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
Aslan saw the bright smiles of these three people and heard their greeting, so he knew they were on the same side. “So, you guys are the teammates Philip has been talking about. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Aslan greeted them politely. Montel and the others looked at Aslan curiously while Philip facepalmed, not expecting that Aslan was quite good at human socializing. However, it was just a brief exchange of pleasantries with no significant impact. The troublemakers were furious because no one was paying them any attention. “Damn it, how dare you start chatting without paying any attention to us?” “What do you take the Millen family for?” Philip frowned at the angry shouts. It was the Millen family again. This group of people was so persistent and seemed determined to cause trouble for him. “So, it’s the Millen family causing trouble so boldly again,” Philip sneered disdainfully. He had long wanted to deal with the Millen family, and they had given him another oppo
After everything was done, Philip and Aslan turned around to see three people staring at Aslan with admiration. “Hey, what was that move you just used? Can you teach me?” Montel's eyes were shining. He wished to learn this trick immediately. Clementine also looked at Aslan eagerly without caring about her image. Although Clementine was not interested in this crude attack method, she was good at modifying things. Maybe she could turn this technique into something she could use. Noelle looked at Aslan nervously. As the successor of the Trove Guild, she was extremely smart and noticed Aslan’s oddity at a glance. She could even tell that Aslan was not a human. “Philip, the Millen family are quite powerful. You’ll be in trouble if they get back at you in the real world.” Noelle kindly reminded Philip that these people were not to be trifled with. Messing with them would only result in death. The Millen family were very vengeful and would always chase after their enemies to
Noelle was surprised at Philip’s easy-going manner and decisiveness in reaching an agreement so quickly. “After this, the Millen family will definitely band together to come after us. Don’t be scared, okay?” Noelle smiled and relaxed. Since they were a team now, there was no need to hide anymore. At this moment, whirlpools appeared on the calm pond surface, which quickly merged into one huge whirlpool. Everyone stared at this scene cautiously. Philip walked to the edge and stared at the whirlpool to see what was going on. “It’s dragon weed!” Verge Tower gave Philip an indication when he got closer to the whirlpool. This herb was actually the legendary dragon weed, extremely rare and precious. “With this herb, I can heal your injuries even before we leave the secret realm!” Philip patted Aslan on the shoulder excitedly. He could heal Aslan’s injuries with other herbs, but it would take a long time. The medicinal properties of various ingredients in Verge Tower
“But…” Noelle wanted to say something when Aslan interrupted her. “Isn't it just a priceless herb? So what? A little girl like you can't imagine what Philip can do!” Aslan could clearly tell that Montel and Clementine were Philip's true teammates, while Noelle was someone who joined them halfway. Noelle was stunned at their disdain for this precious herb. However, she could not display her true thoughts. Noelle finally chose to remain silent and waited for their next action. “Philip, why don't you tie this rope to me and let me take a look in the water? I have a feeling that this thing will disappear soon.” Aslan suggested a solution. He knew it would be dangerous, so it was better for him to take the risk. Philip waved his hand with a calm smile. “It’s okay. Don’t waste your energy on such a small thing. Just wait here and protect this place. Don’t let those ignorant people cause trouble here.” Philip jumped into the pond, looking relaxed and comfortable without
However, greed was human nature. Everyone risked their lives to enter this secret realm just for the sake of opportunities and adventures. Their desperate attempt to get hold of that thing was to be expected. Philip was terrifyingly strong. He could control his body very well even in this pond. Finally, Philip reached the bottom of the pond and saw a huge whirlpool. A woman with long flowing hair was spinning in the middle of the whirlpool. She was very pretty, but her face was frighteningly pale. After Philip's careful observation, he quickly figured out that she was not a human but a terrifying spirit. After making sure that the other party was unable to launch an attack, he sent a voice transmission to Clementine. He could not help but feel that this was a heritage point. Clementine quickly received Philip's message. She took a deep breath and jumped into the water. Clementine was initially worried that she would fall into the same state as those cannon fodders, bu
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
