Unlike humans, monster beasts could absorb energy by nature, so monster beasts were already stronger than most practitioners since birth. Aslan could no longer absorb energy on his own and was no different from an invalid. Hence, he had to first repair his energy veins before he could improve his strength and return to his original level. Aslan was fully aware of this and sighed helplessly, at a loss for what to do. “I once tried to use my energy to restore those damaged veins, but it was too difficult! My efforts bore no results at all and even consumed the little energy I had left.” Aslan was full of frustration. He never dreamed that he would experience this. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and it was embarrassing to lose the ability to practice. “Can you help me? If I can regain my peak strength, I can be of great help to you.” Aslan pinned all his hopes on Philip. For some reason, he had full confidence in Philip. He somehow felt that this young m
“Not only did that bird steal my things, but it also pooped on my head! It went too far!” Philip could totally imagine the scene. He was very interested in the treasure mentioned by Aslan and wanted to know what it was. “Since we have time, let’s go and take a look. The treasure flew out from the mountain back then, so we can head there.” Aslan turned into a huge lion and carried Philip on his back up the mountain. Aslan quickly made his way up the mountain with his huge size and agile movements. The day passed in the blink of an eye. Many people entered the secret realm one after another. The first batch of people who entered the secret realm were very lucky with no major casualties so far. However, things were different for the next batch. As soon as they entered the forest, they encountered the Marching Red Ants who were frantically searching for their enemies. The ants were good at fighting and appeared in troops, so their strength could not be underestimated. The
Philip was more perceptive than Aslan. Although the latter was very strong and belonged to the monster beast family, he was no match for Philip’s techniques. Philip’s perception was the best! Aslan looked at Philip curiously and asked, “How did you know there was a magic circle there? I came here before and didn’t notice anything.” Aslan looked at Philip with admiration. If not for Philip’s young age, he would have thought that Philip had been living here for a long time. Philip was embarrassed. He had no idea how to explain this. If he told the truth, it would seem that he was bragging. In any case, it would make no difference. Philip decided to keep quiet and retain an air of mystery. After sensing the magic circle, Philip felt a little nervous. There was more to it than met the eye, and Philip was neither good at making nor breaking magic circles. He worriedly searched through Verge Tower but found no books about magic circles, leaving him in a dilemma. If he could n
Aslan picked up some stones from the ground and threw them at the bird. However, the stones could not get close to the annoying bird at all. They shattered as soon as they reached the village. The bird flew to the village in fright. Aslan cursed indignantly as the bird vanished from his sight. He wished he could go back in time to a thousand years ago, when he would still have the chance to deal with this wretched bird. However, that was wishful thinking. He obviously could not deal with the bird and was humiliated again and again. “Philip, think of a way for us to enter this village. I want to catch that bird and make you some roasted bird meat! Your strength will be greatly enhanced after the meal. Trust me!” Aslan said viciously, hating the bird to the core. Philip chuckled at Aslan. He was definitely going to enter the village, but he had yet to figure out the way. He was baffled too. Philip tried to get closer to the village and found a strong force sucking him into
Aslan grimaced at Philip’s suggestion of tossing him over. “Forget it, I think you should toss me over instead.” In hindsight, how was Aslan going to bring him over? In that case, the first option would not solve the problem. To be on the safe side, Philip decided to go alone. Aslan was more exasperated at the thought of Philip acting alone. His life was bound to Philip’s. if something happened to Philip, he would not be spared either. Nonetheless, Aslan wanted to trust Philip. “Okay, since you have the galls for it, I’ll join you!” Aslan patted his chest as if to assure Philip. Philip nodded. After all, Aslan was an elite monster beast, and Philip trusted him. At Philip’s command, Aslan made a lifting motion. Philip stepped on his hand and jumped forward. Aslan used all his strength to throw Philip up. Philip underestimated Aslan’s strength and was sent flying. He quickly exceeded the range of the magic circle and entered the village. Philip was extremely
However, Aslan was not interested in this secret treasure at all. “I don’t care about the treasure. I just want to get my hands on that damned bird!” Aslan said viciously, wishing he could tear the bird into pieces. Philip laughed at their deep enmity. “Wow, you actually hate that bird so much. But this place definitely contains valuable treasures or there wouldn't be a divine beast standing guard here,” Philip said calmly as if he had uncovered everything. “A guardian divine beast?” Aslan exclaimed in surprise. “Yeah, let’s not deal with it for now. You have to wait until I get the thing before you can touch that bird,” Philip said. He was afraid that Aslan could not hold back his anger and seek revenge. Aslan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Philip would stop him from dealing with that legendary divine beast. He really hated that damned bird very much. Philip wanted to tease Aslan but lost the mood after looking at the cave filled with bones.
Aslan quickly approached Philip to find out how to use the pills. After all, monster beasts like them had very few pills, so he was very interested in them. As soon as he heard that Philip was actually giving him a treasure like the replenishment pills, he instantly became Philip’s fanboy. “Why don’t you give me the whole bottle so that I can slowly consume them?” Aslan was expectant, hoping to get more. Whether he would take the pills or not, they could play a big role in the preservation of his life. They could be used as a powerful counter-attack at critical moments. They were more valuable than anything else. Philip rolled his eyes. This guy thought too highly of himself. “Shut it. Do you think the pills are produced in bulk?” Although Philip had a lot of them, it did not mean he would generously share them. Even if Aslan was now one of his own, his ignorance gave Philip a headache. Philip resolved to spend some time teaching him some things after this. When Aslan
Aslan tentatively sought Philip's consent. “How could it point the treasure to us? If you ask me, it probably wants to lure us into the trap it set,” Philip said calmly like a wise man who had seen through everything. Aslan was skeptical. He did not think this was a trap. “But it flew out from inside!” Aslan frowned, thinking that the bird had many secrets. Philip shook his head and said, “Since it’s a guardian divine beast, it wouldn’t stray too far away from the thing it’s guarding. Since it’s flying in one direction so anxiously, this proves that it wants to trick us,” Philip explained, and Aslan looked thoughtful. Maybe it was all the bird’s conspiracy as Philip mentioned. “Let’s find out if my guess is right.” Philip smiled as he walked to a cave. There were several spooky caves around, and Aslan had no idea why Philip picked that one. When he thought Philip would enter the cave, Philip simply walked back and forth at the entrance with no intention of going in.
