The group of old men had been rejected again. They were annoyed but could only try their luck again tomorrow. “I refuse to believe that I can’t even buy a pill. Find out what’s up with this store. We’ll line up when the store opens for business tomorrow!” “That's right, I don't believe he won't sell the pills when money is at stake. We need to buy all the pills in this store!” Everyone was furious. Well-respected people like them had never suffered such disrespect before. “That young man isn’t in the wrong. They're simply not open for business during non-working hours. We don’t have to get angry.” Many reasonable people were more amiable and not so radical. The more aggressive people calmed down and nodded awkwardly. The other party had a point. “You’re right. Let’s forget it and stop kicking up a fuss. We can see for ourselves when we enter the store tomorrow.” Everyone comforted themselves, and the matter quickly came to an end. The next day, Philip and the others ope
This bunch of old men reacted differently. Some were respectful and polite while others were blunt and not very reasonable. Lyle was exasperated by them. “Anyway, I’ve said everything I can say. If you want to buy the pills, hurry up. If not, you don’t have to stay here anymore. It has been half an hour now. We’ll be closing soon.” Lyle felt annoyed by their constant chattering. It was aggravating to see them being so suspicious of the pills they clearly wanted to buy. Some amiable people bought some pills, and Lyle served them with a smile on his face. Very soon, one hour was up, and Lyle closed the door sternly. Those people with a bad attitude and who doubted Lyle had no choice but to return empty-handed. These old men had never suffered such humiliation. They were angry, but their good upbringing prevented them from losing their temper. “That kid is really arrogant. It’s just a lousy pill. Let’s see if it’s really that effective!” They were still unwilling to believe
Everyone quickly stuffed the pills into their mouths as if afraid that someone would steal the pills from them if they were too slow. They returned to normal after taking the pills. They laughed contentedly and decided to celebrate over good food and wine. They usually abstained from greasy food and liquor. These old men had not touched wine for many years. As commanders and strategists leading the battlefield, it was hard for them to stay away from wine. “Let’s go to that newly opened restaurant for a drink!” “I heard that they serve very good food and wine there. Let’s have a good time!” Although they had no chance to eat and drink, they had always been paying attention to such stores. After deciding, they marched to the restaurant while the remaining few old men were sullen. They did not expect that the pills would be effective, but the store was already closed for the day. Moreover, their crude and doubtful words just now might have offended others. Thus, they felt very b
Lyle approached Philip. Of course, they knew what was happening outside. “Philip, that old man has been sitting outside all night. I think he’s going to stay there until we open the door. Is he really that persistent?” Lyle said curiously. He thought the old man was out of his mind. “If he really wants a pill, he can just ask someone to buy it for him. Why sit there in person?” Aslan was puzzled and could not figure out his intentions. “He’s just being earnest. You guys don’t understand him at all. He feels that he has offended us, so he's waiting at the door to apologize to us. Since he has gone to such lengths, let’s not make things difficult for him anymore.” Considering the other party’s age, Philip could not bear it anymore and asked Lyle to open the door. It was no big deal to open for business earlier today. Lyle tidied up the store and opened for business early in the morning. Bane stood at the door nervously, wondering how he should apologize. Lyle started clea
Bane smiled. Since Philip invited him to have some tea, he would not refuse. He had smelled a rich fragrance at the door, and it refreshed his mind and body. He felt much better after that. Bane thanked Philip and drank the tea in one gulp. After that, he glanced at Philip excitedly. He was surprised at this perfect cup of tea. He was unsatisfied with just one cup of tea, but he was embarrassed to ask for more. Philip obviously read his thoughts and poured him a bigger cup of tea. “You can steep this tea all day long. You just need to add hot water from time to time. But you can only enjoy the effects of the tea leaves for one day. They'll be no different from normal tea leaves after that.” Bane nodded excitedly. He never thought that Philip would reward him with a pot of tea like this! Millions of energy stones would not be enough to pay for this pot of tea! He was not a businessman and could not make an accurate valuation, but he had never seen this tea before. It had to
Bane was excited to get hold of a pill. He thanked Philip and ate the pill. The next second, he felt good all over. “My word, this is simply awesome. I’ve never felt so comfortable in my life, not even when I was at my peak during my younger years!” Bane marveled. He drank a cup of tea and found that it seemed more effective. “This tea can purify your energy. Although your body has returned to its peak, your energy hasn’t. As you know, the stronger your practice level, the purer your energy is. This tea can rectify many problems,” Philip explained with a smile. Bane was excited to hear that. Although there were only two leaves in this cup of tea, he knew its value. “I’ll sell a limited quantity of tea every day, only 25 grams.” After speaking, Philip pointed to Lyle, who was packing the eye-catching tea leaves on the side. The tea leaves were individually packed in an exquisite box. “You simply need one tea leaf if you’re making it for yourself. Two tea leaves are ove
“Shopkeeper, you’re simply awesome to be able to fix everything with just one pill. Our ailments have been bugging us for a long time!” Monty was more familiar with Philip, so he walked in and thanked Philip. As soon as he walked into the store, he was almost immersed in a refreshing and comforting fragrance. “What’s that smell? It smells like tea. I feel as if my soul has been purified with just one whiff.” Hearing that, everyone walked into the store and made a pleasant discovery. They felt as if their energy had increased with just one whiff. Bane quickly concealed his cup. He felt embarrassed to let anyone see that he had such a good thing. However, they knew each other so well that they immediately caught Bane's movements. “Hehe, stop hiding it. If you have any treasures, take them out and share them with us.” Monty stepped forward and grabbed the cup from his hand. Bane said in embarrassment, “Hey, I was just drinking a cup of tea from this store. It’s pretty good.
After much deliberation, Bane finally decided to buy everything. After all, it was good for his health. At most, he could take it once a week. Everyone noticed Bane's actions. They rushed over and found that the tea leaves in Bane's cup were the same as the ones for sale. “I want to buy it!” “Say, Old Clarke, don’t think of taking everything for yourself!” “How could you keep this treasure to yourself, you selfish old man!” Everyone complained, and Bane finally divided the tea leaves according to the number of people. Everyone agreed on a time to buy the tea leaves again. “Your purchasing power is so strong that I've decided to sell it once a week. You can come again next week.” Philip smiled helplessly. He was flattered that they flocked to buy it despite the high price. Soon, the old men left the store excitedly with their purchases. Everyone was shocked by their appearance. The onlookers never thought that these well-respected old men would buy something from this st
“They killed Violet right before my eyes. This is too much. I have to avenge Violet! I’m going to rip them into pieces!” The snake women cursed as they retreated, but their fear was apparent. They never thought they would encounter such strong enemies. However, Lyle and the others did not relent. It was easy to take care of these creatures with their strength. Thus, they did not let the snake women escape. “Stop them from running away. Let’s show them how powerful we are.” Lyle waved his hand, and his men caught the snake women who tried to run. “Cut off their tails as a gift for their matriarch,” Aslan said leisurely with a wave of his hand. An eye for an eye, that was the law of the jungle. They brought this upon themselves, so no one sympathized with them. Even Foxy was indifferent to the development of things. “We must teach them a lesson. They're up to no good. I've heard of their evil deeds before,” Foxy added fuel to the fire. Everyone looked over curiously, wo
The upper bodies of the snake were human while their lower bodies were a snake's tail, which looked very strange and out of place. “The monster that took Philip away was quite pretty, so why are these monsters so ugly?” As a person who placed importance on appearance, Lyle complained in annoyance at this unfair treatment. The snake women understood human language and scowled at Lyle's words, shocked by the insult. “Stupid human, you’re really bold to humiliate us like this. Are you not afraid of death?”The snake women were very unhappy and rushed toward Lyle angrily, upset with his arrogance. Lyle and the others sprang into action excitedly. It was interesting to see everyone fighting without hesitation. “Brothers, since we've provided you with weapons, do your best and don’t let us down.” With Lyle and Aslan's motivation, everyone started fighting excitedly. With their strength, it was easy to take care of some snakes. However, the snake women were a force to be reckon
Philip looked at the snake monster curiously. This creature was clearly not a thousand years old. According to rumors, the ancient monster that lived in the palace was at least ten thousand years old. “I attacked you because I'm interested in you. Did you think I was just making things difficult for you? The person behind me wants to see you. Why don't you come with me?” The female snake commander was expectant. She hoped Philip would agree without thinking and save her the trouble. Philip was clearly the strongest among them. As long as he was taken away, the other weaklings would have no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy. “I knew there was someone behind you.” Philip smiled. Since the other party had made preparations, he would oblige. Yule was worried. He did not want Philip to leave with the other party. It was a big risk. “Philip, don’t go. This place is full of dangers. If you go with them, these monsters will devour you in no time. Everyone knows how scary thes
Although the matriarch did not have a good impression of humans, she longed to visit that crowded and lively place. “I’ll lure them over and get rid of them one by one. It’ll be a piece of cake,” a female commander in armor stepped forward and said smugly. It would be easy to quickly get rid of these useless guys with their strength. Meanwhile, Philip and the others were hurrying along the way, feeling all the more that something was wrong. “We seem to be trapped in a maze.” Philip frowned as he looked around, realizing the problem. They had been running around in circles with no way of getting out. “Hehe, you guys are quite smart to figure out that you’ve been trapped in a maze. In that case, why don’t you offer someone as a sacrifice so that you can leave this scary maze?” As Philip and the others were discussing the predicament, a terrifying voice rang out. Everyone was horrified upon hearing this ghastly voice and looked around in a panic, wondering what was going on.
“I’m surprised to find trespassers on my territory after so many years. In that case, let me show you what I can do.” The charming woman would pick up a glass of red liquid next to her for a sip from time to time. Many maids stood around waiting to serve her. “Find some people to greet these uninvited guests. Let them know it’s not that easy to trespass on my territory. This isn’t a place where they can come and go as they please. They should've remained in Deadly Arena instead of goofing around here. They’re simply asking for death.” A triumphant look flashed in the woman's eyes, and she finished the red liquid in the glass in one gulp. “What a bunch of losers.” At this moment, one of the maids approached the woman with a bow. “Matriarch, I think the man in the lead who gave out the pills is quite strong. He seems to meet your requirements,” the maid said tentatively, setting her sights on Philip. The woman frowned at the screen in surprise, but it was quickly replaced w
“It's just an ordinary snake. Why are you so afraid of it? Look, it’s not even poisonous.” Aslan toyed with the snake in his hand calmly. Everyone looked at this scene, shocked to see Aslan toying with that unknown creature so boldly. “There’s really no need to be so scared. This snake is nothing special. I can even wear it on my waist as a belt.” Aslan tied the snake around his waist casually. The next moment, he found that his hands had become red and swollen. Everyone was horrified at this scene and surprised by this development. “Hey, have you been poisoned? Get away from the snake!” “Stop putting up a strong front. That snake is obviously poisonous.” Everyone urged Aslan to throw the snake away, but Aslan found that his hands were stuck and he could not get rid of the snake at all. “I want to throw it away, but it’s stuck to my hand. I can’t do anything.” Aslan looked at Philip in a panic. He had never encountered such a situation and was at a loss for what to do.
“Of course, I do.” Rabbit smiled smugly. Philip was curious at Rabbit’s reply. “In that case, tell me about it.” Philip quickly collected his emotions. Since Rabbit knew about it, they did not have to waste time and take the risk to explore. Rabbit nodded and looked at the luxurious palace around it calmly. “This palace looks familiar. It should be the snake monster’s territory. I’ve always been at odds with that snake monster, so I hate this place.” Rabbit took out a handkerchief and covered its nose with it. “It stinks so bad that I can smell the stench from a long distance.” Rabbit scowled, clearly hostile toward the snakes living here. Philip and Rabbit whispered in a corner, and he quickly understood the situation of this palace. The owner of this palace was a snake demon who had lived for 10,000 years. It was not only powerful but also bloodthirsty. If it had not been trapped in the palace over the years, it would've devoured the entirety of East Hill Island by
“Dude, are you okay?” Everyone ran to him in a panic, at a loss for what to do. They looked at Philip before turning to the poor victim again. Philip took out a pill from his pocket and asked Lyle to pass it to him. However, Lyle found that the other party had been corroded down to his bones. Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene. It was shocking to find that their comrade who fought side-by-side with them had been taken without even leaving a whole body intact. Everyone fell silent as the pile of white bones vanished before their eyes. Everyone was flabbergasted by the strong acidity of the rain. “This damn acid rain took my man’s life!” Yule scowled. Yule thought that the snakes were difficult enough to deal with. Unexpectedly, the palace affected them more than the snakes. Everyone sighed upon hearing that. “No wonder the snakes stay away from this palace. This place is scarier than they are!” “I thought this was a very safe place, but it turns out to be the mos
“The air in this place contains corrosive energy. If you want to leave alive, put it on without further delay.” Hearing that, Yule put on the cloak in a panic. He knew that Philip would never lie about this. Moreover, he did feel some discomfort. Philip became more curious about the hidden secrets in this place. “Corrosive energy in the air? Hehe. This is getting interesting. I’ve never encountered such a situation in all my years of travel. What an eye-opener,” Philip sneered. He was very intrigued by this mysterious palace. He had never felt such a sense of crisis before. This palace was simply over the top. At this time, one of the guild members felt uncomfortable, so he took off the cloak he was wearing. He wanted to adjust his clothes. The cloak was very well-fitting and would adjust according to the person’s body shape. However, his clothes under the cloak felt tight and uncomfortable. After he took off his cloak, he put it aside and quickly adjusted his clothes. He
