The Geared Immortal

1266 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 16



Chapter 1266

(Unedited)

The world seemed to have suddenly changed as Xin Ja walked out of the metal doors. Trees could be seen from miles away which look different from the city inside the walls. Xin Ja could see many people wearing armor vests like the ones issued by the military… and some wears trendy suits that made them look like secret agents from the Unique Vision record of Shin Jiao.

Xin Ja could not help but be amazed at the design of the clothes of the awakened. In Myrth, the armor looks very heavy and bulky, but in this place, it looks flimsy and trendy.

However, Xin Ja knew that these materials used by the Shens are not ordinary.

As he touches the vest he is wearing inside his jacket, he could feel the strength it possesses. Even though he is attacked by Ki Adept he knew that he would not suffer any fatal wounds while wearing the vest.

Plus the black T-shirt that he is wearing seems to be made from a special material. He found that if he did not use his crafting ability, the T-shirt could not be easily torn apart.

As he looks outside the vehicle made of iron, Xin Ja could not help but feel like he is inside a Mecha.

"I wonder what would happen if I take out a Mecha in this place?" he thought as he peeks outside the small slit called the gunport of the vehicle.

When he was waiting at the walls before the mission would start, Xin Ja noticed the soldiers holding guns.

But according to what he knew, guns or those simple rifles are not that effective against any demons. Although they look powerful, their penetrating power is not as strong as MCAW.

When he saw the soldiers at the walls shooting at some random demonized beasts, he noticed the smoke coming from the rifles, and their very loud noise.

It really is like the guns he is using. The only difference is that… those guns he is using, have a very strong penetrating power.

Inside the armored vehicle, Xin Ja also noticed that some of the hunters have a sidearm.

"I guess, using my own guns would not any suspicion in this place…" he thought.

Suddenly, the driver of the armored vehicle shouted.

"We have company!"

When they heard this, one of the men sitting inside with them suddenly stand up and then manned the turret in the middle of the vehicle.

Xin Ja then saw another one bringing an arm-length bullet and then loading it on a bullet slot.

Xin Ja suddenly extended his Absolute sense and quickly saw that there are 3 demonic beasts coming to intercept them.

The demonic beasts look like giant wolves with thick black scales on their bodies.

"Fire!"

Boom!!!

The armored vehicle shook as the man manning the turret pressed a button.

Meanwhile, one of the awakened beside Xin Ja began to mutter while cursing under his breath.

"That guy is a jinx… Why would he say \'Good Luck!\' at that time? Because of him, we have faced such troubles…"

Xin Ja was a bit stunned. He now knew why those people feel such a way when that person said good luck to them…

"One of the metal-scaled wolves is down…" the driver said.

Boom!!! Boom!!!

The other two armored vehicles also began firing and one takes down a metal-scaled wolf, while the other missed its target.

"Shit! Why did that guy miss such a big target?!... Everyone move out and stop the remaining monster!" the driver called out.

The people inside the armored vehicle decided to walk out as the huge door at the back of the vehicle opened.

"Not you… you guys stay here inside…" someone stopped Xin Ja as he was about to get up.

Soon, from inside the vehicle, they could see the awakened fighting against the remaining metal-scaled wolf.

With the help of the armored vehicles, they were finally able to defeat the metal-scaled wolf. But several of the awakened was wounded.

"Whew, that was scary… that metal-scaled wolf is around E-rank, right?"

"Yeah, they are really something… I think that was the boss…"

"Let\'s move on!"

The armored vehicles then continue through the road and soon arrive in a ruined town.

"Alright, ladies! We have arrived in Ae-04… This place has been ruined for 3 years now. So you guys should be careful, okay! We will be waiting here… so have fun out there!" the driver said jokingly.

The rest just waved their hands as they got off the armored vehicle.

Xin Ja looks around and saw a medium-sized town in front of them.

The town really looked like it has suffered a lot and one could see demonized beasts every now and then.

He followed his group as they enter an abandoned building.

"We will be staying here for a while… to prepare, okay?" James called out and then gives some instructions.

It did not take long before the group has already checked their gears and are now ready to hunt for demons in this place.

This place has two types of beasts. One is a demon and the other is a demonized beast.

A demon is a creature that comes out from the void, while a demonized beast is a beast that has been exposed to chaotic Ki energy and began to mutate.

The difference between these two types of creatures is their aura, strength, and... only demons have dimension crystals.

Dimension crystals can be obtained while killing a demon. This is something that Xin Ja has learned from the orientation.

But the scientist of this world discovered that exposure to these crystals actually has no effect on anyone. But they are instead used as another source of electricity or power, and more. Because of this... awakened are commissioned to do two things.

One is to eliminate these demons, and the other one is to gather materials coming from the demon\'s bodies.

Some even tried eating the carcass of these things but they are deemed inedible. Even the demonized beasts are less appetizing as their skin is like rubber.

Xin Ja\'s group began to move carefully along the side of the buildings while scanning their surroundings.

Everyone is on alert and dares not lower their guards while Xin Ja, on the other hand, looks relaxed.

"You seem not worried?" asked one of the porters.

"Well, we have them… why should I be worried?" Xin Ja replied while pointing at the 4 awakened ahead of them.

"I don\'t know about you… But for me, I would not want to put my trust in those guys… When worse comes to worst, it would be every man for himself…" the porter said in a low voice.

Lance Grim, who is one of the members of the awakened, frowns as he glared at the two behind.

"Shut up…" he growled.

Xin Ja bit his lips and showed an awkward expression.

He is not worried as he has his senses spread within a 100 meters radius. So he just followed behind the group leisurely.

However, his relaxed manner has not escaped the eyes of Lance Grim. In fact, Lance has already felt annoyed at the naivety and country bumpkin expression that Xin Ja is showing while the group is traveling.

But he did not say anything as he just did not care at all.

"If a creature appears, I will let this guy suffer for his haughtiness. A mere F-rank dares to show such an attitude in the wild… If he dies in here, he can only blame himself…" Lance Grim thought as he glared at Xin Ja.

It was already late noon when the group stopped and rested for a bit.

"I guess we are in luck as we did not encounter any demon… I wish our luck would continue until we arrive at the hunting spot…" the porter who began talking with Xin Ja said.

"That would be for the best…" Xin Ja smiled but then his expression changed as he noticed something.

He closed his eyes and then concentrates.

After 5 seconds, his eyes opened and he is now showing a slight frown on his face.

"Get ready… something is wrong…" he whispered.

The porter was a bit shocked and quickly looks around.

He noticed that the awakened seemed to be unaware of what the guy beside him is talking about. So he just frowned and did not say anything.

When Xin Ja noticed that no one is moving, he decided to alarm the group. He picks up a small pebble and quickly flicks it in the direction of a beast lurking.

Peng!

The pebble hits a wall and it ricochets and hits the beast directly in its eye.

Roar!

Everyone was startled by the roar.

The 4 awakened quickly picks their weapons up and look in the direction of the roar.

About 80 meters away from them on the other side of the street in an alley, they noticed a large shadow.

"That\'s a… demon!" someone said as they immediately grabbed their packs.

"There are two of them! Get ready for battle!" shouted the female leader of the group.

She seems quiet, but once an enemy appears, she was quick on her feet and began commanding the team.

Xin Ja, on the other hand, has already retreated behind everyone.
