“He’s Surrey Shell, the person with the highest practice level in the Shell family. He’s the supreme emperor of the
ancient dragon royal family and also the only top expert in the seventh continent at the holy-tier level. Do you know
what a holy tier means?”
As she spoke, Claire stared at the image in front of her with admiration.
This old man was the emperor of the ancient dragon royal family who ruled the seventh continent!
A holy-tier powerhouse!
“Oh…” Philip nodded.
“What do you mean by that?” Claire puzzled to have Philip manner.

“The trip to the forbidden area this time is very dangerous. I’m very pleased to see everyone here,” The old man
stroked his beard and continued, “I won’t be taking part in the young people’s activities this time. All the treasures
obtained in the forbidden area will belong to the individual.”
Everyone cheered at the announcement.
“However, if we find anyone making trouble or robbing other people of their secret treasures, don’t blame the royal
family for showing no mercy.”
As he spoke, the old man’s eyes sharpened, and everyone shuddered.
‘What a strong mental impact,’ Philip thought.

The old man gave a few more words of advice and left after chatting with the leaders of several major forces.
As it was getting late, Philip and the others returned to their rest cabins after dinner. He never expected to meet
the emperor of the ancient dragon royal family so soon.
According to the division of strength in the original world, the holy tier should be the realm of the other shore!

Early the next morning, Philip woke up the others, but Hardy was nowhere to be seen.
“Leave him be. Let’s get the consumables…”
In the open area downstairs, several teams were already lined up to collect their items.
“On the left is food rations, in the middle are daily necessities, and on the far right is simple combat equipment,”
Elder Whitmore explained briefly.
“I’ll get the food rations.”
“I can get the combat equipment.”
“I want to get combat equipment too.”
“Let me get the daily necessities, then.”
Philip moved to the food rations. At the front of the line were a few people from the royal family. He frowned when
he saw that everyone had to enter their information before they could receive the items.
Since the royal family might be aware of his existence, he could not rule out the possibility of being drugged. If they
prepared something special for him, it might be difficult to guard against.
At this time, there was a commotion in front of the line.
“Fatty, do you have to take so much?”
“Hehe, I’m fat, aren’t I? I need to eat more.”
A chubby guy was walking forward with sealed rations for more than a dozen people in his arms, and he would
receive a wave of abuse and ridicule wherever he went.
However, that fat guy merely grinned and said, “Sorry, excuse me.”
Philip saw this opportunity. When this person approached, he slightly raised his hand to change the space under the
person’s feet.
The guy’s center of gravity was unstable, and he was about to fall forward. However, he did not forget to protect
the food in his arms before falling.
Philip smothered a chuckle and stepped forward to support him with one hand.
Although a little puzzled why he stumbled, the guy still said earnestly, “Thanks, buddy!”
While speaking, he jerked the food in his arms toward Philip and said, “Buddy, take one.”
“It’s nothing. I can get the rations later.”
Although he said that, Philip had made use of his space ring when he helped that person just now and took three
bags from the middle of the pile of rations.
The fat guy felt a little embarrassed and said, “My name is Hiram Pine. If you need anything, you can look for me in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Pine family’s team.”
With that said, he left.
Philip thought this man was interesting. Although he was thick-skinned, he was too embarrassed to accept favors
from others.
As the line moved forward, Philip saw the right timing and left the queue. He lined up behind other teams instead.
As Philip guessed, a situation unfolded in a hidden room of the building after all the dry rations were distributed.
A member of the royal family who was distributing the dry rations bowed and said to the tall figure in the shadows
in front of him, “My lord, the special dry ration wasn’t given out.”
“It’s okay. This is just a small part of my plan. He must have noticed it.”
“My lord, what shall we do next?”
“Let’s wait and see what happens. Although the rabbit has been alerted, a rabbit is still a rabbit. The forbidden area
is enclosed all around. He won’t escape so easily. I’ll capture him in the forbidden area myself!”
“Good luck, my lord!”
The figure waved his hand, and the member of the royal family stepped back.
“Oh, Philip Clarke, how dare someone from the White Marsh family enter our territory so boldly? I’ll make you suffer
a fate worse than death.”
With that said, the figure laughed menacingly. This person was none other than Hardy Shell who disappeared
earlier.
