Same didn't know how to deal with the Evil sword, so the little chat and arguments between them went on for a long time.
In the end they came to an agreement.
Sam would let the sword stay in his dantian and absorb energy at minimum pace without affecting him in any way.
But whenever Sam engaged in a fight the sword would help him in the fight and the sword would receive a white crystal after each fight.
The Evil sword was yelling and cursing around about how stinky Sam was.
But Sam had other things to take care of so he gave a deaf ear to all the complaining and XXX remarks of the Evil sword.
...
3 more days passed by, he was looking through all the stuff in the ring more carefully.
And today he found something really interesting, it was a square piece of cloth and on it was a map.
On the top right corner of the map was the same insignia as drawn on the scroll.
He was happy ,because this was his way out of this place.
After carefully studying the map, he knew it was the map of this place.
Even though he couldn't read what was written, he could see the path shown in it.
There were different dark black and red symbols, which most probably showed danger .
After carefully studying the map he knew, he had to find the place where the map ended so that he could back track the path and get out of this place.
He knew the guy who held the map was attacked by someone or something.
The guy himself was a real powerhouse so he shouldn't have gone down without a fight .
The battle field of such power houses should not have disappeared so easily.
He created a new plan to investigate the surroundings more carefully, to find the clues of the battle.
Since the mother King cobra was not that powerful, he came to the conclusion that the battle must have occurred close by.
The mother snake would not leave for too far from its burrow as different dangers lurked around.
He also had a vague idea that the plight of the man might have been caused by the defense mechanism of the mountains.
If it was an enemy or animal, most probably they wouldn't leave behind the body and valuables.
The King Cobra fighting and killing the person in such a way was not plausible, there might have been other reasons.
but Sam didn't focus on those reasons , so he made searching the defense mechanism perimeter his priority.
After searching for two day vigilantly he was not disappointed , he found a metal stele which was depicting the same insignia of the dragon coiling around the sword and some words written under it.
He didn't understand what was written but he remembered the words written on it and made a copy of it later.
But what attracted him more was a huge hole in perfect circle shape that led into the ground in a slanted manner near the stele.
The sides of the hole were burned into ash as if some giant laser cannon was fired.
The corpse had also shown signs of its upper body being burned to nothing in a clean manner creating a small arc in the lower body.
This would perfectly align with the model of a person standing before a huge laser beam that came from the defense mechanism .
The laser beam after turning the upper body into ash went further and created the large hole.
Sam thought "I don't know what happened , but I guess my conjunctures are close to truth ... without thinking about the why's of this incident, I should focus on the directions to which I will start my journey "
