The Geared Immortal

Chapter 751 - High Elven Baroness

Chapter 751

…

Around a hundred beasts of different sizes and kinds have gathered near the small crevice on the wall at the entrance of the second floor of the dungeon. Some are even fighting against each other and sounded threatening growls as they are trying to exert their dominance towards the others for the prey ahead of them.

Most of these beasts have tasted the blood of the elf and since then have had lust and cravings for it.

Suddenly they heard some rustling sound and saw a creature coming out of the crevice. Their eyes glared at the figure with a hint of expectation and delight at the same time. However, upon seeing that the figure is not the elf but instead a human, they all growled in fury and rage.

They did not want to eat some lowly human; they want the supple and scrumptious taste of the high elf.

Shin Jiao could feel the glares of the monsters towards him. However, as he looks around a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

This is because; these beasts are only comparable to silver and gold armor level combatants. Although they could provide him with energy cores and materials for crafting, yet this is not what he expected. Just like on the first floor, he thinks that the beasts on the second floor are far too weak.

Shin Jiao did not waste any time and his figure suddenly dashed towards the crowd of monsters and began slaughtering them.

Not long later, the ground is covered with blood and gore as the carcasses of the beasts are strewn roundabout.

"Let's wrap things up in this place…" Shin Jiao muttered as he began to gather everything inside his ring.

Then he cast a few spells to wash and rid of the place the scent of blood and gore. After doing that, he came back to the wall and repairs the formation covering the small crevice.

Upon completely repairing the array formation, Shin Jiao went inside and approaches the female high elf to checked for her vitals. After confirming that her condition is stable, he suddenly took out a small jade plate and a sharp tool that looks like a 3 inches injection needle with a contraption at its butt.

Without warning, he suddenly stabbed the needle at the woman's right arm and then attaches the jade plate at the end of the needle.

Shin Jiao noticed the female elf winched in pain although she is still unconscious. Soon an invisible gaseous thingy which normal eyes could not see began to flow through the needle and into the jade plate.

Shin Jiao nodded in satisfaction and kept the jade plate on his robe. He did not put the jade plate inside his ring as he did not want the woman resurrecting inside the space in his ring. That would expose his secret and would give him too much of a problem.

After doing that, he set up an array around the female elf.

Shin Jiao began to organize the carcasses of the beasts he has killed inside his ring to kill time. He did not want to go outside and venture further and waste more time. What he wanted is a sure and direct way to enter the demon chamber in the dungeon and eliminate the vampire which seems to be still alive after suffering from his attack.

While doing this, he suddenly thought of how to fight the vampire which seem to be impervious to any of his attacks.

"Hmm… should I use siphoning skill? Or the Yin and Yang Energy void?" he muses but is still undecided as he did not know what the effect of those two would give him in the land.

The siphoning skill is a great counter against the vampire, but he is afraid of the aftermath of its destructiveness when used in the bullets. He could try to absorb the vampire using his own body, but that would be dangerous as he might contract a virus or something. He did not want to be turned into a demon because of his foolish action.

The Yin and Yang energy void on the other hand would be a great choice for this. Due to its option to either absorb or turn to void everything, the skill is a great choice for this battle. For so far he did not know if the Dao laws in this land would permit such a thing.

Since the Dao laws in the immortal land are complete. Shin Jiao only has 20% confidence that the Yin and Yang energy void would work.

"Hmm… Well, I can only try creating new bullets then… I hope it would not burst while I'm in this place."

Shin Jiao remembers what happened last time. The explosion from the overload of energy is like a large bomb that obliterated a wide area. He did not want that to happen in this place as it was too messy.

But if he did not have any other choice, he would use it.

And so after mulling through his options, Shin Jiao began to craft two types of new bullets with stronger outer shells. One set has the essence siphon rune engraved on them, and the other one which is a bit more complicated is the limited Yin and Yang energy void.

While crafting, he suddenly noticed some movements from the female elf.

"Ugh…" she moaned then her long eyelashes slowly flutters as her eyes slowly opened.

As soon as she noticed Shin Jiao's figure she immediately showed disbelief in her eyes. The young man in front of her is a human, the enemy of her kind the high elves. And because of this she slowly backs away while looking at Shin Jiao with caution.

She did not know what the human did to her or how he ended in this place, but she could not put her guard down. Suddenly she noticed something. She could not feel any pain in her body and her energy seems to have recovered a bit.

Feeling a slight power in her body, the female elf suddenly decided to do a preemptive strike to surprise her enemy, and then she would run outside and escape.

As this thought came to her mind, she immediately gathers energy in her palm and strikes towards the exposed back of Shin Jiao. But what happened next stunned the female high elf.

This is because her energy-covered palm met an invisible thin wall with great resistance.

Bam!

"Arrgghh…" the female high elf cried in pain while grabbing her hand.

She then discovers that she is actually inside an array formation that seems to be surrounding her like a small prison.

Upon seeing this and feeling the pain on her hand, the female high elf suddenly filled with anger. How dare this human imprison her inside this array? For the past few months, she has been inside this dungeon and has been suffering all sorts of attacks, and has been tortured to death by the beasts.

She has almost lost her sanity if not for her strong will and pride as a pureblooded noble high elf.

Because of this, she could not accept that a lowly human would imprison her just like a lowly slave. She could not bear the humiliation and this made her really angry and depressed. Her pent-up emotion suddenly burst out as she began pounding at the array.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

As she pounded the array with all her might, she began to deplete her energy and her hand began to ache. Even with that, she did not stop. Then her hand began to bleed but she still continues.

She began to throw curses at the human who seem to be oblivious to her despair as if he did not hear or noticed anything.

Soon, after seeing that her rants and rampaging has no effect, the female elf slumped to the ground with her bloody fists and tears began to pour out of her eyes.

Shin Jiao at this time finished crafting and stored everything inside his ring.

He then turns sideways a bit and looks towards the female elf in the corner of his eyes and saw her in a mess and with a bloody fist. Her pitiful state almost made Shin Jiao feel sorry and wanted to immediately console her.

The reason for this is not because she is a woman but because she truly almost resembles Susan Tang and Qin Lou. And this touches Shin Jiao's heartstrings for a moment.

"Hey, stop crying…" Shin Jiao said as he stands up and looks at the female elf.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Shin Jiao asked.

The female elf slowly lifted her eyes and when their gazes met, she suddenly bit her lips. She did not want to show weakness towards the human, but her will to fight is already waning through the torturous days she spent trying to survive in this place.

She had been eaten, suck dry, dismembered, squashed, devoured whole, and even commit suicide just to spare herself from pain in this dungeon. And now she is almost at her limits. She swore in her heart that she would kill and destroy that vampire demon if ever she could see it again. 

When she heard Shin Jiao's asking her, she could not help but feel relieved. At least now she can hear someone and have someone to talk to even though that someone is her enemy.

But she could not show her emotion and so she just glared at Shin Jiao. But she still decided to answer him after a while.

"I am Baroness Olivia Li'gran, from the Li'gran clan of the High Elven Empire." She replied with a proud look on her face.

When Shin Jiao heard and saw her action, a slight smile appears on his face.

"So you are a baroness, I wonder how much I could sell you for?" he suddenly mutters.

But his words did not escape Olivia's ears.

With Shin Jiao's words, the expression of Olivia turned grim. She could believe what she just heard. But what could she do? She can't even escape the confinement and she is at the mercy of the human.

Suddenly an idea dawned upon her and a sneer appears on her face.
