Laney fell into contemplative silence after Adrian's revelation.She thought about it for a long time before saying, "I've never thought about that… But what else can we do? Where can we seek refuge? Which faction in the human world will accept monsters like us?""Well…"Adrian was at a loss for words. In truth, he hadn't formulated a plan. He was there because sleep eluded him, his mind restless for reasons he couldn't comprehend.An inexplicable frustration nagged at him, lingering without apparent cause. Attempting meditation had proved futile as the troublesome thoughts persisted.He had decided to take a walk and overheard their conversation when he made it to the rooftop.That was why he said what he said.However, he had to think through how to deal with the issue.In reality, what Laney said made sense.There was a big gap between humans and monsters.While some training factions accepted supernatural beings or appointed monsters as guardians, it was a rarity. Intimat
The five individuals went by the collective name Five Watts.They were no ordinary mortals—they were human immortals and adept monster hunters.Walking behind them were a middle-aged man and a young man.The elder one exuded majesty and authority, adorned in sophisticated attire that spoke of affluence. He was none other than Demarcus Herrera, the master of the Herreras in Silverboa City.His son, Noah Herrera, donned brocade clothes and stood beside him with a cynical expression.Noah asked, "Dad, do you believe we'll gain anything from hunting fox monsters in Verdant Summit? We've brought our strongest armored guards from home. We can't return empty-handed! Why do I have this nagging feeling that we've been deceived?"He subtly gestured toward the Five Watts, leading the way.Demarcus frowned and whispered, "I'm not sure, but they claim rare enlightened white foxes are in this summit. I believe them. Besides, even though our alliance is driven by personal interest, they remain
Archie remarked, "Do tell, Mr. Demarcus."Demarcus replied, "Well, since you'll have the monster cores, about my son's training… please do your best."The Watts stopped in their tracks upon hearing that. Doubts flashed through their eyes as they exchanged glances.Demarcus, caught up in the moment, remained oblivious to their reactions.Archie communicated with the others through consciousness, asking, "What do you guys think about this?"The three of them looked troubled and remained silent.Zak, the eldest among them, voiced his thoughts, "It's nothing. Noah is mediocre. Without those pills, there's no way he could reach such a level. After all, the Herreras are wealthy. Treat this as a trade. We can provide him with pills to aid his training. It's just that..."Archie interjected, "I know. We have to keep this a secret. The faction can't find out. Just like that arrogant Val we encountered. We would've been doomed if we hadn't disguised ourselves in time!"Edgar was frustrat
However, Noah's situation was different.Generally, people only used external elixirs as auxiliary means to level up or reduce risks.On the other hand, Noah directly used external elixirs to elevate and enhance his strength. With little effort, he achieved a stage that most people dream of throughout their lives. Only with the presence of power in the body could external elixirs serve as supplements. However, even with assistance from the elixir, one still must continue honing their level. Meanwhile, Noah used the pills directly, which was a distinct difference from how others used them. After getting stronger, the Watts also taught Noah some basic techniques of Mystic Elixir. Although Noah couldn't master them perfectly, he achieved a decent level of proficiency. Through diligent practice, he made some progress and mastered some. Noah's approach involved risks similar to the effects of using stimulating drugs. While it greatly increased his strength, it also hid potential d
But now, things had changed.The middle-aged man clenched his teeth, and threads of fresh blood oozed between his lips. However, he displayed no sign of cowardice because he was a man of integrity. Even in the face of death, he wouldn't show any favor to these evil creatures.The girl couldn't bear to witness Quintin Guthrie in such a state and shouted anxiously, "Uncle Quintin!"She attempted to step forward to aid the middle-aged man, but the Iron Guardian Legion beside her firmly held her back.Quintin had become the girl's sole emotional support. She didn't want anything to happen to him. After all, she had lost her family, and he was now the only elder left she could trust.Demarcus looked at Quintin with disdain and said, "Quintin, you are now a prisoner, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"Quintin coldly retorted, "Even as a prisoner, I stand tall and fearless. I won't fear you wicked creatures. Even in death, I will become a vengeful spirit and tear you all into pieces!"Al
This wasn't because the formation was too powerful but rather due to the intricacies of spatial changes within it. Their blind attacks only led to the dissipation of their mana in the distorted space, failing to break the formation. Only a highly trained expert could directly dismantle it.Zak couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a powerful formation! I can't believe it encompasses the subtleties of spatial changes!" He then shouted, "Formation, everyone!"With this command, the other four adjusted their positions, forming a pattern of the five elements and supporting each other alongside Zak.The five-person formation surged with mana, merging into a singular entity. Their synergy made them appear as one.Another sword ray shot out, more than ten times more powerful than the previous strike.Accompanied by a resounding bang, the entire valley seemed to shake like an earthquake. Those standing behind the Watts were wobbling, swaying as if they could fall at any moment. Even someon
In reality, the true Turk family was an unbroken aristocratic lineage of fox monsters. Therefore, not all fox monsters were born into the Turk lineage. The Turk lineage dated back to ancient times, so it was impossible to trace when the Turks first appeared. However, a tradition of worshiping the Celestial Drago had been passed down in their family. It seemed that their ancestor had a deep connection with Celestial Drago.Unlike other monsters, fox monsters of the Turk lineage seemed to possess an extraordinary spiritual power. This spiritual power's blessing allowed almost all foxes in their family to sense the heavenly arts and hone the immortality arts. Their innate intelligence seemed to surpass that of other monsters. It was difficult for monsters to hone the immortality arts primarily because of the difficulty of achieving 'enlightenment'. When wolves began to ponder why they ate meat, and rabbits pondered why they ate grass, this was the beginning of enlightenment.Unfortu
After that, he accelerated even more, a move aimed directly at Archie!Archie doubted that Adrian could match his power in a confrontation. Suddenly, he saw a sharp sword essence directly aimed at his vital points.This move made him tremble. He had never expected Adrian's attack to be so powerful! The ruthless force it carried brought immense pressure.Instantly, he shifted from offense to defense, channeling all his strength into defense. However, Adrian's strike suddenly became incredibly formidable. In an instant, it arrived before him and delivered a powerful impact, causing Archie to groan. His figure flew backward, almost falling to the ground.Seeing that, Adrian took a swift step forward. Then, a sword was directly pointed at his opponent's neck, inducing a sense of suffocation and completely restraining him.Although Archie was currently in a controlled state, his expression remained sharp, carrying a formidable edge as he stared at Adrian.Adrian smiled coldly and as
