“It’d be great if we could undo our curse. I believe all of us will be grateful to you!” Ariadna rushed forward impatiently and looked at Selma expectantly. In her opinion, Selma had to know something or she would never say such a thing. “I asked Philip to help me open the ancestral land. He promised me that he'd take action after the family competition is over.” Ariadna was taken aback and doubted her ears. She never thought that Selma would put her hopes on an outsider. Although Philip was indeed powerful and seemed like a reliable person, it was a family secret that should not be made known to others. Ariadna was conflicted and at a loss for what to do. “Whether you agree with my approach or not, it’s done, so there’s no point in saying further. Every race has the right to unlock the ancestral land. You can’t stop me.” Every family shared the same concern, but Selma felt she should believe and trust Philip. Philip smiled and shook his head at Ariadna’s hesitation. Sure e
Ariadna gritted her teeth. She could not decide this. She had to discuss it with her family. “Hold on, let me discuss with the elders of our family. After all, it’s a matter of great importance. I can’t decide by myself.” Philip smiled in understanding. This matter was indeed very important. It was reasonable for Ariadna to discuss it with her family. Ariadna returned to the crowd nervously and woke up the people deep in practice. They were taking advantage of someone else’s treasured land. Although their strength had improved by leaps and bounds, it was embarrassing. “I need to discuss something with you. Do you think we should work with Philip? They plan to explore our ancestral land.” Ariadna explained the situation without beating about the bush. Everyone was stunned and thought she was kidding. “What? Someone is planning to go to the ancestral land?” “Philip is too bold for words. What makes him think that he can return alive? Everyone knows that the place is extre
“You have quite a temper. I’ll speak to him, then!” Arachne was annoyed by Ariadna’s attitude. Arachne glared at her with disdain and walked away. Arachne knew that she could gain a good status if she handled this well. It was something she had been longing for. Besides, Ariadna was clearly afraid of offending Philip, so she would do it on her behalf. Ariadna would lose all hope if Philip fell out with them. If Philip agreed to work with them, she would claim the credit and make a mark in their history. Arachne was very excited at this thought. Philip watched them talking and could tell what they said through the shapes of their mouths. They were clearly having an internal dispute. Unexpectedly, the annoying Arachne approached them at this time. “Wow, I can’t believe that you’re one of the snake people. We come from the same origins!” Arachne’s sudden friendly approach made Selma uncomfortable. “Excuse me, I don’t know you that well. Just speak your mind. We spoke to
“Since you’re so confident, I don’t mind telling you that we’ll set off once the family competition is over. It’s best if you can keep up. If not, don’t blame us.” After saying this, Philip turned and left, winking at Selma in the process. Selma nodded and asked the butler to show the spider people out. They were not her friends, so there was no need for them to stay. The spider people were enjoying the rich energy when someone asked them to leave. “What’s going on?” “Why chase us away for no reason? There's so much energy. Just let us practice here. I’m willing to pay for it!” Everyone howled in misery. They were keen to stay and hoped they could live there permanently. Ariadna was embarrassed by their spineless behavior. However, Ariadna was curious about Arachne's conversation with Philip. It seemed that the discussion did not go well or they would not have been chased away. Arachne glared at Selma angrily, shocked that she would kick them out. She was unwilling to
“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying. As one of the four unique races, others will only laugh at our embarrassment. Don’t act like the frog in a well.” After saying that, Ariadna took the lead to leave, but the others pouted as if they disagreed with her statement. “Let’s stop listening to Ariadna. We won’t have any problem if you listen to me from now on. Everything will be fine once I get the ancestral land back for us.” Arachne started brainwashing everyone. Arachne would take the credit if they gained anything, and she had to find a way to get all of Ariadna’s glory. Besides, Ariadna would die in a few days anyway. Ariadna would have no choice but to die once she failed to get Rabbit. Ariadna felt very somber and remained silent along the way. Ariadna used to be a carefree and vivacious woman, but something changed ever since she met Philip. She lost that free-spirited energy but felt irritable instead as if something was going to happen.… On the other hand, Philip
Philip was surprised to hear that Selma had a younger brother.Soon, a young lad walked out from the kitchen. Ronan looked like a burly man next to him. “Hello, I’m Selma’s younger brother, Cavin. It’s my pleasure to set out with you.” His words made him seem more immature. “In that case, we’ll set off after a meal.” After saying that, Philip sat down for a meal with his men. As humans, eating was a must at this time of the day. “Philip, the spider people have been watching us from behind,” Cavin whispered to Philip. Philip was surprised that Cavin was keen enough to discover Arachne, who had been hiding in the distance watching them. “I’m known for my observation. Although my ability isn’t that strong, nothing much can escape my observation.” Cavin smiled in shy modesty. Philip shook his head with a smile at Cavin’s shy reaction. “Don’t worry about those losers. They want to use us as cannon fodder to help them explore the ancestral land, but no one can guarantee who will
“What has it got to do with you? Anyway, I settled it. We just need to head out,” Arachne grumbled, fully displaying her annoyance. The others simply followed orders without a word. No one cared who was the person in charge. They just wanted to reach the ancestral land smoothly, figure out the secrets of their family and themselves, and most importantly, break the curse so that they could live a normal life. No one wanted to carry this terrible curse for the rest of their lives. At everyone’s silence, Arachne became more arrogant. “Ariadna, you should stop fighting me.” Ever since she pretended to reach a deal with Philip, Arachne became arrogant and did not take Ariadna seriously at all. After all, she knew that Ariadna would not question Philip about it, so she could say whatever she wanted. Philip and the others slowed down on purpose so that the spider people could keep up. He knew that the so-called mysterious ancestral land had to be full of danger. If he did not want
Philip knew that Ariadna had taken things too far. Although she seemed sorry about what happened, she never explained Rabbit’s incident. She did not apologize or take any action but simply tried to please Philip. Moreover, she did not carry it out until the end. Philip never cared about such short-sighted people. “Philip, you’re such a nice guy. Don’t worry. After this is over, I’ll teach them a lesson. It’s best if I can take them under my wing! It’d be spectacular if I could go out riding a few spiders!” Rabbit said with a smug smile as if he was already the lord of the spiders. Philip shuddered at Rabbit’s description and felt goosebumps all over his skin. “What weird fetish is that?” Philip was terrified at the thought of riding a spider under him. Although practitioners would find various monsters as mounts, who would choose such an ugly mount? Maybe demonic practitioners would prefer spiders. After all, it was a sight to behold. They might find it cool to scare others.
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
