At this time, the woman who asked for help earlier approached Aslan. “Hey there, can you share some of your food with me?” Aslan felt disgusted with her feigned daintiness. This woman was far from his monster beast beauties. “What are you doing?” Aslan moved away in disgust. He did not want any physical contact with this woman. “I can do anything as long as you give me a bite!” Maybe she saw a change in Aslan’s attitude, but the woman increased her advances. “If you give me some protection, I’ll be yours!” In fact, she wanted more than a bite. It would be nothing if Philip and the others were eating normal meat, but it was beast meat. Judging from the aroma and the abundant energy in the meat, it had to be premium meat. One could restore a lot of energy with one meal, and that would be a lifesaver in such a dangerous place. More and more people abandoned their dignity to beg for a piece of meat at the expense of their chastity, but unfortunately, none of the thr
As Dustin looked around, a hand reached out and pulled him inside. Before Dustin could react, he was pulled into the barrier. Kemp panicked and rushed forward to rescue his teacher. However, only Dustin knew how to open the barrier. Kemp was helpless and nervous like a cat on a hot tin roof. He could not enter at all. “What the hell is going on?” Kemp was puzzled and looked at the entrance curiously. He felt both excited and worried when Dustin was captured. However, Kemp finally decided to ask for help. He could not afford the consequences if something happened to Dustin. More importantly, he had not learned everything from Dustin yet. He would lose the opportunity if Dustin died inside. Kemp’s cries for help quickly took effect. A team of guards ran over and frantically tried to break the barrier but to no avail. “Hurry up and think of a way to rescue my teacher. You’ll be in trouble if something happens inside!” Kemp ranted furiously, putting all the blame on
Dustin could leave with this stone. The second round of evil spirits would appear in a few minutes. He had no time to lose. Philip smiled at Dustin’s reaction. “Other than this stone, the other way out is to survive five rounds of evil spirits, right?” Philip said with a smile and put the stone into his pocket. He had tested it earlier. They could not leave with this stone at all. The formation had been activated, and the barrier had sealed them in by now. Unless Dustin could destroy the barrier or find the key to the barrier, it was impossible to get out. Aslan and Lyle stood in front of Philip to stop Dustin from grabbing the stone. Of course, they knew Dustin's nasty plan. On top of that, they wanted to avenge Poppy, so they only wanted to give Dustin a good beating. “What are you doing? Let go of Mr. Dustin!” “If you kill him, how can we leave? Can you save us with that worthless stone?” “We have the chance of becoming his apprentice. How could you do this to
Philip nodded. Dace was quite sensible. Although he was rude earlier, he seemed okay now. “That's right. He just wants to use your blood essence to complete a sacrifice. Without weapons to restrain evil energy, no one can escape, and your blood essence will eventually summon a legendary being,” Philip explained. He had a rough understanding of the whole situation now. He received a lot of information when he found the stone, so he knew some of Dustin's plans. Dustin scowled when he heard Philip exposing his secret. He knew someone would discover his secret when the stone went missing. However, he did not expect that this person would make this secret public. “What? Is that so? Are you saying that Dustin wants to kill us?” Dace cursed. He could hardly wait to kill Dustin. Others were ready to take action. Although some of them doubted Philip, it was easy for them to die in this evil place. “Mr. Dustin, we’ll believe you if you let us out!” someone yelled. As long as
These people dared not make a fuss and simply obeyed. Their lives were in Philip's hands, so they had to listen to him. “I can guarantee other people’s safety, but I can’t say the same for you,” Philip said to Dustin with a smile and handed the stone in his hand to Lyle. “Do you want this stone to open the barrier? Let me show you if this stone is useful!” Philip motioned Lyle to go to the entrance. Without hesitation, Lyle went to the barrier with the stone in hand. Everyone eagerly looked at Lyle as he approached the barrier, wondering if they could leave after this. Dustin looked at Lyle silently, trying to find a chance to sneak out. However, he did not get this opportunity. Lyle approached the entrance, but the barrier was motionless. He waved the stone at the entrance of the barrier, but there was no reaction at all. Obviously, using the stone to open the passage was not the correct method. “How is this possible?” Dustin was dumbfounded He never imagined tha
Although Dustin was not that weak, he could not deal with these evil spirits without preparation. “I’ll do it!” “Count me in! Sir, remember your promise!” Some people rushed forward excitedly and quickly surrounded Dustin to protect him. These people were simply unscrupulous, protecting Dustin with weapons given by Philip. Lyle was furious with their actions. “What are you doing? Don't forget, the weapons in your hands belong to us!” Lyle yelled angrily, trying to remind the turncoats. However, they ignored Lyle. “The weapons are in our hands. What can you do?” “We have the right to make our choice. Keep out of it!” These people were very arrogant and refused to return the weapons. Lyle almost passed out in anger. Aslan was furious and wanted to teach them a lesson. He could easily handle some ordinary practitioners. Philip felt disgusted with these despicable people. They fully demonstrated the nature of villains. Philip beckoned to their weapons, which fle
Philip's remark left Dustin speechless. He clenched his fists, at a loss for what to do. “Since you can bring me in, I’m sure you can let me out too. Name your price.” Dustin tried to buy time. He did not want to die here. “Tell me your reason for kidnapping Poppy,” Philip asked without further ado. Dustin was startled. For a moment, he had no idea what the other party was talking about. After a while, he finally recalled who Poppy was. “Oh, are you referring to that little girl? Haha, what’s the relationship between you two?” Dustin was not happy at the mention of Poppy. That girl had given him a lot of trouble. At first, he planned to teach Poppy a good lesson. When the time was ripe, he would display a mutilated girl to that good elder brother of his to show him the consequence of being his apprentice. When he entered the room where Poppy was imprisoned, however, he was attacked unexpectedly. This girl was much stronger than he thought, giving him the impressio
“Let’s go. We’ll leave him for his brother to deal with. What do you think Mr. Lindell will do to this guy if he finds out about it?” Philip said with an insincere smile. It was the best way to torture and annoy Dustin. Sure enough, Dustin panicked upon hearing Philip’s words. He did not expect Philip to know his brother. He thought Philip was simply acquainted with young people like Poppy, but he also knew his brother, and it seemed that their relationship was quite good too. “No, don’t do this. Since you know my brother, you should know I have the same authority as him. Why don’t you work for me instead of him? I can give you the same wealth and status!” Dustin tried to entice Philip as soon as he found some information. Philip felt disdain at his words. “You’re ridiculous. Do you think Philip works for your brother? Your brother is Philip’s apprentice, alright!” Lyle could not help but mock Dustin. Everyone was shocked by that revelation, including Dustin. Most of
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
In Argent’s opinion, Philip was a prideful person and would never accept this proposal. “Of course, you have the right to refuse. I just want to see what you think.” The mysterious man smiled at Philip brightly as if he did not mind Philip’s rejection.Seeing the mysterious man’s attitude, Argent was afraid that his plan would fail. Philip was not a fool. He could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were not on the same side. Everyone had their own agendas. “In that case, I have to refuse. I’m sorry, but I’m used to leading a carefree life. Besides, I have my own force, so I won’t join other teams.” A trace of regret flashed in the other party's eyes. He was surprised to hear that Philip was capable enough to form a team of his own. “I’m surprised that you’re so strong at such a young age. In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you. Maybe we can become friends instead.” The mysterious man quickly made small talk with Philip. He clearly had some idea
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
