After saying that, the coldness emanating from Venom’s smirk grew more intense. He moved at top speed to slash Philip’s arm with the dagger in his hand! With that slash, Philip’s arm would definitely be ruined! When Sheryl saw this scene, her expression crumbled and she hurriedly shouted, “Stop, no! You absolutely can't hurt him!” Hearing that, Venom glanced sideways at Sheryl and asked curiously, “Why not? Isn't he just an ordinary person? Doesn’t your Larson family have another candidate for the selection?” Sheryl was panicking at the moment. If Philip was harmed in any way, the Clarke family would definitely not let the Nonagon off! The Clarke family and the Nonagon had been at peace for decades. If anything happened at this juncture, it would be bad for both parties. Moreover, Philip was the heir of the Clarke family. If he was injured by someone from the Nonagon, Roger Clarke would certainly be furious! Not to mention the four enforcers but even the Five Pavilions
Hiss! Everyone gasped! This was too exaggerated! A single slap caused Venom to fly out like that?! Then, Fennel’s bland and disdainful words were heard. “So noisy! The hell with being an ant! In my eyes, you’re nothing but an ant.” Such audacity! Who could have imagined that this person from the Nonagon—one of the four enforcers of Uppercreek who acted so high and mighty before this and was a guy rumored to have a body impenetrable by knives—could be slapped away just like that? Moreover, Venom lay on the ground for half a minute before he recovered his senses! After he got up, his face was full of anger and his eyes flashed with disbelief. He sneered very cruelly and said to Fennel, “Haha, interesting! You’re not an ordinary person. You know the zones behind the door. You’ve entered the Nonagon and you’ve entered the door before!” Hiss! Instantly, the crowd tensed. What? The guy in front of them had actually entered the Nonagon! However, what was this about a
Fennel was right and Venom was fully aware of it. Just now, Fennel’s kick had injected a lot of vigor into his body. If he dared to activate his energy now and the two forces collided, his internal organs would not be able to withstand it. His organs would crumble! If that happened, he would be rendered an invalid! The Nonagon would have no use for an invalid! Venom dared not move around and could only kneel on the floor, enduring the pain in his abdomen. He could hardly believe that a guy who had entered the second or even third zone behind the door would appear here in the outside world! He and the other enforces had been given this assignment for the Nonagon’s selection this time. He really had not seen Fennel before! In that case, only two possibilities could explain the current situation. First, he was a member of the Five Pavilions and could freely enter and exit the Nonagon. Second, he was an outcast of the door, one who was wanted by the Nonagon. As for whic
Connie’s voice reminded one of a deep icy abyss, making others shiver when they heard it. Immediately after, she burst into action. Her slender hand carried the force of thunder and struck Fennel on the chest! Even an uninitiated layman could see that this palm strike contained an overwhelming power! Everyone believed that with this attack, the guy who seriously injured Venom before would definitely die! The corner of Venom’s mouth also carried a sneer. Since Connie had made a move, the outcome had been decided! She had entered the second zone and her strength was above his—a cut above! She might even enter the third zone when they returned after this! She was only 23 years old and selected by the Nonagon at the age of 19. In just four years, she had already attained such an achievement. Her future was limitless! However, to everyone’s surprise, Connie’s palm strike did not cause any damage to Fennel at all. Instead, her wrist was grabbed by the opponent. Swoosh! Fe
Everyone was shocked by the words that came out of Fennel’s mouth! What did he say? What an arrogant tone! Was he going to kill the four enforcers? This was simply unheard of! Was this cocky guy unaware that these people were from the Nonagon? Moreover, Norris Weil had also said that he was a member of the Five Pavilions of the Nonagon and a member of the Griffin Pavilion! This status and identity were definitely not accessible to ordinary people! Even the people of the Nonagon had to be respectful when they met the people of the Five Pavilions! That was a symbol of status! At this moment, Norris’ face also turned grim. His gray eyes flickered with an odd light as he said with a mocking laugh, “From your tone, you seem quite hostile against the Griffin Pavilion? I wonder how the Griffin Pavilion has offended you? Why don’t you tell me and we’ll see if it can be resolved? After all, our Griffin Pavilion recruits young and special talents from all over the world. With
Later, Philip had asked Reed about it but Reed just smiled indifferently and replied, “It’s still too early for you to find out. The time is not ripe yet. Sooner or later, you’ll come into contact with it.” Now, Philip realized that the secret Reed refused to reveal back then was the secret of these people before him. The Nonagon must be in control of something that was not accessible to ordinary people. Specifically, it was being displayed by Norris Weil in front of him. It was the so-called vigor that Fennel had mentioned just now. Vigor? What exactly was it? After this matter was over, he must find out from Fennel in more detail. He must know more. While Philip was thinking about it, Fennel had already stepped forward. Without doing anything else, he stared closely at Norris with firm and domineering killing intent. “You’re not my opponent. Why are you seeking your own death?” Although Norris had fully unleashed his aura at this moment, he still felt infinite pre
Hiss! Everyone was filled with horror at this scene! The other three enforcers who stood behind Norris were all dumbfounded! They were fully aware of Norris’ strength! He was the only one among the four who had entered the third zone to study. Although it was only half a month ago, it was enough to display his strength. Among them, he was definitely a heaven-defying existence! Moreover, given that he was a member of the Griffin Pavilion in the Five Pavilions, he was naturally stronger than the others who entered the third zone. That was because Griffin Pavilion had more structured and professional lectures and training. However, at this moment, Norris’ full blow was so easily blocked by Fennel! Terrifying! Simply horrific! What kind of monster was this guy exactly? Could it be that he was not someone who had just gotten to the third zone? Instantly, Connie and the other two thought of a possibility. The fourth zone! How could it be? Anyone who had entered
What terrifying strength! However, as an enforcer of the Nonagon in the Uppercreek region, she naturally could not agree to it so readily. They were members of the Nonagon, after all. No matter how powerful this guy in front of them was, would he dare to make an enemy out of the entire Nonagon? At that time, what he would face was the pursuit of the organization! Besides, by dealing such a severe blow to Norris Weil today, he had already offended the Griffin Pavilion. The Griffin Pavilion was one of the most spiteful among the five pavilions. Moreover, the master of Griffin Pavilion was ruthless and vicious. He was protective of his people. Once, someone disrespected the people of the Griffin Pavilion and the pavilion master directly sent his people to the outside world to exterminate the enemy’s entire family. No one was spared! Now, this guy in front had injured Norris so seriously. He must have offended Griffin Pavilion. Thus, Connie’s face was cold as she said, “B
Philip had valuable things that he could exchange with the other party. It would be great if they could agree on the business deal. Abele not only accused them but also slandered them in every way. It was so infuriating that anyone would want to get back at her. “Haha, the humans have a point. You must be up to no good. Do you think I’m not aware?” Akash glared at Abele with a murderous intent, ready to deal with her. “The elves want nothing more to do with you. From now on, I hereby announce that you can no longer call yourself elves. If we find you doing it again, we’ll show you no mercy.” Akash glared at them vehemently. Philip nodded calmly, but he was surprised by this development too. “Now that things have been sorted out, let’s have a chat. I’m really interested in your elf water and would like to find out more about it.” Philip invited Akash for a chat. He knew Akash was in charge of the elves, so it was best to speak to him. Akash nodded. He was very interested in
However, this was a secret among the elves, and not many people knew about it. They would never spread the news for no reason either. Philip simply stared at Akash eagerly without a word. He could tell that Akash was quite powerful and not on the other party’s side. Aslan looked at the ugly elf queen in disdain. “You look so ugly. Are you their subordinate? I’ve always heard that elves are noble creatures, beautiful and powerful, but everything seems different from what I thought,” Lyle added fuel to the fire. They knew that Philip was trying to provoke the other party, so they wanted to play a part too. Akash did not seem as upset as earlier. For some reason, Akash felt that Philip was not a bad person the moment he saw him, and there might be a chance for cooperation between them. With that impression, he remained silent and simply stared at Philip, waiting to see what he was up to. Akash disliked Abele very much. Be it how Abele started the war back then or ruined th
The truth was that the ugly elf injured himself. The warrior was injured during a scuffle over personal property and had nothing to do with the humans at all. Their objective was to frame Philip. The bigger the issue, the better. Akash scowled when he saw the warrior’s injuries. The other party had to be very vicious to beat this warrior nearly to death. They were definitely up to no good. “They've been inside for quite some time, so I think they’ll come out soon. We don't know where our true god is for the time being, so we can only place our hopes on you.” The elf queen shamelessly shifted the responsibility on Akash as if this incident had nothing to do with her. Akash's expression changed slightly, but he had heard that the other party's true god had gone to a mysterious place to practice, so he would not come to their rescue. Although unhappy, he could not do anything to these shameless guys. At this time, Aslan kicked away the stone that blocked their way and walked o
The elves’ true god went missing ages ago, and no one knew where he went. They had no idea where to find their so-called true god, so they were left alone and helpless. The reinforcements they sought were another clan of elves. They were not the only elves around; there were other clans too. Different clans usually lived separately. They would only join forces again in the face of danger. No one knew that the so-called elf water came from the other clan. The ugly elves had no right to own the elf water. However, the other clan never made it known to the public and gradually reduced everyone’s impression of the elves, leaving only the ugly creatures known to the world. The other clan kept a low profile and did not want to reveal their identities at all. They just wanted to live their lives in peace and quiet. “My queen, I've brought them here. What are your orders?” A warrior ran over, followed by a group of beautiful elves who looked to be full of doubts as if they had no i
“I’m sure the ugly elves don't know about this place. Hehe, they really messed up big time. Now that we've found this place, they can forget about taking anything away from here.” Lyle rushed over happily. He looked at the various fruits on the trees and quickly picked one for a bite. He was not concerned about washing it or making sure it was not poisoned. “You don’t even know if there’s a problem with the peach and you swallowed it without thinking?” There were various fruits such as peaches and pears all around. After Lyle ate one, the others ran forward to pick some too. Even if they could not finish everything, they would not let them fall into the hands of the elves. Black Rabbit hopped around and looked at Philip. He wanted to pick some fruits too, but his physical strength was nothing compared to before. He was an ordinary rabbit now and could not pick the fruits. The fruits grew high on the trees, and he could not reach them even if he stood on tiptoes. Seeing ever
A powerful practitioner could see things without solely relying on vision. After surveying around, Philip felt that it was a waste of time and decided to take everyone out. No matter what, he had to get hold of what he wanted before the other party tried to wiggle out of it. They were about to return the same way they came when they saw that the way had been blocked by something unknown. Aslan rushed forward and tried to force it open but to no avail. It had to be something special that they could not overlook. “They used something to trap us here. Those people are quite interesting. Do they think they can keep us here? What a joke!” Lyle cursed angrily. Those people were too much to play such underhanded tricks on them. Moreover, Philip and the others did not intimidate them or try to take their treasures by force. They could have negotiated a deal over it. However, the other party’s attitude seemed a little abnormal as they had no intention of cooperating. “Buddies, l
“Also, I smell a stench on them. How did they end up with that smell of decay and fish?” Katie joined in the complaints. As a woman who grew up in a fishing village, Katie knew that anyone would somewhat smell a little fishy if they had been in close contact with the sea and sea products for a long time, but elves were legendary nobles and had nothing to do with fish. She could not figure out why they smelled like that. Philip simply moved forward without a word. He had no answer to those questions either. The cave was dark and felt a little weird. Although he could sense his surroundings, the cave was filled with a strange and off-putting vibe. “I’m sure that the elf queen is up to no good, trying to trick us into entering this place. She’s probably going to deal with us. I have a feeling that something terrible lies ahead!” Aslan cursed, shivering as he thought of the other party’s ugly appearance. No one disagreed with his words. After all, they had seen for themselves h
“Take a look inside the cave if you’re up for it. I can consider giving you what you want if you leave the cave alive.” Philip nodded with satisfaction at the elf queen's cooperation. Although he knew that this was the other party’s trick to send them to their deaths, she clearly underestimated their strength. Once he was given the chance, it would be no different than delivering the treasure to his doorstep. “I look forward to this challenge. If possible, I hope all of us can enter.” Philip was excited. In his opinion, this was a great opportunity. The elf queen smirked smugly at Philip’s eagerness to die. This was exactly the effect she wanted. “No problem. All of you may enter. You can name your request if you can return alive, and I won’t turn you down.” The elf queen felt that Philip had totally fallen for her trick. Once they entered the cave, they would die for sure. The other elves looked at Philip warily. All hope was lost. They could only rely on their own strengt
“I’m surprised to find the long-lost humans in my territory. I've heard a lot about you.” The elf queen walked up to Philip elegantly. Hearing this voice, Philip looked back at the so-called elf queen, who sounded quite good. “What the heck?! She's so ugly.” Everyone could not help but curse after seeing her for the first time and had to cover their mouths, including Katie. Everyone clearly had the same opinion about this so-called elf queen, whose appearance was simply indescribable. “Is it true that only the ugliest elf has the right to become the boss? I thought the guard was ugly enough, but you bring ugliness to another level. How interesting.” Aslan was as outspoken as ever, and everyone burst out laughing at his crude remarks. Philip smiled at his sharp tongue. “You must be the queen of the elves.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the sight of the other party's goblin-like figure and shriveled wings. Although he had a smile on his face, the other party thought
