The Geared Immortal

Chapter 805 - Jixinyo Village (2)

Chapter 805

(Unedited)

…

While traveling with the party of adventurers to the village they called Jixinyo, he could detect and sense thick blood smell from their bodies. He knew that these people have taken far too many lives of both beast and humans.

From what he learned from Im Ao and Im Jae since the war began in this land a few years ago, it seems that the war has left a devastating effect on this land.

As they walk closer, Shin Jiao noticed that a few people have pitched their tents on the side of the road. And as they continue walking he could also see many atrocities happening. The lawlessness in this place is too rampant that basic human rights are already non-existence.

It's like walking towards a den of beasts.

Many of the men in the area look at the two women with hungry and lustful eyes.

Suddenly, as they neared a tall tent made of beast leather a tall and burly man walks out followed by an old man wearing a black hooded cloak. The old-looking man looks like a wizard along with his long staff embedded with a crystal gem.

As they walked out, a few of their underlings immediately whispered something towards them and pointed in the direction of Shin Jiao and their group.

When the party leading Shin Jiao on the road towards the town saw the approaching people, they all showed wide smiles on their faces.

The subservient look they had before now contorted and turned sinister as they suddenly rushed forward towards the incoming group.

"Leader Hai, Great Magus Alo, we have a prize for you…" the burly-looking woman said as she immediately bowed.

Seeing the woman bowing down, the smile on the huge man she called Leader Hai became wider. He has already seen the two women behind the man in that group. From the clothes they are wearing, it seems that they are well kept and clean, and this thoroughly gained his interest.

He never had a clean woman before and with such beauty at that.

Even the man in front of the group looks a bit in his 40's but still looks attractive for his age. From this, Leader Hai knew that he could fetch a good price if he sold these people to the mage beside him. Plus, he might even enjoy the women first.

With this in mind, a large grin appears on his face.

The burly woman wanted to say something when her companion patted his back and shook their heads.

Shin Jiao stopped in front of Leader Hai and his gang. He could feel the intense gazes of the people being thrown towards them.

But what he could not take is the stench these people have. It has been a long time since he smelled the natural stink of a human body. He knew that a normal human would have such a thing and only those who have become cultivators or mages have a different sweet smell in their bodies.

And out of these people in front of him, only that old man smelled different.

He knew that this old man is a mage judging from his clothing and his aura and from the way the people around him acts towards the old man.

"Hahaha… It seems that I have a good day today…" Leader Hai chuckled as he takes a few steps near Shin Jiao's group.

"My name is Hai Ba Long… and I am the leader of these people. You people have intruded my territory and because of that, you have to pay…" Hai Ba Long said with an evil grin.

Shin Jiao was a bit amused at the man who thinks that everything is rolling in the palm of his hands. He also feels a bit entertained at the five who were grumbling at his feet a while ago and now has changed their attitude towards him.

But he did not care what these people think, he is just here to investigate this world and would soon leave after he could discover the mysteries that are controlling this world.

"I am Shin Jiao and these are my companions. We came here from the outside world." Shin Jiao said without hiding anything.

Even without him saying anything, he knew that these people already knew where they came from. This is because of their robes.

"Hahaha… This is very funny… Well, Mister SHIN JIAO… how will you be able to pay me for your intrusion to my territory?"

Shin Jiao acted like he is thinking of something, then with a wave of his hand a five pill bottles appear on the ground.

When everyone saw this, they immediately take a step back.

This is because they now discovered that the man in front of them is actually a mage. And this immediately filled their hearts with fear and trepidation. Who would have expected that this man in front of them is actually a mage, and from his ability to materialize things out of thin air, his power might be terrifying?

Hai Ba Long's forehead is immediately covered in sweat. He subconsciously backs away as he did not want to die first under the power of this mage.

Meanwhile, the old man's brows are creased. He did not see how the young man was able to conjure such magic without chanting, but he knew that the power of that magic is not that simple.

Space magic is one of the hardest to master in this world. Even in his old age, he was not able to understand space magic.

But judging from this man's figure and face, he might only be in his late 30's or 40's but he is already proficient in such mysterious magic. This made the old man think twice about what to do with Shin Jiao's party.

But upon thinking deeply, he soon realized that there are many people around him. If he can convince them to gang up on this mage, maybe he could capture him and get to learn his space ability by force.

He began making plans in his head while the situation in front of him is turning awkward.

"I will not say anything else… I will give you guys these healing pills, in exchange for information about this land…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Hearing that those five pill bottles are actually healing pills from a mage, everyone's gaze turned heated once again. A healing pill from a mage is like a lifeline for the dying. They all knew the efficacy of a mage's pill, if they could have one, then they would be able to live longer and might even escape death.

This prospect made everyone's eyes glow with greed.

Suddenly, the old mage looks at Shin Jiao, and then with a deep voice, he shouted.

"Those who can capture the mage can have the pills!"

When everyone heard this, as if common sense went out of their heads and only the healing pills consumed their very greed.

A large number of people suddenly moved and attacked Shin Jiao's group with their weapons on hand.

Nariz Gumal, Im Ao, and Im Jae moved closer to Shin Jiao as they look at the crazed people coming towards them. Im Ao and Im Jae did not hesitate to take out their weapons and shield and activated their exoskeleton hidden under their robes.

When the exoskeleton frame was activated, the two immediately feel their body and movement became faster. And with the help of the helmet, they feel confident in their hearts.

"Go and practice…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Hearing his words, the two nodded their heads. The exoskeleton is hidden under their robe, but the helmet is too conspicuous and this made them look like robed immortals wearing virtual helmets while brandishing their swords and shield.

Meanwhile, Nariz Gumal did not leave Shin Jiao's side as she knew that she is powerless in this land.

Shin Jiao on the other hand willed three small daggers to float around him, and those who attempt to move closer or grab the vials on the ground would meet their end in an instant.

Soon the whole road began to be bathed in blood as Im Ao and Im Jae began to rampage through the group of thugs in front of them.

One dead body after another falls and bathe the ground with their crimson blood.

Horror immediately covered the expression of Hai Ba Long as he saw his men falling like flies in the hands of a young boy, a young maiden, and the small floating knives.

Meanwhile, the made old man on his side took a few steps back as he too showed horror in his expression. How could he know that these people are this powerful? But he could not waste this chance to gain something.

Although they look powerful, yet he himself is a mage.

And so with a wave of his staff, he began to chant and a fireball suddenly appears in front of him. Then his eyes suddenly glowed and the fireball which is the size of a basketball flew directly towards Shin Jiao.

Upon seeing this, the old man showed a satisfied look on his face and a hint of contempt could be seen in his eyes.

"Still too young to fight against me…" he muttered with confidence.
