The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1188

(Unedited)

…

Almost a week has passed, in the misty forest…

A shadow is current jumping from one tree to another while observing the area around. Then suddenly he spotted a creature from afar and quickly controlled his emotion from deep within. As he controlled his emotion, heartbeat, and breathing, he began to blend with his surroundings.

This figure is Xin Ja, and right now, he is training his senses and his killing intent.

While hanging at the side of the thick bark of a tall tree, he slowly lifts the rifle in his hand and then pointed it towards the direction of the white fox that has fur floating on its body like a mist.

After setting the misty fox in his sight, a slight smile appears on his face.

"300 meters… This is a good distance to try the true range of this thing…" he muttered while he slowly focuses the sight.

"I guess, the training paid off… It still could not detect my presence until now…"

"But the problem is… how can I control the next part?…"

Then his finger slowly squeezes the trigger.

Puff!!!

The sound of the air busting from the rifle echoes in the silent forest.

A dart flew out of the muzzle of the rifle and it hit the hind legs of the misty fox without it knowing anything.

The success of the test and his training has truly paid off. Xin Ja can now erase his presence that even the most cautious creature in the misty forest could not detect him.

After catching the unconscious misty fox, he returns to the village with a contented smile.

"Hey… It's Young Master Xin!…" called one of the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Oh, you caught another misty fox? This is awesome… I never would have expected that someone could truly hunt them down…" the soldier added with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Xin Ja nodded his head as he walks inside the village.

He then set the misty forest inside the cage and gave it to a soldier. When the fox wakes up, he would still release it to the wild. He just takes it back so that it would not be eaten by any random creatures in the forest.

As Xin Ja return to his room, he could not help but heave a sigh.

While hunting in the forest, he could not help but think of his father, Yao Xue, and that little Dragon Xuanlong… He also missed his schoolmates and friends, especially his crush, Rou Chenchen.

But for now, he could not return yet as he did not want to bring trouble to them.

After getting inside his room, he took a bath and changes his clothes.

Before walking out, he double-checks his gears inside his ring and the black orb. After he feels contented, he walks out of his house.

Upon walking out, Yi Terai was the person who greeted him. She was pouting and has a complaining expression.

"Umm… I wanted to go with you…" she said with q coquettish expression.

Xin Ja could not help but shake his head. He knew that she just wanted to travel outside of the misty forest. But Xin Ja would not dare gamble on that. Unless he fixes the problem first, he would not be confident to assure her of her safety.

"Sigh… Big sister Rai… you know the situation, right? This is a very precarious situation we are in. And this place is your home… We cannot leave this place and let those guys plunder it. No way…"

Upon hearing his words, Yi Terai just pouted and stumps her foot like a spoiled little lady.

Xin Ja could not help but shake his head. He is the youngest person, right? How come this older sister acts coyly now? He could not help but shake his head.

"Bye… Big sister!" Xin Ja teases.

"You… Promise me that you will take me next time… okay?" she said while pouting.

"Alright, don't worry… I promise to take you next time…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

As he left the village, Yi Terai's expression turned sad. Her eyes began to moisten as she watches his small figure but seemingly broad back.

"You fool… Come back to me, okay?" she muttered while biting her lower lip.

…

Xin Ja has reached the edge of the forest and the beguiling formation is still active. He did not want to deactivate it using the main control, so he would just use his own knowledge in arrays to try and bypass the beguiling formation array.

Xin Ja began to concentrate and then closes his eyes. With full concentration, the darkness when closing his eyes slowly disappears. About 2 meters away from him, he could clearly see the things around him.

This is the effect of the Absolute Sense.

Without hesitation, he began taking one step at a time until his figure enters the formation barrier. He soon could tell that something is disrupting his sense, but with his absolute sense active, he could clearly see the right path even with his eyes closed.

Xin Ja did not want to waste his time in this formation as his concentration is limited and it would take a large toll on his mind.

Without hesitation, his figure dashes through the Beguiling formation barrier until he reached the edge of the misty forest.

Xin Ja could not help but shake his head after getting out. It truly causes him headaches to use that skill which reason, he did not know why.

But it proves very effective in these kinds of situations.

Xin Ja immediately checked his surroundings and he is now in an area where there are tall grasses around him. Without hesitation, he quickly takes out his motorcycle.

Xin Ja hops on the motorcycle and turns on the mechanism.

Before he could squeeze the throttle of the motorcycle, he suddenly heard some hissing sound in the tall grasses.

When Xin Ja heard this, his expression immediately drops.

"Damn it! Am I that unlucky?" he could not help but scowl at himself.

Suddenly, from the grasses, a large head the size of a basic appear. With green emerald glowing eyes, and red scales with dark patterns on its head. The giant snake truly imposing as it slowly lifted its head from the tall grasses.

Xin Ja could not help but want to curse out loud.

Sensing that its prey is about to do something, the tall head of the snake suddenly curved backward.

Then it rushes to attack the figure sitting on the metal object. But then suddenly, the figure dashes forward really fast that it startled the giant snake.

But how could it let its prey escape from its grasp?

So without hesitation, the giant creature chases after its prey. Then suddenly the snake that's as long as 15 meters nimbly slithers through the grassy ground. Its large head lifted high up in the air then strike at the rapidly running motorcycle.

Boom!!!

The ground shattered as the large head missed its target.

Then it quickly resumes chasing after the figure.

It was really angry that it actually missed its target while chasing after Xin Ja the giant snake shakes its head as if trying to recover from the grogginess it experienced when it missed its first attack.

The snake actually came from another place. It was chased from its territory by some people and it quickly fled. It knew that some people are powerful and it is not their match. So it slighter its way through the grassy land as it tries to escape from the people chasing after it.

But then along the way, it became hungry... and decided to stay within the grassy land area to look for prey.

It's been a while since it came to the grassy area and noticed the strange mist within the trees. It dare not enter the misty area as it could sense a deeper danger within it.

So it decided to wait…

And soon its wait actually paid off, it saw a small man walking in its direction.

The giant snake hid carefully and waited patiently.

Soon, it saw the small man walk out of the misty area and it became happy. At last, it could not eat something.

But then suddenly its prey has the audacity to escape.

So how could it maintain its calm?

It began chasing after the figure that suddenly got on a fast-moving object which made the giant snake more annoyed.

It did not want to give up, to once again, it forces its body to suddenly coil and jump high up in the air.

Then as if hitting a wall in the air, its body suddenly turned into an arrow darting at its prey.

Boom!!! Crash!!!

It once again missed, but it could tell from the corner of its eye that its prey was sent flying by its attack. With excitement in its eyes, it quickly lifted its body high up from the ground and began scanning its surroundings.

The giant snake was startled that it actually did not see anything.

Hiss!!!

The giant snake could only hiss angrily as it spits in the area as if by chance it could hit its target with its acidic spit.

Unknown to it, just above its head… the small figure of Xin Ja could be seen, with a big smile on his face.
