CHAPTER 891: CHAPTER 420: TERRITORY AND HERSELF, BOTH MUST STRIVE TO IMPROVE

Even though the Dragon Clan tends to be reclusive, they still need to be aware of some new developments across Stan Continent.

Especially since this matter involves his daughter, he naturally made sure to investigate thoroughly.

This was the first time Su Yasuo had heard about it, and his eyes instantly lit up a bit.

The building materials that can enhance territory defense are actually related to their family’s shells.

"That’s why I think the commotion in the Undead Kingdom is closely linked to Hope Town," Iskandar said.

"Does Philaya’s territory still have many shells left? If not, we can relocate some from other places to her, so she can sell more to them!" Su Yasuo directly instructed Iskandar.

"Sure." Iskandar agreed.

Anyway, selling them means money for his children, and it would make his dad happy, so why not!

Su Yasuo seemed to feel a lot more relieved after hearing this news and continued to say to Iskandar, "Gather more information about those Otherworld Territories! I want to hear about them."

Previously, he didn’t care because it felt hopeless, but now, it seems a little different.

He wants... to see for himself.

"...Okay." Iskandar glanced at his father, whose eyes had become bright, and finally agreed.

Zhou Bai had no idea what happened after they left; all she knew was that shortly after leaving the Dragon Cave with Philaya, she immediately saw the scenery around her.

Amidst the vast sea, she looked down at the surroundings, her eyes involuntarily drawn to the view.

"The ocean is beautiful, right! I thought you’d like to see it, so I flew a bit lower for you to have a look," Philaya quickly said.

"Thank you, you’re really a... big cutie." Zhou Bai said with a smile, intending to say "little cutie," but Philaya’s size didn’t quite match "little," so she had to use another adjective.

"Not at all, Zhou Bai, you’re very cute too." Philaya replied shyly.

Zhou Bai chuckled softly.

Although after listening to Philaya’s grandfather, she felt the burden on her shoulders getting heavier, she still felt that she shouldn’t let her mood be too affected.

Whatever the task, she must face it with positivity.

As long as she does her best, regardless of the outcome, she’ll have no regrets!

Now, hovering amidst the clouds, she somehow felt like her heart was opening up as well.

She didn’t know how long they had flown before a powerful aura caught Zhou Bai’s attention. When she looked, she saw a massive island standing in the middle of the ocean, emitting a rich magic aura, but this aura was obviously very somber, yet also somewhat familiar.

"Is that the Undead Kingdom?" Zhou Bai quickly identified it—the aura was very similar to that of Bayer and Heidi, making the origin of this island quite apparent.

"Yes, that’s the Undead Kingdom," Philaya replied, tilting her head for a look, and then suddenly exclaimed, "Huh?"

"What’s wrong?"

"I see a lot of undead creatures picking up shells at the shore!" Philaya remarked in surprise.

Zhou Bai glanced down; she couldn’t see clearly and instinctively said, "Get a bit closer, let me see."

Philaya, ready to act, immediately brought Zhou Bai closer to the vicinity of the Undead Kingdom.

Zhou Bai naturally saw the scene below.

A group of skeleton people and Skull Beasts were using magic to retrieve shells from the sea bottom and placing them directly onto a nearby Magic Array.

After the black aura on the Magic Array surged, the shells vanished without a trace, obviously being transported into the Undead Kingdom.

"What do these undead want with the shells?" Philaya muttered, puzzled.

Zhou Bai listened and paused.

This matter seems to have quite a bit to do with her!

"Probably related to me."

"Huh?" Philaya couldn’t quite grasp it.

"They’re collecting these shells to trade with our territory," Zhou Bai explained directly.

Philaya seemed surprised and also a bit disheartened, "Didn’t you say you didn’t need them? You won’t cooperate with me, but you’ll cooperate with the Undead Kingdom?"

Listening to this, Zhou Bai reassured her, "Because in cooperating with you, the shells eventually end up going to Hope Town as well—the final outcome is the same. Plus, I get to maintain a good relationship with Baron Charlotte and others. There’s nothing bad about it."

"Alright then!" Philaya reluctantly accepted this explanation.

At that moment, Zhou Bai, watching these busy undead creatures, suddenly remembered something.

It was that during special weather, the undead seemed capable of moving freely.

The undead are not affected by the special weather.

Looking at it this way, is the restraint of the undead within the Undead Kingdom due to a calculated plan, to prevent them from interfering with someone else’s agenda?

Zhou Bai’s eyes flashed spontaneously.

If that’s the case, then if Hope Town could have more undead, even when special weather arrives, the overall impact on the territory might be slightly lessened, at least they would have a vanguard capable of collecting special materials.

Zhou Bai quietly noted this and then told Philaya, "Philaya, let’s go! Take me to upgrade!"

She needs to boost her level, so she can focus wholeheartedly on upgrading the territory.

If possible, she wants to find a way to upgrade Hope Town to a Level 3 town before the special weather arrives!!!

"Okay!" Philaya readily agreed.

In her mind, she already began recalling the training process she went through.

Now, let’s take things one step at a time!

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai was unaware that Philaya had set a series of trials awaiting her!
