“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
Thinking of the various upcoming dangers they would face, Mason finally decided to cede to Yule after some deliberation. While Yule took a break from the fight, Mason pulled him aside. “I want to make a deal with you. If you’re willing to protect my safety, I’ll agree to one of your requests.” Yule sneered inwardly at Mason’s humble and flattering attitude. He never thought this guy would give in to save himself. Mason always thought highly of himself, but to survive in a dangerous place like East Hill Island, he was willing to abandon his so-called dignity and ask for help. “Hehe, since you mentioned it, I won’t refuse. Don’t worry, you can stay with my team. We’re comrades, after all!” Yule’s thinking was very simple. Although Mason could not hold a candle to Philip, he was a weaponsmith, after all. Maybe he could play a role at a critical moment. Thinking of this, Yule reached a deal with Mason. He did not want to miss such a good opportunity for no reason. If he a
“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
