Mason soon led his people away from Philip's location. Philip was still collecting the herbs and was not anxious at all. “Philip, are you sure we don’t need to hurry up? I have a feeling that Mason is up to something or he wouldn't be so confident. He was the first person to mention the King’s Ruins, so I’m sure he knows something. Maybe he even has a map of this place.” Yule was very nervous when he thought about the stakes. If they lost, would they really have to run around the city naked? That would be too embarrassing. He could never face anyone again if he did that. “Don’t worry, someone is already exploring the area and will map out the place soon.” Philip calmly ordered everyone to collect the herbs, and no one seemed anxious at all. Yule could only bite the bullet and bear with it. Since Philip was so calm, it would be embarrassing to act like an ignorant greenhorn.Very soon, Rabbit hopped in front of Philip. “Philip, I found everything you wanted to know. Don't
Philip held the map drawn by Rabbit and walked ahead without a care in the world. Since rabbits were creatures with keen senses, the route they took was relatively safe and bypassed all the danger zones. Mason was not so lucky. He had taken another more dangerous route. Something felt wrong about this route. “I feel that we’re going around in circles." “Yeah, are you sure this is the right way?” The people of Deadly Arena were puzzled, wondering what was going on. This path was not only full of danger, but they also seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Mason looked at the map in his hand carefully. He did not find anything wrong with it. “This is definitely the correct route drawn on my map. We just need to follow the directions shown on the map to reach the King's Ruins. We can’t miss the treasures there.” As Mason walked, he recalled Philip collecting herbs along the way. Maybe he could do the same. He said expectantly, “Pay attention to the plants you see
Mason scowled unhappily. However, he did not ask them to continue collecting herbs for him but led them forward. “Forget it. Let’s go on and leave the herbs alone.” Mason was not an alchemist, so he had no idea what the herbs were used for. He simply did not want to miss out on good things. “Listen up, let’s just focus on traveling and get this done.” Mason quickly rushed forward with the team. With his strength, it should be easy to catch up with Philip. However, he was sorely mistaken. Philip was calmly collecting everything he could find in his path. After all, it was too easy for him to reach his destination with his strength. Philip and his men went through a narrow road and arrived at a vast area. Philip saw a field of strange plants in front of him. “Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see towering mountains here.” “You’re not mistaken. I see various birds, fish, and bugs in front. Wow, are we really underwater?” “I seriously doubt what I’m seeing right now. So
Rabbit felt both awkward and helpless. It knew that its initial exploration was useless now. The others looked at the surroundings curiously, wondering what was going on. In short, this place looked very strange. “I’ve been to such places before, but this is scary.” “Do you call this scary? I think it’s out of this world. Who would've guessed such an incredible scene?” Everyone was puzzled, wondering how the seabed would contain mountains and various birds, fish, and insects. “I know. They must've made these things to welcome distinguished guests like us,” Aslan said with a laugh. As a monster beast, he had a deep affection for nature. “In that case, why don’t you take the lead and see how the other party will welcome distinguished guests like us?” Philip teased Aslan with a smile. Rather than finding it interesting, Philip thought this situation was somewhat dangerous. He firmly believed in Murphy’s Law that anything that could go wrong would go wrong. Everyone headed
Seeing that it was getting dark, Philip decided not to do anything at night. He told everyone to find a few big trees and set up camp on the trees. “We’ll set up camp for the night and set off tomorrow morning. This place is very strange, so it’s best not to rush in blindly.” Everyone was persuaded by Philip’s reminder. They nodded and started to set up tents. No one thought of making a fire. Anyway, practitioners were resistant to cold. They would simply feel uncomfortable in extreme climates. Very soon, the moon appeared above everyone's head. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the pool of water, and waves surged. A huge bronze door emerged from the bottom of the pool just like that. Water flowed over the bronze door with a thunderous roar. Gusts of cold wind whipped up from the bronze door, and the temperature nearby plummeted. Hearing this commotion, Philip and his friends emerged from the tents and saw these changes. “Could that be the entrance to the King’s Ruins?”
“Wow, some people are in such a hurry to die,” Yule marveled at the stupidity of Mason’s people. They had watched as the door emerged and could tell how dangerous it was. However, Mason rushed in without a care in the world. “Let’s follow them. Since they've entered, there shouldn't be any big danger,” Philip said. Philip led them into the bronze door of the King's Ruins with a smile. His only concern was whether he could find something he wanted in the King’s Ruins. He had to find the Binary Herb. He could not let others steal it from him. It was an important material for alchemists and weaponsmiths. It was also helpful in restoring one’s strength. After his men entered the bronze door, Philip noticed that the door was quickly sinking to the bottom of the lake. “Hurry up. The door is about to close.” Philip was the last to enter and knew what he should do. They felt uncomfortable all over when they entered the door. Their internal organs seemed to be under tremendous p
Philip’s men quickly left the spot. No one believed that Mason could last long. Before leaving, everyone left words of ridicule. Mason was so angry by their taunts that he almost passed out. “Damn it, I won’t let you off. Just you wait!” Mason yelled vehemently, wishing he could rip Philip apart. No matter how much he yelled, Philip had left and could no longer hear him. He and his group had returned to normal after a brief rest. Mason was anxious, but there was nothing else he could do. “Let’s go, everyone. We have no time to lose. Philip has surpassed us. At this rate, they’ll take the lead,” Mason urged the team. He had a feeling that he would lose the competition if he missed the head start. Everyone nodded in agreement. They gritted their teeth and moved forward. Philip and his team were in good condition and full of energy, but Mason and his team looked lethargic and pitiful. “Philip, I’m amazed by the effects of your pills. I feel as if you can do anything. Can w
“Philip, we need to run. That thing is a bronze golem, and it’s freaking me out. Just look at it. I think it can kill me easily.” Rabbit was terrified, at a loss for what to do. “What? A bronze golem?” Philip was surprised to encounter something like that. Everyone gasped and became more interested in the King’s Ruins. It was very difficult to make a bronze golem. The craftsman had to extract the souls of large monster beasts and infuse them into a humanoid bronze golem. It was a cruel and grueling process. No ordinary person could produce a golem of this difficulty. Everyone grimaced at the sight of the golem and felt that it was difficult to deal with. “This golem is not easy to deal with. It’s a force to be reckoned with!” Yule winced, clearly trying to act tough. “We’ll probably be at a disadvantage if we fight that monster head-on.” After much deliberation, Yule decided to follow Philip’s order. It would be best if Philip was willing to fight. With Philip’s strengt
“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
