This place was very dangerous. It would be difficult if Aslan wanted to play the hero. The woman glanced at Aslan gratefully. “It’d be great if you could take me home. I'm seriously hurt.” She looked up at Aslan expectantly as if waiting for Aslan to take her home. Aslan tilted his head in startled confusion and wondered what she was insinuating. “Are you saying you want me to take you home?” Aslan said curiously, thinking he was mistaken. The woman nodded eagerly, hoping that Aslan would take her away quickly. Aslan had bent down and stretched his hand out when he stopped and stood up again. His face was full of disdain as if he realized something. "You need to sound more convincing if you want to scam others. Why would you go home when you’re out for training?” Aslan seemed to understand something and walked around the woman curiously. “Is this a ferocious beast that has taken on a human form?” Philip could not help but laugh at Aslan’s reaction. He was so blunt
When Philip looked back, he saw that Aslan had reached the edge of the pit and was about to jump down. Philip reached out and smacked Aslan to make him sober up. Aslan returned to his senses and looked at Philip in shock, wondering what just happened. “Philip, how did I get here?” Aslan scratched his head and looked at Philip in confusion. Philip was exasperated. Obviously, Aslan had been bewitched by something. “I finally know what's so scary about this place,” Philip said helplessly as if he had discovered something new. Aslan looked at Philip with lingering fear as he wondered what Philip was about to say. “This place is full of temptations, and you’ll fall for it easily if your mind is weak. What happened to you just now was the best proof. You were nearly fooled by the fox earlier and nearly fell into the pit next. You would've probably jumped down if I hadn't been around to stop you.” Philip peeked into the pit, which was a long way down. Aslan would probably die
“I suspect there’s something down there. It's probably the secret we’ve been looking for. Let’s take a look down there.” Aslan waved his hand at Philip’s suggestion. He was very scared by now. “Philip, didn't you see those people jumping to their deaths just now? How are we going to get down? Should we jump too?” Aslan said like a coward. Philip sighed and said, “You’re such an idiot!” Philip summoned a flying beast. He jumped on the beast's back and flew into the depths of the pit with Aslan. Aslan chuckled awkwardly at Philip’s witty trick. “What a great idea. Why didn’t I think of it?” Aslan scratched his head in embarrassment. Aslan sat on the back of the beast and admired the surrounding scenery. This deep pit was so enormous that they could not see the end of it. It felt like a miracle of nature. “Look, there’s only one outcome for those who jumped down.” Philip pointed at the people who were splattered on the floor. Philip still remembered the arrogance in thei
Manta quickly returned to his senses and patted his chest in fear. He never thought that he would have the urge to jump into a pit one day. “What’s going on? Is there some magical power in this pit?” Manta glanced at the pit nervously and staggered back, unwilling to stay there any longer. Manta glanced at the members who kept jumping down but finally decided not to help after much deliberation. He was not a god and could not save everyone. It would be over if these people dragged him down with them. He would not suffer for anyone’s sake. Manta turned around and ran away without hesitation. He wanted to enter the pit from another place. He saw a road leading into it not far away and decided to give it a try. It was better to go around instead of jumping to his death. After Philip and Aslan entered the pit, they saw a big paradise before them that gave them a comfortable feeling. Aslan followed Philip cautiously, which looked a little dodgy for such a burly guy. “Thi
“Are you here for the Labeau family’s secrets?” the rabbit suddenly spoke, almost freaking Aslan out. Aslan never expected that the rabbit could speak and could hardly accept it for the time being. Philip was not surprised but looked at the rabbit with interest instead. “Oh, you can speak. In that case, why don’t you take us to see the so-called secret of the Labeau family?” Philip said with a smile. This rabbit was quite intelligent and looked very cute. However, Philip did not know how strong the rabbit was or its intentions, so he made some plans too. The little rabbit flicked its ears and signaled Philip to put it down. “I’ll take you for a look, but you have to promise not to hurt me!” The rabbit's red eyes darted around, and Philip nodded in agreement. “Well, it’s a deal. Let’s see if you can catch up with me.” After the little rabbit landed on the ground, it hopped very quickly forward. Philip quickly took Aslan with him. At their level, a little rabbit could
“The so-called secret of the Labeau family you mentioned earlier, is it here?” Philip asked curiously. The rabbit would be dead if it dared to lie to him. “I hope you can answer my question truthfully. After all, I like eating rabbits very much. Barbecued rabbit is a pretty good choice.” Philip took out various seasonings and showed them to the rabbit. Philip would cook the rabbit if it disobeyed him. The little gray rabbit trembled in fright and begged for mercy. That pitiful rabbit could not withstand Philip’s torment at all. “I brought you to the right place. Stop thinking about eating me! This is the so-called secret base of the Labeau family. Do you see the house in front? You can find the secrets of the Labeau family over the years once you enter the house!” With the rabbit’s explanation, Philip understood what was going on. That house was just an illusion as a cover for the entrance in front. No wonder the house looked a bit surreal. It was something similar to a
Some people said it was a door while others called it a portal. Everyone had different opinions about it, but no conclusion was ever made. Philip was very excited upon hearing that. Maybe that was what he was looking for! “However, this family has disappeared for many years, and it became a secret in the end. I can only bring you to this point. I have no authority to enter that place.” Philip simply nodded at the rabbit’s explanation. “Since you've cleared everything up, you may go.” After saying that, Philip walked in the direction of the mirage, followed by Aslan, who had been immersed in the story. As Philip entered that place, the rabbit smiled like a human. “Let’s hope you’re the chosen one mentioned in the legend. You’ll be in luck if you uncover the secret.” The gray rabbit hopped behind Philip, simply staring at him without following. “Philip, don’t you find that rabbit weird?” Aslan whispered. The rabbit seemed to know a lot and seemed to be leading them
Philip shook his head helplessly and continued marching forward, reaching the top very soon. The last few were quite stressful but posed no threat to Philip. Aslan huffed and puffed as he followed Philip and finally reached the top too. “It feels like we’re standing at the top of the world.” Philip glanced around with a smile. He had to admit that the scenery was pretty good. Philip was curious about something dazzling in front. Without hesitation, he walked over and grabbed the shiny thing. He looked at the thing in his hand and realized that it was a portal. The portal glowed with a golden light and looked very attractive. “Philip, is this the thing mentioned by that rabbit?” Aslan could not wait to enter the other world through this portal, but he knew that now was not the time to risk it impulsively. “I think so. I believe the rabbit will find us soon. Don’t tell the rabbit about this for the time being. Let’s fool it,” Philip said with a smile. He wanted to know
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
Moby quickly told Philip everything he knew. He knew that he had to tell Philip the truth to gain Philip’s approval. The fish creatures would get a lucky break once Philip approved of them and accepted them as their followers. Meanwhile, the demons knew Philip's strength through Akash’s escape. Not only were they not deterred, but they became more interested in Philip. They were curious to find out more about him. They even spread news about Philip in the city, but no one knew if they were doing it for revenge or to stir things up. While Philip learned more about the situation, Lyle and the others went out again. They simply could not sit still at home. Although the outside world was a mess, they could learn more about local sights and customs. Lyle and Aslan preferred to sit in a tavern and listen to gossip around them. At this time, the storyteller arrived excitedly, almost bursting with important news. “I heard something big today. Guess what?” Everyone looked at him e
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
