Chapter 1011: The Stand-in's Stand-in, Deceiving Flower Mimicry

Jiang Yi's real body lowered his head and looked at the figure below from the top of the snow-capped mountain.

I originally wanted to use the fake Albedo to test everyone's ability to distinguish between real and fake characters, but it seems that after so many days, the fake Albedo hasn't achieved any results.

This trial is totally unnecessary.

After all, it was indeed a bit difficult for the fake Albedo to copy the jade slip in such a short time.

But doesn't he have any other options or tricks?

"The opportunity has been given, but you are so incompetent!" His figure disappeared on the top of the snowy mountain. The premise of the trial is that other people are not injured. The opponent has already revealed the murderous intent, so at least the hand that is extended cannot be held back.

He accepted the source of power of this Ice Flower.

After some processing, it can be used to train the Snow Boy.

……

"Jiang Yi just left like that? Didn't he intend to use us to lure the snake out of its hole from the beginning?" Paimeng touched his chin, very suspicious.

"Everyone, is anyone hurt?" Albedo asked with concern.

"No! Whether it was the avalanche before or the battle later, Jiang Yi's power has been protecting us." Amber waved her hand.

For some reason, she missed Jiang Yi, who once needed her protection.

Even the Qiuqiu people couldn't defeat Jiang Yi.

Although Jiang Yi can give people a great sense of security now, the feeling of himself, a scout knight senior, becoming a junior is still too subtle.

There is a discouraged feeling of being unwanted.

I was too embarrassed to act like a little girl when interacting with him.

In this respect, I am a little envious of the lovely and shining Barbara and the caring Noelle.

"Is this the fake Albedo you were talking about?" Eula frowned and said, "His power is very dangerous..."

"It doesn't feel right!" Paimon scratched his head. "Why is he a human at one moment and a plant at another... What on earth is he?"

"The stand of the stand..." Fischl guessed confidently, "The flower blooming in the abyss!"

"Abyss?" Mona looked at Fischl, who always talked nonsense but unexpectedly sounded true from a certain perspective.

"..." Albedo looked at the snowy ground filled with chill air. "As you can see, it is an extremely rare mutant Liarflower."

Paimon asked: "Can the flower-like flower turn into a human?"

"Normally not!" Albedo replied, "But this is the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, the situation is rather special."

"That's right! Such a dragon can be born!" Bennett remembered the disaster of dragons he had heard of before, which was almost as terrible as the one five hundred years ago.

"Hmm! The dragon blood accumulated in this land is transmitted to monsters through the earth veins, causing them to mutate rapidly." Albedo said, "For example, after it was resurrected from a dead state last time, the ominous frozen tree continued to revive after being killed again and again. This ice flower may also... be the reason!"

"It's so scary." Amber said, "When I came to the snowy mountains to look for Eula before, I always went to a few fixed places and never encountered these strange dangers."

"The snowy mountains are vast. If the temperature is higher and it's safer, without so many dangers, the scenery is actually very beautiful." Ying said, "Things like this don't happen often. Amber, don't be too afraid."

"Yes!" Eula said, "Be careful but don't be afraid. You need to be careful to discover what's under the ice, whether it's a danger or a beautiful scenery."

"If we can turn the climate of the snowy mountains into spring and keep the snow, it would actually be very suitable for tourism." Mona said, "This is the first time I have stayed in the snowy mountains for so long! I found a lot of things that impressed me!"

"The snowy mountain is just a snowy scene in my back garden in this desolate world." Fischl put her hands on her hips. Mondstadt was her back garden, and the snowy mountain was just a part of it. She had nothing to be afraid of.

"Why did the topic suddenly become light-hearted?" Paimeng spread his hands.

Albedo looked into the distance: "The body of the demon dragon Durin is hidden in this snowy mountain. If life phenomena beyond imagination can appear somewhere on the continent, it is most likely here."

"Dulin is a miraculous life form created by humans. Its existence proves countless possibilities. The snowy mountain we are in is essentially a nest of the mysteries of life... a huge and terrifying hotbed."

"Five hundred years gave birth to countless mysteries hidden under the ice, and also gave birth to that... dragon that could dissolve space and fly with its wings flapping."

"This new dragon took away most of the nutrients in the hotbed, and gathered many unwilling dreams and the last wishes of civilization in a way beyond imagination. Regardless of the past, the danger of the snow mountain will actually be reduced in the future."

Ying and Paimeng were helpless.

There was really no mention of Jiang Yi in every sentence, every sentence was about Jiang Yi.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yi is the biggest terror in the snow mountain right now.

Still working hard to improve myself.

It is totally unimaginable what kind of monster Jiang Yi will be a hundred years later!

"The previous accidents were also caused by this impostor!" Eula said, "I saw you secretly instructing Fischl, and then Fischl directly asked Oz to go to the top of the mountain to check, exposing the impostor. It seems that you have already noticed something."

"Well! It should be aimed at me and the people I have dealt with." Albedo said.

"What is its purpose?" Amber wondered.

"A stand-in, it's a stand-in! The pitiful creature wants to gain life under the sun." Fischl emphasized his guess at the right time.

Albedo nodded: "Yeah, that's my guess!"

"The Trickster is a creature that is good at mimicry. The Tricksters we encounter in the wild often appear around the mimicked creature."

"That is to say, it is very likely that its instinct is to 'get closer to the prototype and replace it.'"

Paimon felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.

The scam that we usually use sounds so scary at this moment!

Albedo continued: "When it is a plant, it will disguise itself as other plants and join their group as a cover. The simulated plants will not notice and will have no way to resist this behavior."

"But when it's disguised as a human...it might want to replace the mimic's original form and join the human race."

Mona crossed her arms and said, "Fortunately, we are not plants! It really underestimates our human wisdom!"

"Yes!" Albedo said, "It has been observing us and learning from us."

"But after it approached in disguise, it found that it was accidentally exposed because of the communication jade slip. It had no way to learn and make this thing... Maybe it killed everyone who saw it, then got the jade slip and replaced the mimicry prototype to keep its secret."

Mona said: "The Liar Flower is said to be a plant, but in fact it is very cruel. It disguises itself, hunts, and even replaces a large area of ​​Sweet Flowers."

Paimon put his hand on his chest and said, "Indeed, Ying and I often encounter situations where the three sweet flowers are actually three deceiving flowers."

"Well, it does fit the habit of the Liarflower," Eula said, "but it approached and attacked Joel... Was it a drill?"

"Perhaps," Albedo said, "Or perhaps...it also finds it interesting to mimic a human being, and wants to experience what it's like to be a human being."

"Fortunately, we found it in time." Youla said, "But besides the jade slip, do we have any other way to find it?"

"Yes!" Ying said, "In addition to the jade slip, there is another strange place."

"Ah? What is it?" Bennett said, "I saw him just now, and I can't tell any difference between him and Albedo."

Ying pointed: "The fake one has no stars on his neck."

Everyone looked at Albedo.

"Yes, that's how it is..." Albedo nodded, "This mutant Trickster has been as close to the original as possible, but it still missed some details. It can be seen that... it is very difficult to mimic a human."

"If there are stars, then do we have to use other methods to distinguish them?" Mona thought carefully, "Fate? Divination? Or some kind of feeling?"

"With the Eye of Judgment, I can see through the inverted truth and falsehood." Fischl boasted.

"But even with this flaw, it's incredible," Amber said, "The possibility of a snowy mountain is terrifying!"

Mona actually still has doubts.

The fake one I saw this time was obviously different from the last time. Would the change of the cheating flower also be unstable? But Jiang Yi and Albedo seemed to have decided to put the blame on this cheating flower.

"Then this crisis is over! Bad luck is gone, and good luck is coming." Bennett said with a chuckle, "Jiang Yi said that we can go down the mountain smoothly. His blessing must be right."

"Also, snowman brother! Won't you melt when you go down the mountain?" He patted the snow boy.

The snow boy sparkled in the sun, and his body contained particles of the power of eternal ice, so naturally he would not melt.

Just as Bennett said, everyone got down the mountain safely.

However, Mr. Serius, the president of the Adventurer's Association at the foot of the mountain, was not there, so Fischl and Bennett, who came down the mountain to help, could only wait here for a while.

Although the number of instructors exceeded the limit before, the activity has not ended yet. There are still new adventurers coming from other areas of Mondstadt, and the demand for instructors continues to grow.

Mona is now also a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and reluctantly stays to help.

"I am an unlucky person, but I often meet kind people." Bennett said, "When I receive favors from others, no matter how many times I encounter them, I will always remember them in my heart. I can't take it for granted just because everyone cares about me. But I often worry about how to repay them!"

He scratched his head with a smile. They chatted for a long time on the way: "Albedo said that turning this gratitude into help for others is a kind of goodwill transmission. Today, let's start by helping the novice adventurers! I have received Jiang Yi's kindness, and I should not endanger my teammates again."

Amber and Eula looked at the bruised Bennett and turned their heads away reluctantly.

On the way, Bennett was crawling and rolling alone. He was first hit by a broken branch due to heavy snow, then he slipped on the ice on the slope and fell into an ice hole. He was then hit by a snow mountain animal... What a miserable life.

Force cannot defeat fate, and all kinds of misfortunes are coming, which are hard to guard against.

Bennett smiled and waved his hand: "No big deal, I've encountered avalanches of that magnitude before. It's no big deal. It will only temper my will and body, like a burning fire... Haha!"

He pumped his fist.

Bird shit fell from the sky.

The Snow Boy stayed behind, disguised as a snowman, waiting to surprise or scare Joel?

Paimon, Ying and Albedo returned to the snow mountain camp.

Some things should be said in places with few people.

In the camp.

The ominous and extremely cold red crystal has a strange humic property that can devour the vitality of the holder. If an ordinary person touches it, he will die soon.

There is also a foul power on it that can drive people crazy.

Jiang Yi placed it in a glass bottle, added a seal, and used various methods to make the crystal stone capable of being carried by the Snow Boy without polluting his mind.

"I'm back!" On the shelf in front of his desk were bottles of different solutions, high-quality relics, and ancient instruments.

The whole person has entered the state of a research scholar.

"Well! Do you want to listen to a story together?" Albedo invited.
