Gudong can't change much now, he can only change into something he is more familiar with.
For example, ducks, fish, and birds in the sky often appear.
If you want to change it into other things, you can only gradually become familiar with it and master it yourself.
"Can I turn back into a slime?"
"Goo!"
Gudong spun around in circles and turned directly into an inconspicuous little water slime.
"It has evolved, but the original characteristics are still there, which is a good thing."
"Gu~"
Slime is everywhere, and it’s not eye-catching.
The appearance of the water elf is still a bit eye-catching, so there's no guarantee that there won't be anyone with ulterior motives.
If you are in danger, you can directly turn into a water slime to hide the danger.
With the survival rules of the human world prepared by it, Gudong can go out and play freely.
"Okay Gudong, let's go back."
Gudong nodded and floated beside him happily, making Jiang Bai feel like he was followed by Paimon.
Jiang Bai taught it the rules of survival as he walked.
"The first rule of survival is, don't use your abilities casually in front of others. Pretend that you are just an ordinary water elf. This way, you can avoid being targeted by bad guys to the greatest extent..."
"You've already been caught once, so remember this especially, you know?"
Gudong nodded solemnly.
It doesn’t want to be sold to the auction house again!
"The second rule of survival is not to eat food given by others.
"Some bad guys will use food to trick children, and after eating it, they will fall unconscious, and you will have no choice but to be slaughtered..."
When Gudong thought about this scene, he shook his head quickly to show that he remembered it.
Jiang Bai finished a series of survival rules and finally said:
"I will make you a small scarf and draw it with the logo and name of the Purity Hall. You can wear it around your neck. If you get lost when you go out to play, show the words on the scarf to passers-by and ask them to take you back to the Purity Hall. …”
Hanging things up means that the little guy has an owner, and most people won't take any chances with it.
Gudong nodded, and it remembered everything.
On the morning of the third day, Jiang Bai and Kong, who were ready to go, met at the entrance of the Rebirth Hall.
"Master, remember to send me a message when you have time!"
Jiang Bai hugged Hu Tao reluctantly. Even though he was only going out for a while and could even come back at any time, he still felt so reluctant to let go.
Sora stood aside with his hands folded across his chest and clicked his tongue twice.
"People who are in love~"
Paimon imitated his actions and clicked his tongue twice.
"People who are passionately in love~"
Gudong, who was floating aside, watched the two people's movements and imitated their appearance, holding two small wings-like hands together.
"Gu Gu Gu~"
Jiang Bai gave Kong and Paimeng a headache.
"Why are you saying bad things about me behind my back? Don't spoil my Gudong."
Paimeng was furious: "I didn't say anything bad about you. If you don't believe me, just ask Gudong!"
Although he was surprised when Gudong turned into a water elf, after getting used to it for a while, Paimon accepted it well.
After all, anything can happen in Teyvat. It's just a slime evolving, so there's no need to make a fuss.
Gudong nodded to prove to Paimon that he didn't say anything bad.
Kong looked at Jiang Bai jokingly, "If you are so reluctant to let go, just don't forget it."
"What do you know, a bachelor? Let's go!"
Hutao waved to them and watched their figures disappear at the end of the road.
This time I am traveling far away, and it will probably take half a month before we can see each other again.
…
Most people will choose two roads to go to Xumi. One is to pass through the fairly flat hillside above the Caiqiao Valley, and the other is to go directly through the giant layered rock abyss.
Most caravans will choose the first road, because that road has flat terrain and is quite suitable for large groups to walk.
Needless to say, the terrain of the layered rock abyss is much closer. Although it is closer, the difficulty of passing through it is also rising in a straight line.
Naturally, Jiang Bai and the three of them don't need to make any choice, they can just choose the nearest road.
Teleported directly to the Layer Rock Abyss, I found a jobber to ask for directions, and soon found the road leading to Xumi.
After passing through a long underground cave, Jiang Bai could already feel the obvious difference from Liyue before he walked out.
The vegetation here is extremely lush, the air is extremely humid, and large areas of mushrooms grow in the caves.
Huge tree roots broke out of the ground and ran straight through the sky above the cave. There were vines twining up and even small purple flowers bloomed.
Paimon was very excited, "Wow, I already feel like Sumeru."
Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Have you been here before?"
"As Teyvat's best guide, this is a basic skill, okay?"
"Are you self-proclaimed?"
Pamon raised his head, "Sora, tell me if I am the best guide!"
"Yes, yes, Paimon is the best guide."
Hearing Sora praise him so much, Paimon puffed up his chest and suddenly became extremely proud.
"Did you hear that? I'm the best guide ever!"
"Then let the best guide lead the way."
Paimon maintained his proud posture and flew out along the hole.
Walking out of the cave, the whole world is completely different from Liyue.
There are huge and dense plants everywhere, and the fragrance of vegetation spreads in the air.
There are strange creatures that look like mushrooms, jumping around, wild boars with mushrooms on their backs running around, and groups of lumpy beasts sleeping soundly among the grass.
It is unimaginable that in a long time ago, this place would be a desert.
Gudong looked at these things he had never seen before with curiosity.
This kind of rain forest scene was something he had never seen in Liyue.
"Wow!"
Paimon flew into the air excitedly, breathing loudly the air that belonged to Sumeru.
After having fun for a while, he finally remembered his identity as a guide and flew back.
"If I remember correctly, we will reach Huachengguo a little further away."
Jiang Bai looked at the Xumi map he bought and nodded.
"You remember correctly."
With their pace, it wouldn't be a problem to get to the nearest town before dark.
In this case, there is no need to hurry.
"Our good guide, what is that thing over there that looks like a mushroom and can move called?"
"Well, that's a mushroom beast. It's a monster unique to Sumeru."
"Monster?" Jiang Bai felt that this little thing looked quite unique.
"Can I eat it?"
"! You actually want to eat mushrooms!"
"What? You've already eaten slime, haven't you ever eaten mushrooms?"
Paimeng glanced at Gudong next to him, feeling a little embarrassed.
Gudong didn't care. A slime without intelligence was just like a wild boar on the roadside, no different.
"It's either that I can't eat it, or I heard it's very difficult to eat..."
"You put it like that, I really want to taste what it tastes like. Are you right, Sora?"
Kong nodded, he was also curious about what this mushroom beast tasted like.
