The Geared Immortal

Chapter 750

…

Inside the dome-shaped crevice, a large hole could be seen while everything is in ruins. The explosion from the bursting point skill that Shin Jiao used was too powerful that it almost obliterated the whole domed cavern. However, Shin Jiao now finds himself inside a deep tunnel after being thrown through a wall by a powerful explosion.

"Damn… where is thing place?" he muttered as he slowly stood up.

His body is partly covered by the suit. He was only able to activate the suit partly due to time restraint. But it was enough to preserve his life after his energy shield was broken.

Shin Jiao could feel his body aching and his head is still spinning.

"Where am I?" he muttered while looking around at the dark place.

The spot he fell from seemed to have caved in and is now covered with large boulders. Shin Jiao carefully extended his hand and tried to remove the boulders but for some reason, he is unable to do it.

"This place is protected by a very strong array formation… I need to find the central core to deactivate or destroy this type of array."

He tried his communication device but it seems that he could not contact his people outside.

And so, he did not have a choice but to walk through the dark cavern and noticed the ground which seems to be made of stone bricks. From the looks of it, this place is what one would consider a dungeon. However, this is just his conjecture as he just speculated everything from what he is currently seeing.

Using the night vision ability of the helmet, he could see the ground and the walls which seem to be artificially made and not natural.

As Shin Jiao walks deeper, he soon discovered that his conjecture was right. He is now inside a mysterious dungeon, this is because he noticed that ahead of him are some braziers that emit bluish light.

Then not too far from him he could see a few dungeon denizens.

"Giant rats?" Shin Jiao muttered to himself as he observes the small number of creatures ahead that seem to have not noticed him yet.

Due to his armor, his scent and aura are suppressed which made the other creatures that saw him think that he is just a puppet or something.

As he observed carefully, he suddenly noticed, the beasts seem to be fighting against each other. Then not long later they began killing each other and those that were hurt escaped while those that could not, were killed by their own kind.

Shin Jiao saw the rats began feasting on the flesh of their dead.

He feels a bit nauseated seeing this seen.

While watching to the side, Shin Jiao suddenly heard a burst of faint laughter in the air.

"Hihihi… That human… I will find him. I must kill that human! Hahaha..."

The voice is a little faint, but it seems to have reverberated throughout the entire dungeon which seems to even frighten the giant rats.

"Damn it, that thing is still alive after that explosion?" Shin Jiao muttered to himself feeling a bit annoyed.

He did not know what happened, but that bursting point skill he used should have evaporated everything on that vampire\'s body.

But now, it is still alive? How could he not feel annoyed?

"I need to find that guy and end this before we could harvest anything in this place."

With that goal in mind, Shin Jiao ignored the giant rats and began walking towards the path. But as soon as he came closer, the rats around him suddenly have their eyes shine red. Then as if finding their prey, the giant rats began attacking Shin Jiao.

But how could they go against him? He didn\'t even have to take out his weapon and just stood there while the rats that were supposed to come closer would just fall to the ground and die.

Using his psychokinesis, Shin Jiao was able to kill stealthily by just crushing the hearts of those giant rats.

And so he traverses the dungeon with ease and would kill the creatures that would block his path. While doing this, Shin Jiao would casually take out some of the beasts\' energy cores that he wanted.

Soon he arrives at the entrance of the stairs going down to the second floor of the dungeon. As he descended the stairs, he saw something.

He immediately noticed that there is an obvious trace of someone living in the place.

It is a slightly secluded place within the dungeon\'s second-floor entrance and exit stairs and there is a trace of an array formation that seems to hide the small hole on the wall.

 If not for Shin Jiao\'s psychokinesis spreading around him, he would not have noticed such an obvious spot.

As he drew closer, he noticed traces of footprints on the ground. And he could also see some traces of golden blood on the ground.

"An immortal? Is there another person who was trapped in this place?" he thought as he carefully approached the array.

Shin Jiao did not exert too much effort to break the array and easily enter the small crevice. As he peeks inside the small cave, he saw the traces of blood on the ground and followed it by carefully squatting down as the hole is too narrow.

Soon, he arrives in a small room. From where he is, he could see a half-naked elf with disheveled hair lying on a make-shift bed made of some beast\'s skin.

Shin Jiao could see that her stomach seem to have been wounded badly.

The high elf wore tattered clothing that could barely cover her body and on the side, he could see many broken weapons with traces of beast blood on them.

From the aura of the female elf, Shin Jiao could tell that she is at a gold armor level. But her energy is dwindling as she seems to be using it subconsciously to suppress her deep wound.

At first, he thought, why is she struggling? She should have decided to die already and get resurrected back to the High Elven Empire. But upon remembering the black stone box in the hands of the vampire, Shin Jiao realized that this high elf is a prisoner or rather a source of entertainment for the vampire in this place.

Although she is an enemy, Shin Jiao could not help but feel pity. The treaty has already been signed and that the humans and high elves have stopped the war. Hence he decided to just help her and see what\'s going to happen next.

Shin Jiao has already deactivated his armor but he is not worried. The power level of the woman is not a threat to him anyway even if she is in her best condition.

As he squatted down, he carefully checked the pulse of the female elf and then looks at the wound.

"You should be glad that I arrive on time…" he muttered as he began treating the female elf.

After treating her wound, Shin Jiao carefully cleaned the woman to prevent any further complications. He prepares new clothes for her as her clothes are really in tattered that one could just say that she is practically naked in front of him.

Shin Jiao has seen women\'s bodies and also touched them, he was a bit tempted by the alluring curves and supple white skin of the female elf, but he is able to control his desires as he carefully helped her get dressed.

He suddenly remembers the first time he arrives in Gaeus Ro and found Cherry Lao. She was in the same state at that time, and he was still a bit naïve.

Now it\'s different, he has seen women and even has an experienced with two of the most beautiful women he knew and has seen so far. So he is able to have control over his desires and feelings even after clothing the female elf.

But he could not deny that this particular young elf is really beautiful. She is like a western version of Susan Tang and Qin Lou but with golden hair. He could not help but suddenly remember Susan and her last words toward him.

His heart suddenly ached upon remembering that time and he feels that he was cheated. Though she said that she is going to wait for 100 years for him, deep in his heart, Shin Jiao knew that it was impossible for him to reach and exit the immortal land in just 100 years.

Through his knowledge and the things he learned, those saint rulers are geniuses of their generations. And it took them almost 1,000 years to attain their saint ruler level. So how could he compete with that?

Upon thinking to this point, Shin Jiao\'s heart feels like it was bleeding. He knew that Susan has seen something out there. He knew that she has experienced and has realized something which he could not fathom yet.

Maybe she has seen the truth of the universe. Her eyes might have been open and for the sake of her previous feelings for him, she said those promises and words towards him.

While thinking up to this point, Shin Jiao suddenly shook his head. He feels like he is being bewitched upon remembering these things. He suddenly feels that this related to the female high elf.

"Is this an illusion?" he thought.

But upon mustering all of his energy and even activating his domain, he still could see that the feature of the high elf is really just like that of Susan with a slight variation in terms of her eyes, ears, skin, and hair. So he could figure what is really happening.

Shin Jiao did not dwell on this for long as he suddenly noticed that there are beasts that seem to have been attracted towards this place.

Shifting his gaze outside, he remembers the traces of golden blood on the ground.

Shin Jiao immediately acted and went outside.

As soon as he came out of the small crevice, his eyes squinted as he saw the scenery in front of him.
