They were extremely lucky to enter the secret realm one day in advance. Those who did not get the pill could only wait helplessly by the lake until the toxicity reduced after one day before they could start to explore. Under Philip’s lead, everyone rushed to the bottom of the lake. After diving for a full hour, they finally saw the destination. Philip explored the surroundings with his powerful senses and found a cave entrance in a rocky mountain on the upper left. He pointed forward as a signal to everyone. They had been swimming for an hour, and most practitioners could hardly hang on. If they failed to find the entrance to the secret realm, they might have to go up for some air. If that happened, however, it meant that their earlier effort would be in vain. Just before they reached the entrance, Philip saw a huge mouth biting in his direction. He quickly dodged and waved everyone away. Some people were swallowed before they could react while others were injured and
Montel knew that Clementine did not know much about practitioners. She was probably a small-time casual practitioner. “However, not everyone will receive the heritage. Usually, only one person can truly accept the heritage. If one didn’t get the heritage but could still leave in one piece, they’d definitely make huge progress. Achieving a half-step to the other shore isn’t an impossible feat!” Montel spoke incessantly, while the others were excited, especially the students of the academy. They joined the academy to gain protection and improve their strength. If Montel was right in saying that successfully passing through the secret realm would lead to unlimited potential, they had to give it a try. Philip’s interest was piqued, and he said, “I wonder what the heritage of this secret realm is.” Although he had various treasures, he would not refuse more. It would be best if he could get this heritage too. “Let me make a prediction.” Montel grinned and took out his tablet
The Pill Guild was very lucky. Both their members were safe and sound, but that was not the case for the Millen family. A member of the Millen family was taken away, while the other one had his arm bitten off, looking extremely miserable. This person wanted to ask other families and factions for help, but everyone was too concerned about their own safety to take care of a loser. “If anyone is willing to take the Millen family along, we’ll be eternally grateful!” The Millen family member noticed everyone’s indifference and said, “I’ll definitely report this incident to the Millen family and seek hefty compensation for your help!” He looked at everyone anxiously. His bleeding had stopped, but his movements were severely impeded. He would definitely die in this perilous secret realm without anyone to protect him, not to mention getting anything for the Millen family. The two Pill Guild members exchanged a nervous glance. In fact, everyone wanted to work with the Millen famil
“We’ll go with your decision and do whatever you say,” Clementine said with a smile. They just had to be prepared to fight. As for where and when, that was up to Philip to decide. As they made the decision, someone approached them. Philip and the others looked at the woman warily. Philip felt that this woman was definitely stronger than the third zone. Obviously, she had suppressed her level as he did. “What’s up?” Clementine frowned and stood in front of Philip, angry at the sight of this beautiful woman. A beautiful woman like Clementine by Philip’s side was more than enough. Another one would only add to her worries. Hence, Clementine was hostile to this unfamiliar woman. It was best to keep her away from Philip. The unfamiliar woman smiled gently at Clementine’s aggression. “Don't get me wrong, I mean no harm. I want to work with you.” Montel and Philip looked at each other, curious about this request. Normally, these families or factions would think of recr
“I’m afraid you won't dare to work with me once you know my identity,” Philip said with a chuckle. He really wanted to get connected with the Trove Guild. Philip thought the woman would give up upon hearing his remarks, but she became more excited instead. “My name is Noelle, an external agent of the Trove Guild. I’m responsible for all external affairs, so I have the right to decide whether to work with you or not. "I'm not curious about your identity. If you’re very mysterious, I don’t mind hearing about it, but I just want your protection in the secret realm for now.” Noelle’s intention was very straightforward, and it sounded like a pretty good deal. Montel furtively poked Philip, thinking that they should agree. Clementine frowned unhappily. Although Clementine wanted Philip to refuse the other party’s request, she was just a subordinate and could not make decisions for Philip. Philip pondered briefly and agreed to Noelle's request. “I agree. I have no demands fo
Noelle approached curiously and stared at Montel's tablet carefully. As a member of the Trove Guild, she was interested in all sorts of weird things. She had never seen anything like this before. “What are you looking at? Don’t you know how to listen with your ears?” Clementine frowned in displeasure, wanting to push Noelle away. Philip waved his hand calmly. Before he could speak, Noelle said, “What’s the big deal? The Trove Guild has something to detoxify poisons too, but it’s just useless against the lake water. However, I believe we can more or less neutralize the poison in the secret realm.” Noelle took out a few pills and handed them to the other party. “Look, these are the pills prepared by the Trove Guild. They look quite good, huh?” Clementine laughed disdainfully at Noelle’s smug look. “Excuse me, but we don’t need such things!” Clementine was not an impulsive person, but her jealousy got the better of her. “Our pills are much better than yours!” Cleme
Philip chuckled at the name, which sounded exactly like a place for taking a bath. “Someone like the Water Dragon King needs to take a bath too? With so much water in the lake outside, he could simply transform into a dragon and take a dip there.” Montel laughed as he walked as if he was amused at the thought of the dragon king taking a bath. Philip had to give Montel a thumbs-up for his fearlessness. Suddenly, Montel tripped and fell to the ground. Everyone smothered their laughs at this quick retribution. “You need to pay attention to your words here. You deserve this for bad-mouthing others!” Clementine covered her mouth and laughed at Montel’s funny antics. Everyone laughed and joked as they moved forward. Noelle quickly integrated into the small team. Although Clementine still had opinions about her, they were no longer at each other’s throats. Philip walked in front and soon saw a pile of bones. “This skull doesn’t look human, probably some humanoid creature nat
Fortunately, Philip’s earlier action did not attract the attention of these ants, which were busy chewing on the bison. They paid no heed to Philip, who was watching the excitement. The others approached cautiously and held their breaths in shock when they saw the scene. These red ants looked terrifying, each with powerful mandibles that could easily tear a human in half. “Good grief, that bison must be at least seven or eight meters in length.” Montel transmitted the message to everyone, surprised at this scene. Others followed his cue and started communicating via voice transmission, fearful of this army of ants. “Young Patriarch, why don't we leave?” Montel said to Philip nervously. Montel felt an extremely powerful energy in these ants and was very scared. Noelle's eyes lit up upon hearing Montel’s address toward Philip. Although she learned everyone's names just now, Noelle could not guarantee if those were their real names or their true appearances. The strength
