Everyone rushed toward Clementine in a hurry, but with the ropes pulling them, their movements were somewhat hindered. “How stupid! These life-saving tools will bring harm to you instead!” Philip waved his hand calmly in the water, and the ropes binding them broke. Instantly, they forgot all about Philip. They tried to swim upward in a panic, but there was no buoyancy in the water. They could not move an inch even if they tried their best. Everyone's level was not high, and they could only stay in the water for about half an hour at most. They would die if they could not find a way out of here within half an hour. They were already in the water, so their panic was not as violent, unlike those who drowned after falling into the water by accident. “You still have 20 minutes. You should figure out how to survive.” Philip calmly looked down at everyone. He knew that they had no way to resist at all. The man who instigated the others just now was the most panicked. He wa
Everyone followed the arrogant man’s example and begged Philip for mercy. However, Philip remained indifferent and instead paced back and forth around Clementine. He sensed the resources at the bottom of the pond to find something he wanted. To his disappointment, he found nothing useful despite his careful search. “What a barren land.” Philip sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to check on Clementine, her eyes lit up, and she looked very animated. Philip felt that she had become a very beautiful woman. Her eyes had also changed from brown to blue. Seeing this scene, Philip knew that she had successfully received the heritage. He was surprised to find that she had received the merfolk heritage. Everyone was excited at Clementine’s success. They cautiously approached Philip, begging him to spare their lives. “Hey man, we know we were wrong. Please spare our lives!” “If you spare us, we’ll follow you from now on!” “I have some rare treasures that I can trade f
Philip collected many things and was about to leave when the others started panicking. Those who wanted to freeload became anxious and begged Philip to spare them. Many people who tried to hide the best things for themselves were also abandoned by Philip. Although Philip wanted those things in exchange for their lives, it did not mean he was willing to settle for trash. Philip would not give them a chance if they could not provide anything of value. More importantly, everyone only had one chance. If they missed it, Philip would not give them a second chance. “You must live an honest life. If you want to survive, you have to give up something of equal value. Offering such worthless pills is just an insult to yourself.” Philip pointed to the useless pills in someone’s hand and sighed helplessly. These pills with low efficacy might be useful for ordinary practitioners like them, but they were no more than jelly beans to Philip. In fact, they were even less significant than
They were teammates, after all, and getting a heritage was the luckiest thing possible. After observing Clementine, Montel rushed forward and grabbed Philip. “Philip, you must get a heritage for me too. Look at how powerful she has become! It’d be a disgrace for you if I didn’t get one too!” In their earlier interaction, Montel knew that Aslan had received a heritage too. In that case, he was the only one among the three without a heritage! He had no right to follow Philip with his strength. Philip laughed at Montel. “Don’t worry, I won’t forget you when I find a suitable heritage next time. The underwater heritage was a beautiful mermaid. Do you want to become a mermaid?” Philip said smilingly. The underwater heritage was indeed not suitable for Montel. Montel excitedly stepped forward and hugged Philip. “I knew you were the best, Philip. Let’s go and find a heritage!” Montel could not wait to set off immediately, and Noelle seemed expectant too. However, Noelle
However, Philip was not someone who would take advantage of others. Of course, that rule only applied to those he had a good impression of. He did not state his request but patted Noelle on the shoulder. “In that case, you can owe me three requests. Don’t worry, they’ll be within your ability,” Philip said. He could not think of something on such short notice. The only thing he wanted now was to find the Clarke family and seek revenge. However, Rome was not built in one day, and Philip knew it. Besides, he needed Noelle’s intel too, so it made sense to ask Noelle to work for him. Noelle was a member of the Trove Guild. He had never thought of recruiting her. However, only someone of her status might be able to get more information about the Clarke family. Nevertheless, this was not a good place to talk. Philip planned to wait until they were out of the secret realm before asking Noelle about Kronos and the Clarke family. Noelle was pleasantly surprised to hear Philip’
Aslan had to stand on guard against Noelle in case she did anything to Philip. Noelle was surprised when she saw that Philip was about to make pills. She was even more horrified to see Philip using such a precious herb to make pills. “D-Do you know how to make pills? And with such a precious herb too? Aren't you afraid of wasting it?” Noelle felt her heart skipping a beat as Philip tossed the herb into the cauldron. Aslan became more wary at Noelle’s words, ready to get rid of this greedy woman. Noelle felt his caution and seemed embarrassed. This guy was too defensive against her. Philip’s movements became faster. He soon used up one herb. Philip carefully planted the remaining herbs in his space with Robust Soil. He believed that he would get a good harvest soon. Noelle was dumbfounded at Philip’s smooth and fluid movements. Although she was quite knowledgeable in her own right, she had never seen such a powerful pill-making technique. Most people would lock t
Aslan was excited beyond words. It was the first time Aslan had seen Philip making pills. He could tell that Philip was a professional by his speed and movements. “Philip, you’re amazing. Why are you such a professional at making pills?” Aslan was overjoyed to serve such a powerful alchemist. In that case, he would never have to worry about pills again. As a monster beast, Aslan had a longing for pills. It was perfect to be bound to an alchemist now! Philip shook his head at Aslan’s compliment. “I'm not a professional alchemist. It’s just something I picked up when I had nothing to do.” Philip was very humble and had no intention of claiming credit at all. Only Philip knew that he learned all these techniques from books. Philip would flip through these books during his spare time, and the contents would just rush into his head. With his talent, he mastered these things very quickly without any practice. Everyone thought Philip was simply bragging. How could
In the end, Aslan eagerly stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth. Powerful energy poured into his body, and he turned into his original form. Everyone was dumbfounded to see that Aslan was a lion. Although Montel thought that Aslan seemed a little strange and also wondered about his name, he did not expect that Aslan was not human. Aslan did not care that he was exposed. He was bathed in energy and felt good all over. The pills certainly lived up to his expectations. After all, they were top-quality pills made from the most precious herbs. They healed all his ruptured veins. Even his sturdy physical body became stronger. Half an hour later, Aslan's body flashed with golden light, and he transformed back into his human form. Noelle stared at Aslan with surprise and mixed emotions. Aslan was a lion! Noelle was well-informed and knew that Aslan was most likely the legendary monster beast. However, such demi-humans were always very proud, not to mention that the li
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
