The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1267

(Unedited)

…

In the dark alley hidden behind the dying embers of the sun, two figures are slowly emerging.

Blue skin, long black horns in the middle of their foreheads, muscular built, and a lower body that looks like that of a bull, that is how the creature looks like.

These types of demons are called Blue Unihorn. They are a type of demon that has great strength and strong defense. However, their reaction speed is slow.

But nobody would underestimate them because of the hardness of their skin.

However, these kinds of demons are only at best E-rank creatures as they are easily dealt with. Although their skin is tough, they have a few weaknesses... one is their neck, the other one is their eyes… and the last one is their genitals.

And so, when the group saw the demons, they did not actually panic but instead showed a slight smile on their faces.

"Take them down!" commanded their leader.

Her three companions quickly moved and surrounded one of the demons, while she faced the other.

The battle began and the roars of the two demons echoed in the air.

Xin Ja observed the battle and showed a hint of astonishment in his eyes as he noticed the fighting style the four awakened are using.

Their female leader, Eden Vale, is using a sword that looks like a Japanese katana, James Reeve is using a pair of knives, Lance Grim uses a short sword and a shield, and Marcus Gray holds a battle ax.

Lance Grim is at the front of the battle holding the attacks of the enemy. Meanwhile, James Reeve and Marcus Gray deal the damages.

As the three work really well, they are soon able to defeat their opponent when James Reeve slices the demon's throat.

They quickly cheered when the blue demon fell lifeless on the ground.

Meanwhile, when they look at their leader, she has already sheath her sword and quietly walked to the group and then got seated on the side.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this as they showed amazement in their eyes.

"Our leader is really strong!"

"I did not expect that she could be able to defeat a blue unihorn demon alone…"

The group muttered while looking at her quietly sitting on the side.

"What are you guys dawdling for? Collectors, go and start your jobs!" shouted Lance Grim in annoyance.

He then glared at Xin Ja as he noticed him standing behind the group.

"Damn that guy… He is really getting on my nerves…" he muttered as he grumpily sits on one of the debris.

Xin Ja was a bit astonished at what he heard from Lance Grim. He did not know why that guy is glaring at him, but from the looks of it, he seems to be annoyed while seeing him?

Xin Ja helplessly shrugged his shoulders as he did not want to quibble with the guy. If he is annoyed then so be it, as long as he did not do anything, then Xin Ja would not bother with him.

After a while, the group has already gathered the material they needed and stuffed them in the bag. As for the rest, they just left them for the other beasts to eat.

They then proceed to go back to the location of the two armored vehicles as it would be dangerous to stay in the ruins at night.

Soon, they saw a lot of the others returning. Some are in a sorry manner with wounds on their bodies, while others have already lost some of their members.

But right at this moment, Xin Ja is feeling a hint of excitement in his eyes as he could feel a large amount of energy coming from the crystal they have taken from those two blue unihorn demons.

"If I can gather more of these things, then I can use them to cultivate…" he thought.

He began to create a plan to go back to the ruins once everyone is already asleep.

As he puts down his large backpack, he was approached by Lance Grim.

"You should go to the forest and find something to eat… I'm hungry…" he said while glaring at Xin Ja.

"There is food in the…" Xin Ja smiled and wanted to take out some food from the side of the backpack.

But Lance Grim steps forward and with threatening gaze glares at Xin Ja.

Everyone just looks at this scene and did not say anything.

"Hey… Lance, cut the guy some slack!" James Reeve said while showing a faint smile.

"Let him get something to eat… It is not that dangerous in these parts…" Lance did not relent and just glared at Xin Ja.

Xin Ja heaves a heavy sigh and just picks up his gears.

He just sneers when his back was turned and a crafty smile appears on his face.

Instead of feeling annoyed at the guy, he actually wanted to thank him.

How could he not feel thankful when the guy is basically asking him to hunt? So how could he not grab this chance to go outside and enter the ruin?

But from what he could see, the team members seemed afraid of that guy Lance Grim for some reason.

Anyway, he did not care about anything right now. All he wanted is to find a demon and kill it.

As he goes deeper into the shrubberies, his figure finally vanished from the sight of everyone.

"What are you doing?" James asked while looking at Lance.

"Mind your own business…" Lance glared at James

Lance walked to the forest where Xin Ja went.

"If you do something, we are going to drop you off the team…" suddenly Eden warned as she calmly took a bite of the bread.

Lance gave her a side glance and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Instead of going deeper into the forest, he suddenly walked to the side of the tree and leaned on it.

The mind of Lance Grim is a bit chaotic right now and he feels annoyed at everything.

Before coming to this place, the Grim family had a gathering and he saw his cousin. The family began comparing him and his cousin which causes him to feel annoyed.

Since they look down on him, he feels like doing the same thing to others to vent his frustrations.

He could not vent his anger to normal people, and only that rank F trash is there. So he feels like venting his anger towards that guy.

It all started when he arrived late at the meeting place. It truly annoyed him at that time.

And every time he sees the expression on that guy's face, it made him feel anger building up in his heart.

And now that he was stopped by Eden, he felt more frustrated.

…

Meanwhile, Xin Ja was about to enter the ruin when he sense someone nearby. He could only shake his head and decide to not go with his plan.

So instead of entering the ruined town, he directed his gaze on a creature not too far from him.

That creature is a demonized boar.

It is actually slowly approaching him.

With a smirk, he brandishes his knife and suddenly threw it while covering it with his Ki.

Puchi!!!

The knife penetrated the forehead of the sneaking boar and killed it in one shot.

The person hiding in the shadows was dazed upon seeing his action. Then what made that person more dazed is when Xin Ja walked a fair distance from the camp and towards a small stream of water. He began to prepare some woods and then cleaned the beast.

He then created a small burrow and then roasted the demonic beasts.

What he feels weird about is that the young man seems to be writing something on the ground while roasting the meat.

And that there is no smell that is coming out from the roasted meat.

"How is he doing this?" the man thought as he observes from above a tree.

But no matter what he did, he could not determine what is really happening.

An hour later…

Xin Ja returns to his group with foil-wrapped objects in his hand.

He then began to distribute the food to his teammates.

Everyone was a bit confused as to what is happening, but when they opened the silver foil, they were astonished that there is freshly roasted meat inside.

"This… How… Where did you get this?" asked James with confusion in his eyes.

Xin Ja just showed a faint smile on his face as he began to eat his own portion of the meat.

The juice coming from the meat smells nice which immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

"Wait a minute… This is… this is a demonized boar's meat! Are… are you crazy? Why would you eat such a thing?!" James worriedly exclaimed.

Xin Ja just showed a faint smile, and then began to explain.

"If you remove the excess energy from the body of the beasts… then you can actually eat it without worry… It's just as simple as that…" Xin Ja replied calmly.

But the people around him look at each other as if they are looking at a fool.

They dare not eat the meat given to them.

Lance Grim even glared at Xin Ja and stood up. He then threw the roasted meat covered in foil that he was holding.

But what happened next shocked everyone.
