The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1111

(Unedited)

…

The fire dragon is one of the most dangerous creatures on the continent. They are very aggressive and would always cause havoc everywhere they live. They are considered as one of the most hated creatures in the land except for their kind.

A chimera on the other hand is something that no one wanted near their land. Chimeras produce poison and would kill any living thing in its vicinity and change the land into one that is filled with poison gas. The area where Xin Ja put the space boxes for the Mule is one such place.

A basilisk is a unique creature. It is a very large snake and could be considered the king of snakes. The thing that makes the basilisk dangerous is its gaze and venom. This is because both could turn their victims into stones. This is how it feeds and how it takes the power of its victims.

If any of these three ever enters the forest near Ogden Town, then it would surely cause great trouble for both the beasts in the forest and the citizen in the town.

The balance would be ruined and everything will turn into chaos.

With this in mind, Xin Ja decided to investigate. Of course, if it is far too dangerous then he would quickly escape from this place.

As he slowly creeps inside the tunnel, the smell of blood is becoming stronger. It seems that it has been a while as the smell of rotting is also in the air.

Xin Ja soon reached a bend and noticed that there is a large figure lying on the ground. It was not a chimera because there are no poisonous substances in the air. As he walks closer, Xin Ja noticed that a small figure is moving at the side of the large creature.

When he observed it looks like a small and a little fat salamander.

Xin Ja was a bit curious but still cautiously approaches. He has already seen that the large creature is already dead and the small one is just trying to stay by its side. There is a sound of whimpering he could hear coming from the small creature.

When Xin Ja neared the large creature, he could already tell that it is actually a black-winged… dragon. But the problem is that the two wings that should be in its back are actually torn off. How strong would be its opponent that it could actually tear off the wing of a dragon?

As he observes closely, Xin Ja immediately feels goes bumps on his skin. He now knew why Xushan is worried about this creature. This is because this is no ordinary dragon right in front of him. This is a very rare species of a dragon that he has read in some of the storybooks he has before.

People call this dragon, the black wing of death.

They call it as such because only its black wing could be seen in the skies before everything around it would be turned into cinders. According to the stories, the black wing of death once it attacks is like a bolt of huge lightning being sent from heaven and could destroy a whole village in one stroke.

From that alone, he could already deduce the true power of this creature. Luckily for him, the one before him is already dead. Then his eyes landed on the little black salamander on its side.

"Is it waiting for its mother to awaken?" Xin Ja thought as he steps closer.

Suddenly, the ground he stepped in glowed.

"Oh… no… an array!" he thought as his mind was whirled suddenly into a white blank space.

Xin Ja looks around and then noticed a tall white figure standing not too far from him.

"Who… who are you?... Where… where is this place?" he asked.

That white figure suddenly disappears and then suddenly right in front of Xin Ja a huge black face of a dragon emerges out of space.

"So… a human boy has intruded my place of death!" a raspy voice said with authority.

Xin Ja could not help but shiver in fright. But then he steeled his heart and looks at the gigantic creature right in the eye.

"Who are you… dragon?" Xin Ja said as he tries to calm himself down.

"Haha… Courageous in times of danger… Good. But is your heart clean?" the dragon said when suddenly, Xin Ja feel his mind ached a bit.

He falls on one knee while holding his head.

"Hmm… Your mind… is not easy to read… Haha… is this providence? Is this how fate would work on my child?" the dragon said in a loud voice as it laughed.

"Human… I will now entrust to you, my child. You can call her Xuanlong. I could not peer into your past or future, but I could tell that you are a craftsman. My child as a black dragon would be of great use to you… take good care of her… and she will be your loyal assistant…" the black dragon said as its large head slowly became transparent.

Suddenly, it turned into a black pearl and floated towards Xin Ja. As Xin Ja held the black pearl in his hand, he suddenly saw a large space inside of it.

"This… this is another space pocket?" he thought as he regained his consciousness.

He is now holding the marble-sized black pearl. But what made Xin Ja feel a bit happy are the things inside of that black pearl space.

"It seems that the black dragon did not collect anything but Ki stones…" he muttered to himself with a wide smile.

How could he not feel happy? There is a mountain of low-quality Ki stones inside of the black pearl. Plus, on the side, he noticed 10 stones with a lower aura. Lower aura means that the Ki stone is mid-grade. This is because the natural seal in the stone is able to suppress the aura better than low-quality ones.

When Xin Ja turn to the large corpse, he showed a slight frown on his face. Then he noticed the small black dragon looking at him with its curious eyes.

"You are Xuanlong, right?" Xin Ja said with a slight smile.

The black dragon's expression turned into surprise and nodded its head as if it is able to understand what Xin Ja is saying.

"Hmm… Your mother… or father… Ahhh… Well, anyway… you are to follow me from now on… Okay?" Xin Ja said as he waves his hand and the black pearl absorbed the large black dragon corpse.

Although the small thing that is the size of a house cat has a look of sadness in its eyes, it still jumps and then hops to Xin Ja's shoulder.

"Hmm… You're not too bad after all…" Xin Ja said as he looks around and then saw that deeper in the cave there are actually some crystals.

"Wait a minute… Are these the crystals that I am looking for?" he thought as he walks closer.

However, at this time, the black dragon suddenly patted his head.

"What is it?" he asked.

The little dragon shakes his head as if afraid of getting close to the crystals.

"Do not be afraid… they are actually harmless." Xin Ja said.

As he walks closer, he suddenly saw something that almost made his head skip a beat. From within the crystal, he saw a gigantic spider.

"Damn it! That scared me…" he said while patting his chest.

How could he not know that the spider is nothing but an image saved in the crystal? And the reason why he came to this place is that this crystal would be of great use to him.

He did not hesitate under the fearful gaze of the black dragon, to gather the crystals. He began digging them from the ground and storing them in the black pearl. He uses the black pearl because it has a lot more space than his ring.

After a large haul, Xin Ja left the cave. He knew that he should not be greedy and take everything. He still needed these crystals to deter any intruders in this cave. And after a few years, the crystals would grow on their own as this is one of their properties as long as they are not uprooted from the ground.

These crystals are actually like trees. Well, that is what he has read so far, so he could only trust in those words as they did not make any mistakes so far.

The reason why no one bothers to gather these crystals even though they are in the books is that no one deemed their usefulness so far.

As Xin Ja walks out of the cave, the first one to greet him is Xushan who immediately noticed the small black thing on his shoulder.

"Hiss… Little lad… that thing…" Xushan said as she lifted her huge head.

"Oh… This is Xuanlong, my new pet…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"Hmm… Are you not afraid?" she asked while curiously looking at the small creature.

"Nah, I met its parent and it entrusted it to me… By the way, do you want its corpse?" Xin Ja suddenly asked.

Xushan nodded her head without hesitation.. How could she not? This is a corpse of a real dragon… it would be good for her no matter what.
