Lyle knew that Steve’s sudden change of attitude was due to their strength. They would have been in deep trouble if they were just ordinary people. Therefore, Lyle did not take Steve seriously. He simply sighed and watched as Steve walked away. “This person is annoying and pathetic. There’s nothing wrong with pursuing strength, but his problem is being too arrogant and domineering.” Steve quickly found Philip. He knelt in front of him with a thud and a heartbroken expression on his face. Philip was puzzled by this scene and was weirded out by Steve’s dramatic gesture. However, he simply took a sip of tea and stared at Steve indifferently without a word. “Everything was my fault, so I sincerely want to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me for what I did. Please accept these gifts as my apology!” Steve offered the gifts he prepared. He had given all his prized possessions to Philip. It would be heartbreaking if Philip refused to forgive him. “I see your sincerity.”
In a nutshell, Nimbus Mountain was an extremely dangerous place not accessible to ordinary practitioners. However, Philip was different. As the heavenly path’s successor, maybe he could go down the mountain to explore. Steve could take this opportunity to learn something about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. “Nimbus Mountain is a terrifying place that no one can reach. It’s rumored to contain various treasures, similar to the legendary Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. However, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour is not open all the time. Unlucky people might end up dead after jumping off the cliff. “Since you’re connected to the heavenly path, maybe you can enter it?” Over the lengthy chat, Philip learned a lot about Nimbus Mountain and was curious about it. Since there was no way to jump off the cliff, maybe he could use a beast mount to fly down. Philip was excited at this idea. He finally found a clue to the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. He had to take a look no matter what. Even if the
In that case, Steve should make the news public in advance so that everyone would know about the cliff and maybe someone would commend him for it. Thinking of this, he quickly gathered the elders. The other elders had heard about it from Ted and gathered together at Steve’s call. They knew that Steve was ready to reveal his secrets. “I’m sure everyone has heard about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. It may be the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, but we can't reach that place with our strength.” Steve was interrupted before he finished speaking. Ted did not think there was anywhere he could not go, so he was full of disdain. “Why can't we go there? Although the death rate in that place is very high, I have confidence in my strength.” He glanced at Steve provocatively. “Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? In the past, I would've never explored Nimbus Mountain as there was no reason to, but it’s different now. I need to understand everything related to the Heavenly Path’s Car
To Philip, a swarm of giant salamanders was no big deal. In fact, they were useless to a certain extent. Philip ruthlessly blocked their sneak attacks and easily dealt with them. It proved that the strength of these amphibians was not equal to their ambitions. After absorbing the beasts’ energy, Philip felt that his strength had returned to its peak. He could kill these creatures effortlessly now. The further he went, the more Philip felt something was wrong. He felt a powerful pressure approaching, and it gave him a bad feeling. The further he walked, the more he felt as if something was trying to break out of his body. It was as if a powerful force was attracting him. Philip took a few steps forward and saw a huge skeleton in front of him. The skeleton looked like the corpse of a beast. Philip could not tell what it was, but he was scared. It was more than a hundred meters tall and almost reached the sky. Philip felt very insignificant in front of it, which sent chills
The King of Beasts might be aware of this so it sent the giant salamanders to attack Philip and lead him to the path of no return. It never thought that Philip would not be affected at all. These little tricks meant nothing to Philip. Philip crushed the skeleton and found more than a dozen pink crystals. He gave everything to Verge Tower and left happily. He gained a lot, but the giant salamanders never appeared again, probably all wiped out by Philip. Since it was getting late, Philip found a safe spot to camp. He lit a fire and roasted a piece of beast meat. He could not take salamander meat. The creature was ugly and pitch-black, and the meat did not taste very good. As Philip was getting bored, Rabbit jumped out of his pocket. Rabbit had always been with Philip, but it had been sleeping in Philip's pocket without making an appearance. As Philip started grilling meat, Rabbit popped out when it smelled the fragrance. “Hehe, your cooking skills are really good, P
Suddenly, a biting chill washed over him. Philip frowned and immediately went on high alert. “What the hell is trying to mess with me now?” Philip took out his weapon and slashed with all his might in the direction where the attack came from. The next moment, he heard a strange scream. He backed away while evading the unknown dangers. Although he felt that these dangers posed no threat to him, he did not want to be injured for no reason. Philip’s energy circulated in his body and quickly got rid of the biting chill. At this time, Philip saw many toads lurking next to the underground river. These toads were different from the ones he had seen before. They were white and could spurt icy-cold swords from their mouths from time to time! It proved that these creatures attacked him just now. After attacking Philip, they quickly changed positions and hid behind the rocks. They should be quite adept at sneak attacks. Philip could not name many of the creatures in this world and c
Philip killed all the toads around him in disgust. Their ugly appearance affected his mood greatly. “These things are so ugly. I find them annoying when I see them croaking!” Rabbit grumbled. Rabbit glared at the toads and wanted to kick the carcasses too. “As a member of the royal family, I’ve always been upright and overboard. I despise creatures that use underhanded methods!” Philip laughed at Rabbit’s reaction. It was fun to have this guy along the way. Rabbit was always lackadaisical and came up with interesting comments. “Philip, let’s charge ahead boldly. There’s no turning back now that we've taken the first step. We have to go on!” Rabbit said with determination. It had a feeling that they could find something ahead. It would be a huge loss if they returned to Nimbus Mountain now. Philip nodded and continued into the depths of the underground river. With his ability, the water of the underground river could not touch him. He stepped on the water and moved forwa
Besides, if Philip was really as powerful as rumored, this transaction would not be considered a failure. If Philip was really the successor to the heavenly path, Carol could already imagine how wonderful her life would be! Although the Pill Guild’s status was very high, two other major guilds loomed over them. As the holy maiden, her status also depended on the guild. The other two guilds were arrogant and did not like the Pill Guild, which had a poor reputation. Therefore, Carol did not have an easy time outside, and her reputation was slowly affected. Although Carol had not done anything, she knew the Pill Guild was not good either. Everything would be different if her significant other was the heavenly path’s successor. No one would dare to ridicule her or look down on her status again. They had to worship her even if she was a village girl! The Pill Guild was in chaos right now. The arrogant first elder kept saying that he wanted to take a look. Carol wanted to tag alo
“Aren't you afraid that the snakes will eat you if you stay? These snakes are not as simple as you think. I know a lot of information no one else knows about. I can be of great help to you if you take me with you.” At this point, Mason looked at Yule in a panic, hoping he would put in a good word for him. Yule looked at Mason awkwardly and helplessly. He had promised to protect Mason, but there was a premise for it. If Mason kept playing with fire, Yule could not keep protecting this troublemaker. “Don't look at me like that. I did say I’d protect you, but you’re making a lot of trouble for us now. If it weren't for you, we would've taken care of all the problems already.” Yule shrugged. He did have the idea of pleasing Mason and getting along with him, but the facts proved that he was not worth it at all. After hearing what Yule said, Mason became desperate. He panicked, feeling that his end was near. Mason glared at Philip vehemently before deciding to leave. At this ti
Mason was very confident that Philip could not break this large barrier. Philip sighed and said, “You said it yourself. Once I break this barrier, you’ll do whatever is requested of you. To prevent Mason from going back on his word, Philip reiterated the deal. Mason nodded calmly. He felt that he was powerful enough. After getting Mason's affirmation, Philip walked forward and broke the barrier without hesitation. He did it so quickly that no one could react. Philip shrugged and pointed ahead. “I’ve destroyed the barrier. You may check and see if the barrier is still up.” Once the barrier was destroyed, they could enter and exit freely. Philip waited for Mason’s assessment with a calm smile on his face. Mason frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Although skeptical, Mason decided to check. If the barrier had been destroyed, it was enough to prove that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, a weaponsmith like Mason could not afford to offend him.
“Well, I can give it a try, but I can’t guarantee the result. This is clearly an ancient formation. Even a powerful weaponsmith like me can hardly break it.” To preserve his dignity, he had to make things clear. Since he had mentioned the background of this powerful formation, it would not be too embarrassing if he failed. Lyle and the others simply nodded and smiled without comment. Mason plucked up his courage and studied the formation. He knew that this barrier’s function was just to stop them without harming them. However, it would be different once he tried to break the formation. “I’ll show you.” Mason was not sure that he could break this barrier. At most, he could only weaken the barrier for a short duration and ask them to break it by force. Although this method was a little embarrassing, it was the best choice. Philip and the others simply watched without a word. Lyle grabbed a stool from somewhere and watched with a bright smile on his face. After some work,
The palace looked very small from a distance, but it was actually so big that Philip could not see the end at a glance. Fortunately, they just had a good break or they would have been exhausted by now. “This place looks amazing,” Aslan marveled in surprise at this beautiful scenery. Just the luxurious appearance of this palace alone was more than met the eye. “Great, we finally reached the palace.” Yule was surprised at this mysterious place too. “If you hadn’t led the way, I’m afraid I would've gotten here on my own. It doesn’t seem like a good place.” The scary snakes alone were enough to keep everyone away. All the snakes were deadly creatures. It would be a dead end if they could not find the right direction in the fog. Mason could not wait to rush inside. He marched to the palace, thinking he could be the first to enter. To his surprise, he was stopped at the door. Some sort of barrier at the door blocked him. “What’s going on? Am I not allowed inside?” Seeing th
Yule made a swiping motion across his neck to intimidate his men. Everyone nodded solemnly. Of course, they knew not to reveal this secret. “Don’t worry, Yule, we’ll keep it a secret. We've eaten the meat and know how valuable it is. It’ll be dangerous if this matter is exposed.” “That’s right. They're so kind to share their food with us. It’d be too much if we repay kindness with ingrate.” Everyone spoke excitedly, and Philip smiled at their conscientiousness. They were quite sensible to keep this matter a secret for him. Everyone soon finished the meal happily, and Aslan even provided them with good liquor from his inventory. As practitioners, some liquor was nothing to them. Mason glared at everyone with envy and jealousy. No one offered him a bite until they finished their food. However, Mason was very headstrong and refused to give in to Philip even though he was drooling.Everyone knew that Mason did not get along well with Philip and the others, so no one put in a g
Yule did not expect that Philip would share his food with them. He was stunned by the gesture. “Thank you. We’d never have such delicious food if you weren’t here.” Yule took a bite without hesitation, smiling brightly. He never thought that he could eat such delicious food. Yule and his people almost went crazy over the delicious taste. They were very excited and wished they could join Philip's barbecue team too. Mason sat unhappily aside. Those arrogant people did not give him anything. “What’s the big deal with barbecued meat? It doesn’t look that good anyway.” Mason wiped his drool away. He kept mocking the barbecued meat and did not think there was anything special about it. At this time, Yule stood up and exclaimed in amazement, “As everyone knows, I’m the son of an important figure in Deadly Arena, but I’ve never eaten such delicious beast meat in my life! This is definitely premium cuisine made from premium beast meat. I’ll never give it up for anything!” Yule m
“If you’re that strong, you may lead the way and bring us into that harmless palace.” Mason fell silent at Philip’s words. He had been simply shooting his mouth off without any plans in mind. It was impossible for him to lead the way. Mason chose to remain silent after glaring daggers at Philip. Everyone took out the food they prepared for the trip, and Mason took out some dry food from his storage ring. Mason had prepared a lot of food in his storage bag, but everything had been emptied out. Luckily, he had put some dry food in his storage ring or he would have starved to death. Yule and his party could not provide a lavish spread either. They also had some dry food that was portable and longer-lasting. On the other hand, Philip and his friends were very busy, but no one knew what they were doing. Mason and the others quickly sat down to eat and rest while Aslan and the others took out the things they had prepared. Whether it was a barbecue stove or various cooking equ
Thinking of the various upcoming dangers they would face, Mason finally decided to cede to Yule after some deliberation. While Yule took a break from the fight, Mason pulled him aside. “I want to make a deal with you. If you’re willing to protect my safety, I’ll agree to one of your requests.” Yule sneered inwardly at Mason’s humble and flattering attitude. He never thought this guy would give in to save himself. Mason always thought highly of himself, but to survive in a dangerous place like East Hill Island, he was willing to abandon his so-called dignity and ask for help. “Hehe, since you mentioned it, I won’t refuse. Don’t worry, you can stay with my team. We’re comrades, after all!” Yule’s thinking was very simple. Although Mason could not hold a candle to Philip, he was a weaponsmith, after all. Maybe he could play a role at a critical moment. Thinking of this, Yule reached a deal with Mason. He did not want to miss such a good opportunity for no reason. If he a
Mason was at a loss for what to do. Mason’s actions aroused Philip's and Yule’s curiosity. They wondered what was going on with this guy. “What are you doing? Did you lose something? Or is your idea of showing us making us wait for you for no reason?” Mason scowled but quickly recalled that Yule’s things had gone missing too. Mason rushed through the crowd and came to Lyle, questioning him solemnly. “Tell me the truth. Did you steal the things from my bag? Return my things to me at once!” Mason was furious when he realized that someone had stolen his treasures. It would not matter if Lyle stole some insignificant things, but the powder was meant to save his life on East Hill Island. He could not lose it for no reason. Lyle rolled his eyes at Mason’s actions as if he thought Mason was unhinged. “What are you talking about? I thought you were very powerful, but you’re nothing but a loser. “If you’re unwilling to fight on the battlefield, stop goofing around here. Our time i
