“Our heroes, since you guys are so amazing, we shall hand over the lookout mission to you.” This was the team that took first place on the virtual battlefield test. The person who spoke to Philip was none other than their captain. In the sudden battle just now, their team was also one of the few teams with zero casualties. Hearing that, Philip simply nodded. “Switch teams every two hours. Four teams will go together.” The Cougar Squad members seemed receptive to Philip’s orders and did not have any opinions. Leopard followed behind Philip and asked along the way, “Boss, why should we listen to him? He’s not a commander!” Philip simply smiled at Leopard’s remark. “No matter what, rotating lookout duties can’t be avoided. Every team is the same and will be on the lookout sooner or later!” At this time, the four guarded one direction of Cougar Squad, but this time, they were not on the trees but under the trees. The four stood in a square with their backs to their team
However, Philip had no way to turn back and look at the other party now! Bang! Bang, bang! Several gunshots scared the man away. Philip looked into the distance and saw Lorna standing not far away. Two women with sniper rifles in their hands stood behind her. “I thought you were powerful, but it seems I was mistaken. You actually allowed someone to sneak up on you and control you. It seems that I overestimated you!” Lorna kept mocking Philip. Philip simply chuckled. He did not explain nor saw the need to explain. Some things were not meant to be explained. Moreover, this matter was of great significance to Philip. However, at this moment, Philip suddenly saw a black figure flying behind Lorna. Bang! Philip immediately picked up his gun and killed the figure with one shot. It was a black humanoid creature. “You saved me once, and I saved you once. We’re even.” After Philip finished speaking, he turned around and left. When he returned to the place where h
Leopard grinned at Philip and said, “They’re over there. I completed my mission. I protected them!” Philip nodded. Looking at the two shivering on the side, Philip said, “Attack!” Hearing Philip's roar, Iris said to Philip, “No way, it won’t work. Our attack can only leave a small wound on its body. We can’t stop it at all!” Emily also said anxiously, “My attack has no effect on it at all!” Philip frowned. This seemed quite interesting. Philip started observing the exotic beast, which looked like a large Tibetan Mastiff. Although it did not make a move, it had been staring at Philip the whole time. Seeing this, Philip walked to the creature with a smile. The creature with black hair all over its body like a Tibetan Mastiff pounced at Philip. Roar! This roar was deafening! Philip snorted coldly, and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Caelum Sword! However, to avoid garnering shock, Caelum Sword only appeared in Philip’s hand briefly before it disappeared in a
That man said grimly, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that we didn’t save you on purpose?” Philip snorted. By doing this, they forced themselves into a corner. If anything else happened after this, Philip would definitely not help the people of Cougar Squad again. At first, Philip thought that they were just unhappy with him, but they would still take action at a critical moment. However, Philip realized now that he had overestimated them. At this time, Cougar arrived. “Philip, what's the matter? What happened?” Philip shook his head and said, “It's no big deal. Everything’s settled.” After saying that, Philip did not even look at Cougar. Although Cougar knew that something was wrong, he did not know what was going on, so he could only pull someone to the side. However, at this moment, Lorna came over with her people. “Commander Yorkshire, I want to know if all your people have assembled. If you’re done, I think it's time for us to head out.” Although
Philip knew that the other party had noticed something amiss, but they were also silent. Just like Philip, they started looking for cover. In fact, Philip had used the communicator to notify Cougar while he was supporting Leopard. His message only contained two words—‘tails behind.’ However, Cougar did not reveal anything. He did not even turn his head around and simply walked ahead. Nonetheless, Philip noticed several people on the edge slowly leaving the larger group. Not long after walking ahead, Philip saw a few people from Cougar Squad walking over with several people in tow. They were the people who left the team. Seeing this scene, Philip instinctively felt that something was wrong because instead of the fear of being caught, these people had faint smiles on their faces. Cougar walked up to those people and asked coldly, “Who are you, and why are you following us?” Lorna walked over at this time too. Her people were not as quick as Philip in detecting danger,
Lorna approached. It seemed that she wanted to make a move just now, but Cougar did not give her the chance. “Members of Cougar Squad, listen up. From now on, we’ll set up camp here and triple the lookout range!” As Cougar gave this order, Lorna followed suit. Cougar waved his hand to Philip and said, “Philip, come here. I want to talk to you.” Philip walked to Cougar. Cougar sighed and said, “I think someone must have premeditated this attack on us today. Our equipment is now useless. I want you to go back and get some people to bring us some gear.” Philip knew that Cougar was feeling resentful at being ambushed. However, Philip did not believe that the other party went to such efforts just to trap them here. “Commander Yorkshire, do you really think the other party will let us go just like this?” Cougar frowned at Philip’s question. “Oh? What do you mean?” Philip said softly, “If I’m not mistaken, the people you sent out just now are engaged in a battle right no
With a whistling sound, the flames rushed toward the giant black humanoid creature. Roar! The giant opened its mouth and swallowed the fireball thrown by Philip. Boom! The body of the black humanoid swelled and burst into flames. It quickly became a huge fireball. Due to the connecting black threads, the flames spread to the rest of the black humanoid creatures too. In an instant, the entire area was drowned in flames. However, Philip’s flames could not stop the giant. It took one step forward and punched Philip! Bang! Philip quickly jumped. However, in the next second, the black silk threads of the black humanoid creatures wrapped around Philip's back like snakes. Philip’s body burst into flames again, and a flame chimera appeared under Philip's feet. “Emily!” Philip shouted. Emily reacted at this time and released a space barrier behind Philip. Philip charged toward the black humanoid giant with the flame chimera. The black threads behind him were all
While thinking, Philip walked forward. At Philip’s command, the other three followed Philip from a distance. However, before he got far, Philip found many traps under his feet, which were laid out by wood and fire elemental practitioners. Lush greenery was wrapped around the violent fire element. If the greenery was triggered, the fire element would be released. With this discovery, Philip dared not move on a whim. Although he could find these traps, the three teammates behind him could not. Once they touched the trap, a chain explosion awaited. Philip took a deep breath and motioned for them to stop. However, at this moment, two people suddenly appeared behind a tree not far away. One was short and the other was tall. When they saw Philip stop, they said to Philip, “Not bad. You actually discovered the traps we set up. It seems that the people of Cougar Squad have made a lot of progress!” Philip frowned. It seemed that they were quite familiar with Cougar Squad a
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
