The golden-red Iron Man figure suddenly pulled up, and the propellers on the soles of his feet sprayed out stronger arrogance, leading him to the sky.The surrounding big trees began to wave their branches slowly, came alive, and tried to hit him.But Iron Man was too fast, broke through those branches and leaves, and flew out of the encirclement.

——Tony even bent over slightly caringly, and firmly protected the little boy in his arms, preventing him from being hurt at all.

Fujiya panted and ran on the ground, looking enviously at the sky.

"There is no way to communicate, this forest is endless!" she said distressedly.

Steve beside him ran with ease, and from time to time he was able to block Fujiya, who was relatively unresponsive. He put the shield on his back, looked around the environment calmly, and said in his mouth: "Fujiya , you need to do some combat training when you go back."

"I think so too." Fujiya said with a sad face, "I should have found out in the last battle that my reaction was slower than yours."

"Hey, guys, go this way!" Iron Man, who flew up to explore the way, came down again. He gestured to Fujiya and Steve in the direction next to him, and took them to fly there first. "This forest is very large, and only that side is the exit."

A group of four people flew and ran, and it took a long time to rush out of the forest in embarrassment under the driving of the big trees.

"Huh...huh... What kind of world is this? Is it so exciting when you come up?" Fujiya gasped, looking at the forest with a wall of thorns erected so close, she felt lingering fear.

Those plants are not under her control, and seem to have a sense of autonomy, refusing to communicate with her.After Fujiya was upgraded, her physical fitness could actually cope with such intense running, but she was too nervous and was still panting.

Tony put the little weasel down, ready to fly high again to find out the situation: "There are no satellites here, Jarvis can't connect to the Internet at all, and the environmental data collected are also very abnormal, it is a completely different world."

Soon, Tony released the scene he took in the sky in front of the three of them.

——The virtual screen is projected from above the face of the golden-red armor, directly projected into the air, forming a top-down map.

"Huh... this terrain looks unusual." Steve said thoughtfully with a slightly startled expression.

Looking from the top down, the entire environment that can be seen in the field of vision is divided into two distinct parts.On the left is the wilderness, and there are faint traces of people living on the path leading to the wooden hut in the distance.There is a human city at the end of the field of vision. The walls are all made of big stones. The buildings are all medieval buildings. Those densely packed buildings surround a tall castle in the middle.

On the right is the forest they escaped from just now. Tall and dense thorns have been erected on the edge, making it completely inaccessible for people, as if someone deliberately did it.The forest is full of dark tones, as if all the plants are stained with something bad, not like normal plants, and also endless.

"It seems that we need to find someone to ask about the situation." Fujiya said.Even if she knows a lot of plots, she can't do anything in this situation where she doesn't know anything.

"Go to the nearby cabin and ask." Little Weasel agreed.

From the human city to the edge of the forest, there is wilderness in the middle, with overgrown weeds everywhere, full of the original ecological appearance of nature, with beautiful lakes and vast grasslands, but there is no one.There is also only one main road with ruts on the ground that barely leads to the city from a distance, but the distance looks extremely long. If they want to go, they may have to walk for several days.

The closest one is indeed the small wooden house located in the wilderness. It is lonely, but there is faint smoke rising from it, and it seems that there are people living there.

"Excuse me……"

When they got closer, they saw that in the courtyard outside the cabin, several women were sitting around the wooden table playing cards, chatting and laughing.

Fujiya wanted to ask directly, but Steve cautiously made a gesture to stop her, and the group hid behind a tree.The little weasel looked up at his blond brother, understood what he meant, and sneaked in without a sound.

"The situation is not right." Tony flipped off the visor on his face, observed for a while, and then lowered his voice and said thoughtfully, "This house doesn't seem to be able to accommodate several families."

The little weasel also came back quickly, and he shook his head in confusion: "Looking at the traces of life in the wooden house, there are only four people living here. It should be three people at the door and a little girl."

He added: "I saw a five or six-year-old kid cooking in the kitchen."

"What a strange match." Seeing Tony's raised eyebrows, Fujiya quickly asked Xiao Weasel, "Gianma, have you found any books or records that can tell us the history here?"

"No." The little boy said honestly, his clear black pupils showed some confusion, and he still pursed his lips and said, "I...before I left, she seemed to have found me."

"Found you?" Steve and Teng Ya exchanged a look in surprise.

They knew the little boy's concealment and tracking ability best, but they were discovered by an ordinary little girl here?

Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps in the grass in the distance, and the rustling sound of the branches and leaves being trampled sounded from far to near.As soon as the four of them got on guard, the grass was pushed away by a small hand.

The blond-haired little girl was sweet-looking, with round and big eyes, but she wore a little dress of simple texture, with sleeves rolled up to the elbows.She seemed to be sneaking around from behind the wooden house. The little girl squatted halfway in the grass, put her fingers in front of her lips, and carefully "shushed" to several people, her appearance looked innocent and cute.

"Uh, hi." Tony lowered his entire voice and greeted.

"Hello." The little girl whispered, she looked nervous and excited, "Keep quiet, my aunts don't like me talking to strangers."

"They are right, under normal circumstances, you really shouldn't talk to strangers." Tony couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Of course, we are different."

"Hello, we are lost, can you tell us where this is?" Steve said softly, he squatted down in front of the little girl, his blue eyes stared at the little girl gently and calmly.

——Captain America, children can't resist their eyes!

"I don't know either." But unexpectedly, the little girl showed distressed expression and said, "I've been living here, but I don't know what it's called, almost no strangers come here. I just Find out where the best-looking lake, the best-smelling tree, and the tallest place are nearby."

"Is that so?" Fujiya was a little disappointed.

The person they asked for directions was just a child after all, and there was nothing he could do if the answer was unclear.

"Why did your aunts raise you?" Little Weasel also asked aloud, "Three aunts take care of you, it's not very common, and you live in such a remote place, your parents..."

The little girl blinked, her expression confused: "What are parents?"

"I was brought up by my aunts since I was a child, and I have never been to the city, and my aunts would not take me there—" She paused, and suddenly sighed old-fashionedly: "No, it should be me I have been taking care of my aunts. They don’t know how to cook, wash clothes, or do housework, so I have to do it myself.”

"Do you know that forest in the distance?" Tony asked.He seemed desperate to find out something.

"Aunts never care about other things. And it's too far away. I've seen it on the cliff, but I haven't been there." The little girl shook her head honestly, she didn't know what to ask.

"I see a castle." Steve pointed to the faintly visible huge castle at the far end on the other side, and asked patiently, "Is there a king living there?"

"That's right." The little girl suddenly became excited, "There is another legend about the king. When I was a child, when I wanted to hear a bedtime story, my aunts would tell me this legend—although they only This one, but it's a story!"

The little girl's eyes look bright, which shows how poor her childhood experience is. A decent story can make her excited.

"What is it?" Fujiya also squatted down and asked in a curious tone.Legends are legends, at least this can give them a glimpse of the human history of this world.

The little girl immediately cleared her throat, and dragged her voice in a story-telling tone expressively: "... According to legend, the king has a daughter who is a beautiful princess. When the little princess was born, the king The adults were so happy that they invited the elves to bless the little princess...but he didn't invite the terrible witch. The witch ran over angrily and cast a curse on the little princess."

The more Fujiya listened, the more something was wrong.

Isn't this... the story of Sleeping Beauty? ?

The little princess is cursed by the witch. Although she is beautiful and gentle, she will be stabbed on her fingertip by a spindle at the age of 16 and fall into an eternal sleep.If you want to save her, unless someone can wake her up with a kiss.

Although this is just a legend in the mouth of the little girl... But since the story can spread in this world, it means that it is very likely that this is true, and it is related to the mission they are going to do!

Fujiya tried hard to recall the content of this fairy tale.It seems that the little princess was cursed when she was 16 years old. She included everything around her, and the whole palace fell into a coma, and everyone stayed in place vividly.Thorns grew all over the surrounding area, until several hundred years later, a prince passed by, bravely broke through the thorns, kissed the princess awake, and lifted the curse of the entire palace.

This can't work... Obviously, the little princess hasn't fallen into a deep sleep now. If she is really cursed, she will have to sleep together for hundreds of years.If Fujiya and the others are far away, at most, the task cannot be completed, and if they are close, maybe they will be stuck here too.

If this is really the task of this world... Could it be that they have to find a way to lift the little princess' curse?

Fujiya was lost in thought.

But what happened to that weird forest?In such a place with a sense of presence, they appeared in the forest as soon as they went online, and they would not believe it if they said it had nothing to do with the mission.According to common sense, their mission is right in the forest...

"Hide!" Fujiya was thinking, Xiao Itachi suddenly realized something, and hurriedly warned them.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Fujiya felt tense, and quickly followed behind Steve, and the four of them hid behind the tree.The little girl also turned around in a daze. Although she didn't find anyone, she still cleverly lowered her head to pick a small flower on the ground, pretending that she was busy with something.

"Who is it?" Steve's voice sounded inaudible, and he scanned the dense bushes in the distance vigilantly.

"We found the target." Tony's scanning equipment was still easy to use, Jarvis assisted him in analyzing the surroundings, and two figures soon appeared on his infrared thermal imaging scanner.
