Lyle smiled brightly as he hyped up the atmosphere. He knew exactly what to do. With Lyle’s star-studded effect, everyone crowded around, wondering what was going on. Lyle quickly took out the beast meat he prepared and started cooking. He smiled calmly, wishing he could show off his cooking skills immediately. “I’m a professional chef, you know!” After saying that, Lyle proudly started cooking the beast meat in front of everyone, which was an easy task with his skills. People quickly noticed the beast meat in Lyle's hand and widened their eyes in horror, not daring to imagine the situation. “Is that the meat of a legendary snake monster in your hand? Are you powerful enough to take care of those arrogant snake monsters?” “No way, don’t you know the strength of those snake monsters? How could a guy on the rookie list handle them?” Everyone whispered, very interested in the meat in Lyle's hand. “I didn't catch these snake monsters. My teacher, Philip, killed them. With h
“Hey, buddy, don't leave in such a hurry. Everyone knows that it’s difficult to find such beasts. Where did you find these powerful snake monsters?” They could only find some ordinary beasts in the forest, so they found it difficult to believe that Lyle could provide these infamous snake monsters. “What’s wrong? Is this beast meat valuable? Why don’t you tell me more about it?” Lyle was about to leave when these people started chatting with him. He would not miss the opportunity to get some useful information from them. “Don’t you know? These beasts are simply priceless. They always lurk in remote or dangerous places, so we need to pay a certain price to find them.” “That’s why we’re curious to find out where you found these snake women. It should be very difficult to spot one.” Lyle was surprised to hear that. “Are you saying that although you’ve heard of these snake women, you’ve never seen one because they’re difficult to spot?” Lyle grinned brightly. So, these snake
After Mason was done with everything, a charming figure appeared in the yard. “Have you done everything according to my instructions? Don't let anyone find out about this. You must keep it a secret!” If Philip were here, he would recognize this woman as Sienna, who escaped from his hands. Sienna looked very miserable as if she was seriously injured, constantly gasping for breath. “Don't worry, I’ve arranged everything. There won’t be any problems. As long as you watch your steps, Philip will never discover our tracks.” Although Mason hated this woman, they were partners, after all. He could not leave her in the lurch. “Hehe, you’d better watch your tone with me. I can give you powerful strength and destroy you as easily. Do you understand?” Sienna was very angry with Mason’s arrogant attitude and wanted to teach him a lesson. Monster beasts had always kept a distance from humans. Talking to Mason in peace was already testing her limit. “I understand, of course. I have to
Sienna returned to her room with satisfaction. Although she had suffered a defeat, she could devour so many people in return, which was beyond her expectations. At this time, Mason heard that someone was selling snake meat, and his interest was piqued. A normal practitioner would become stronger after eating such snake meat, and he was no exception. Mason quickly bought some snake meat from someone at a high price and ate it without Sienna’s knowledge. Sure enough, the energy in the meat was better than expected. His practice level increased by leaps and bounds, simply beyond his expectations.… Meanwhile, Yule returned to Deadly Arena, full of anticipation about what would happen next. He knew that the people of Deadly Arena would never let Philip go for no reason. Now that he had decided to work with Philip and the relationship between them was quite good, he was unwilling to mess with Philip for those losers. When Yule returned to Deadly Arena, everyone approached him e
Although the man seemed unfamiliar, he was a frequent visitor here. “I’m surprised to see you in person. What brings you here?” The people in charge of Deadly Arena were very excited to see Mason. Mason smiled and said, “I’ve been researching some powerful things recently, so I want to discuss it with you. I have a deal and want to see if you’re willing to take it.” Mason looked at them expectantly. Hearing this, everyone quickly invited Mason inside to discuss it. Mason was a powerful weaponsmith who no one could afford to mess with. No matter what, they had to treat him with the utmost courtesy. “I wonder if you’ve heard about the King’s Ruins…” …While Mason executed his plan, Philip returned home to rest. With a spy like Yule around, Philip easily discovered some secrets about Deadly Arena. Yule soon arrived and told Philip everything he heard recently. “An uninvited guest arrived in Deadly Arena. Do you know who it is?” Although Yule had left, he had many mean
Ordinary people would think the Binary Herb was a treasure but would not know how to use it. Philip, on the other hand, could develop his second energy core with the Binary Herb combined with some precious herbs in Verge Tower to bring his strength to greater heights. He was only missing the Binary Herb among all the ingredients in Verge Tower. If Philip could get hold of the Binary Herb, his trip to the Deadly Arena this time would be worthwhile. Whether he could figure out the secret of the palace or not, developing a second energy core was more than good enough. Philip did not tell anyone about this. His idea was simple. No one knew if the Binary Herb was genuine, and he had no idea how many herbs he could find. If the number was large, he could share some with his people. If not, he could only enjoy the happiness of having a second energy core by himself. Only people proficient in making pills or weapons knew the function of the Binary Herb, so Yule simply mentioned it
Philip was solemn. It would be tricky if that were true. They could not complete the mission if they could not breathe normally in the sea. In that case, they had to think of another solution. “Don’t worry about it. Find out if Mason has a solution. I’ll find a way to solve this problem.” After that, Philip returned to his room to study the books in Verge Tower. Although Philip was very strong and had a photographic memory of the books in Verge Tower, he had never seen something that allowed someone to breathe normally underwater. After all, normal practitioners did not need such things. Practitioners could freely fly in the sky or burrow underground easily, which proved that there was definitely something strange about that sea area. Philip stayed in the Verge Tower for a long time and finally found a way to solve the problem—the Water-Repelling Orb. No one would use this item for no reason, so Philip did not pay attention to it at first. Unexpectedly, he came across the m
To be on the safe side, Mason could only bring ten people with him. “Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out and won’t let you down. Don’t forget your promise to improve my strength after this,” Mason reminded Sienna expectantly as if he could already see himself getting stronger and crushing Philip. Mason used to be on the advanced list, but due to his talent for making weapons, he focused on this aspect and neglected other areas. Sienna nodded with a smile, and the hint of sarcasm in her eyes quickly vanished. “Don’t worry, if you can find the Binary Herb to improve my strength, I won’t forget you.” Sienna's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning as if she was planning something. Mason took up weaponsmithing later in his life, so he was not very knowledgeable in many areas. He did not know anything about the legendary Binary Herb. Other professional alchemists or weaponsmiths would definitely lament if they knew about this. Sienna chose to work with Mason because of his ignorance
Mason scowled unhappily. However, he did not ask them to continue collecting herbs for him but led them forward. “Forget it. Let’s go on and leave the herbs alone.” Mason was not an alchemist, so he had no idea what the herbs were used for. He simply did not want to miss out on good things. “Listen up, let’s just focus on traveling and get this done.” Mason quickly rushed forward with the team. With his strength, it should be easy to catch up with Philip. However, he was sorely mistaken. Philip was calmly collecting everything he could find in his path. After all, it was too easy for him to reach his destination with his strength. Philip and his men went through a narrow road and arrived at a vast area. Philip saw a field of strange plants in front of him. “Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see towering mountains here.” “You’re not mistaken. I see various birds, fish, and bugs in front. Wow, are we really underwater?” “I seriously doubt what I’m seeing right now. So
Philip held the map drawn by Rabbit and walked ahead without a care in the world. Since rabbits were creatures with keen senses, the route they took was relatively safe and bypassed all the danger zones. Mason was not so lucky. He had taken another more dangerous route. Something felt wrong about this route. “I feel that we’re going around in circles." “Yeah, are you sure this is the right way?” The people of Deadly Arena were puzzled, wondering what was going on. This path was not only full of danger, but they also seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Mason looked at the map in his hand carefully. He did not find anything wrong with it. “This is definitely the correct route drawn on my map. We just need to follow the directions shown on the map to reach the King's Ruins. We can’t miss the treasures there.” As Mason walked, he recalled Philip collecting herbs along the way. Maybe he could do the same. He said expectantly, “Pay attention to the plants you see
Mason soon led his people away from Philip's location. Philip was still collecting the herbs and was not anxious at all. “Philip, are you sure we don’t need to hurry up? I have a feeling that Mason is up to something or he wouldn't be so confident. He was the first person to mention the King’s Ruins, so I’m sure he knows something. Maybe he even has a map of this place.” Yule was very nervous when he thought about the stakes. If they lost, would they really have to run around the city naked? That would be too embarrassing. He could never face anyone again if he did that. “Don’t worry, someone is already exploring the area and will map out the place soon.” Philip calmly ordered everyone to collect the herbs, and no one seemed anxious at all. Yule could only bite the bullet and bear with it. Since Philip was so calm, it would be embarrassing to act like an ignorant greenhorn.Very soon, Rabbit hopped in front of Philip. “Philip, I found everything you wanted to know. Don't
Mason did not think the herbs looked valuable. He would have treated them as weeds and ignored them. Of course, his attention was not on the weeds but on Philip. “Damn it, you’re so persistent. I’m surprised to see you here.” Mason scowled. Mason subconsciously wanted to run away at the sight of Philip. The fear Philip caused him was too strong. Philip sneered at Mason and said, “I’m surprised to see you alive. I thought you were dead.” Indeed, Philip was surprised. Nothing happened to Mason on that terrifying snake island, and he returned in victory instead. He was too lucky for words. “Bad luck will only change for the better. It’s time to teach you a lesson now. Are you ready?” Mason said vehemently, hating Philip to the core. Yule watched on the sidelines, while Mason’s party sneered without a word. With various conflicts within Deadly Arena, Yule knew he could not control these people. “Since you’re so confident, let’s have a competition.” Philip did not intend to
“Mr. Yule is having the time of his life now. I heard that he has gained immense power. In short, we can't afford to offend him. I think we should think twice about this.” Although Mason was in charge of them for the time being, they were somewhat indignant about it. This guy had no ability but wanted to control them. What a joke. However, they wanted to find the Binary Herb for their goddess. On the other hand, it was difficult for them to fight head-on against Yule. “You losers don’t even have an ounce of courage. What’s the big deal with Yule? Once our mission succeeds, I guarantee that Yule can only kneel in front of you and beg for mercy.” Mason promised them many things. He knew that they simply wanted more benefits, not that they were too afraid. “After this is over, I’ll make a powerful weapon for each of you, something worth your while. Don’t worry about it.” Mason managed to convince them with empty promises. Everyone smiled brightly and knew that the plan went we
There was a large platform ahead of them that gave them a sense of comfort. “Philip, are you mistaken? I don’t see anything wrong around us, and I think I can already breathe on my own after arriving on this big platform,” Lyle said in surprise, excited by this finding. “Since we can breathe in this place, our preparations are useless,” Lyle added in puzzlement. Philip shook his head and said, “This place is very strange. We should be careful. We may get into trouble if we drop our guard.” Everyone approached the platform and basked in that comfortable feeling. “Sure enough, it feels more comfortable than breathing on land. This is amazing.” Everyone squeezed their clothes dry. They had never felt so miserable before. As practitioners, handling such matters had always been easy. Ordinary things such as water could not touch them at all. However, this seabed was very strange and drenched everyone to the skin. “Let’s move along this sea area and maybe we can figure out th
“Mr. Yule!” Although they did not know why Yule was there, they greeted him. “I’m surprised that Deadly Arena sent you to work for this guy. Don’t you know what a loser he is? You’d better watch out and don’t mess with my guys or I won’t let you off.” After saying that, Yule jumped into the sea with his men. Mason snorted as Yule vanished from his sight. “In that case, one pill won’t be enough.” He knew that they would definitely fight if they met at the bottom of the sea. Although he did not know how the other party could breathe underwater, he had to be cautious. “I’ll give all of you another pill each. Keep it safe. We have to find the Binary Herb at all costs!” Mason distributed the pills reluctantly. He was heartbroken and felt he had made a huge loss this time. He could exploit these people if there were no enemies to hinder him, but this situation did not allow for it. Mason hated Yule to the core for his disgusting behavior. “Sure enough, there are no good peo
Yule once thought highly of his strength and came to this area when he was a brash young man. “I jumped into the sea without hesitation and soon had difficulty breathing. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and climbed ashore in time or I would've been buried in this seabed by now!” Yule felt a lingering fear. Although he had Philip's Water-Repelling Orb in hand, he was still apprehensive. As a practitioner, it would be too embarrassing to drown in this strange sea. Philip noticed his fear and patted Aslan on the shoulder. “Give them a demonstration to put their minds at ease.” Philip winked at Aslan. Aslan and the others jumped into the sea and entered the depths, coming out again after ten minutes. “It feels pretty good,” Aslan said with a smile, swimming around happily as if he did not feel any pressure at all. “As expected of the Water-Repelling Orb made by Philip, the effect is simply wonderful.” Philip's men jumped into the water and swam around freely. Seeing that,
Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip curiously, wondering what it was. “Is that the legendary Water-Repelling Orb? That’s amazing!” Aslan and the others were very knowledgeable and quickly mentioned the name. Philip nodded and said, “As long as you hold it in your hands, the water won’t pose a threat to you.” Philip knew that half of the problem would be solved once they could breathe normally underwater. Everyone they brought was elite among elites, whether his men or Yule’s men. Things would be different once they could move freely. Philip and his party were so fast that Mason and his party could not catch up, allowing Philip to take the head start. “Philip, did you go through a lot of trouble to get this?” Lyle was surprised. He had heard of the Water-Repelling Orb. It was considered a rare treasure for ordinary people but useless for practitioners. This item would not play any role unless they had to visit a dangerous place such as the King's Ruins. “They're a
