The King of Beasts might be aware of this so it sent the giant salamanders to attack Philip and lead him to the path of no return. It never thought that Philip would not be affected at all. These little tricks meant nothing to Philip. Philip crushed the skeleton and found more than a dozen pink crystals. He gave everything to Verge Tower and left happily. He gained a lot, but the giant salamanders never appeared again, probably all wiped out by Philip. Since it was getting late, Philip found a safe spot to camp. He lit a fire and roasted a piece of beast meat. He could not take salamander meat. The creature was ugly and pitch-black, and the meat did not taste very good. As Philip was getting bored, Rabbit jumped out of his pocket. Rabbit had always been with Philip, but it had been sleeping in Philip's pocket without making an appearance. As Philip started grilling meat, Rabbit popped out when it smelled the fragrance. “Hehe, your cooking skills are really good, P
Suddenly, a biting chill washed over him. Philip frowned and immediately went on high alert. “What the hell is trying to mess with me now?” Philip took out his weapon and slashed with all his might in the direction where the attack came from. The next moment, he heard a strange scream. He backed away while evading the unknown dangers. Although he felt that these dangers posed no threat to him, he did not want to be injured for no reason. Philip’s energy circulated in his body and quickly got rid of the biting chill. At this time, Philip saw many toads lurking next to the underground river. These toads were different from the ones he had seen before. They were white and could spurt icy-cold swords from their mouths from time to time! It proved that these creatures attacked him just now. After attacking Philip, they quickly changed positions and hid behind the rocks. They should be quite adept at sneak attacks. Philip could not name many of the creatures in this world and c
Philip killed all the toads around him in disgust. Their ugly appearance affected his mood greatly. “These things are so ugly. I find them annoying when I see them croaking!” Rabbit grumbled. Rabbit glared at the toads and wanted to kick the carcasses too. “As a member of the royal family, I’ve always been upright and overboard. I despise creatures that use underhanded methods!” Philip laughed at Rabbit’s reaction. It was fun to have this guy along the way. Rabbit was always lackadaisical and came up with interesting comments. “Philip, let’s charge ahead boldly. There’s no turning back now that we've taken the first step. We have to go on!” Rabbit said with determination. It had a feeling that they could find something ahead. It would be a huge loss if they returned to Nimbus Mountain now. Philip nodded and continued into the depths of the underground river. With his ability, the water of the underground river could not touch him. He stepped on the water and moved forwa
Besides, if Philip was really as powerful as rumored, this transaction would not be considered a failure. If Philip was really the successor to the heavenly path, Carol could already imagine how wonderful her life would be! Although the Pill Guild’s status was very high, two other major guilds loomed over them. As the holy maiden, her status also depended on the guild. The other two guilds were arrogant and did not like the Pill Guild, which had a poor reputation. Therefore, Carol did not have an easy time outside, and her reputation was slowly affected. Although Carol had not done anything, she knew the Pill Guild was not good either. Everything would be different if her significant other was the heavenly path’s successor. No one would dare to ridicule her or look down on her status again. They had to worship her even if she was a village girl! The Pill Guild was in chaos right now. The arrogant first elder kept saying that he wanted to take a look. Carol wanted to tag alo
Meanwhile, Philip was moving forward without any knowledge of the chaos in the Pill Guild. After Philip was taken away by the suction force, he felt uncomfortable as if something was weighing down on his body. He quickly circulated energy and returned to normal. He did not forget the dumb Rabbit as he did so. It was in bad shape, struggling to breathe. Rabbit was not good at fighting, and its practice level was low. Without Philip's help, it would've suffocated to death. Very soon, Philip was thrown out by a powerful force. When he returned to his senses, he found himself on a huge platform. The platform was located above the underground river with a black coffin placed in the middle of the platform. The coffin looked extraordinary, and Philip could not figure out the material used for it. It was tightly sealed, and the wood was pure black but exuded a faint glow. Philip felt a strange vibe from the coffin as if an evil force was attracting him. “Philip, something is wrong
Unfortunately, Philip was so strong that the coffin could not affect him. The other party had no way to control Philip, let alone absorb his energy to replenish itself. “I think we should leave as soon as possible!” Rabbit suggested cautiously. Rabbit could not help but feel that this scary place was like a large cemetery. It felt as if it would die here. “Something's wrong. Look around you. Don’t you think we're trapped in an enclosed space? The water in the underground river seems stagnant,” Philip reminded Rabbit to look around. Rabbit looked down and found that the underground river was not flowing at all, just like a pool of stagnant water. “Oh no, we’re trapped. What should we do?” Rabbit said in fright. If they had not entered the underground river, they could have easily summoned the crane to take them out. Now that they were trapped in this place, however, no one knew what to expect. At this time, Philip saw a huge beast that seemed to be guarding the coffin.
While the cow was not paying attention, Philip kicked Rabbit and sent it flying a distance away. Rabbit did not expect that Philip would throw it away and screamed before it landed next to the coffin. It shivered when it saw the coffin, which was very spooky. “Philip, you don’t care about my feelings at all! I’m afraid of the dark. Do you think I can look this thing in the eye?” Rabbit trembled as it approached the coffin. Although it complained with all its might, it had to complete the task assigned by Philip. The cow never noticed the rabbit’s presence. It was so small that it was no different than a fly. A talking rabbit could not do any harm. Philip quickly fought the cow. He had to admit that the cow's reaction was faster than he thought. Although the cow was huge, it was very fast. Rabbit tentatively stroked the coffin in puzzlement. At this distance, there was nothing scary about this terrifying coffin. “I thought the coffin could swallow me whole, but it’s so…” R
After taking so much flesh and blood, the coffin was already full of evil and no longer a pure existence. Philip knew that this thing had something to do with him. “What’s inside? Why does it need so much flesh and blood, and what is it used for? Does the coffin use the same technique as me?” Philip was tempted to pry open the coffin. He had no time to waste with the cow and simply killed it with one blow. The cow’s meat seemed pretty good, so he stuffed it into the space without wasting it. He then took out a dart and threw it at the coffin. The dart hit the coffin, but it stood motionless and undamaged. Philip knew how much strength he used. He then took out a whip and swung it at the coffin. He thought that maybe the dart was not strong enough to break the coffin. Hence, he decided to use a more forceful method to break open the coffin. If that failed again, he had to use something like an ax. “The giant salamanders were devoured of their flesh and blood upon contact wit
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
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
