“I finally realized why we couldn’t breathe normally in that strange sea area. It’s because our strength isn’t there yet, not because there’s a problem with it!” Lyle shared with everyone his discovery via voice transmission. Everyone ignored his jokes. They looked around curiously, trying to see what was going on. They stopped when they came across some mermaids in a miserable state. The mermaids were seriously injured with their scales ripped off. Tom rushed over in a panic, wondering what was going on. “Lady Marina is back. She escaped the merfolk's pursuit and came back!” someone shouted excitedly after seeing Marina. An elderly man rushed out from a corner. “Tom, take Lady Marina and leave. This place isn’t safe anymore. Many of our people have left. The merfolk will come back again if we don’t leave now. We can't fight them!” The old man was obviously seriously injured. After speaking so anxiously, he coughed blood and looked very miserable. Marina shed tears
Katie stood aside in disbelief, appalled by the disgusting merfolk. “Tom, don’t be sad. We’ll take revenge someday. The merfolk killed my family too. I won’t let them off either!” Katie clenched her fists angrily. Under normal circumstances, Marina would retort at this point. After all, Katie was just a normal human with an ordinary status. There was no way she could go against the ferocious merfolk. Even their noble and powerful bloodline might be no match for the disgusting merfolk, not to mention Katie. However, she was not in the mood to say anything now. It was useless to scorn Katie. It would not bring her family back. “As expected, every creature in this world is as insignificant as ants. Only strength is everlasting.” Philip shook his head helplessly, not expecting to see this scene as soon as he arrived. Marina was puzzled by Philip’s enigmatic words, but she simply buried her dead comrades without a word. Many of them had been seriously injured and could n
“Uncle, have you gone bonkers from the fight with the merfolk? I’ve taken such pills in their world before. It doesn’t affect us. I know you want to make me happy, but you don’t have to do this!” Seeing Marina’s disbelief, the old man jumped out and displayed his strength. Due to their past acquaintance, they knew each other’s strengths quite well. After feeling the old man's increasing strength, Marina looked in amazement at Philip who gave him the pill. “Your pill is different from the ones I’ve seen before. What's going on? Do you have a miracle pill that can turn the tables around?” Marina had no intention of doubting Philip, but the effect of Philip's pill was so good that she could not believe it. Aslan smiled calmly at Marina’s ignorance. “What do you know? Don’t compare the pills made by ordinary people to Philip’s pills. You’re simply ridiculous. Do you know how many people would kill for Philip’s pills? You really don’t know how to appreciate a good thing when i
“Can you tell me what’s going on now? The merfolk isn’t your enemy only. My little apprentice has a grudge against them too.” Philip patted Katie’s head expectantly. There must be a cause for this. Philip could not wait to find out more. Hearing that, Marina finally let down her guard and stopped behaving like a pampered princess. “To tell you the truth, the merfolk is an extension of the mermaid clan. Back then, our people gave birth to offspring with other races, but the offspring was ugly because they combined the shortcomings of the two families.” Hearing that, Philip finally knew what was going on and felt sorry for the merfolk. The fusion of two races would usually produce powerful offspring that could overturn the world at any minute. However, this union produced the opposite effect instead, resulting in ugly offspring. “Who did you hook up with to produce those weird things? I'm quite curious. After all, I fought those merfolk before, and that ugly appearance re
“I think we should go out and find out more about this world. I can’t avenge my family at my current level. It's better to improve myself and make preparations for it.” Philip almost applauded Katie’s suggestion. He did not expect that she was a girl with such substance. Katie knew that she was very weak so she decided to prepare for it instead of looking for trouble now. “In that case, let's take a look around. It’s not too late to go after them once we find out more. We’ll definitely take care of them. You don't have to worry about this. We have a common enemy. I’m just afraid you couldn’t wait,” Philip said with a smile. Philip exchanged contact information with Marina and agreed they would not take revenge for the time being. Marina had things to deal with, so they went their separate ways. “You’ll find a large city if you head in this direction. The city is quite prosperous and filled with different races. By the way, it's best to disguise your appearance.” Marina poin
“Let’s put that aside for now and talk about it after our situation recovers. The world of the gods is not big. I believe Philip can understand the situation soon. He may be disappointed by then,” Marina said seriously after sorting out her emotions. Now that her family was not around, Marina had to take charge. The others nodded without a word. They knew that they had to avenge this. Maybe everyone would have been killed or injured if Philip had not been there. Philip was hurrying along the way with his people and could not care less about the mermaids’ thoughts. With Marina's reminder, they knew that they had to abandon their human identity for now. In that case, they could pretend to be monster beasts because they already had some in the team. “Okay, you can show off your ears or tails from now on, the weirder the better. The world of the gods isn’t short of monsters anyway,” Philip said. Everyone sprang into action with great relish. It was quite fun. As they hurrie
“This auction seems quite upscale to have the local authorities maintain order.” Philip marveled as he led everyone into the city, which was very crowded with people moving in one direction. Everyone was clearly here to attend the auction so Philip followed the crowd into a huge palace. “Wow, this place is so extravagant. I feel like a villager who has never seen the world,” Aslan marveled at this luxurious place. Since they did not have an invitation letter or proof of assets, they were assigned the lowest tier. There was nothing but some stools at the lowest venue, which looked empty and frigid. “This is too much. People who have no right to enter the venue are not even worthy of a cup of tea,” Philip sighed with emotion. Philip smiled brightly as he observed the surroundings. Sure enough, they saw no humans. The other guests looked weird but not ugly, definitely not as disgusting as the merfolk. “I can tell at a glance that you come from a remote village. You don't
Seeing the other party’s appearance, Philip asked in mock surprise, “Why does this person look like a human? I thought there were no humans now. Why is he here?” Before Philip finished speaking, the man smothered his mouth as if Philip just mentioned some taboo. “Watch your words. That guy isn’t someone to be trifled with. “Back then, the humans left many descendants in the world of the gods, and this man is just one of them. Maybe you have heard of those ugly merfolk, but some lucky ones inherited the good genes between races. “Only those who have inherited good genes can wander around so openly. Ugly things like the merfolk have no right to appear in our world.” After chatting with the other party, Philip finally understood the situation. The people in this world were obsessed with appearance! No wonder he did not see any traces of the merfolk along the way. They had been exiled because they were too ugly. The genes that failed to produce a good match had no right to en
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
Tom felt conflicted. If Philip was interested in the pearl, maybe he could help Philip in exchange for the method that helped Katie become stronger. Tom yearned for strength. He had the opportunity to become Marina's personal guard because of his strength. However, he was not the strongest. All the strongest beings had been sent to the battlefield to fight for the family. He wanted to become so strong that he could easily overcome all problems. Everyone in the family would beg for his help if he became the strongest person. They would seek his help to get rid of the fish creatures instead of relying on an outsider to solve the crisis for them. As Marina's personal bodyguard, Tom had had a crush on Marina for a long time now. How could any man resist such a beautiful woman? Marina had always been a pure-hearted woman who never admired any man, but she fell in love with Philip at first sight. Tom was upset about it but could do nothing at the thought of his identity. Therefor
Katie was not a talkative person, so everyone who knew her did not expect her to exude much presence. Tom smiled and approached Katie to talk to her. “Hey, it’s been a while. Did you miss me?” Tom said excitedly. He felt emotional at the thought of Katie saving him. The chief looked at Tom unhappily, surprised that he was involved with a human woman. It was such a mess that he wondered what was going on. Katie lowered her head and responded shyly. Tom noticed that Katie had become very powerful. She was no longer an ordinary human. From Katie's walking posture and various indications, Katie was a powerful practitioner. She was even better than him. Moreover, she had a divine body. Tom looked expectant. Although Tom had a divine body too, he could not improve so quickly with his talent and strength. Philip must have groomed Katie with care for her to improve so quickly. Katie’s talent was obvious at a glance. She was not that good, but she was already on par with h
Rodney was about to have a mental breakdown. Elf water was so valuable that everyone would use it sparingly for fear of accidentally wasting it, but these people used it as bath water. “It’s none of your business, but we do have some leftover bath water over there. Although its effect has diminished, we can use it to water the flowers to make them grow well.” Elf water would lose most of its effects after bathing in it, but the powerful energy still existed, so using it to water flowers was a good choice. Normal people would never think of using it to water flowers. Rodney was almost going crazy. Although Akash felt that it was a waste too, Philip had bought the elf water at a high price, so he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with it. “This is ridiculous. We’re talking about precious elf water. How could you waste it like this?” Rodney was shaking in anger. He wished he could kill Philip and show this wasteful person how powerful he was. “Tell your elves not to c
“Do you think no one heard when you threatened me just now? Humans are not as stupid as demons.” Loony flicked Rodney’s forehead, causing Rodney to grimace in pain. “Why did you sneak in to be around me? I don’t think I have anything that attracts demons,” Philip said curiously. Indeed, he wondered what brought the demons here. Hearing that, Rodney struggled hard, but Philip easily controlled him. Philip only tied his hands, but Rodney had already lost all ability to fight. His energy core had been sealed. No matter how hard he tried to break free and attack Philip, he failed to do it. “Don't try to break the barrier I put on you or you’ll self-combust and die.” Philip was amused by Rodney’s futile attempts to break free. “You!” Rodney knew that he was in trouble this time. He never thought that Philip would be so strong. He had been very confident that he could sneak his people into Philip’s team if Akash did not return in time and Philip would end up under his control.
Philip and the others knew what was going on, but they pretended to be surprised. The merfolk were really confused and wondered what was going on. Everyone looked at Akash standing at the door and then at 'Akash' standing not far away, baffled. “What’s going on? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” “I see two Akash in front of me. What does it mean? Is one Akash fake?” They caught a strong scent of demons on the real Akash. It was planned in advance. Rodney deliberately left a strong scent of demons on the real Akash so that no one could tell what was going on. Everyone was doubtful and subconsciously thought that the Akash at the door was fake. Marina ran to Philip's side in confusion. “Philip, what’s going on? Is there a real and fake Akash? This is weird.” Marina did not know Akash, but she knew Philip brought Akash along, so Philip should know what was going on. “You two should know who is real and who is fake,” Philip said with a smile without answering Marina's
