With Hardy around, others did not talk that much, and everyone fell silent. Philip tilted his head and looked at the scenery outside the window. This was the first time he had seen such a dense forest since he came to the other shore. It stretched for thousands of miles with no end in sight, so at least the environment here was well-protected. The general appearance of some species was quite similar to those in the original world. Maybe because of the strong vitality, the plants here seemed much bigger, and even an ordinary flower was taller than a person. From time to time, birds and beasts that were disturbed by the convoy ran out of the woods in hordes. Seeing Philip’s surprise at the sizes of those creatures, Claire whispered, “Most special medicines are small in size. After all, it’s the essence that counts.” In front, Hardy frowned, tilted his head, and stared at Claire. Maybe because she was uncomfortable being stared at, Claire quickly said with a chuckle, “Of course,
The gazes of the two clashed, but no one else seemed to notice the tension between the two. “This eight-star clawed lizard isn’t something an ordinary expert can deal with. We need at least two or three seven-star practitioners at their peak to kill it. Mr. Shell, your skills have improved again,” Elder Whitmore said with a smile. Hardy ignored him and slowly closed his eyes, fidgeting with the exotic beast’s crystal nucleus that was still warm in his hands. The scrapped vehicle in front of them did not belong to Montana Alliance, so Philip and the others continued without further delay. Everyone was silent for a while when Carter suddenly said, “What price range of a vehicle are you planning to buy, Philip?” Philip was taken aback momentarily before saying with a smile, “I’ll think about it later when I have money.” Carter made no further comment. Soon, the hover car slowed down, and Elder Whitmore turned back and said to everyone, “We have arrived.” The car slowly par
“He’s Surrey Shell, the person with the highest practice level in the Shell family. He’s the supreme emperor of the ancient dragon royal family and also the only top expert in the seventh continent at the holy-tier level. Do you know what a holy tier means?” As she spoke, Claire stared at the image in front of her with admiration. This old man was the emperor of the ancient dragon royal family who ruled the seventh continent! A holy-tier powerhouse! “Oh.” “What do you mean by that?” … “The trip to the forbidden area this time is very dangerous. I’m very pleased to see everyone here.” The old man stroked his beard and continued, “I won’t be taking part in the young people’s activities this time. All the treasures obtained in the forbidden area will belong to the individual.” Everyone cheered at the announcement. “However, if we find anyone making trouble or robbing other people of their secret treasures, don't blame the royal family for showing no mercy.” As he spo
Soon, everyone assembled. Hardy, who disappeared earlier, also returned to the team, but no one asked questions. They had only heard a brief description of the sword gorge earlier. Although they heard of its magnificence, seeing was believing. The sword gorge itself was quite plain, but after thousands of years, some plants had grown and reached the edge of the sword gorge. As opposed to man-made, everyone was more inclined to believe that this was the work of nature. Standing on the edge of the sword gorge, Philip was deeply attracted by it. A god-tier being could actually do something like this with one blow. The sword intent contained in the depths of the sword gorge made the Caelum Sword in Philip’s space ring shrill loudly. They were now in the middle of the sword gorge, which was also the widest area. The team sent by the White Marsh royal family stood on the opposite side. Seeing this, the two parties immediately made arrangements for their people to take the hover
This passage had the strongest sword intent. Although it was possible to obtain treasures here, it could be a very dangerous trap too. Gradually, most people made their decisions. To normal people, the sword intent from the caves was almost the same, but some with stronger senses could feel the stronger intent from the third passage. Most of them chose to go there. Philip led the people of Montana Alliance through the portal and arrived at an empty field similar to a martial arts arena. Except for four giant stone sculptures placed in the corners, nothing else was in sight. Some people from Montana Alliance began to complain, “There’s nothing here at all.” “If I’d known earlier, I’d have selected another passage with the others.” There was not even another door leading to other passages in sight. The portal was a one-way transfer. Everyone started to search for secret treasures. One person walked up to a stone statue and said under his breath, “Is there any treasure in th
The swordsman who was initially disheartened because all his attacks were resisted promptly perked up when he heard Philip’s remark. He even started a continuous offensive without a pause. As everyone else was about to help, the stone statue's sword suddenly glowed green, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the light contained a wealth of wind elements. The sword reinforced with wind elements suddenly doubled in speed, and the swordsman actively attacking just now fell into a disadvantage in a blink of an eye. He missed one move and was cut in half from his shoulder. A few eager swordsmen stopped when they saw this, and their sword-wielding hands trembled slightly. “As sword practitioners, don’t we even have the courage to face our deaths?” A swordsman in a white combat uniform stepped forward and said heartily. “Espada Gate, Lazaro!” With that said, the man raised his sword and rushed to the stone statue. Other sword practitioners were inspired by this sig
Hardy glanced at Philip meaningfully before he chose a mecha and charged forth. “Claire, wish me luck.” Although his hands were shaking, Carter smiled at Claire and rushed forward. Philip stepped forward slowly and picked up a sword. Fire sprang from his hands and wrapped around the sword. His eyes became serious, and he said, “This is enough to turn you into scrap metal.” For a while, all the top experts from various forces sprang into action. If this offensive failed again, the entire troop would be wiped out. Although there was help on hand, Philip wanted to fight a mecha single-handedly. Most of the people were five or six stars with a few seven stars in between. Even if not everyone was proficient with a sword, they could fight this mecha just by the speed and strength of swinging a sword. Although the presence of other people around slightly affected Philip's performance, his every strike accurately hit the joints of the mecha. Gradually, the four mechas seemed to
About a thousand people entered this place, but only 200 remained. For a moment, everyone was attracted by Claire’s glowing body. This light was like a small sun that seemed to inspire others, and the screams gradually stopped. Even the remaining few mechas halted. Seeing this, Hardy was startled before he continued to attack the mechas in a gust of wind. Claire floated toward the nearest mecha with her hand raised and grabbed its sword-wielding hand. The mecha struggled but could not break free from the strange force emanating from Claire's hand. The mecha clenched its fist and punched Claire’s stomach. As everyone exclaimed in shock, they realized that the light on Claire's body gradually solidified and wrapped around the mecha’s arm. Creak! After a few sounds, the black mechanical arm held by Claire was slightly deformed. “Argh!” With a ferocious expression, Claire tore off the mecha’s arm. Seeing this, the other mechas wanted to help, but Hardy exploded with vio
