Chapter 381: Wormhole Ambush

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Inside the wormhole, time and space were distorted. Countless points of light arced through the surroundings, resembling shooting stars.

A flying shuttle was currently flying through the wormhole, heading toward the direction of the Great Wall University. Because they were in a wormhole, for every second that passed, a vast amount of distance was being covered.

But the closer they got to their target, the more nervous the freshmen inside the flying shuttle became. Their hearts pounded rapidly and almost leaped up to their throats.

“This plan is too crazy, can it succeed?”

“I don’t know, but we can only give it a shot.”

“That’s right, let’s go for broke!”

…

Numerous voices of worry could be heard from within the crowd.

Feng Lin stood at the forefront and spoke, “Don’t worry. We have already done our best. Next, we can only depend on fate. Even if we failed in the end, we wouldn’t have died pointlessly by wasting time away while waiting for our deaths. We have already done all we can!”

His voice was powerful and was like a stabilizing needle that calmed the hearts of everyone.

That was right, all of them were in such a perilous situation. What was the point of being worried when they had already done all they could?

Other than their lives, they had nothing left to lose.

Alas, their lives were the thing they didn’t want to lose the most.

Their captain Feng Lin had explained his crazy plan to them, and it caused their hearts to shiver. The extent of danger was unbelievable and it was an incomparably bold one. After hearing it, all of them ran through the plan again and again, and they couldn’t help but admit that as of now, that crazy plan suggested by Feng Lin was truly one that had the highest possibility of success.

(Let’s go for broke!)

Danger could be the best source of stimulating one’s potential.

When they thought of the scenes described in the plan, their bodies couldn’t help but tremble. Danger and opportunity truly co-existed together.

If they failed, they would simply die and enter the reincarnation cycle early. There was nothing left to say.

But maybe, what if they really succeeded? That would be impressive!

They would become heroes of the Great Wall University and humanity…

They would be legends!

…

The shuttle flew rapidly through the wormhole as everyone waited with bated breath.

Feng Lin narrowed his eyes as he surveyed the area ahead.

Although the plan was crazy and steeped in danger, he was fully prepared for every situation.

“A huge energy reaction has been discovered ahead, please take note! A strange phenomenon occurred in the wormhole; a giant spirit beast has appeared!” All of a sudden, the scanning system of the flying shuttle beeped as the A.I. let out a sound of warning while flashing a blinding red light.

Everyone instantly started to focus and went to the front cabin, staring at the outside.

In their vision, they saw a giant fork in front, and an incomparably large figure emerged from nowhere. Its body was perfectly round and resembled a giant whale. It was currently roaring at the flying shuttle and flying toward them from the back.

A surge of electromagnetic waves instantly gushed over.

The entire flying shuttle trembled from the impact. The energy control systems in the flying shuttle were under interference. Light flashed on and off, flickering incessantly.

BOOM!

The gigantic figure flew over, causing the wormhole to distort.

The giant whale was staring at the flying shuttle, like how a hunter stared at its prey. It then butted its head over.

Feng Lin didn’t panic. He had been expecting something like this and had waited for a long time.

(It’s getting nearer, it’s getting nearer!)

His eyes stared fixedly at the whale’s direction. And when its distance from the flying shuttle became sufficiently near, Feng Lin decisively gave an order.

“Blast out the crimson refinement gunpowder!”

Pu, pu, pu~

The panels at the back of the flying shuttle slid open as a hundred metallic cannons appeared and fired at the same time. They linked with each other as a giant net shot out, wanting to entangle the whale.

After that cannon shots rang out repeatedly. A thick reddish cloud of substance erupted forth, being emitted from red crystals. The smell of gunpowder permeated the entire wormhole. However, due to their small sizes, the crystals appeared to be harmless.

That giant whale also felt the same. It didn’t guard itself and continued to headbutt over.

At the next instant, the red crystals blasted into it. It was like a spark of flame dropped into a pool of gasoline. Its entire body instantly combusted.

The spirit whale was an entity formed from energy, how vast must the amount of energy within it be?

Under the catalysis of the crimson refinement gunpowder, the energy within the spirit whale instantly reacted, and the reaction spread through its entire body like a plague, setting its entire body on fire. Its internal structure was rapidly destroyed, and it could feel pain from the depths of its soul.

The giant spirit whale opened its maw and let out roars of pain while sending out energy blasts randomly. Its struggles caused the wormhole tunnel to tremble unstably.

The energy waves gushed over, causing the flying shuttle to shudder.

“Activate the protective energy barrier!” At this moment, Feng Lin couldn’t care about the remaining energy reserves. The flying shuttle had to defend against the impact of this attack no matter what.

If not, even before the spirit whale died, the flying shuttle would crumble apart first.

That’s right!

Feng Lin’s plan wasn’t to evade the spirit race. It was to counter-ambush the giant spirit whale in the wormhole tunnel instead! Feng Lin wanted to kill it.

The tunnel in the wormhole was very narrow, and there was simply no way to evade.

Once they succeeded, they would be able to deal with the spirit race’s pursuit within the wormhole once and for all. There would be no need for them to drift aimlessly in the universe, and they could return to the Great Wall University in three hours.

At that time, no matter how ferocious the spirit race was, they wouldn’t dare attack the university.

Upon impact, the protective barrier shimmered but managed to hold.

Feng Lin stared fixedly at the spirit whale; the others did so as well. The atmosphere was so tense that no one dared to breathe loudly.

The red-colored flames burned the whale, and it trembled in agony amidst roars of pain.

“Increase our speed and rush ahead!” Feng Lin seemed to have sensed something. He quickly gave the order.

The flying shuttle instantly responded. Flames shot out from its tail as it rushed forth with great speed.

Anger flashed in the eyes of the spirit whale. It snarled and increased its speed, wanting to perish together with these detestable humans.

The flying shuttle entered its maximum speed, but the giant whale got increasingly closer and was about to come in contact with it.

“Fire the second wave of crimson refinement gunpowder!”

Bang!

Another hundred cannon shells filled with the crimson refinement gunpowder blasted out, heavily injuring the spirit whale.

Its gigantic body was like a huge target. However, due to its vibrant life force, it wasn’t dead yet. It howled with madness and continued to pursue.

Just like this, the flying shuttle and the spirit whale began a game of cat and mouse.

Feng Lin intentionally controlled the speed of the flying shuttle to drag the time.

The longer the time dragged on, the greater would the injury of the spirit whale be. It would eventually succumb to its injuries and die.

The reality was as he expected as well.

After being blasted twice, the strength of the spirit whale dwindled rapidly. It no longer had the strength to match the flying shuttle’s speed.

“Aim for its life when it’s injured!”

Feng Lin instantly gave the order.

“Third wave of crimson refinement gunpowder, fire!”

Another blast of cannon fire enveloped the spirit whale. The explosions were so intense that the wormhole tunnel behind the flying shuttle had also crumbled into pieces.

The flying shuttle shuddered from the impact. Everyone gathered and cheered with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

“Great!”

“We’ve finally succeeded!”

“We are safe now and can finally return to the Great Wall University!”

…

Everyone had joyful smiles on their faces.

Had they really succeeded?

It wasn’t easy at all!

“Warning, warning! An extremely high-grade energy fluctuation is discovered behind the shuttle. It should be a gigantic-scale spirit lifeform!” A warning rang out as an inauspicious red light flickered in the shuttle.

The cheers of everyone stopped abruptly.

A moment later, a gigantic spirit blackhole appeared behind the shuttle. It was incomparably deep, like a bottomless pit that could even devour energy. In fact, even the wormhole was being devoured bit by bit.

“It’s that spirit black hole!”

“It was it who killed the instructor!”

“We are doomed for sure, we won’t be able to escape!”

…

That spirit blackhole looked extremely bizarre. It drifted over silently, appearing slow but was extremely fast in reality.

An intense roar rang out, a roar from the depths of its heart, filled with anger and madness…

“Open fire!”

“Open fire now!”

“Activate the cannon!”
