Chapter 30 Uniting as One
"Hold on, everyone! We've found the source! As long as we destroy that black crystal, this will all be over!" Luo Qing shouted, trying to boost everyone's morale.
Although Qi Ru and Fang Tai were covered in wounds, they gritted their teeth and fought back against the giants' attacks.
Mo Ming and Mu Qimeng kept moving between the giants, looking for an opportunity to break through.
The five of them finally reached the black crystal. The crystal was even larger than they had imagined. It stood in the center of the mist, like a dark altar.
The crystal surface shimmered with a cold light, releasing a strong aura of evil, and the surrounding mist became even denser under its influence.
Luo Qing took a deep breath, gripped the gun tightly, and prepared to attack the crystal.
However, just as she was about to make her move, the crystal suddenly let out a deafening roar.
As the roar resounded, the surrounding giants seemed to be summoned, their attacks becoming even more ferocious. Their eyes flashed red, as if controlled by the evil power within the crystal.
"Damn it, these giants are becoming more aggressive. We need to get rid of this boulder quickly." Luo Qing shot the boulder.
"Ding—." The bullet was deflected after hitting the target, leaving only a faint white mark.
"This boulder is too hard!" Luo Qing frowned.
As soon as Luo Qing finished speaking, Qi Ru, Fang Tai, Mo Ming, and Mu Qimeng launched their attacks.
Qi Ru brandished her sharp sword and slashed fiercely at the crystal. The sword energy surged, but dissipated the moment it touched the surface of the crystal.
Fang Tai threw his spear with all his might, but it only sparked a few sparks on the surface of the crystal and did not seem to damage the crystal itself.
Mo Ming and Mu Qimeng also tried their respective abilities, but neither Mo Ming's longsword nor Mu Qimeng's dagger could leave a shallow mark on the surface of the crystal.
The five men's attacks were like scratching an itch through a boot; they couldn't inflict any real damage on the black crystal.
They stood around the crystal, their expressions solemn, a sense of powerlessness rising within them. The crystal seemed like an insurmountable mountain, blocking their path forward.
"What should we do? This rock is too hard; we can't break through it." The five people discussed this while resisting the giant's attacks.
"Qi Ru, do you know the origin of this stone and what its weaknesses are?" Mu Qimeng asked Qi Ru.
Qi Ru shook her head, her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing deep thought. Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a corner of the crystal, where there was a tiny crack, almost imperceptible without close inspection.
“Wait, this crystal… doesn’t seem to be completely seamless.” She pointed to the crack, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
The five people immediately gathered around and examined the crack closely. It had an irregular shape, as if it had been left by something sharp.
"This crack... looks like it was cut by something," Fang Tai said, squinting as he observed carefully.
Luo Qing was taken aback, then realized, "You mean, this crystal might have been damaged by some kind of sharp weapon?"
What kind of weapon could split such a hard rock? This question arose in everyone's minds at the same time.
Luo Qing looked down at the Silver Dragon Spear and the Heart of the Ocean in her hand, a flash of understanding appearing in her eyes.
She placed the Heart of the Ocean over the barrel of the Silver Dragon Spear, and a flash of blue light appeared as the two merged together.
She slowly raised the gun, aimed it at the crack in the crystal, took a deep breath, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
Gunshots echoed through the fog as bullets hurtled toward the crystal at incredible speed.
Just as the bullet was about to hit the crystal, the gun suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, as if a mysterious power had been unleashed.
The bullet changed its trajectory at an incredible angle, penetrating directly into the crystal along the crack. As the bullet went deeper, the crack widened at a visible speed, as if something was tearing it apart from within.
The five people watched this scene in astonishment. They knew that it was not just the power of the bullet, but also the mystery of the gun in Luo Qing's hand.
The light emanating from the gun gradually faded, but the cracks on the crystal became more and more obvious.
Luo Qing's eyes were resolute as she raised the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand once more.
This time, she targeted the depths of the crystal crack, preparing to launch a second attack.
"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out, and the bullet streaked through the mist like a meteor, heading straight for the crystal.
With each impact of the bullet, the cracks on the crystal widened further, as if something inside the crystal was struggling to break free of its restraints.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from inside the crystal, as if something had exploded inside.
Immediately afterwards, cracks began to appear on the surface of the crystal, spreading out like a spider web.
Seeing this, the five immediately seized the opportunity to launch an attack.
Each of their attacks landed precisely on the cracks in the crystal, and each impact made the crystal tremble violently.
The crystal emitted a series of deafening roars, as if issuing commands to the giants around it.
Affected by the roar of the crystal, the giants' attacks became even more ferocious, as they swung their enormous fists and smashed them towards Luo Qing and his companions.
However, the five had already gained experience in dealing with giants, and they skillfully dodged the giants' attacks while continuing to attack the crystal.
Suddenly, the light inside the crystal burst forth, illuminating the entire mist-shrouded space.
The light contained endless evil and darkness, as if it wanted to devour everything around it.
Luo Qing and his companions felt a pang of fear, but they knew this was the crucial moment for them to destroy the crystal.
The five people surrounded the crystal, and their attacks rained down on it like a storm.
Each impact caused the crystal to tremble violently, as if it were enduring unspeakable pain.
Holding the Silver Dragon Spear, Luo Qing's every shot was incredibly accurate, the bullets streaking through the air like meteors and striking the crystals hard.
The blue light emanating from the gun body intertwined with the dark light inside the crystal, creating a spectacular scene.
Suddenly, the dark light inside the crystal became even more violent, surging wildly as it tried to break free of its restraints.
Luo Qing felt a powerful force emanating from the crystal, attempting to deflect the gun from her hand.
However, Luo Qing did not back down. She gripped the gun even tighter, aimed at the core of the crystal, and prepared to launch the final attack.
Just then, the crystal suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the entire space seemed to tremble from the force.
As the crystal roared, the surrounding mist began to surge violently, as if an invisible force was manipulating everything.
Luo Qing and his group of five felt a strong sense of oppression. When they looked up, they saw that all the giants had suddenly stopped attacking and their bodies began to slowly rise and gradually merge together.
The giants' bodies gradually intertwined, forming a massive form that resembled a towering mountain standing between heaven and earth.
