Chapter 4301: 5.0053 Attacking Allure Island 2

She had been secretly watching the little stoic for quite a while, pondering why she challenged the Princess, and only then realized her objective.

This little stoic's detour to Allure Island was for the Sacred Wood.

Sacred Wood? It truly was tempting.

She held the miniaturized Earth Treasure Qiankun Bell in her hand, lightly flicking the black bell with her finger, still hearing muffled thumping sounds from within.

To make this stoic face owe her such a huge favor, she had indeed put in a lot of effort and wasted considerable energy.

Si Kong Fuling's eyes flickered as she looked down at the Sacred Wood fragment encased within the Earth Treasure Qiankun Bell. She sighed, "What an disobedient child."

She had told it to stop fussing, but it continued to struggle endlessly. It was clearly a Sacred Wood Spirit, the origin of the five spirits, yet its intelligence seemed somewhat low.

"Boom!"

A surge of black energy erupted from the direction of the pier. Si Kong Fuling's expression hardened. She put away the Earth Treasure Qiankun Bell and called out to Meng Meiyou and the others behind her, "Let's go."

There was no time to lose; she had to contact Qiao Mu before Allure Island descended into complete chaos.

As for the Sacred Wood fragment, merely fantasizing about it was one thing. If she truly intended to absorb it... she might meet a very grim end.

Moreover, this was just one of the tree seed fragments. Who knew if the main body of the Sacred Wood would turn furious and retaliate against her once it caught up?

She couldn't afford to gamble on such a life-and-death matter.

Qing Xuexue and Officer Zhao rushed to the harbor entrance, just in time to see a three-story tall, massive樓船 (tower-ship) once again crash towards the shore.

Twice in quick succession, the port, repeatedly struck by two large ships, was now in utter disarray.

Nearby boats, large and small, were all shattered, and numerous injured lay scattered on the ground near the port, groaning and unable to get up for a long time.

Female sword-wielding attendants, arriving swiftly, now stood protectively beside Her Royal Highness and Officer Zhao, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Sss-aow," a strange sound echoed.

When everyone looked up and saw a grotesque figure, whose facial features were almost entirely jumbled together, leap out from the tower-ship and let out a mighty roar, both Princess Qing Xuexue and Officer Zhao's pupils slightly contracted.

This was clearly not a human.

What it was, everyone present surely understood without needing further explanation.

This kind of monster with bizarre features and stiff limbs...

"Corpse Puppets! They're Corpse Puppets, so many Corpse Puppets!" A panicked middle-aged man scrambled to his feet from the ground, letting out a series of sharp, urgent cries.

Indeed, there were many Corpse Puppets, countless numbers of them swarming out of the two twisted tower-ships.

They hung on the ship's cabin windows, sprawled on the deck, then suddenly leaped and bounded onto the port, like giant crawling insects, launching an attack on the crowd.

Officer Zhao's stern face completely contorted.

She drew the short sword from her waist, raised her hand high, and shouted, "Protect Her Royal Highness!"

"Protect Her Royal Highness!" All the female attendants drew the swords from their waists and, without hesitation, charged towards the crawling horde of Corpse Puppets.

Qing Xuexue's face was ashen.

Allure Island was located outside the Wangchuan Sea Territory, in a remote area. From here to Wangchuan, even the fastest ships would take ten days.

Distant water couldn't extinguish a nearby fire; they couldn't possibly get reinforcements.

The once prosperous Allure Island ferry terminal was instantly ravaged and dilapidated under the onslaught of countless Corpse Puppets.
