Ronan was surprised to see Selma’s true appearance. Of course, he knew about the numerous humanoid races in this world, but he had never seen this type before. “I’ve heard of snake people who can either turn into snakes or humans. What's your situation?” Ronan was curious, but he accepted this situation very well. “That’s the reason I want to approach you.” Selma shook her head helplessly. “Our race is very unique. We don't know who our ancestors are and have never entered any territory related to humans or humanoid races. We're neither snake people nor humans but a special race of our own. Before every storm, we feel sore all over and shed a layer of skin.” Philip was curious. That description sounded very weird. Ronan was more knowledgeable about this topic, so Philip wanted to learn more about the snake people from him. “As far as I know, snake people don't have this problem. They’ll only shed their skin after reaching a certain age, unlike the situation you mentioned.”
Selma’s question reminded Philip that such myths and legends did not exist in this world, so they would not know who Quetzalcoatl was. Philip was willing to help because he thought that this woman was very likely a descendant of Quetzalcoatl. Only Quetzalcoatl looked like this in the myths. Quetzalcoatl was a deity with a human body and a snake tail similar to Selma. She was beautiful and was said to have played a key role in the world’s creation. Although Philip had no idea what ability Selma had, he could tell that she was not weak—at least much stronger than he imagined. If the dumb diners outside thought that Selma was a pushover, they could not be more mistaken. She could not only wring their necks easily but also obliterate them. “I just recalled a mysterious legend. I can’t be sure of your origins. Maybe we can find something when we enter the so-called secret realm. I’ll set off after the family competition.” Philip quickly got some information about their family an
Philip simply wanted to find out what the woman had done to Rabbit. “Taking something without permission is considered stealing. Your behavior makes it difficult for me to forgive you.” They recognized this woman as the host of the family competition. She was a beautiful woman, and many people took part in the competition because of her. After the competition, they were still fascinated by her and felt depressed because they could not catch her attention. Many people recognized her, so they were annoyed by Philip’s tough attitude. They thought that Philip should not treat their goddess so badly. “That must be Philip. Why is he so high-handed? He broke into the room while someone was taking a bath and wanted to mess with her too. He’s really rude!” “Maybe he thinks he has enough treasures to do whatever he wants!” “I won’t allow such people to go scot-free. This city is governed by humans, and we have to abide by the rules. So what if he’s human? Anyone who doesn’t follow
It would be fine if Selma was so unique that Ronan could not tell her situation, but what about the woman in front of him? “You must have some unique abilities to become the host of this competition. I don't want to do anything to you. I just want to get my rabbit back. If you refuse to let go of him, don’t blame me for doing anything.” Philip beckoned Rabbit, and Rabbit appeared in Philip's hand. Ariadna grabbed Rabbit in a panic, but it was useless. She could not control Rabbit at all. “How did you do that?” Despite thinking about it, Ariadna could not imagine why Philip’s control over Rabbit was so strong. “You stole it from my hands!” Ariadna's hands were shaking. She had been absorbing Rabbit’s energy before Philip arrived. Although it was just a small portion, it was enough for Ariadna to practice for a while. She was going to absorb more, but Philip turned up at her door and took Rabbit away. She could not accept this huge blow. “Give the rabbit back to me!” By
“So, what is she?” Although she did not show obvious characteristics, Philip could tell that she was not human. “Don't ask me. I don't know. I just know how wicked she is. How could she hurt Rabbit so badly?” Ronan shook his head helplessly, feeling sorry for Rabbit. He just wanted to find love but ended up like this. “I think Ronan is right!” Rabbit nodded thoughtfully. In hindsight, Rabbit could not figure out why he was attracted to her. “She’s a spider,” Selma interrupted. Everyone was shocked. That creature was a spider! “How could she conceal herself so well? Is she the same as you?” Indeed, Philip thought she concealed herself very well. At least Philip could not recognize her identity. Hearing this, Selma shrugged helplessly. “I don’t know if there’s another example like me, but I know that she’s not easy to deal with. She freaks me out.” Rabbit felt like throwing up when he heard that the woman was a spider. “What? A spider? I actually took a bath with
Rabbit was confined by Philip while the others stayed there by choice, so he became more frustrated as time went by. “What’s wrong with staying here? I feel that I've improved a lot during this time!” the water monster said with smug excitement. “That's right. My withered wood has revived, and we nurtured a small tree too.” The two tree monsters lowered their heads shyly, feeling very happy too. Rabbit rolled his eyes at them. “The outside world is very fun with various things going on and interesting people to see. You’ll only become more ignorant by staying here. You need to explore the world from time to time. Philip has mentioned that you can go out anytime you want!” Rabbit tried to persuade them. Rabbit could not figure out why they enjoyed staying inside so much. This place was boring with nothing to do, but they could stay there for so long at ease. Their perseverance was simply amazing. “You don't understand at all. We have our loved ones here, and we can also im
“Have you ever seen a spider woman?” Ronan tried to scare the waiter. He hated such people who lost their minds because of superficial looks. There was no point for them to continue living. The waiter frowned and looked into the distance. He had contacted the owner of the tavern, but he was not here yet! “Forget it. Let’s go.” Philip wanted to find out more about the spider woman, so he urged everyone to leave. Staying would only cause unnecessary trouble. Everyone agreed and turned away from that foolish waiter. The waiter was very angry at this scene and wanted to attack Philip. Someone noticed his reaction and reminded him, “As a waiter, I’m surprised that you’re bold enough to speak so rudely to him.” “It seems that I’ve underestimated your guts.” “I think you’re lucky to stay alive. Alas, you should listen to more gossip when you have time!” Everyone sighed and agreed that the waiter was very lucky. Indeed, the waiter was not updated with recent gossip. He had
The waiter was very scared and wanted to beg for mercy. “Oh no, I offended that person this time! Please help me out. How can I ask for his forgiveness?” This world followed the laws of the jungle. He felt that he was in danger of dying. Everyone sneered and ignored him. The waiter’s mistake had nothing to do with them.… As the waiter suffered a mental breakdown, Philip returned to Selma's residence. Selma and her people had been doing business in this place for a while. Although they had not found someone to help them solve the crisis, they still made a lot of money. Philip sighed in amazement at the sight of her luxurious house. “I can’t believe your good taste. This house is luxurious at first glance. Ordinary people won't appreciate such a place.” Philip was not referring to the luxurious decoration style but the materials used. Philip sensed an energy-gathering formation too. An energy-gathering formation was a lost art whether in this world or other worlds. Alth
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
