The Geared Immortal

Chapter 919

(Unedited)

…

Splat!!!

The man who leads the marauder group was squashed like a pancake and was turned into a messy mush under the large foot of a rampaging behemoth.

He was not able to neither shout nor cry and died just like that.

Those who saw this scene felt like vomiting at the same time feel fear creeping into their hearts.

But before they could recover another series of booming sounds came out from the forest and killed the rest of the marauders who are driving the beast horde from behind.

"We're done here… We should throw some gas upfront of the horde to distract them and turn this chaotic situation around." Shin Jiao said as he handed a few smoke bombs to Xiamen Gong.

With a nod of his head, he was the first one to leave the top of the tree.

Xiamen Gong followed behind and headed to the other side of the horde.

It did not take long before the both of them have finished throwing the gas bombs and the whole forest became covered with the gas which also made the beast hurt their eyes.

Shin Jiao controlled the wind and the gas began to spread all over the place covering the entire horde which enters the area.

Roar! Roar!

Howls of anger and whimpering pain came out from within the smoke-filled forest ground. The horde seems to have stopped from their tracks and began to scatter all over the place.

Shin Jiao knew that his place succeeded.

However, there are still small parts of the horde that continue charging towards the village. Although they still number around 500, this number is not enough to destroy the village.

And so Shin Jiao and Xiamen Gong followed the trail of the remaining horde of beasts and eradicate some along their path.

The gunfire erupted from the walls of the village along with some of the mages casting large area spells.

It was already by dawn when the battle subsided and the walls of the village are littered with corpses of different types of beasts. One portion of the wall was even broken but the huge body of a behemoth is stuck on the crevice blocking the huge hole.

"Clean up! We have to clean everything up before it could cause diseases."

"We need help here!"

"There are some people inside this house! There are injured people! Help!"

The voices of the villagers could be heard as they busy themselves to clean the aftermath of the battles.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and his group are inside the inn resting in their quarters. They are the ones who have expended too much effort in this battle and needed to rest.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao, on the other hand, decided to go out and search for the lair of those marauders. It did not take him a long time as he soon found a hidden grotto.

He saw an ugly status that looks like the figure of a four-armed demon god.

As he scanned the inner part of the grotto, he discovers that this is just an entrance. As soon as he enters he found himself in a small forest filled with fruit trees and vegetation. It is surrounded by mountains all over and the people inside are living in man-made caves.

He then noticed some of the children running around while playing in the beautiful natural scenery.

The whole area is around 2 hectares wide and there are different types of fruit trees that look like a small orchard and some vegetable farmland.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao saw two men running towards him while drawing their swords.

But before they could attack, a tall scantly clothed female with a tall feathered headdress stopped the two.

"Do not attack him! You are not his match!" she said.

She then lowered herself on one knee and bowed.

"Oh great one, how may our lowly community be of service?"

When Shin Jiao heard her he did not say anything.

This woman is in her late 30's but she is covered with a strange aura.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I am Waliska, the druid of this mountain Village of Giir." She replied.

"A druid?… " Shin Jiao muttered.

"Yes… What should I call you my lord?" she asked politely without lifting her head.

"I am Shin Jiao. I just came to this place because your people drive the forest beasts to attack a village under my protection…" Shin Jiao said with a serious expression.

When she heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

When this person came to the entrance, she was not able to react and block his path. For some reason, he seems to know where the traps are in the entrance and how to avoid them. Plus when she was about to do something he suddenly vanished and then appear inside their village.

Plus when she saw him, she could clearly tell that this person is actually the strongest being she has ever seen in her entire life. He has an invisible aura that is stronger than a Grand Magus. So how could she not fear the man?

"This… We are sorry for the offense of my people my lord. We are ready for your punishment." She said.

When the people around her heard her words, they dare not do anything and suddenly kowtowed on the ground.

But amongst these people, a tall and burly man wearing only a beast skin loincloth stood indifferent while looking at Shin Jiao. He did not believe that this man named Shin Jiao is a powerful being as their druid said he is. Plus he could not accept the druid kneeling before this man.

He has his eyes set on the Waliska ever since he first saw her when they were young. And now that she has grown up and was discovered to have a druid power, the more he wanted her for himself.

But he dare not make a move because once she lost her purity, then her druid power would be diminished. So he dare not become a traitor of their village.

But seeing that she lowers herself before another man made him angry.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, did not want to linger any longer. He just came here to see if there are any more dangers. But it seems that these people are just some simple forest dwellers.

"I just wanted to ask, who commanded you to attack us?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked.

"We… The… The leader received an offer from Zepa City. So we grab the chance to be able to enter the city and do trades in that place." She replied.

"I see… thank you…" Shin Jiao turn around and was about to leave, but the woman suddenly stood up.

"Wait, my lord… I… Since we fail, we don't know what would happen next. If trading with the city is not possible, would it be fine if we visit your village?" she asked cautiously.

"Hmm… As long as you do not stir trouble, I think Fashuan village will not deny it…" Shin Jiao said.

Suddenly a small boy came running towards him and in the boy's hand is a weird-looking fruit.

When Shin Jiao saw the fruit his expression turned serious.

This is because this fruit has a unique fragrance and properties. As he scanned deeper and more meticulously, his expression turned pleasant.

He did not expect to find something so precious in such a place.

As someone who is also proficient in medicine, how could he not know the wonderful effect of the fruit?

"This fruit? Is this abundant in your village?" he suddenly asked.

When Waliska saw the fruit her expression turned a little serious.  But when she saw the kid who gave him that fruit, she immediately understood what is happening.

This kid is going to ask this man to cure his mother.

"Can… can you help my mother?" the kid said in a small voice.

When Shin Jiao heard the little kid's words, he suddenly had an idea what this kid wants. So he nodded his head.

His reaction stunned Waliska.

When Shin Jiao followed the small kid, the rest of the villagers followed.

Shin Jiao saw that in this village, men and women are all scantily clothed. Women only have a small piece of cloth covering their chest and they too are wearing loincloths. They look like some tribal people in some of the Asian countries on earth.

As they walk deeper he noticed that they are entering a secluded cave. Then the rest of the people following them did not continue to follow them as they go in.

He then enters a room, where he saw a woman lying on the bed with blisters all over her body.

"She is infected by the bacteria? But how?" he muttered.

"Her husband died… with the same sickness…" Waliska explained.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate to grab the small child and check his body.

And true to his conjecture, the child is also infected.

"I need to check everyone in this village. I need to know how it enters the village.." He said with a frown.
