The black snake had the strength equivalent to nine stars but could not display it.
Regardless whether it was man or beast, they could not display their strength once the energy of the world was
isolated no matter how strong they were.
Philip had known this long ago, so he came up with this method. Coincidentally, the black snake chose to form a
water element barrier right from the start, which was tantamount to shooting himself in the foot.
"I give up! What do you want to know? Ask away..." Finally, the black snake surrendered.
He could no longer withstand the attacks of these water dragons.
Philip smiled and dispersed the water prison.

Philip squatted down, patted his head, and said, "This is how you should behave... Does the professor often feed
you with merfolk from the merfolk kingdom?"
Lying on the floor, the black snake narrowed his eyes as the energy of the world gathered at an extremely terrifying
speed.
Seeing such tremendous energy, Philip smiled. Of course, he knew that the black snake was trying to recover.
“The professor doesn't come to my place very often. He'll only send merpeople here as punishment when they're
disobedient."
Hearing that, Philip frowned.
It seemed that the professor had full control over the merfolk. Moreover, disobedient merfolk would be sent here
as rations, which was obviously abnormal.
"Since the octopus professor gives you the hearts of merpeople, what do you give him in return?" Philip asked.
The black snake replied, "We give him the blood for his experiments. In fact, it's not just the water snakes but
almost every beast at the mileposts of the mine has traded with him."
Philip understood very well that the trade mentioned by the black snake was done by the professor at the price of
the merfolk. That being the case, there was no rush to open the underwater ancient ruins.
However, why did the princess keep this from Philip?
Suddenly, an idea popped into Philip's mind.
Zagu, the ferocious merman before, seemed to be telling Philip that he was in danger through his exaggerated
actions. His provocation and arrogance seemed in stark contrast to the other merfolk.

Through this recollection, Philip discovered that although Zagu's performance was exaggerated, there was never
any real evil in his eyes.
His gaze was more like a pleading. He also recalled the scene where all the merfolk bowed to him.
He realized now that the merfolk had hinted to him long ago, but it never occurred to Philip that they were being
controlled by the professor.
At this moment, a huge snake tail suddenly swept over him. After all, the black snake had the strength of nine stars.
Now that he was no longer isolated from the energy of the world, he could fully unleash his strength.
These ancient beasts had practiced for a long time and had strong physical strength.
This attack was comparable to the full blow of a nine-star powerhouse.
