The relationship between Nero and Neon was much stronger against unknown enemies. Abell felt a little transfixed by the two men who resembled him. “What a loony,” Aslan grumbled under his breath. That guy seemed fierce, but something was not right with his head. “We’re looking for someone in this valley. Maybe you’re the person we’re looking for or a descendant of the person we’re looking for,” Philip said with a smile, revealing their purpose. Aslan felt something was wrong, and the hunters discussed it among themselves. “I think this guy looks a bit like our employer!” “Yeah, I would've thought they were brothers if I didn’t know better!” The hunters felt that this stranger seemed familiar. Neon scowled. He felt the same. The two brothers looked at each other and saw doubts in each other’s eyes. “Who is this guy? Why does he look so similar to us?” Neon asked unhappily. No one present could answer this question, and even Philip looked at them curiously. Phil
While everyone was bickering, Abell released the bugs he had carefully raised. He had the best grades and had raised many bugs in private. Killing the people in front of him with his bugs was a piece of cake. Moreover, these people would die in pain and torture under his bugs, which was most satisfying! Abell could not wait to see these troublemakers kneeling and begging for mercy. Philip acutely sensed his movements and signaled to Aslan, who instantly understood. On the way here, Philip had told Aslan some characteristics of these secret techniques. One of the biggest features was making use of bugs to penetrate someone’s body by force and torture them from within. These bugs could even drain someone of all their blood. More importantly, the bugs were very small, almost unnoticeable, so many people would fall for it without knowing it. Aslan found one of the small bugs. As a monster beast, he was a natural deterrent to bugs and the like. Under his control, these bug
Therefore, this was nothing to Aslan. It was simply an appetizer. “I’m going to kill this ugly bug. Does anyone have any objection? Ugly bugs are mostly poisonous. They may cause serious side effects if we don’t get rid of them in time!” Aslan said and was about to crush the bug to death. Abell almost lost his composure at Aslan’s actions. “All lives are precious. That bug must have a purpose for appearing here. Why don’t you let it go?” Abell was very worried that Aslan would kill the bug, which would cause serious damage to him. His mother was in the same situation. Someone must have killed the bugs she planted, so she ended up in this miserable state. He would be doomed if Aslan killed the bugs he carefully raised. Abell released ten bugs just now. He would feel tired for a while if Aslan killed one. Everything would be over if Aslan killed all ten of them. He would be half-dead and take a long time to recover. Aslan was aware of Abell’s concerns, so he deliberat
Neon and Nero looked at each other, already realizing by now that Philip must have taken action to protect them as they were clueless. “You’re simply ridiculous. You were the one who used some dirty tricks to sneak attack on us first!” Aslan said angrily, shocked that the other party accused them first. “Weren't you trying to torture us with these bugs?” Philip said with a smile, not angry at all. Neon and Nero quickly understood the situation with that remark. The man wanted to use bugs to attack them, so it looked like he was from that village. Their father had been suffering under that vicious attack over the years. They trembled in fear as they recalled their father's pain. They would be doomed if the bugs attacked them. They only hoped Philip could save them. Otherwise, they would have to live in pain for the rest of their life. They scowled at Abell angrily, wishing they could kill him. Abell was the most furious. He realized the disparity in strength between them
“Keep this thing with you, and don’t let your guard down. Remember not to let it leave you at all,” Philip instructed Neon and Nero, afraid they would be careless and overlook many details. Aslan did not require his help. Aslan was very resistant to poisons and would not be affected even if all the bugs crawled over him. Aslan was smart enough to catch the bugs and keep them in a small bottle that he carried with him. He could make use of these bugs to threaten the other party later. These bugs were still alive and posed a big threat to Abell. Abell had no idea that Philip had noticed something as he led them into the village. The path he chose was full of traps. Anyone who walked on this path would trigger the traps and be attacked by bugs. Abell’s friends had left to tip off the news. They had to be careful after experiencing this incident. The elders in the village were resting. They knew that Julie was going to die soon. Although they felt sorry, it was beyond their c
“What were the elders talking about? I didn’t understand a word.” “Yeah, I don’t know either. It sounded like a riddle. What did Aunt Julie do back then?” “Could it be related to Aunt Julie’s stories back then? It seems we finally have a chance to solve the mystery. Come on, let’s go take a look!” No one, men or women, could resist gossip. They ran over curiously to watch the excitement. They knew that the outsiders were quite strong, so they simply wanted to watch the excitement without getting involved. They easily took care of Abell, the strongest among them, not to mention these guys with poor grades. Releasing bugs to sneak attack them was no different than seeking death. “Hello, everyone. Welcome to our village. What brings you here?” The first elder greeted Philip and the others. He trembled when he saw the familiar faces of Neon and Nero. They looked very similar to Abell, especially with Abell standing next to them. It further confirmed the identity of these
“What’s the hurry? I’m surprised to hear that you’re Julie’s son. It seems that we found the right person.” Aslan stopped Abell in time. If Abell had no other identity, Aslan would not care if he left. Now that Abell had revealed that he was Julie's son, Aslan had to stop him. “Get out of my way!” Abell shouted angrily, but Aslan caught him. No matter how hard Abell struggled, it was useless. “Don't forget that your bugs are in my hands. If you leave, I’ll crush your bugs to death. How will you save your mother if you can’t even protect yourself?” Seeing Abell’s obstinance, Aslan took out a small bottle. Abell scowled at the sight of the bottle. He wondered why his bugs had disappeared. He wanted to go back and search for them, but Aslan had captured them. “Okay, you win. I’m no match for you, okay?” Abell returned to the first elder’s side and glared at Aslan, hating these outsiders to the core now. If possible, he wished he could blow himself up and die with them.
No matter what, Julie would not allow that woman to leave offspring for the man she loved. That woman’s kids not only appeared in front of her but also provoked her! Julie saw their mother’s features on the faces of these two people! This was undoubtedly a provocation! “You two wretches!” Julie cursed and spat a mouthful of blood. “You were lucky enough to find someone to remove the secret technique from your bodies, but do you think that’s the end of it? Coming to this village spells the end for you!” Julie laughed as if she had lost her mind. Philip felt helpless at the sight of this crazy woman. He knew that many people went crazy over love, but this was over the top. “That’s enough. Stop laughing your head off. We’re here to find fault with you, not to see you laugh!” Aslan said in annoyance. This woman’s laughter was very unpleasant. Abell stood aside with his teeth gritted and fists clenched. He wished he could kill everyone on the scene. Others gathered around cu
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
Surprisingly, things turned out this way. However, Marina believed that Philip would not do things to the extreme. There had to be a reason for his actions. “Philip, you promised us first. Are you going to go back on your word and work with the fish creatures instead? They're up to no good. You’ll regret it if you work with them!” Tom was nervous, afraid that he had messed things up. It would be over if Philip decided not to help them anymore. He could already imagine how angry Moray would be. “I only promised to take care of the fish creatures. Now that they've surrendered to me, it’s the same as fulfilling my promise. Do you think otherwise? Now that it’s done, I have no obligation to help you any longer. That’s all I have to say.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the nervous Marina. He thought it was a pity. Marina was a nice person, but she was too young and innocent, full of unnecessary fantasies in her mind. Maybe things would not have turned out this way if she had
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
