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
Philip gave Yule the item Mason had been longing for. Mason could never forgive Philip, or his people, for that. “What does it have to do with you? If you have time, go and deal with the snakes. Stop wasting my time.” Mason turned around and left, unwilling to speak to Lyle anymore. Seeing Mason ignoring him, Lyle shook his head helplessly and turned to leave. “Since you're choosing to ignore me, forget it. It’s easy for me to deal with the snakes anyway,” Lyle said on purpose to provoke Mason. Mason sneered at Lyle’s arrogance. He knew that Lyle would die soon. “Hehe, since you’re so great, you need to watch out. Who knows how many snakes there are? If the number is too big for you to handle, it’ll be the end of you,” Mason mocked coldly and left. Lyle returned to Philip, smiling with satisfaction. Now that the thing was in his hand, there was no time to lose. “Hehe, it’s done, Philip. That guy thinks too highly of himself, talking down to me like that,” Lyle said mockin
The snakes knew they were stronger than these stupid humans who dared to trespass on their territory. Therefore, the snakes were angry and flicked their tongues out at Philip and the others as if trying to intimidate them. Philip waved at Yule indifferently. “Buddy, the snakes have become a force to be reckoned with. They’re pretty pissed off by our actions.” Philip pointed to a snake that kept flicking its tongue out at him and shrugged helplessly. Anyone could tell that the snake was very powerful and had a bad impression of these humans who appeared out of nowhere. “Everyone, get ready to fight the snakes. We can only enter the safe zone after taking care of them.” Philip ordered his men to fight but was puzzled at the same time. Although East Hill Island did have a large number of beasts, this was over the top. At any rate, Yule’s people were well-trained experts. Although their performance had been lacking, it did not affect their professionalism. Seeing that victo
Mason was at a loss for what to do. Mason’s actions aroused Philip's and Yule’s curiosity. They wondered what was going on with this guy. “What are you doing? Did you lose something? Or is your idea of showing us making us wait for you for no reason?” Mason scowled but quickly recalled that Yule’s things had gone missing too. Mason rushed through the crowd and came to Lyle, questioning him solemnly. “Tell me the truth. Did you steal the things from my bag? Return my things to me at once!” Mason was furious when he realized that someone had stolen his treasures. It would not matter if Lyle stole some insignificant things, but the powder was meant to save his life on East Hill Island. He could not lose it for no reason. Lyle rolled his eyes at Mason’s actions as if he thought Mason was unhinged. “What are you talking about? I thought you were very powerful, but you’re nothing but a loser. “If you’re unwilling to fight on the battlefield, stop goofing around here. Our time i
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
It felt good to have a capable henchman around. Philip could not be bothered to waste his precious time on these losers. Cameron and his men reached the door when a rabbit fell from the sky. The old woman and the others knew the rabbit’s habits and warned everyone to watch out. However, the elites were caught off guard and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on. The next moment, the loudmouthed man was knocked to the ground. Rabbit landed on the guy and started punching and kicking, certain that the man would suffer the utmost pain from this beating. Cameron and the others were dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard of powerful spirit pets but had never seen a rabbit as a spirit pet. The rabbit was good at fighting, so it should not be an ordinary creature. “Go away and stop bothering us. I’ll kill you if I don’t get a good night’s sleep! Let me show you what I can do!” Rabbit swung his fists seemingly at random, but every punch landed. Cameron stood far aw
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
