[The protagonist of the work: Muppet Abu, puppet Mumu]

[Supporting role of the work: All the residents of the puppet country]

[Villain of the work: Former King of the Puppet Country]

【Tick】

[The group task target is detected, and the auxiliary system starts a new assist mode.] 】

[The portable control panel has been activated, and the host can view the control panel information at any time.] 】

[The mission is about to start, I wish you a happy mission.] 】

……

When a series of system prompts disappeared, Yang Qinglan slowly opened her eyes.

In front of me, there was a dazzling light that had been refracted by the crystal, and I was in the middle of a huge crystal.

Moving slightly uncomfortably, Yang Qinglan heard a clear "click" sound, like the sound of glass breaking.

What's the situation?

She tried to raise her hands, but found that they seemed to be fixed to her side by something, and she used a little force......

"Click! Click! ”

Two more crisp cracking sounds.

Her hand moved, but then a series of cracking sounds frightened her into froze in place, not knowing what to do.

"Bang!"

The crystal that was blocking his eyes fell down, revealing the scene outside, Yang Qinglan poked out and found that there was an unpleasant smell in the air, which felt similar to the smell of burning asphalt, and it smelled a little dizzy.

With this movement, the huge crystal that enveloped her completely shattered, allowing her to finally move freely.

But she soon discovered that her situation was not optimistic.

She projected onto the king of the puppet country who had just been resurrected as a charcoal puppet, that is, at this time, the first two parts of the "The Adventures of Abu" series of films had ended, and only the plot of the third part was left for her to play, and at least half of the preparations before the mission began.

But the current situation is not bad for her, because Abu and his party are happy to defeat the villain witch of the second part, and they don't know that she has been resurrected, and there is still a lot more she can do.

Thinking of this, she followed the direct view of the system to call up the control panel, and then saw a translucent floating screen appear in front of her, with several different options on it, namely "real-time progress", "skill management", "badge management", and "real-time progress" is divided into two, one is "side quest", and the other is "main quest".

The progress bar for all objectives to be conquered is currently displayed in the "Main Quest", which is currently displayed as 0%, and the "Side Quest" column is blank.

Probably familiar with the operation of the control panel, Yang Qinglan looked around and found the witch who had no breath in the corner.

Because it's a puppet show, even the big beauty set as a femme fatale is a toy-like body, but you can't see the material, and the main material that makes up the body is white and warm, and some look like ivory.

Faced with a toy, Yang Qinglan didn't have the slightest psychological barrier, and picked her up to see if there was anything valuable.

She really found it.

It was a girdle hidden under the dress, and on it was a red gem the size of a quail's egg, and the metal trim around the gem was engraved with the words-

"The magic of a witch comes from the desire of the heart."

This waist chain does not appear in the movie, which means that it is formed independently by this world according to the worldview, and it may have a profound impact on the plot direction of the whole world.

Just as she was playing with the waist chain, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

【Di――】

【Trigger Side Quest】

[Host "Arashi" triggers the "Adventures of Abu" world side quest - the source of magic power]

[Quest content: Carry the "Witch's Heart" to explore the source of magic and find the source of the witch's magic]

[Difficulty: 3 Stars]

【Mission Time: Unlimited】

[Does the host take over the task?] 】

"This thing is the Witch's Heart?" Yang Qinglan took the ruby and looked at it for a long time but didn't see the flowers, so she learned from the witch to wrap the waist chain around her waist, but the black and scorched torso looked a lot better.

Yang Qinglan stood in place and jumped, looking at the charcoal ash that fell from her body with a black line, she always felt that this body was too fragile, and anyone could break it with a stick, and then look at the waist chain that was shiny just now is now stained with a layer of black ash, and it looks like an inconspicuous iron chain at a rough look, and even the ruby is not so conspicuous.

With a helpless "tsk", Yang Qinglan picked up the clothes that had just been taken off the witch on the ground and put them on herself, and she was light on her feet when she put them on, for fear that she would end up with a broken hand and a broken foot, and she didn't know how to take it.

It's a fairy tale world, the witch wears a gorgeous dress with bumps and bumps, and it fits her very well, put on a hood, put on shoes and gloves, and no one can see what the person inside looks like from a distance, if you take a cane, you can COS dark magician.

After rummaging around the basement, Yang Qinglan found a few more items that should have been left by the witch, picked out two items that looked more valuable and lightweight, and then walked towards the secret passage exit of the basement according to the king's memory.

This basement was located directly below the royal palace, and the normal entrance was a secret door behind the large wardrobe in the king's bedroom, while another secret exit was known only to the king himself, and even the witch who had succeeded in seducing the king had not been able to dig up the news from his mouth.

Walked out of the winding and rugged rock secret passage with difficulty, always accidentally bumping and bumping along the way, Yang Qinglan only felt that many places on her body had been knocked off small pieces of charcoal, even if she didn't feel pain, she felt a faint pain in the place where she was knocked under the psychological effect.

It seems that she has to find a place to wrap her body tightly, even if it is wrapped in a mummy, it is better than dropping a piece in a while, every time it reminds her of that nightmare, and then she gets goosebumps without zài.

The exit to the secret passage is located outside the walls of the Puppet Country, next to two boulders, and half-human-high grass that no one can find unless they search carefully.

After watching at the exit for a long time to make sure that there was no one around, Yang Qinglan cautiously got out of the grass, relied on the position of the sun and the density of the leaves to identify the direction and headed north.

The north is the witch's hometown, and it is a place she must go, because whether it is to find clues to the side quest or the beginning of "The Adventures of Abu 3", it needs to be carried out there, not to mention that she is now the public enemy of the puppet country and the puppet country, although it has changed greatly, but it is inevitable that someone will be able to recognize her, and if you want to repair it, you have to find a neutral force, and the witch's hometown is a good choice.

Half a day later.

Yang Qinglan dropped the wooden stick with the thickness of her arm, rested against a big tree panting, and secretly complained in her heart about this strange fairy tale world.

She had only walked a few kilometers before she encountered three puppet wolves one after another, if it weren't for the fact that these wooden animals were relatively mechanical, and the quality of the wood was not so good, she would definitely have been gnawed up in two clicks, where could she defeat them with just one wooden stick?

Moreover, wolves are social animals, and now they have met three, God knows if the big army is nearby, the sun is already in the west, and the later it is in the forest, the more unsafe it is, she must find a way!

After thinking about it, her eyes fell on the wooden stick that had been used as a murder weapon just now.

Otherwise...... Make a torch?

Wolves are already afraid of fire, not to mention these puppet wolves, they will definitely be finished if they get caught in fire.

Although the goal of walking through the forest with a torch is obvious, it is safe and secure, and you can light a fire for the night when it gets dark, and the animals around the puppet country should be wooden, and you must not worry about safety if there is a fire.

As soon as she thought of it, Yang Qinglan picked up two relatively small dead wood sticks, as well as a bunch of dead grass, squatted there to drill wood to make fire, and worked for half an hour before finally lighting the dead grass and making a simple torch.

As soon as she stood up with the torch, she suddenly looked down at her stomach with a strange expression.

This feeling......

Is she hungry?

But what should a recipe for a charcoal puppet consist of?

She looked around blankly, and it seemed that the only thing that could be used as food was the puppet wolf that had just died under her stick, but how should she eat the wooden things?

Moreover, it stands to reason that a freshly dead animal should be raw and needs to be cooked before it can be eaten, but can a puppet wolf be roasted? Won't it be burned to ashes directly? Do you want to find a pot to cook soup?

Trying to recall the king's former food, Yang Qinglan found that in addition to eating fruits and drinking wine, he would put a plate of roast chicken on the table at every meal, and then eat it with his hands.

The setting of the fairy tale world is simply unreasonable, who can tell her why there is a plate of normal, meaty roast chicken on the king's table when all animals are puppets and puppets?

She still wants to find fruit to eat, such a big forest, there will always be some fruit trees, if you can't do it, you will be hungry first, and when you get to the witch's hometown, there will definitely be food.

So without even looking at the puppet wolf that fell to the side, Yang Qinglan continued to go north with a torch.

I don't know if it's because she raised the torch, until it was dark, she didn't encounter a fourth dangerous creature, and the magical fairy tale law can make her torch burn without any consumption, and she doesn't have to worry about running out of fuel.

After finding an open space to light a fire, Yang Qinglan leaned against a big stone and fell asleep.

Half-asleep, she seemed to hear a sound similar to the vibrating of dragonflies' wings when it flies, and opened her eyes in a daze, and a small figure with transparent wings the size of a palm was revolving around her fire, as if wondering what it was.

What is it? Elf? But it doesn't look like the prophetic elf in the movie.

"Ahem!" She coughed lightly to see how the little thing reacted, and then she saw the little thing fold its wings as if frightened and suddenly couldn't fly, like a comedic animation effect, and stopped in mid-air for two seconds before falling straight into the fire.

However, it was just these two seconds that gave Yang Qinglan time to react, and she bounced up from the ground and rushed over, just reaching out to catch the little thing one second before it fell into the fire.

Because of the flames, Yang Qinglan's right hand glove burned, and although it was blown out in time, it was inevitably burned into a hole, revealing the back of the charcoal hand inside.

"Oops! You're hurt! The little thing that came back to her senses flew up in a panic and circled around Yang Qinglan, which made her dizzy.

"It's fine, it's just that the gloves burned."

"Really?" The little thing stopped in front of Yang Qinglan, and this finally made her see its appearance clearly.

A fleshy-looking, little blonde girl with dragonfly wings, with piercing eyes, looks very endearing.

"Really."

"That's great!" The little girl began to circle again, and Yang Qinglan felt that her eyes were about to turn into mosquito eyes.

"Can you stop for a moment?"

"Huh?" The little girl stopped, looked at her with her hands on her cheeks, "Do you want to say anything to me?" ”

“…… What is your name? ”

"My name is Mengmeng!"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Qinglan saw a crystal green heart-shaped buoy appear above the little girl's head, and then, the control panel that was originally hidden suddenly popped up, and Mengmeng's name suddenly appeared under the column of "Qing Mengli's Love" in the upper skill panel.

[Triggered by the passive skill "Qing Mengli's Love", the host "Lan" gains 100% friendship of the character Mengmeng]
