“Are you right in the head? Isn’t that the only reason for everyone to explore the ancient ruins? Do you expect me to make pills or forge weapons here?” Philip’s taunts were spot-on, and Chaplin scowled. He did not expect Philip’s tongue to be so sharp. Under normal circumstances, the other party should think twice and finally choose to shut up after hearing his mockery. However, Philip dared to retort, which was very bold. “Damn it, do you know who I am?” Chaplin glared daggers at Philip. Philip shrugged nonchalantly. “I don’t care whether you’re human or ghost. I’m just afraid that you won't be able to hold on and will be defeated by a beast.” Philip did not take another step forward but stood behind Chaplin with his people as if waiting for Chaplin to take the lead. Nico was worried to see them bickering. He reached out and nudged Chaplin to remind him. “Stop arguing with him. Let them go first. There must be something wrong ahead. We can let them be cannon fodder!
Chaplin was furious by the formation master’s incompetence. “You’re nothing but a piece of trash. Get out of my sight and don’t let me see you again!” Chaplin cursed angrily but quickly put on a different face. The people in front of him were sent by the Hayes family, which was the royal family and represented the emperor’s force. No matter how arrogant Chaplin was, he would never dare to offend anyone from the royal family. “What a surprise to see you here. In that case, shall we explore the ancient ruins together? With all these riffraff around us, you need to watch out for sneak attacks!” Chaplin said meaningfully and glanced in Philip's direction. His underlying meaning was very obvious, reminding everyone that Philip was the bad guy. Sure enough, everyone stepped back in fear as if Philip was a time bomb. Philip was amused by their reactions. His only thought was to get these people to go ahead and lure the beast out so that he could take a good look at it. At th
Philip could tell that Lyle really disliked Baldric. Who would bear such ill will against someone they just met? Unless something had happened between them. Philip did not ask this question in front of everyone. Lyle must have a reason for not mentioning it. Philip would tell everyone once Lyle was willing to talk. As everyone moved ahead quickly, a tiger appeared and arrogantly blocked the path. Before anyone had time to react, the tiger took action. The tiger opened its jaws. A purple ball flew out and hit someone squarely. The purple ball turned into an ice spike and plunged into the man's chest. The ice spike split apart, and the man froze all over. His energy core exploded, and he was no more. Some people nearby were unlucky enough to be hit by the aftermath and were greatly weakened. “It’s a Purple-Winged Tiger!” Poppy covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock. She had seen a description of this tiger in that ancient book too. It was a winged tiger that lau
Baldric wanted to take this powerful creature for his own. Nico was furious upon hearing this. Everyone was fighting for their lives, but this shameless guy could only think about how to take this beast for his own. “You’re unbelievable! Aren’t you supposed to be thinking about how to deal with this beast?” Nico and the others were having a difficult time fighting the beast. No one dared to go all out because they had no idea if anyone would stab them behind their backs. Baldric signaled his men to watch out and led them into battle. The others followed his cue like his loyal lapdogs. Nico breathed a sigh of relief when everyone joined the fight. At least no one would stab them in the back when they were exhausted. However, Chaplin stood aside and watched the fun without playing a role. He knew that he could not do anything to the tiger with his strength, so he might as well just stand aside and watch the show. Besides, he had to reserve his energy to make pills whe
June stared at Aslan as she spoke. The people around June scowled. Her words humiliated everyone. However, her status was so high that they could do nothing even if they were angry. “Hehe, it’s best if you hand him to me once you’re bored with him, but make sure you don’t hold back. Just do whatever you please to this guy.” The two whispered in the corner, and Philip and the others had no desire to eavesdrop. Aslan felt an itch in his nose as if someone was plotting against him. “My nose is itchy as if someone is talking bad about me.” Aslan frowned and rubbed his nose in confusion. Philip was amused and said teasingly, “Maybe you caught the flu.” Aslan was furious and said, “Are you kidding me? As a royal monster beast, how can I catch the flu? Besides, I’m a practitioner too. I’m not that fragile!” After saying that, he could not hold back a loud sneeze. “Ahem, this is annoying.” Aslan rubbed his nose, hid behind Philip, and looked around suspiciously. Everyon
The tiger was obviously trying to prevent them from entering the ancient ruins and taking the treasures. Since someone had grabbed its attention, so they had to take advantage of it. “Miko, take them in and leave this to me,” Nico ordered. He knew that it was not that easy to deal with this beast. He could only try his best to hold the beast back and let Chaplin and the others do what they had to. Miko nodded and walked inside with Chaplin. The other helpers evacuated one after another and quickly entered the depths of the secret realm without the other party realizing it. Baldric scowled when he saw their despicable actions. “As expected of hunters, they're more experienced than us in a place like this,” Baldric said. He did not lower his voice but said it aloud. Nico overheard Baldric and stared at him with a straight face without any emotional fluctuations. As a hired help paid to escort Chaplin, his purpose was to help Chaplin escape. “Hey guys, take care of thi
Nico wanted to negotiate with Philip, so he had to tread carefully in case Philip attacked him. Nico was stalling for time with two or three other team members here. It would be a huge problem if Philip and his gang attacked him. “No deal.” After saying this, Philip left with Lyle and the others. They practiced a special technique that rendered them as light as a feather, making it easy to leave this place. After Lyle withdrew from the fight, the tiger lost its target and turned its attention to Nico instead. Nico panicked when he realized this. It would mean certain death if he and his team faced the tiger with their strength. “Hey, don’t go!” Nico yelled in a panic. He did not expect Lyle and the others to simply vanish in a flash. Most of them were at the end of their ropes and could hardly fight anymore. As the tiger continued attacking them, Nico raised the weapon in his hand in a panic and aimed at its head. Nico felt as if his weapon had hit a hard iron pl
Baldric and the others soon reached the deepest part of the area, and everyone waited expectantly to receive the final reward of the ancient ruins. Chaplin discovered a huge box in front of him when he first arrived, and something in this box seemed to be calling out to him. “No one is allowed to steal the contents of this box from me. Since I’m the first to arrive, the box belongs to me!” Chaplin stood in front of the box and scowled at Baldric, who sneaked into the place with the same method. “Why should it belong to you? We arrived at the same time, so we should share it equally. If you had taken the box before any of us arrived, I would've had nothing to say, but that doesn't seem to be the case now,” Baldric said aggressively. There was no way Baldric would give up the treasure. As the two were about to fight, Nico arrived in a panic and signaled his people to run. However, no one noticed his signal. They were on guard against Baldric, afraid that he would make a mov
