The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1389

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 139

…

Xin Ja could see the changes in his surroundings and noticed that he is actually in another place. He did not know where he landed this time but it is not the same location where he disappeared last time.

The darkness around him is a bit claustrophobic and the smell of the moss and the algae shows that he is actually inside a cave.

It did not take long before his vision adjusted and could not see in the darkness.

He was a bit startled though and dare not make a move because right now, he could see a long green tail before him.

Xin Ja carefully tilted his head and suddenly noticed that not too far from where he is standing lay a giant lizard. From the size of that thing, he could deduce that it might be about 20 to 30 meters long.

It has a bony protrusion on its back and its breathing is smooth making it sound like natural air inside the cave.

But what attracted Xin Ja at this time is a large amount of crystal inside the cave.

From those crystals, he could feel pure Ki emanating from them.

"This is a Ki stone mine…" he thought as his eyes looks at the crystals behind the giant lizard.

But he did not have time to do anything for now. His goal is to go out of this place and come back at a later time after he gets his bearing of the area.

As he walks to the side he noticed that the long tail of the creature that is sleeping inside the cave suddenly jerked and it made him stop walking further.

"Are you kidding me?" Xin Ja could not help but scold his mind as he slowly turned toward the sleeping creature.

He suddenly notices its head slowly moving and in a blink of an eye, the creature opened its eyes.

The creature seems to be looking at space but was confused as to why it could not find what it is looking for in that place.

It then turns to the left and then to the right but still could not find its target.

It hissed and moved its head to look higher but still could not find anything.

It could have sworn that it felt a presence while it was sleeping. But when it looks at its surroundings, it did not find any presence.

It started licking the air to find if there is an intruder and that was the time when it suddenly froze on the spot.

It could clearly detect that another figure is in the air beside itself. It wanted to move as quickly as it could but suddenly it felt something passing through its neck. It was already too late as it felt its consciousness and strength fading at that instant.

Xin Ja stood calmly below the shaking body of the snake while the reek of blood covered the whole cave.

At this time, he could not help but sigh as the first thing he did upon arriving on the other side would be to kill a demonized beast.

Xin Ja could tell that the beast's carcass would be of great help to Xuanlong and the little phoenix. So he quickly sent the two out of the black orb in his ring.

As the two arrive inside the cave, they both showed curious expressions as they look around them.

When Xuanlong saw the large corpse of the snake and the rich Ki from its body, she could not help but salivate while looking at the corpse.

"Little bird, let's cook this thing…" Xin Ja said as he prepares his cauldron and put it on the ground.

The giant snake's corpse is not that easy to cook because it is not a normal beast.

And so with a little effort, a delicious smell wafted in the air as a large portion of barbecued meat could be seen being cooked atop the cauldron.

The three had a nice dinner and since there is still plenty of meat left, Xin Ja sent it to the black orb for the two to eat later.

The Xin Ja absorbed the Ki from the beast while Xuanlong and the little phoenix went out of the cave.

Suddenly, Xin Ja was surprised when the two enters the cave while shivering. He could see traces of snowflakes on Xuanlong's head and body.

"Is there snow outside?" he asked with confusion.

He did not expect that he would be discovering this kind of situation.

How could he be in a snowy place?

After finishing the Ki in the air, Xin Wei could feel his cultivation once again increasing a bit.

"This place is truly a cultivation holy land…" he muttered with a smile.

He let the two enter his ring as he walks out of the cave.

Since the cave is deep, Xin Ja did not notice the snowy weather outside. So when he walked out, he was stunned to see that outside the cave is truly a world bathed in white.

"This is a snowy mountain…" he muttered while looking at the white world around him.

His vision is not that great as it seems that there is a blizzard happening right now around him.

Xin Ja just shakes his head and then decided to stay inside the cave for a while. He has a lot of things to do inside that cave. Plus the number of treasures that the snake has gathered and the natural crystals and ores inside the cave are enough to keep him busy for a while.

Xin Ja then began gathering the crystals and the ore around him along with the treasure that the snake has dumped on the side.

From the looks of it, there are also demons awakened in this snowy land.

He then began to craft a few pieces of armor and gear that he knew would be of use in this kind of weather.

The first one he needed is a mount that is impervious to weather. The second is a way to mask his human figure. He could tell that the demonized beasts in these parts are hostile to humans.

Not long later, a mid-sized mecha takes form along with a mechanical bipedal creation that looks like a robotic bird.

After creating the gear, Xin Ja showed a calm expression as he smiled. He could remember seeing such a creation in one of the archives in his mind.

The mecha is just in case he would be facing a stronger opponent, while the mount would be his means of traveling in the snowy land outside.

The mount looks almost exactly like the ones in the archives but he made a few modifications.

After he finished creating things inside the cave, a week have already passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time Xin Ja has decided to go out of the cave as he could not take anything inside of it anymore after taking everything and putting them in his ring and inside the black orb.

Right now, the inner part of the cave has already increased to about 500 meters because of the removal of the crystals and ore resources from inside it.

Xin Ja spent days mining the resources in that cave, and only 3 days in creating the gears.

As he walked out of the cave, he looks at the sky and was suddenly stunned when he noticed a few shadows walking toward the cave.

These shadows are not walking but instead running while behind them is a huge beast at about 4 meters in height. The creature looks like a giant monkey with white fur and he could vaguely see two sharp protruding weapons from its elbows.

As Xin Ja observed the situation he could not help but frown as he could tell that the creature is actually playing with those people.

The people it is chasing are wearing thick clothes and gear for trekking the snowy land. But he could also tell that these people are not normal people.

When the distance got closer, he could now clearly see what the creature that appears to be a monkey looks like.

The appearance is a bit weird as it actually looks like a human but with a crooked nose and two long tusks protruding from its jaw.

Its long jaw made it appear a bit ugly along with the sinister gaze it is giving the humans before its face.

"Run! Young miss… you must escape! Please don't let our sacrifice be in vain!" a tall man in a thick cloak shouted as he suddenly stopped running.

He turns around and Xin Ja could see the Ki surrounding his body.

The man looks a bit heroic at this time as the snow around him melts as his Ki aura seems to burn hotter. Then without hesitation, his figure darted towards the ugly beast that is playing with their lives.

When he was about to reach the beast, he takes out his weapons and several gunshots echoed in the air.

The others dare not look back as they have seen such a heroic act and have already accepted the fact that no matter how hard they try, they would still die in the end.

And so, the group runs straight without turning back at the sacrifice of their comrade.
