Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

The wild boar king collapsed to the ground, screaming miserably, rolling back and forth with all his strength, forcing the hunters not to approach him.

The feather arrows shot at its left neck and just behind its left shoulder were almost turning that part into a porcupine. Now, all of them broke off as the wild boar king rolled over, but the parts that had been inserted actually drilled deeper.

Dark red blood gushed out from the arrow hole, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of squeezed and broken grass, accompanied by bursts of pig squeals, which made Wang Chen feel a pain in his flesh.

Duraf glanced at the sun and said, "It's getting late. We have to kill it quickly."

He waved his hand and took a heavy sword from the back of another old hunter. The sword had an angular ridge and a thick blood groove in the middle of the sword.

Duraf quickly climbed up the tree, tightly grasped the sword, and when the time was right, he dropped the sword from the air right behind the wild boar king's shoulder. The entire sword was buried in the sword, and the wild boar king, who was still struggling, immediately became less noisy.

Duraf stepped on the wild boar king, twisted the hilt of the sword hard, and immediately retreated far away.

Although the long sword was wrapped in the wild boar king's solid muscles, it still deflected slightly and created a gap, and immediately a stream of blood spurted out like a fountain.

"This is the wild boar's heart. If you don't pierce the heart, it can still struggle for more than ten minutes." Duraf explained to Wang Chen specifically.

Then he said to the others, "It's hard for us to carry this wild boar king away with just a few people. We have to wait for the transport team to come. But Brock is in a hurry to use it, so I will cut off the piece she wants the most and take it back. You guys stay here and wait for the transport team to come."

The other hunters were familiar with the procedure and nodded in agreement.

Duraf cut off a large piece of the wild boar king's scars, wrapped it with the cloth he carried with him, and put it on his back. He looked at Wang Chen and said, "Let's go back together. This morning's hunting is over."

The two of them turned back the way they came.

"Do you find it boring?"

"How could that be? For ordinary people, it is thrilling."

“Hunting doesn’t require any fancy tricks. As long as you can catch the prey safely, any method is worth using.”

Carrying a piece of pork weighing more than ten pounds, Durave did not slow down. It took him an hour to get there and another hour to return.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and Brock was waiting anxiously at the door of the restaurant. Finally, he got the "fresh piece of tender meat that had just grown back from the winner of the Wild Boar King's duel for territory."

"Luckily Xiangling hasn't come back yet. I'll go and take care of this piece of meat. Dulav, find some people to help Xiangling set up another stove."

"I can do it myself. Chen, come and give me a hand."

…………

At half past twelve, Xiangling finally came back with a bunch of ingredients and a man who looked like Duraf.

"This is... really Qingquan Town, right?"

"Yes, I have answered this many times, but I don't know any of the people you are looking for."

"That's impossible. They all live in Qingquan Town. They are all my neighbors and friends."

"That's weird, what's going on?"

Everyone present fell into deep thought.

"Humph! From what I can see, you are probably like the pig you brought back. You were frozen and spent hundreds of years by accident. This place is no longer the same to you."

"Huh?! Can humans live that long?"

"This, this, this... does this really make sense?"

Paimon and Xiangling were both surprised by Xiaowen's opinion.

“Humph! It’s fine that you’re surprised by UFOs, but why are you so surprised as a Liyue person? Those descendants of Liyue who have a little bit of immortal blood can live for hundreds of years easily.

"Although this cat-man is not a long-lived species, the wild boar, which has a shorter lifespan than him, has survived until now after being frozen. What's so strange about that?"

Duraf spread his hands and said, "But even so, it's still hard to believe..."

"Humph! Didn't he say he was from Qingquan Town? Just ask him what year he was born, or ask his last name. I see that he looks so much like you, maybe he is related to you by blood."

Olaf couldn't help but say, "My name is Olaf."

"I've seen this name in the family tree! Although I can't remember the generation, this name does exist."

"Have I really arrived in the future? All my friends and relatives are... Alas! Even the house is gone..." Olaf was inexpressibly depressed. This was too cruel.

"You don't have to worry about the house. Since you are an ancestor, you can just live in my house. But our generations are too different, but our ages are similar. I won't discuss generations with you? It feels weird."

"It's a special situation, so this is the only way."

Durafu consoled his ancestor who was many generations older than him, saying, "There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing. We can only try our best to accept it."

Then he mentioned to Xiangling the cooking duel between her and Brock: "I've heard about your duel with Brock. The venue has been set up. Come with me."

…………

"Brock, I have all my ingredients ready, what about you?"

"Of course I'm ready. During the duel, this Siegfried next to me will serve as my deputy."

"Then Ying and Paimeng can be my assistants. I'll be relying on you at the critical moment!"

Ying held her forehead helplessly: "I really can't do anything about you."

"Let's start the competition now. I... and the honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius next to me, Chen, will be the judges. Brock and I have known each other for a long time, and Chen seems to know Ying. This will balance it out. But Chen and I will both judge fairly, right?"

"I will be an absolutely fair and beautiful judge!"

Brock and Xiangling said in unison: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Both parties began to pick and choose from the ordinary ingredients provided by Brock. Because Brock's restaurant mainly serves meat and is famous for barbecue, there are not as many diners at noon as at night, so there are not many people at this moment. Wang Chen, Duraf and Olaf sat in an empty seat in the restaurant waiting.

“The collision of Mondstadt’s and Liyue’s cuisines is exciting just to think about.”

"We used to just grill it and eat it directly, but now there are so many different ways to cook it..."

Were there no chefs in Qingquan Town hundreds of years ago? Wang Chen was a little confused: "It seems that Liyue had many skills in cooking thousands of years ago."

"Is that so? No wonder Liyue's chefs are famous in Teyvat."

"But I think Brock's craftsmanship is also good, Mr. Durafu, why don't you ask Brock to promote it?"

"Alas, Brock is only good at meat dishes. Besides, did you know Brock before Diona brought you here? She doesn't have much of a reputation outside."

Washing radishes, controlling the fire, making wild mushroom and chicken skewers, jade assorted bags... Wang Chen leisurely watched Ying busying herself, secretly happy in his heart that he finally didn't have to worry about these things.

Seeing that Ying had finished making the jade assorted bags, Xiangling and Brock's grilled steaks were also ready, and both sides brought their dishes over.

Before he noticed the barbecue, Wang Chen saw Ying and Paimeng's faces and couldn't help laughing.

"Why do both of you have faces like little cats?"

"It's all Xiangling's fault. She keeps us so busy!" Paimeng complained.

"Hey, I made some delicious food to reward you. Everyone is hungry, so the judges, please try it!"

Xiangling's grilled steak is paired with Qingxin flowers, Jueyun peppers, and a special ingredient from the frog, butterfly, or lizard tail given by Ying, but the special ingredient is no longer visible.

From the appearance, this grilled steak is colorful and looks outstanding.

Brock's grilled steak looked similar to the one Wang Chen had last night. It had no side dishes and only some secret seasonings. It looked pretty good, but it couldn't compare to Xiangling's.

Wang Chen and Du Lafu each held a knife and fork, cut the meat and tasted it carefully.

"To be fair, let Paimon count three, two, one, and Chen and I will tell the answer together." Duraf looked at Paimon.

"Then I shouted, ok? Three, two, one!"

"Xiang Ling."

"Xiang Ling."

Xiangling jumped up excitedly: "Yeah! We won, that's great!"

"Alas, I thought this piece of 'the fresh meat that had just grown back from the wounded winner of the battle for territory' would not lose, but it turned out to be no match for the extinct wild boar."

After hearing Brock's sigh, Duraf was shocked: "What? This is made of extinct wild boar meat?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you before? It was frozen with Olaf for hundreds of years. It means it's a wild boar from hundreds of years ago." Paimon explained kindly. She couldn't wait to try it.

"Then wouldn't it be that I have eaten hundreds of thousands of Mora in one gulp?"

"Haha, as long as it tastes good, Mora or something is not important. Now that the judging is over, everyone should come and try it!"

Xiangling used all the wild boar meat she caught in the ruins to make barbecued steaks, which were quite a lot.

"This taste is... the taste of Qingquan Town... No, it should be said that it is the taste of the Qingquan Town in the past. This is... these are the last few bites of the taste of that era..."

While eating, Olaf suddenly burst into tears.

It was just a very ordinary hunting trip. After returning, the times had changed. He was like the Teyvat version of the Broken Chess Man. When he ate the wild boar of the same era, he could no longer resist.

"Ah, don't be sad, if you want this taste, I can still make it!"

"Really? But that ancient wild boar is already extinct..."

"The ingredients are extinct, and the taste is gone! It can still be made with other ingredients."

"Well..." Wang Chen spoke weakly: "Is it possible that there are other places where wild boars are frozen, such as Longji Snow Mountain? A book I read said that Longji Snow Mountain not only has many wild boars that have become extinct in the outside world, but also has a particularly large snow pig king, which is more than five meters long and four meters tall at the shoulder."

He carefully compared the patterns on the pig and the snow pig in Xiangling's legendary mission in his mind, and they were exactly the same.

"Four, four meters high!"

Even Duraf, who was used to seeing wild boars, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
