After a little conversation, those people finally decided to let Mike return with them. When walking with them, Mike couldn't help but glance at their clothes. They were wearing pretty much nothing.
Except for the leaves that covered their genitals, they had nothing to cover their bodies. Mike couldn't help but lean close to one of them and ask "Don't you make clothes and wear them?"
"Clothes?" The man who Mike asked looked at Mike with confusion.
"You don't know what clothes mean?" Mike suddenly got startled as he asked. He thought they were intelligent since they could communicate properly but he didn't expect them not to know anything about the clothes.magic
"What are clothes?" That man asked Mike.
Mike pointed his clothes and said "These are clothes. You cover your body with them."
"But, why would you cover something that is unique to you?" That man asked as he looked at Mike with confusion.
Mike slapped his face and asked, "Then, why are you covering your uniqueness?"
While he asked, he pointed his finger at that man's lower part.
"They are our sacred jewels. We must protect them from any harm. These leaves aren't normal leaves. They possess the power to repel the lightning." The man spoke as he raised his sacred jewel towards Mike.
'Dude, you don't know anything about clothes but you know lightning and sacred jewels.' Mike was even more confused after talking with him. He couldn't help but glance at the female. They were walking around as if they were on the beach.
Wearing grass bikinis and panties, they were showing off everything they could. This was turning on Mike. Fortunately, he was easily able to control himself. They walked for around twenty minutes and finally reached their destination.
When Mike saw this place, he was startled. They had made a village under massive rocks. These rocks were covering the entire village and blocking the lightning bolts from the sky. The village was completely free of lightning.
When Mike entered the village, he saw many children playing around."Father! Mother!"
Suddenly, those children saw their parents entering the village and rushed towards them. Everyone greeted their own parents as well as others. But, Mike noticed something strange. When he looked around, he didn't see a single old person.
Everyone seems to be under the age of fifty. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and used the space law to get a clear map of the surrounding. Outside this place, he was having a hard time using this skill since the lightning bolts were spread everywhere.
But, here, the lightning bolts were blocked by those stones. As soon as he spreads his space law, his eyebrows started contracting. His heartbeat started rising up as well. At this moment, Mike had an urge to hurry up and leave this place.
Suddenly, the chaos spirit bloomed around him and coats his body with dark energy. In an instant, that urge fades away alongside the heartbeat that got slower.
Slowly, Mike was able to pinpoint the location from where he was receiving that immense pressure. It was just ahead of him, surrounded by small rocks. Mike gritted his teeth and thought 'Damn! I entered the big mess this time. I thought a random cultivator was pulling the tricks on them.'
'But, that pressure! It shouldn't belong to someone random. It was almost twice or even three times more powerful than the Martial King pressure. Is he a martial emperor or even a Martial Saint? Or, it could be someone above Martial Saint Realm.'
'That means I must gather the intel about this place and leave as soon as possible. There is no merit in staying in this dangerous place. I have no reason or desire to save these people. I just need to get out of here.'
Mike slowly changed his expression as he walked towards one of the men. He pulled a friendly smile and asked "I think it would be a bad idea for an unknown person like me to stay here. So, how about we talk a little about this place?"
"No, no! How can we let out guests leave without any treatment? Don't worry about anything and stay here for today. We can talk all you want at the night. For now, it is a sacrifice time." The man spoke with a massive change in his expression.
The indifferent and normal expression transformed into a big smile. Mike instantly sensed something. He felt that the man was hiding something from him. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as the brain started thinking 'Did he get an order to hold me from that person?'
'There is no way one could change their expression this quick. At least, not everyone can do it.'
Mike grew even more tense when he realized that everyone was presenting a bright smile to him. He got different vibes from these people.
"I think I will pass. I really need to find the tower soon. I don't have much time left. So, I guess I should leave now." Mike said as he made a big smile. Although his face was full of tension, he tried to maintain the normal expression.
He slightly turned around and walked away. But just he had only reached a few steps, one of the men shot the spear at him.
Whoosh!
Mike instantly sensed the attack even before it was made. He turned around and caught the spear. As long as the attack is not faster than him, he can easily sense it and dodge it. Of course, he needs to be on his guard and use the Space Law.
"What the hell, man? Are you picking up the fight just because I didn't join the party?" Mike screamed as he broke the spear in his hand."Kill the intruder! Kill the intruder! Kill the intruder!"
As soon as he screamed, Mike noticed the change in their expression. He slightly narrowed his eyes and released the space law. In an instant, the spatial coordinates around him were interlocked and formed a massive barrier around them.
"Space God Scripture- Space Cage"
Mike created a spatial lock, stopping them from moving. When he blocked that spear, he noticed it was faster and stronger than the average man but it was still way weaker than his attack.
Although Mike doesn't mind killing, he wouldn't get any benefit in doing so. Instead, he had something in his mind that he wants to test.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Kill the intruder!" "Kill the intruder!" "Kill the intruder!"
Inside the space cage, those people didn't stop moving. They kept thrusting their spear and punching at the space barrier. It didn't take long before their strength grew even more. The punches became more intense.
But even so, it was easily blocked by the space barrier. After all, it was not just a simple concept. It was Space Law itself. And, after using Space Law in this world for two weeks, he knows how to create stronger spatial coordinates.
After half an hour, those people started falling unconscious. These people didn't have a single ounce of strength to continue. After everyone fell to the ground, Mike touched his chin and thought 'Their strength never grew past Martial Advent.'
'It was too weak. Whoever is inside that stone? He was controlling them and installing power at their body. But, if he was Martial Emperor or Saint, or even higher realm cultivator, he should've improved their strength even more.'
'They feel like the puppets without emotions. It only taught them whatever they need. People above fifty are used as sacrifices. They might have worked like a normal human. But, the control wasn't that good. Otherwise, their strength wouldn't be equal to Martial Advent.'
'Should I try? But what if that person is stronger? If my thoughts go wrong, I might have to face a terrible price. Can I afford that? But, if he ends up being a cultivator, it would be a blessing disguise for me.'
'I need to reach the ninth stage of Martial Advent while improving my swordsmanship. It is hard to focus on both. If I can get resources, I can improve my cultivation with ease and also focus on my swordsmanship.'
'Man, I need to build some courage. I need to go there and examine everything. If I act like a coward every time, I would never get a chance to improve in this harsh world of cultivation.'
Slowly but Mike succeed in building up courage. These people had already lost their consciousness. So, he let them go. He slowly moved towards the stone in front of him.
After he reached in front of it, he intently looked at the stone and snapped his finger. In an instant, he appeared in a dark place. Everything around him was dark though Mike was able to see things with his Space Law
"Jie! Jie! Jie! It's been three days and now I am getting a chance to eat another human. Nothing could be better than this."
Evil laughter rang throughout the dark place accompanied with terrible killing intent. In an instant, Mike's slaughter spirit rose above him but the next moment, that killing intent got even stronger.
Crack! Crack! Bang!
The slaughter spirit formed above him broke into pieces.
