“Young Patriarch, we've arrived at Dreary Mountain, but there are several roads leading up. Which one shall we take?” Montel asked Philip at the foot of Dreary Mountain. Philip tossed the question to Garth. Garth cursed Philip inwardly but said good-naturedly on the surface, “Just take the road on the right until we reach the end.” He knew that the research lab was being strictly guarded because of the scientists inside. Philip would be finished once he reached the research lab. Garth would take revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered today. He would make Philip run buck naked through all the alleys and streets! Garth felt extremely happy at the thought of Philip’s miserable plight later. Philip speechlessly looked at Garth as the latter laughed wildly one second and looked melancholic the next. Philip almost thought that Garth had gone crazy. “Hey, wake up.” Philip slapped Garth on the head so that he would stay rational and not be immersed in his own wo
Once Philip entered the research lab, he would be a fly trapped in the spider’s web. Garth was no fool. He knew exactly how to contact the guards. At that time, not only would Garth be rescued, but Philip and his ignorant follower would also die in the crossfire! So what if Philip was a powerful practitioner? He could not hold a candle to technology! The Tampa family had been studying various kinds of practitioners and had invented many potions. Some potions could allow ordinary people to gain the power of practitioners! Similarly, they had also developed countless poisons that made practitioners lose energy and transfer that energy away. They did not make the results public. After all, too much information lay behind these potions, and the Tampa family was not sure that they could withstand the attacks from other practitioner forces. The Tampa family’s initial intention was to create their own force. Their family was not large, and most of them were unable to practice,
Philip had no idea what was going on. Grabbing a backpack, he walked into the hotel. He quickly arrived at the front desk. When Philip was about to book a single room, a woman approached him and took his arm. “Hello, we want a room with a double bed,” the woman said smilingly as if she was Philip's wife. Philip did not expose this woman’s peculiar actions. He wanted to see what she was up to. The front desk quickly arranged a room for the two of them, and the mysterious woman walked to the elevator with Philip. “I’ll pay for the room. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” As soon as she arrived at the elevator, the woman's tone became extremely cold. She withdrew her hand from Philip’s arm with some disgust. Philip was amused by her rapid change. Was this woman using him as a cover-up? She was pretty good at burning her bridges. “I’ve agreed to pay for your room. You don’t have to show me that face.” She was a little angry at Philip’s indifference. She
Clementine’s expression changed when she saw clearly what was in the backpack. Philip could feel her disgust and derision. “So, you have such a fetish.” Clementine smiled and grabbed her phone to give Philip a close-up shot. She found this extremely handsome man quite interesting. “Okay, I'm going out to shoot my video.” After teasing Philip, Clementine hid all the video-shooting tools in her clothes and sneaked out. Clementine was actually a horror vlogger. She usually explored and took videos of haunted places and posted them online to gain attention. Clementine had never shown her face, so no one knew her gender. They only knew that this vlogger was skillful, lucky, and bold. Clementine came across some comments from netizens and decided to explore this hotel. There were rumors about an extremely luxurious hotel halfway up Dreary Mountain. Although it was expensive and luxurious, it was extremely scary. Many people went missing in this place every year, and the
Philip checked the room after Clementine left and took out the Cockatrice Orb upon confirming there was no surveillance around. The Cockatrice Orb contained a lot of energy which Philip could use to level up. When Philip was not using it, this miraculous orb would automatically absorb energy to provide Philip with energy anytime and anywhere. Philip quickly improved his strength while holding the orb and easily reached the early stage of the sixth zone. Seeing that he would soon return to his former level five of the pseudo holy tier, Philip was full of anticipation. Philip knew he would not have made such rapid progress now if he had not laid a good foundation back then. The energy in the Cockatrice Orb was quickly exhausted, and it would be a long time before Philip could use it again. By right, the energy in the Cockatrice Orb could elevate a person to a higher level, but Philip was different. His energy veins and core were several times more powerful than ordinary peo
“Why are you here? Are you shooting a horror video too?” Clementine was a little curious. She saw someone entering the elevator and wanted to tag along. Clementine thought of knocking this person out after entering the elevator, but it turned out to be Philip. Philip was also a little confused and wondered how the other party got here. “How did you find this place?” Philip asked Clementine with a frown. This woman was really good considering she could hide from him. She was not a person to be trifled with. “I wanted to shoot my horror video, but I got lost. I walked around and saw an elevator here. It looks very scary, so I want to shoot it.” Clementine explained honestly with no intention of hiding anything from Philip. Philip frowned. She simply found this place by accident. “Why does this elevator lead to the basement? Why are you going to the tenth floor?” Clementine asked Philip out of curiosity. In her opinion, Philip was very mysterious. “Don’t ask unneces
Philip pulled Clementine into an empty office and saw several white lab coats hanging on hangers. “Are the new researchers here yet? They're very late.” “Aren’t they very good? Of course, they have to maintain such an attitude. We just need to be prepared to welcome them!” “Hehe, I wonder what’s so great about those two. We've been working in this place for so long and have no freedom at all, but they can't wait to get in! How stupid!” Philip and Clementine heard the conversation clearly, and Philip roughly understood something. The Tampa family captured many researchers to work for them in this place. Not only did they threaten them with certain things, but they also took away their freedom. “Let’s go.” As the two researchers walked away, Philip pulled Clementine out. He had gained an important piece of information. There were two new researchers in the research lab. Although he did not know where they were, they could escape using this method if they were discover
Clementine concealed her presence and sneaked to a deserted area. She was very confident in her concealment methods. Even an expert in the seventh zone could hardly notice her! At this moment, Philip was running along the way. No one noticed anything amiss because he was wearing a white uniform, protective glasses, and a mask. Everyone here was dressed like this. After all, they were conducting extremely dangerous research, so everyone was well protected. As Philip ran, he overheard the conversations of the people around him. “Dude, it’s time to conduct experiments on the Larson family today.” “They're really good seeing as they can hang on until now, but they're doomed today. We've run out of inventory, so we can only use them.” Hearing that, Philip became even more anxious. He knew that the lab was definitely going to use the Larson family for experiments. He had to stop them. He would not let them off if anything happened to the Larson family. Philip thought,
