The Geared Immortal

Chapter 930

(Unedited)

…

Swoosh!!!

Bam!!!

A large metallic figure landed on the ground filled with miasma. Its landing caused a large area to be cleared temporarily by the impact force that drove the miasma away. The figure looks like a huge metal armored soldier.

The mech that Shin Jiao uses is one of the old models that he created when he was in the immortal land. After exchanging the engine of the mech he is able to now use it in this place.

The stone golem looks at the mech and suddenly growled in anger.

The huge stone golem dwarves the mech in size. Although the mech is only around 10 to 12 meters in height so it is far smaller than the stone golem. The golem angrily attacks by sending its huge stone hands crashing towards the mech.

Shin Jiao inside the pilot seat immediately did an evasion maneuver as the mech's side thrusters erupted and pushed the mech's body to the left.

Then it extended its left arm while a glowing 3 meters compressed mana energy blade appears in its hand.

The mech twisted its waist and then with a reverse twist, it swung the mana energy blade cutting the arm of the golem.

Thud!

Its huge am fell to the ground with a loud thud.

But the golem did not give up and swung its other arms to counter the attack from the mech. But Shin Jiao controlled the mech to rush behind the golem.

He began attacking the back of the golem, but it seems that the mana energy blade is not powerful enough to tear apart its thick body.

Molten stones were spread on the ground which looks like the glowing yellow blood of the stone golem.

Suddenly, the stone golem growled in the air.

"Hmm… Is it calling for a backup?" Shin Jiao thought but did not mind it.

The more enemy he could encounter the better he could test the capability of the mech in an actual fight. With this, he can calculate how long the mana engine could last in a battle.

And true to his conjecture, the ground began to shake, and he could see small mountains slowly standing up from the surroundings. But what made Shin Jiao feel a bit helpless is that the tallest of these stone golems is at least more than 30 meters.

"So this is the reason why they said that the Demon Gorge is one of the most dangerous places in the inner kingdom…"

Shin Jiao got the information that the two places, the Demon Gorge and Heavenly Valley are the two forests in the Xinglo kingdom that is located in the inner kingdom. The rest of the large forests are in the outer world.

Shin Jiao immediately did not hesitate to grab the rifle on the side of the mech.

He quickly rushed to the stone golem with one of its arms already cut-off and quickly blasted its head apart in one shot.

He did not hesitate as he picks another target.

But how could these golems let him approach them?

As the mech got closer, he suddenly saw multiple boulders being tossed in his direction.

The raining boulders made Shin Jiao feel a bit flustered, but it is also a chance to test the maneuverability of the mech.

And so he quickly flew in the air pushing the boosters to their maximum power.

Shin Jiao feels that the mech's maneuverability is around 30% of his speed, which is already good enough in this situation.

He adeptly dodges the hundreds of boulders thrown at him while shooting those that he could not. The whole area became a mess as everything around him turned into ruins. The trees, rocks, and land were destroyed by the battle.

This large-scale battle has already alerted some of the powers deep within the Demon Gorge and many of their scouts have already been sent to go in this place.

One of those scouts belongs to a race that looks like elves but with pale blue skin. Their tall and thin figure made them look elegant and has that mysterious aura around them.

Besides that those figures, there is another one that Shin Jiao could already detect even while fighting.

"A dark mage… A disciple of that Dark Grand Magus maybe?..." he thought.

But he did not have time to dwindle in this thought as the monster's attacks began to become fiercer.

Shin Jiao did a couple of maneuvers in the air and one by one shot down the stone golems by destroying their heads.

Without any scruple, Shin Jiao store the corpse of those golems inside his space. The reason why he did this is that he is curious about how those stone monsters work.

After the battle, the miasmas that were disturbed and have spread slowly converge once again to cover the battleground.

But right at this moment, Shin Jiao could hear a sobbing cry from the ground.

He jumps out of his mech and stores it in his dimension as he also controlled his ship to approach him as he stores it too in his dimension.

While floating in the air he could feel the poison in the miasma entering his body. But with his poison resistance, he was not affected by it.

As he landed on the ground, he saw an old woman sitting on the ground in a sorry manner. Her hair is disheveled and a long dark brown wooden cane is sitting beside her.

"Old woman… Are you okay?" Shin Jiao asked.

The old woman still sobs as she hits the ground.

"They are all gone… They are all gone… I have used my entire life to create them and now they are all gone!" she cries while she hits the ground like a kid.

Shin Jiao was a bit confused as he did not know what this old lady is talking about.

"Could I help you find them?" he asked.

"Huh?" she lifted her gaze and looks at Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao thought that the woman is an old lady because of her silver hair. However, when she lifted her face at him, he saw pale skin and pale blue eyes staring back at him. Her old clothes that look like that of an old witch have hidden her beauty.

If he compares this girl to others, then he could only say that she is almost as beautiful as Hua Xiao. But her clothing is really peculiar and weird.

"You help me find them? I just arrived at this place and everything was in ruins… Plus my golems are all gone. I just left to gather some herbs and now they have all disappeared? How can you help me find them then?" she said with a tone of sarcasm in her voice.

"Golems?" It turns out that this woman is the owner of those golems.

Shin Jiao did not want to cause any misunderstanding so he decided to not tell what happened to the woman yet.

"Yes… But before that, can I ask? Do you know any Gan Warbread living in this vast forest?" Shin Jiao asked trying his luck.

"Gan… Warbread? That damn old geezer who acts like he is the boss of us in this place? Yes, I know him… Why? Are you his crony?" the woman said in an annoyed tone while glaring at Shin Jiao.

"Ahh… Nope, I'm here to kill him." Shin Jiao said nonchalantly.

When the woman heard this, she did not show any reaction at all. Instead, he looks at Shin Jiao as if he is some kind of a fool.

The strange gaze of the woman made him feel uncomfortable.

"You're the 349th candidate that asked that question. However, none of those who ask this question ever returned to the outside world," she said as she slowly stood up.

"Why is that?"

"Because they now serve that madman… He has been terrorizing the people in the Demon Gorge. Luckily, there are a few Grand Magus in this place. If not… this whole gorge would be turned into his kingdom of brain-dead soldiers." She said while patting the dust on her thick dark old robe.

"You see, Gan Warbread is an expert in manipulating his opponent. For some reason, he is able to invade their mind or body, and those that have been invaded by him would now be under his control. That person would be at his beck and call… One example of this is the previous Orc Lord of the red-skinned ones. Their king fell under Gan Warbread's manipulating and has served him along with the red-skinned orcs. But they were defeated by the other races in the Demon Gorge…"

"Defeated? But then why is he still alive?" Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

"That is because he became not… human. The battle was too brutal at that time. The Demon Gorge is in deep turmoil. And many saw Gan Warbread being pierced by a spear. But instead of dying, the one who stabbed him suddenly began killing others of its kind."

Shin Jiao was a bit surprised upon hearing this.
