Chapter 137: Chapter 137: A Gun Pierces the Wall

“`

Zuo Qinglong this time summoned a Crystal Base sword shield warrior pet, and arrived at the rift. The rock crystal sword in his hand stabbed fiercely towards the center point.

Everyone was ready. As soon as the entrance opened, they would immediately push against the liquid backflow and rush out.

The rock crystal sword stabbed hard into the center point of the crack, and unexpectedly, this time the rift did not open and become an entrance.

Everyone was taken aback, and Zuo Qinglong was even more urgently urging the sword shield warrior to keep thrusting his sword, but the outcome was the same—the rift showed no sign of opening.

“We’re finished!” At this moment, everyone felt an immense sense of despair in their hearts.

If the rift did not open, they were without even a sliver of hope. Unable to break out, everyone would die here.

No one spoke, only the sword shield warrior kept stabbing with his sword, and the oppressive atmosphere made it somewhat suffocating.

Not just the trapped Mutators, but also the people outside watching the footage felt like they forgot to breathe, eyeing the images inside the cave.

Ye Yuzhen’s face was as white as a sheet, afraid that Lin Shen would die inside.

The people at the Sword Alliance base were all solemn-faced, with the Ascenders seated in the command positions looking particularly ghastly.

Among the group of Mutators, apart from Zuo Qinglong and Zuo Qingmeng, there were several other young people who were being intensively trained.

If all of them died inside, it might not have a significant impact on the Sword Alliance now, but in a few years, when the new generation of young people grew up, it would be very difficult for the Sword Alliance to compete with other powers.

The patriarch of the Xu Family was even paler, as Xu Tiange was the successor he was grooming. If he died inside, the blow to the Xu Family would be too great.

“Lin Shen, you little bastard, you promised me you wouldn’t take risks anymore.” Lin Miao pointed at the sky and cursed, one hand on her heart. She felt her heart wrenching painfully, an unbearable agony.

Inside the space, Lin Shen frowned as he watched the sword shield warrior’s repeated futile thrusts, knowing that if this continued, they were likely all going to die here.

“Brother Zuo, let the sword shield warrior step back for a bit. I’ll give it a try,” Lin Shen said, approaching Zuo Qinglong.

Zuo Qinglong looked at Lin Shen. Although he didn’t know what Lin Shen was planning to do, at this point even the slightest hope was worth a try.

Everyone also turned their attention to Lin Shen. Although he was only a Steel Level, the title of a playboy still had some weight.

They all knew that Lin Shen had a very high-level pet launcher, and although they didn’t think a pet launcher could do much in this situation, they still hoped he could succeed.

Lin Shen did not take out the Angel Revolver, although it was loaded with several mutated crystal base pets. He knew clearly that even with the Angel Revolver’s firing rate, the mutated crystal base pets inside could not possibly penetrate the strange ice crystal wall.

“Could I borrow your gun for a moment?” Lin Shen moved through the liquid to a Crystal Base powerhouse of the Sword Alliance, pointing at the red crystal long spear on his back and asking.

“Sure.” Without hesitation, the Crystal Base powerhouse still handed the red crystal long spear over to Lin Shen, although he did not know what Lin Shen wanted to do.

The weight of the red crystal long spear was comparable to a trident, and its tip was exceptionally sharp.

Everybody watched Lin Shen, curious about what he was going to do.

Lin Shen lifted the long spear out of the water, swung it a couple of times, getting a feel for its weight, then took the spear to the front of the rift. Taking a deep breath, he completely submerged himself in the liquid.

Since most of the rift was submerged in the liquid, if Lin Shen wanted to hit the center point, he had to thrust the spear while in the liquid.

Seeing Lin Shen attempting to operate the spear and stab at the ice crystal wall in the liquid, everyone couldn’t help but shake their heads.

“`

They didn’t think Lin Shen was weak; in fact, they considered him very strong, but that strength was attributed to his Angel Revolver, not his inherent power.

In terms of inherent strength, every single person here was confident they surpassed Lin Shen.

The Ice Crystal Wall, that even a full-force attack from a Crystal Base Level could not breach, what use would he be, a Steel Level, even if he wielded a spear made of Crystal Base material?

“What’s the playboy doing? He can’t seriously believe his strength can break through the Ice Crystal Wall, can he?”

“He should try using his Pet Launcher along with a Mutated Crystal Base pet, there might be a slim chance then.”

“When one’s life is threatened, it’s normal to act irrationally.”

Many felt Lin Shen’s action was irrational. Instead of wasting time, it would be better to let other Crystal Base Powerhouses try.

But what they hadn’t considered was, if it was doable for a Crystal Base, Zuo Qinglong and the others wouldn’t just stand by watching Lin Shen make a move.

Lin Shen’s entire body submerged into the liquid, tiny bubbles continuously forming on his carapace.

He assumed the stance Wei Wufu had taught him, then with one hand holding the Red Crystal Long Spear, he made a couple of gestures towards the cracked Ice Crystal Wall.

“For fuck’s sake, he’s still holding the spear one-handed. Even now, can you quit showing off, please?” someone muttered upon seeing this scene.

“Death is but a moment, but being suave is for a lifetime. The playboy truly is a role model for our generation.”

“Elegant, truly too elegant. Regardless of if it works or not, at least he’s maxed out on style.”

Even the Mutators being trapped felt Lin Shen was overdoing it. At such a crucial time, he was still striking poses.

“You know shit, Shen’s action must have a profound purpose,” Xu Tiange scolded upon hearing his subordinates mutter, jumping in immediately.

It wasn’t just to defend Lin Shen; mainly it was because if Lin Shen failed, they’d be even more hopeless.

Tu Xiaodao watched Lin Shen intently, thinking to himself, “Is he going to use Gift Theory now? What ingenious application of Gift Theory could enable him to break through this Ice Crystal Wall that even Crystal Base strength can’t open?”

Lin Shen didn’t want to hold the spear single-handedly, the problem was that he had only practiced this one move. Only with this stance could he unleash his strongest power. With both hands on the spear, he wouldn’t even know how to exert force.

Having assumed the position, Lin Shen gripped the Red Crystal Long Spear tightly, and suddenly exerted strength, thrusting the spear towards the crack in the Ice Crystal Wall.

With this strike, he used up all the accumulated power of the Sacrificial Halo. With nearly sixty Attribute points amassed in the Sacrificial Halo, plus his own 19 points of Strength, this strike’s power reached a startling 79.

The moment the spear thrust forth, a faint red halo radiated from it, the glow of the Sacrificial Halo.

Boom!

The liquid surrounding them was violently displaced by the immense strength of the spear thrust, like an explosion spreading outwards, throwing the entire space into chaos.

The liquid churned, and Zuo Qinglong and others were knocked about haphazardly by the surging liquid, crashing into the Ice Crystal Wall.

The heavily cracked Ice Crystal Wall was blown apart by Lin Shen’s piercing strike, completely shattering.

With a thunderous roar, the entire space suddenly plummeted downward.
