Master taught me is very powerful, right? If you want to learn it, I can teach you! But speaking of this... it would be great if you are willing to learn cooking from me! These skills and recipes of mine should be spread far and wide."
"I am willing to learn how to use a gun. So far, I have only seen Xiao's gun skills. I didn't expect that Xiangling can also use a gun. Besides, your cooking skills and gun skills are so good, of course I want to learn!" How could Ling Mengxue miss such a good opportunity? She could actually learn Xiangling's cooking skills and gun skills. This was an unattainable benefit.
"Xiao? Who is that? Is he good with a gun?" Xiangling asked with her head tilted. She knew Hu Tao, that annoying guy who was a good gunner like her, but her gun skills were learned from the master. Although she was not as good as Hu Tao, she was not much worse. She had never heard of anyone else in Liyue who was good with a gun except Hu Tao and that old antique Zhongli. It might be a master she didn't know. Since Ling Mengxue said so, it must be him. She really liked this white-haired boy. He followed her around every day and asked her questions. It felt like she was traveling with her younger brother.
"He was the first person I met when I arrived in Liyue, but..." Thinking of her tragic death, Ling Mengxue hesitated to speak, "Anyway, his marksmanship is very powerful! And he was a man like the wind, appearing and disappearing silently every time." Ling Mengxue spread her hands when she thought of Xiao's appearance every time.
"Ah, is he a guy like Walnut who likes to scare people?" Xiangling asked.
"You know Hu Tao?" Ling Mengxue asked in surprise. "I was severely bullied by that little girl named Hu Tao!" Thinking of her own Mora, Ling Mengxue felt a pang of heartache.
"Well, you have also been bullied by Hu Tao? She always hides behind me when I'm not paying attention, and then suddenly pats my back. She even laughs when she succeeds, huh. But I am magnanimous, and I don't make a fuss with her because she always brings me stuffed plum blossoms and thread flower cakes." Xiangling thought of Hu Tao's face with a weird smile. Every time, she would suddenly jump out and pat her back when she wasn't paying attention, which always scared her to jump up. Moreover, Hu Tao liked to tell her ghost stories at night, and she always described them vividly. Obviously, she was most afraid of these things!
