The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1307

…

Xin Ja did not know who that woman is, but he could sense the tinge of killing intent on the first day. It was slight but he could actually feel it.

He is not that stupid to stay in that place with the woman. He still needed to improve his strength and he could not let himself fall into the hands of those strong beings.

Upon thinking to this point, Xin Ja knew that he has to start focusing on crafting more gears so that he would not be defeated by the strong awakened from this world. He has to fully utilize his advantages so that he could preserve his life.

As he clenches his fists, he could not help but recall his goals and why he came to this place.

"To become strong, stronger than anyone… so that he could help and save Rou Chenchen…"

Although he knew that for now, she is safe in the hands of the alchemist union, he did not want to rely on those guys as people have the tendency to change their minds in front of benefits.

As the figure of Xin Ja continues running he soon arrives at a cluster of trees that glittered in green as the rays of the sun hit them.

"Hmm… What kind of trees are those?" he muttered as he looks at the trees with curious eyes.

Suddenly from the corner, he noticed that tree trunk moving.

When Xin Ja saw this, his eyes lit up, and quickly dodge to the side.

Bam!

A large serpent's head crashes on the place where he was standing.

Xin Ja was quickly covered in beads of sweat as he took a few steps back while looking at the gargantuan dark green snake in front of him.

The three horns on its head made his spine tingle as fear crept into his heart.

"What a large creature…" he muttered.

Hisss!!!

The snake opened its large mouth and hissed loudly which sounded like a loud whistle that quickly disoriented Xin Ja with just its sound wave strike.

Xin Ja staggered for a bit while holding his head.

"Shit! This bastard is a late-stage D-rank beast…" he grumbled while holding his ears in pain.

The two of them might be in the same realm, but this beast is higher than him in strength by half a level.

And that half a level is enough of an advantage as beasts are literally stronger than man.

The gargantuan snake did not hesitate as its head quickly dashed and attacked Xin Ja.

Bam!

Boom!

Bang!

The two began to be embroiled in a life and death fight as the snake has already blocked Xin Ja's escape route.

Xin Ja did not have a choice but to take out his Magnum Revolver and uses it to shoot the giant snake. However, not all of his bullets have an effect on his enemy.

Wham!!!

Suddenly, while reloading, a whip of the snake's long tail caught him off-guard.

He did not have a choice but to use both of his arms to bock the long tail and sent him flying to the snake's belly.

Crack!!!

Puh!

Xin Ja could not help but feel his bones creaking with that strong hit and he spat a mouthful of blood.

His mind was whirling as his consciousness almost faded.

The snake did not hesitate to suddenly wrap its huge body around Xin Ja. His small body is like a twig under the strong pressure of the huge body of the snake.

"Arrgghh!!!" Xin Ja cried in pain as he could feel his bones slowly breaking into pieces.

He quickly takes out his black short sword and did not hesitate to stab through the thick scales of his enemy.

Clang!

The sound of the sword unable to penetrate the scale of his enemy sounded.

The snake showed a curious gaze at its struggling prey.

It seems to be laughing at the effort that its prey is trying to do and it knows that no matter what its prey does it would all be futile.

But Xin Ja did not give up, he held the blade in both hands and then with all his might focused his Ki on it.

As the blue glow appears on its surface, he did not hesitate to quickly stab it on the snake's scale.

Kacha!!! Puchi!!!

The blade was able to break through the thick scales and penetrated the skin underneath.

Hisss!!!

The snake's body suddenly quivered as it felt pain, but it did not let go of its prey.

Crack!

Xin Ja could feel his legs breaking at this point and knew that if he did not escape his predicament his leg and hip bone will shatter into pieces.

He extended his right hand and then looks at the revolver which was thrown to the ground when he was attacked by the snake's tail.

The revolver suddenly moved and flew straight to his hand.

When the snake saw this, it quickly charges with its open huge maw wanting to devour its prey in one go.

If Xin Ja would be hit by its attack, he could surely be separated into two as his body would end up inside the snake's stomach.

But he did not panic… he calmed himself down and then looks at the gargantuan serpent's eyes.

"Checkmate! Array activate!" he suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, a series of black energy chains appear out of thin air and bound the gargantuan snake.

It felt shocked and was not able to move, it could only look at its prey in horror as it saw the hole in the barrel of the gun.

Bang!!! Bang!!!

Two silver flashes appear and two bullets fly out from the barrel directly hitting the giant snake's eyes.

The first shot did not penetrate the eyelid covering its left eye, but the second shot destroyed its tough scale and exploded inside its head.

The gargantuan snake's eyes went wide as it slowly turned lifeless and then dull. Then its head slumped to the ground with a loud thud.

Xin Ja could feel its grip loosening as he quickly pushes himself up.

He fell to the ground while grimacing in pain.

As he lies on the ground, he quickly produces a pill.

"I never would have thought that I would use this pill here…" he muttered as he takes two bone mending pills.

30 minutes later…

The figure of Xin Ja slowly stood up but is still staggering. He looks at the large body of the serpent which is almost like a two-story house.

As he extended his hand he could not feel any Ki coming out of its body.

"Ah… This is not a demon… but how come it has an aura of demons…" he muttered as he staggered to walk towards its lifeless head.

He could still feel the spasm of its huge body as he climb up its head.

Using the black short sword, he extracted a core the size of a football.

When his hand touches the core, he could immediately feel the vast amount of Ki energy inside of it.

"Hmm… I guess it ate some demons and then developed its core from the energy it absorbed from them…" he muttered while looking at the pulsating energy Ki inside the core.

It was as if the core is alive and something is inside of it.

Xin Ja did not absorb the core but put it inside his ring and then absorbed the huge serpent body in the black orb.

Inside the black orb, he could feel the faint presence of Xuanlong who suddenly looks up when she felt his presence looking inside the orb.

When she saw the large body of the snake entering the black orb, she could not help but feel her saliva dripping down her wide mouth.

"You can eat this as your nourishment so that you can recover fast…" Xin Ja said with a smile as his consciousness leave the black orb.

His eyes darted towards the direction of the snake's den as he decides to go there.

As soon as he steps inside the cave, he was assaulted by the pungent smell of rotten corpses.

He knew that deep inside the lair of that gargantuan beast are the many corpses of its victims.

As he walks deeper inside, he encounters many small bugs which he killed.

As soon as Xin Ja arrives in the cavern where the main lair of the gargantuan snake is, he quickly feels a large amount of dark energy.

With that feeling, he knew that there are demon corpses inside of this place.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to walk inside the wide cavern and then located the mound of corpses on the side.

He could tell that those demons are freshly killed by the gargantuan snake and were put to the side.

Those demons look like silver-furred giant trolls. They have long necks, ugly faces, long limbs, and have a single horn on their forehead.

Seeing that there are around 30 of them made Xin Ja want to celebrate his luck.

"Sigh… This is the rule of nature… Those that are strong will surely live and get the treasure while those that are weak could only cry or die… Hehe…" Xin Ja muttered as he could clearly feel that such a rule applies in this dark forest.
