Chapter 133: Arriving on the Island
"What's wrong with Your Highness? Her energy is so erratic."
Several family members looked at Anno in Secris's arms with worried expressions.
At this moment, Anno's body was burning hot, and energy had begun to overflow. This was because the energy was suddenly abundant, and the body could not fully absorb it in time. It was like a bucket full of water, which was already full but water was still being poured into it, and the water could only overflow.
Caesar and the others saw her moan softly in pain, muttering something as if she were having a nightmare.
Caesar immediately looked at Tanvel: "Tanvel!"
Tanvel stepped forward, took Anno's hand, and used his abilities to soothe her consciousness and emotions.
Tanvel possesses two abilities: ice-based powers and the ability to create illusions, which can also be used to soothe emotions and facilitate private telepathic communication.
Under his comforting words, Anno gradually calmed down, but her energy continued to increase while simultaneously dissipating outwards.
In just a short while, Caesar and Secris noticed that her hair had grown longer and the sleeves of her nightgown, which were peeking out from under the blanket, were shorter.
Caesar lifted the blanket covering Anno and looked at her. Her trousers were much shorter, revealing half of her fair, white calves.
Caesar and Secris exchanged a glance. Sure enough, their guess was right. The princess did not hatch in recent years. She must have suffered a serious injury or experienced a decline in energy before, which caused her body to shrink again.
This is a protection mechanism of the Zerg, especially for the Overlord, whose protection mechanism is even stronger. As long as the core is intact, even fatal wounds can be healed. However, this requires the consumption of the core's original energy, and it cannot be healed at any time.
Their queen, Sevier, fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption of primal energy, and the king also consumed core primal energy twice, which is why his injuries have not fully recovered.
Queen Seville has fallen into a deep sleep, and the little prince has gone missing. The entire Zerg race needs the king to support them.
Now that Caesar and the others are watching the young prince's body begin to recover and grow under the influence of the core energy, they are 100% certain that the core is on this island.
Caesar said, "Take off Her Highness's clothes; she won't be able to fit into them later."
As they spoke, they quickly took off Anno's pajamas, which were much too small, and wrapped her in a blanket.
Although the King Insect Egg will not hatch in extreme environments, they have not known where the little princess has gone for the past three hundred years. The Northern River Star People only discovered her half a year ago. They have no idea where they hid the little princess before or whether she was lost.
The most important thing now is to retrieve the young prince's core. Once the young prince returns to the Zerg, they can then slowly settle accounts with the Northern River System.
"Walk."
Secris, carrying Anno, spread his wings and flew toward the floating island, with Mingxiao following closely behind, carrying the unconscious Brightman.
Caesar surveyed the area around the floating island. It was nighttime, but he could faintly see the lights of ships in the distance, and aircraft were also flying towards them.
They've captured the heir of Beihe; they'll be discovered soon enough, so they need to hurry.
"Nana, Nana, the baby is missing!"
Winnie anxiously dialed Karina's number. Now that Philt had also been detained by the Federation, Locke had told her to contact Karina immediately if anything happened.
Doris and Conson were also extremely anxious. They checked the surveillance footage but found nothing unusual.
The baby suddenly disappeared; he must have been taken away by someone.
Karina didn't turn on the video. Hearing Winnie's anxious voice, she calmly said, "I understand, Grandmother, don't worry."
How could Winnie not be worried? She was frantic with worry.
“I know where Xiao Qi is. You all stay in Amber Island and take good care of Baroque and the others. The rest of Father and Mother have been arranged, so don’t worry.”
Karina hung up the communication and stood on the mountaintop, watching the various aircraft flying in from afar. She was wearing a fitted black combat suit, and the night wind blew her long hair, which stood up high.
After glancing around, she put her finger to her ear and asked, "Auntie, are you all done yet?"
"They're here. The winged people up there are getting more and more irritable. Xia Li almost got beaten up."
"Ji Yue, you're the one who provoked them! If I get beaten up, you bear a lot of responsibility!"
Karina listened to her aunt and uncle bickering again inside, hung up the phone, squatted down to tighten the weapon straps on her calves, and checked the various weapons she was wearing.
On the island, supernatural and energy-based weapons cannot be used; only melee weapons are permitted.
Xia Li has found the approximate location of Xiao Qi's core, but the area around it is filled with the strongest winged people. She still needs to break through their defenses to find the core's exact location. The Federation will probably find out about the Zerg's actions soon and is sending people over. She needs to be prepared for a fierce battle.
She had just finished checking her equipment when she saw Xia Li and Ji Yue flying towards her.
The two landed in front of her, still arguing back and forth.
Karina tossed the weapon case to them. "Stop arguing and get equipped quickly."
Seeing Karina's expressionless face, both of them fell silent.
Both of them were Karina's elders, but in this family, apart from Tang Ting and Logan, no one was unafraid of Karina's aura.
After the two quickly equipped themselves with their weapons, Karina opened her arms to them.
Xia Li stepped forward and hugged Karina, who was half a head taller than her. She spread her brown wings and flew with Karina to a distant floating island. Ji Yue also spread her white wings and followed closely behind.
Are you sure it's inside?
In a forest at the center of the floating island, Bazel, Simswalt, and two others crouched in the bushes. In front of them was a waterfall cliff, below which lay a huge lake.
There are many buildings around the lake, all inhabited by winged people.
Across the lake lies one of the winged cities built against the mountain. The architecture of these towns is very ancient, constructed entirely of stone. Although it carries the style of the ancient era, the buildings are exquisite and grand.
This floating island is enormous, comparable to Isabel, and contains dozens of towns of varying sizes; the one in front of them is just one of them.
Bazel observed the island for a while. The winged people in this city were stronger and equipped with weapons. There were also many winged people patrolling around. It seemed that Sims's information was correct.
Sims said, "Boss, this is information I obtained from above at the risk of my life. We have an inside man at the Federation headquarters. Our leader couldn't reach an agreement with the Federation, so he wants to take the core of the Little King Worm himself. Our people will be here at midnight."
Walter, standing nearby, nervously swallowed. "Is the little cub really a Zerg queen?"
Sims: "Otherwise, why do you think we're here?"
Walter: "That leader still dares to come and take the core? That's a little queen bug! If they take her core, the Zerg will go crazy!"
Bazel checked the time on his personal terminal; it was 10 p.m., and there were still two hours before the rebels came to the Sky Tower to seize the core.
Sims looked at Bazel and said, "That big shot, with only the three of us, isn't it a bit unrealistic to think we can get the core..."
Bazel said coldly, "If we don't get it, we'll all die."
Walter looked helpless and gave Sims a resentful look.
He's really a good partner of his, betraying him too. Now his body has been implanted with nano-bombs by Bazel. This Bazel is a madman. How could they possibly break through so many winged people guarding the core?
Moreover, this island is very strange. They can't use superpowers or any technological instruments, and they can only fight with cold weapons. Aren't they doomed to die?
Sims patted Walter on the shoulder. "Don't look at me like that. Do you think I wanted to come here?"
Bazel looked around through his binoculars. Many of the winged people living on the cliff were patrolling with weapons. They were very alert and became vigilant at the slightest movement.
But no matter how vigilant they were, his beastly form made him a natural enemy of birds, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to sneak in.
He put away his binoculars and said to Sims and the others, "Be careful what you do, don't let them spot you. If you can't keep up with me and they kill you, I won't care."
"I understand, sir!"
