Chaplin made the promise of several pills and paid a hefty price in exchange for several powerful subordinates, so he wanted to enjoy the convenience brought by them. They were quite strong and were very experienced hunters. They arrived at the city gates very quickly and were released after going through the registration and checkpoint. Chaplin wondered why the procedure had become so complicated. In his previous mission, he simply had to wait in the carriage for people to pay homage to him. After seeing him, the guards would bow respectfully and send him off. However, it was different now. He was asked to get out of the carriage and register, which he found insulting. “Send someone to find out what's going on. We need to get to the bottom of this.” Chaplin had a gut feeling that something was wrong. The hunters scowled. They were not errand boys. “Excuse me, Mr. Chase, our job is to bring you with us. Please don’t ask us to find information.” These experienced hun
The others were no better, gobbling their food in an unsightly manner, including Poppy, who was always graceful. Tory shook his head helplessly and finally had no choice but to join them. If he could not beat them, he should join them! With meat in his mouth and tea in his hand, he felt that it was a wonderful life. Sometimes, it felt good to lead an ordinary life. It took half an hour to finish their meal. Philip waved his hand and led everyone on their way. The burden was finally lifted from Tory’s shoulders. Now that everyone was ready to set off, they had no time to lose. Everyone hurried out and registered at the checkpoint. Aslan was puzzled and asked Tory curiously, “Why do we have to register here? Why is it more troublesome to leave the city than to enter?” Aslan's remark aroused Tory's curiosity. To be honest, he had no idea either. “Maybe they want to keep track of us because we’re going to the ancient ruins,” Tory guessed. Since they had a mark on
Aslan laughed and said, “These people are so stupid to have gotten trapped in a formation!” Aslan was very knowledgeable after following Philip for a long time. Hearing that, Tory stood on guard. This thing was not that easy to deal with. It would take a while to exit once they entered a formation. “Since there’s a formation, this must be the ancient ruins!” Tory said. Philip was exasperated and said, “Don’t be such a fool. You can tell that this formation is very lousy at one glance. These people are about to get out.” This formation was unique to normal people, but Philip could tell its disposition with just one glance. While Tory was in a panic, Philip walked over and easily destroyed the formation. His casual actions saved those people from a crisis. The victims trapped in the formation returned to normal in an instant. They looked horrified and had no idea what was going on. They were not that weak, but they were unable to do anything when trapped in the format
While the captain of the team tried to persuade them, Chaplin interrupted him. “I spent so much money to hire you to work for me. Do you think you can take it easy? We didn’t encounter any danger at the entrance, and we’ve been walking for several hours without any problems since we entered! “If there’s danger, there’s no way we could've made it until now!” Chaplin was certain that nothing would go wrong. The lives of these people meant nothing to him. The captain and his teammates scowled. They did not expect Chaplin to be so heartless. Under normal circumstances, everyone would be wary of such a dangerous place. However, this guy was ordering them to rush headlong into this place. He was simply outrageous. “Since you’ve accepted my payment, you have to follow my orders or you’ll get it from me!” Chaplin threatened angrily, intimidating them with his status. Captain Nico Wick scowled unhappily. He had never taken on such a mission before. This guy was simply disgusting
The team continued to move forward. As Chaplin walked, he thought of ways to earn back the money he just spent. He spent a lot of money to find information and hire help to escort him into the ancient tomb in the ancient ruins. Although this amount of money was a drop in the bucket, a miser like Chaplin was unwilling to spend a single cent. “Grab everything that you can see later,” Chaplin anxiously reminded them. He hired them for another important purpose. Captain Nico had a storage bag on hand. With this bag, he could take many things from the ancient ruins without anyone’s knowledge. Nico nodded. His bag was empty except for some medicine and weapons. His task was to bring things for Chaplin. The things would be split 80-20, which was good enough for Nico. While they moved ahead at top speed, Philip and his party finally caught up. Philip calmly glanced at the tunnel and found no danger. The tunnel was free of obstacles and very long. They would waste a lot of t
The onlookers felt angry when they saw that Philip and his party had arrived at the finish line safely and were waving to them provocatively. “Did you see that guy's expression? He's mocking us!” “Damn it, let’s go too. Don’t let them look down on us!” They felt that Philip had taken the head start, so they had to catch up. They moved quickly, but the tunnel was no longer safe. Someone had just taken a few steps when a long arrow zoomed through the air and pierced through him. Another person managed to run for several kilometers when a skeleton appeared at his feet and grabbed his ankles, tripping him over. As he fell to the ground, spikes appeared and stabbed through him. He died a miserable death. Very soon, everyone noticed the anomaly in this tunnel. This tunnel was full of various booby traps aimed at them. “What on earth is going on? It was safe earlier, so why did it turn out this way?” “Oh no, help me! This thing is about to eat me! I don’t think I can han
Most of the people they brought along died in the tunnel. The prince and his men scowled darkly at the closed tunnel. “This place is really full of dangers. We need to be careful from now on.” Someone said that, and everyone nodded in full agreement. They sat cross-legged in meditation, hoping to regain their strength quickly. If they failed to restore their energy, they would be dead if they encountered such danger again. “Something is weird about this. Why did the traps work when we entered the tunnel? Nothing happened to the earlier team when they did the same.” The people of the royal family discussed it. First Prince Baldric Hayes had entered the ancient ruins with his followers and his royal sister, June Hayes. They were very confident that they could gain something from this trip. However, reality proved otherwise. They were caught off guard before they entered the ancient ruins. “June, we've lost many people, so we have to be careful from now on. As for the ea
Philip finally discovered the truth upon careful observation of his surroundings. “It’d be bad if the others realized it. They’ll be right on our tail.” Lyle sighed. Fortunately, few people knew about it. Thanks to their arrogance, they did not pay attention to the inscriptions on the tombstones. “Since the safe time is only three hours, we’ve been here long enough. Some people will probably catch up soon!” Aslan felt traces of someone’s earlier presence. Due to his nature as a monster beast, he could tell the specific timing too. “It has been more than three hours. Someone must have arrived before us, triggering some booby traps.” Philip was pleased at Aslan’s discovery. Indeed, he had also found traces of the traps being tampered with. However, the traces were unnoticeable, which meant that the other party was very careful. It would have been difficult to discover if they were less observant. “I’m sure that someone has been here before us because I found these tra
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
“Fine. There’s nothing to be ashamed of even if I tell you the truth. I was once seriously injured and lost my memory. I can’t recall many things now.” It was true that Rabbit could not remember many things about the family. He could not hide it from the grandmaster forever. It would be exposed eventually. “Oh?” Hearing that, a gleam flashed in the black rabbit’s eyes. He smiled brightly as if he had thought of something wicked. “In that case, there’s nothing much to say. I’ll take you to find the elves. If you get the soul water, you have to give me some.” The black rabbit bargained with Philip. He should at least get some credit for his effort. If Philip agreed, he would get to work immediately. “No problem. I’m a man of my word. A promise is a promise. You can rest assured.” Philip smiled brightly. Hearing that, the black rabbit nodded excitedly without suspecting anything. He hopped up and down while telling Philip about the elves. “We need to get out of this place
After doing so many bad things, however, the tree monster could hardly enter the cycle of reincarnation now, so it felt depressed. Thinking of this, it burst into tears, no longer the mighty tree monster everyone knew. After all, it was a monster that had lived for thousands of years—a force to be reckoned with. It had just been about to reap the rewards of its labor when things turned out this way. The grandmaster hopped around and looked at the tree monster in disdain. He had no desire to enter the cycle of reincarnation, so he did not care about the tree monster's feelings. “It's easy for you to get the soul water, isn’t it? Just beg the elves for it. Who knows if they’ll help you, though?” the grandmaster said flippantly, his tone provocative. Philip glanced at Rabbit. He was certain they were from the same family now. They always spoke as if they were asking for a beating. The tree monster rustled its leaves to express its helplessness. “That suggestion is no different
“A true god simply represents a force. Some true gods are kind and willing to protect the people while other true gods are not interested in fighting and killing but prefer to run their own business! “Of course, some desire power and will find ways to improve their strength, even at the cost of sacrificing meaningless existences.” Philip was shocked to hear that human lives were considered meaningless existences to them. “You can find the chance to see the true gods who protect their people and do business, but you won’t see the bad guys because they usually hide in the mountains and avoid contact with people. “Every true god has a way to improve their strength, but this true god created such an evil thing to harm people. He can quickly improve his strength even if he remains in hiding.” Philip scowled after hearing the story. This true god had abandoned everything in pursuit of strength. However, Philip was also surprised that the true god could come up with such a smart
Philip believed that the tree monster was not lying. It had lost its memory and only remembered its so-called duty. Next, the grandmaster suffered the most nerve-wracking interrogation. “That tree has lost its memory, but you can’t say the same, can you? Tell us what’s going on or you’ll get it!” Philip grabbed the grandmaster by his long ears, causing him to scream in pain. Philip was too much to resort to violence at the drop of a hat. “I never said I won’t tell you. Stop manhandling me!” Although the grandmaster wanted to play dumb, he was more afraid of Philip. What if Philip got angry and wanted to kill him? He was no different from an ordinary rabbit now that his strength had been sealed. Without the strength to deal with Philip, he could only end up as his pet. “A long time ago, a mighty being created this land, which used to belong to the practitioners from the outside world. This place contained many opportunities, and many challenge levels had been set up for
“Philip, what do you mean by that? Why would an old dude want to attack us?” Foxy was a simple and kind monster beast. She did not understand the crude jokes they made. “Hehe, it’s jealous because we’re handsome and strong, of course. It's nothing but a loser. Especially after seeing how powerful we are, that old tree finally couldn't stand it anymore and exposed itself!” Foxy blushed at Aslan’s crude explanation and shyly hid behind Philip, cursing under her breath. Aslan had never cared about his image in front of his friends. There was nothing wrong with telling the truth. He did not have to maintain his image in front of other women anyway. He only had eyes for the lionesses in the valley. Without further ado, Philip grabbed the tree by its trunk. “Let’s see what’s up with you!” Philip grabbed the tree and pulled it up in front of him. He did it effortlessly and looked very cool. The tree monster was dumbfounded to find itself being dragged over in such a shameful
