This MC is so original

Seeing this, Zhongli frowned and asked worriedly, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

He had checked this world as soon as he came in. Apart from the rich element of fire, he could not sense the existence of other elements. Although the air was a little hot and had a smell of saltpeter, there was nothing unusual.

"No, it's just that the strong smell of death in this world makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Walnut tightened her clothes uncomfortably and looked around in confusion: "Although we're here, where can we find that adventurer?"

"Rather than finding that adventurer, Hall Master, perhaps we are in some trouble."

Zhongli suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a long spear quietly appeared in his palm. After being reminded by him, Hu Tao also hurriedly looked around, and saw hundreds of masters with light pink skin gathered around with golden swords in their hands.

"Is this the pig-headed monster Lanxi mentioned? It looks quite creepy."

Walnut also took out the spear from behind and looked at the group of pigmen vigilantly. If they showed any hostility, she would immediately take action to eliminate them.

"Wait a minute, Zhongli and his group of pigmen don't seem hostile. Could it be that what that adventurer said is true?"

Walnut held his spear and stood alert for a long time. The group of pigmen who surrounded them did not attack but just stared at them.

“There is indeed no hostility, but there is no communication.”

Zhongli had just tried several methods to communicate with these pig people, but received no response.

"And, Hall Master, they're surrounding us like this, and it's not easy for us to leave."

Faced with this creature he had never seen before, Zhongli was a little worried. It was not that he was worried that he could not defeat the opponent, but he was worried that he would annoy the opponent with an inconspicuous action, which might cause some trouble. The number of the opponent was really too large.

Looking around, in addition to the hundreds of pigmen surrounding them, there were countless other pigmen gathering in groups in the distance.

"What should we do then?" Walnut was also a little troubled.

Zhongli hesitated for a moment, then suddenly jokingly said, "How about you give them some flyers, Hall Master? Whenever you handed flyers to passersby before, they would always walk away with a look of disgust on their faces. Who knows, these pigmen might feel the same way."

"Go away, it's already late and you're still joking. Besides, I'm screening clients! They're not disliking me! If you have time to joke around, you should think of a solution!"

"Haha, don't worry, Hall Master. I think someone who can solve the problem is coming soon."

Zhongli suddenly glanced at a pit not far from the two of them. He suddenly realized that in the bottomless pit, there was a person moving upwards at a constant speed and would soon reach the surface.

And in this world, who else could be a human being except the adventurer who came in before them?

P.S. Sorry, I haven't updated much in the past two days due to poor health. I will try to make up for it in the next two days. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be six updates today. This is the first update.

Chapter 47: The contract is made, and those who break their promises will be punished by eating rocks

"Damn, ancient debris is so hard to dig. I've dug three groups of gold nuggets and haven't seen any yet."

Lu Xiu complained for a while, but didn't care too much. After all, he hadn't even dug up diamonds yet, and even if he saw ancient ruins, he couldn't dig them. Moreover, if he wanted to find ancient ruins, there were other better ways. The main purpose of going down to the mine this time was to dig gold nuggets to make gold ingots to make gold equipment and trade with piglins.

As soon as he came out of underground, Lu Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the lively scene on the surface. It was not because of the group of pigmen who gathered together, but because he was surprised by the appearance of Hu Tao and Zhongli.

Lu Xiu's appearance also surprised Hu Tao. She covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed, "Someone has come out from underground!"

Zhongli smiled and patted Hu Tao's shoulder, saying, "Don't panic, Hall Master. This gentleman might be the adventurer we're looking for."

Lu Xiu listened to the conversation between the two and frowned as he asked, "Who are you? Why are you here? This isn't a place you can just come to casually."

Seeing Lu Xiu taking the initiative, Hu Tao angrily retorted with her hands on her hips, "I'll return the favor to you. This place filled with the aura of death is not a place for a living person like you to mess around. Come back with us quickly."

"What are you talking about? I came here on purpose, why should I go back with you?"

Lu Xiu glanced at Hu Tao speechlessly, then reminded her, "The lower realm is not a place for you. The scenery here is not good, and it's dangerous. You'd better leave quickly. Even I don't like coming to this place."

After saying that, Lu Xiu walked towards the group of pigs. Seeing him approaching his master, Walnut hurriedly reminded him, "Hey, hey, hey, don't anger these monsters. There are so many of them!"

"Don't panic, just treat them as air."

Lu Xiu came up to the pigs and pushed them apart without any hesitation.

"Don't block the way, don't block the way, go play."

Hu Tao became nervous when she heard Lu Xiu's impolite words. She clenched her spear tightly in both hands and was ready to help Lu Xi at any time.

Instead, Zhongli looked at Lu Xiu with curiosity, with no intention of taking action at all.

However, what was miraculous was that Lu Xiu's rude behavior, which could even be considered a provocation in human society, did not anger these pig-headed monsters.

After these pigmen were pushed aside by Lu Xiu, they actually walked aside very honestly to make way for the road.

"Eh?"

Walnut was also a little surprised: "Are these monsters so cowardly? If it were the Hillilchur people, they would have rushed up and fought desperately."

"Cowardly?"

Lu Xiu walked out of the encirclement of the pigmen, stood on the periphery, turned around and sneered.

"If you hit them once, you'll know if they're timid or not. Then all the pigmen in the netherworld will swarm over and fight you to the death."

Originally, Walnut was thinking about whether to give it a try, after all, she was quite confident in her martial arts, but when she thought about all the pig people in the underworld coming back, she decided to give up her suicidal idea.

Zhongli now quickly pulled Hu Tao out of the pigmen's encirclement and came to Lu Xiu's side.

Walnut put his hands on his hips and asked unhappily, "Did you destroy my stone door and stone lantern?"

When Lu Xiu saw that the real culprit had come to him, he started with three consecutive denials.

"It's not me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, Lu Xiu randomly chose a direction and walked away, followed closely by Hu Tao and Zhong Li.

Walnut followed behind him and continued to talk about her stone gate and stone lamp.

Lu Xiu’s ears were almost callused from listening, but he still said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhongli changed the subject and said, "Brother, it seems you are well aware of the dangers of this world, but why did you insist on coming here?"

"Nothing in the world is without profit. I came here to find something. Otherwise, who would come to a place where there is not even a bed?"

"Brother, what you said is very true, but what are you looking for? If you don't mind, could you tell us two about it?"

Zhongli is very curious about everything in this new world. Moreover, this world also has an entrance and exit connected to Liyue. He must make sure that the creatures in this world will not endanger Liyue.

Zhongli's question made Lu Xiu alert: "Why are you curious about this?"

He was worried that if he told others that there were treasures hidden in Piglin Fortress and Hell Fortress, and if Zhongli told these things to the outside world, wouldn't many people come to snatch those possible enchanted equipment from him?

There really are adventurers in this world, and he is just starting out. Before he can enchant items on his own, every piece of enchanted equipment is very useful to him.

Zhongli saw the worry in Lu Xiu's eyes and said with a smile, "If you're worried that I might leak secrets, why don't we sign a contract? I promise not to reveal anything about this place, and I'll also help you find what you need. Of course, I won't charge you for anything you need. All I ask is that you explain things about this world to me."

"A contract? I don't really believe in it. It's just a piece of paper. You can tear it up at any time if you want."

"You don't have to worry about that."

At this moment, Hu Tao suddenly spoke up, "Our Liyue's Geo Emperor is known as the God of Contracts. He oversees all contracts signed in Liyue, and will punish anyone who disobeys."

"God?"

Lu Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was the second time he heard this word. It seemed that there really were higher beings like gods in this world. It made people curious about what the gods dropped.

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

Lu Xiu readily agreed at this time. Since there was a god supervising, and Zhongli didn't look like the kind of person who would tear up the contract, and considering the content of the contract, he only needed to pay a little attention, and the rest was his benefit.

It's a very good deal.

"it is good."

Zhongli took out a written contract from somewhere and signed it with Lu Xiu.

"The contract has been made. Anyone who breaks his promise shall be punished by eating rocks."

"Okay, now that we've signed the contract, let me tell you something. I need to find two fortresses that contain things and creatures I need."

After signing the contract, Lu Xiu stated his goal, and then looked at Zhongli with some suspicion.

"Can you really help me find these two places?"

Zhongli smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, I know a thing or two about wayfinding."

P.S. Second update, in response to a reader's words in the previous chapter, even if I write one chapter in an hour, or even two hours, I will write six chapters today. After all, I owed you all several chapters before, and I have to compensate you all.

Chapter 48: Human Compass Zhongli

Zhongli closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense. Although the elements of this world were a little chaotic, his power could still be exerted normally. In less than half a minute, he found the building that Lu Xiu wanted.

Zhongli opened his eyes, raised his hand, pointed to the southwest, and said, "Over there, I sense a building."

Zhongli's performance surprised Lu Xiu. "Not bad, just a little slower than the natural biome compass."

There are many MODs in MC that can help Lu Xiu find his targets. Originally, he planned to directly purchase this kind of MOD to help himself find Piglin Fortress and Hell Fortress. However, now with the existence of Zhongli, who can be called a human compass, it just saves him a lot of achievement points.

"But the question is, how do we get there?"

Walnut walked forward a few steps and then stopped. In front of her was a cliff, and below the cliff was magma that was bubbling with hot steam.

Walnut frowned as he looked at the lava below. "This world is really strange. There's lava everywhere, but no water?"

Lu Xiu explained, "The rules of this world are very special. Even though the air temperature isn't high, as long as you pour out water, even a few liters, it will evaporate instantly."

"What about the Eye of the Water Elemental God?"

"I don't know. I've never seen the Eye of God. Maybe it's useful, maybe not."

"So, how the hell are we supposed to get across this damn lava lake?"

Walnut stood on the edge of the cliff, raised her index finger and touched her red lips. Her red lips slightly opened, and the tip of her cherry-red tongue appeared and licked her index finger.

Kurumi raised her saliva-soaked index finger above her head, felt it carefully, and shook her head helplessly.

"There's no wind here, so it's difficult to get through using the Wind Wings."

"Even if there's wind, the Wings of Wind won't be able to cross this lava lake." Zhongli estimated the lake, which seemed to have no end in sight. "This lava lake is at least several hundred meters wide. The Wings of Wind simply can't get through."

"Then Zhongli, do you have any better suggestions?" Hu Tao asked unhappily with her arms crossed.

"My words..."

Zhongli leaned on his arm and imagined what he should do if he really wanted to cross this lava lake. The first thought that came to his mind was to fill up the lava lake so that he could walk across it directly.

Thinking of this absurd yet practical method, Zhongli couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "No, I don't have any method, but seeing that this brother doesn't seem to care at all, I think he must have some method, right?"

"Of course there is a way. Otherwise, just call me Lu Xiu."

"Well, Mr. Lu Xiu, just call me Zhongli. This is Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall."

"Ah."

Lu Xiu nodded slightly, then walked to the edge of the cliff, squatted down, took out a set of nether rock from his backpack and held it in his hand.

"Hmm? What's that in your hand? It looks familiar."

When Hu Tao saw the thing that suddenly appeared in Lu Xiu's hand, she felt as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"The small block in Mr. Lu Xiu's hand should be the scarlet rock we are standing on, right?"

Zhongli recognized at a glance where the netherworld rock in Lu Xiu's hand came from.

"That's right. Nether rock is as hard as ordinary stone. It's easy to mine and there's a lot of it. It's the best choice for building roads in Hell."

As he was speaking, Lu Xiu raised his hand and waved it, and the edge of the cliff suddenly extended outward by one square meter.

"Huh?! How did you do that?"

Walnut walked over curiously, tentatively stretched out his toes and tapped on the nether rock that suddenly extended out, and found that it was very solid, just like stepping on the ground, without any shaking.

"It's just a little trick, not worth mentioning."

Lu Xiu had heard this question too many times and didn't want to bother explaining it to Zhongli and Hu Tao anymore. He just concentrated on riding the road, looking back from time to time to confirm the direction.

Hu Tao and Zhong Li followed slowly along the way. After a while, the lively Hu Tao felt a little bored.

"I say, when can we finally cross the lava lake? Although your load-free bridge across the lake is quite amazing, isn't it too slow?"
