The Great Augur was startled. Was Philip not trapped in the Four Symbols Formation? How could he come here to save Raven now? When the Great Augur's eyes fell on the bounty hunters, he finally realized the anomaly. All of them had grown old. Let alone summoning the four symbols, they could barely even stand. “Raven, this is all your fault.” The Great Augur suddenly realized that Raven released so many manifestations just now to cover up his real purpose. His purpose was to help Philip escape, and Philip realized it long ago, so he helped Raven. As those ravens flew around just now, Philip noticed a black shadow landing on one of the people besieging him. He immediately thought that this might be Raven's real purpose, but he could not confirm it at that time. He only realized it when he saw the changes in the other bounty hunters after the ravens entered them. Raven’s curse worked the strongest on him, so even if he remained on these four people like a parasite just fo
Although this curse was so powerful to the point of being destructive, the price of activating this curse was not low either. The Great Augur's body was vaguely translucent, and everyone realized that they were covered in runes at this moment. Raven walked up to Philip. He looked at the Great Augur’s state and said to Philip, “It looks like the Great Augur is determined to keep us here.” Philip glanced at him. Raven continued, “The curse he’s performing now will destroy the structure of his body and cause irreversible damage to him, but he’s going all out just to kill us at the cost of injuring himself.” Philip nodded and squatted slightly. He was ready to fight the Great Augur to the death. The mark of the White Marsh emitted a temperature as warm as the sun. He was ready to go, and the White Marsh could come out whenever and wherever Philip wanted. The flying snake imprint on his chest was shining brightly too. When the shadow of the flying snake appeared before, it
The old man stared at Fenrir and snorted coldly. This simple gesture scared Fenrir out of his wits. He did not even have the courage to go one-on-one with Philip, let alone this old man whose level had surpassed him by far. He quickly signaled to the battle god battalion and the battle gods to retreat from the territory of the fire phoenix royal family. Philip said respectfully to the old man, “Thank you for your help, Sir.” Conlay came over and patted Philip on the shoulder while smiling. “I knew it must be you who made such a big commotion.” Philip also smiled and said, “But I didn’t expect that you would have such a powerful patron in the fire phoenix royal family.” The two chatted and laughed. Conlay spoke to Philip without caution, “Every royal family has powerful practitioners standing on guard, but the grandmaster of the fire phoenix royal family has been keeping a low profile to test us.” Hearing the conversation between Conlay and Philip, the old man coughe
The grandmaster asked, “If you insist on doing things your way and want to drag the entire fire phoenix royal family down with you, I’ll consider re-electing a successor.” Conlay merely waved his hand without even saying a word. However, his attitude was very clear. Regardless of whether he was going to be the successor of the fire phoenix royal family or not, he was very sure that he would believe in Philip. Raven followed Philip, and the two did not say a word until Raven saw the ancient ruins. At this time, half of the illusory formation of the ancient ruins were completed, and the energy fluctuation was not small. However, due to the special feature of the illusory formation, anyone who was not near the ancient ruins would not notice anything abnormal. “This place is very mysterious. We mustn’t barge in recklessly. If we offend the people inside, I'm afraid…” Raven stopped in his tracks and looked at the ancient ruins in front of him in amazement. He knew that people
Philip finally saw what was in the supply area. There were rows after rows of combat robots, mechanical beasts, and service robots. There were also half-human, half-mechanical creatures, which the system introduced to Philip as he looked at those creatures and wondered. “Mayor, the half-human, half-mechanical creatures that you’re seeing now are second-generation combat robots. “Based on the strength conversion of this continent, the strength of these combat robots is equivalent to that of a seven-star powerhouse.” Seeing the neatly displayed robots, Philip felt a surge of warmth in his heart. If he could make use of them, not to mention the battle god battalion of the ancient Heavenly Court, he could even face eight or ten battalions. However, the system reminded him at this time, “Mayor, due to your limited authority now, you can only mobilize the first-generation combat robots, mechanical beasts, and service robots. “You may increase your authority limit if you can pro
Philip was lacking in this area now, so he chose to let them patrol without hesitation and even sent out all the mechanical beasts and service robots. His objective was very simple, to bring the ruined city back to life. The ruined city was too lifeless, so Philip made this decision. Philip finally saw the tip of the iceberg of the ruined city. Philip’s top priority now was to find out how to get more energy to supplement the ruined city. Only then could he increase his authority limit. After everything was done, Philip received a message from Conlay. [Philip, the ancient Heavenly Court will be sending their true elites to attack you. I’m not in a good situation right now and can’t help you. You must be prepared.] Before Philip could reply to the message saying that it did not matter, Conlay sent another message. [I can only convey the news to you but can’t send you any help.] Philip had long expected that the ancient Heavenly Court would not let this go, so he coul
Such an order was issued because Fenrir's defeat this time was unjustifiable. For this reason, Fenrir began to contact the power he had developed in secret. Over the years, he had been in contact with various forces scattered on the continent. With his identity as a battle god of the ancient Heavenly Court, he even managed to recruit some people. The bounty hunters earlier could not attract his attention, but there were no other organizations in the territory of the fire phoenix royal family. Fenrir used his communicator to make contact. He had already issued a bounty for Philip before and now increased the reward several times. On top of that, he also contacted the forces he had developed in secret, telling them to kill Philip by hook or by crook. Due to the existence of the ancient city, the scenery in Blossoms Valley had changed from the previous wreck. The scorched earth was now covered with a layer of green. Everything was coming back to life. Especially after the
It was a creature with two horns, and it was gray in the color of the earth element. The princess was obviously not good at fighting, but she did try her best to capture the opponent in one fell swoop. However, the creature was obviously not as simple as the princess thought. The sand on the ground surged and dust billowed, submerging her water elements. This was not the underwater world, so the princess's advantage over the water element could not be brought into full display. Philip returned at this time. He rammed into the surging water and earth elements. With a muffled noise, the dust cleared. Philip looked at the princess and said with a smile, “Why are you fighting with the gray bull here?” Facing Philip’s teasing, the princess only felt ashamed. She wanted to help Philip to solve a little problem, but Philip ended up solving it himself. Seeing the dying bull on the ground, Philip raised his foot and said, “How dare you barge in here without even developing y
“So, what is she?” Although she did not show obvious characteristics, Philip could tell that she was not human. “Don't ask me. I don't know. I just know how wicked she is. How could she hurt Rabbit so badly?” Ronan shook his head helplessly, feeling sorry for Rabbit. He just wanted to find love but ended up like this. “I think Ronan is right!” Rabbit nodded thoughtfully. In hindsight, Rabbit could not figure out why he was attracted to her. “She’s a spider,” Selma interrupted. Everyone was shocked. That creature was a spider! “How could she conceal herself so well? Is she the same as you?” Indeed, Philip thought she concealed herself very well. At least Philip could not recognize her identity. Hearing this, Selma shrugged helplessly. “I don’t know if there’s another example like me, but I know that she’s not easy to deal with. She freaks me out.” Rabbit felt like throwing up when he heard that the woman was a spider. “What? A spider? I actually took a bath with
It would be fine if Selma was so unique that Ronan could not tell her situation, but what about the woman in front of him? “You must have some unique abilities to become the host of this competition. I don't want to do anything to you. I just want to get my rabbit back. If you refuse to let go of him, don’t blame me for doing anything.” Philip beckoned Rabbit, and Rabbit appeared in Philip's hand. Ariadna grabbed Rabbit in a panic, but it was useless. She could not control Rabbit at all. “How did you do that?” Despite thinking about it, Ariadna could not imagine why Philip’s control over Rabbit was so strong. “You stole it from my hands!” Ariadna's hands were shaking. She had been absorbing Rabbit’s energy before Philip arrived. Although it was just a small portion, it was enough for Ariadna to practice for a while. She was going to absorb more, but Philip turned up at her door and took Rabbit away. She could not accept this huge blow. “Give the rabbit back to me!” By
Philip simply wanted to find out what the woman had done to Rabbit. “Taking something without permission is considered stealing. Your behavior makes it difficult for me to forgive you.” They recognized this woman as the host of the family competition. She was a beautiful woman, and many people took part in the competition because of her. After the competition, they were still fascinated by her and felt depressed because they could not catch her attention. Many people recognized her, so they were annoyed by Philip’s tough attitude. They thought that Philip should not treat their goddess so badly. “That must be Philip. Why is he so high-handed? He broke into the room while someone was taking a bath and wanted to mess with her too. He’s really rude!” “Maybe he thinks he has enough treasures to do whatever he wants!” “I won’t allow such people to go scot-free. This city is governed by humans, and we have to abide by the rules. So what if he’s human? Anyone who doesn’t follow
Selma’s question reminded Philip that such myths and legends did not exist in this world, so they would not know who Quetzalcoatl was. Philip was willing to help because he thought that this woman was very likely a descendant of Quetzalcoatl. Only Quetzalcoatl looked like this in the myths. Quetzalcoatl was a deity with a human body and a snake tail similar to Selma. She was beautiful and was said to have played a key role in the world’s creation. Although Philip had no idea what ability Selma had, he could tell that she was not weak—at least much stronger than he imagined. If the dumb diners outside thought that Selma was a pushover, they could not be more mistaken. She could not only wring their necks easily but also obliterate them. “I just recalled a mysterious legend. I can’t be sure of your origins. Maybe we can find something when we enter the so-called secret realm. I’ll set off after the family competition.” Philip quickly got some information about their family an
Ronan was surprised to see Selma’s true appearance. Of course, he knew about the numerous humanoid races in this world, but he had never seen this type before. “I’ve heard of snake people who can either turn into snakes or humans. What's your situation?” Ronan was curious, but he accepted this situation very well. “That’s the reason I want to approach you.” Selma shook her head helplessly. “Our race is very unique. We don't know who our ancestors are and have never entered any territory related to humans or humanoid races. We're neither snake people nor humans but a special race of our own. Before every storm, we feel sore all over and shed a layer of skin.” Philip was curious. That description sounded very weird. Ronan was more knowledgeable about this topic, so Philip wanted to learn more about the snake people from him. “As far as I know, snake people don't have this problem. They’ll only shed their skin after reaching a certain age, unlike the situation you mentioned.”
The diners were surprised at this scene. As frequent customers, they had never seen the owner appear in person, let alone greet someone. The owner actually took the initiative to walk out today. “Sir, you don’t have to wait any longer. Please take a seat in the private room reserved for you.” The snake woman smiled brightly, obviously very interested in Philip. All the male diners were jealous and wished they had the same opportunity. However, she was here for Philip and ignored everyone else. She did not even spare anyone a glance as she walked away. Although everyone was jealous, they knew that Philip was a capable person. The woman approached Philip probably because of his extraordinary talent, so there was nothing they could do about their jealousy. They had taken part in the competition as well and knew how strong Philip's people were. Just one kid alone took the Wagner family down.Some people felt indignant and wanted to mess with Philip. At this time, a kid walked
Ronan gave Philip a thumbs-up as everyone returned to their meals. His words really carried some weight to command these people with just a casual remark. Philip was unfazed by the compliment. He was staring at a person. To be precise, he was looking at a curtain where a woman behind the curtain was staring at Philip too. She was the owner of this diner, and she was not a human but of a humanoid race. She had the upper body of a human, which was very beautiful and attractive. Anyone would be attracted by her beauty with just one glance. However, she had the lower body of a snake. The diners would turn their heads from time to time and look at the curtain as if trying to catch a glimpse of that woman. A gust of wind would ruffle the curtain from time to time, allowing everyone to see the woman’s face and marvel at her beauty from the bottom of their hearts. Philip sneered at their reaction. They were really stupid for not realizing that she was half-human with a snake’s tail.
Ferocity flashed in Cameron’s eyes. If Ronan refused, things would be difficult. Cameron would never allow such a strong enemy who had a grudge against the family to stay alive. Anyone who posed a threat to the family would arouse his killing intent. Other family members gathered around and expressed their dissatisfaction with Ronan. “Who does he think he is? Is it beneath him to have lunch with us? He really thinks he's a big shot!” “Does he think we’re unworthy to eat with him? How ridiculous!” Everyone complained and thought Ronan was an arrogant person. Ronan was not bothered about their opinions of him at all. He wished they could treat him as their enemy. “Your performance was quite good. The deep-sea merfolk are probably furious by now,” Philip said with a smile. Ronan's performance was indeed outstanding, and his extraordinary actions humiliated the other party. “They must've decided to mess with you during the finals, but I ruined their plan. I’m sure they’ll
Tangy nodded. He would never show any sign of weakness. Tangy knew that Nolly wanted him to continue the battle against Philip. It was also one of his dreams, so he would never give up so easily. “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll never let Philip leave this place alive. Since we can’t defeat him openly, let’s settle it in private. I believe he’ll fall into our hands eventually,” Tangy said viciously. He thought of a plan to deal with Philip. “But you need to take care of the kid under Philip’s command. He’s so strong that I think he has awakened his latent ability. I don’t think I’m a match for him.” After careful observation, Tangy determined that the kid had awakened his latent ability. Nolly nodded in agreement. It would be embarrassing if they failed to seek revenge. More importantly, they made such a big fuss yesterday and even vowed to deal with Philip. This situation was embarrassing enough already. “Let’s do this…” They discussed privately and quickly decided o
