God Slayer: Make Up for the Past
Chapter 22 Secret Line Crisis
Chu Feng's fingers gently touched the runes, and a strange energy flowed into his body. He felt as if he were standing in the long river of history, witnessing the construction of this ancient tomb and the ancient secrets that had been buried in the dust. The runes flickered with a faint light, as if telling a story of unknown history. He saw a group of people dressed in strange clothes, praying devoutly, sealing some powerful power within the tomb.
"Is this... the origin of the God Slayer Plan?" Chu Feng was startled. He realized that these runes recorded a crucial historical event in the world of "God Slayer": the God Slayer Plan. This plan aimed to seal the forces of evil and protect the human world from harm. And this ancient tomb was the key to the God Slayer Plan.
However, just as Chu Feng was immersed in his historical recollections, the tremors in the tomb chamber grew more and more intense. The energy waves generated by the tomb spirit's self-detonation continuously impacted the walls of the tomb, and rubble continued to fall, making a deafening sound.
"Chu Feng! Be careful!" Pan Yue's voice came from a distance.
Chu Feng suddenly came to his senses and saw a huge rock falling towards his head. He quickly dodged to the side, but the rock still grazed his leg. He felt a sharp pain and blood instantly stained his trouser leg red.
"Damn it!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. He knew now was not the time to hesitate. He had to decipher these runes as quickly as possible to find the key to stopping the evil forces.
"Get out of here! The tomb is about to collapse!" Zheng Shouren shouted, his tone filled with anxiety. He had always been opposed to Chu Feng's exploration, thinking it was an unnecessary risk, but now he sincerely hoped that Chu Feng could escape safely.
"No! I must find a clue!" Chu Feng shook his head firmly, his eyes fixed on the runes, as if possessed.
The collapse of the tomb chamber became increasingly serious, cracks began to appear in the ground, and it was threatening to collapse completely at any time. The mysterious Wu had long disappeared, and the archaeologist Ma was protected by Pan Yue, while the night watchman Zheng anxiously urged Chu Feng to leave.
"Chu Feng, don't be so stubborn! We must save our lives first!" Pan Yue also persuaded.
Chu Feng ignored their advice, his fingers sliding rapidly across the runes, trying to decipher their meaning. His mind raced, connecting the images he saw with the plot of "Slaying the Gods," searching for connections.
Suddenly, Chu Feng's eyes lit up. He seemed to have found the key. He pointed at one of the runes and said, "This rune... represents..."
Before he could finish his words, a larger rock fell from the sky and smashed down on him... "Quick--" Pan Yue exclaimed.
"Quick!" Pan Yue's cry was drowned out by the roar of the falling boulder. In the nick of time, Chu Feng's body erupted with incredible strength. He leaped back, barely avoiding the fatal blow. The shattering debris and the thick dust nearly obscured everyone's vision.
"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue and Zheng Shouye exclaimed at the same time. They thought Chu Feng had been crushed under the huge rock.
However, after the dust settled, they saw Chu Feng's figure appear in front of the rune wall again. His body was covered with dust and scars, but his eyes were unusually bright, flashing with excitement.
"I found it!" Chu Feng's voice was a little hoarse, but full of strength, "I found the source of the evil spirit!"
He pointed to a rune on the wall and said excitedly, "This rune represents 'Abyss,' while other runes describe a special ritual that can open a passage to the Abyss. It is from the Abyss that evil spirits pour into this world!"
Zheng Shouye looked at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with shock and admiration. He had always been opposed to Chu Feng's exploration, thinking he was reckless and impulsive, disregarding the overall situation. But now, he had to admit that Chu Feng's persistence and courage were exactly what they needed.
"So that's how it is..." Zheng Shouye muttered to himself. He finally understood why Chu Feng was so persistent.
At this moment, the horse archaeologist suddenly exclaimed: "There is a passage here!"
Following the sound, everyone saw a hole hidden by rocks in the corner of the tomb. Archaeologist Ma removed the rubble, revealing a narrow passage.
"This might be the only way to leave here!" Archaeologist Ma said excitedly, but his tone quickly softened, "But..."
A huge rock blocked the entrance to the passage, blocking the hope of life on the other side.
The tomb was shaking more and more violently, and it was likely to collapse completely at any time. Time was running out, and they had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.
The mysterious Wu reappeared in the tomb at some point, gazing coldly at the group, his eyes flickering with an inexplicable light. He didn't try to stop them from escaping, but instead observed their actions with interest, as if anticipating something.
Pan Yue walked up to the boulder, took a deep breath, and summoned all his strength before punching it. However, the boulder didn't budge, and he felt a sharp pain in his fist.
"I'll do it!" The mysterious man Wu suddenly spoke. He flashed and appeared in front of the boulder, and also punched out.
However, the result is still the same, the boulder remains motionless.
Seeing this, Chu Feng immediately walked over to the boulder. He placed his hand on the tomb wall, and a powerful force surged through him. He felt a connection with this ancient land. He mobilized the Night Watchmen to temporarily stabilize the crumbling tomb, buying time for Pan Yue and the mysterious Wu.
"Hurry up!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his body had reached its limit.
Pan Yue and the mysterious Wu exchanged a glance, a hint of determination flashing in their eyes...
"Let's go together!" Pan Yue growled...
Pan Yue and the mysterious Wu stood side by side before the boulder, their eyes gleaming with determination. Pan Yue took a deep breath, and a gleaming dagger materialized in his hand. This was his signature weapon, incredibly sharp, capable of slicing through metal like mud. The mysterious Wu clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling as an invisible energy surged through him, demonstrating his profound internal strength.
"Three, two, one!" Pan Yue shouted, and the two men attacked simultaneously. Pan Yue's dagger transformed into a streak of silver light, stabbing precisely at the crack in the boulder, attempting to pry it open. The mysterious Wu then threw both fists simultaneously, his immense internal energy pouring out like a tidal wave, fiercely slamming into the boulder.
The boulder trembled slightly, a few tiny cracks appearing on its surface, but the whole remained motionless, like a towering mountain, unshakable. The aftermath of the two men's attack sent rubble falling from the tomb chamber. Chu Feng gritted his teeth, trying his best to stabilize the crumbling tomb, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
"This stone... is very strange!" Pan Yue panted, his face filled with solemnity. Although his dagger failed to move the boulder, he felt a strange resistance, as if the stone had a life of its own.
Mysterious Wu clenched his fists, stared deeply at the boulder, and said slowly, "This ancient tomb is not an ordinary tomb, but the mausoleum of a powerful sorcerer from ancient times. He sealed all his life's knowledge in this ancient tomb, including the method of controlling evil spirits."
He paused and continued, "This ancient tomb is connected to the abyss and is one of the channels for evil spirits to invade the world. If we cannot seal it in time, the consequences will be disastrous." The mysterious Wu's tone was full of worry, which also made Pan Yue and Chu Feng realize the seriousness of the situation.
Just when they were at their wit's end, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the tomb entrance: "It seems you've found quite a few good things!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short, shifty-looking man standing at the entrance. It was none other than the thief Feng who had escaped earlier. He held a rusty dagger in his hand, his greedy eyes fixed on the clues in their hands.
"Feng thief!" Pan Yue's face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Bandit Feng chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to find this place. Looks like I'm lucky. Hand over what you have, and I'll consider letting you go."
Chu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Wishful thinking!"
A fierce gleam flashed in Feng Bandit's eyes, and he rushed towards Chu Feng with his dagger raised. Chu Feng was prepared and dodged his attack by moving sideways.
"You're looking for death!" Pan Yue roared, brandishing his dagger once more, engaging in a fierce battle with Feng the Bandit. The mysterious Wu stood by, ready to strike at any moment.
Chu Feng glanced at the crumbling tomb, his heart aching with anxiety. He knew they had to leave quickly, or else they would be buried alive if the tomb collapsed. He once again mobilized the Night Watch, trying their best to stabilize the tomb while keeping a close eye on the battle between Pan Yue and the bandit Feng.
"Hurry up!" Mysterious Wu suddenly shouted, grabbed Chu Feng and Pan Yue by the shoulders, and pushed them towards the entrance of the passage... "No time to explain!" Mysterious Wu pushed the two into the passage, then turned to face the thief Feng and the collapsing tomb behind him...
