The Geared Immortal

Chapter 867

(Unedited)

…

As the oldest creature in the kingdom of Xinglo and the pet of Agus, Baldrix knew a lot more about this world than any other. So the information that Shin Jiao was able to discover in this cave is the real one than the rumors he has heard outside.

Coming to this place was the right decision he made and he knew that with the help of the Elemental Dragon Baldrix, he will be able to find a way out of this space.

However, right at this moment, that is not the most pressing thing that needed solving. On the other cavern, it seems that the monster is rampaging for some reason.

As Shin Jiao followed Baldrix's huge body, they arrive near a large hole where below it is the creature that looks like a gel tomato.

Its large tentacles are waving in the air and Shin Jiao could see three dwarves being held by the creature. The three 4 feet tall dwarves are being waved through the air as the creature began to go wild as if angered by something.

Shin Jiao did not know what is happening, so he immediately scanned the creature's body. And from what he could see, there are some metal fragments sticking on the surface of the gel-like body of the monster. However, some of these stones are glowing and it seems that it is causing the gel-like body of the creature some pain.

"Hmm… Are they feeding this thing metals?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked.

"Yes… it is the only way to appease it. This creature feeds on metals; however, inside this cavern, there are many strange crystals that can hurt it. So it is relying on the dwarves for its sustenance. But it seems that those three mistakenly feed it some of those… weird crystals embedded inside some ores…" Baldrix said while watching this scene.

At first, the dragon was a bit worried, but upon seeing the real situation, it seems to calm down.

"I guess there is nothing to be worried about…" Baldrix said as it turns around to go back to its lair.

"Wait a minute…" Shin Jiao said as he came closer to the large creature.

Baldrix was a bit worried, but Shin Jiao stopped at around 80 meters and carefully controlled those glowing crystals.

As they were removed from the body of the rampaging creature, he willed it towards himself.

"Hmm… These things look weird…" Shin Jiao carefully checked the crystals which are still glowing.

Meanwhile, the creature, feeling its body not in pain anymore threw the three dwarves and then went back to calmly digests its food.

The dwarves on the other hand landed on the ground with a loud thud and two of them immediately fainted. The other one who was very agile landed smoothly on the ground and immediately caught the sight of Shin Jiao and Loom beside the giant Elemental Dragon.

Baldrix just looks at the dwarf and then turns around and left. Shin Jiao did not linger and followed behind.

However, Loom was different; she immediately ran towards the dwarf and with glowing eyes excitedly greeted him.

"You are the captain of the scouts from the village, right?" she said with a wide smile.

The dwarf was also surprised to see Loom as he did not expect to see her still alive.

"Miss Diggingsons… how? I mean… How were you able to survive? The village was devastated that we could not find any trace of survivors. After the attack, many Scavengers stayed and began banging through our cave doors. So we sent scouts to release the trap inside the village to attract the giant insects… that way we can drive those Scavengers bastards away."

"Sigh… So that's what happened… As for my escape, it's a long story… Oh, by the way, captain… Have… Have you seen my… my…" Loom was a bit hesitant as she did not want to hear the bad news at all if there is one.

"Your mother… Well, she was able to go with us at that time. But… after hearing that you did not escape, she was devastated and is now very sick… You should visit her… she is in the infirmary."

"Thank you… Let me help you with the others…"

"Umm… How about the human? Why is he here? Did you lead him here?" the dwarf then turns his gaze at the slowly vanishing figure of Shin Jiao.

"Yes… I mean No… He… He was able to figure out the way to open the passage himself." Loom said with a hint of guilt in her expression.

"Loom, you go ahead first, I still need to talk to Baldrix." Shin Jiao suddenly said while waving his hand in the air.

When Loom heard this, she turns towards him and then said in her intercom.

"Yes, thank you, Master shin…"

The dwarf was a bit baffled but did not ask anymore as the two of them began to help the unconscious dwarves. Seeing that they might not be able to carry the two, she presses on her intercom again and said.

"Master Shin, can I use my Windfall… I need to help carry two unconscious dwarves…"

'Okay, I'm sending it to you now…' Shin Jiao replied.

It did not take long before she saw the Windfall running in her direction. The Windfall has an advanced tracking system that is a bit complicated and is not installed in any other Windfalls being crafted by the Mystique Shop.

The reason for this is the complex advanced array that forms a simple AI for the machine to follow. With it able to track the signal from its rider, it is able to go towards it as long as there are no complex terrains in front of it.

When the dwarf saw the strange running mechanical golem, he immediately went on guard. But when it stopped in front of Loom, he was a bit curious and asked.

"Miss Diggingsons, this is…"

"Oh, this one is my mount, it's called Windfall. This is a prototype created by Master Shin for our trip in here." She said with a slight proud tone in her voice.

The dwarf did not ask any more questions and just put the dwarves at the back of the Windfall and they walk towards another large hole.

It did not take them long to walk through the dark hole and soon reach the largest cavern inside the mountain. From the distance, she could see the towering dwarven castle where the real power of the hidden kingdom of the dwarves lies.

Loom was a bit worried in her heart, but she did not want to just blindly rush inside. She knew what happened that day and she is still resentful towards these dwarves inside her heart.

Though Shin Jiao explained to her the possible decision that the leaders made and that it was for the good of the many, she still could not forget that horror that day.

As she walks deeper into the kingdom a lot of attention was drawn towards the two and the mechanical beast that is carrying the two unconscious dwarves.

They soon arrive in front of the infirmary where there are many people walking roundabout and mane injured dwarves are being taken care of inside.

A group soon arrived and carried the two unconscious dwarves and Loom enters the hospital with them leaving the Windfall outside as she deactivates it and activates its protective array.

She was lead inside a corridor and soon arrives in front of a small bed where a female dwarf is lying. She could see that her mom is a bit pale and her healthy appearance is already gone.

"Mother…" she subconsciously muttered as she slowly approached the side of the bed.

The woman who seems to be dazing was caught off guard and soon her eyes lit up as she saw the figure of the person she is always dreaming of these past few days, her daughter.

She was devastated by what she learned outside and became sick upon returning. She carefully looks at Loom's appearance and a hint of a happy smile appears on her face.

"Loom… I miss you so much…" she said while tears began to flow in her eyes.

"Mother… I'm here now… I will not let you go this time. I will not leave you alone again." Loom promised as she hugged her mother.

The two cried and stayed like that for a while and then began to talk about what happened that day and how they were able to escape.

When Loom's mother heard about the human that helped her, she wanted to really meet this kind human who not only helped her daughter but also bring her back to her side.

She was truly grateful to the guy. But with her weak condition, she still could not go out of the infirmary and has to stay there for a while.

Her physical condition became weak because of her emotional distress, but since her daughter is alive and is back, she knew that she could not stay sickly and weak for her daughter's sake.
