Chapter 217 Zootopia
The north wind was howling outside the window, and the tense atmosphere in the cottage became extremely strange without anyone knowing.
I saw a bunch of white wedding dress spreading directly from the snake's head. Not to mention the gazes of the people around, after putting on the wedding dress, the leading snake-faced player's face turned almost as green as a bamboo leaf green snake.
[Ding——Congratulations on becoming the future bride of the prince of the neighboring country. Put on your crystal shoes and start your happy life. ]
Those companions who were previously ordered to retreat now don't know whether to advance or retreat.
There was a blizzard outside, and without the leader's skills to lead the way, they couldn't go back at all. But if they stayed, wouldn't they have to attend the leader's wedding? And he was the bride.
There were several Snake players around, their faces flushed red, and they obviously wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"What on earth are you…"
It would have been fine if the leader didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, the wedding march inexplicably sounded in the air around him.
Amid the sound of dangdangdang music, even though his scales were about to explode, he couldn't utter a single harsh word.
[At the end of a beautiful fairy tale, the bride and groom, the prince and the princess always live happily together. Please exchange vows, complete the wedding, and end Cinderella's fairy tale! ]
[Please note that the relatives and friends of both parties at the wedding should coexist peacefully. The fairy tale ends with laughter and joy~]
Cinderella herself was behind, carrying a huge stick of firewood, and everyone was stunned.
Wait, he’s the bride, so I leave?
But wouldn't it be -
Doesn't it mean that she doesn't have to do anything and just wait until the fairy tale plot is completed, then she can safely get rid of Cinderella's identity of having to clean the house every day?
Yay!
She took a big step and sat down on the wooden chair tied with a white ribbon. Seeing her smiling face, she seemed to be eager to give her blessings to the newlyweds.
"Captain Feng, we are now..."
The last member of the Snake team, holding the unconscious novelist with one hand, looked at his team leader, who was already wearing a wedding dress, with a look of help.
The math teacher and the aunt who runs the mahjong parlor were both controlled by those naughty kids. The novelist committed suicide and was killed in the battle. The team leader was getting married soon, and now there was only one Snake player in the room who could move freely.
But opposite him were the ferocious-looking Grandma Wolf and Snow White, as well as ten dwarfs who silently crawled out from under the bed, holding either durian or canned herrings in their hands, and none of them looked easy to mess with.
Although Snow White quickly glared at the dwarf holding the can of herrings, the situation was basically decided.
Feng Huan's face twitched again and again, but he was completely unable to move away.
No, even if he is trapped here and has to follow the plot, he has to let his teammates escape. The fairy-tale characters in this house, especially this damn prince who doesn't play by the rules and whose name is Qiao Song, must have a big problem with his identity!
He struggled for a while but couldn't even turn around. He could only watch the prince in front of him holding a chainsaw, approaching him step by step.
Feng Huan gritted his teeth and decided to burn his boats.
A strange wooden box suddenly fell to the ground, briefly attracting the attention of everyone present. Everyone in the house paused, as if they were frozen puppets.
[Ding——Special stage is being generated]
【Shrine and puppet set】
[A puppet show only requires a puppeteer with a group of puppets to attract everyone's attention. All members are your puppets and tools for your performance. Even if the puppeteer stands still, he can still operate the puppets and complete a wonderful performance. ]
Feng Huan knew that he couldn't move, but all he wanted was the control function to control his teammates!
In an instant, numerous invisible thin lines appeared on all the people present, including on the tables, chairs and benches, leading to the sky, as if there was an invisible hand that could control all the living things present at any time.
But this skill is not omnipotent. The appearance of silk threads does not mean that the operation is successful.
Feng Huan already felt a huge resistance coming from his hands, as if as long as he dared to use the strings to manipulate certain specific people around him, he would suffer a huge backlash.
This has never happened before.
This also indirectly shows how difficult it is to deal with these guys in the house.
But fortunately, his purpose this time was not to control the enemy, but to control his teammates.
The only Snake player who was still free felt his whole body stiffen, and special structures only found in puppets appeared in his mouth and joints.
"Go to the central square to inform Lord Sishe! Take that fellow Jing Hongyan away as well!"
Feng Huan roared like a hero cutting off his own arm. He decided to sacrifice himself and stay to marry a certain demon, so as to buy time for his companions and find reinforcements to defeat the demon as soon as possible...
Fortunately, Lord Snake helped him awaken the shrine, not only to boost morale and let the team members not be afraid of death, but also to use the puppet show set to fight for survival for others at the critical moment.
Isn't it just getting married in women's clothes? Once the fairy tale is over, the identities of the characters around them will definitely be eliminated, which means that they will have fewer skills, which is not entirely a bad thing.
It's just a marriage.
Feng Huan closed his eyes in pain, no longer looking at the white veil hanging above his head, and just waited for his teammates to escape so that he could complete the wedding.
But after waiting for a few seconds, he only heard the creaking sound of wood being cut.
etc……
Feng Huan opened his eyes and saw a scene that almost made his eyes burst.
The prince who was about to marry her had regained his ability to move at some point.
She held an electric saw and began to cut the shrine of Feng Huan's wooden set without changing her expression.
Feng Huan was so frightened that his soul almost jumped out of his throat: "Why can you move!?"
After he summons the shrine and uses the puppet show skill, except for his own puppet in the audience that can move briefly, everyone present, including himself, should be unable to move and can only stay on the stage as puppets.
"Xiang Hongliang, why don't you run away! What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"
The one called Xiang Hongliang is the only member of the Snake team who can move freely at present, and he also has the novelist on his shoulder.
He opened his mouth slowly but couldn't utter a word. He could only turn around, revealing his back which was already covered with four or five children crawling like bugs.
Among them was a little girl, who was laughing and strangling his neck tightly.
Xiang Hongliang’s skill is that of a folk singer, but now he can’t even shout for help, let alone sing.
At the end of ten minutes, the ghost children had regained their freedom and were instantly crawling all over the place, looking for people to play with at the call of Cinderella's teacher.
At the innermost part of the hut, the dwarfs would shout "Don't be cowards" when they saw the invasion of the snake, and they were so scared that they wanted to crawl back under the bed.
It can be seen that they themselves are very afraid of the ghost children summoned by their teammates.
Qiao Song, like a skilled carpenter, took the opportunity to kick the puppet shrine in half.
There seemed to be a silent thunder in the air.
Her cross-dressing wife, who had not yet married into the family, suddenly fell to her knees with a splitting headache, screaming in pain.
Qiao Song even said "Hmm?"
"Isn't this a Western-style wedding? There's also the etiquette of the couple bowing to each other? Let me make it clear first, I don't want to bow."
Feng Huan, the leader of the Sishe team, was now completely filled with fear.
Severe pain and all kinds of doubts filled his heart. He couldn't understand why someone could split the shrine.
That was the fragment of the shrine that Lord Sishe gave to him personally, and it was once part of Sishe himself.
With this kind of thing, if it weren't for Maotu's territory, he could even take the initiative to create games!
How could such a symbol of ability between players and NPCs on the infinite road be so vulnerable?
Qiao Song used an electric saw to break the two wooden boxes in half and saw the densely packed small objects inside, which looked a bit like small sculptures.
She touched it with her hand, and suddenly, the sculptures in the box, as well as the wooden box itself, all collapsed like grains of sand.
Qiao Song shrank her hand. She wanted to praise the craftsmanship of these puppets and thought of making one for the boys and girls, but why did they melt when she touched them? She was thinking about whether she should explain that she didn't mean it, when she heard a system prompt.
[Ding——Congratulations on successfully obtaining 1/50 of the zodiac energy in other areas! Warm reminder, before starting the zodiac ranking, successfully killing all players in the other area who have zodiac shrine fragments is also another way to challenge other areas! ]
It turns out this is possible.
Qiao Song absorbed the drizzle energy just now, which was better than nothing.
Feng Huan, on the other hand, was kneeling on the ground with a dull expression.
He just heard a system prompt that his shrine fragments were directly plundered as trophies by the zodiac signs in another area.
Plundered, plundered by the zodiac.
Chinese Zodiac……
What's in front of him is a Chinese zodiac sign? !
Feng Huan looked up suddenly, but through the white gauze he only saw a person with a blurry and blurry face.
Sometimes it was as hot as a burning fireball, and sometimes it was like a piece of eternal ice, which made him feel terrified. He didn't even see the last person in the team who was about to be strangled to death by a child asking Hongliang for help.
Fortunately, the child would not actually kill anyone, after all, the kindergarten teacher was watching next to him.
"Children, please sit down. The wedding is about to begin. Please don't make any noise. Everyone will get some wedding candy after the wedding is over, okay?"
The ghost kids with pale faces and bloody eyes said happily yes when they heard about eating wedding candy, but they did not completely climb down from the players they were entangled with.
The children pulled the Snake players, used them as mounts, lay on their backs, and tossed them to the chairs near the dining table.
After eating the small fragment, although the energy was not much, the animal outline of Qiao Song's face did change slightly, and a few scales appeared at the end of his eyes.
Soon, her face returned to its previous human appearance.
She still prefers it this way.
The players of the Rabbit World are in the least animalized world in the area that Qiao Song has walked through. After all, there are all kinds of fairy tales here, and if everyone looks like a rabbit, it would be difficult to write the story.
In fairy tale role-playing games, there is also the existence of Grandma Wolf. You can't let players have both wolf ears and rabbit ears.
Of course the wedding will go on after the bride stops making trouble and trying to escape.
Qiao Song's clothes were also changed into a modified version of the combination of platinum knight's suit and western suit.
She pulled the hair in front of her forehead back and tied it gently at the back, revealing her handsome facial features which were originally relatively neutral.
Compared to the burly and haggard cross-dressing man opposite him, Qiao Song looked very heroic, so heroic that Bai Xue beside him silently held her face in her hands and said infatuatedly: "Being handsome is really just a feeling, not a gender!"
Qiao Song: "Okay, control the others. The restraining order will probably be lifted after the wedding."
After this wedding, at least the identities of Cinderella and Grandma Wolf as the fairy godmother can be removed.
Grandma Wolf sighed: "The main thing is that the Fairy Godmother can only change people's clothes. You have to find pumpkins first to turn into a magic pumpkin carriage. Otherwise, this skill is actually quite useful."
Not to mention Cinderella, in addition to improving the efficiency of cleaning, this identity card gives her a strange hiding skill. For example, when she is being chased, it is difficult for the other party to discover her whereabouts.
However, it is difficult to use in a small hut and is more suitable for large-scale escape operations.
This was a wedding that neither party was willing to attend, especially the tall bride, who had gone from being full of shame for having a snake head on her head to now looking fearful, as if her marriage was being kidnapped.
The wedding process was also quite sloppy. There was only a fairy tale book floating in the air. It appeared out of nowhere and recited the clichéd vows. Finally, two sparkling jewel rings flew down from the sky.
"When you put the ring on each other's finger, the wedding is complete and the story ends happily."
The storybook that suddenly appeared glowed slightly. Qiao Song glanced at the book and squinted his eyes.
She could understand the forced execution of the wedding to complete the final plot of the story. She had almost ignored the vows anyway, and it wasn't a real marriage.
But this ring is not right.
Feng Huan on the opposite side grabbed the jewel ring floating in the air, his hands trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was not brave enough to let Qiao Song put it on.
"Give me the ring, you don't have to wear it."
As soon as the boss opposite who looked like the zodiac animal spoke, Feng Huan put the ring into the other's hand without hesitation, like throwing a hot potato.
Qiao Song didn't give the other ring to Feng Huan. She just stared at the storybook in the sky and said, "The ceremony is over. Shouldn't it be over now?"
After turning a few pages of the glowing book whose cover could not be seen clearly, a childish voice suddenly floated out from inside:
"We need to exchange rings. You are a prince, so you must give half of your power and wealth to the other person. This is the final step to complete the marriage..."
"There are marriage laws in your fairy tales? Which page does it say? Show me."
The childish words in the fairy tale book paused for a moment, and then he really started turning the pages: "I think so. Fairy tales must be rigorous."
Qiao Song was quick-witted and grabbed it while the other person was turning the page.
The book was like a pigeon with its tail pulled. It fluttered and tried to fly, but it was too late.
Qiao Song pressed it tightly to the ground and saw the ending of the fairy tale that had appeared on it. The illustration next to it was of Cinderella wearing crystal shoes and finally marrying the prince.
The moment this scene appeared in the book, she felt her clothes become lighter.
The real Cinderella, the wolf grandmother who was acting as a part-time godmother, and even Feng Huan who was temporarily captured to get married and forced to wear glass slippers, all the fairy-tale items on their bodies turned into balls of light and flew towards the book.
The colorful illustrations in the book became clearer and clearer until they turned into a spot of light and disappeared in Qiao Song's hands.
Qiao Song could see a strange pigeon flying away in the ball of light.
It seemed as if they were afraid that if they were slow, they would be left behind and stewed into pigeon soup.
Bai Xue poked her head aside and asked, "Boss, is the pigeon you just caught a prop?"
Qiao Song shook her head and opened her palm, revealing a mini crystal shoe pendant.
[The Crystal Slipper]
[No matter who you want to track, just put one of the crystal shoes on any limb of the other person, whether it is a finger, a foot, or even a hair. Even if the other person runs to the ends of the earth and disguises himself in any way, you can still find him/her. ]
This skill introduction sounds like a pervert.
In the fairy tale, how can we say that Cinderella, who was searched all over the country by the prince for just one dance, did not run into a pervert? This shoe fits the story setting quite well.
Qiao Song looked at Feng Huan who was still half-kneeling in front of him and asked, "Why, do you still want to continue the ceremony?"
Feng Huan opened his lips slightly, and finally swallowed back his dry negotiating words.
This person's identity was much more important than he had originally imagined. As a player of the Snake, he had to, he had to - huh? What about the mark planted by the Snake?
Feng Huan got rid of the splitting headache he had felt since he lost the shrine, and soon realized with a dull look in his eyes that a brand-like pattern in his mind and on the back of his hand had disappeared.
It was an Ouroboros icon, and also the soul imprint of the Snake player. As long as this imprint was successfully placed on players from other realms, their zodiac attributes could be forcibly changed, turning them into players from the Snake realm.
Feng Huan was still frightened, so he remained silent for the time being. However, the two members behind him who were forcibly pulled in suddenly spoke up.
"Girl, can you help me check if there is still a snake mark on my neck?"
The aunt who had opened 10 mahjong tables at once suddenly softened her tone and took the initiative to greet Bai Xue.
Bai Xue, who was always holding an apple pie in her hand, looked at her suspiciously and paused for two seconds: "It seems not."
Not only the brand, she felt that some of the snake-like features on the aunt's head were also fading away rapidly.
The teahouse aunt, whose face was filled with joy, burst into laughter: "You idiot team leader, you got married so well!" He ended up leaving the house with nothing.
Not only that, the math teacher next to him and even the novelist who fainted earlier, the snake-like features on their faces were slowly fading away.
Qiao Song looked away and looked at Feng Huan in front of him: "It seems that the Si Snake's territory does not welcome losers?"
Feng Huan felt mixed emotions. As soon as he was silent, Qiao Song understood: "It is said that the ability of the Snake is to devour, but now it seems more like reproduction? You expand your team by devouring players from other fields, right?"
Feng Huan didn't say anything. After the shrine was broken, his space props were gone, and the doll box that was originally bound to it was also damaged. Now Chun Chun was just a powerless prisoner.
He seemed to be divorced just after getting married, and was tied up by Qiao Song with a net bag.
Xiang Hongliang, who had been trying to sing but was strangled by the child who covered his mouth and choked him, looked at Qiao Song with horror as he walked towards him step by step, and soon tied him up.
The remaining three people were tied up and placed aside like the unconscious novelist and pigs to be slaughtered.
Although Qiao Song was not really getting married, he took out handfuls of colorful candies and chocolates from the toolbox and distributed them to the ghost children around him to prevent them from harassing the frightened dwarves.
The food she gave usually had a bit of yin energy, and these naughty kids suddenly became as well-behaved as anything and stopped running around, leaving the kindergarten teacher standing by wanting to say something but stopping herself. If she had known it was so easy for the boss to coax the kids, she would have almost taken a big sack and wholesaled some with Qiao Song.
The math teacher and the teahouse auntie who regained their freedom, one looked embarrassed, the other was smiling happily.
The math teacher was obviously not from the Rabbit sector. After his animal characteristics of the Snake disappeared, a few thin mustaches appeared on his face, making him look like a mouse.
The aunt in the teahouse didn't show any animal characteristics, so she might be native to the Rabbit.
"Oh, I was selling tea under the bridge in the story of the White Snake, but I was kidnapped by these bastards and forced to become one of their family members. Who would have known, hahaha. It seems that they were kicked out of their home, right?"
The aunt in the teahouse explained the route of Feng Huan and his team. It seemed that they had passed through a large area of Rabbit. Their mission, in addition to eliminating the prince who disrupted the story line, was to convert a large number of local players into Snake players and use them as consumables.
Bai Xue looked curious: "Auntie, does the Legend of the White Snake appear in fairy tales?"
The aunt thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about that. Maybe as long as the story has been turned into a cartoon, it will appear. Fairy tales are not only found in foreign countries. Our elders wrote many fairy tales. Last time I saw an Avatar riding a donkey."
Bai Xue grinned: "Hahaha, it should be Afanti. I also watched this when I was a child."
The aunt in the teahouse was quite talkative. As soon as she saw that she had become family again with these people, she immediately told them all the information she knew about the Central Fairy Tale City.
"The city is in chaos, with all kinds of fairy tale characters fighting each other. Foreign fairy tales are easy to clear, as long as there's a prince and princess together, the story ends."
"When I left last time, Chentang Pass was already flooded. It was the snake that came from outside. It somehow messed up the stories and swallowed up many children in those mythological stories. Now it's almost turned into a big dragon. Then it merged with Western stories, saying that only special identities can kill it. Maotu was still writing storybooks to fill in the gaps, but our own mythological story system is too complicated, and it will collapse if we write any story."
"How did you say that? We can't have magic soldiers falling from the sky, or supernatural powers. Fairy tales must have the logic of fairy tales. So the Rabbit took away all the powerful stories from our country, leaving only the less lethal stories from the West. So the dragon, oh no, it was a snake, which was about to ascend to become a dragon, and regressed to the appearance of a Western dragon covered with black bumps."
Qiao Song imagined the scene and thought that Western dragons were not necessarily ugly. The little black dragon's big belly was quite cute, like a puppy, purring.
She asked, "She wrote all the stories about the Rabbit Realm herself?"
Auntie nodded. "Before the invasion, the most popular professions in our field were novelists, cartoonists, and fairy tale writers. After the invasion, the foreign snakes used our stories to rise step by step, and they almost succeeded in the mythology and turned from snakes into dragons. When they really turned into dragons, tsk tsk."
The aunt took a sip of tea and obviously felt that the current situation of Rabbit was still not optimistic.
No wonder they are chasing the prince everywhere, it seems that the Snake does not want to let the Rabbit escape from this simple story and wants to consume the other party.
After all, the Rabbit guy even took the initiative to point out a way to kill the Snake.
Just kill the snake like you would slay a dragon. This is the most commonly used setting in Western fairy tales.
Coincidentally, Qiao Song has such a dragon-slaying sword.
She even suspected that this rabbit had written the script for the Fairy Tale Kingdom in the Screaming Game Hall before. It felt like the plot had been designed in advance and the rabbit was just waiting for Qiao Song to help.
Qiao Song's feeling was correct. In a brightly lit study in the central city, Maotu at this moment looked like a frustrated writer who had to work on a manuscript until the middle of the night, grabbing his rabbit ears and writing furiously.
The floor was littered with open books and discarded manuscripts that turned into pigeons and fluttered about.
"Damn it! How can this story be completed? How can these foreshadowing bugs be resolved? A good story city has been turned into a fairy tale match-3 game. How come this damn snake is so much harder to beat than before? It uses all kinds of dirty tricks. It even invades other people's stories to put on a dragon skin. Do you want to ascend to heaven through my story? Bah! I'll give you the entire mythology system. Go to the West and be your useless dragon."
"Tsk, a snake that's a scoundrel, why is he always thinking about turning himself into a dragon? Has he had this symptom before? Isn't this a deviation from the instinct of a snake? Is he trying to replace that guy Chen Long?"
The cooing pigeons around, looking at the rabbit in the middle who was almost going crazy, were quickly transformed into other fairy tales with simple logic and less lethality under her writing.
The most common settings here are princes and brave men. Maotu deliberately did not write the gender. After all, a brave man does not necessarily have to be a boy. The ending of a storybook that just flew back also wrote that the prince who got married this time was a girl, who forced a burly male princess to marry.
It’s a pity that even in the finished storybook, the real name of the role-playing character would not be written, otherwise she would know that this was Qiao Song.
As Rabbit picked up the pen to write, his eyes, which were red from staying up late, flickered, and he felt something was wrong.
Snakes and dragons are indeed very similar in some aspects, but when the Dragon heard that the Tiger was about to fight, the Snake's actions at this time really seemed like it was covering for the Dragon, which was a bit unreasonable.
"Could it be that the old dragon and the snake teamed up to trick me?"
"Aren't they mortal enemies? It shouldn't be that serious..."
The little rabbit drew a few crosses on the snake's head in hatred, and drew a female knight with a sword next to it.
"…I'm counting on you to save me. Please come and eat the snake soup."
The author has something to say:
Rabbit: Go get married as many times as in Western fairy tales! Marry a few male wives and use up all the vitality of the Snake!
Qiao Song:?
crow:? ? ?
Crow: No, why do these snakes do that?!
