The world of beauty drama begins with the surrender of Jason

Chapter 483 Mission
In the open space surrounded by several ancient red pines, the white frost and snow arched up half a person's height, just like an irregular hill.

And a few feet below, thick, intertwined dead branches formed walls and ceiling, firmly keeping the cold out and creating a secret and warm nest.

The round eyeballs are bright and sparkling, embedded in the chubby little face, like two shiny obsidians.

The huge fangs, which are far larger than those of humans, fly up and down, making a clicking sound. With just a slight tap, the hard fruit shell shatters like a thin piece of paper, revealing the delicious and tempting natural gift inside.

The plump hazelnuts are crispy and delicious, giving off a refreshing aroma of vegetable oils as you chew them, tempting your appetite and making you want to join in on the snack party.

But the onlookers had no time to focus on such trivial matters. Zhu Mingyao's eyes at this moment had been wandering on a piece of shiny brown fur since a while ago.

The fat rodent chattered incessantly, but that did not stop its little paws from bringing food to its mouth.

"Thank you, Mrs. French."

Sitting on a rough little round stool carved from a tree stump, Zhu Mingyao accepted another refill of herbal tea from another similar creature and nodded with an effortless smile.

That's right, after he followed the strange half-goat man Duna to the hidden house, he discovered that the so-called Mr. Winston and Mrs. French were actually this pair of otters.

"…If you want to save this country, you must defeat the Ice Witch. If you want to defeat the Ice Witch, you must revive the guardian of the country, the Lion King Aslan. If you want to revive the guardian of the country…"

"We have to find the four exiled wise kings first!" Zhu Mingyao rubbed his temples tiredly, and continued the second half of the sentence by heart.

Even though he was a supernatural being, his mental state wasn't much better after being bombarded with the same old words dozens of times.

The only thing that allowed him to persevere through such torture was the valuable information he gained from many experiments.

First, neither the goat man Duna who led him here, nor the otter couple who appeared later, were living creatures of flesh and blood. Their existence was similar to the projection of changing rules, and they would only operate according to the set logic.

To put it in layman's terms, it is similar to the NPCs in old-style RPGs.

Second, the witch they said intended to control this space should be the power of the two invading demons, and now the creatures transformed by the rules of space seem to be asking for help from them.

After sorting out the causes and consequences, Zhu Mingyao thought of the fighting scenes between the two sides he saw earlier, and had a vague guess in his heart.

He thought for a moment, then said carefully: "Then how can I help you?"

Winston the Otter, who was still delivering fixed lines, immediately stopped talking, his expression stiffly changing into one of excitement and joy:
"Brave stranger, please come this way."

It swung its big furry tail, tore a piece of dry bark from the wall, took out a dusty sheepskin scroll and spread it out.

On the yellow-brown parchment, which has been worn by time and is mottled, mountains, forests, plains and hideous monsters are depicted with faded ink.

Four mysterious symbols are marked with glittering silver paint, pointing to four different corners of the kingdom.

"Look here, brave stranger." Mr. Otter moved his little paws along the dotted line, danced with joy, and explained carefully.

"Four exiled wise kings are hiding in four secret places to avoid being hunted down by the evil witch. Please rescue them one by one."

The goat man Duna clenched his fists eagerly, "As long as we gather them together and summon the Lion King back..."

"Okay, okay, I got it, no need to say more." Seeing that he was about to talk at length again, Zhu Mingyao quickly interrupted him and made a pause gesture like shooing away a fly. Since he had figured out the behavior patterns of these characters, and he was not a stupid netizen in the future, he did not have the leisure to tease AI.

Zhu Mingyao glanced around indifferently and chose a place at random.

"Let's choose this one. It looks like it's the closest." With a flick of his finger, thin, light-gold cursive letters trembled on a simple jungle icon.

His action seemed to trigger some mechanism, and the map suddenly began to vibrate slightly.

Then there was a burst of white light, and Zhu Mingyao felt a flash before his eyes. The surrounding scenery quickly twisted and decomposed like paint thrown into water, as if he was sucked into a whirlpool.

"Does it come with direct teleportation to the mission location? This automatic guidance service is really thoughtful, very much like a certain goose..." Amid the complaints, the young man disappeared.

The fluctuations of space transfer gradually subsided, and the cellar hut was silent. The otter couple and the goat man who had been cheering just now suddenly stopped moving, and the excited expressions froze on their faces, as if they had turned into a lifeless sculpture.

Then, their bodies melted and collapsed like ice, and dots of green light like fireflies rose up and slowly condensed into a ball...

……

……

Although he had already opened the eyes and ears in the Huangting inner scene, he did not have the ability to truly see and hear like an immortal. Zhu Mingyao had no idea of ​​the changes that would take place after he left, and he could only try to concentrate on traveling through the chaos.

The entangled images of various colors faded away, and when his vision became clear again, he was already in a deep and dense forest.

A light mist permeates the air, touching the skin and bringing a slightly cool and moist feeling.

The densely packed shingle-like arrangement of needles on the branches of the tall black pines interweaves into a thick dark green canopy, leaving only tiny gaps for sunlight to shine through, casting sporadic bright spots on the ground, just like the farthest stars in the night sky.

“Compared to the automatic navigation, which saves players the effort of running around the map, the specific tasks lack clear guidance, so this point deserves a bad review.” Zhu Mingyao said with a sigh, and his voice seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet forest.

"There's not even a golden exclamation mark. Where can we find information about the hidden wise king?"

Just as he was muttering to himself jokingly, there was a faint tremor in the soil beneath his feet, as if something was approaching quickly.

The uninvited guests arrived very quickly, and a long wolf howl accompanied by the sound of bushes breaking broke the tranquility of the forest.

But within just a few seconds, a nimble black shadow wrapped in a fishy smell suddenly rushed out from the swaying shadows of the trees, with its fangs flashing with eerie white light, and it seemed that it was going to kiss the young man's neck in the next moment.

Even if it claims to be the most powerful creature on the planet, due to its inherent physiological structure, a ferocious and strong wolf can still defeat 99% of unarmed humans.

However, the young man in front of him clearly did not fall into this category.

Not even bothering to lift his fingers a bit, Zhu Mingyao moved his lips slightly and exhaled a thin wisp of foul air.

"ban!"

In stark contrast to the weak movement, the evil beast that was rushing towards him was suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier after hearing the light roar, and it stopped abruptly in mid-air. Then, the tremendous force squeezed it all around, and with the sound of continuous bone breaking, its heavy body the size of a calf fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
