The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1072

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja was immediately surrounded by many people which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Thank you for helping us…"

"Without you, we would all be screwed, thanks!"

"I owe you one…"

Complements from the people around him echoed in the air.

But they were all interrupted by a raging and angry shout.

"Free us from here you bastards! I swear I will kill you all if you do not free us from this cursed place!" shouted Yao Xinghe with threats.

"The young master commands you all to free him! Are you all going against our Yao family!" The Ki fighter from the Yao family who is outside shouted in anger..

They began to curse everyone and shout threats.

"Haha… Well, actually… We also have another way around this thing… What if we wake this dragon up and make it gobble you lot fully. That way we don't have to settle with these threats of yours!" Hou Jiang chuckled with a threat of his own.

The three suddenly became silent.

"That's better… You three should stay and be obedient… Maybe there might be something for you guys inside after we get what we wanted…" Hou Jiang said as he turns around with a wave of his hand.

The rest laughed and also turn around to enter the large room behind the hall.

At this time, Xin Ja has already walked to the passage and took Yao Xue with him and the two followed the group from behind.

Suddenly, the Ki fighter from the Yao family who was not trapped inside the dragon's mouth moved.

With a sinister gaze on his face, his fingers are already spread with an aim to hit the black cloth woman following behind the masked youth.

"Do you think you can insult our Yao family and live!" he shouted.

In fact, he already noticed that the one who was actually controlling the rune array was the masked youth. But he could not make his move because the people around that guy have the same level as himself, so he could only glare at them.

But it seems that luck is on his side as that person walks away from the group and seems to still have a companion hiding. And the companion of the masked youth is a woman who has a veil covering half of her face. He immediately thought that the relationship between the two is something important. With that, he immediately decided to take the woman as a hostage.

As he drew closer and with his speed, he is confident that he could catch the woman in one fell swoop. Plus, he also noticed that these guys are actually weaklings.

With a sneer on his face, he is not fully confident of his success.

At this time, feeling the danger, Yao Xue suddenly turns around.

As she did, her expression became horrified. She did not expect that someone from her Yao family would suddenly charge at her and it seems that the person wanted to kill her judging from his sinister gaze.

She wanted to take a step back, but an invisible pressure from the gaze of that guy made her froze on the spot.

Wheng!!!

Suddenly a formation activates and the guy seems to have been frozen in the air. The momentary interruption of his surroundings made the guy lose his balance and his foot seems to have slipped while taking a step forward.

Crash!!!

That guy crashed on the broken tiles where the crater was and tumbled inside of it.

"Stupid…" Xin Ja said with a smirk.

He quickly grabs Yao Xue's fair hand and drags her towards Hou Jiang and his group who have stopped and turned around.

They saw what happened and a smile crept on their faces. They were worried for nothing.

"Little brother, you seem to have a lot of tricks on your hand… Hehe… If you can give me some of those tricks of yours, I will gladly pay you…" Hou Jiang said with rubbing his hands with expectation.

Xin Ja rolled his eyes at the antics of the guy.

"How could my lowly tricks compare to your 4th level strength?" Xin Ja said while shaking his head.

"Haha… You're jesting me, right? Look! Look!" Hou Jiang said while pointing at the three figures behind them.

"Those people are 4th level Ki fighters just like me, and they all fell because of your tricks! How could not be wonderful… If I could have… you know… a thing or two… maybe, three… What do you say? We can trade you know…" Hou Jiang insisted while walking beside Xin Ja.

Feeling a bit annoyed at the pestering guy, Xin Ja sighed helplessly. He knew that this guy does not mean him, no harm. In fact, he could feel that the guy wanted to be friends with him. So he could only resign to his fate with the guy's festering.

"By the way, little brother… what do you call that 'bone' thing that you tossed and made that person freeze for a few seconds?" Hou Malou suddenly asked.

Xin Ja was a bit surprised and looks at the three around him with their expectant eyes. Their gazes of course made him feel a bit uncomfortable once again.

"We… Well… that is called 'Stun rune'… It actually does not freeze them, but instead disorients them for 2 seconds… I am not strong enough to do more than that…" Xin Ja said shyly.

"I will buy one of those for 1 low-quality Ki stone… What do you say?" suddenly Hou Malou said as she takes out a low-quality Ki Stone.

Xin Ja was bit taken aback. How could something he just made using the bone of some wererat amount to such a price?

As if in a daze he did not say anything and just looks at Hou Malou's beautiful face. Her previous icy expression has turned into a smile which showed how beautiful she really is.

Upon seeing this, Lin Geng grabs her shoulders and pushes her forward.

"Do not show your smile… you'll make this guy lose his mind…" he teased.

"You…" she wanted to retort but looking at the expression of the agape masked youth, she felt a bit conflicted.

She just smiled at him, why was he stunned. Hou Malou could not help but give a helpless sigh in her heart. She did not expect that the young man would be like other guys who did not know her. Those guys would also be stunned for a while upon seeing her smiling face.

When she was about to turn around, Xin Ja seem to have recovered from his stupor.

"No, wait! Wait… are… are you sure that you want to buy a stun rune for 1 low-quality Ki stone?" he reiterated.

The three were baffled at his question. It was as if it was a big deal to have 1 low-quality Ki stone. However, how could these people know that Xin Ja's earning comes from his hard labor in the forest? He trained and fought against beasts and would sell their pelts for Jimal currency.

Although he has low-quality Ki stones with him, yet selling something that cost him almost nothing at such a high price has not happened to him before.

So he was really stunned and deep in his heart he is already jumping in happiness.

"Yeah… So… do we have a deal?" Hou Malou immediately walks beside Xin Ja and pushes Li Geng away.

"How many do you have?" she asked.

The two began to talk, and the other two guys pooled also their money. In the end, the three got 30 stun runes, 5 trapping rune array sets, and 15 camouflage array sets. They paid Xin Ja 50 low-quality Ki stones and the three divided the items.

"Little brother… you are a runemaster, right? These things are crafted intricately… Amazing…" Hou Malou said while examining the thumb-sized rune-filled bone piece.

Behind them, the expression of Yao Xue is a bit complicated. She did not expect that the random object that Xin Ja created could be sold at such a high price. But she also knew what those things signify.

Something that could easily stun a 4th level Ki fighter, something that could camouflage and hide them, those things can be considered as their lifesaver.

The five began walking in a happy mood and soon reaches the end of the large passageway. In front of them is a wall with three different colored doors.

"This is it... According to the elders, behind these doors are the treasures of this abode. If one can obtain a high-quality treasure then that would be their luck. In each door, only one can enter…" Hou Jiang explained.

He then looks at Xin Ja and smiled.

"Good look, little brother! See you in the outside…" he said as he began walking.

The rest of the people have already chosen the door they wanted to enter and only a few are left. They were all trying to determine which door would be the best.

Xin Ja looks at Yao Xue and nodded his head. He handed her a few rune-filled bone pieces and walks towards a door, he has chosen.

In fact, he did not know why, but for some reason, he could feel that this door is calling after him.
