Philip had encountered an extremely powerful being in the land of the other shore that radiated the same vibe as this bird statue. This powerful vibe was constantly warning and suppressing them. Philip had to be on guard at this discovery. The next moment, the bird landed on top of the statue and looked down at the two of them. Aslan looked at the bird but remained quiet. Instead, he followed behind Philip and watched the excitement. Philip glanced at the bird warily but ignored it. Walking forward, he quickly entered the hall. When they stepped into the hall, a majestic woman's voice rang in their ears. “Stupid humans, how dare you disturb my sleep?” When Aslan heard this voice, he spat out a mouthful of blood and backed away. He staggered out of the hall before looking back in horror. Philip felt the strong pressure too, but it was not enough to intimidate him. He stood in the main hall calmly, neither retreating nor advancing. Seeing that, the woman's voice ech
Philip stood on guard. He knew that Aslan had received a heritage, which prevented him from leaving the secret realm in time. Now that the other party was claiming that she wanted to give him a heritage, he had to be wary. “May I know what are your requirements for someone to receive your heritage?” Philip asked. “My physical body is in hibernation and can't communicate with you face-to-face. I’m speaking to you through a shred of consciousness I left behind. "Back then, we followed the Water Dragon King and wanted to help him break through his level, but we spent too much energy and fell into a hibernation state in the end. “To prevent any danger from befalling us during our hibernation, the Water Dragon King turned this place into a secret realm for future generations to help us overcome all difficulties. "Several people were lucky enough to reach this place back then, but their physical strength and spiritual consciousness were too weak to withstand my pressure.” Phili
“What secrets are you hiding?!” She sized Philip up, feeling more and more interested in this little guy. After the nourishment from the powerful energy, Philip's physical body became stronger and glowed with a golden light. The woman went crazy over his perfect body. “You’re too strong to be real! I need you to do something for me now.” Her voice became sharp as she composed herself. Philip felt that something was wrong and immediately became wary as he stared at the statue solemnly. The bird flew to Philip, trying to perch on his shoulder. “I need to use your body to reconstruct my body. Don't worry, I’ll leave you when I find a body as powerful as yours!” The voice was extremely ferocious, as if the owner was planning to take Philip's body by force. Philip's spiritual consciousness was much stronger than ordinary people. Now that he had reached the middle stage of the sixth zone, it was even stronger. Philip subconsciously knocked away the shred of energy that t
Philip finally understood the whole story. The bird tried to guide Philip to the other caves earlier to save their lives, not because it wanted to protect some treasure. However, Philip did get something out of it, which was this golden feather that played an important role for him. He could enhance his spiritual consciousness by wearing the feather. Whether he was practicing, making pills, or doing other things, it would be a boost to him. “This golden feather belongs to me now.” Philip picked up the feather, and the bird made no objections. It was her reward for Philip, after all. After everything was done, Philip walked to the cave entrance. Aslan was hitting and banging his head against the barrier desperately. He was all bruised and battered, but he still refused to give up. He even turned into a lion as he clawed the door vigorously. Philip was moved by this scene. He stepped forward and gently knocked on the barrier. Turning around, he motioned the bird to ge
Aslan was horrified by Philip’s encounter. That bird was simply a thug who tried to take Philip’s body by force. “I knew the bird was up to no good. Damn it, I’m going to rip the bird into pieces!” Since he had obtained the treasure, Philip ignored the bird and took Aslan down the mountain, where they saw many young men nearby. Some were alone, while others moved in groups. However, all of them looked as if they had just survived a disaster. “This damned place is so spooky. If I had known, I wouldn’t have signed up for it.” “What’s up with those ants? That big one seems to be a half-step to the other shore. How terrifying!” “That’s nothing. I was swamped by a troop of ants as soon as I arrived, and even my clothes were torn. Those creatures are simply merciless and unreasonable!” Many people ranted about the Marching Red Ants. They were happy about surviving the disaster. Philip and Aslan walked past them quietly without any intention of striking up a conversation. Th
The others looked at Philip nervously. They knew that this woman was practically the leader of this team. Messing with her was no different from courting death. Aslan glared at her angrily. Since this woman wanted to cause trouble, he would oblige. With Philip's consent, Aslan roared at this ignorant woman. The lion's roar was not a technique that ordinary people could master, which proved how terrifying the lion's roar was. Everyone was dumbfounded by this roar. Their shabby clothes became even more ragged, and they looked very miserable. The mouthy woman was stunned. Her hair was a mess, and she looked like a disgusting clown. More importantly, her whole body was full of terrifying wounds that looked like marks left by a knife. The mouthy woman was terrified by the wounds on her body. She hid behind a man in horror and looked at Aslan furiously. “There’s definitely something wrong with this man. How could he use such a disgusting technique?” The woman took out a h
Philip patted Aslan’s shoulder. “Don’t be hasty. We have ample time to deal with her later. Our priority now is to look for my teammates.” Philip could not be bothered about a shrew like that, so he was not angry about her harsh words at all. “You can deal with that woman if we bump into her again.” Philip knew that the woman and her group must have many valuables on them. He would never allow these people with hostile intentions toward him to leave this place safely. The more people were left alive, the better it was for Philip. They could help collect treasures for Philip. Finding an opportunity to catch them in one fell swoop was much faster than finding the treasures himself. Aslan gulped nervously when he realized Philip’s intentions. He felt that Philip was terrifying. Aslan was glad he chose to follow Philip instead of becoming his enemy. A few hours later, they finally arrived at the location marked on the map, which was very close to Water Dragon Pond. As
After thinking about it, Philip picked up a fallen leaf and tossed it into the pond. The leaf fell on the water's surface and immediately sank to the bottom as if it was dragged by something. All movements ceased after a few seconds. “I felt something dragging me down just now, and I couldn't float no matter what. It’s different from normal swimming!” Aslan nervously explained to Philip. It was not his fault. The suction was simply too strong. Philip shook his head. He did not think so. “I don’t think something was pulling you. This is different from normal water. It has no buoyancy at all. Anything that approaches the pond will sink.” Everyone was used to normal water. Even if they fell into the pond, they could easily float if they knew how to swim. However, the water in this pond was different. Anyone who fell inside would sink very quickly as if being sucked by something. It felt as if something was pulling them, but that was not the case. Aslan was startled. He k
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
