“I just want a spot on the team. I don’t think it’s difficult for you.” The two quickly reached a consensus, and Mason got the spot he wanted.… Meanwhile, Philip gathered his members together and discussed the upcoming plan. At this time, everyone received an important message. Deadly Arena was going to undergo a major restructuring, so it would be closed for the time being. Anyone who wanted to hang around had to stay in Deadly Arena for three days and nights. Some people thought it was not worth it, so they packed up to leave. At worst, they could return after three days. Others chose to hunt in the beast forest for three days. Although they had a lingering fear of the beast stampede, the beasts had calmed down, so they could hang around. They could make a fortune if they could hunt some beasts during this time. Meanwhile, Philip and the gang headed for East Hill. To be precise, East Hill was not a hill but an island. The island was outside the scope of Deadly Arena, an
Yule did not expect that Philip would give him such a good thing. His dissatisfaction was quickly replaced by pleasant surprise. “Oh, this is great. I always thought that we should have an open and honest cooperation. I believe we can work very well together. Don’t worry, I’m serious about working with everyone.” Yule patted his chest with pride. Aslan chuckled inwardly at Yule’s reaction. He knew that the plan was working perfectly. Mason was dumbfounded by this development. He had been eyeing this weapon and even wanted to buy it from Aslan at a high price. However, Aslan was very arrogant and refused to sell it to him, which troubled him. Mason wanted to find an opportunity to get the dagger from Aslan, but Aslan gave the powerful weapon to Yule instead, much to Mason’s dismay. 'It seems that these people are quite good to give me such a precious weapon without hesitation,' Yule finally submitted with this thought. He was excited and decided not to oppose Philip anymore.
“You may have their weapon in hand right now, but have you ever considered the forces behind them?” Seeing Yule’s excitement, Mason sighed at his naivety. Yule was only in his 20s and very inexperienced. Although he had good abilities and strong talents, it did not mean he would not be fooled by others. Two yachts moved ahead at full speed. Philip and his men were on the other yacht, while they were here talking about the dagger. “What do you mean? Is there some terrible force behind them? I refuse to believe it.” Yule did not believe it because he felt that Philip was the true power behind them. As long as he could get along well with Philip, he would be free from worries. “I think Philip is a very good weaponsmith, that’s why he’s so powerful. Maybe Philip is better than you, so you should tone it down a little. At this rate, your position may be affected.” As if he was determined to ride on Philip’s coattail, Yule started changing his attitude. Mason scowled at Yule’s th
Everyone disembarked and moored the yachts aside. Philip had a bad premonition at the sight of the misty East Hill Island. “Does this island have frequent visitors?” Philip asked curiously. This place seemed sparsely populated and did not seem very popular with tourists. Yule shook his head. The visitors to Deadly Arena were there to challenge themselves or make money, not die. East Hill Island was a very dangerous place. Coming unprepared would only lead to death. Smart people would never set foot on East Hill Island for no reason. They would only leave after making enough money in Deadly Arena. “This place is not as simple as you think. It’s lurking with various dangers. East Hill Island has another nickname. It's also called Snake Island because it’s full of dangerous snakes.” Mason rolled his eyes and briefly explained to Philip. His and Yule's knowledge could crush Philip easily. They had lived in Deadly Arena for a long time and were familiar with many related thi
“More importantly, I’m the only one who can use this flute. No one else can use it even if they get it.” Philip was happy to hear that. He did not expect Foxy to play such a role. He thought that Foxy could only control some monster beasts in the beast forest, but she could even control the snakes on East Hill Island. “I can get the normal snakes to avoid us, but I'm afraid I can't control the legendary ten-thousand-year-old snake monster,” Foxy frowned worriedly. Based on Mason’s description, this snake monster should be very powerful. As a fledgling, Foxy could hardly do anything to such an ancient beast. Seeing Foxy and Philip whispering in the corner, Yule grew increasingly nervous. He had a feeling that something was wrong. The moment he landed on East Hill Island, his joy had been overwhelmed by fear. Coupled with Mason's explanation, he recalled how dangerous this place was. With worry on his face, Yule waited for Philip to lead the way. After talking to Foxy, Phil
Snakes usually kept a low profile. As long as humans did not mess with them, they would stay in their territory. To lure the snakes out, Mason spent a fortune to buy this powder just to make life difficult for Philip. “When the time comes, I’ll use the antidote to cure Yule and his men, then wait for Philip’s people to beg me.” He planned to create conflict between them and profit from it. Mason neither belonged to Yule nor Philip’s party, so he had to find a way to gain benefits for himself. Philip noticed his sneaky moves but did not take him seriously. He simply thought that Mason was being stupid. Although the smell of the powder was not strong, Philip could tell what it was at a glance with his strength. “Some snakes will appear very soon. I’ll leave it to you to deal with them,” Philip grinned brightly as he ordered. Philip knew that Mason was no match for them. Soon, they entered the depths of East Hill Island where thick fog obscured everyone’s vision. Their sen
Yule scowled, shocked to hear that he was about to encounter snakes. “Based on my experience, there are many beasts around. Everyone needs to watch out. These are powerful snakes, not ordinary ones.” Seeing everyone’s panic, Foxy fanned the flames. It was quite fun to fool them. Since Foxy’s identity had been exposed, she had nothing to fear, so she told them everything she knew. Hearing her remark, everyone went on high alert. No one wanted to die under a snake’s fangs. When they heard that a large horde of beasts was approaching them, everyone got ready for battle. At this moment, Mason sprinkled some snake repellent on himself so that the snakes would stay away from him. His plan was simple. He would trick these guys into buying his snake repellent at a high price. This powder was very expensive, so he could not afford to buy much. “There! I can see some snake tails next to me!” a man next to Yule shouted as if he found traces of the beasts. “We need to run! The snakes
“I hate dealing with snakes the most. Snakes are insidious and cunning, and they always like to lurk in the dark.” As a member of the beast family, Foxy was appalled by snakes. Therefore, Foxy would not stop these people from killing snakes. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take action. I’ve given you the location. Do you expect me to do the work too?” Hearing that, Philip’s men sprang into action while Yule’s men were still in a daze. They looked around in fear, at a loss for what to do. Seeing their blank expressions, Yule frowned and scolded them. It was embarrassing to bring such stupid men with him. Since Foxy had revealed the snakes’ location, it should be easy to find them. Although their vision was affected, they could still fight. Moreover, they could still see something at a very close distance. Hence, Yule was furious at their slow reaction. “Damn it, why did I bring you losers out? Even a donkey on the street is smarter than you!” Yule felt very embarrass
“They really stink. I think you should ask Aslan to do this next time. I believe he’ll enjoy this,” Rabbit said offhandedly as he led Philip in the trail of the scent. Philip smiled. He had recorded Rabbit’s statement with a projection stone. He could expect a good show once he showed it to Aslan. Rabbit had no idea that Philip had laid a trap for him. He was still hopping and leading the way. They soon arrived at a mysterious sea area that was remote and gloomy. “Did they live in such a dangerous and disgusting place?” Rabbit sighed. Sure enough, ugly creatures liked to live in dark places. Similar to the fish creatures, they used to live in a swamp too, maybe to hide their ugly appearance or something. Now that they looked better, they refused to return to the dark and damp environment again. Philip looked around without a word. He saw a stone sign on the side—deep-sea fish creatures. That should be the name of their name. The scale of them seemed quite big. “Ph
Aslan and the others had been teleported to different locations. Everyone was confused and wondered where they were. Some people appeared among some terrifying monsters and started fighting desperately as soon as they landed. Others landed in the desert where Philip was before. They looked about in puzzlement and wondered what was going on. As Philip’s followers, however, they were smart and quickly adapted to the situation. The sneaky little Rabbit was still by Philip’s side. Rabbit stayed in Philip's pocket and clung tightly to his belt the whole time. No powerful force could throw him away, so he managed to stay with Philip. “That was close. I felt a huge force just now and thought I’d be thrown out!” Rabbit felt that something was wrong when he entered. He quickly clung tightly to Philip so that they did not separate. However, that possibility still lingered in his mind, so he made preparations to deal with such a situation. Philip reached out and patted the sneaky Rabb
“Philip, I’m curious to find out what made you stay there for such a long time.” Aslan approached Philip curiously. According to his understanding of Philip, he must have encountered something good, which was why he did not leave at once. Philip smiled indifferently. “You’ll find out soon enough. It’s related to improving everyone's strength,” Philip said mysteriously. Rabbit hopped and looked at Philip anxiously. As an impatient rabbit, he could not bear seeing Philip whetting their appetites. He wanted to share the story immediately. “Since you’re so eager to tell them, go ahead and satisfy their doubts.” Philip smiled and shook his head at Rabbit’s anxiety. Rabbit was very excited to get Philip’s consent. He told everyone what they encountered there and described it so vividly that everyone felt as if they were there too. Philip realized that Rabbit was quite good at telling stories. “You have no idea how amazing that place is. It's full of ordinary creatures, but t
Philip was puzzled by everyone’s reaction. “Why aren't you leaving?” Everyone looked at each other. Some were embarrassed and stepped forward to please Philip. They took out their treasures and offered them to Philip. They were grateful to Philip for saving them and treating them with reason. Some ungrateful families sneaked out after the passage was opened without giving anything in return. Philip ignored them, but he took note of the people who tried to please him. They were smart and had a bright future. Philip was happy with them. As some people left, others followed suit. The merfolk lingered around Philip, unwilling to leave. After all, their chief was gone. No matter how powerful they were, they would never gain a foothold. Their race would be wiped out once they fell to a certain level, so everyone wanted to join Philip. At least Philip was a powerful person. It would be best if Philip was willing to help them. “Please take us in!” “The merfolk don't have many tre
The blue things gathered in the air and formed a crystal-clear stone. The stone man screamed in misery. He never thought that Philip had a way to extricate his core. His ability was extraordinary. Philip was not someone he could mess with. They were not on the same level at all. The stone man was on the verge of dying after losing his core. There was no way he could confront Philip anymore. Even the black energy around him became much weaker. Some bold people touched the black energy and found that the damage done to them was much smaller. “This is great. It proves that Philip is a force to be reckoned with. He simply took the core from that stone man's body with a wave of his hand and saved us.” “I wonder when we can leave. I swear I won’t believe any rumors so easily from now on. Those people are too much.” Once bitten, twice shy, so everyone was apprehensive. It would be a disaster if something similar happened to them again. Seeing that the stone man was dying and una
No one thought highly of Moray, and they did not even know what level he was at, but they knew he was not that strong or he would not have ended up in this miserable state. The stone man waved his hand calmly, and Moray fell to the ground, gasping heavily with fear in his eyes. Moray thought he could easily take the stone man down with that sneak attack, but he was sorely mistaken. The stone man was much stronger than he imagined. “I hate sneak attacks the most. Since you think so highly of yourself, go to hell.” The stone man engulfed Moray in the black energy, and Moray died before he could do anything. Philip watched the scene indifferently without taking it to heart at all. Moray’s death had nothing to do with him. The merfolk were in disbelief. They watched the scene with conflicted emotions but had to accept reality in the end. After going through so much, they were disappointed in Moray and had long wanted to leave him. Now that he was dead, they could finally choo
The stone man fell silent at Philip’s remark. He felt as if Philip was staring at his stone core and could rip him apart at any second. More importantly, he was different from ordinary practitioners of other races. He would die once he lost his stone core, and he could forget about taking over another person’s body to resurrect again. He simply wanted to become stronger, not look for trouble. “H-How did you know?” His eyes flashed with fear, clearly scared. Many people around heard Philip’s remark. They looked at the stone man thoughtfully. Since Philip was here, the stone man could not do much. In that case, they could find a way to kill the stone man. They could leave once they get the so-called stone core from the stone man. “Philip, do you mean we can leave once we get that stone core?” Lyle asked thoughtfully. He was curious because this was the first time he had heard of the stone core. Philip nodded. That was indeed the case. Suddenly, Moray, the merfolk chief, spr
“How can we leave this place?” Philip looked around but found no exit. The arrogant stone man had to tell them or no one could leave. Hearing that crucial question, everyone pricked up their ears expectantly. They could not wait to find the way out. The stone man sneered at Philip’s reaction. “Do you want to leave? Forget it. Maybe I can destroy the barrier and take you out if my strength improves, but I can’t do it at my current level. “My initial plan was to kill all of you and level up. By that time, all your flesh and blood will be part of me, so me leaving is the same as you leaving.” Philip frowned when he heard about the barrier. He closed his eyes and observed his surroundings. Sure enough, something was blocking his senses. The stone man noticed Philip’s reaction. He smiled smugly as if he had Philip in his grasp. The stone man always felt that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. On top of that, Philip was very smart. He had to know some secrets that he did n
Philip could not read their minds, but he was not interested in their opinions anyway. After all, they were nothing in his eyes. “Philip, you’re finally back. Where did that guy take you? Were you trapped in some secret realm?” When Philip appeared, Aslan approached him and handed some roasted meat to him. Aslan did many things in the last six hours, including grilling several rounds of meat. Philip took the food and glanced at Aslan. “I found a good training ground, and all of you can’t escape from that place. Get ready to be tortured.” He smiled as he took a bite of meat. Only he and Rabbit knew how dangerous that place was. Although it was no big deal for Philip, it would be a nightmare for ordinary practitioners. Aslan patted his chest confidently, not afraid at all. “What matters is your safe return. As for us, we can do anything. That guy threatened to eat us if you didn’t return in six hours!” Aslan told Philip everything that happened while he was away, and some
