Chapter 905

(Unedited)



A week has passed and Shin Jiao has not left the underground cavern of the ruined Great White Tower of Dugal. That young woman who told him about the portal is actually a formation expert from the City of Anxin in the Long Clan territory. She accidentally fell in this place after fighting against a horde of Shadow beasts, and this happened when their convoy was attacked while returning to the city.

Her name is Wuxian Fan, and because she looks a bit thin and messy Xiamen Gong was not able to recognize her. However, two days later after she has cleaned herself up and has somewhat worn nice clothes, he was able to somewhat recognize her.

As someone who always roams around the Long Clan territory, Xiamen Gong and Axle Long know a lot of people. And Wuxian Fan is one of those people they knew.

Fan Muxing whom Shin Jiao called out first at that time also began to explain how that portal works along with Wuxian Fan. Fan Muxing is an alchemist and is also familiar with runes and arrays however his knowledge is not as adept as Wuxian Fan.

After those two explained everything to Shin Jiao, he let them return to Central Town. Although it is not his duty to help these people, yet he could not help but give them a helping hand. It was like his subconscious d.e.s.i.r.e.

Meanwhile, he stayed inside the underground cavern and began learning about the portal.

It took him a week before he was able to decipher the array on the floor.

"This type of portal needed the blood of immortals to activate..." he muttered as he has finished analyzing everything.

"I guess this is the reason why most of those people have lost their will to survive. They have suffered too much in the hands of the mages and the portal has taken away too much of their blood essence." He muttered as he cut a portion of his blood and drip it on the array.

Wam!!!

The portal lights up and the whole place seems to have vibrated.

Wang! Wang! Wang!

"So this is the portal? Or should I say a hybrid teleportation gate…" Shin Jiao said as he watches the black hole in the middle.

Then a picture of the outside world appears which made Shin Jiao frown.

"It that a cabin?" he muttered.

The familiar structure of the cabin made Shin Jiao feel a bit confused. This is because right in front of his face is the familiar cabin of a peasant in a peasant's village.

"Hmm… How could they abduct a peasant when peasants are nascent realm experts themselves…" he thinks for a bit.

"The beguiling stone?" he thought for a while and arrives at this conclusion.

This is because he had seen that in this cave there are thumb-sized beguiling stones. He did not know what their use is for but after checking the contraptions in the cavern, he arrives at an idea of how these mages were able to abduct those immortals.

But of course, the danger and hardship in going to and fro in the portal is not that simple. Plus he also knows that these mages are not the ones who made this portal. It is too complicated for any of them to understand. And traces of usage of universal energy are indicated in this array, that's why he knew that no ordinary mage could have created such an array.

As Shin Jiao observes the portal, he soon noticed that it slowly becomes dim and the array deactivates.

"So a drop of my blood could last about 60 seconds for the portal to hold. Hmm… What if…" Shin Jiao began thinking of many possibilities and ways on how to maintain the portal. However, he would not divulge such a thing first.

This is because he has noticed that using his blood can open the portal, however, he could also feel that it is not a complete opening. There are still some things that he has not figured out yet.



Meanwhile, this week, the construction of the new station has already started in the city. Plus the problem with the mages seems to have been escalating as the mages became a bit hostile to the soldiers and the people from Mystique Shop.

There are small skirmishes that would happen every now and then but the mages are the ones who would always suffer and would run in defeat.

And because of this, the whole city became a bit wary of the situation between the mages and the soldiers.

At this time, Shin Jiao walks out of the underground cavern and he sealed the whole place up. He would return to his work on the portal after he finished taking care of and checks the new station.

Soon he arrives in the central plaza of the town and saw a bustling environment.

"It seems that the TVs have arrived in this place already." He muttered to himself upon seeing a shop selling different sizes of a flat-screen TV.

The price seems a bit expensive, but many are lining to buy one. Inside the store, a television program is showing.

There are two people, a male, and a female, the male is wearing formal clothing which made him look like nobles in the European Middle Ages era, while the female is wearing a light blue cultivator's gown.

Shin Jiao is already used to seeing the diverse culture in this place, so their attire is not new to him. But what they are doing right now made him feel a bit of admiration for the program director.

After a few training and practice, these people have already become adept at using the camera and producing such a wonderful sight.

It was a bit crude like in the '80s but it is already good enough.

Shin Jiao decided to listen to the news along with the people.

"... the guy who enters the forest is now missing. But his companion was able to escape. Let's listen to the survivor…" the male host said.

The camera displays a man with many wounds on his body. His leather armor is already in tatters but his eyes are glowing with a hint of excitement.

"Sir, can you tell us what happened in the forest?" the correspondent asked.

The man looks a bit nervous when he heard the question, but one could also tell that he seems excited.

"Can… Can I be seen on that thing… that TV thingy?" he asked with a hint of hesitation and excitement in his eyes.

"Yes… You are live on TV…"

"Really! Hehe… Hello, mother! Hello wife! This is your husband! Can you see me! Hehehe…" the man said while waving his hand on the camera like a fool.

The viewers who are seeing this scene chuckled at the man's antics. They found his innocence and foolish action a bit amusing.

"Sir… So what happened in the forest?" the reporter asked once again.

The man straightened his body and then his expression turned serious this time.

"We have entered the Dragon's Ridge… you know that place is very dangerous but once you came back from there you can get a large harvest of aged herbs and mystical items, right?... But who would have known that after venturing a few kilometers from our entry point to the Dragon's Ridge, we accidentally saw a ruined base? Then after we walked inside, we found many corpses littered on the ground. Those are corpses of beasts, orcs, trolls, and other races… plus the flag of the Scavengers are hanging in the air… after we saw that we decided to run as fast as we could… But we soon found out that there are some beats lurking in the shadows and suddenly ambushed my group…" the man said animatedly.

"Scavengers… you mean you guys discovered the lair of the Scavengers? But how did you survive?" the reporter asked with a hint of dread in his eyes.

"That's because the Scavengers are all dead… However, there are beasts that seem to be fighting over the corpses in that place." He said while his body began to tremble.

"So those beasts are the ones who killed your team?"

"Yes… I was lucky to have escaped… But I was still wounded badly." the man said as he showed his heavily bandaged body.

Meanwhile, inside the elven kingdom…

In a luxurious-looking room, a flat-screen TV is currently showing the news and a handsome elegant looking elf showed deep thinking.

"It seems that the Scavengers were wiped out by an unknown force… Who are they? And how were they able to kill those pests…" he muttered while looking at the TV screen.

This news has already spread in the whole of Dragon's ridge, and many scouts are being mobilized by different races who are the locals of the Dragon's Ridge.
