Robin narrowed his eyes upon hearing Laurie, "Then come on, get me out, do you want to bargain with me or what?!"
"No No, but." Laurie bit her lip, "To release you, we need the key, and the key is with the caravan chief... Wait for him to give it to me so I can get you the food and then you can pretend to push me aside and run away!"
"Hmph, if it were that simple I would have run away days ago, I can't run from that caravan chief... he's a scary person." Robin shook his head.
"Then... Then we will just wait until the caravan chief is away to do some business, he doesn't do that often but in happened in the past a few times, he will surely leave the key with one of his assistants, then it will be your chance!" Laurie spoke quickly, "You can't escape now, if they come and see damage to the metal bars they will kill you or at least raise their guard level by fold, please listen to my words!!"
Robin was about to refuse and order her to shut up again, But he restrained himself...
Nothing he knows can affect these bars other than the major heavenly law of fire, and to make a hole big enough to get out would need a few hours...
During this time the giants will return - according to the girls - and it will all be over
Another foolish option is to use the talismans that he has on the bars to cause a dent in them, but the explosions will affect him and at the very least he will have burns and external wounds that prevent him from moving, and the sound will attract giants faster!
The last option is to listen to what the girls say and stay...
He... Has to listen to these slaves of the giants and relate his fate to their tongues.
There is basically a great chance that they are just very good at lying and that thing about the giants returning quickly is a facade in order to prevent Robin from escaping
Robin's features shifted from concentration and thinking to squeeze...
This bet is simply too big!
"Hey.. listen to the girls.. they won't hurt you even if they hate you to the core, human boy..." One of the prisoners spoke, and the rest nodded
Robin looked aside at that person, he didn't look like he was lying either, even the rest looked serious in their gestures.
But that person drew his attention to something else, if one of these spoke to the giants and told them about his strength or his agreement with the girls, he would be eliminated as well!
The bet just got even wider and more dangerous...
"...Damn it, never mind, I will stay!" Robin shouted, then returned to sit with his back resting on the metal bars, just as he first was, as if nothing had happened...
but he was angry with himself for his helplessness... He handed over his fate to a handful of slaves and prisoners.
The girls let out a big sigh and quickly gathered together and started talking in a low voice.. .
Everyone had completely forgotten about the monster that scared the demon!
------------------
after one hour---
*baa*
The sound of a crash came next to Robin, and when he looked next to him he let out a sigh of relief, he really is one of the giants...
Only now can he rest assured that the girls weren't lying to him
Then the giant began to ask the girls about what happened, but they answered him that nothing came and that the monster must have taken another path, so the giant was relaxed and released a distinctive cry...
And after a few seconds, the rest of the giants also returned to the caravan and continued the journey right away
The prisoners strangely did not speak either...
Robin was already prepared that he would be reported by one of the prisoners and the girls would defend him, but all of this was a fantasy in his head...
None of them uttered a word, Robin did not know whether this was out of fear of him, hatred towards the giants, or because there was a possibility that they would escape as well...
He didn't know.. and it doesn't matter anymore as long as they keep their mouths shut~
But the girls doing this for him and the prisoners keeping quiet... it appears that they weren't completely submissive and dead inside as he initially thought
As for himself, he regained his clarity of mind and decided on his next path, after his recovery was complete, it was time to invest this unlimited energy in something else.
Breakthrough to a higher level!
In general, Breaking through to a higher cultivation level needs the necessary energy + a higher understanding of the law in which the pillars were built...
As for energy, there is no need to think about it, it would be absolutely no problem!
As for a higher understanding of the law... there was no fixed technique that Robin can follow or a pattern for the truth that can be figured out, he just had to use the law frequently to understand it more
After reaching 90% of inspecting the major law of gravity, and observing the major heavenly law of space for a long time during his flight here...
Robin felt He would no longer have a problem if he tried to break through a few levels now.
As long as the plan is to wait for the Caravan Chief to leave the place for something before trying to escape, he no longer needs the Major Heavenly Law of Gravity right now, but rather needs a sufficient supply of energy to fight those six giants and then escape, level 16 will not suffice him
And with that decisive mindset, over the next two days, Robin actually managed to reach Level 17 in one hit!
"Tch... Fishbones has been annoying lately." said the head of the caravan when he felt the turbulence of energy coming out of Robin.
The sentence hit Robin like an arrow and made him pay attention to what was around him as he tried to quickly suppress the effects of his breakthrough, then he followed with the edge of his eye the Seven Giants to see if anyone wanted to investigate further.
But in the end, they all ignored him again, saying that it is a new race and its behavior is incomprehensible...
"Heeh~" Robin let out a big sigh when he realized they had continued their way down the road and looked forward again...
Happy with his achievement, he tried to take a short break before he continued toward level 18, but his mood immediately turns sour.
The demon was looking in his direction again...
"Didn't you learn your lesson you little piece of s----?" Robin muttered angrily but paused mid-sentence, there is something strange this time about the demon...
If his mouth no longer drools but is closed... his sitting no longer indicates preparation for the attack, but rather... anticipation?
That thing is no longer looking at Robin as if it wants to eat it, but rather as if it is waiting for something!
