Chapter 4505 The Woman In White

At a closer look, it was an ordinary piece of wood about the size of an adult's palm.

Austin noticed that it had a human face carved on it.

However, he couldn't make out the detailed features since it was just a rough contour of a face.

"Uh...

Are you sure this piece of wood is the sacred item your maternal tree was referring to?" Austin asked, skeptical.

He thought it was ridiculous that he spent a lot of effort to get here just for a common wood.

"Ahem! Young man, we have no reason to lie to you. According to the maternal tree, this wood is a holy treasure of our race.

All we need to do is to bring it back," one of the eight governing gods of the wood puppet race responded.

He, along with the other seven governing gods, looked a bit embarrassed when they saw the dubiety on Austin's face.

"Ah, wait!"

All of a sudden, Austin realized that something was wrong.

'This piece of wood is by no means ordinary since it can simply lie here unharmed.

Even I have to bear such turbulent pressure here. If it were an ordinary wood, it would have already been crushed to dust, right?

Hence, this wood must actually be an amazing treasure!'

As he fixed his eyes on the wood, the thought occurred to him like a flash.

"Well, then. You'd better hurry up and grab that wood so we can get out of here.

This place is way too dangerous.

Try to move as quickly as you can.

We might die here if we're not careful enough," Austin urged as he scanned their surroundings.

"Right. On it."

The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race then walked up to the woman with great caution.

However, it didn't go very well.

When they took two steps forward, one of them stopped in his tracks.

"Aaahhh! I can't hold it any longer. This pressure is too much! I feel like both my body and spiritual soul would explode if I take one more step!"

he said.

Even the other seven governing gods of the wood puppet race had to gather all their strength to walk forward, but they still couldn't move an inch.

"All right, then. I will escort you there," Austin quickly decided.

He had no other choice but to m

a hold of the holy treasure!"

The eight governing gods cried with joy as they got their hands on the piece of wood.

"All right!

Now we can finally go back and hand this over to the maternal tree."

The eight members of the wood puppet race felt exhilarated to the core. Words definitely couldn't describe their ecstasy.

Their race had fought with the face race over this holy item countless times.

However, they couldn't even get the chance to enter the Longevity Valley before, much less get the holy treasure back.

None of them had expected that things would go so smoothly, so they were totally bewildered to find themselves in this fortunate situation.

When they calmed down, they then turned to look at Austin with gratitude in their eyes.

"Young man, thank you so much!

Please know that our race owes you a lot," one of them said to Austin with utter sincerity.

Much to their befuddlement, however, they found that Austin was not listening.

He was staring at the woman without even blinking.

'Seriously? How could he be in a mood to admire this woman in this circumstance?

It's true that humans will find her beautiful, but she is way too dangerous.' The governing gods shared the same thoughts.

Thinking that Austin was attracted to the woman in white, they all secretly shook their heads.

"Young man, we should get going.

It's clearly not safe here,"

they urged the young man.
