Philip led the other two into the village, and several brawny men walked out of each house. They wore strange and primitive clothes. Everyone mumbled under their breath, but no one understood them. “Young Patriarch, do you understand what they're saying?” Montel frowned, embarrassed that his prediction was wrong. How did they stumble into this weird village? They followed the route he predicted! Philip shook his head. He had never heard such rough language in all his years of travel. “I think I can roughly understand what they mean. I once made a video that used a similar language.” Clementine suddenly stepped forward like a savior, and the two men looked at her kindly. They had been wondering how to communicate with the other party. It would be great if Clementine could do it. “Tell them we hope to stay here for a few nights. We can compensate them for it.” Philip put his hopes on Clementine. If this failed, they had to find another place to stay. It was no
“This old man is quite the authoritarian!” Montel groused, amazed to enter such a village by accident. Montel started having doubts about his fortune-telling. He hid in the corner and kept thinking about it, seemingly very worried. Clementine talked to the village chief, and the two quickly reached an agreement. “Philip, they're willing to let us stay a few nights for free. There’s a vacant hut over there.” Clementine pointed to an inconspicuous hut in the corner excitedly. They came to the mountain in a hurry and did not bring anything with them. At first, Clementine was worried that they would jack up the price. Now, it seemed that they were willing to help them unconditionally instead. She chided herself for jumping to conclusions too soon. “We can’t take it for nothing. Let’s leave them some food later,” Philip said with a smile. Respect worked both ways. That was his principle. Clementine took out some snacks from her backpack. She handed them over to the vil
“If possible, I want to move this room back home!” Montel sighed as soon as he entered the room. He felt that he would get a good night’s sleep here. “It belongs to them. Don’t even think about it!” Clementine reminded Montel. Montel shrugged helplessly. “Fine, I get it. Do you really think that I’m a devil of destruction?” The two bickered, and Montel even gave the villagers different nicknames. Philip smiled and relaxed. The children in the village ran around happily with snacks in hand, the same with many adults. Clementine had given them a large bag of delicious snacks, and it was an eye-opening experience for them. They had been living in the mountains forever and had never left the village. The farthest they went was the surrounding areas. Their daily life only consisted of farming and hunting. People like them who were out of touch with society had no idea what these snacks were. Everyone was extremely excited to see them for the first time. Some people e
Philip could only ask Clementine to tell the villagers to remain alert and not to trust anyone easily. At this time, Kronos members were having a fit at the B&B. Kronos found out the trio’s whereabouts and wanted to ambush them, but they saw no traces of the group. They did not register at the B&B, but they chose to check in early in the morning, which seemed very strange. In the past two days, they turned the surrounding B&Bs upside down and caused a great panic, but it was all in vain! At the sight of his impending failure, the man in charge seemed frustrated and panicked. “Young Master Brutus, don't worry. If they're really here, they can’t stay in hiding for long. Someone found out that a treasure will be appearing here soon. I'm guessing they're here for it.” No one was a fool and quickly concluded after some observations. “In that case, let’s go into the depths to explore.” Brutus felt that his subordinate had a point and immediately decided to lead his men into
“Let's go this way. It should be around here.” Montel pointed to a huge boulder on the ground. According to his software, the treasure was under that boulder. Philip was delighted. He picked up the shovel and started digging several meters under but found nothing. Montel frowned at Philip’s questioning gaze. “Maybe we’re not supposed to dig for it but wait for it to appear,” Montel explained awkwardly. Philip sat on the spot without a word. As soon as Philip and the others left the village, a large group of people arrived. Philip never thought they would turn up so soon. Kronos members walked for several hours and finally saw a village. Everyone was very thirsty and wanted a drink right away. They had to travel lightly for this operation, so they had nothing on them. The village chief was uneasy when he saw this group of people. At his age, he was good at observation. He knew that these people were up to no good. Unlike the three people earlier, this group of
“Who are you? What are you doing?” Everyone shouted angrily, wishing they could kill Brutus. Brutus smiled and waved his hand. His men surrounded the villagers. He brought many people with him in this operation. Dealing with these primitive villagers was a piece of cake. Brutus signaled with his eyes, and a gust of wind rustled everyone’s clothes. This gust of wind was so strong that the villagers fell to the ground. They stared at Brutus in surprise, not sure what was going on. “What is this?” The village chief was a little panicked to encounter such a weird thing. The people in this village were born with great strength, but that was all. They had never heard of controlling the elements. “You don’t know? Let me tell you, I’m a god.” Brutus sneered as he waved his hand at the village chief. The next moment, the village chief fell to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood. He looked miserable. “W-What's going on?” The villagers were trembling. Even though
“I don’t know!” The village chief frowned, unwilling to reveal the other party's whereabouts. After a few days of interaction, they developed a very deep friendship with each other. This group of people was obviously out to kill Philip. Although they were villagers and very simple farmers, they would not betray others for this reason. The brawny men also insisted they had no idea and seemed resigned to their fate. As Brutus gave the village chief a good thrashing, the brawny men tried to stop the former. However, no matter how strong they were, they were ordinary people, after all. After a brief pause, Brutus stretched his arm to the village chief, who appeared in his hand the next moment. He could grab things out of thin air. The men in black took down the brawny men while Brutus grabbed the village chief in a chokehold. “Tell me what you know or this old man will die,” Brutus threatened. The brawny men hesitated. They were unwilling to reveal Philip’s wherea
Everyone smiled at Clementine's description, which was quite interesting. Montel carefully adjusted his device and found that the location was back in the village. “I’m sure this thing can move around, but I adjusted my equipment and found that it’s now in the village. Maybe the thing will come out from the village we stayed in earlier!” Montel patted his chest and assured them, seemingly very confident. Philip nodded. Such treasures were indeed very cunning. The better they were, the smarter. “Let’s go back to the village,” Philip ordered, and they set off. They looked forward to returning to the village. The villagers were simple yet interesting. After interacting with devious people in the secular world for a long time, they thought it was wonderful to interact with such simple villagers. The three hurried back to the village. A few hours later, Brutus led the Kronos members to the location where Philip and the others were earlier. “Their scent ends here. I thi
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
