It would be fine if they knew these beasts, but no one recognized them and had no idea where they came from, which was worrying. “Don't panic, everyone. We prepared these beasts as mounts for everyone. The journey will be very slow without them,” Aslan said with smug disdain. These guys were so ignorant. Although Philip had found these beasts from other places, it was embarrassing to see everyone’s reactions to the beasts. Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that the beasts were meant as mounts for them. “Are you sure they can be used as mounts? I feel like they'll eat me alive in one bite!” “Are these the legendary ancient beasts? Why have I never seen them before? I never thought that I’d see one in my lifetime!” Everyone was at a loss because they had never seen these beasts before and could not even name them. They were experienced hunters, but no one knew it. Everyone was flustered and wondered if they should get in the carriage. Neon glanced at Philip. Although h
Everyone realized that the beasts were gone after hearing the wise man’s prompt. This speed was simply daunting. The people who did not get on the carriage regretted it. They finally received a big mission but were disqualified because they did not dare to get on the carriage. It was too late for regrets. The beasts had left. It was impossible for them to reach South City quickly at their speed. These people could only lament in the direction the beasts left. Neon and the others felt the world spinning when they got on the carriage. They finally adapted to it after a while. Right then, Philip knocked on the door. “We’re here. You can come down now,” Philip said. Neon was taken aback and glanced at his brother in confusion. Both of them were still dizzy. Their practice level was quite low, so they did not feel very good at this moment. The stronger people were not so badly affected. They simply felt dizzy, and a moment later, they arrived in South City. This speed was
Neon and the others were different. They were quite weak, so it would be bad if they encountered any trouble now. “Don't worry, I can take care of myself,” Neon nodded and said excitedly to Philip. This trip was indeed exciting, especially for Neon, who had never been outside Imperial City. In the mysterious valley of South City, an old woman was vomiting blood while bedridden. Many people gathered around, worried about her health. “Mom, are you okay? Your health is getting worse by the minute. What happened today?” a man said anxiously by the bedside, shocked by his mother’s condition. His mother had always been very energetic, leading everyone in the valley to practice their secret techniques. However, her health started deteriorating this morning. First, she vomited blood, and her body twitched all over. Now, she could not even walk. “Based on what you taught us, are you suffering a backlash?” the young man asked with doubt and caution. If his mother suffered a b
The young man's name was Abell Lauder, the most outstanding young talent in this valley. As the descendant of the old woman, his talent was unparalleled. “If I’m not mistaken, they’ll be here soon.” The man sat on the stool and closed his eyes as if he had anticipated everything. Abell grimaced in surprise to hear that. “Don’t worry, Dad. So what if they're here? I won’t show them any mercy.” Abell was still kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he had to defend his mother. The old woman was not happy that her secret had been exposed. She had planned to keep everything a secret. In fact, the old woman had harmed more than one person. Most people who knew her secret had been killed. She left only one man to carry on the family line for her. If the old woman could stand up and resist, she would kill her husband at once. However, her strength was slowly failing. She would probably die if she did not get treatment soon. “Find a white
“Philip, are you sure we’re in the right place?” Philip nodded. Although various formations had been laid out to mislead them, Philip easily deciphered them. At this time, Philip and the others met Abell, who was looking for white ganoderma in the mountain. Abell was shocked to see outsiders on the mountain, and they broke their formations too. “Abell, do you think those people entered the formations by mistake or broke through them?” a woman asked curiously. Everyone knew about the formations in the valley, so they never went out, and no one entered by mistake either. Mr. Bell Senior was lucky enough to enter the formations by mistake without dying and experienced a romantic encounter on top of that. Later, he managed to leave with his overwhelming luck. He was the only outsider they knew over the years. Abell glanced at the group of people with disdain. “They probably broke in by mistake. Maybe they destroyed the formations, but it's not a big deal. We just need to fi
The relationship between Nero and Neon was much stronger against unknown enemies. Abell felt a little transfixed by the two men who resembled him. “What a loony,” Aslan grumbled under his breath. That guy seemed fierce, but something was not right with his head. “We’re looking for someone in this valley. Maybe you’re the person we’re looking for or a descendant of the person we’re looking for,” Philip said with a smile, revealing their purpose. Aslan felt something was wrong, and the hunters discussed it among themselves. “I think this guy looks a bit like our employer!” “Yeah, I would've thought they were brothers if I didn’t know better!” The hunters felt that this stranger seemed familiar. Neon scowled. He felt the same. The two brothers looked at each other and saw doubts in each other’s eyes. “Who is this guy? Why does he look so similar to us?” Neon asked unhappily. No one present could answer this question, and even Philip looked at them curiously. Phil
While everyone was bickering, Abell released the bugs he had carefully raised. He had the best grades and had raised many bugs in private. Killing the people in front of him with his bugs was a piece of cake. Moreover, these people would die in pain and torture under his bugs, which was most satisfying! Abell could not wait to see these troublemakers kneeling and begging for mercy. Philip acutely sensed his movements and signaled to Aslan, who instantly understood. On the way here, Philip had told Aslan some characteristics of these secret techniques. One of the biggest features was making use of bugs to penetrate someone’s body by force and torture them from within. These bugs could even drain someone of all their blood. More importantly, the bugs were very small, almost unnoticeable, so many people would fall for it without knowing it. Aslan found one of the small bugs. As a monster beast, he was a natural deterrent to bugs and the like. Under his control, these bug
Therefore, this was nothing to Aslan. It was simply an appetizer. “I’m going to kill this ugly bug. Does anyone have any objection? Ugly bugs are mostly poisonous. They may cause serious side effects if we don’t get rid of them in time!” Aslan said and was about to crush the bug to death. Abell almost lost his composure at Aslan’s actions. “All lives are precious. That bug must have a purpose for appearing here. Why don’t you let it go?” Abell was very worried that Aslan would kill the bug, which would cause serious damage to him. His mother was in the same situation. Someone must have killed the bugs she planted, so she ended up in this miserable state. He would be doomed if Aslan killed the bugs he carefully raised. Abell released ten bugs just now. He would feel tired for a while if Aslan killed one. Everything would be over if Aslan killed all ten of them. He would be half-dead and take a long time to recover. Aslan was aware of Abell’s concerns, so he deliberat
