"A dozen wolves?!"
Everyone abruptly stood up, and Zhongli's expression also darkened.
"Talk as we walk!"
Without waiting for the Millelith to elaborate, Zhongli took the lead, rushing towards the area.
"Wait a moment! I'll grab something!"
With that, Jiang Xuan hurried back to his room. No one knew what he was looking for, but when he emerged, everyone felt that Jiang Xuan was somewhat excited.
However, given the urgency of the situation, no one thought much of it.
Each person grabbed their weapon and rushed towards the location. Ningguang furrowed her brow and asked,
"What's the situation over there? Has anyone been injured?"
The Millelith quickly replied,
"No one has been injured yet. The wooden fence has kept the wolves out. Everyone is just trapped for now."
"Trapped?"
Keqing was a little puzzled and glanced at the Millelith.
"Then how did you escape?"
"Uh..."
The Millelith scratched his head and said softly,
"Well... Mister Zhongli and the Vigilant Yaksha taught us how to dig in the ground."
"Everyone made me some stone shovels and pickaxes, so I dug my way out to report."
"Actually, no one is very scared. There's a lot of wood in the base right now, so everyone can just stand on it and jump up whenever they need to, and the wolves can't reach them."
"It's just that they've been trapped, and there's still a lot of planning that hasn't been completed, so everyone's a bit anxious."
Hearing this, Keqing and Ningguang's expressions softened.
Glancing at Jiang Xuan, Ningguang said proudly,
"I told you, they are all elites."
Jiang Xuan didn't deny it, nodding with a chuckle.
"It's clear. In less than a morning since arriving in this world, they've been able to rationally use the world's characteristics to avoid danger. They are indeed elites."
The praised Millelith smiled shyly.
"Not at all, it's all thanks to the excellent teaching of the Vigilant Yaksha and Mister Zhongli."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone arrived at a relatively deep pit entrance.
The Millelith pointed to it and said softly,
"Esteemed sirs and madams, this is the entrance I dug out. The base is surrounded by wolves and cannot be entered, so please enter from here."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan shook his head and said,
"No need. It's just a dozen wolves; they don't pose much of a threat."
The Millelith was stunned, but remembering there were two adepti and a group of strong individuals present, he didn't say anything more.
"I'll take care of them."
Xiao silently pulled out his trident and nodded to Jiang Xuan.
Keqing also spoke up,
"I'll go with you, Vigilant Yaksha. The wolves in this world might be very different from those in Teyvat, likely more dangerous. It's also a good opportunity for me to test the Lion's Roar with its fire enchantment."
Ganyu took out her bow and arrow, thought for a moment, and said,
"Then I'll cover you both, to prevent any surprise attacks from the wolves."
"Hmm... I, the Director, can also get some exercise! Besides, with so many of us, why should we be afraid of a dozen wolves?!"
As soon as Hu Tao finished speaking, everyone seemed to be reminded of something.
Ningguang frowned slightly, turning to the Millelith and asking,
"Why are sixty of you afraid of a dozen wolves?"
The Millelith's face turned awkward, and he lowered his head apologetically.
"Actually... when we first spotted the wolves, we thought our small squad could handle them."
"But after we went out... one of the wild wolves immediately tore through our armor and weapons."
"One brother even had his arm bitten off. I apologize, Lady Ningguang, those wild wolves were too strong, so we had to temporarily retreat and seek support..."
Hearing this, Ningguang's beautiful brows knitted, and her voice turned cold.
"Since someone was injured! Why did you conceal it when I asked earlier?!"
The pressure from Tianquan surged forth, startling the Millelith, who quickly lowered his head and stammered,
"Lady Ningguang... the injured brothers recovered immediately upon returning, and even the brother whose arm was bitten off regrew his limb after a few minutes..."
"Your subordinate did not intend to conceal anything, it's just that everyone thought these minor matters were not worth bothering you with..."
This Millelith also felt bitter.
Earlier, during the wolf attack, their proud weapons and armor were instantly torn apart. In the end, it was the miners who, wielding wooden swords, saved them.
It was then they realized that their own weapons were inferior to the wooden swords of this world.
It was a sudden attack, combined with their lack of understanding of the situation.
All ten Millelith were injured, and one even had his arm bitten off.
This alone should have incapacitated them.
But what was absurd was...
Because their Satiation was full.
All ten of them recovered in the blink of an eye.
Even the Millelith who had lost an arm regrew it, as if he had never been injured.
The group discussed it and concluded that the battle, though fierce, resulted in no genuine losses.
After retreating from combat, in less than five minutes.
Every single one of them had fully recovered.
The Millelith were stunned, and the miners were stunned too.
They had thought this world was absurd, but they never imagined it was this absurd.
However, they quickly became excited again.
Since injuries would recover as good as new, as long as they weren't instantly killed, what was there to fear?
The sixty individuals immediately agreed, each making a wooden sword, and charging at the wolf pack with shouts.
Then...
They were chased all over the place by the wolf pack and eventually forced back into the fence.
After repeating this four or five times, neither side could get the better of the other. The group of people and the group of wolves stared at each other across the fence.
Both sides had injuries, but since no one was instantly killed, the Liyue folk ate bread to recover.
The wolves ate pigs and chickens to recover.
Both sides were at a stalemate.
The Millelith swore they had never fought such a fierce battle with absolutely no losses.
Finally, they were so cooped up that they couldn't work anymore, so they quickly sent him out for help.
After listening to the Millelith's account, everyone couldn't help but be amused.
What a human-wolf farce!
Jiang Xuan shook his head, laughing.
"Alright, it's good that no one was seriously hurt. The wolves in this world are much stronger than the monsters in your world."
"They've only synchronized part of my physique; they have no armor, and their weapons are just makeshift wooden swords. So, even though there are more people than wolves,"
"A dozen wolves can indeed suppress them."
"There have been no casualties, and injuries are minor."
Since Jiang Xuan had played the mediator, Ningguang and Keqing naturally didn't bother to pursue accountability further.
However, the necessary punishment still stood.
"After you return, each of you will write a self-criticism report and submit it to the General Affairs Department!"
"Yes, Lady Ningguang!"
With the discussion concluded, no one intended to return via the tunnel.
They were much more familiar with the situation than the Millelith who had just arrived today, and they also had more equipment.
To be honest, Ganyu alone, standing on high ground with her bow and arrow, could wipe out all the wolves.
Coincidentally, Ningguang and the others also wanted to use this opportunity to demonstrate to these people how to handle danger.
In their minds, these dozen wolves had already become teaching material.
But Jiang Xuan had other ideas.
As a survivalist in Minecraft, isn't it normal to have a hundred dogs following you around?
Now that he had finally found a dozen wolves, wouldn't it be a waste to kill them?
If they were tamed, they would make perfect big dogs.
Some could stay in the manor as guard dogs, and two could be left at the Teyvat house to guard it.
The rest could patrol the miners' base from time to time.
Wouldn't that be a proper cavalry of patrol dogs?
Anyway, this whole farce resulted in no real losses.
There was no need to kill these wolves, otherwise Jiang Xuan wouldn't have specifically brought bones.
He waved to the Millelith to come over and whispered something in his ear.
Immediately, the Millelith nodded resolutely and said,
"Don't worry, Lord Jiang Xuan! I will inform everyone to complete the mission well!"
With that, the Millelith ran back into the tunnel and returned.
This left Ningguang and the others a bit puzzled. They turned to Jiang Xuan.
"Jiang Xuan, what did you tell him?"
Ganyu asked curiously. Jiang Xuan naturally had no intention of hiding it, and chuckled,
"Nothing, I just told him to go back and arrange for people to help. I want to tame all these wolves into dogs."
"..."
Everyone was silent.
Zhongli, with his six thousand years of knowledge, wanted to tell Jiang Xuan that taming wolves into dogs took generations of effort.
But then he remembered what world they were in, and Zhongli found it perfectly reasonable again.
"That's not a bad idea."
Keqing nodded appreciatively.
"A dozen wolves are not a weak fighting force. We need to go out and explore, and these wolves staying here can, to a certain extent, protect their safety."
Jiang Xuan smiled without speaking, leading everyone cautiously towards the nearby base.
Since the goal was to capture, not kill.
They couldn't startle the wolf pack, otherwise, if they rioted, Jiang Xuan would have to go on a killing spree.
It was a rare find, a wolf pack, and it couldn't be wasted.
The group remained silent as they crept towards the base.
After passing through the last patch of jungle, the area where Liyue's miners had settled in today came into view.
It was an area enclosed by a wooden fence. Although the miners had only been there for less than a morning.
They had even spent a considerable amount of time fighting with the wolves, but now, the buildings were already taking shape.
Of course, as for what these houses looked like...
All that could be said was that Cloud Retainer, who had been quite annoyed at having made herself a coffin, instantly felt her confidence surge!
What was wrong with a coffin?!
A coffin at least had upturned eaves!
The houses these miners made were like matchboxes; at best, they could be called large urns.
She, Cloud Retainer, had at least added some artistic touches and embellishments to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's coffin house.
Regardless of whether it ultimately looked like a coffin, at least there was some skill involved!
Cloud Retainer stood tall, looking like a victorious rooster.
It seemed that while these miners were top-notch workers in Liyue,
they didn't have much architectural talent!
Of course, this was Cloud Retainer's own thought.
For Jiang Xuan, it didn't matter. Matchbox rooms!
Didn't every Block Person start that way?
This was actually quite good. Back when Jiang Xuan first played Minecraft, he spent half a year digging three, filling one.
Houses were inconvenient things that interfered with mining!
"Jiang Xuan, how do we tame these wolves?"
Hiding behind a large tree, everyone looked at the miners and the wolf pack bickering across the fence in the distance.
For a moment, they found it rather amusing.
But Keqing didn't forget the main task and asked Jiang Xuan in a low voice.
"Taming wolves is actually very simple, you just need this."
With that, Jiang Xuan pulled out a stack of bones.
Jiang Xuan had visited the automated Mob Grinder earlier today, and as expected, the trident had dropped.
However, judging by the loot in the chest, it had clearly been operating for quite some time.
This stack of bones was last night's spoils.
However, as Jiang Xuan expected, the moment he took out the bones, everyone instantly looked stunned.
Hu Tao, however, didn't think much of it and said with a chuckle,
"It seems Jiang Xuan's world occasionally respects rules! The big dogs in Liyue Harbor also love eating bones."
With that, Hu Tao took a few bones.
"Hmph! I, the Director, also want to tame some big dogs to guard the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!"
Seeing Hu Tao casually holding and examining the bones, Ganyu was momentarily speechless.
After a long pause, she whispered,
"Hu Tao, do you know what kind of bones these are?"
"Hmm... Not really!"
Hu Tao scratched her cheek and mumbled,
"Although I, the Director, am an expert chef, and have a top-tier Liyue Harbor dish like 'Ghostly Grand March,' when it comes to ingredients, I'm still not as good as Xiangling!"
"No wonder..."
Ningguang nodded thoughtfully, saying softly,
"These are human bones..."
"...?!?!"
