At this point, Buck no longer saw Philip as an ordinary person but as a god. “Are you a practitioner?” Buck asked Philip curiously. Buck always had a smile on his face, even when facing a crisis now. Philip had a good feeling about that. “Aren't you one too?” Philip smiled without much reaction. Buck had reached the peak of the seventh zone, just a step away from a half-step to the other shore. With a little effort, he should be able to reach that level before forty. Philip had assessed Buck. Although he was quite old, his ability was quite good compared to an ordinary practitioner. On the other hand, Rich was almost 30 and still acted like a playboy. With his weak abilities, he might not even reach a half-step to the other shore by the end of his life. “Your practice level is higher than mine at your young age. I feel embarrassed,” Buck said in embarrassment. He admired Philip from the bottom of his heart. Philip kept a low profile even though he was so strong. H
Reality proved Rich wrong. The other party simply relied on his strength to withstand that wave of attack. It was amazing for them to be so strong. Rich would be safe if Philip and Buck could protect him. Rich dragged his injured body and quickly found Philip. He felt that Philip and Buck were kind folks. They would protect him if he pleaded with them. “Hey, guys.” Rich forced a smile, trying to get into Philip’s good books. However, Philip ignored him. He was clearly an ignorant and arrogant loser. Taking him along would only drag Philip down. Buck glanced at Philip and immediately understood his intention. He was under Philip’s protection, so he would never offer to protect Rich without Philip’s consent. Besides, Buck did not like Rich’s arrogance either. Rich was nervous and angry when they ignored him. However, his anger disappeared at the sight of the huge octopus not far away. Nothing was more important than staying alive. As for seeking vengeance agai
As the guardian monster beast of the portal, the octopus would never allow anyone to steal the portal. Since it could not find the culprit, no one could leave today. Before the octopus could attack them again, Rich suddenly had an idea and rushed in front of the octopus. “My lord, I’m sure you can understand me!” His attitude was very sincere, and he was just as shameless as a lapdog. Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. The octopus was astounded by this human’s stupidity. Did he think a negotiation was possible? “We have a powerful expert here. Although you’re strong, we may not necessarily lose to you!” Rich was nervous and yelled at the octopus aggressively, trying to use Philip to intimidate the octopus. Philip was amused by his actions but remained silent. He wanted to see what would happen. If this problem could be resolved effortlessly, it would be best. Sure enough, the octopus fell silent. As an intelligent monster beast, it knew what
The rays of light that entered their bodies were not poison or a curse but slivers of its own aura. The octopus could track down their locations anywhere in the world through this aura. It then disappeared into the ocean. As calmness resumed on the water's surface, Rich sat down on the ground and gasped for breath. He did not expect to encounter this scene. Fortunately, he managed to convince the octopus to leave them in peace, or the three of them would be dead by now. He looked at Philip and Buck triumphantly. “See, you still have to rely on me at the critical moment. You two didn't play any role at all. I was the one who forced the octopus back!” He glanced at Buck and Philip with disdain and provocation. Rich sneered and went to a cabin nearby to retrieve his girlfriend's backpack. Her mobile phone was inside. He took out the mobile phone and found that the signal was back to normal. Rich called for a plane to pick him up. He did not want to stay in this pla
The monster beast's aura trembled as if it had encountered a tough opponent. Seeing this scene, Philip knew that his energy could devour the aura. Before he could do that, Verge Tower sent a signal to Philip. Verge Tower seemed very interested in this thing. After thinking about it, Philip wrapped the aura in his energy and took it away. Since Verge Tower wanted this aura so much, he would oblige. Very soon, the other sliver of aura appeared in Verge Tower. The two auras quickly merged into one powerful aura. The aura circled Verge Tower as if playing with it. Philip glanced at Rich but had no intention of helping him. He did not want to help an arrogant and undeserving guy like him. Rich was not bothered. He could not even sense the monster beast's aura. Rich was very weak, unlike a practitioner at all. The monster beast's aura was very strong and could conceal its presence in his energy core very well, so it was normal that Rich could not detect it. He tho
The octopus would be fully prepared to deal with them next time. If the octopus was really the so-called guardian of the treasure, it would not be long before it went after Rich. With no one to protect him, Rich would be dead in the face of such a powerful monster beast. Rich scowled at Philip. He had said so much, but Philip acted like a mute and deaf person. He ignored Rich's sarcasm and was unwilling to reply. “Hey, I'm talking to you!” Rich was furious. He wanted to infuriate Philip so that Philip would reveal his identity, but he did not take the bait. In desperation, he had no choice but to focus on Buck. This guy seemed pretty chill, but he was human, not a saint. He could hardly hide his emotions and desires. If Rich stooped low enough, he should be able to make Buck angry. “Hey, Fatty, what are you doing here? Since you turned down my offer to join me, what gives you the right to board the same plane as me?” Rich was clearly trying to make a mountain out of
Rich told them everything he knew while Buck nodded along. He knew about it too and was here for the excitement because of this legend. However, there was no excitement, and he even suspected that it was a scam. “So? Did anyone find the treasure?” Philip joked. Of course, he knew the treasure mentioned had to be the one he found. Now that it was in his hands, no one else could ever find it. The other two shook their heads ruefully. “It’d be great if I found it. I feel like we've fallen for a scam. How could there be such an amazing treasure? And that rumor about opening another time and space? Simply ridiculous.” Rich sneered, not believing a word of it. He was skeptical at first and even more annoyed now. He vowed to catch the person who spread the rumor and teach him a good lesson so that he would not dare to say another word from now on. Philip looked at Buck. Rich was unreliable, and he wanted to hear from Buck. Buck shook his head helplessly. He found nothi
It was nothing but an abandoned security door! Philip was speechless. After going through all that trouble, the treasure he found was nothing but a piece of junk that was not worth a second look. However, he treated it as a treasure and put it in Verge Tower because he found it on West Ocean Island. Philip felt insulted by this result, but he was not an impulsive person. There had to be a reason why this ugly security door was there. Without thinking twice, Philip simply shut the door and withdrew his consciousness from Verge Tower.The door stood resolutely in a corner of Verge Tower. The monster beast's aura, which had been purified by Verge Tower, circled the door curiously. After the purification, the aura no longer contained any aggression or awareness of the monster beast. Although Philip could still feel the presence of the monster beast in this aura, it was completely separate from the octopus. In other words, Philip could use this aura to conceal his presence.
