Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

In an instant, Xiao's pupils dilated and his vision became wide and clear. In his eyes, the axe of the Fire Axe thug seemed to split the world in half.

There is no time to hide, am I going to die?

"clang--"

"Young man, don't lose focus during the battle."

The bearded uncle used his giant sword to deflect the whistling axe, which happened to hit Wang Chen.

"Boom! Boom!" Wang Chen held his breath and concentrated, hearing his own heartbeat wildly.

"——You taught me a lesson."

After his brain crashed and restarted, Xiao looked at the hillbilly thug kneeling on the ground and felt a surge of anger in his heart.

How can you still attack when your legs are broken? Why don't you just kneel there? You deserve to die!

And this uncle, isn't it just more combat experience? Why are you pretending? I have the Eye of God, do you have it?

I will kill you in seconds sooner or later.

However, he managed his facial expressions very well and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Xiao strode closer to the Hillock thugs and raised his sword, "Die, monster!"

He is so tall! Even when he is kneeling on the ground, he is taller than me.

The long sword pierced into the heart, and then stirred it, causing black blood to gushed out.

"Yika! Biat ye!"

The humiliation continues.

The thug did not die immediately. He swung his big hand towards Xiao's head, but this time he was extremely alert and jumped back to avoid it.

"Isn't it said that the weaknesses of the Hillichouls are the same as those of humans? If their hearts are destroyed, they will die?" Xiao turned his head and looked at his fellow adventurers.

"Well, the strength of the mobs is too dangerous. We have never killed any of them... but look..." An adventurer pointed to the bodies of other hillbillies, "They are all dead."

"Then what should I do with this thing?" Looking at the thug waving his arms around and the sword stuck in his body, that was his future heirloom 'Cold Blade'.

His eyes fell on the uncle with the two-handed sword. Xiao hoped that he could take action, but he didn't want the credit of killing the thug to be taken away by others.

As an old adventurer, the uncle naturally understood this thought. He said, "The thugs and the Hillock King are many times stronger than ordinary Hillock people. This is visible to the naked eye."

After a pause, he continued, "The most direct way is to destroy the brain, but damage to the heart is also fatal. Wait two minutes and it will die."

Only then did Xiao feel relieved.

When the thug stopped moving, he drew his sword and took off the thug's mask, which was his trophy.

"This face is disgusting."

"Fortunately, they were wearing masks, otherwise, if they turned their faces in the fight, we would have to surrender."

"Hahahaha!" Several adventurers were amused.

"Xiao eliminated the thugs in his first expedition against monsters. There is really a lot to look forward to in the future!"

"I'm lucky, and I have everyone's help. If this was a wooden shield thug, I wouldn't be able to beat him." Xiao's face was full of smiles.

"The Knights are just sitting there doing nothing. They just let the monsters run away to the Whispering Forest."

Xiao waved his hand. "Don't say that. Wind dragons have been active recently, and the Knights have gone to various places to prevent dragon disasters. These Hillilchur people took the opportunity to approach Mondstadt. Only we adventurers can take action."

"Hey, we adventurers, we won't be ourselves when the next knights' selection takes place."

The group continued walking along the road, chatting and laughing.

Wang Chen, who had been hiding in the woods nearby and peeking throughout the entire time, came to the expected conclusion.

People do not treat the Qiuqiu people in a friendly way.

In other worlds, the Hilichurls have a similar status to the Goblins.

However, he did not expect that people in this world spoke standard Mandarin.

The whole world is speaking Mandarin, which is good as there is no language barrier.

After thinking for a while, Wang Chen decided to take the wild road, climb up the cliff on the south side of the Whispering Forest, pass through the Wind Rising Land vertically from north to south, and then reach Daupa Valley.

Although the Witches' Tea Party Island is above Eagle Beach, the nearest place to it is the mountaintop in the north of Dadaupa Valley.

Wang Chen, who had no experience in mountain climbing, seemed to have mastered some passive skill. No matter whether it was a mountain or a tree, as long as the angle with the ground was greater than ninety degrees, he would climb it.

It took some time to climb up the cliff, and unexpectedly I came across a gathering place of hill people.

There were a total of six Hilichurls at this gathering point. Four of them were sitting around a campfire, one was standing in the distance holding a crossbow, and the closest Hilichurl was holding a wooden stick. After sensing the movement, they were all looking at Wang Chen.

The hillman closest to Wang Chen said, "Olah."

"Olah, Olah." (Hello, hello.) Wang Chen was frightened. He could not understand the language of the Hillichul people at all. However, after thinking carefully in his mind, he realized that this was a greeting, so he learned to repeat it twice.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Wang Chen scratched his head, followed the edge of the cliff, turned half a circle with the hill people in front as the center, and went behind them. Along the way, the six hill people followed his eyes.

"Goodbye!" Wang Chen wanted to shout out 'Valo', but he didn't know the pronunciation, which was very embarrassing.

"Dala? (What?)" The four hillbillies looked at each other and made puzzled sounds.

When it was dark, Wang Chen rushed to the big tree where Fengqidi was.

He didn't rest during the entire day except for spying on the battle in the morning and having lunch at noon.

He encountered many gathering places of the Hillichul people on the way, but because of language problems, he did not get close.

He also saw adventurers driving away the Hilichurls several times, when they were passing through Mondstadt on the road to the Temple of a Thousand Winds.

Because he had to cross a wide, open road, he had to look for uninhabited areas along the way.

Among them was a team of nearly twenty people who almost discovered him.

"These monsters are so annoying. Why can't we kill them all?"

"Yeah, last time my neighbor's kid pulled a cart of fruit, half of it was taken away by the Hillbillies!"

"I get so angry when I talk about this. Last time, my son went on an outing with his classmates and was almost beaten to permanent disability! Fortunately, the church has excellent medical skills."

"Shh, is there someone in the bush over there?"

"Why aren't you coming out? Could you be a Hillilchir?"

"The Hillilchur people can hide? They don't have the intelligence to do that."

Without waiting for the adventurers to get close, Wang Chen ran away.

Every time he recalled the whole day today, he had mixed feelings. For humans, no matter who transformed the Hill Choppers into, it was a fact that they had done a lot of bad things.

He is also a Qiuqiu person now.

Wang Chen sighed and focused his attention on the big tree in front of him.

Windrise Land is the only place in Mondstadt that can barely be considered a plain. There is also a giant tree growing here. The actual tree is many times larger than the one in the game, forming a landscape that is very rare in Mondstadt and even Teyvat.

Legend has it that Vanessa landed on Sky Island from here, so this place is also known as the symbol of Mondstadt's heroes. Wang Chen knew that Vanessa had received help from the God of Wind, and it was not a legend that she landed on Sky Island from here.

Unfortunately, this tree does not bear fruit. Although it looks good, it cannot be eaten.

After eating three meals of Sunset Fruit and Sweet Flowers, Wang Chen saw the fish in the river and a Qiuqiu people's sentry post not far away. He became interested and swiftly went into the water to catch two fish and approached the small sentry post where there were only six Qiuqiu people.

A patrolling hillman holding a crossbow saw Wang Chen and took the initiative to greet him: "Olah. (Hello.)"

This time Wang Chen did not speak. Although he understood what the other party said, he could only repeat it, so he decided to pretend to be mute and communicate with body language.

In this way, everyone can understand its meaning.

He held the fish in his left hand, raised it up, and then handed the fish to the patrolling Hillman.

"Aba Todo Mi? (Food sent to me?)"

After checking the dictionary in his mind, he repeated the action of holding the fish forward, and this time the patrolling hillbilly accepted it.

Then he pointed at the campfire behind the patrolling hillbillies, and then at the other fish he was holding.

"Celi? (Fire?)"

Seeing that he understood, Wang Chen was very happy. He repeated the action of pointing at the fire and walked forward tentatively. Seeing that the patrolling hillbillies stopped talking, he walked all the way to the campfire.

During the whole process, other Hillichul people also noticed him, but did not react.

When he was preparing to grill the fish, he was in trouble again. He had been holding the fish with both hands and had no way to find a wooden stick or something.

The patrolling Hillman also sat down by the campfire, took out a crossbow arrow and inserted it into the fish's mouth. Seeing that Wang Chen had no tools, he handed Wang Chen a crossbow arrow.

Wang Chen shook his head.

There is no poison on your arrow... It feels unhygienic. I don't trust the sanitary environment of the Qiuqiu people. Seeing some shrubs growing nearby, Wang Chen picked one of suitable thickness, broke off the branches and leaves, forked the fish, and started to roast it.

There was no seasoning, although Wang Chen really hoped that the patrolling hillbillies could conjure up a handful of salt out of thin air, he could accept this even if it was unhygienic.

After eating only sweet and sour fruits for several days in a row, you can understand why the Qiuqiu people don’t like to eat plant-based foods. Wang Chen has not reached that level yet, but he can imagine it.

There is no skill involved, it's all about emotion. Soon the fish skin was sizzling with oil, and the fragrance attracted the attention of other hill people at the sentry post.

Wang Chen turned the fish over and continued grilling it, but after a while he smelled a burnt smell.

He quickly took the fish back and looked at it carefully. Is it cooked well?

Turning around, I found that the fish of the patrolling hillbillies was burnt.

"..."

Wang Chen held his grilled fish and bumped it against the patrolling hillbilly's grilled fish, signaling him to turn it over.

The patrolling hillbillies finally reacted.

From a universal point of view, life in the wild on the continent of Teyvat is still possible, of course, for people who have the ability to survive.

When you are thirsty, drink river water, which is clean, hygienic and a little sweet. When you are hungry, eat fruits, hunt birds and catch fish. When you are sleepy, use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, and fall asleep as soon as you lie down.

This was the first time Wang Chen ate meat in this world. Although there was no seasoning, it was already delicious for him.

More importantly, the Hillichul people's attitude towards their fellow strangers was pretty good. There was no welcoming ceremony, but they didn't expel him either.

Compared to the fighting scene seen in the morning, the people of the hills were very quiet after they quieted down.

Wang Chen imagined how these hill people lived when no one was approaching. If there were no outsiders, they should be like they are now, patrolling all the time and being in a daze all the time.

Won’t you feel bored?

Without giving it any more thought, he decided to spend the night here.
