The first elder’s image matched the heritage he received.The second elder was a little short. “Don’t think too little of Second Elder Burton. He’s the God of Alchemy. I’m sure you would've never seen such amazing pills before!” the village chief introduced him with a smile on his face. Hearing that, Aslan also smiled, but only Philip knew the meaning behind his smile. Obviously, Aslan thought that claim was a stretch. As someone who popped pills like jelly beans, he really wondered what magical pills the other party could make. “God of Alchemy? That sounds amazing,” Philip praised. Before finding out the actual situation, Philip would not offend them. The third elder was stout and muscular, obviously not simple at a glance. “If I’m not mistaken, this elder must be involved in weapon smithing.” Philip made a bold guess, which the village chief quickly confirmed. “Indeed, Third Elder Clay specializes in forging various weapons. Each of them has received the heritage of
After Philip returned to the room, he took the food out and scrutinized it. He could not help feeling that something was wrong with the meat. Philip could not tell what meat it was from the cooked food. He would only be able to guess after taking a bite. In desperation, Philip returned to his original world. Although he could not judge based on his senses, various technologies were available in his world. Philip gave Montel the meat and told him to find an appraisal department to determine what it was. Before Montel could react, Philip vanished from his sight again. Montel looked at the piece of meat and sniffed it. “Wow, it smells so good!” Philip had given Montel all the meat they collected. Montel quickly found a plate to hold the meat. After much thought, he finally decided to find a bag for the meat. While Montel went searching for a bag, someone sneaked into the villa. He pressed against the wall and quickly sneaked inside. The man smiled brightly at the sight of the
Montel quickly contacted a company that specialized in appraisals to conduct an appraisal on the meat as soon as possible.Philip was lying on the bed in his room and having a conversation with Aslan through voice transmission. “Philip, I have a feeling that something is not right. After thinking about it, I feel that something is off with the eyes of these people!” Aslan was a special person who always focused on weird angles in various matters. Philip was pleased to hear that. He thought Aslan had not noticed it. Philip had noticed the strange looks in these people's eyes during the meal. They looked normal on the surface, but a weird green light would flash in their eyes from time to time. However, they behaved normally like ordinary people, so Philip could not accuse them of anything just because he noticed that green light in their eyes. “What do you think?” Philip asked calmly. Aslan frowned in thought. He knew Philip was testing him. “I don’t think they're human,” A
The villagers actually fed them human meat today! Aslan felt offended. While they chatted, Philip heard voices conversing in the distance. As a person with senses far beyond normal humans, Philip could pick up the softest whisper from a far distance. Philip stopped chatting and listened to the conversation carefully. “Those two people have eaten so much meat. They’ll probably transform tonight, right?” That aged voice obviously belonged to the village chief. “I think they’ll change soon. We don't have to wait till tonight. They obviously haven’t had a full meal before to have eaten with such relish. It’s really interesting!” This voice belonged to the second elder. “Hehe, they’ll become our kindred after eating that!” The village chief smiled cruelly, but Philip could not see it. However, Philip could judge from the tone of his voice that he was not simple. Philip did not expect the villagers to be hiding so many secrets, but he still could not figure out their background
Fennel did not forget his duty and followed Wynn to the villa. Wynn pushed the door open and was dumbfounded. A huge lizard was waving its tail in the living room. Wynn was frightened to see this dark green lizard. Although she was already a practitioner a half step to the other shore, she was a woman, after all. Women were usually afraid of reptiles, so Wynn’s mind went blank. Fennel rushed forward and shielded Wynn behind him while blaming himself for his negligence. How did this terrifying thing appear within their safe territory? Everyone was accustomed to this safe environment and eventually stopped paying attention. Unexpectedly, this terrifying lizard turned up. Fennel sensed that this lizard had the strength of a half step to the other shore. Was that really strength that a beast could attain? Fennel scowled and said coldly, “Tell everyone to evacuate at once!” At this time, Martha heard the commotion and walked downstairs. She was in a good mood and planned to take
It would be best if they could talk in peace without fighting. Fennel did not want to destroy the villa. It was their home. It would be a nuisance if they had to fix it. The lizard struggled to return to his human form. Fennel looked at this unfamiliar face and confirmed he did not know this person. “Tell me how you got in,” Fennel said solemnly. The lizard that turned back into his human form ignored Fennel. Although he was still in shock, he could not be happier with his powerful combat ability. “Take note, my name is Yeger. From now on, I shall rule the world!” Yeger said with a smile, not taking Fennel seriously at all. In his opinion, Fennel was just his stepping stone. After he mastered the control over his body, he understood how powerful he had become. Fighting with the guy in front of him would be a piece of cake. Before long, someone found Martha in the bushes and pulled her aside without a word. Montel returned to the villa with the report. The researchers ha
Seeing that the other party was obviously stalling for time, everyone was worried that something might happen later. “Stop your meaningless struggles. All of us are practitioners a half step to the other shore and above. Do you really think you can escape unscathed?” Montel tried to persuade him. Yeger was amused at their attempt to get him to turn over a new leaf. “You guys are very interesting. Why should I compromise with ordinary people like you when I finally have this strength?” He sacrificed his appearance and some basic abilities of a normal person in exchange for this power. What was wrong with this deal? The shadow of his tail swung around and lashed out at everyone. He was confident that few people could physically withstand his full attack. Yeger smiled brightly when he saw Fennel's lack of reaction. He could already picture himself taking over this villa. Fennel looked very powerful but was so useless that he could not even react under attack. In fact, Fennel d
Since joining Philip's team, Fennel had become more animated. He was usually stoic, but he would show some emotions occasionally. Yeger was dumbfounded at Fennel’s remark. The man in front of him was so strong, but he was not the boss! How powerful was the boss of these people, then? “Tell me, how did you get in? What's your purpose here?” Montel said in disdain. He could not be bothered to explain anything to this guy. They were always at odds with each other, and Montel wished he could simply toss him out. Of all things, why did he choose to turn into a big, smelly lizard? Yeger lowered his head and knew that he had to seek help. Although he resented Montel, he had to oblige if he wanted Montel to clarify his identity. “There are rumors outside that this villa is full of treasures, so I found a woman named Martha and paid a high price for a token. “I didn’t think that this token was useful at first, but when I saw many people being blocked outside, I realized that th
“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
This young lady was finally strong enough to protect the beasts. “The grudge between me and those people runs so deep that I’ll never forgive them, so you can forget about it. You look like a good person, so I won’t make things difficult for you. You should leave this dreadful place at once.” Philip smiled helplessly at her words. “Don't worry, I don't like the people from Deadly Arena either, and I have a grudge against them too. In fact, everything happened because of them, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you want to restore this mysterious island to a place where the beasts can live in peace, you should work with me.” These people were not easy to deal with. Although Philip could deal with them with his strength, he would have to pay a price for it. It would be best if he had help. Philip had many ideas. “I’m surprised that you have a grudge against them too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let’s talk about this.” The woman smiled excitedly. “My name is Foxy. I
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
