Chapter 670

(Unedited)



A long-necked deerhound-like dog that is at least 1-meter tall slowly approaches a bush and suddenly lifting its long neck and a small head. Then as if sensing something in a particular direction, that hound suddenly ran.

Behind it are four figures riding at the back of different mounts. Two of them are horses with black horns on their foreheads, and the other two are a stag with long branched antlers and a black panther-like creature.

As the four followed the hounds their expression turned serious.

The reason for this is because that peasant who went out of the village has actually reached a far distance and a deep deeper into the forest by himself. They even saw some traces of fighting in that forest as they followed the hound.

"That is one gutsy fellow. I guess he didn't fear death because he hasn't experienced it yet." The young man at the back of the panther said with a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt in his tone.

"He is just lucky…" Kevin Gart said with a sneer.

He does not believe that the guy is able to survive. In fact, he wanted to wait in the village. However, for some unknown reason, he volunteered to hunt for that fellow with the commander of their group.

Riding his unicorn mount, Kevin Gart is already planning things in his mind. He suddenly takes out a small bottle in his pocket and looks at it with a sinister glint in his eyes.

Inside that bottle are pills that were created by some alchemist from the clans. These are just low-level pills that would inhibit one's immortality for a few hours and let them suffer the agonizing pain of the atmosphere in this world.

The immortal land is actually very harsh to mere mortals or those with a weak physique. That is one of the reasons why, when they get wounded, they would feel more pain than normal. It was really agonizing and torturous. And those who end up in prison would be given such pills and make them suffer, and then they would be prevented from dying. Then after they recover a little, they would be exposed to the environment once again.

This is the torture that those who committed crimes in the towns or cities would suffer.

Plus the clans like to use such kinds of torture.

And now, the eyes of Kevin Gart are saying the same thing. He wanted that young peasant to know his rightful place and not to offend him. He would do this over and over until that person's sanity would be gone. This way he would be able to vent that anger in his heart.

Meanwhile, the commander of the group did not notice the reaction of Kevin Gart as his focus is on the loot he could get from that young man.

As the group drew deeper into the forest, the hound suddenly became cautious and did not casually run around. This time it stayed near the humans while trying to find the right direction of the scent.



Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is already ready to fire an arrow towards the turtle. When he saw that the liquid has already started to take effect, he did not hesitate and pulled the trigger.

Then he grinned at the turtle while it looked him straight in the eyes.

The turtle felt threatened and wanted to dodge its head. However, it suddenly discovers that its neck is unable to move.

Its eyes suddenly went wide in disbelief.

Boom!

A loud explosion suddenly sent a strong shockwave which forcefully swings the turtle's long neck upwards creating a loud cracking sound and made the giant turtle dizzy.

Then everyone who is looking at this scene had a dumbfounded look on their faces.

Shin Jiao did not linger and hesitate as he suddenly ran towards the back of the turtle. Then with another bolt from his crossbow, a loud explosion was heard from the turtle's back.

Shin Jiao's eyes are shining upon seeing an object suddenly flying out. He did not hesitate and immediately ran to catch that object. After catching the half a meter long scale, he also discovers another scale on the ground and immediately grabs it before running deeper into the forest.

Shin Jiao dare not linger in that place as he didn't know any of those people and if they are good or bad. And so he escaped after getting his hands on his target.

Meanwhile, the humans who are surrounding the turtle immediately realized what is happening, and used all of their most powerful attacks against the immobile giant creature.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roar!

Those are the things that Shin Jiao could hear as his figure flashed deeper into the forest.

Not long later, it's either he is already too far from that place or that the beast is already dead, as he could not hear any sounds coming from that area anymore.

Shin Jiao is panting a little bit then found himself a huge tree with a hollowed root under. He then created an opening under the tree and hollowed a small room big enough for him to be able to squat. After doing that, he walked out and began erasing his trail and even used some herbs to erase his scent. He has already known that some shadow beast could sniff out his trail. So he has prepared for this.

Once he came back inside, he turns on the small lamp which he copied from the house of Frances Jill as that lamp seems to be stuck with the house and is not movable.

After he prepares his stuff, he began checking the material of the beast scale. When he slowly analyzes its composition, Shin Jiao was a bit stunned. Although the scale looks normal on the outside, Shin Jiao could see natural tiny rune arrays deep in it.

"So this is the reason why the scales and shell of the turtle are impervious to the energy attacks. But right now, I still cannot understand these array runes. These kinds of runes are more complicated than I thought." Shin Jiao thought as he continues to study the scale.

As he was doing so, unknown to him a week have already passed and he was too engrossed in the runes of the shell.

Shin Jiao just stopped studying as he soon discovers that he is out of food.

�����I need to harvest more edible food, then come back and continue studying."

Shin Jiao has already created a temporary armor using that scale and the black sludge. Using the black sludge as cement and waiting for it to harden while forming it into a piece of dark plate armor with the scale as its b.r.e.a.s.tplate, Shin Jiao was able to craft his very own strong armor.

After keeping everything inside his temporary hideout and taking only important things, Shin Jiao carefully crept out of the tree roots.

"It's been a week already. I hope that no one would try to find me anymore." Shin Jiao said as he began rummaging through the forest.

Not long later, he was able to harvest enough food to last him for a time. Even his backpack is filled with it. Plus he has also gained a couple of energy core from those stupid shadow beasts that dare attack him.

As he was about to go back, Shin Jiao suddenly froze in place as he discovered some people hiding in different corners of the area he is in. They are actually trying to box him in and trap him.

Luckily he is able to spread his psychokinesis and use it as a method to detect movement.

When Shin Jiao was about to run, a figure suddenly jumped out of a tall tree.

"Wait! Don't run! We mean you no harm!" said a tall young man with silver armor.

The young man wore a pleasant smile on his face upon seeing Shin Jiao.

"I knew you were not ordinary. You are even able to detect our presence… amazing!" he said with a hint of admiration in his tone.

"I was not as gutsy are you are when I first arrive in this place."

Shin Jiao just stood in his place while eating a fruit-like object. When the other who has also come out saw what he is eating their expression turned a little confused.

They are a bit familiar with that fruit. However, that kind of fruit is poisonous. So they showed a faint sneer on their faces.

The young man also noticed this and showed a faint smile on his face as he pointed at the fruit on Shin Jiao's hand.

"My friend, I think what you are eating is not good for you."

Shin Jiao raised an eyebrow and looks at the fruit that looks like palm-sized green guava in his hand. He didn't bother answering and just continue taking big bites on the fruit and then eventually swallow it.

The four people around him showed different reactions on their faces. But what Shin Jiao noticed is the killing intent being directed towards him by a certain young man among the group.

"If I am not wrong, you are protectors, right? What are four outstanding protectors doing in this forest laying an ambush trap to a peasant like myself?"

Upon hearing his words, the expression of the group changed.

The young man standing in front of him who is the commander of the group suddenly showed a faint smile.

"We are just here to fetch you. We want you to come with us to the town and see if you can enter the clans as a servant."

Upon hearing their commander's words, Kevin Gart's expression turned ugly. This was not their goal. Their excuse was to tell the town that they tried taking an outstanding servant for the clan, that's why they are late.

However, their goal is to capture that guy and make him spit out the secret of the sludge, plus get those energy core from his hands.

The reason why they stayed in this place for a week is that within this area is where that scent was lost. Hence they have been staying in these parts waiting. And then they have accidentally discovered a figure suddenly appearing out of nowhere and easily killing shadow beasts.

Upon seeing that, they dare not go near but instead waited in silence and in secret.

But who would have known that they would be discovered by this rogue peasant?

When Shin Jiao heard the words of that young man and the killing intent coming from one of them and also feeling some unkind gazes from another with a huge dog beside him, he knew that these people do not mean well.
