The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1049

(Unedited)

…

Swoosh!!! Swoosh!!! Swoosh!!!

Seven figures came running through the forest with tattered and bloodied robes. In their hands are broken weapons and some of them are even carrying their unconscious companions.

"Tang Hao… What should we do? If we continue running like this, we would just expend our stamina and Ki and be buried inside the stomach of the beasts in this forest!..." Deng Xan cried out while running ahead of the group.

His long spear is already broken, and he is only holding the top part of the spear. There is a long gash on his chest and his robe is already drenched in blood.

"Damn it! I know that, but who would have expected that we would be attacked by a level 4 beast? If only our bags were not hit… We could have…" Tang Hao lamented but he could not do anything anymore about what has happened a while ago.

"Guys! Look there!" shouted Gao Anxi while pointing in the direction where there is a flickering light.

"There might be people in there that could help us…" Gong Han said while he shifted the position of the young woman in his arms.

The group quickly ran towards the direction of the light… but then suddenly they noticed that there is actually no one around the bonfire.

Instead, they were shocked to see several monsters that are around level 2 and level 3 surrounding the small camp.

"Shit… this is a tra…" before Tang Hao could complete his sentence he stopped as he could feel that he seem to have fallen into some kind of a quagmire.

His movement became slow, and he could feel that some kind of force is actually holding him down.

"This is a trap! Shit… We… we just feel for someone's trap!" shouted Fu Linxue.

As someone who is an apprentice to a runemaster, she knew that the group has just fallen into a rune array trap.

"Shit… who is the despicable bastard that lays this trap in here!" shouted Gong Han in anger as he tried to move faster.

But the more he struggles and heavier his body is. And the heavier his body is, the more he could not move.

Tang Hao suddenly lifted his hand to stop the group from complaining.

"Look! Those beasts… They… They are in the same situation as us. Someone seems to be attracting those beasts in this place and trapping them…" Tang Hao said after observing the area.

Roarrrr!

Suddenly the group was stunned to hear that powerful and loud sound. Then their expression immediately turned pale.

"Shit… it's the level 4 beast." Deng Xan shouted as he began to struggle forward.

But no matter what he tries to do, he is unable to move anymore.

Then suddenly, a 3-meters tall beast towers over the group as it suddenly jumps in the air and landed in the middle of the camp.

The light from the bonfire exposes the beast that looks like a combination of a wolf and a gorilla. Its body is that of a gorilla and its head and tail are that of a wolf.

A powerful aura of a level 4 beast is emanating from its huge body.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"We're dead! How… how could this happen? I'm… I'm still a virgin… I don't want to die!" suddenly Fu Linxue cried.

Everyone was suddenly stunned upon hearing this.

He Manao even blinked his eyes while looking at Fu Linxue with a slight blush on his handsome face.

Roar!!!

But their stupor did not last as they saw the beast slowly walking towards them. It noticed the other beasts in the area and coldly snorted at them.

"Hmm… It seems that I have attracted something really troublesome…" suddenly a youthful voice echoed in the air as a youth walks behind the level 4 beast.

The youth is wiping the blood from his sword which seems to looks like it's made of stone.

When the group saw this, they were all stunned and did not know what to do.

"Little brother! Run!" Gao Anxi suddenly shouted with a worried expression.

The youth looks a bit younger than them and at the same time a bit naïve. How could he just walk behind a level 4 beast? That would only provoke the creature and would surely kill him in one stroke.

Suddenly, Gao Anxi squinted her eyes towards the youth and showed a hint of bafflement in her eyes.

"This… That… that young lad. He… he is not even a level 1 Ki fighter…" she stuttered upon checking the aura on the youth's body.

She thought that the youth might be a hidden expert. However, she could not detect any aura fluctuation around him.

"No… That's impossible. How could he survive in here, if he is not even level 1… He might be an expert and we cannot even see his Ki level… He might even be a Shen already…" Tang Hao said with a hint of realization in his eyes.

Everyone suddenly nodded their heads upon realizing this.

Meanwhile, the youth who is Xin Ja is feeling a bit conflicted. He did not expect that he would be attracting a level 4 beast. And this would surely spoil his plan.

He has already set up an intricate formation around this area, to trap those beasts that would be attracted. Then he would control the array formation to train himself in combating the trapped beasts one by one.

That way he could assess his level.

So far, he had already killed several 2nd level beasts, and just a while ago a 3rd level beast that looks like a huge wild boar. It took him a while to kill that beast and even got wounded from the battle. But he was finally able to kill it.

But as soon as he emerges from the formation, he saw the large level 4 beast.

"Hmm… I would want to fight you right now… But it seems that I don't have time to do so…" Xin Ja said as he has already noticed a few people in the area.

With a flick of his finger, something suddenly happened in the surroundings.

Weng!

The ground began to shake as the trees seem to be coming alive.

The level 4 beast began to panic as it pounces towards the human whom it considered as a threat.

Growl!!!

It roared as it brandished its large fists towards Xin Ja.

"Damn it! My strength is not enough to hold it back!" Xin Ja thought as he could feel the rune array in the surrounding seem to be breaking.

The consumption of the chaotic Ki in the air is too much that it's making Xin Ja's head feel a bit of an ache.

But he gritted his teeth and glared at the level 4 beast. He lifted his hand in the air and closes it.

With this action, the ground suddenly burst open and a dome was formed. Xin Ja and the level 4 beast were immediately isolated in the middle of the camp.

Bam!

The huge fist of the level 4 beast strike Xin Ja but its huge fist was blocked by a thick tree trunk. However, the impact still sent Xin Ja flying to the wall of the dome.

Puhee!

Xin Ja spurted a mouthful of blood upon impact. He could feel his bones cracking and his shoulder being dislocated at that unstoppable force.

"Arrgghh… Damn, level 4 beasts are truly in another level…" he muttered as he immediately controls his Ki and heals his wound.

But how could the beast give the human a chance? It quickly swipes its other hand, but this time its razor-sharp claws are out.

If Xin Ja is hit by this attack, he is sure that he would be shredded into five halves.

Another tree trunk suddenly appears but this time, the tree trunk is like a spear that suddenly punches a hole on the level 4 beast's attacking arm.

Growl!!!

The beast cried in pain as its arm was skewered by the sharp tree trunk.

But the level 4 beast did not give up and quickly stumps the ground sending tremors towards Xin Ja. Upon seeing this, Xin Ja quickly jumps in the air and dashes to the side.

But it seems that the beast is actually anticipating this. Its other arm suddenly struck towards the figure of Xin Ja who has nowhere to go as he is currently in the air.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback at this move from the beast.

A level 4 beast is not an easy opponent. Since they have reached such a level, their intelligence is almost on par with a human. But of course, they can only make simple planning just like what is happening right now.

As the beast's fists drew closer a slight smirk could be seen on its mouth filled with sharp fangs. It seems to say that no matter how the small human struggles, he still is stronger and more powerful than the young human.

But then the beast seems to have detected something.

It's like their unique animal instinct. It is their instinct in danger.

It quickly shifted his gaze to the young man, and what it saw made its heart sank.
