Yuanshin: Before I was buried by Walnut, I opened the coffin and got up

Such a big snow-capped mountain, I don't know how many rivers have merged into it.

Walking up the stream, he saw many dilapidated buildings. These buildings could no longer tell what their original function was, only broken stone walls and toppled stone pillars remained.

Only the bases of these stone pillars remain, but even the bases are carved with patterns, which are the crystallization of time and wisdom.

Jiang Bai leaned over curiously, cleaned up the snow and ice covered on the stone pillars, and carefully observed the patterns on the stone pillars.

These patterns are very similar to the patterns on the broken ruins on the Guyun Pavilion, and are even exactly the same in the composition of a certain symbol.

The more he looked, the more confused Jiang Bai became.

He has already determined that the ruins of Guyun Pavilion come from the people of the demon god who were suppressed down there. How come there are the same architectural ruins in the snow-capped mountains?

Could it be that the birthplace of those people is the snow mountain?It was only later that they moved to Guyun Pavilion, so Guyun Pavilion has similar architectural patterns?

Or do these patterns not represent the people of the demon god suppressed by Guyun Pavilion, but represent a certain civilization and ethnic group?

There is too little information, and Jiang Bai can't figure it out. He temporarily put this question on hold and continues to go up.

The more you go up, the more remains of ancient buildings, and you can even see some small settlements composed of Qiuqiu people.

Because of the environment of the snow-capped mountains, these Qiuqiu people living in the snow-capped mountains have also purified the corresponding characteristics of the snow-capped mountains. Their hair has evolved into white, which can help them hide better in the snow.

Chapter 107 The Shadow Behind the Mask

These Qiuqiu people, who had lived in the snow-capped mountains for an unknown amount of time, were not afraid of the cold, and they didn't have the habit of using clothes to keep warm except for some cloth to cover their key parts.

Jiang Bai hid behind the stone and looked at these Qiuqiu people who were dancing, sleeping, or making snowmen, and suddenly became curious.

Since these white Qiuqiu people are not afraid of the cold, if they are placed in a hot environment, will they be afraid of the heat?

Or are you not afraid of cold or heat?

Jiang Bai quickly stopped his extra curiosity, now is not the time to study whether Qiuqiu people are afraid of the cold.

The perception of these Qiuqiu people is not strong, he moved his wrist, used his reasoning, and rushed towards the group of Qiuqiu people blocking the way.

He didn't want to bully these Qiuqiu people, but they blocked his only way, so he had to send them back to the west!

Priest Qiuqiu was still dancing around the fire, and he didn't find an enemy lurking nearby at all. The other Qiuqiu people were also doing their own things, and they didn't find Jiang Bai's existence at all.

When they found out that Jiang Bai was coming, they hurriedly picked up their weapons, and their priests had already died.

Jiang Bai treated these Qiuqiu people equally, and sent them to see God one by one.

May there be no Jiang Bai in heaven, Amen!

After easily finishing off a group of Qiuqiu people, Jiang Bai felt refreshed.

But looking at the Qiuqiu people who fell to the ground, the curiosity in Jiang Bai's heart rose again.

What do these Qiuqiu people look like under their masks?

He walked up to a dead Qiuqiu and squatted down, curiously lifted its mask.

Because these masks have not been lifted for a long time, they have grown into one body with the body, and it is difficult for Jiang Bai to lift them.

Under the mask is a face that doesn't look like a human. The skin is bruised and purple, with weird lines on it, and thin and dense fluff, which makes people get goosebumps at a glance.

Those eyes are still within the normal range, and the two eyes are in the position where they should be, but there is no white, they are black, and they are inexplicably weird.

Its nose is short and small, a bit like a pig's nose, and its mouth is just under the mask, which does not hinder eating even if it is wearing a mask.

Generally speaking, it is the face that will scare and cry children.

I don't know why these Qiuqiu people wear masks. Do they feel terrible when they see their own faces?

It seems that all the Qiuqiu people he has seen so far, whether they are in Liyue territory or Snow Mountain territory, no matter big or small, whether they are priests or ordinary Qiuqiu people, all wear masks.

Is this similar behavior a racial characteristic?

From blood?From group consciousness?

Jiang Bai picked up the crossbow machine used by these Qiuqiu people. This crossbow machine looks simple, but in fact the parts are quite sophisticated. Even children who don't understand anything can use it directly.

"These crossbows were made by these Qiuqiu people?"

There are very obvious forging marks on it, the kind of steel that is uniformly press-fitted by a lathe is made and assembled, as if produced by a human factory.

It's just that why are the crossbows produced by humans in the hands of the Qiuqiu people?

Not only the Qiuqiu people here can use this, but the Qiuqiu people in Liyue Mountain can also use crossbows. They can also shoot arrows of different elements. Although they are not accurate enough, they can also cause a lot of trouble to people.

This can't possibly also come from the commonality of the group, right?

Jiang Bai put down the crossbow and got into the Qiuqiu camp.

This is just a small camp, simply made up of a few pieces of cloth tied to tree branches and rocks to keep out the wind and snow.Some simple wooden boxes were randomly placed beside them. Jiang Bai broke the wooden boxes and found that there were some dried meat slices, vegetables, and sunset fruits inside.

Apparently, this is how they store food.

In addition, there is a small fire in the center of the camp, which is propped up by two tree branches, and there is a pot that was snatched from some adventurer hanging there.

Jiang Bai opened the pot and saw that there were two slices of meat and two carrots in the pot. They should have been cleaned. The carrots looked clean and there was no dirt. It was just that the guy who cooked the food obviously didn't have the consciousness to cut vegetables. Just cook the food, regardless of the taste.

Judging from all these signs, the IQ of these Qiuqiu people is obviously not high enough, and there is only the simplest way to think about problems.

But where did these Qiuqiu people with low IQs get their crossbows?How is it trained and used?

Or are there unknown forces secretly funding and training these monsters?

Thinking, Jiang Bai wrapped his coat tightly.

According to Hutao, monsters like the Qiuqiu spread throughout the entire Tivat continent, that is to say, they are everywhere.

But there is such an unknown force training them secretly, the purpose is unknown.

Once this organization gathers all the Qiuqiu people and wants to do something...

Jiang Bai couldn't help shivering when he thought about such a scene.

He dug a deep pit and buried all the bodies of these Qiuqiu people, as a final destination for these monsters.

In fact, cremation is the most suitable, but Jiang Bai does not have the conditions for them to be cremated, so he can only bury them on the spot, so as to prevent the corpses of these monsters from being used as sacrifice materials by people with ulterior motives, and come up with some dangerous and evil things .

No one can guarantee that there are no evil gods in this world. People who were born in the Hall of Rebirth, no matter whether it is the corpse of a monster or a human, it is good to dispose of it when they see it.

After disposing of the corpse, Jiang Bai found a ground vein anchor on a large rock.

Another leyline node was lit up.

Walking straight along the main road, walking, suddenly turned into a dead end in front of you.

The huge building that originally stood on the mountain fell down, leaving only a huge stone pillar and half a stone wall. In the gap between the stone wall and the stone pillar, a path was dug out that was only enough for one person to pass.

The end of the path was dark, and there was a whining sound of wind coming from it, which made people feel inexplicably frightened and dared not enter.

There are smooth stone walls all around, and there is still a layer of ice and snow on the stone wall. Jiang Bai climbed twice, and there was no focus at all.

There was no other way around but this one, so he had no choice but to light a torch, bend his body and get into the crack, trying to find a way up the mountain.

The path was extremely narrow at the beginning, surrounded by all kinds of overturned buildings. As we walked, the surrounding area gradually widened.

He saw a huge circular ice pool, and the water in the pool was completely frozen. He looked up and saw a circular building above.

Perhaps in the long past, it used to be a fish pond for fishing, or a place for sacrifices.

Jiang Bai threw a stone to smash the ice layer, and the thick ice layer made a crackling sound.

Jiang Bai pulled out the crushed ice and threw another stone.

After a long time, there was the sound of the stone sinking to the bottom.

Chapter 108 The Strange Qiuqiu People

"Hey, it seems that the water in this pool is very deep, maybe it connects to the underground river of this snow mountain..."

He reached out to check the temperature of the water, and it was icy cold.

"It's a pity that I have something to do now, otherwise I can try where this pool of water connects..."

He wrote down this location and prepared to come back and try again.

Going forward, what appeared in the field of vision was a cave covered in ice.

Although it was a cave, the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice crystals, and some glowing plants grew in the cave, which brought a little light to the cave, so that it would not be completely dark.

Jiang Bai held the torch and stepped on the ice-covered slippery ground and walked slowly forward. At the beginning, the cave was still relatively dark, and only the torch and those glowing plants could provide a little light.

But as he walked further in, the space of the cave became larger and larger, and his field of vision gradually began to brighten, until he came to a huge cave.

This is a huge cave, so big that it almost hollows out the entire mountain.

There are rays of light pouring down from the top, and these rays of light are sprinkled on the ground and on the wall, which has been frozen into a piece of ice and snow to scatter the rays of light, making this cave inside the cave extremely bright.

Jiang Bai looked up, even the dome of the cave was completely covered by ice crystals, a string of sharp ice cones hung upside down on the dome, and from time to time some ice cones loosened and fell into the cave, smashing the ground that had been frozen into hard soil. a pit.

Jiang Bai quickly looked at the top of his head, where there was an ice pick eager to try, ready to hit his head.

He hastily took out a big umbrella to cover himself under the umbrella, lest his head be suddenly attacked by the hidden weapon of nature.

"It's really dangerous..." Hearing the sound of the ice cone falling on the umbrella, Jiang Bai sighed and shook off the ice slag.

There are dangers of one kind or another in the wild, just like this cave, which looks safe, but once you relax your vigilance because of this, the ice cone falling from above may kill you.

He continued to walk forward, and the whole picture of the cave unfolded in front of his eyes.

He was standing on a narrow road at the moment, the path was only one person wide, and the road was full of frozen ice. When he looked down, there was a layer of white mist below him, which was hard to see clearly.

If you accidentally slipped and fell, you might just slide down from here, and if you don't have time to spread the wings of the wind, you will end up with hemiplegia.

He threw a stone down, and when the stone hit the ground, apart from the crisp sound, there was also a cry of pain from the Qiuqiu people.

Jiang Bai shrank his neck and pretended that he hadn't done anything.

Were there still people from Qiuqiu in this cave?The stone he just threw accidentally hit Qiuqiu.

He looked around and found that if he wanted to leave the cave, there was only one way leading to the bright place above. The bright place was too bright to see where it could lead, but it was always right to walk in the direction of the light of.

It's just that the road leads to the white mist below. If he wants to get to the road that can go up, he must first go down along this road, enter the bottom, and then find the way up.

It's a bit complicated, but in short, he's going to go down to find the Chuchu he just hit and apologize.

I hope that Qiuqiu can withstand his apology.

He walked down the road carefully, passed through the layer of white fog, and his visibility gradually increased. He saw a relatively small Qiuqiu sitting on the ground with a big bag on his head, and he The stone that was thrown just now fell to the side.

It rubbed the big bag on top of its head and babbled aggrievedly.

Jiang Bai's conscience ached a little, he quietly approached this Qiuqiu man, ready to surprise it.

It picked up the stone that hit him as if venting its anger, and slammed it hard against the stone wall. The stone bounced off the stone wall and fell to Jiang Bai's feet, which also made the Qiuqiu man see Jiang Bai.

Seeing the sudden appearance of humans, the Qiuqiu man was stunned for a while, just when Jiang Bai thought it was going to attack him, the Qiuqiu man walked up to him and tilted his head, making a sound of doubt the sound of.

"Olah~"

"what?"

Jiang Bai couldn't understand its language, but this Qiuqiu man didn't seem to want to fight him, which also stopped the rock element condensed in his hand.

So far, his knowledge of the Qiuqiu people only exists in this kind of monster.

This was the first Qiuqiu he met who didn't take the initiative to attack him, but was quite friendly to him.

"A~la~Uno~"

This Qiuqiu man spoke a language he didn't understand, but judging from the tone of his voice, it should have a more positive meaning, right?

"A~la~"

Jiang Bai repeated it blankly, not knowing why.

The little Qiuqiu danced around him, and then walked forward without warning. After walking for a while, he found that Jiang Bai didn't keep up, and walked back again.

It didn't get too close to Jiang Bai, and didn't try to grab Jiang Bai's clothes, but just used body movements to signal Jiang Bai to follow him.

"Ya~ Todo~"

Jiang Bai is even more at a loss, what does this Qiuqiu mean?

Do you want him to follow him to the camp, and then let the clansmen rush up and give him Fa-rectification on the spot?

It's no wonder that he speculated about Qiuqiu people in such a malicious way, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.
