Cursed Immortality-Novel

Chapter 474 Flame Iron Giant

Jacob and Geko crawled on their hands in the snow with grave expressions. Although Jacob's plan worked as they no longer were attacked by arrows, this was still not a definite solution to their problem. 

This way, they are in even more danger because of the snow monsters in the vicinity, and now someone is trying to kill them sneakily. 

Jacob also had a way of fishing out the attacker and even killing him, but by doing so, he would be revealing his hand too soon, and his weaponry was quite eye-catching, to boot. 

That's why he hasn't taken action yet, but it didn't mean he was helpless, and right at this moment, the mask on his face suddenly switched. However, the mask appeared the same with the difference in the eye sockets as they were made with rainbow-colored glass. 

Jacob coldly said in a hushed tone, "Alright, calm down. Let me see if the attacker is still chasing us." 

"What? You have a way to pinpoint the bastard?" Geko was baffled before killing intent surfaced in his eyes, "I'll keep watch then. Just tell me the location, and that bastard is dead!" 

In all his life, he had never stooped to the level of crawling to save his life. This was enough to make Geko hate that person to the core who forced him to take such a humiliating action. 

Jacob didn't pay him any more mind and slowly popped his head like a rabbit, and now he could see all sorts of heat signatures. In this kind of environment, this type of equipment could decide life and death. 

The only problem was that he couldn't use it against those damnable snow monsters as they didn't emit any hint of heat signature at all like they were made with ice blood.

But it couldn't be said for others. Even Geko, who was a cold-blooded species, couldn't hide from his vision. 

At this moment, Jacob suddenly spotted a red spot in infrared, and it was completely visible because there was nothing but ice around them.  ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ (f)ir(e).nᴇt

'Found you…' He coldly looked at the faint red smock rising, which was the sign of breathing. 

Furthermore, that person wasn't moving at all, clearly not willing to take the risk of revealing his position, and he might still be expecting that Jacob and Geko might appear again. 

Jacob then thought about something before he said, "I found him." 

"What?! Where?" Geko's astounded voice sounded as if he had never expected Jacob to find their assailant so swiftly. 

"He's approximately 1200 feet away from us at 4 o'clock. If we rush toward him, we'll become ducks to be shot down, and the moment he senses danger, this will spook him, and he'll escape. If you want to kill this person, we have to do it sneakily." Jacob stated as he glared at the red point. 

"You're not suggesting we crawl on him?" Geko asked with pursed lips as he didn't like this plan. 

"Do you have a better plan? And for your information, I'm not going with you if you're not going to be discreet. I'm not interested in killing this guy anyway. It's too risky. Instead, let's escape, and now that we know his position, he won't be able to ambush us." Jacob coldly declared. 

Geko's eyes narrowed, "You're kidding, right? That bastard will haunt us if we don't do something. With those furry bastards after us, this is nothing but suicide." 

Jacob's eyes flashed a peculiar glint as if he was waiting for those exact words, "Alright, then, how about we crawl toward him for 1000 hundred feet and then charge from two different directions? With our top seeped, it will only take a few seconds to narrow the distance between us. Of course, we have to avoid getting killed first. But this is the only fastest way to take our opponent by surprise." 

"Tsk, we just have to crawl, huh? Alright, you win, but that bastard head is mine!" Geko had no choice but to agree since he didn't want to look over his shoulder constantly. 

After both of them made their decision, they started to make their way toward the attacker while keeping a fifty-meter distance between them.

Although Geko couldn't see the attacker, he could easily follow Jacob's direction, and when he saw Jacob appearing, it was a signal for him to initiate the attack as well. 

Half an hour passed, and Jacob was still surprised because the target hadn't moved a bit, and he had to admit this guy was really patient. 

Furthermore, it was about time to initiate their attack, as Geko should be in position as well. 

Jacob wanted to surprise the other party, and he had a few tricks up his sleeve to block the onslaught of those crossbow bolts. 

Right at this moment, Jacob suddenly lunged toward the attacker while kicking the solid ice, leaving behind cracks on it. Like a bolt of black lightning, his speed was instantly fast, and the surrounding snow wasn't slowing him down a bit. 

Geko emerged a second late after Jacob, and his speed wasn't inferior to Jacob in the least. 

Jacob was ready to retaliate at a moment's notice when suddenly something strange happened. He saw the attacker didn't use the crossbow at all. Instead, he seemed to be standing up. 

Just when both of them were about thirty meters away to assault the attacker, and their weapons were already in their hand, a giant hourglass figure suddenly emerged from the snow. 

She was a 4'1-meter-tall giant with metallic skin, gorgeous features, and an hourglass figure tightly wrapped in soft white leather armor, and her fiery red long hair was bound in a ponytail. Her intelligent, alacritous eyes were locked on Jacob, and her pink lips were curved in an amusing grin. There was also a red birthmark like a flame between her eyebrows.

With her slender hand held high in surrender, her lips parted, and her crisp voice sounded, "Alright, you, Sirs, have bested me." 

Jacob was startled by this unexpected turn of events while Geko's eyes went wide in horror as if he had seen a ghost when he saw the giant woman, and his charge instantly came to a halt. 

Jacob naturally noticed Geko's strange reaction and decided to stop as well. He frowningly looked at pale Geko for an explanation. 

Geko looked at the charming giant with a smile and blurted in horror, "Flame Iron Giant?! T-that birthmark, a-are you Gatling Flame Lady Charlotte!?" 

Now it was Jacob's turn to be astonished when he heard 'Flame Iron Giant' because this was the name of the same giant tribe that the Alliance Chairman Gunnar hailed from!
