The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1014

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao who has recovered from that blast, looks at his scope and saw the figure of the demon on the ground. His eyes immediately light up. The demon looks imposing with its armor and all. He looks at the guy who is still in a trace and quickly injected something into his neck.

The man slumped on the ground and he quickly created a portal in front of him and threw that guy inside the portal like a sack of trash. The portal is directed at the cliff just outside the barrier to the land of death.

He saw the man falling inside the barrier and immediately heaves a sigh of relief.

He then jumps down the high tree and began running atop the trees in the direction of the enemy demonized army.

Soon Shin Jiao landed on top of a tree branch while watching the chaotic army below him. On the clearing not too far ahead, he could see that the demonized army have already been defeated by the forest elves.

Without the command from their general, how could the frenzied demonized army fight against the forest elves?

Without the main head of the battle, they were rendered helpless in this head-on fight. And so, one by one the demonized army fell.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao's eyes are glued on a figure limping away on the battlefield. That figure waved his hand and a large beast flew in his direction where he jumped and if flew away.

Shin Jiao turned to follow the beast, but before he left, he took out a few small pouches from his dimension and threw them on the ground as he followed the escaping demon.

When he reached a little distance, from behind him the horizon was suddenly engulfed in a couple of huge mushroom clouds, as a series of explosions rose up in the sky.

The demon who is escaping heard this and immediately turns around. What he saw dumbfounded him thoroughly.

They did not attack the humans because they know that the human already has the ability to create weapons of mass destruction. According to their spies, those humans have grown stronger in this world and would soon be amongst the strongest races.

And because of that, their great general commanded them to start the commotion within the elven race.

With the elves in trouble, they know that no one would help especially the humans. And after they conquered the elven race and controlled some of them while the others would be demonized, they would turn their attention to the other races.

This plan has been agreed upon by the invading generals and the commanders. But who could have known that on their second day of the attack, his army would meet this kind of fate?

This would be a large hit to their plans and he decided to report back to their underground command base.

Unknown to him, just below him a small figure stealthily follows in secret.

  After about 2 hours of running and hiding, Shin Jiao soon reached a dense forest near the High Elven borders. This place has many steep and tall mountains which could serve as a natural fortress.

As Shin Jiao follows the flying beast, he noticed it entering a large cave.

But Shin Jiao did not proceed because he immediately noticed the presence of a few demons lurking in the shadows of the forest.

Plus he could also feel the presence of some shadow beings.

Although he is already in the lord's realm, he would still not be a match to this strong army.

From what he could see, the weakest of the group is in the lord's realm, and the highest are saints. He did not know the power leveling and what the demons and shadow beings called them. But for now, he could only use the universal power level in the immortal land to gauge them.

However, Shin Jiao could also not let these beings be and have to infiltrate their base no matter what.

He carefully donned in a hooded cloak and activates its cloaking ability.

Soon his figure and aura slowly vanished in thin air.

"Huh!…" a demon suddenly stopped and looks at its surroundings.

It soon scratches its head as it did not see anyone. But it could have sworn that it felt something odd in that place.

It looks at its companion and grunted.

The other demon also grunted and the two continue looking around. After a while, they stopped as they found no one in the vicinity. The two then resume their patrol in the area.

On another side, Shin Jiao saw two demons slacking off to the side while one of them are gorging on a large warthog which it just killed.

He carefully assessed the area and discovered that no other demons are around. He controlled his killing intent and slowly approached the two.

One of the demons sits on the side while its eyes are closed as if it is sleeping while the other one is devouring its food beside it.

From one look, he could tell that the other demon just ate its meal and is resting while the other one is just starting.

Soon, Shin Jiao appears behind the two and was about to pierce his blade when the one sleeping suddenly opens its eyes.

It actually felt some ominous feeling in the air as it quickly became defensive.

It wanted to alarm its companion…

But it was already too late.

A long and sharp dark blade is already protruding on its chest. It turned its attention to the side and its eyes bulges in disbelief.

Its companion's body is already on the ground and its head is missing.

After killing the two demons, Shin Jiao quickly hid them in his dimension as he walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Soon, Shin Jiao reached the entrance of the largely hidden cave and felt that something is weird about the place.

Using his absolute sense, he immediately realized that in front of the cave there is an array formation.

"This is a protective barrier… This is a barrier that would only let demons inside." He thought after scanning the barrier in front of him.

Shin Jiao extended his hand but immediately froze in place as right in front of his palm an ugly face of a demon suddenly appears.

Its serpentine red eyes and slightly scaly reddish skin made his back feel a slight tingling sensation. Shin Jiao dare not move for fear that the demon would be able to see the ripples in the air caused by his invisibility cloak.

"Huh?..." the demon look straight and Shin Jiao's heart almost skipped a beat.

Right now, the demon that pokes its head out of the formation is actually a high lord demon. If he is found by this creature, then it is sure that his life would be in danger. He had seen how devastating those high lord demons in the battlefield a while ago.

They actually obliterated the human army with their wide-area spell bombardment. Luckily for him, he is quick with his reaction and was able to save some. Plus he was able to mark a demon familiar hence he is able to gain such intel about the face of the demon and the shadow being which should be the leaders of the invading forces.

So right now, Shin Jiao's feeling is in tenterhooks.

He waited before that head return inside the barrier before he could retract his hand.

"Damn it… that was close…" he thought.

"I can't take down this barrier or else, I would be discovered. What should I do then? How could I enter this place?" he began thinking of ways on how to enter.

His absolute sense could not penetrate the barrier. He dare not use his spiritual sense as he could feel that the barrier could detect spiritual senses. So his only way to infiltrate this base is to use another demon.

Shin Jiao suddenly has an idea. It is a bit disgusting, but he did not have a choice. If he wanted to learn about the plans of the demons, he needed to infiltrate this base.

Shin Jiao left the area and return to where those two demons were standing on guard with. He looks around and then sets up a concealment array around him after he found a large tree branch and settles on one corner. He quickly enters his consciousness inside his dimension and began working on his plan.

Two hours have passed since then, and Shin Jiao once again appears on the branch. He retracted the concealment array and was about to jump down when he noticed something within the bushes.

He quickly spreads his spiritual sense and scanned the area.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback when he saw two large demons are actually walking in his direction.

"Damn it! Why are they coming in this location?" he thought as his mind immediately began thinking of a way for the demons not to notice that two of their people are actually missing.

Without a choice, Shin Jiao quickly jumps down from the tree branch.
