The Geared Immortal

Chapter 667

(Unedited)

…

The night was long, and many shadow creatures are attracted to a particular place. Shin Jiao has harvested a lot of energy cores using this kind of trap. And those five people outside who are used as bait have already fainted due to the pain of being devoured alive.

As beings with a nascent realm body, they are not easy to kill. Plus in this immortal land, everyone is immortal and will not die, that\'s why those five are still alive.

"The red blood was changed into this golden liquid which contained boundless power… However, I wonder why those beasts that are able to devour a large amount of flesh and blood would turn normal and disappear? Where did they go to?"

These many questions lingered in his mind as he observes the situation outside.

The next morning, Shin Jiao already has a bulging purse filled with the energy cores of those that died inside his courtyard. Shin Jiao also discovered that those beasts are afraid of the light because they would be burned when exposed to the light.

As he walks out of his house, he suddenly saw a magnificent scene. As the morning light envelops the body of those five who have their exposed parts badly mutilated last night, they actually slowly started to recover and form flesh and became whole once again.

"So, this is immortality?" Shin Jiao muttered with many questions still lingering inside his head.

He did not waste any time and just splashed those people with another liquid which melted the black sludge covering their bodies.

As they fell to the ground, the five woke up.

"If you return here again and cause trouble, I will let you five suffer the same torture, understand?"

With those words from Shin Jiao, the five suddenly showed fear upon remembering that unending horror last night. They dare not stay and anger this immortal as they scurry ran outside as if their lives are on the line.

However, after stepping outside the gate, the burly young man suddenly turned back and glared at Shin Jiao in hatred. He could not forgive such a disgrace and promised to inflict the same amount of pain that he has suffered to this arrogant alchemist.

"Just you wait! I will get my revenge!" the burly man shouted as he turns around to leave.

Shin Jiao shook his head and grinned.

"I guess he did not suffer enough…" he said as he suddenly took a few steps back and suddenly grab a long spear in his hand.

Then with a powerful throw lunges the spear which flew in the air and accurately impales the burly man right on the spot.

"Argghhh! Ahhh! Help! Help! Me!!!"

Everyone showed horrified looks on their faces. Although they are able to create spears made of rocks, they have not seen such exquisitely made spear made of pure rock that has the texture of carved marble.

Shin Jiao casually walks out of the small courtyard and walked to the burly young man.

"I dislike being threatened. My… my heart could not take it. It makes me nervous…" Shin Jiao said with a grin.

"I guess I have to keep you as my prisoner and torture you until your wicked ways are straightened." Shin Jiao said with a grin.

He then took out a small bottle in his hand and pours its content into the impaled body of the burly young man.

"Listen, everyone! I want this village to be in order and I want peace… Nobody disturbs me, and I won\'t disturb you. Those who offend me will suffer just like him…" Shin Jiao shouted towards the group of onlookers.

Everyone in the village heard his loud voice and many have already looked out and run towards the place where that voice comes from. Then they saw the burly man impaled by an exquisitely crafted spear and a black sludge slowly covering his body.

As usual, except for his eyes and stomach, everything is covered.

Everyone looks horrified at this scene and many have already left. They are afraid that the crazy guy would turn his attention towards them and they would be victimized by him instead.

Meanwhile, on one of the houses not too far away and overlooking this scene, a few men are gathered.

Each of them is looking outside the window and has heard what Shin Jiao said.

"That smells like trouble…" a tall and slim young man said with a faint smile on his handsome girly face.

"If Kevin Gart discovers that his brother is suffering like this, do you think he would cause the village big trouble?"

"I don\'t know… the relationship between them is a bit sour. I heard that from the place those two came from there are many that have reached the real nascent body and came to the immortal world. If that information is right, then we are in big trouble."

"So what should we do then? We can\'t offend that alchemist, and we also could not offend Kevin Gart, how should we proceed from here?"

"Sigh… I propose that we befriend the alchemist… Kevin Gart is just a clan servant. That alchemist\'s friend is also a clan servant now. Plus the clans will not move against us if we are just acquainted with that young guy."

"I agree…"

"I agree…"

The people inside that house come to a consensus and agreed with the decision to just have a partnership with the rare young alchemist.

That night, the people in the town, especially those living near the place where the bully is impaled, saw the gruesome scene of shadow beasts fighting against shadow beasts while those who won devours the flesh and golden blood of the village bully.

Many were trembling in fear and dare not to watch more.

But those who continue watching noticed a black figure darting out from somewhere and taking out something from those shadow beasts that died.

The next morning…

Shin Jiao decided to take the impaled bully and put him inside his house. Then he feeds the guy some food to prevent him from dying. This is because those who have died would materialize after 3 days in the center of the village square.

He didn\'t want this person to cause him more trouble, so he decided to maintain his life.

In fact, he just wanted to do more experiments. This way he could determine more about the current physique and how he could once again cultivate his strength.

And so the days gone by in a flash and a month have passed, according to the earthly calendar that Shin Jiao has been keeping.

Today he has already finished things that he needed to learn and has already improved his knowledge of this world.

He actually released the burly young man a few days ago and discover that the person seems to be afraid of him from then on.

Of course who would not be after experiencing much suffering in the hands of the crazy alchemist?

At this time, Shin Jiao has already decided to leave the village. He knows that if he stays in this place nothing will change in his life and nothing will improve. He has learned that today will be the day that the protectors would come back and send those who did not pass the trials of being chosen and were not permitted to be a servant to the clans.

He didn\'t want to stir up more trouble, so he wanted to go out and explore. He has already figured out the power source of that small light in the village. Plus he has the black sludge for protection. And most important of all, he has already crafted his gears.

…

Within the dark and gloomy forest area, there are many shadow creatures lingering within it. But Shin Jiao discovered something.

Within the forest, the shadow creatures are actually not dominant. Instead, there are also many normal beasts living in this large forest. In fact, after crossing a few distances away from the village, Shin Jiao discovers that the gloomy atmosphere suddenly changes.

It was like he has entered a new world, a… normal world.

The gloominess is gone and he could see many types of small insects and small creatures within. Plus he could now use his psychokinesis with just a little restraint. He could easily expand his power up to around 50 meters which is already good enough for him.

As he continues traveling, Shin Jiao suddenly noticed something.

He heard the sound of fighting and a loud roar of a beast. He quickly climbs up the tree nimbly. Unknown to him, his nimbleness is actually not normal for the immortals living in this world. It was something unique deep within his body.

And so, as he climbs up a tree, he saw a group of men and women fighting against a gigantic beast that looks like a large turtle with a long neck and long tail.

The movement of the turtle is really nimble and quick that it renders the humans surrounding it feel helpless as their attacks could not even wound it. Although their attacks look powerful, yet it could not even graze the shell of the turtle.

"Don\'t let this beast get away… or we would have another village get destroyed!" shouted a young man with bluish long hair and donning a set of silvery armor.

Shin Jiao was immediately interested in what kind of metal that armor is made of. He knew that if he could have his hand on that kind of metal he would be able to craft more powerful gears.

As he watches he grew more interested in this scene. This is because he could see those people using some kind of technique to harness the energy around them and uses it to attack. It was like Qi but more powerful.

From that power wave and ripple alone, he knew that if a city in the immortal land would be hit by that kind of blast, it would surely crumble to dust.

However, in this place, that kind of power is nothing.

Suddenly, an idea came to Shin Jiao, and began taking out materials inside his bag. He then began crafting pieces of hollowed arrowheads. After making ten of them, he took out a vial made of rocks and glass began making thumb-sized glass and injecting the black liquid from those vials inside.

After completing ten of them, Shin Jiao took out his self-made compound crossbow hid himself to wait.

While this is happening, inside the Pheasant village a troublesome matter has already arisen, and this trouble came with a name, Kevin Gart.
