This place was very dangerous. It would be difficult if Aslan wanted to play the hero. The woman glanced at Aslan gratefully. “It’d be great if you could take me home. I'm seriously hurt.” She looked up at Aslan expectantly as if waiting for Aslan to take her home. Aslan tilted his head in startled confusion and wondered what she was insinuating. “Are you saying you want me to take you home?” Aslan said curiously, thinking he was mistaken. The woman nodded eagerly, hoping that Aslan would take her away quickly. Aslan had bent down and stretched his hand out when he stopped and stood up again. His face was full of disdain as if he realized something. "You need to sound more convincing if you want to scam others. Why would you go home when you’re out for training?” Aslan seemed to understand something and walked around the woman curiously. “Is this a ferocious beast that has taken on a human form?” Philip could not help but laugh at Aslan’s reaction. He was so blunt
When Philip looked back, he saw that Aslan had reached the edge of the pit and was about to jump down. Philip reached out and smacked Aslan to make him sober up. Aslan returned to his senses and looked at Philip in shock, wondering what just happened. “Philip, how did I get here?” Aslan scratched his head and looked at Philip in confusion. Philip was exasperated. Obviously, Aslan had been bewitched by something. “I finally know what's so scary about this place,” Philip said helplessly as if he had discovered something new. Aslan looked at Philip with lingering fear as he wondered what Philip was about to say. “This place is full of temptations, and you’ll fall for it easily if your mind is weak. What happened to you just now was the best proof. You were nearly fooled by the fox earlier and nearly fell into the pit next. You would've probably jumped down if I hadn't been around to stop you.” Philip peeked into the pit, which was a long way down. Aslan would probably die
“I suspect there’s something down there. It's probably the secret we’ve been looking for. Let’s take a look down there.” Aslan waved his hand at Philip’s suggestion. He was very scared by now. “Philip, didn't you see those people jumping to their deaths just now? How are we going to get down? Should we jump too?” Aslan said like a coward. Philip sighed and said, “You’re such an idiot!” Philip summoned a flying beast. He jumped on the beast's back and flew into the depths of the pit with Aslan. Aslan chuckled awkwardly at Philip’s witty trick. “What a great idea. Why didn’t I think of it?” Aslan scratched his head in embarrassment. Aslan sat on the back of the beast and admired the surrounding scenery. This deep pit was so enormous that they could not see the end of it. It felt like a miracle of nature. “Look, there’s only one outcome for those who jumped down.” Philip pointed at the people who were splattered on the floor. Philip still remembered the arrogance in thei
Manta quickly returned to his senses and patted his chest in fear. He never thought that he would have the urge to jump into a pit one day. “What’s going on? Is there some magical power in this pit?” Manta glanced at the pit nervously and staggered back, unwilling to stay there any longer. Manta glanced at the members who kept jumping down but finally decided not to help after much deliberation. He was not a god and could not save everyone. It would be over if these people dragged him down with them. He would not suffer for anyone’s sake. Manta turned around and ran away without hesitation. He wanted to enter the pit from another place. He saw a road leading into it not far away and decided to give it a try. It was better to go around instead of jumping to his death. After Philip and Aslan entered the pit, they saw a big paradise before them that gave them a comfortable feeling. Aslan followed Philip cautiously, which looked a little dodgy for such a burly guy. “Thi
“Are you here for the Labeau family’s secrets?” the rabbit suddenly spoke, almost freaking Aslan out. Aslan never expected that the rabbit could speak and could hardly accept it for the time being. Philip was not surprised but looked at the rabbit with interest instead. “Oh, you can speak. In that case, why don’t you take us to see the so-called secret of the Labeau family?” Philip said with a smile. This rabbit was quite intelligent and looked very cute. However, Philip did not know how strong the rabbit was or its intentions, so he made some plans too. The little rabbit flicked its ears and signaled Philip to put it down. “I’ll take you for a look, but you have to promise not to hurt me!” The rabbit's red eyes darted around, and Philip nodded in agreement. “Well, it’s a deal. Let’s see if you can catch up with me.” After the little rabbit landed on the ground, it hopped very quickly forward. Philip quickly took Aslan with him. At their level, a little rabbit could
“The so-called secret of the Labeau family you mentioned earlier, is it here?” Philip asked curiously. The rabbit would be dead if it dared to lie to him. “I hope you can answer my question truthfully. After all, I like eating rabbits very much. Barbecued rabbit is a pretty good choice.” Philip took out various seasonings and showed them to the rabbit. Philip would cook the rabbit if it disobeyed him. The little gray rabbit trembled in fright and begged for mercy. That pitiful rabbit could not withstand Philip’s torment at all. “I brought you to the right place. Stop thinking about eating me! This is the so-called secret base of the Labeau family. Do you see the house in front? You can find the secrets of the Labeau family over the years once you enter the house!” With the rabbit’s explanation, Philip understood what was going on. That house was just an illusion as a cover for the entrance in front. No wonder the house looked a bit surreal. It was something similar to a
Some people said it was a door while others called it a portal. Everyone had different opinions about it, but no conclusion was ever made. Philip was very excited upon hearing that. Maybe that was what he was looking for! “However, this family has disappeared for many years, and it became a secret in the end. I can only bring you to this point. I have no authority to enter that place.” Philip simply nodded at the rabbit’s explanation. “Since you've cleared everything up, you may go.” After saying that, Philip walked in the direction of the mirage, followed by Aslan, who had been immersed in the story. As Philip entered that place, the rabbit smiled like a human. “Let’s hope you’re the chosen one mentioned in the legend. You’ll be in luck if you uncover the secret.” The gray rabbit hopped behind Philip, simply staring at him without following. “Philip, don’t you find that rabbit weird?” Aslan whispered. The rabbit seemed to know a lot and seemed to be leading them
Philip shook his head helplessly and continued marching forward, reaching the top very soon. The last few were quite stressful but posed no threat to Philip. Aslan huffed and puffed as he followed Philip and finally reached the top too. “It feels like we’re standing at the top of the world.” Philip glanced around with a smile. He had to admit that the scenery was pretty good. Philip was curious about something dazzling in front. Without hesitation, he walked over and grabbed the shiny thing. He looked at the thing in his hand and realized that it was a portal. The portal glowed with a golden light and looked very attractive. “Philip, is this the thing mentioned by that rabbit?” Aslan could not wait to enter the other world through this portal, but he knew that now was not the time to risk it impulsively. “I think so. I believe the rabbit will find us soon. Don’t tell the rabbit about this for the time being. Let’s fool it,” Philip said with a smile. He wanted to know
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
