Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 686 - 311 The Battle of Emerald Green_3

The skeletons, being the most numerous, generally only possessed Second Stage strength; a considerable number were even at First Stage. It was entirely due to their sheer numbers that they caused so much trouble.

This wave of large-scale attacks nearly eliminated more than half of them.

Just then, an ordinary-looking undead within the horde made its move. Gray-black smoke, intertwined with dark-green vines, swept out, apparently aiming to shatter the source of the light ball. But the moment it attacked, the elderly woman, who had been waiting on the city wall, immediately aimed her Flower Wand at it.

Countless petals instantly converged, spiraling towards the foe. The petals sliced the attacking gray-black vines in half before assaulting the undead itself. This forced the enemy to halt its own attack and defend against the sudden onslaught.

At this moment, Alka and the others were not idle. They frantically used their respective methods to clear out the undead below. Alka, in particular, unleashed spreading red smoke that made nearly all the undead freeze in place. They stood almost motionless, allowing themselves to be cut down, and some even began attacking each other.

Witnessing this, the soldiers on the city wall also sprang into action. They quickly followed suit, launching a furious offensive. In that brief moment, the tide of battle turned.

The Puppet Girls' battle formation was exceptionally clever. They always hid behind these soldiers, launching attacks at enemies from various unexpected angles. Already powerful, they frequently launched sneak attacks from various corners, proving virtually unstoppable on the battlefield. Yi and the squad she led were particularly adept at this.

With the participation of Alka and his companions, the monsters were rapidly cleared out, significantly boosting the morale of those on the city wall.

As the siege of the city wall faltered, the monsters finally began to retreat, heading back towards the junction area. Watching the monsters depart, the soldiers on the city wall roared, venting their pent-up emotions.

After the enemy retreated, Alka and the others quickly gathered together. Fortunately, they had consistently prioritized each other's safety. Although they provided assistance, they almost exclusively used long-range attacks, showing no intention of engaging in close combat. As a result, they remained unharmed.

Matilda controlled floating fine needles to heal the severely injured soldiers on the city wall.

Although Alka's group was small, their individual strength and methods were top-tier among those of similar rank. The undead's advantage on the battlefield stemmed from their overwhelming numbers of low-level units. The arrival of Alka and his companions immediately broke this balance, enabling the defenders to quickly eliminate these vast numbers of low-level undead.

Although they had joined midway through the battle, and no one knew or recognized them, their actions, along with Matilda's rescue efforts after the battle, earned them considerable respect.

The elderly woman with the Flower Vine Scepter walked up to them. She looked at Alka and Chadite. She made a strange prayer gesture and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your help. You are now our benefactors. The Flower Children will remember your kindness."

"As friends, it is our duty to help you," Alka replied. "May the Holy Mother bless you."

Upon hearing Alka's words, the elderly woman nodded. "Come, let's talk somewhere else. This is clearly not the place for conversation."

With that, the elderly woman led Akka and the others towards the floral city wall.

Upon arriving on the Island, everyone realized the environment was indeed excellent. Lush green plants and flowers were scattered everywhere. Various exotic flowers bloomed across the Island. Even the dwellings of the island's residents were structures of intertwined trees and vines. Furthermore, it was evident that these houses were formed from naturally grown and interwoven trees and vines; the trees themselves were still alive.

It was obvious these structures were built using some kind of Spell, but this scene of harmonious coexistence with nature intrigued and amazed everyone. They constantly looked around, admiring the various sights. Julia, in particular, was exceptionally pleased with this place.

She led Alka and the others to a large house constructed from a giant tree. Alka and the others found nearby chairs to sit on; even these were fashioned from living plants.

"I thank you all once again for your assistance," the old woman said. "If you plan to conduct any exploration or research on this island or in the surrounding areas, please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything we can help with. Of course, there are a few things I must clarify beforehand: you must not cause serious damage to this environment. Certain hidden locations are off-limits for exploration. Naturally, if friends from the Holy Mother Church wish to enter, they must discuss it with us first, and we will personally guide them."

It was clear from their group's composition that the elderly woman believed Alka's team was another expedition here to explore Tuan Island. In fact, this wasn't far from the truth, as that was indeed their purpose.

Before Alka and the others could respond, a girl wearing leather armor came in and whispered something in the old woman's ear.

The elderly woman stood up and said apologetically to Alka and the others, "The recent war has caused us significant losses. Forgive me, but I have many matters to attend to. I will arrange for someone to take good care of you, and I hope you have a good experience here."

Alka nodded repeatedly. "Please, attend to your duties. We will abide by the rules here."

"That would be best."

With that, she departed. A young girl in a green robe then approached and led them out of the building.
