The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1166

(Unedited)

…

After taking care of the situation in the ruined town, Xin Ja is now on his way to the fortress. His motorcycle whiz through the path and soon reaches an open field. So far he has not met with anyone on the road and the open field is a great sight after traveling through the forest for a while.

The motorcycle is quiet and does not produce too much noise and only the slight sound of gears could be heard. Xin Ja soon saw fresh traces of wagons crossing the open field and entering the edge of the forest.

"Hmm… They may be survivors of the war…" he thought as he quickly speeds up and soon enters the forest path.

Screech!!!

Xin Ja steps on the break of the motorcycle as it slid down the dirt road.

This is because… right in front of him he saw wrecked carriages. He can even see some dead bodies lying on the ground. The dead bodies are both that of people and beasts.

Suddenly, an arrow whiz pass through him almost hitting his head as Xin Ja tilted his head to the side.

Cold sweat immediately covered his back as an arrow almost hit his head. He immediately noticed the slight greenish texture of the arrow tip which tells him that it is poisonous.

As he rolled on the ground, he hid his motorcycle in the black pearl. He then quickly takes out his short sword and a Ki buster from his ring.

When he stopped rolling he has already positioned himself lower to the ground with both weapons at the ready.

He noticed a few shadow figures in the woods that are quickly surrounding him.

"I don't have much time to dawdle here…" Xin Ja muttered as he pointed the muzzle of the Ki buster to a particular direction.

Bang!!!

A thunderous sound reverberated through the air which startled the whole forest.

Then a bloody figure falls to the ground with half of its head missing. When Xin Ja saw that figure he was a bit stunned.

That is because… it is not a soldier from the Glysko kingdom but a soldier from Jimal kingdom.

"Are the soldiers still hunting me? I thought…" Xin Ja thought and immediately had a bad premonition in his heart.

Jumping to the side, Xin Ja dodges some of the arrows flying his way. He did not hesitate to quickly enter the forest.

"Chase after him!" shouted a voice as the figures from within the shadows moved.

As Xin Ja run deeper into the forest, he began to plan out his next move. He did not expect that an ambush would be set for him and that many of the survivors actually fell in the hands of the soldiers from the Jimal kingdom.

He is now thinking about what he has done to deserve such hatred from the soldiers?

He just protected himself and has killed that officer out of self-defense. But does that warrant the army to chase after him even sending high-ranking soldiers just to kill him?

Xin Ja frantically runs with all his might as he passes through one tree after another until he reached a part of the forest where the trees are a bit dense.

"Ragelings territory…" he muttered as his eyes squinted.

Ragelings are beasts that are very fierce and would attack anyone who enters their territory. They are beasts that hunt in groups and look like monkeys the size of a man.

As he enters the thick forest he could immediately notice the marks on the trees used by the Ragelings to mark their territory.

Xin Ja could also hear movements from above the trees which means that the Ragelings are already on the move.

Behind him, the soldiers continue to chase after him as if they are not bothered by the presence of the beasts around them. He could feel cold stares on his back and strong killing intent rushing towards him.

Xin Ja could tell that the people chasing after him are all 5th level soldiers. And from the clothing they are wearing, he knew that they belong to the special force in the army.

His heart began to pound faster as he could tell that the soldiers are gaining behind him.

Xin Ja continues running as if he is looking for something deep within the forest.

Suddenly, he felt a fast object approaching him from behind. Without hesitation, he quickly jumped to the side and saw an arrow passing through.

Xin Ja was able to dodge it because of his sharp sense. However, the attack did not end there. He could immediately feel multiple objects being flung at him.

But this did not concern him as the target of those objects is not just him but also the people chasing after him.

One of the soldiers was caught unprepared and his head was bashed by the flying rock which is actually embedded with Ki.

In his time in the forest in Ogden town, he has learned of some beasts that are able to use Ki. And one of those beasts is a Rageling.

"Damn it! Chase after that kid! The rest deal with these pests!" shouted a man as he draws his blade.

Others began to point their arrows at the Ragelings coming towards them.

The battle between beast and men began.

Meanwhile, 5 soldiers did not stop and continue chasing after Xin Ja… and behind them is an army of Ragelings.

Suddenly, Xin Ja saw a thick bodies tree and quickly takes out a bone rune. He did not hesitate to throw the bone rune to the body of the tree.

It immediately caught fire in just a second. Then in another 3 seconds, something happened.

The tree actually began to move.

Its thick vines began to sway all over the place and an unlucky soldier was caught off guard and was torn in half.

The rest began to fight against the thick vines waving all over the place.

Xin Ja grabbed this chance to escape while a soldier followed behind him. But then that soldier was unable to follow because a vine suddenly appears in front of him which made him quickly jump back to dodge.

Upon seeing this scene, a slight smile appears on Xin Ja's mouth as he continues running away.

20 minutes later…

In the forest, a group of people arrives following a soldier which seems to be good at tracking.

"He went past this way about 5 minutes ago… it seems that he encountered some trouble…" the man said while tracking the ground.

"Blood! This is a man's blood." The tracker said.

"Good… he is wounded. I need to get my revenge for what happened to the others…" a soldier said with an angry look on his face.

"He has to pay for the lives of our comrades!" he shouted in anger.

Out of the 20 of them, only seven are left after being killed by the Ragelings and that moving plant with vines as sharp as a sword.

"Sir… he went this way…" the tracker said while pointing in a direction.

The soldiers then began to run in the direction pointed by the tracker. Soon they arrive in a small clearing and find more traces of blood.

"Be careful everyone… he is hiding here somewhere…" the tracker said which alerted the rest of the soldiers.

Suddenly, the tracker held his neck as a long gash appears on them.

"What? What happened?" shouted the leader as he tried to hold the wound on the tracker's neck.

But the tracker still died in his hands.

"Damn? What just happened?" the leader shouted in anger.

Suddenly, another soldier fell to the ground. This time, his neck was punctured from the side. Then another one fell to the ground with his chest bleeding as if a sword wounded him.

But the thing that baffled the remaining soldiers the most is the way their soldier companions died. It was like there is an invisible enemy around them and they would just die without a fight.

"Side by side!" shouted the leader.

But then it was for naught as one by one, the remaining soldier's eyes are filled with terror. They did not know what is happening and right now, they cannot escape anymore. It was like something really horrible and terrifying is hunting them one by one.

Then right in front of the leader's eyes, his companion's chest was punctured by an invisible knife.

"Damn it!" shouted the leader.

But before he could do anything something seem to have bit his hand and he discovered that it is wounded heavily.

Then suddenly his left leg became numb and then his right. This was until his whole body is now unable to move.

The leader is now filled with fear as he looks around him.

"Spare! Me! Please!" he shouted while trembling in fear.

Suddenly a young voice appears and the surrounding changes.

"You wanted to avenge your companions? You have no right to say those words… You hunted me and killed those people… those survivors… And you have the audacity to seek revenge? Hahaha… What audacity?" the youthful voice said.

Right in front of the leader of the squad of Special Forces eyes, he saw Xin Ja appearing.

Holding a short sword, Xin Ja pointed it on his neck.

He then saw everyone one of his companions lying on the ground bleeding.
