Prison Space

"Boom!"

The entire ground trembled with faint, continuous vibrations.

At this moment, the whole of Wushan Town had fallen into a state of chaos.

Zhao Nan was not in a hurry; instead, he slowly walked out of his room and turned his head toward the east.

Zhao Nan was actually feeling a bit excited right now. After all, since arriving in the Coiling Dragon World, he had yet to see the Coiling Dragon World's most iconic early-game beast: the Velociraptor.

As Zhao Nan stepped out of the house, Hogg and the others greeted him one after another.

The panicked expressions on everyone's faces gradually began to dissipate.

Although Zhao Nan had never told anyone his current cultivation level, seeing that even Barker, now an eighth-rank warrior, still addressed Zhao Nan as "Teacher" with great respect, they knew Zhao Nan was definitely no ordinary person.

And being "no ordinary person" meant power, and it meant safety.

Zhao Nan's arrival allowed Hogg and the others to settle their minds, and soon, everyone saw the creature that had caused the ground to shake.

"A seventh-rank magical beast, a Velociraptor!"

Upon seeing the creature clearly, Hillman couldn't help but exclaim.

Following Hillman's exclamation, the expressions of Hogg and the others changed drastically; even Barker, an eighth-rank warrior, looked grim.

After all, although they were not far from the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a seventh-rank magical beast would never come here on its own.

This meant that the Velociraptor had a master.

Could someone capable of subduing a seventh-rank Velociraptor be a simple character?

But soon, everyone suppressed the fear in their hearts—not for any other reason than the fact that Zhao Nan was standing right in front of them.

Once they saw Zhao Nan, even the Velociraptor, which stood two stories high and was twenty to thirty meters long, no longer made them feel afraid; in fact, they felt a sense of anticipation.

Everyone present wanted to see Zhao Nan make a move.

There was no helping it; although everyone knew Zhao Nan was a powerhouse, they rarely saw him fight.

It could be said that apart from Linley, who had seen Zhao Nan fight at the very beginning, even Ace and the five Barker brothers had never seen Zhao Nan face an enemy.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, a cold voice reached their ears.

"Is this Wushan Town?"

The voice came from a man in purple robes sitting cross-legged on the back of the Velociraptor.

"This is Wushan Town, but it does not welcome you. If you really intend to start a fight here, I think you can prepare to meet your end!"

As soon as the purple-robed man finished speaking, Zhao Nan spoke up.

The moment Zhao Nan spoke, the purple-robed man couldn't help but turn his gaze toward Zhao Nan, who was dressed in green robes.

"Who are you?"

After glancing at Zhao Nan and realizing he couldn't see through the man, the purple-robed man softened his tone.

"I said, this place doesn't welcome you. Why can't you understand simple words?"

Zhao Nan frowned and said this.

Then, he turned his head to speak to Linley, Ace, and the five Barker brothers: "Perfect, today I will let you see how a Saint-level powerhouse attacks."

After Zhao Nan finished speaking, without waiting for the purple-robed man to reply, he shouted in a low voice: "Cage Dilemma!"

Following Zhao Nan's low shout, a strange eye of the wind abruptly appeared above the purple-robed man's head.

Immediately after the appearance of the wind eye, spatial rifts continuously emerged from beneath it, constantly slicing at the purple-robed man's body.

Under the cutting of the spatial rifts, the purple-robed man couldn't even utter a single word; only endless screams reached the ears of the people below.

Listening to the shrill screams and looking at the eerie wind eye, everyone shivered in unison before turning their gaze back to Zhao Nan.

Of course, it wasn't just Hogg and the others; Doehring Cowart had also floated out from the Coiling Dragon Ring at this moment. Watching the scene before him, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Mr. Zhao Nan, is this the same method as my spatial pressure?"

"Mm. That's right. This move is similar to your spatial pressure, Mr. Doehring, though one is the Gravity Space of the Earth Laws, and the other is the Wind Space of the Wind Laws."

Zhao Nan gave a simple explanation of the situation.

"Spare me! My lord, spare me!"

Just as Zhao Nan was speaking with Doehring Cowart, a shrill scream erupted from the back of the Velociraptor.

Hearing this, no one spoke; they waited quietly for Zhao Nan's response.

Zhao Nan thought about the original story, where this guy would slaughter an entire mercenary squad just for a Depelo Shadow Diamond.

Although he hadn't slaughtered Wushan Town in the end, he had still caused the town significant losses.

Zhao Nan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the man's pleas for mercy; he simply clenched his palm, and the spatial rifts violently swallowed the man whole.

After the purple-robed mage was eliminated, Zhao Nan looked at the Velociraptor, which was now prostrate on the ground, and asked: "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Hearing Zhao Nan's voice, the Velociraptor hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing toward him and assuming a posture of submission.

Seeing this, Zhao Nan flicked his palm, and a long rope condensed from cyan wind elemental energy immediately bound the Velociraptor.

After finishing this, Zhao Nan turned to Hogg and said, "Mr. Hogg, why don't you go and soothe the residents of Wushan Town first? Tell them the danger has passed!"

Upon hearing this, Hogg nodded hurriedly, then took Hillman and Hiri with him to arrange the pacification efforts.

Once Hogg had left, Zhao Nan looked at Linley and said, "Linley, although this Velociraptor could also activate your Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, I still feel its rank is too low. How about I wait until I can find you a ninth-rank or even a Saint-level dragon, and then help you awaken your bloodline?"

"I will listen to whatever you say, Teacher." Hearing Zhao Nan's words, Linley nodded very obediently.

Seeing Linley's demeanor, Zhao Nan didn't say much more, instead turning to Barker and saying, "Barker, this Velociraptor's strength is decent, so I'll give it to you. You can use it as a mount."

As for the others, your current strength is still a bit lacking, so you will have to wait for now.

However, even though I am giving it to you, do not form any contract with it; it would be too beneath you. Wait until you find a magical beast with a better bloodline in the future to sign a contract!"

"Understood, Teacher, I know."

"I will keep an eye on it and not let it hurt anyone."

Barker was very happy to hear that Zhao Nan was giving him the Velociraptor, and he took the instructions Zhao Nan gave afterward to heart.

After all, they were all capable of cultivating battle qi now, so their future achievements would definitely be extraordinary; taking in a seventh-rank Velociraptor was indeed a bit beneath them.

Zhao Nan waved his hand, and the group dispersed one after another.

Zhao Nan did not take this incident to heart; after all, that guy was only an Eighth-rank Magus, far inferior to himself.

At this moment, what he cared about was the battle the next day—those were two Saint-level powerhouses, after all!
