“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
The other white rabbits fawned over the gray rabbit, which proved its extraordinary status. “So, what do you want? This portal?” With a wave of his hand, an exquisite portal appeared in Philip’s hand. The gray rabbit was expectant, but its expression quickly changed. “I’m not after it. I just think we can consider working together. I can tell you all the secrets behind this portal.” The gray rabbit was smart enough to display its bargaining chips to negotiate with Philip. Philip nodded. He did not mind working with the rabbit. He planned to get more benefits from the rabbit too. “Go ahead and tell us the truth,” Philip said with a smile. He kept the portal in his space. He did not want to cause a commotion in the outside world with this thing. The gray rabbit glanced at Philip reluctantly. “There’s a place called the Precept Continent. Of course, this is just a name in our records. There may be other names. “This portal leads to that continent. The people in thi
The person who spoke was none other than Manta. He took a detour and finally arrived. He met several members who shared the same idea along the way. Although they were not very close before this, it was good to find some cannon fodder in a place like this. Manta simply wanted to make good use of them. Someone should take the lead to explore the way in such a dangerous place. “Uninvited guests should leave at once! You aren't allowed to enter this place!” the gray rabbit said vehemently, but due to its cute appearance, it was no deterrent at all. Maybe these intruders would be wary of a ferocious beast, but the rabbit in front of them was no more than a pet with no danger at all. “Oh, this little rabbit has quite a bad temper. Believe it or not, I can turn you into a roasted rabbit and eat you!” “That’s right, we’ve been hungry for a while. You’re just right to ease our hunger a little.” As everyone teased the rabbit, Manta stood behind without a word. He looked around
“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
Philip had a good impression of Katie. She was passionate about learning and studied very hard. Even Philip felt inferior to her. Since Katie was doing it to seek revenge for her parents, Philip always taught Katie seriously and never kept anything from her. They spoke in a corner privately, and Tom watched with jealousy. Sure enough, Katie had fallen for Philip instead. The way Katie looked at Philip was the same way she looked at Tom back then. It was the worship and admiration for the strong. Tom was depressed at the thought that he had lost Katie in just a few days. Marina keenly noticed Tom's abnormal mood swings. She was curious and wondered what was wrong with him. “Tom, are you okay? Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell? Or were you scared by the sneak attack just now?” Marina was concerned about her personal guard’s unpleasant look. Unexpectedly, Marina’s concern undermined Tom’s confidence instead. “How could I be scared by those things? Do you really th
Moray used to be a rational person, but things were different now. With Tom adding fuel to the fire and coupled with his daughter’s attitude, Moray lost his temper. He could not tolerate Philip's existence anymore. He felt as if Philip was going to snatch Marina away, which annoyed him. Due to his dignity, however, he simply advised Marina not to be so stupid. “How do you know that Philip is the person you know? With demons running rampant, their methods are unpredictable. They could even disguise themselves as elves. What else can stop them?” Tom could not bear it any longer and spoke up. He did not expect that Moray was so bad at convincing his daughter. It would be bad if Marina convinced Moray instead. “What do you mean? Are you saying that Philip has been possessed by a demon? Or is this Philip not the person we know?” Marina’s expression changed slightly. Tom had a certain say in this matter because they returned from Philip’s world together and received help from P
Moray scowled. He did not expect Philip to be right. It was dangerous ahead. He felt embarrassed by his earlier outburst. “Hehe, even if it’s dangerous, that’s no reason to stop. We should…” Marina was angry at her father’s shameful behavior. She wanted Philip to meet her father and have a good chat, but so many things happened instead. “That’s enough. Stop talking. It’s your mistake this time. They told you about the danger ahead, but you insisted on going there anyway. You’re causing trouble on purpose!” Marina was very angry and went to Philip’s side as if she was going to take his side. Tom looked at this scene with jealousy and resentment. Marina trusted Philip more because of this incident. He had made things worse. Philip ignored their internal conflict. He simply found them annoying. He would not object if they wanted to stop the cooperation. “Philip, I heard that the fish creatures have a treasure that allows them to survive in this harsh environment. Maybe we ca
Loony looked at the merfolk with disdain. Before this, he always thought that the merfolk were smart and beautiful creatures, but reality proved that they were stupid. “Sure enough, only birds of a feather can flock together. Only humans can work together,” Loony said in dissatisfaction. He had always been known as a lunatic, so he did not have to watch his words. Aslan stepped forward on behalf of the monster beasts. “You can't say that. You can criticize the merfolk, but don’t get us involved. We’re loyal to Philip.” Moray was angry at their rebuke and wanted to teach Philip a lesson. “You need to decide quickly. We’re about to arrive. Do you want to give up now? That doesn’t make sense. If you’re a man, you need to take action. Don't let me look down on you.” Moray’s tone was condescending, putting on an air of superiority. “Indeed, I don’t dare to take the risk. Why don’t you take the lead?” Philip said with a smile. He did not take the bait because he did not care ab
Aslan wiped the mud off his body in annoyance. The mud was very sticky, and no one could avoid it. Aslan was disgusted and cursed the fish creatures to hell and back. “Philip, I feel something is wrong ahead. Is it an ambush?” Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously. He felt something was not right. Philip was surprised by Black Rabbit’s keen senses and wondered what was going on. “Just speak your mind. There’s no need to hold back. We’re on the same side,” Philip said. Black Rabbit nodded and pointed up ahead. “I feel that there’s something wrong with that place. I think someone has set up a barrier to trap us.” Although Black Rabbit had no special ability, he had very keen senses. If he sensed something wrong, they should check it out. Rabbit joined the discussion. Although he hated Black Rabbit, he had to admit that he was capable. “Black Rabbit has a great perception of danger that's much stronger than that of ordinary practitioners.” Everyone stopped and pondered
