The Geared Immortal

Chapter 818 - Deception

Chapter 818

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao's group went out of the village and rented 2 large carriages his goal was to save those two young men which seemed to hold some power within the Long clan. Having a good connection would be beneficial for Ji village to grow. And the Long clan territory is another good place to create another base for him.

This is because the Long clan territory has more of an Asian touch in its ways and culture. So he decided to make use of those two young men if his conjecture is correct. But if it is not then it would just be their luck to be saved by him.

Shin Jiao and his group rode on the first carriage and the five follow behind them. Everyone was silent and did not say anything for a long time inside the second carriage.

But Vilma Song could not take the silence anymore and suddenly said.

"What is our next plan?" she asked while looking at the rest of the people inside the carriage.

The carriage is a little cramp but they did not have any choice. They did not want to be sold as a slave or be used as lab rats, so being helped by their enemy which seems to hold no grudge against them, is fine.

"What do you mean plan? We are helpless right now. We could not even defend ourselves against those so-called warriors, what can we do against a mage?" Xiamen Gong scolded upon hearing that this woman is creating a scheme in her mind.

Although they were immortals outside the Xinglo Kingdom, yet inside here they are all mortals. They could not move recklessly or else they would surely die.

Everyone turned quiet at this time and did not say anything.

After an hour of traveling, the carriages suddenly stopped and the group got off beside a river.

"Everyone should rest here for a while…" Shin Jiao said as he takes out tents inside his dimension.

His action made the group of Xiamen Gong astounded. How could they not know about spatial tools? Suddenly the eyes of Hua Xiao sparkled as an idea came to her mind. She took a step forward and walked near Shin Jiao.

"Ummm… Master… Master Shin… It seems that you can still use your dimensional tool. Would it be possible for you to help me take out some of my stuff inside my ring?" she asked feeling a bit afraid and embarrassed.

The group has already known that the man who looks like in his late 30's or early 40's is actually Shin Jiao, the person whom they were hunting back then. Although she is now afraid she still gritted her teeth to ask for his help.

Shin Jiao just gave her a glance and heaves a deep sigh. In truth, he did not want to bother but the tattered clothing of the group is a little bit bothersome in his eyes. So since she came forward, he did not reject her and extended his hand.

"Give me your hand," he said.

Although a bit hesitant, Hua Xiao followed his words and put her hand on his palm.

She suddenly feels strange energy coursing through her hand.

"Use your spatial tool now…" Shin Jiao said.

Hua Xiao did not hesitate and quickly takes out some weapons and clothing inside her ring. After that, she distributed the weapons to the three men who have lost theirs in the fruitless struggle of the forest at that time. And the two sets of robes she gave one to Vilma Song as she wore one.

While resting, from the bushes a distance away, few figures cautiously appear.

From the treetop, a small child is lying on a tree branch while leisurely eating the fruit in his hand.

"You should not take a step forward if you guys still wanted to live…" Im Ao said while taking another bite of the juicy fruit in his hand while leaning on the tree and looking at the people below him.

His words startled the group as they did not expect that they would be exposed early. They are planning to do a sneak attack on the group, but it was all in vain now.

"Kill that kid!" Ling Hunxin who is leading the group of mages and warriors said while pointing at the top of the tree where Im Ao is leaning.

"Hihi… This older sister is very ruthless, I am but a small child, how could you kill me?" he said with his adorable voice and chuckle.

Without a word, the mages and the warriors immediately launch their attack towards Im Ao.

They did not use fire spells as it would cause too much noise, so only ice spikes and wind blades were thrown to Im Ao's direction while the warriors use their bow and arrows.

Im Ao sneered and suddenly jumps down from the tree branch he was on. It only took a second before that tree branch was turned into fragments. The little boy has already escaped, but everyone was stunned when they soon discover that instead of running away, the little boy actually charges towards them.

Before the warriors could react, Im Ao has already taken down three of them in one go. The small sword in his hand is now tainted with crimson blood, and then the boy flicked it to the ground and made the blade clean again.

Everyone took a step back upon seeing the boy's fighting skill. They did not expect that an 8 or 9-year-old boy could kill an adult just like that.

"Kill him! Kill him now!" shouted Ling Hunxin as she feels uncomfortable at this time.

Instead of ambushing their enemy, it seems that they are the ones who fell into an ambush.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before her people could move, they heard a couple of gunshots from another treetop and with that three mages on her side suddenly fell to the ground with blood flowing out of their bodies.

Argghhh!!!

One of them was not dead yet as it seems that he was able to cast a basic shield on his body. But the wound is located on his stomach and would be fatal if not treated immediately.

Nariz Gumal who is standing on a tree branch frowns as she was unable to kill one of her targets. She was not contented with her result and deemed it as a failure. She is a millennium-old immortal, how could she accept such a failure? But she also knew that she has a lot of things to learn in this new world and accepted that not everything would be according to her desire for now.

Now everyone was on guard and in panic as they turn their gazes everywhere. Although they heard the sound the ricocheting sound was everywhere around them making them unable to pinpoint their opponent.

Suddenly one of the mages standing in the middle of the group raised her head.

"We have three enemies surrounding us, the little boy at the east and two women in the direction of west and south."

Upon hearing this, the people around Ling Hunxing immediately shifted their gazes to the direction that the mage pointed.

"Barrier!" shouted Lin Hunxin.

Five mages immediately erected a strong barrier protecting their group while the rest helped those that are only wounded and is still able to be saved.

From the bushes, Shin Jiao walks out and appears in front of the Ling Hunxin group.

"You have followed us to die in this place… You can't blame us for killing all of you, right?" Shin Jiao said while looking directly at Ling Hunxin.

She knew that their plan was exposed, so she immediately cast the spell that would turn the five into mindless puppets and attack that man.

But to her surprise, she could feel the spell activating, but she could not feel her control over any living creature. It was like those slave collars are not worn by those slaves anymore.

Upon thinking up to this point, she knew that their plan has a flaw. They did not expect that the man was actually able to remove those collars which only slave traders could remove.

But then, before she could say anything she suddenly feels a deep suction in her mana as a large amount seem to have been extracted from her and seeped into the ground.

"Arrgghh!!!" she shouted as she felt pain all over her body.

Though the group has traveled for an hour, they actually did not leave the village of Jixinyo that far.

In the village, inside the dungeon of the slave trader shop, a strong light glowed in an instant.

This phenomenon totally surprised everyone who has seen this event.

Then as the guards recover their senses, they suddenly saw all of the cages inside the dungeon empty.

Every slave inside the dungeon is now gone.

Then in the carriage where Shin Jiao put the slave collars on the ground in a formation, a light appears and around a hundred slaves suddenly appear with confusion in their eyes.
