Chapter 3374
The First Heir
Seeing Philip unmoved, Chase asked, âWhat is the purpose of your trip this time?â
âSpecial herbs,â Philip replied.
âIn that case, you should really go to the First Continent. You can find all the special herbs in the
territory of the fire phoenix royal family that canât be found in the ancient dragon royal family.â
Philip did not reply. He could not reveal his whereabouts to others.
After the meal, Chase noticed that Philip had no intention of staying. He insisted on giving Philip an
elderâs token with Lily Sword Court engraved on it.
He said, âElder Clarke, please leave us your contact details.â
Unable to argue with this person, Philip had to exchange his contact information with him.
He set off again. After a while, he received the names of several forces sent to him by Court Master
Nunez, complete with their leadersâ information. Presumably, these must be the friendly forces
mentioned by the court master earlier.
âThis person is a little interestingâ¦â Philip smiled as he thought so.
âCourt Master, if the White Marsh royal family questions us, what should we do?â a sword practitioner
asked.
âJust tell them we havenât seen him and donât know him. They canât arrest us or torture a confession
out of us, can they?â
The man looked puzzled and said, âWhy do you insist on befriending him?â
âHeâs a rare talent in swordsmanship that weâve never seen in the past thousand years. That was the
case with the Bamboo Swordsman who traveled all over the world a thousand years ago.â
Chase continued with a smile, âThe Bamboo Swordsman was also a wanted person back then.â

Philip had been driving for nearly two days but saw no signs of a city. After looking at the map, he
realized that he was now in the largest spirit beast forest on the continent.
It was almost time for lunch, so Philip parked the car slowly on the flat ground beside a large lake.
Just as Philip was about to catch a few fish to eat, a weird fish with a length of 100 meters suddenly
jumped out of the lake. It stretched out its tongue like a chameleon, caught Philip with its sticky tongue,
and dragged him into its mouth.
Philip was unable to break free from that stickiness for a while and slid down the passage into a huge
empty space.
Before Philip got ready to blast his way out, a weak voice rang, âIs someone there? Can you help me?â
With his hands in flames, Philip followed the voice and walked into the depths of the empty space.
The place was very wet and sticky, making it very uncomfortable. Soon, Philip saw a dying old man
lying on the ground. The old manâs legs were corroded, and he tried to grab Philip. He was obviously
corroded by strong acid.
Philip said, âYouâre almost dying. Do you have any final words?â
Hearing Philipâs words, the old man suddenly regained his energy.
He waved his hands and said, âA premium body! Iâm not dying! Iâm not dying!â
Suddenly, a gurgling sound was heard in the empty chamber. The four fleshy walls around slowly
opened, and an endless gush of transparent mucus poured in.
Philip glanced at the old man. Feeling pity for him, he picked him up and flew away on his sword.
The slime corroded everything in the empty chamber.
âI caught you!â The old manâs voice suddenly sounded.
