Jacob was pleased with Immortika's answer. He suddenly thought of something and asked with uncertainty, "Can you tell me more about those two giants and the third person with them? Consider it me asking about what tier they belong to."

The writing change,

"Hehe, if you asked me directly, I won't be able to answer, but since you put the question in the right way, I can naturally tell you about them.

"The big logs were from the Giant race branch called Mountain Giant Race, and they're supposed to be the 9th tier, but just as that goblin, their bloodline has declined, and they're currently at 7th tier.

"They had physical bodies as strong as rocks. As for how strong, only a 5 mm bullet can penetrate their skin, you can get the idea from this.

"As for the third one, hehehe, you're going to like this one, I'm sure of it, that was another goblin. And pretty sure he was the one who found that shithole, Hahahaha…"

Jacob's face clouded the moment he read the word 'goblin' and gritted his teeth in frustration. He didn't know if he had some kind of ominous affinity with goblins or grudge, but these bastards keep making his life difficult. He even felt like destroying the entire race when he had power.

Immortika continued playfully.

"That goblin was a Bronze Goblin, and a tier-4 one at that. If he was at tier-6, I'm afraid he would've heard your footsteps in that rain and your escape will be impossible.

"A bronze goblin had a very high hearing and their vision is very close to an infrared vision of a snake but not as good as one. However, they had a very keen sense, and they are very good at scouting and finding people. Now you understand how you were found? Hahaha…"

"Fuck, it was really that smoke!" Jacob cussed with a perplexed expression.

Although his guess was right. But was still infuriated about how another goblin fucked him up, and this one seemed to be even more dangerous than Decker.

"Wait a moment, did you know I was already being watched but still didn't warn me?!" Jacob finally notice this point and coldly questioned.

"I told you I can't save you even if you're about to die, and you're on your own. Furthermore, I'm not an alarm clock nor can babysit you all the time, so deal with your problems. Besides, don't forget, I can only answer your questions related to scripture!"

Jacob naturally didn't believe the last words and rebutted coldly, "You just enjoy watching me suffer, don't you? And stop that bullshit about not speaking without my questions. We both know it's a white fucking lie!"

"Hehehe, so what?"

A vein popped up on Jacob's forehead, and he couldn't help but berated, "Fucking bastard, if I died, I'll make sure to take you down with me." And close the annoying book.

He sighed helplessly afterward. "Even though this book is hateful and unreliable, I still need it to achieve immortality, and it's a fact that I'll just die without it. But every time it speaks I want to burn it, how infuriated. Well, at least now I know who's after me."

Jacob peeked outside, and the rain has slowed down substantially. He mused it won't be long before it stopped, but the sky was still dark, so he waited until dawn before continuing his journey.

Now, he knew his enemy can see heat signatures, so he had to be careful and hide his tracks, or he won't know when those two giants will ambush him.

---

Just like that, a week pass since Jacob had fled from his hideout and he didn't know where he was or where he was heading.

But he was careful in his way and he was 90% sure he didn't leave any traces and now if those giants or goblins find him they can't connect him with Decker's hideout, and he could simply play a helpless human lost in this vast mountain range.

However, he still preferred not to confront them because they can easily kill him on a whim, and he won't be able to escape those giants pursued either. He wasn't worried about the goblin at all if he was alone.

One thing worth mentioning was that he encountered some animals and even hunt two uncommon animals on his fifth and seventh days.

But because he only had one last container to collect their heart and blood, he felt extremely regretful. Now, he was only focusing on building his body, and with every hunt and meal, he grew stronger, and he still wasn't done.

Jacob also notice as he moved in this particular direction that the animals were becoming weaker and weaker, that he even encountered common specie. He mused he might be close to the exit.

As for Pig Head, he had greatly wilted from his burly self and Jacob was completely helpless because he didn't know how to nurture him without those liquids he simply didn't eat or drink normally even after he tried to feed him meat, even blood.

But it just continued to wither with each passing day, and Jacob was afraid that Pig Head might perish before he could find an exit. Although he still had one last bottle of black liquid, he was saving it for himself, all this time in an emergency.

Pig Head was completely disposable while his life wasn't and if he felt into some trouble, he could run alone and faster now.

Time continued to pass and Jacob has been wandering in these mountain ranges for over three months now.

On this particular day,

"Boom…"

Jacob, who was sitting on a large tree branch, suddenly heard an extremely familiar sound that he would not forget, even if he had forgotten everything. He had heard this sound countless times and for the better half of his life.

His amber eyes flickered in serendipity and there was also a hint of elation as he mumbled, "A gunshot!"
