The Geared Immortal

Chapter 802 - Grisly Forest (2)

Chapter 802

(Unedited)

…

Five people are currently running in the forest with disheveled and bloody figures. Their bodies are riddled with wounds all over as if they just faced a life and death moment in their lives and somewhat lived to tell the tale.

As they rush through the forest, the nightmare they are running away from is currently chasing after them.

A black panther, with a scorpion's tail and razor-sharp spines on its back, is jumping from tree branch to tree branch while watching the figures that are frantically running from below.

Its mouth is filled with blood as it has already killed two of these intruders in its domain.

Not too far from this place, two dead bodies are lying on the ground while a bunch of beasts are feasting on their corpses.

"What should we do? What should we do?" asked Vilma Song with a frantic tone in her voice.

She had seen what had happened to those people who tried to protect Hua Xiao. Those two are lord-level fighters, and yet they fell easily under the paws of the black beast. She knew why they both died. It is because this place is devoid of the universe's energy. Plus, they could not use their own power in this weird forest.

Although they are strong, in this place each beast is stronger.

"What can we do? We are powerless here… I now know why this place is called the Land of Death. It is devoid of energy, and I can't even use any of my powers here!" Xiamen Gong muttered as he quickly ran alongside the burly young man.

Meanwhile, Ansen Wine is keeping quiet as he did not want to gain the ire of the rest of his companions. He could already tell that they are all blaming him for what had happened and how they all ended up in this place.

Who would have known that his casual chance to show his true might would cause a landslide and to worsen the situation they could not use their powers anymore. So the group decided to descend the cliff to escape the falling rocks.

Although they were able to escape the landslide, they were unlucky to come against a powerful creature that killed two lord-level fighters easily.

And now they don't have a choice but to escape and be chased like some prey of a mere beast.

Suddenly while running away, the giant black panther appears blocking their path. Meanwhile, some small creatures trailing from behind the group also appear.

This completely blocks their escape route as they could already feel the bloodthirst from those beasts. The five of them knew that they have no choice but to fight.

Hua Xiao and Vilma Song did not have any choice but to accept this horrible situation and regretted coming to this place. Deep in their minds, they are cursing that man named Shin Jiao and those two poor beggars. They are blaming them for the fate they are going to suffer and promised in their hearts that if they escape this tragedy, they would do everything in their power to get their revenge.

As the situation becomes really dire, the five of them are already back to back as the beast encirclement slowly tightens.

"We will not go down without a fight! Come on! Let's get this over with, you filthy beasts!" shouted the burly man as he strengthens his determination to fight.

Meanwhile, Ansen Wine would sneakily take a glance at the people beside him. In his mind, he is already planning his next move. He did not want to die in this place, if he could escape then that would be for the best.

Suddenly, a loud roar coming from the giant panther made the five people stagger. Then without hesitation, it suddenly rushes to attack.

…

Bang!

A loud explosion disrupted the air as a powerful bullet flew out and penetrated the shell of the centipede-like creature. Yellow and green goo splattered all over the place and where ever those things landed smoke would appear which shows that those things have corrosive properties.

Shin Jiao and the two with him slowly walkout from the bushes and appear near the dead giant centipede.

Meanwhile, they saw that Nariz Gumal is already unconscious and is bleeding all over.

Shin Jiao heaves a deep sigh as he takes out a small pill in his dimension. Although the pill's efficacy would lessen due to the disappearance of the universe's energy which made it really effective in healing wounds, it is still a healing pill.

He put it inside her mouth and the pill melted automatically upon entering.

Shin Jiao touches Nariz Gumal's slender hands and carefully checks her condition. From what he could tell, she seems to be poisoned and her wounds are deep.

Shin Jiao uses his ability to absorb poison and slowly detoxify her body.

Meanwhile, those two were not idle. They expertly remove the shell of the centipede-like creature and carefully remove a black sphere inside its head.

Then using a part of the tissue from its body, they wrapped it into a ball.

"Master Shin… we have already taken the soul of the beast… We can sell this in the nearest town to get some gold coins." Im Ao happily said as he walks near Shin Jiao.

"Sshh…" Im Jae signaled her little brother to keep quiet.

She could see that Shin Jiao is currently treating the wound of the woman who abandoned them in the fight. Though she did not have a good feeling towards this woman who seems to be haughty and proud while they were traveling, she dare not disturb and hinder the decision of Shin Jiao.

"Sister, why is Master Shin still good towards that woman? In this place, I think Master Shin is the only one who is able to kill this beast in one strike… Bang!" Im Ao said while copying Shin Jiao's action of shooting the beast.

"I wish I could also have that artifact that he uses that can still function in this place." He added.

Shin Jiao of course has realized that in this place, the universe's energy is not present and only mana is in the air. He could not even detect Qi, so that means he could only use mana. Hence, he removed the energy cores inside his handgun, and he used the mana in his body as a propellant.

The two stand on guard while Shin Jiao finished healing the inner organs of Nariz Gumal which seems to be in serious condition. It took him a while, and now she is already out of danger.

"Let's go, guys…" he said as he showed a faint smile on his face.

The reason for this is because; Shin Jiao was finally able to determine what that dark aura inside her body was. And as soon as he was able to touch it, his dimension suddenly reacted and to his astonishment, it began to siphon that thing inside his body.

The dimension in his body actually absorbed that dark aura and to his astonishment, the world inside his dimension seems to show some changes.

It was unexpected, but that harvest is truly interesting.

As he carried Nariz Gumal in his arms, he led the two towards a mountainside.

Then, using his psychokinesis, he takes out several swords and began carving out a cave on the wall of the mountain.

Im Ao and Im Jae were a little afraid upon seeing that Shin Jiao was still able to show his power even in this Land of Death. Though they have seen some of the powerful elders in the clan and in the empire use powerful spells, they knew that those are gained through countless years of training and hard work.

However, Shin Jiao just arrive in this place, how is he able to use such power?

This made the two idolize Shin Jiao in their minds more and decided to follow him from now on.

As they enter the cave, they immediately began to set up the beds as Shin Jiao takes out some bedding for each of them. He then covers the cave with a huge stone just enough for air but blocks any beast from entering.

Shin Jiao did not waste any time and began meditating. He wanted to see what is happening inside his dimension. He could feel some changes are happening in the world inside his body.

The world slowly floated inside his dimension and it has already formed an axis and is turning as it has created gravity which is equal to that of Earth's.

He noticed a semblance of light, but he knew that it is not the light that comes from the fire like the sun. It is a part of his energy and is not stable.

"I need to find fire essence or something like that to create something like a sun inside here." He thought as he observed.

Then suddenly something caught his eyes, he now realized what the changes inside his dimension are, and this made him show a faint smile as he nodded in contentment.

Shin Jiao slowly opens his eyes and was suddenly surprised at what he saw.
