The situation was critical!
Seeing that the retreat path down the steep slope was about to be surrounded by other Hilichurl, Jiang Yi's mind raced.
He ducked behind a tree, dodging a crossbow bolt that whistled through the air, and several thrown stones.
He recalled that last night's daily quest was precisely Hilichurl language communication.
When he had nothing to do, he had watched videos and learned one or two pronunciations!
His expression hardened, and he made up his mind, embracing the idea of treating a dead horse as if it were alive.
He poked his head out, revealing a friendly smile.
"Ya yika!"
His pronunciation was not quite standard, with an English accent!
The Hilichurl froze.
Jiang Yi thought it had worked and pressed on.
"Nini zido!"
Silence… It seemed a crow cawed as it flew by.
He felt uneasy, sensing that the Hilichurl's gazes were becoming increasingly wrong.
Did he say it wrong?
Jiang Yi picked up a branch the length of his arm.
This was like memorizing English words; after making a mistake once, he couldn't distinguish which was correct, and after much hesitation, he wrote down the wrong one during the test.
"Biadam!" (Go to hell!)
An unprecedentedly fierce tone responded to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi secretly thought, "Not good!" He protected his head with his left hand, leaped down the steep slope, wildly swung the branch in his right hand, and felt power surge through his body again, running quickly.
He brushed past several Hilichurl.
A stone hit his back, and a wooden club struck his arm.
A crossbow bolt, thanks to his serpentine movement and cover from trees, shot into the soil.
He was somewhat relieved that this was not an open area.
A dendro slime blinked its eyes and flew into the air; it was thrown by a Wooden Shieldwall Mitachurl, far and accurate.
With a bang,
it exploded!
Green mist with glowing particles spread in a circular shape.
Jiang Yi rolled and crawled, dropping the branch that had hooked onto a tree, covering his ears, and trying his best to hide behind the thickest tree nearby.
His whole body was burning, as if he had encountered a grenade.
His body was bruised, swollen, and also suffering from the concentrated element energy that was toxic to ordinary people.
Knowing the Teyvat setting, Jiang Yi endured the pain, reassuring himself that it wasn't a big problem; as long as he wasn't exposed to concentrated elements for a long time, the element energy toxins from the attack were not fatal.
His injuries could be healed if he found someone, a healer with a Vision.
He stumbled along.
Perhaps to enjoy the freshly cooked breakfast, the Hilichurl did not pursue him relentlessly.
After more than ten minutes, Jiang Yi finally escaped the Hilichurl's hatred range.
Sweat poured down him, blood surged, and his Vision blurred.
His lungs burned, and his legs felt as heavy as lead.
A small pool of water appeared before his eyes, with several plants on the bank with lush green leaves, swollen white flower buds, and orange-red petals at the top.
In the pool, there were also lively Black Bass that looked mouth-watering.
"dendro slime!"
"Black Bass!"
Jiang Yi swallowed, his eyes like a wolf's, glowing green.
Hunger and exhaustion made his face pale, visibly losing fat and becoming emaciated.
His painful wounds cried out!
After intense physical activity, his entire body desperately needed nutritional replenishment.
With a splash, he jumped into the water, trying to catch fish like in the game.
His slow dog paddle disturbed the Black Bass, causing them to flick their tails and easily avoid Jiang Yi's hands.
In less than three minutes, Jiang Yi couldn't hold on, feeling that he was starving and dizzy.
He had made such a wrong decision!
After gulping down the tasteless fish soup of Teyvat's lake water, he scrambled back to the shore before he drowned himself.
"Forget it, I'll just consider it a bath!"
Sitting on the ground, soaking wet, Jiang Yi stared blankly at the Sky, licking his lips.
His dry, saliva-deprived mouth was moistened by the water.
His abdomen rumbled, and the water in his stomach was quickly absorbed, replenishing the moisture lost from running.
His stomach, hungry, rumbled again.
Without a fishing rod or fire, he couldn't catch fish or roast meat, and he drooled at the feast in the lake.
Nearby, the terrain was undulating, and the forest was dense, making it seem like he wouldn't find a way out anytime soon.
Temporarily safe, Jiang Yi couldn't help but look at the plump-looking dendro slime beside him.
"I remember this thing is edible, right!" he pondered, recalling that most plant Materials in the game seemed to be edible and could be used for cooking.
He grabbed a dendro slime with his right hand, pulled it out by the roots, washed it slightly, and put it into his mouth.
His brows furrowed.
An astringent and bitter taste exploded, reminding him of the torture of licking tomato skin and biting bitter gourd.
However, after chewing for a moment, he could feel a hint of sweetness and a pleasant aftertaste.
Jiang Yi ate one plant and felt even hungrier.
He stood up, circled the pond, pulling up and eating one dendro slime after another, his eyes darting around the surrounding forest for Sunsettia.
Slightly satiated, he drank some more water.
"I hope Teyvat doesn't have parasites and I won't get diarrhea!" Jiang Yi rubbed his stomach, preparing to rest for a while, then move to another location to check if he could find a path and people.
His head felt a bit groggy, and he lay on the ground and fell asleep.
His body alternated between hot and cold, and his body, which had been attacked by dendro element, became a bit off after being soaked in water.
His immune System dutifully attacked the element energy in his body, and a cold, fever, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea took turns…
This directly woke up Jiang Yi, who was having a nightmare.
He squatted in the grass, almost paralyzed.
This unusual body after Transmigration was telling him that today, either the host or the element energy had to die.
Oh my god!
What kind of trash Golden Finger!
Jiang Yi didn't know how many times he felt his spirit collapse.
From meeting the Hilichurl until now, he had prayed to gods and Buddhas, wishing he could go home immediately.
What kind of plot characters, what kind of plot wives, he wasn't familiar with them at all!
Without the game's friendship, he would be socially anxious even if he met them, and couldn't flirt at all.
He was not Aether or Lumine after all.
His left hand drooped slightly, and he emerged from the smelly grass, looking exhausted.
When he was escaping, he protected his head with his left hand, which was hit by a Hilichurl's wooden club.
Now, it was bruised and difficult to move, and he didn't know if it was fractured.
However, after half a day of feeling worse than death, many of his symptoms subsided, and his body felt much better.
It was just that he was hungry again!
It seemed that all the mystique relied on this stomach to replenish energy.
He ate a few more dendro slime, took a straight wooden stick, and left the pond.
His will to survive kept him from giving up, and he cautiously explored the surroundings.
During this time, he saw a lot of cooking smoke rising from the four directions of the forest.
With the expectation of possibly meeting Adventurer, he went to check each one, only to find that they were all Hilichurl camps.
He took one look from afar and immediately retreated.
It was too absurd!
This is Mondstadt, right! This is Mondstadt, right!
He repeated it twice!
What are the Knights of Favonius doing?
…
The sun was setting, and Jiang Yi didn't dare to wander around.
He spent an entire day just finding seven or eight Sunsettia to fill his stomach and picking a bag of Mushroom.
Life + 300!
The taste was a bit sour, perhaps not ripe enough, which was why the Hilichurl hadn't picked them.
But for Jiang Yi, if it was sweeter than dendro slime, it was delicious.
