Chapter 1489: Breaking Out of the Encirclement

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Inside Yating Court’s main hall, a group of royal concubines and noble ladies were waiting nervously.

The main doors remained tightly shut until a guard pushed open the door and entered.

“How is the situation outside? Where is the crown prince consort? Why hasn’t the crown prince consort returned?” Xiao Mi quickly went up and reeled off her questions. She then continued to ask, “Why aren’t you saying anything.”

“Prin-Princess, Your Majesty the Queen, the-the crown prince consort, she…”

*Bang!* A loud sound suddenly interrupted the royal guard’s response.

Sensing that the sound had come from the beams of the roof, the group of royal concubines and noble ladies who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken started shrieking when they looked up.

*Crack!* A small tile fragment had been stomped through the roof.

Everyone saw a sharp zombie crane claw probing inside from the sliver, and they involuntarily huddled into a cluster from fright.

“Goodness, we couldn’t be surrounded by a pack of zombie cranes, right!” Fourth Princess Mo Shuang suddenly screeched, spooking her mother, Consort Liu, who was sitting next to her.

Seeing that the queen and Consort Cheng were glaring over angrily, Consort Liu quickly held back the clamoring fourth princess. “Mo Shuang, shut up.”

“How can I shut up! We’re already faced with imminent disaster. Are you not giving me the chance to speak the truth?” Mo Shuang jumped up from her chair and paced back and forth in front of everyone, exclaiming, “If we continue on like this, it’ll be game over for all of us. We have to quickly think of a way to charge outside!”

Baili Zhen stopped smiling, and she suddenly summoned a dual-winged gold-threaded leopard. She turned her head to shout at Qin Susu and Duan Siren. “Come, let’s fight our way out!”

“Everyone, wait some more! We have already notified His Highness and them. I believe that they will soon come to rescue…”

*Bang, bang!* The zombie cranes’ claws stomped down several more tiles through the roof.

This time, the group of noble ladies looked up and saw half of a zombie crane’s face.

“Ah!” Yang Fengyan jumped up out of her wits. She grabbed Qin Susu, who was beside her, and shouted, “Susu, what to do? Bring me out quickly, quickly bring me away from here!”

“Maternal Young Miss, stay here!” Qin Susu sternly whisked away Yang Fengyan’s hand. She stood up and nodded while exchanging looks with Baili Zhen, who was straddling the dual-winged gold-threaded leopard. They then charged out of the door first along with Duan Siren.

Qin Susu and Duan Siren each summoned their own mystic beasts, as well, which were respectively a green-eyed nether wolf and a fiery fur rabbit. Just as they stepped out the door, they saw a dozen zombie cranes diving down at them.

The three of them joined hands and soon eradicated those zombie cranes in front of them with their mystic energy.

When they looked up, they saw four to five zombie cranes circling the roof of the main hall. There were not many of them, but these long-necked cranes’ claws had become rather sharp after mutating into zombies. They were able to tear away the roof tiles with several strikes.

The trio darted up to the roof with a flash to exterminate those zombie cranes.

Yet suddenly, they heard a tremendous roar coming from behind them.

Qin Susu, Duan Siren, and Baili Zhen instantly felt their hairs stand on end. They instantly turned around and assumed a triangular formation so that they could cover for each other’s blind spots.

Accompanying the loud roar was a zombie with a pair of incomplete wings on its back.

It was abnormally ugly and as it walked, rotting flesh was still dropping from its body, making it so that Duan Siren was nearly about to vomit her meal from last night.

This zombie gave them a very bad feeling. It was as if dealing with it would be a bit difficult even with the three of them joining hands.

Qin Susu’s eyes suddenly flickered, and she instantly thrust her sword at the zombie’s neck.
