Montel quickly contacted a company that specialized in appraisals to conduct an appraisal on the meat as soon as possible.Philip was lying on the bed in his room and having a conversation with Aslan through voice transmission. “Philip, I have a feeling that something is not right. After thinking about it, I feel that something is off with the eyes of these people!” Aslan was a special person who always focused on weird angles in various matters. Philip was pleased to hear that. He thought Aslan had not noticed it. Philip had noticed the strange looks in these people's eyes during the meal. They looked normal on the surface, but a weird green light would flash in their eyes from time to time. However, they behaved normally like ordinary people, so Philip could not accuse them of anything just because he noticed that green light in their eyes. “What do you think?” Philip asked calmly. Aslan frowned in thought. He knew Philip was testing him. “I don’t think they're human,” A
The villagers actually fed them human meat today! Aslan felt offended. While they chatted, Philip heard voices conversing in the distance. As a person with senses far beyond normal humans, Philip could pick up the softest whisper from a far distance. Philip stopped chatting and listened to the conversation carefully. “Those two people have eaten so much meat. They’ll probably transform tonight, right?” That aged voice obviously belonged to the village chief. “I think they’ll change soon. We don't have to wait till tonight. They obviously haven’t had a full meal before to have eaten with such relish. It’s really interesting!” This voice belonged to the second elder. “Hehe, they’ll become our kindred after eating that!” The village chief smiled cruelly, but Philip could not see it. However, Philip could judge from the tone of his voice that he was not simple. Philip did not expect the villagers to be hiding so many secrets, but he still could not figure out their background
Fennel did not forget his duty and followed Wynn to the villa. Wynn pushed the door open and was dumbfounded. A huge lizard was waving its tail in the living room. Wynn was frightened to see this dark green lizard. Although she was already a practitioner a half step to the other shore, she was a woman, after all. Women were usually afraid of reptiles, so Wynn’s mind went blank. Fennel rushed forward and shielded Wynn behind him while blaming himself for his negligence. How did this terrifying thing appear within their safe territory? Everyone was accustomed to this safe environment and eventually stopped paying attention. Unexpectedly, this terrifying lizard turned up. Fennel sensed that this lizard had the strength of a half step to the other shore. Was that really strength that a beast could attain? Fennel scowled and said coldly, “Tell everyone to evacuate at once!” At this time, Martha heard the commotion and walked downstairs. She was in a good mood and planned to take
It would be best if they could talk in peace without fighting. Fennel did not want to destroy the villa. It was their home. It would be a nuisance if they had to fix it. The lizard struggled to return to his human form. Fennel looked at this unfamiliar face and confirmed he did not know this person. “Tell me how you got in,” Fennel said solemnly. The lizard that turned back into his human form ignored Fennel. Although he was still in shock, he could not be happier with his powerful combat ability. “Take note, my name is Yeger. From now on, I shall rule the world!” Yeger said with a smile, not taking Fennel seriously at all. In his opinion, Fennel was just his stepping stone. After he mastered the control over his body, he understood how powerful he had become. Fighting with the guy in front of him would be a piece of cake. Before long, someone found Martha in the bushes and pulled her aside without a word. Montel returned to the villa with the report. The researchers ha
Seeing that the other party was obviously stalling for time, everyone was worried that something might happen later. “Stop your meaningless struggles. All of us are practitioners a half step to the other shore and above. Do you really think you can escape unscathed?” Montel tried to persuade him. Yeger was amused at their attempt to get him to turn over a new leaf. “You guys are very interesting. Why should I compromise with ordinary people like you when I finally have this strength?” He sacrificed his appearance and some basic abilities of a normal person in exchange for this power. What was wrong with this deal? The shadow of his tail swung around and lashed out at everyone. He was confident that few people could physically withstand his full attack. Yeger smiled brightly when he saw Fennel's lack of reaction. He could already picture himself taking over this villa. Fennel looked very powerful but was so useless that he could not even react under attack. In fact, Fennel d
Since joining Philip's team, Fennel had become more animated. He was usually stoic, but he would show some emotions occasionally. Yeger was dumbfounded at Fennel’s remark. The man in front of him was so strong, but he was not the boss! How powerful was the boss of these people, then? “Tell me, how did you get in? What's your purpose here?” Montel said in disdain. He could not be bothered to explain anything to this guy. They were always at odds with each other, and Montel wished he could simply toss him out. Of all things, why did he choose to turn into a big, smelly lizard? Yeger lowered his head and knew that he had to seek help. Although he resented Montel, he had to oblige if he wanted Montel to clarify his identity. “There are rumors outside that this villa is full of treasures, so I found a woman named Martha and paid a high price for a token. “I didn’t think that this token was useful at first, but when I saw many people being blocked outside, I realized that th
Wynn took the initiative and said, “This is my mother's fault. We can't condone her anymore. She has to suffer a punishment to realize the importance of this matter!” Even Wynn could not overlook Martha’s repeated mistakes anymore. In the past, Wynn could speak to everyone and gloss things over. If this continued, however, they would slowly lose respect over time. Besides, this was clearly Martha’s fault. Wynn did not want this incident to affect the relationship between Philip and everyone. “I propose to confine my mother for a month and stop her from stepping out of the room and communicating with the outside world. We can get a caretaker to keep an eye on her,” Wynn voiced her opinion. Since Martha was an ordinary person, it was difficult to mete out any punishment. Everyone nodded in agreement without any objection. No one expected that Wynn would suggest a punishment for Martha. For a troublemaker, a month of confinement was more than enough. She would definitely feel
While the villa was in an uproar, Philip was eavesdropping intently.Philip was enjoying the conversation between the elders and the village chief. Through their conversation, Philip was surprised to find that they were lizard people. A genetic screening would automatically take place after someone ate some practitioner meat. The lucky ones would turn into lizard people and continue to live, while the unlucky ones would become dead bodies. However, the success rate of transformation was not very high with practitioner meat, so the lizard people gradually found a new method, which was the meat of fellow lizard people. They were neither beasts nor humans, simply a special existence. In their human form, their eyes would flash green from time to time, especially at night, which looked bizarre. “Only lizard people are eternal existences!” the first elder said solemnly. Philip was shocked to hear their conversation. He could not imagine what kind of world it was. Like Philip, A
“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.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
