Philip slowly appeared in the underground abyss and saw a frail person, who did not expect to see someone else. “A human? After thousands of years, is this secret realm finally open again?” the man wondered aloud, sounding as if he knew the secret realm very well. After Philip walked in, he saw that the other person was not a human but more like a demi-human. If Philip guessed correctly, the other party should be a monster beast. This guy was at least five meters tall with animal ears, which Philip thought seemed like lion ears in the dim light. Philip was shocked by the other party’s appearance. He did not expect to see monster beasts in the secret realm! At first glance, this monster beast seemed to have an extraordinary status. Philip sized the monster beast up skeptically. The other party seemed quite strong, so why was he trapped in this place? The lion monster beast looked at Philip curiously too, not expecting to see a human in the ant nest. “Are the Marching R
Philip was quite envious of the monster beasts. They could live for thousands of years without practicing. It was a far cry from humans, who could only do that with continuous improvement in practice. “Thousands of years ago, I entered the secret realm by accident when it opened, and I couldn’t get out,” the other party explained to Philip awkwardly. “In that case, you could've found a place to hide and wait for the next opening. Why did you get trapped here by some ants? You look like a wreck.” Philip shook his head helplessly. This monster beast looked more like a pathetic chicken in distress instead of a lion monster beast. The other party said furiously, “Do you think I'm a fool who doesn’t know how to hide? At that time, I was lucky enough to have received the secret realm’s heritage. "When the secret realm closed, the natives woke up and went after me for thousands of years. In the end, I was captured and imprisoned in this place! “Back then, I reached the pinnacle of
“Can you really bring me out?” Aslan confirmed nervously, fearing that Philip was kidding. In fact, he was just trying his luck earlier. After all, Philip must have extraordinary abilities to reach here quietly, and maybe this ability could bring him away. Now, he coincidentally made the right bet! “What’s your name?” Aslan said nervously, placing all his hopes on Philip. Philip replied, “My name is Philip Clarke. Stay here for now. I’ll be back for you very soon.” Philip turned around and left. As Philip approached the Marching Red Ants, Aslan was very nervous. He knew that Philip must have some means, but he was shocked by his reckless actions. Surprisingly, the ants continued to patrol around him as if they could not see him at all. Aslan was excited at this scene. Philip was so powerful to deal with the ants so effortlessly. Philip quickly headed into the depths of the ant nest. The further he went, the more ants he saw. However, the ants here were smaller t
Philip performed a gesture with his right hand, and a huge ball of flame burned the tens of thousands of ant eggs. The fire got bigger and bigger, and the worker ants panicked. Philip also took advantage of the chaos and hid at the entrance of the cave where the queen ant was located. He planned to sneak in to get the Robust Soil after the queen left. Suddenly, the whole place started shaking as if the entire cave was about to collapse. Philip could feel something struggling to come out of the cave. Philip was shocked by that discovery. Was the thing that big? Then, Philip heard a clear voice. “Who dares to set fire in my nest? Find that person. I want to kill him to appease my anger!” A swarm of ants rushed into the cave and carried the huge queen out. Philip finally caught a glimpse of her. She was a demi-human, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of an ant. Although she was five meters long, that size could hardly cause the earth to shake. Moreo
When Philip was about to escape, he suddenly thought of Aslan. That guy was still waiting for his rescue! Philip quickly returned to the underground abyss and saw Aslan waiting for him expectantly. Aslan clearly felt the movement in the ant nest. He knew that Philip had done something and wondered if Philip could save him. Surprisingly, Philip appeared amid his worries! Philip sighed helplessly at Aslan’s tearful gaze. This guy had been trapped for thousands of years and must be longing for freedom. He stuffed a Prowling Pill into Aslan's mouth and overturned the shabby cage with one kick. Aslan exerted force and shattered the chains on his hands. In fact, Aslan could easily break the chains and break out of prison, but these Marching Red Ants were very powerful and kept a close eye on him. As soon as they sensed that something was wrong, they would poison him immediately. After so many years of torture, he simply gave up resisting. “Can we leave now?” Aslan was ful
Aslan felt that he had made the right choice. “I dealt with many alchemists back then, but I’ve never heard of such a powerful pill. I guess it must be your secret technique. In that case, you’re no ordinary person!” At this point, he lifted his head with pride and raised his right hand to make an oath with his soul. “I, Aslan Lavi, is a man of my word. From now on, I’ll follow Philip Clarke and become your most faithful servant.” As soon as Aslan finished speaking, Philip felt a connection between his and Aslan's souls. There was an inseparable relationship between the two, and Philip felt as if one thought of his mind could determine Aslan’s life and death. Philip only thought of recruiting Aslan as his comrade, but Aslan took the initiative to make an oath on his soul and form a master-servant agreement. Although Philip was very moved, he did not refuse. After all, they just got to know each other, so it was better to have this guarantee. “We’re finally here!” Ph
The five-hour journey was greatly reduced to half an hour with Aslan running at full speed. After arriving at the destination, Aslan turned into a human again. He leaned against the tree smugly while catching his breath. “Have we gotten rid of those ants?” He looked behind him nervously. He did his best in the past half an hour. Philip nodded. It would take a while for those stupid ants to catch up. While they fled, he threw his scent all over the place. It was enough to confuse the ants for a long time. After getting Philip’s affirmation, Aslan looked around doubtfully but did not see anyone else. “When the secret realm opened back then, many young people wanted to enter it. What happened to them?” He wondered what was going on. Philip shrugged and said, “The lake water outside the secret realm is very toxic, so no one can enter in large batches. It’ll probably take another day before they can enter.” Philip looked at Aslan, relieved that he was quite smart. As e
Philip’s scent could be concealed, but it was different for Aslan. He had been imprisoned for thousands of years, and the ants were very familiar with his scent. However, the enhanced pill could conceal his presence perfectly. As Philip headed to the Water Dragon Pond to look for Montel and Clementine, many people gathered at the lake outside the secret realm. They were the reinforcements sent by the major families. The families were waiting for the water to detoxify before they sent all their people to enter the secret realm. They were behind the academy in timing, so they had to make up for it with numbers. “Old Hobart, why don’t I see anyone from your academy coming?” Seeing only a few people around Mr. Hobart, the Millen family taunted him. He knew that those were the lecturers of the academy. They came here in a hurry just to make their presence known. They had no way to enter the secret realm. Mr. Hobart chuckled and said, “We've sent enough people inside. Besides,
