Everyone followed and the scene in front of them made them stunned. The towering walls were covered with colorful murals, and the mushrooms, bricks and pipes in the murals seemed to jump out at any time. There was a faint scent of grass in the air, and the floor under his feet was actually made of floating bricks and stones. With every step, the bricks and stones would sink slightly and make a "creaking" sound.
"Is this... is this really Kuba's castle?" Xiaorang widened his eyes, with a bit of disbelief in his voice. His fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with excitement and nervousness. He had played the Super Mario Bros. game countless times when he was a child, and the scene in front of him was exactly the same as the world in the game.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes were spinning, and his voice was a bit vigilant: "Kab! Be careful, there are traps everywhere, Kab!" His mechanical arm was slightly raised, and his body was tense, obviously ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Kuranosuke walked to a brick and tapped it gently. The brick made a "dong dong" sound. His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was some doubt in his voice: "These bricks are solid, but it seems that there is some power controlling them." His fingers gently stroked the surface of the bricks, trying to find the secret.
Tian Delina stood aside, looking around, with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "This seems to be the world of Super Mario Bros. According to the rules of the game, we need to find props such as enlarged mushrooms or fire flowers to deal with Bowser and his turtle army." Her tone was calm and rational, and she obviously had a clear judgment of the current situation.
"Growing mushrooms? Flame flowers?" Sayuri showed a curious look, with a bit of doubt in her voice, "Aren't those things in the game? Could they really be here?"
Tian Delina nodded, with a bit of certainty in her eyes: "Since we have encountered Kuba's castle here, these things must exist. But we need to find them."
Just then, a low roar came from the depths of the castle, and the sound echoed in the air like thunder. Everyone immediately became alert, with a bit of tension in their eyes.
"Is that... Kuba's voice? Could it be that the black shadow that attacked us just now was Kuba?" Xiaorang's voice trembled slightly, his fingers tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes.
Kabuda's mechanical eyes flashed red, and his voice was a bit firm: "Kab! We have to find props to deal with him, Kab!" His mechanical arm was slightly raised, his body was tense, and he was obviously ready for battle.
Everyone walked forward along the passage, and the bricks and stones under their feet made a "creaking" sound from time to time, as if warning them of the danger ahead. The walls on both sides of the passage were covered with pipes of various shapes, some of which were spewing white smoke, and the air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur.
"Be careful, there is a piranha plant ahead!" Xiao Rang suddenly shouted, pointing his finger at a huge piranha plant in front of the passage. The leaves of the piranha plant were as sharp as blades, and the center of the flower was full of sharp teeth, emitting a disgusting stench.
The leaves of the piranha plant suddenly opened, making a piercing roar, and then pounced on everyone. Kabuda's mechanical arm quickly unfolded and blocked the front. The mechanical arm collided with the leaves of the piranha plant, making a "clang" sound.
"Kabu! This guy is quite strong, Kabu!" Kabuda's voice was a bit laborious, and the mechanical arm trembled slightly, obviously trying his best to resist the attack of the piranha plant.
Tian Delina quickly took out a coin from her pocket and threw it at the piranha plant. The coin drew an arc in the air and hit the center of the flower of the Piranha Plant accurately. The Piranha Plant screamed, and its leaves quickly curled up, then withered and fell to the ground.
"Well done!" Xiao Rang breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, and a bit of admiration in his voice.
The crowd continued to move forward and soon came to a spacious room. In the center of the room was a huge brick floating, with a glittering question mark inlaid on the brick, emitting an attractive light.
"I know this, we have to push the brick to get the props?" Xiao Rang ran over excitedly and was about to jump up.
"Wait!" Kuranosuke suddenly shouted, with a bit of vigilance in his voice: "Be careful of traps."
Xiao Rang immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly. He raised his fingers slightly, and his fingertips gently stroked in the air, as if feeling every bit of air flowing around him. The bricks under his feet sank slightly, making a slight "creaking" sound, which made him more alert.
Sayuri squatted down and carefully scanned every inch of the surface of the brick. Her fingers gently touched the edge of the brick and felt a slight cool touch. The surface of the brick was smooth without any cracks or gaps. Sayuri frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed her chin, as if she was thinking about something.
"It seems nothing unusual." Sayuri whispered, with a bit of uncertainty in her voice. She retracted her fingers and stood up, her eyes still on the brick, as if she wanted to see through its essence.
Sayuri took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "I'll try it first." She stepped lightly on the ground with her feet, squatted slightly, and then jumped up suddenly, hitting the bottom of the brick with her head.
With a muffled "bang", the brick shook, and then a slight "click" sound was made. Sayuri's body quickly fell back to the ground, her feet firmly stepped on the bricks, with a bit of tension and expectation in her eyes.
At this moment, a leaf gently fell from the bricks, the edge of the leaf curled slightly, emitting a faint green light. Xiao Rang's eyes widened instantly, and his voice was a little hurried: "Quick, Xiao Baihe, catch it! Don't let it fall to the ground, otherwise it will disappear!" Xiao Baihe's movements were almost without any hesitation. She quickly stretched out her hand, her fingertips slightly bent, and caught the leaf accurately. The touch of the leaf was soft and cold, as if it was beating gently in Xiao Baihe's palm. At the moment the leaf touched her palm, a strange feeling spread from the palm of her hand to her whole body, and the light of the leaf disappeared instantly, turning into a wisp of light green smoke, dissipating from her fingers. "This is..." Xiao Baihe's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes revealed a trace of astonishment, and her body was slightly stiff, as if she felt some strong impact. Then, a white mist quickly rose from under her feet. The mist was thick and heavy, as if it wrapped her whole body in it. The white mist gradually dissipated, and Xiao Baihe's figure reappeared in front of everyone. However, her appearance was completely different - her body became shorter and rounder, her limbs became longer, her skin was covered with a layer of light brown fur, her ears became pointed, and she had a long tail behind her.
"Raccoon... Raccoon?" Xiaorang's voice was a little shocked, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, as if he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
Sayuri lowered her head, looked at her body, and gently touched the fur on her arm with her fingers, with a bit of confusion in her eyes: "I... I became a raccoon?" There was a bit of uncertainty in her voice, as if she was confirming whether she had really changed.
Xiaorang's eyes flashed with a flash of sudden enlightenment, and his voice was a bit excited: "It turned out to be a raccoon tail prop! This is really Super Mario!" There was a bit of excitement in his voice, as if he had solved a puzzle. His fingers clenched unconsciously, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if he was full of confidence in the next adventure.
