Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution - Chapter 138
Chapter 138: Chapter 138: The Giant Tree
The spectators outside were all bulging their eyes, they only saw the liquid explode, and then the Ice Crystal Wall was blasted to pieces.
“What the hell is this? The playboy blew up the Ice Crystal Wall with a single shot!”
“The playboy is cheating, how much did he pay the GM? This proves again that Realm King Planet doesn’t really exist, it’s just a virtual game.”
“Did the playboy use his Money Ability or what? Isn’t anyone going to manage this blatant cheating?”
“Steel Level completely outperformed Crystal Base, being rich really lets you play like this!”
“Does anyone still think Ouyang Yudu and The Great Red Bull Knight are strong? My playboy is the real Pioneer of Base Mutation.”
Everyone who saw this scene blew up, and even many Ascenders were stunned by the power of this strike.
Not to mention Steel Level, even Crystal Base Level couldn’t possibly have such explosive strength.
However, they were only eyeballing, unable to judge just how powerful this force really was.
“That playboy, could he have some secret potion from a major universe clan on him?” many big family members started to doubt Lin Shen’s background.
The trapped Mutators were both shocked and elated, trying to stabilize themselves and rush out through the hole blasted by Lin Shen.
But the air currents inside mixed with the liquid, tossing them around so much they couldn’t even stand, let alone rush out.
At the same time, that sensation of rapidly falling made them even more terrified.
Boom!
Another loud noise. The falling space seemed to have smashed into something, causing the liquid and Mutators inside to collide wildly, completely unable to control their bodies.
After a while, things finally stabilized, and the people saw light coming through the broken hole and were astonished beyond belief. They didn’t care about their injuries and one by one tried to crawl toward the hole.
Tu Xiaodao pulled Lin Shen out as well. After dozens of people crawled out, aside from some who were corroded by the liquid and screamed on the ground, the others were dumbstruck by the scene in front of them.
It was different from what they had imagined; they weren’t inside the belly of a Base Variant Creature.
Instead, they faced a giant white jade tree towering out of sight. The tree trunk resembled white jade and the leaves were like frost.
Among the enormous canopy, there grew gigantic Ice Crystal Fruits, each unimaginably huge.
The space they had been trapped in was actually inside an Ice Crystal Fruit; the fallen fruit was still next to them.
The open end of the fruit was where it connected to a branch. Lin Shen’s strike had severed that connection and the gigantic fruit had fallen from above.
Faced with such a miraculous tree, they had never seen anything like it; each one of them was shocked by the scene before them.
“I’m sorry, I damaged this gun; I’ll compensate you with a new one,” Lin Shen said to the Crystal Base of the Sword Alliance.
The force was too strong, and the gun’s head shattered on impact while the barrel also developed cracks. Although it hadn’t shattered, it couldn’t withstand another heavy blow, practically as good as broken.
But that Crystal Base quickly shook his head, took the cracked broken gun, and smilingly said, “No, no need to compensate, this is fine. I will keep this gun as a collection, I could brag about it for a lifetime.”
“Shen, that was explosive,” Xu Tiange came over and gave Lin Shen a thumbs up.
Tu Xiaodao stared at Lin Shen, his heart filled with surprise and uncertainty, “Has ‘Talent Theory’ actually become this powerful? I underestimated ‘Talent Theory’ before. Even some of the newly ascended Ascenders probably can’t reach this level of strength, right? It seems I need to work even harder, but how can I, to possess such power? It seems impossible for someone at the Crystal Base Level to have such strength…”
The members of the Sword Alliance also looked at Lin Shen with complex expressions, both amazed and fearful of the power of that spear thrust.
“Lin, we really owe you one this time. Otherwise, we would have probably met with disaster. All of us owe you our lives. If there’s ever anything we can help you with in the future, just say the word,” Zuo Qinglong said earnestly as he approached.
“Right, Brother Lin, if you ever need anything, the Sword Alliance will definitely support you with all our might,” Zuo Qingmeng followed, excitedly speaking and looking at Lin Shen with stars in her eyes, thinking to herself, “Those who have mastered ‘Talent Theory’ really are different.”
Not just Zuo Qingmeng, now many others were also convinced that Lin Shen had mastered “Talent Theory.” Otherwise, how could he have unleashed such a terrifying blow?
“Then I won’t be polite. I’ll be troubling you all in the future,” Lin Shen replied. Having more friends meant more options. He was a pacifist; if it was possible to avoid fighting and killing, it was better not to engage.
Moreover, the power of the Sacrificial Halo had already been used up. Now without this trump card, having the members of the Sword Alliance to watch over him on the road was better than going it alone.
Seeing how approachable Lin Shen was, the members of the Sword Alliance felt even closer to him.
“Does anyone know what kind of tree this is?” Lin Shen examined the towering tree, from which liquid was still dripping at the broken section.
“Such a huge tree, we have never heard of it,” the crowd shook their heads, including the experienced Zuo Qinglong who had never heard of the origins of this giant tree.
Fortunately, there were no Base Variant Creatures in the vicinity, and the people from both the Sword Alliance and the Xu Family began treating their wounded.
Twenty or thirty people had suffered corrosion injuries, with a few particularly severe cases showing serious corrosion in multiple areas of their bodies. Ordinary medicines were hardly effective, and the wounds had to be washed repeatedly with medical fluids.
Lin Shen surveyed his surroundings, this giant tree emitting a cold aura was actually growing in a colorful desert.
The sand of this desert contained brightly colored grains, making it look very beautiful.
“It seems we’ve been teleported to an unfamiliar area. I think we should set up camp here first, send someone to scout the surrounding area, and then make further plans. What do you think, Brother Lin?” Zuo Qinglong discussed with Lin Shen and others.
“Sounds good,” Lin Shen naturally had no objections. Having come to such an unfamiliar environment, he didn’t want to take risks by wandering around recklessly.
The area around the tree seemed temporarily safe.
After discussing, everyone set up camp near the tree, but most people’s backpacks were corroded by the liquid, and they only managed to put together a few tattered tents.
Zuo Qinglong even reserved a tent especially for Lin Shen, and no one else objected.
Zuo Qinglong sent a few people to survey the surroundings, while he and others examined the fruit that had fallen.
The material of the fruit itself was very special; even weapons wielded by those at the Crystal Base Level couldn’t leave a scratch. As long as they could take these materials back, even without any other gains, the trip would not be considered a loss.
Moreover, there were still many huge fruits on the tree. If they could bring them all down, their value was immeasurable.
The main reason Zuo Qinglong suggested setting up camp here was also because of this consideration.
But the fruits were too tough, and it wouldn’t be easy to bring them down from the tree.
Some thought of targeting the tree itself, only to discover that the trunk of the tree was even harder than the fruits.
While the fruits were only tough, the trunk of the tree was incredibly hard. The strength of someone at the Crystal Base Level was insufficient to damage it, let alone chop down the mighty tree and take it away.
