The Geared Immortal

Chapter 580

(Unedited)

…

A sea of beasts is currently walking along the forest towards the direction of where the humans are living. Their first target has already fallen and that is the base of the bandits within the forest. Their next target is a place hidden deep within some mountains. However, due to the beasts' sharp senses, they are able to track the location and are currently going towards those locations.

The targets of these beasts are the secluded sects within the mountainous area around the city of Yun Ji.

There are 3 secluded sects within the vicinity of the mountainous area of Yun Ji City.

The Mountain Beast Sect, Jade Tortoise Sect, and Wolf Fang Bandit Sect, these three sects are the most famous and biggest sects within the area.

Although they hold the greatest power, they are aloft and did not join any faction and conflict within the city. Hence the city could only rely on themselves to destroy the bandits. If anyone of the 3 great sects would have joined, the fighting would have already ended and there is no need for many of the soldiers to have died.

Right now, since the beast tide was a bit early, greater bloodshed happened and thousands of city soldiers and bandits died. Meanwhile, the current large number of beasts is slowly marching forward being guided by some mysterious powers to destroy the humans which they have considered as their mortal enemy.

Meanwhile, as the Mountain Beast Sect stealthily arrives within the borders near the main road and they all saw the carnage lying in that area where hundreds of dead beasts are on the ground. Some of the corpses have been eaten and have many missing limbs and body parts while others are being gnawed at by some large ferocious beast.

"What happened here?"

"Did… did that person last night escaped from this place?" Chang Song muttered while looking at the gruesome scene.

"Yes, I think he said that he escaped from the road and this is the only road close to the river boundary." Lin Baojing replied while her eyes are observing the bloody scene.

Those who could not take the gory scene immediately left and almost had their expression turned ugly. This group is the scout group being led by Chang Song.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently standing with a group of newbie and was given a piece of leather armor and an iron sword. He looks at the sword on his hand and could not help but sigh. If he squeezes tightly, he is sure that he could make the iron grip be deformed.

But what could he do, this is the rule of this sect, so he could just watch on the sidelines.

When the scouts returned they all reported back to the elders who came with the army of disciples. Then a command was passed and everyone gets ready for battle.

Shin Jiao held the sword in his hand and crouch lower to the ground as the whole group began to march forward.

Not long later, they can already observe the tall trees not far from where they are, started to sway. And some fowls flying in the air as if escaping from a great and terrifying creature.

As the group slowly waited to ambush the beasts, they can now see that in the front of the large horde stood a ferocious looking tiger with sharp bones protruding at its back from its head.

"That's the Bloody Bony Tiger. That is a mythical creature not seen for hundreds of years. Why is it here? Even the sect master would not be able to defeat that thing. This is bad… we… we are all going to die here." A new disciple near Shin Jiao muttered in a low voice, but everyone around him could hear his voice.

And this made a lot of the new disciples have cold sweats on their forehead. They all knew about the legend of that beast even before they enter the sect and lives within the villages on the outskirts of the city.

It is a well-known fact that when the Bloody Bony Tiger appears means an omen of death and carnage. Some people even worship that beast and treated it as a god that would bring apocalypse to all mankind.

And for this reason, everyone is feeling a bit jittery and most are already scared out of their wits.

Then suddenly from the forest, a loud growl can be heard, when Shin Jiao shifted his gaze he saw that the growl came from the Bloody Bony Tiger. And along with that growl came forth a strong wind pressure that made some of the trees in front of it topple to the ground.

When Shin Jiao saw that his eyes suddenly went wide in astonishment. This is because according to the contact lenses, that growl from the beast does not contain any Qi or mana but purely focused sound wave control.

This scene made him think of an idea.

"If Qi and mana will not work in this place, then maybe, just maybe being able to exert enough pressure or force would create the same effect… but it would require a lot of training and practice." Shin Jiao thought as he continues to watch.

From the loud roar of the tiger, the rest of the beasts behind it began to run towards the hiding members of the Mountain Beast Sects.

Seeing the charging beasts, the rest of the sect members suddenly shouted.

"Attack!"

"Kill!"

With the shout from their leaders, the rest of the sect members suddenly darted out of the bushes and began waving their weapons.

A bloody confrontation can be seen in the forest where the beast and man clash in a bloody battle.

Both men and beasts soon suffered casualties in great numbers. Although the beast is at a disadvantage because of the strength showed by the humans, yet with their great number, the humans are being pushed back.

"New disciples prepare to assist!" shouted the elder leading the new disciples.

Shin Jiao's eyes squinted as he grips the iron sword in his hand.

"Damn this… Damn it…" a disciple in front of Shin Jiao muttered and he can see the young man's hand began shaking.

However, not all of them are afraid. Some have a glow in their eyes that shows they could not wait to go out there and kill some beast.

"Everyone, attack!" shouted the elder behind the large group of new disciples numbering around 200 young people.

Shin Jiao rushes along with the group and not long later, they clashed with the beasts in the front lines.

But Shin Jiao noticed that the elder that is supposed to be leading them suddenly fell back. He even saw the corner of that elder's mouth curve up. Then he realized that the new disciples are now being treated as cannon fodder to let the senior disciples retreat and carry the wounded away from the battlefield.

"Damn… I guess this scene is the same no matter what era or planet. The weak would always be treated as cannon fodders." He sighs.

But he didn't mind. At least in this battle, he could try his theories from what he saw from the Bloody Bony Tiger.

With a smile on his face, Shin Jiao approaches the first beast he saw. It was a large mantis with razor-sharp front legs that looks like two death scythes.

However, before he could approach the mantis, Shin Jiao suddenly felt killing intent coming from behind him. So with a quick reaction and without even looking back, he lowered his head barely dodging the incoming iron sword.

Shin Jiao didn't even think as his body reacted on itself and suddenly grabs the arm holding the sword as it passes in front. With a twist of his body, he suddenly wraps one of his legs to that person's neck while his other leg blocks the other arm of the guy.

Then the two fell to the ground, and with a slight exert of his effort, the guy who attacked him broke his arm and immediately cried in anguish.

"Kill him! Arrgghh!!! All of you kill him!"

However, this didn't end as there are also other companions of the guy who suddenly rushes towards Shin Jiao and brandishes their sword towards him. Those who saw this scene were all dumbfounded. How could these people be so stupid as to attack their sect members out in the open?

Shin Jiao rolled from the ground and immediately stood up. But didn't bother with the others and suddenly rushes towards the horde of monsters.

Those who saw his rushing figure have their mouth wide in disbelief.

Daixa Fengdi who seems to have recognized Shin Jiao's figure had her heart skip a beat at this scene. She immediately showed panic in her eyes. The guy is the first person she felt comfortable to talk with and has already considered as a friend. How could she not worry about him?

However, what can she do, she is currently embroiled in a deadly battle with a giant pangolin. So she felt helpless and just prayed deep in her heart that her newfound friend would be fine.

As Shin Jiao approaches a group of beast fighting against some of the senior disciples, he suddenly jumps up in the air and somersaulted behind the beasts.

This attracts the attention of the beasts and turned towards Shin Jiao.

Seeing this chance, those senior disciples didn't waste it and immediately made their move and killed the beasts in front of them.

Before they can react, they saw Shin Jiao's figure run with a scared expression on his face towards another location. And this random act of his made the group of beast shifted away from their opponents and got killed instead.

The almost comedic scene of a scared disciple running around the battlefield made the sect members of the Mountain Beast Sect shook their heads and if they could they would denounce him they would. However, the elders who came in this battle showed a realization in their eyes.

"This guy is not a fool…" an elder said with a smile on his face.

However, not only are the elders who noticed Shin Jiao's action but also the Bloody Bony Tiger.

With the many death of its army from what the foolish human is doing, it became enraged and immediately targeted the panicking figure of Shin Jiao.
