Chapter 285 Semifinals (1)
Before Mickey could finish speaking, Gu Shijiu felt her foot slip and plummeted straight down.
"Hehe, now you have two choices: a cave hollowed out in the cliff or nothing at all. Honorable guest, which do you choose?"
Minnie's malicious face loomed over the cliff as she looked at Gu Shijiu and asked.
What did it say again? What should we choose?
Gu Shijiu couldn't hear clearly; all she could hear was the whistling wind. She tried to reach out and hook her arms and legs onto the plants on the cliff, but she didn't succeed.
When consciousness returned, the person was already dazed and confused, lying on the ground.
Gu Shijiu looked up and realized that she was currently at the very bottom of a precipice.
All around were sheer cliffs, so steep that it seemed impossible to climb them on one's own.
Surprisingly, despite not choosing anything, Gu Shijiu was not injured at all when she fell from such a high cliff.
So what's the point of these questions?
Based on her own understanding of her intelligence, Gu Shijiu gave up thinking about the answer, stood up, and looked around.
The surrounding area was a forest, with tall, gloomy trees covered with black vines.
The vines, covered in sharp thorns, swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which gave off a rotten smell;
Stepping on it, it felt soft and fluffy, accompanied by a cool sensation coming from the soles of my feet.
A thin layer of mist hung in the woods, obscuring the view and making it impossible to see anything in the distance.
Gu Shijiu walked into the woods and heard a strange cry echoing through the trees, sending chills down his spine.
She clenched her fists, warily scanning her surroundings, and spotted a moose.
"Oh, we have a guest. What brings you here?"
The moose opened and closed its mouth, speaking in human language. Although its tone was enthusiastic, its face was expressionless, which was unsettling.
"I'm looking for Minnie's bow, do you know where it is?" Gu Shijiu remembered that she had a task and asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
The moose leaped, craning its neck to the left: "I see it! It went that way."
"Oh, thanks." Gu Shijiu said thank you and prepared to follow the direction indicated by the moose.
But the frog next to her called out, "You've been tricked! That person isn't going to the left at all; you should be going to the left."
Gu Shijiu glanced at the frog.
This frog is huge, about half the height of a person, and its dark purple skin is covered with bumps of different sizes.
A sticky liquid occasionally seeped from the bumps, glistening repulsingly in the sunlight.
Its eyes bulge out, like two yellow marbles that might fall out at any moment;
His black pupils were long and narrow, pointing upwards, giving off a sinister aura.
His wide mouth stretched all the way to his ears, revealing two rows of sharp and uneven teeth;
A trace of unidentified viscous liquid clung to the corner of its mouth, trembling with each breath.
Gu Shijiu realized she had made a mistake; it should have been a toad.
The strange-looking toad, seeing that the moose was otherwise perfectly normal except for being able to speak human language, decided to trust the moose.
Gu Shijiu walked for a long time, and the surrounding fog grew thicker and thicker, making the already gloomy forest seem even more eerie.
Suddenly, a small wooden house appeared ahead, with seven dwarfs standing in front of it.
They were dressed in tattered clothes of various colors, their faces filled with terror, and they were surrounding a person on the ground.
As Gu Shijiu approached, she saw a young girl lying on the ground dressed in a European-style court dress.
Her skin was as white as snow, her lips as delicate as roses, and a golden crown adorned her jet-black hair.
When the dwarfs saw Gu Shijiu, they all started crying and complaining.
"It's all that wicked queen's fault! She's trying to harm Snow White again!"
"We failed to protect her this time."
"This is..." Gu Shijiu searched her memory, seemingly recalling hearing this story many times before. "Snow White?"
Isn't this fairytale world a bit too chaotic...?
Just then, a prince dressed in magnificent clothes arrived on a white horse at breakneck speed.
He jumped off his horse and saw Snow White's corpse. His face turned deathly pale, and his eyes became bloodshot.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head sharply and stared fiercely at Gu Shijiu.
"You wicked woman! You must be the one who killed Snow White!" the prince roared through gritted teeth.
Gu Shijiu quickly waved her hand and explained, "It wasn't me. She was already like this when I arrived."
The prince ignored him completely, drew his sword from his waist, the blade gleaming coldly, and pointed it at Gu Shijiu.
"Stop making excuses! Who else could be here but you? Today, I will avenge Snow White!"
Gu Shijiu pointed to the dwarves: "Ask them, they know very well how Snow White died."
However, the dwarfs seemed to hear nothing, neither speaking nor leaving, but simply watching from the sidelines.
The prince seemed not to hear at all, completely blinded by rage. He roared and swung his sword at Gu Shijiu.
Gu Shijiu delivered a swift side kick to the prince's sword-wielding arm.
The prince cried out in pain, and his sword flew out of his hand.
Before the prince could react, Gu Shijiu rushed forward and delivered a powerful punch to the prince's chin.
The prince flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, his head falling to one side.
Huh? He died just like that?
Gu Shijiu looked at her still clenched fist with a puzzled expression. Why did the combat power of these NPCs fluctuate so much?
She barely used any force, and the prince's head was knocked off. He's all show and no substance.
"Oh dear, you killed the prince!" The dwarves who had been watching from the sidelines seemed to have been suddenly unleashed, bursting into tears all at once.
"What should we do? We've lost our prince, who can save the princess?"
"The poor princess hasn't even had a chance to avenge herself on her wicked stepmother queen yet."
"Waaaaah, the prince was killed by this woman."
The dwarfs' voices were unpleasant and shrill, making Gu Shijiu's head ache: "Stop arguing, or I'll kill you all, just like the prince."
"Waaah, what a terrible woman! How could she treat innocent dwarves like this?"
"The prince is dead. If we die too, what will happen to Snow White?"
......
The seven dwarfs recited a string of lines in an aria, leaving Gu Shijiu stunned: "So, what do we do now?"
"Either you save Snow White, or you go to the wicked queen and avenge Snow White."
Gu Shijiu didn't want to choose any of them: "I'm still looking for Minnie's bow, have you seen it?"
A dwarf looked up, a strange glint in his eyes: "If you can do any one of these things, we'll tell you where the bow is."
I see... Gu Shijiu racked her brains, trying to recall the details of the fairy tale Snow White.
The princess died after eating the poisoned apple... How did she survive?
It seems like she's met a prince...
"I've got it!" Gu Shijiu raised her eyebrows happily.
