Montel looked at Philip nervously, at a loss for how to express his anxiety. Philip patted Montel on the shoulder and said, “From now on, call me Philip in public.” Philip did not want to expose his identity too soon, so it was better to avoid that address as much as possible. Montel nodded and decided to carry out Philip’s instructions after a brief pause. “Since that’s your plan, I won’t have any objections, but you must be careful,” Montel reminded him. After all, the Marching Red Ants were extremely terrifying, and Montel did not want Noelle to compete with Philip over the Robust Soil. Clementine felt anxious as the two discussed without her. “What are you talking about?” Philip waved his hand and asked Montel to return to his original position. “I’ve made arrangements for you to go to Water Dragon Pond with Montel. I’ll look for you guys later.” Philip asked Montel to give him a map. He turned around and walked to the right. He sensed the ants dragging their pr
Philip easily picked a lot of Anticide Weed. He took some for processing and left the rest in his space for cultivation. Several ants patrolled the surroundings, which was part of their nature. The ants were very united and would do anything to protect the queen. Although it was cumbersome to deal with a large number of Marching Red Ants, a few were just a piece of cake! Philip sprinkled the poison on the ants, and they turned into a puddle of water before they could even react. Philip applauded the poison he prepared. He did not want Noelle to follow him because he did not want to expose this method. After all, Noelle only had a temporary working relationship with him, so there was no need to let her know his trump card. Moreover, she would probably pester him if she knew he got his hands on the Robust Soil. He did not want to get involved with this beautiful woman. Even if Wynn did not mind, Philip would feel annoyed. After dealing with the ants, Philip took a Prowl
Philip slowly appeared in the underground abyss and saw a frail person, who did not expect to see someone else. “A human? After thousands of years, is this secret realm finally open again?” the man wondered aloud, sounding as if he knew the secret realm very well. After Philip walked in, he saw that the other person was not a human but more like a demi-human. If Philip guessed correctly, the other party should be a monster beast. This guy was at least five meters tall with animal ears, which Philip thought seemed like lion ears in the dim light. Philip was shocked by the other party’s appearance. He did not expect to see monster beasts in the secret realm! At first glance, this monster beast seemed to have an extraordinary status. Philip sized the monster beast up skeptically. The other party seemed quite strong, so why was he trapped in this place? The lion monster beast looked at Philip curiously too, not expecting to see a human in the ant nest. “Are the Marching R
Philip was quite envious of the monster beasts. They could live for thousands of years without practicing. It was a far cry from humans, who could only do that with continuous improvement in practice. “Thousands of years ago, I entered the secret realm by accident when it opened, and I couldn’t get out,” the other party explained to Philip awkwardly. “In that case, you could've found a place to hide and wait for the next opening. Why did you get trapped here by some ants? You look like a wreck.” Philip shook his head helplessly. This monster beast looked more like a pathetic chicken in distress instead of a lion monster beast. The other party said furiously, “Do you think I'm a fool who doesn’t know how to hide? At that time, I was lucky enough to have received the secret realm’s heritage. "When the secret realm closed, the natives woke up and went after me for thousands of years. In the end, I was captured and imprisoned in this place! “Back then, I reached the pinnacle of
“Can you really bring me out?” Aslan confirmed nervously, fearing that Philip was kidding. In fact, he was just trying his luck earlier. After all, Philip must have extraordinary abilities to reach here quietly, and maybe this ability could bring him away. Now, he coincidentally made the right bet! “What’s your name?” Aslan said nervously, placing all his hopes on Philip. Philip replied, “My name is Philip Clarke. Stay here for now. I’ll be back for you very soon.” Philip turned around and left. As Philip approached the Marching Red Ants, Aslan was very nervous. He knew that Philip must have some means, but he was shocked by his reckless actions. Surprisingly, the ants continued to patrol around him as if they could not see him at all. Aslan was excited at this scene. Philip was so powerful to deal with the ants so effortlessly. Philip quickly headed into the depths of the ant nest. The further he went, the more ants he saw. However, the ants here were smaller t
Philip performed a gesture with his right hand, and a huge ball of flame burned the tens of thousands of ant eggs. The fire got bigger and bigger, and the worker ants panicked. Philip also took advantage of the chaos and hid at the entrance of the cave where the queen ant was located. He planned to sneak in to get the Robust Soil after the queen left. Suddenly, the whole place started shaking as if the entire cave was about to collapse. Philip could feel something struggling to come out of the cave. Philip was shocked by that discovery. Was the thing that big? Then, Philip heard a clear voice. “Who dares to set fire in my nest? Find that person. I want to kill him to appease my anger!” A swarm of ants rushed into the cave and carried the huge queen out. Philip finally caught a glimpse of her. She was a demi-human, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of an ant. Although she was five meters long, that size could hardly cause the earth to shake. Moreo
When Philip was about to escape, he suddenly thought of Aslan. That guy was still waiting for his rescue! Philip quickly returned to the underground abyss and saw Aslan waiting for him expectantly. Aslan clearly felt the movement in the ant nest. He knew that Philip had done something and wondered if Philip could save him. Surprisingly, Philip appeared amid his worries! Philip sighed helplessly at Aslan’s tearful gaze. This guy had been trapped for thousands of years and must be longing for freedom. He stuffed a Prowling Pill into Aslan's mouth and overturned the shabby cage with one kick. Aslan exerted force and shattered the chains on his hands. In fact, Aslan could easily break the chains and break out of prison, but these Marching Red Ants were very powerful and kept a close eye on him. As soon as they sensed that something was wrong, they would poison him immediately. After so many years of torture, he simply gave up resisting. “Can we leave now?” Aslan was ful
Aslan felt that he had made the right choice. “I dealt with many alchemists back then, but I’ve never heard of such a powerful pill. I guess it must be your secret technique. In that case, you’re no ordinary person!” At this point, he lifted his head with pride and raised his right hand to make an oath with his soul. “I, Aslan Lavi, is a man of my word. From now on, I’ll follow Philip Clarke and become your most faithful servant.” As soon as Aslan finished speaking, Philip felt a connection between his and Aslan's souls. There was an inseparable relationship between the two, and Philip felt as if one thought of his mind could determine Aslan’s life and death. Philip only thought of recruiting Aslan as his comrade, but Aslan took the initiative to make an oath on his soul and form a master-servant agreement. Although Philip was very moved, he did not refuse. After all, they just got to know each other, so it was better to have this guarantee. “We’re finally here!” Ph
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
