He was also the first person Philip had come across to participate in the Heroes Conference, which should be very
interesting.
Around noon on the fifth day of living here, the sound of a group of people approaching the wooden house caught
Philip’s attention. It should be some people traveling. Philip was not bothered and got up to prepare lunch.
The leader stopped after seeing the wooden house.
Seeing them stop, Philip continued to prepare his meal without raising his head.
He asked coldly, “What’s up?”

Philip had not shaved recently and looked a little weather-beaten.
“Are you talking about those earth-elemental monkeys?”
Philip was boiling water, getting ready to cook some meat.
“Yes, please give us some pointers.”
“If you follow that direction, you’ll reach a rock mountain. With your speed, you should take about half an hour to
reach it.” As he spoke, Philip pointed in the southeast direction.
”Thank you for your advice, Sir.”
After saying that, the leader left with his people.
Before they had gone far, the hot-tempered man said indignantly, “Why were you so polite to that barbarian? He
didn’t even look us in the eye.”
”That temper of yours will get you into trouble sooner or later. This forest is full of danger everywhere. Someone
who dares to live here can’t be that simple. That wooden house of his is made of materials found in this area, but
it’s no different from the ones made in a factory,” the leader explained calmly.
“Maybe he has a machine to chip wood,” the hot-tempered man mumbled.
”I’m saying that he may be a weapon expert. We’re here for the Heroes Conference, so we must be careful and not
act recklessly.”
“It seems that he didn’t lie to us.”

stone apes.”
“My name is Chet Wayne. Thanks for your directions just now.” As he spoke, he placed a stone fruit on the wooden
block in front of Philip.
“I’m sick of it. You can keep it.” Seeing this fruit again, Philip answered helplessly.
However, the man did not take it away but left with his people after saying goodbye to Philip.
“Do you think he’s pretending?” a young woman walked to the front and asked.
”I don’t think so. The stone apes were quite aggressive when they saw us coming in, and many fruits were missing
from the stone tree, so I think that man has gone there before.”
“Oh, but anyway, I can improve my level now, so I don’t care,” the girl said.
