“You probably don’t know that the abyss golden Beetles live in the depths of this forbidden abyss, a place where even our hunting party dare not enter.” Philip snorted coldly and said, “Do you think you have a choice?” Philip spoke to the captain bluntly. No matter what the captain was up to or how dangerous he thought that place was, Philip would not give him the right to refuse. Of course, if they did not care about Old Siete’s life, everything would be naught. “This is no joking matter. The danger there is beyond your imagination, and you can only find the abyss golden beetles after entering the forbidden fortress.” Hearing that, Philip felt that he had to go there. Since there was a forbidden fortress here, someone must have been there before, and his mother’s clues might be hidden inside. Philip said, “You don’t have anything to consider. I want you to take the risk, and I’ll be going with you too.” Hearing that, the captain of the hunting party realized that something must have attracted Philip for him to appear here and want to enter the forbidden fortress in the depths. His mind started racing again. A person who could control the devouring beast in the abyss must be quite powerful, and whatever it was in the depths of the abyss, it was good enough to attract Philip’s attention.
The objective of their hunting party was to go to places that others dared not go and seek a livelihood, including better practice resources and special treasures. A hint of eagerness filled his eyes. “Okay, since you said so, we’ll go with you, but Old Siete…” While talking, he looked at Old Siete who was still hung by the devouring beast’s mouth. Philip turned to Panther and said, “Keep watch here. You can let him go when I return.” The other members of the hunting party had a mind of their own too. From the captain’s words, they caught a hint of interest, so they did not refuse but got ready to follow the captain into the depths to take a look. “After you, then,” Philip said to the captain. The captain gave an order, and the group of seven walked toward the depths of the abyss. Along the way, Philip did not speak to them but followed them from afar. Since there were free guides and labor, it would be a waste not to make use of them. Although they encountered some small obstacles along the way with some unknown exotic abyssal beasts rushing out to attack them all the time, they quickly got rid of them each time. The group stopped in front of a dilapidated fortress.
