The Geared Immortal

The city guardian part 2

/*unedited*/

The two people whispering and looking at him made Moon Fang felt a bit awkward. But as a city lord of Glow city, he is already used to this kind of situation. So he donned in a gentle smile on his face and nods his head.

"Welcome to our camp… We saw the two of you fighting with that creature. Are you planning to cooperate with us?" Moon Fang asked.

The other leaders in the group also turned their gaze towards the two.

When Shin Jiao looks around, he can see that the people have the same aura of cultivation in this place. This means that these people here are the leaders of the cities or towns near this place.

"These are the leaders and the city Lords of some cities near here." Moon Fang introduces.

"When they saw the dust of clouds we knew that there is something wrong and so we came here."

"This ruined city is an impassable place. That's why it acts like a barrier to the far north."

"Plus this gorge stretches for thousands of kilometers."

"If we can kill that beast, then maybe we can pass through this passage. That would be of great help to us then."

The people suddenly began to explain things to Shin Jiao and Agnes, and then suddenly devised a plan to kill the gigantic plant creature.

"That is the city guardian of the ancient people who worships plants." An old man suddenly interrupted.

"It is indestructible… in those days many have tried to attack the city just to get the chance to conquer the passage. But when the city was about to be destroyed that huge plant suddenly engulfs the city and turned it into ruins. From then on became known as the guardian of the ruined city. "

"I think that thing is the blood of all those people who worshipped the plant as their god… so if we fight that it means that we are fighting against a god." The old man added.

The rest of the people became silent as only the unending explosions can only be heard from outside.

"Then what do you propose to do, elder?" Moon Fang asked.

"Sigh… this is hopeless. Unless we can find the heart or the core of that thing, then this would become an unending battle."

When they heard the words of the elder who looks like someone who belongs to a half man half dragon kind, they felt a bit of reluctance. However, this person is someone who had lived for many years. So they respected his words.

"Well, I think I know where the heart or the core of that thing is." suddenly Shin Jiao said.

When everyone heard his words, they immediately turned towards him.

They didn't dare underestimate this young man and the woman beside him. As they already saw what they can do.

Shin Jiao suddenly takes out a portable 3D projector.

Then a projection of the plant giant was displayed in 3D in front of the people. When they saw this everyone gasped in disbelief. Even the elder with draconian blood had his eyes wide open.

Then Shin Jiao began explaining his plan.

Not long later, a team of thirty people began walking out of the tent towards the plant creature.

"Look! That is our entrance." Shin Jiao suddenly shouted while pointing at a large trunk-like part of the plant creature.

When they turned towards the direction which Shin Jiao pointed they saw a large hole on it.

Without a second word, everyone immediately takes out their artifacts and began rushing towards that hole.

"Have you already recovered your energy?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked.

"Umm… Yeah… but… it's not enough. The thing you gave is not enough to recover my full energy."

Upon hearing her answer, Shin Jiao immediately rolled his eyes. But he has already expected this. As a powerful Elemental Lord, Agnes has a large amount of mana pool. Hence she also needed more natural energy to absorb.

"When you drink potions, how many potions do you need to fill your mana pool?"

Hearing his question, she lifted five fingers.

This almost made Shin Jiao staggered in disbelief. Five mana potions is already a great amount. It is known that mages would consume just a bit of potion when traveling. And a single potion bottle would be used at least three to five times before being empty.

Shaking his head, Shin Jiao felt helpless. If they don't need her power then he would just let her go back to the camp and wait. However, she has the strongest power in all of them, so he took out another unique core.

"Here, after this hopefully you can at least have half of your power," he said as he parted with that unique core reluctantly.

Right now, he felt a pang of regret upon unleashing the bomb in the city which obliterated the golems. If not, then he could have harvested more. But of course, that is with the condition that he should be alive to enjoy those things.

When they entered the hole, the rest of the people have already moved inside. Shin Jiao has already given them a map of the thing, so he is not worried if they would get lost. Plus all they have to do is go up.

Since the giant plant creature is fighting outside, the shaking is non-stop and falling of much debris is constant. But soon Shin Jiao discovered something.

Like a normal body with many anti-bodies, this thing also has many antibodies. Not long later, Shin Jiao can see an army of spider-like creatures the size of a dog. And these things can move really fast.

"Get ready to fight! We have incoming enemies." Shin Jiao warned.

However, Agnes showed a nonchalant expression. She just waved her hand and a sword made of fire appears. She then suddenly rushed in front of Shin Jiao and began chopping those spider-like creatures.

Shin Jiao followed suit as they slowly travel down the path going up step-by-step.

After a while, they suddenly reached a large hall and also saw the rest of the people with them.

"City Lord Fang, how was it?" Shin Jiao asked.

"We've been here for some time now, but there is no reaction. We tried attacking that thing in the middle but it seems that it is protected by something."

When Shin Jiao heard this, he suddenly scanned his surroundings and discovered the same array that was used in the ruined city.

He didn't hesitate and took out his handgun. Then he pointed the muzzle to a place and immediately pulled the trigger.

Peng!

Crack!

A loud ricochet followed by a cracking sound echoed through the hall.

"No! Not you again! I will kill you… I will kill you!" shouted a voice coming from the center of the hall.

"Azmodiaz, I never thought that you would still live after that blast. You truly are a demon." Shin Jiao scoffed.

"Haha… I was about to die at that time, but luckily the city guardian saved me and gave me a second life… a very powerful second life. Hihi… with this, I can rule over the whole continent. Every demon, beast, and human would be turned into my golem. Kikiki… Hihihi…" Azmodiaz laughed hysterically like a crazy woman.

"But that is just a pipe dream," suddenly the voice of Agnes said while she pointed the long rifle towards the center while charging the bullet.

Thick vines immediately covered the center of the hall where a cocoon-like object is in the middle.

When the people saw this they suddenly began releasing their weapons and attacked that place. But suddenly hordes of those spider-like creatures began pouring in the hall from every nook and corner.

"Damn it! Attack that thing!" shouted the Moon Fang as he suddenly transformed into a large wolf with silver and black fur.

His majestic figure caused those people around him to be amazed.

"This is the true form of the City Lord of Glow. No wonder they say that he is the most powerful wolfman."

"Yeah, look at that, he is like a wolf god."

The surrounding beast-men and cultivators who came in this infiltration mission muttered as they fight while admiring the scene.

Like a loose cannonball, Moon Fang began to attack the spider-like creature with a rampage.

Everywhere his figure goes, destruction is sure to follow.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently protecting Agnes as she channeled her power towards the bullets of the long rifle. In Shin Jiao's estimation, she can shot twice with her full power level charged bullet before the rifle would break.

The hall became chaotic as the people with them fought the almost endless number of spider-like creatures.

Even Moon Fang in his most powerful form began to show signs of wounds all over his body dyeing his silver fur with his crimson blood. But this scene made him look more ferocious.

"Shin, it's done…" Agnes said weakly.

"Then fire! I've already sent out the target. Just pull the trigger!" Shin Jiao shouted.

But suddenly he saw Agnes slowly falling on the ground.

"This stupid woman! I told her that only 70%..." Shin Jiao shouted in his mind as he quickly rushed towards her position.

He can already see the glowing bullet inside the barrel. If she doesn't fire it, then it would explode killing the people inside this hall.

In her blurred vision, she saw the frantic look on Shin Jiao's face as he runs towards her. This made her feel warm in her heart.

Suddenly, as if remembering her role she forcefully lifted the seemingly heavy rifle on her hand. And with all her might, she forcefully tried to squeeze the trigger.

"Come on! Move!" she shouted within her mind.

Suddenly her body felt weak as she saw a protruding sharp object piercing her stomach.

She didn't know what happened next, but her vision was blinded by a bright light before she fainted.
