Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Leave After Firing This Shot (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Almost at the moment the Gold Armored Sea Demon crossed its arms holding the trident to block the charge of the Gold Crystal Horned Cow, the Red Jade Lion leapt from behind the Gold Crystal Horned Cow, and in an instant, pounced on the Gold Armored Sea Demon. The lion’s paw, endowed with the Claw Rending Innate Skill, swiped toward the Gold Armored Sea Demon’s head like a gust of wind.
“Got it.”
“Should’ve done this earlier.”
“With such powerful Crystal Base pets, what were you dilly-dallying for all this time.”
“The Red Jade Lion and the Gold Crystal Horned Cow are among the top pets in the Crystal Base Level, one an attacker, the other a tank. They were always a perfect match.”
People watching from around the world seemed to have already visualized the scene of the Gold Armored Sea Demon’s head being torn apart.
With the restraint from the Gold Crystal Horned Cow, the Gold Armored Sea Demon no longer had the spare energy or means to fend off the Red Jade Lion’s assault.
“Not good,” said Wei Wufu, who was watching the battle with Lin Shen in a grove of trees.
Inside the Ye Family’s castle, Ye Yuzhen, also watching the battle, slightly shook his head: “Lu Qing is still too impatient.”
A flash of golden light in the Gold Armored Sea Demon’s eyes, and its legs split apart, rooting into the sand like two immovable sea stakes, the hands clutching the trident suddenly burst forth with terrifying strength.
With a frightened bellow from the cow, the trident, forked against the cow’s horns, forcefully flipped them over. The blades of the trident, now standing upright, stabbed into the underbelly of the Red Jade Lion as it pounced down.
The Red Jade Lion, pouncing violently down, essentially rammed its belly onto the blades. More than half of the foot-long blade penetrated through.
With a swing of the trident, the Gold Armored Sea Demon flung the Red Jade Lion up, then smashed it heavily onto the sand.
“Impossible!” Xu Tiange cried out in shock.
Among those watching the battle, many also cried out.
The strength of the Gold Crystal Horned Cow was already at the top among Crystal Base creatures. Even a Crystal Base creature with a full 40 units of Strength couldn’t be much stronger than it, so it shouldn’t have been flipped over so easily.
“Unless… that’s not a normal Crystal Base… but a Mutated Crystal Base…” The possibility struck Xu Tiange, and his face turned very ugly. He regretted taking the initiative without consulting Lin Shen.
The Red Jade Lion was seriously injured, and Lu Qing was filled with regret, but there was no time left for them to dwell on their regrets.
The Gold Crystal Horned Cow got up and charged again at the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon. Xu Tiange knew that if the Red Jade Lion died, the Gold Crystal Horned Cow would be no match, and their deaths would only be more tragic.
Facing the charging Gold Crystal Horned Cow, the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon suddenly dodged backwards, avoiding the strike of the horns, the trident that had been embedded in the Red Jade Lion’s belly was also retracted.
The Red Jade Lion got up, Base Mutation Fluid leaking from its belly. Lu Qing didn’t dare to recall it and could only let it continue to fight.
The battle between the two Crystal Base pets and the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon wasn’t looking promising.
“It’s over, that’s a Mutated Crystal Base. Where on earth are they, how come there are so many mutated creatures? This is already the second Mutated Crystal Base to appear, right?”
“The second one already. The previous Mutated Crystal Base killed that Alloy duo completely.”
“So far, two Mutated Crystal Bases and two Mutant Alloys have appeared, along with seven or eight Mutant Steels. I really want to know where that place is. If one has enough strength, it would be paradise for a Mutator!”
“Paradise my ass, for those four people there, it’s hell right now. The two Crystal Base pets won’t last long, and what awaits them next is a merciless slaughter.”
Even the great families of some Super-Bases were extremely shocked at the moment.
Many of them had been to many other planets, some of which did indeed have a much higher rate of mutant creatures, but such a high mutation rate they had never seen before.
“We must find the teleporter to that planet.” Many families once again increased their workforce to search for the location of the Firmament Projection System, seeking a way to teleport onto that planet.
With such a high mutation rate, such a high chance of Base Mutation Eggs appearing, and no higher-level creatures above Base Mutation appearing, that planet was simply a huge treasure trove for human Mutators.
Any super-base that could occupy that place and utilize its resources would be able to continuously produce outstanding descendants. Who wouldn’t be envious of that?
“Shen, let’s escape.” Xu Tiange retreated to Lin Shen’s side and said through gritted teeth.
He knew they had run into trouble this time and could only make a strategic retreat. While the Gold Crystal Horned Cow and the Red Jade Lion were still capable of fighting and could hold off the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon, they would have a chance to escape.
If their Crystal Base pets were killed, they wouldn’t even have a chance to run.
Lu Qing also fell back, saying helplessly, “They won’t last much longer.”
“Don’t rush, let’s watch a little longer,” Lin Shen wasn’t in a hurry to leave, his eyes fixed on the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon in battle.
He had been observing the Gold Armored Sea Demons previously, the ordinary ones having more than a dozen acupoints.
When he was collecting Base Mutation Fluid earlier, he tested with Leaf Blade and found that these acupoints were indeed weak points on the Gold Armored Sea Demons.
The Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon had fewer acupoints, only three in total: two not very conspicuous, and one relatively noticeable.
That location was also the weakest spot on the ordinary Gold Armored Sea Demons.
Through the battles with the Red Jade Lion and the Gold Crystal Horned Cow, Lin Shen noticed that the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon was very protective of that spot, meaning it had to be its weak point.
If they ran now, the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon, after killing the two pets, might well be able to chase them down, and they would only die more miserably.
The speed of a Mutated Crystal Base creature was not something they could match.
Instead of betting on whether the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon would chase after them, it was better to take it down now.
Lin Shen, while keeping an eye on the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon, popped out the cylinder of the Angel Revolver and replaced one of the capsules.
The Angel Revolver was loaded with Steel Capsules, and even with a .44 caliber enhancement, it was estimated that it would be difficult to pierce through the weak points of a Mutated Crystal Base creature.
To penetrate its weak spot now, a stronger bullet was needed.
The only capsule that Lin Shen had which could penetrate the weak point of the Mutated Gold Armored Sea Demon was the evolving Death Powder.
“You’re in the middle of evolving, aren’t you? You ignore everything else, take the benefits and evolve on your own, don’t you? If you don’t help me out, I’ll use you as a bullet,” Lin Shen thought maliciously as he loaded the Pet Capsule with Death Powder and a key into the revolver.
His hand movements were discreet, and others only saw him manipulating the gun, thinking he was loading bullets, unaware of what he actually inserted.
“Not running now and waiting to be wiped out?”
“Damn, why is he loading bullets? He can’t seriously think of using that small gun against a Mutated Crystal Base creature!”
“He’s gone crazy; he must be terrified out of his mind to even consider using a handgun against a Mutated Crystal Base creature.”
“I told you, that playboy is definitely going to screw things up.”
Even Wang Tian’er and Qi Shuheng, watching the battle, felt that the young man from the Lin Family must have lost his mind to have such a wild idea.
The spectators all found it utterly ridiculous, and Lu Qing also looked at Lin Shen with a strange expression.
Xu Tiange knew the power of the gun in Lin Shen’s hands, but Lu Qing did not. She had her doubts about Lin Shen’s decision to continue watching the fight.
Lin Shen saw what Lu Qing was thinking but didn’t explain anything, only thinking to himself with a sigh, “Trust is key for two people to walk together; clearly, the trust between me and Lu Qing isn’t strong enough to keep us together forever.”
“After I fire this shot, we’ll leave,” Lin Shen said softly to Lu Qing.
