In the end, Stelle still learned the specific possible location of the Cryo Hilichurl Armor King from the few of them and marked it on the map.
Then she set off for the snowy mountain contentedly, while in the Adventurer's camp behind her, a few people stared blankly at her retreating figure.
These people originally didn't want to give her the information, although they had an obligation to share the information they knew with Adventurers who came to defeat monsters.
But similarly, they also had an obligation to stop those hot-headed Adventurers from going to their deaths.
But facing Stelle…
"Sister Yu Xia, why did you give her the information?" Stevens sighed softly, then couldn't help but ask Yu Xia next to him.
He seemed to see a life fading away.
"I, I don't know…" The usually calm and rational Yu Xia was somewhat flustered at this moment.
Just now, Stelle walked up to her, took her hand, and her eyes revealed a determined look.
Yu Xia was instantly speechless.
Then, with just a simple "Trust me" from Stelle, Yu Xia, as if possessed, nodded and divulged all the information she knew.
The people around her watched in stunned silence.
"Sigh, it's meaningless to say more now, let's quickly prepare for a rescue." Yu Xia shook her head, secretly cursing herself for being momentarily bewitched.
Facing that Damselette, she seemed unable to be firm or say anything harsh to dissuade her.
"That's the only way… Speaking of which, is Captain Eula in the snowy mountains recently?" The chef Harris asked.
If Captain Eula was here, then they wouldn't need to worry too much; at least saving that Damselette's life wouldn't be a problem.
"Due to the Dragon Disaster, Captain Eula led a team to clear monsters in other places, so she probably won't be coming to the snowy mountains for a while." Yu Xia shook her head, "Besides, Captain Eula only occasionally comes to the snowy mountains to soak in the hot springs. This time, we can only rely on ourselves."
"I see… Then there's nothing we can do, everyone prepare. Once that Damselette sends out a distress signal, we'll set off immediately!"

"Hehe, it seems this physique still has its benefits." Stelle hummed a tune she had composed herself, with her baseball bat resting on her shoulder.
She could tell that those Adventurers didn't believe her at all, so she went straight for their leader.
Getting physical, literally, without needing to say too much, Yu Xia's reaction was like an innocent little girl, flustered and spilling everything she wanted to know.
Although it was a bit too cunning, there was nothing she could do. Since they were firm, she couldn't force them to speak with harsh methods, could she?
Using a honey trap was a last resort.
"But… this snowy mountain is really cold." Stelle exhaled a puff of cold air, looking at the surrounding white snow.
She hadn't eaten hot food yet, relying solely on her power as a Trailblazer to resist the severe cold.
It might also be because it was nighttime, the temperature here was frighteningly low.
There was still a long distance to the Cryo Hilichurl Armor King's location. If an ordinary person were to come here at night to defeat monsters, this long journey would probably lead to their demise.
"Ya yika!"
"Hmm?" Stelle's eyes sharpened, and she immediately stopped, turning directly and swinging her baseball bat.
The bat hit something. Looking closely, it was an arrow, which she had just knocked away.
"Do Hilichurls not sleep?" Stelle couldn't help but complain.
The Hilichurls in front of her were a type she hadn't seen before.
Including that Samachurl, it seemed to complement the icy and snowy environment, and these guys were surprisingly uniform in color.
Seeing that the attack missed, a few Ice Arrow Hilichurls drew their bows again, ice element condensing on their arrowheads, aiming at Stelle.
The Samachurl next to them also began to dance on the spot, chanting incantations that Stelle couldn't quite understand.
But unfortunately, attacks of this level posed no threat to her.
It was even difficult for them to hit her.
Just as the ice arrows shot towards Stelle, Stelle's feet also moved.
Her speed was too fast for the naked eye to discern. A few ice arrows shot into the ground behind Stelle, exploding into ice flowers.
She herself appeared in front of the Hilichurls in an instant.
The baseball bat first smashed into the Samachurl, preventing its ongoing attack from successfully being released.
Then, with a twist of her body, the bat swept directly across the few neatly standing Ice Arrow Hilichurls.
The few Hilichurls all fell to the ground in just one or two seconds.
If Yu Xia's group had seen Stelle's performance, they might not have been so determined to stop her from entering the snowy mountains.
"Phew~ Good for a warm-up." Stelle swung her bat, then put it back on her shoulder.
After this fight, the slight cold she had felt earlier disappeared.
As a warm-up activity, even though it was only for one or two seconds, it was enough.
The Hilichurls on the ground had dissipated, leaving behind a pile of spoils.
Stelle had always been thrifty, so she naturally took all these items into her possession without hesitation.
After preparing, she continued towards the location of the Cryo Hilichurl Armor King, as told by Yu Xia and the others.
Soon after she left, Rosaria slowly emerged from behind a nearby tree.
"I really underestimated her."
It seemed that even the Cryo Hilichurl Armor King might not be a problem for her.
Amber's worries were completely unnecessary…
Yes, Amber had specifically sought her out. Their acquaintance wasn't deep, but Amber had still gone out of her way to find her for Stelle.
She was afraid something might happen to Stelle and hoped Rosaria could follow.
At the time, Rosaria appeared lazy and unmotivated on the surface, but in reality, even if Amber hadn't come to ask her, Rosaria would have definitely followed herself.
After all, Stelle was an unknown factor for Mondstadt, and she couldn't be left unsupervised.
Of course, another small reason was that he didn't want Ann to get into trouble.
Rosaria was very clear about the danger of the Cryo Hilichurl Armor King. Because Albedo spent years experimenting and tinkering with strange things on Dragonspine, Rosaria often came to Dragonspine to monitor him.
Naturally, he had dealt with one or two Cryo Hilichurl Armor Kings.
Even he had to expend a great deal of effort to deal with such a monster. He truly couldn't help but worry about Ann, who only had that baseball bat.
It wasn't until just now, when he saw Ann effortlessly dealing with that group of Hilichurls in one or two seconds, that he finally felt a little relieved.
Although it was just a group of ordinary Hilichurls, the strength and skill Ann displayed were definitely not something an ordinary person could learn.
Ann's true strength was definitely more than what he saw on the surface.
Of course, he still had to follow him to avoid any accidents.
"What a Damselette full of mysteries..." Rosaria murmured, then continued to chase after Ann.
