God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

The rustling sound grew closer, and with a low roar, a creature resembling a giant spider crawled out from the depths of the passage. It was covered in a hard shell, its eight scarlet eyes flashed with ferocity, and its sharp mouthparts kept opening and closing, making a creepy sound.

"It's a crypt spider!" Explorer Luo exclaimed, "Be careful, this thing is extremely poisonous!"

Chu Feng and Pan Yue immediately assumed combat stances, confronting the Crypt Spider. The spider was incredibly fast, pouncing on them in the blink of an eye. Chu Feng swung his weapon, a flash of sword light passing through, slashing across the spider's carapace, leaving only a shallow mark.

"Its shell is too hard!" Chu Feng thought to himself.

Pan Yue used his agility to dodge the attacks of the Crypt Spider while searching for its weaknesses. During the fierce battle, the walls of the maze began to shake, rubble rained down from above, and the surrounding passages began to twist and deform, as if they would collapse at any moment.

"This maze... seems to be changing!" Pan Yue exclaimed.

In the chaos, the timid Shen the Scavenger panicked and, ignoring everyone's dissuasion, ran wildly in one direction. "Don't run around!" Chu Feng shouted, but Shen the Scavenger had already disappeared around the corner of the maze.

A moment later, a shrill scream was heard from afar, and then a dazzling laser shot out from the direction where Shen the Scavenger disappeared, heading straight for Chu Feng. Chu Feng barely dodged it, and the laser grazed his body, the scorching energy causing him to feel a sharp pain.

The impact of the laser sent Chu Feng flying. He fell heavily to the ground, his vision blurring. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself separated from Pan Yue and the others. All around him was silence, save for the faint flickering of strange runes on the wall.

"Pan Yue! Explorer Luo!" Chu Feng shouted loudly, but the only response he got was an empty echo.

He struggled to his feet and looked around. Every passage looked exactly the same, and he couldn't tell which way was which. The walls of the maze were still constantly shifting, like a giant beast devouring everything.

Chu Feng felt a wave of despair. He didn't know where to go, nor how to reunite with his companions. Just then, he noticed that the runes on the wall seemed to be flashing according to a certain pattern.

He carefully observed the flickering runes, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He reached out and touched the runes on the wall, and a strange energy surged into his body.

"Could it be..." Chu Feng muttered to himself, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "This is the only way..." He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and everything that had just happened emerged in his mind...

Chu Feng took a deep breath, mobilizing the strange energy within him. The world twisted and spun before his eyes, then rapidly retreated. He was transported back to a few minutes ago, where the Crypt Spiders were still engaged in a fierce battle, and Shen the Scavenger was gazing around in terror, searching for a way to escape.

"Shen Shihuangzhe, don't move!" Chu Feng shouted, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty.

Shen the scavenger was startled by the sudden shout and froze in his tracks. The others also looked at Chu Feng in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

"There is a mechanism there that will shoot out lasers!" Chu Feng pointed in the direction where Shen the Scavenger was originally going to run, his tone hurried.

Almost at the same time, a dazzling laser shot out from the direction Chu Feng pointed, brushing past the corner of Shen Scavenger's clothes and leaving a charred mark on the ground.

Shen the scavenger collapsed to the ground in fear, his face pale. Everyone stared at the laser in shock, then looked at Chu Feng, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"You...how do you know?" Pan Yue broke the silence first.

Chu Feng didn't explain, but simply said, "Let's deal with this crypt spider first."

Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't bother to ask more questions at this moment and once again engaged in a fierce battle with the Crypt Demon Spider. Without Shen the Scavenger's interference, they cooperated more tacitly and quickly found the Crypt Demon Spider's weakness and killed it.

After the crypt spider fell to the ground, the vibration of the maze stopped and the surrounding passages returned to calm.

"Chu Feng, what on earth happened to you just now?" Explorer Luo couldn't help but ask. He had rich experience, but he had never seen such a strange thing.

"I... have some special abilities." Chu Feng was vague. He didn't want to reveal the secret that he could go back in time.

Although everyone was curious, they also knew that everyone had their own secrets, so they stopped asking. However, when they looked at Chu Feng, there was a bit more awe and conviction in their eyes.

After the battle, Chu Feng fell into deep thought. He was worried about the safety of Pan Yue and explorer Luo, but also eager to explore the depths of the maze to find the legendary treasure.

"I'll stay and continue exploring," Chu Feng finally made a decision, "You guys go find the exit first."

Pan Yue and Explorer Luo both disagreed with Chu Feng taking the risk alone, but Chu Feng was determined, so they had to compromise in the end.

"Then be careful," Pan Yue warned, "If you encounter danger, evacuate immediately."

Chu Feng nodded and watched Pan Yue and Explorer Luo leave. He stood alone at the fork in the maze, looking at the deep passage, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

"Treasure, here I come..." Chu Feng whispered to himself, then resolutely stepped into an unknown passage. As he walked, the runes on the wall flashed faster and faster, as if guiding his direction. Chu Feng reached out and gently stroked the runes on the wall...

"This...what is this?"

The runes on the wall seemed to come alive, emitting a faint fluorescent glow at Chu Feng's touch, and flowing along a specific path. Chu Feng's heart moved, and an inexplicable premonition came to him. These runes might hide the secrets of the maze! He focused his mind, carefully observing the flow of the runes, and found that they eventually converged at the end of the passage.

At the same time, Explorer Luo discovered similar runes in another passage. His experience immediately recognized that the runes' light wasn't random, but rather pointed in a certain direction. He attempted to follow the light's guidance, and sure enough, the path through the maze was no longer as complex as before, but became increasingly clear.

"Pan Yue, look!" Explorer Luo excitedly pointed at the runes on the wall, "I think I've found a way out!"

Pan Yue stepped forward and carefully observed the direction of the runes, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "This is incredible! These runes are actually signposts!"

They immediately returned the same way, searching for Chu Feng. Fortunately, they soon met at a fork in the road. After reuniting, the three shared their findings, all believing these runes were the key to unlocking the maze.

"Let's go together," Chu Feng said, "We should be able to find the exit by following the instructions of the runes."

The three of them followed the direction indicated by the runes, and the path of the maze gradually became wider. However, just as they were about to exit the maze, something strange happened.

Pan Yue was keenly aware of something strange. He felt a chilling aura permeating the surroundings. "Be careful!" he whispered.

Almost at the same time, several dark shadows emerged from the darkness and attacked them. They were members of the mysterious Mo organization! They had apparently also discovered the secret of the rune and were trying to prevent Chu Feng and the others from leaving the maze.

"Protect Explorer Luo!" Chu Feng shouted, standing in front of Explorer Luo and fighting fiercely with the enemy.

Pan Yue, on the other hand, displayed a calm and resourceful side. He exploited the maze's complex terrain, deftly dodging enemy attacks and waiting for opportunities to strike back. His agility, like that of a nimble cheetah, allowed him to maneuver through narrow passages, eluding his enemies. Ultimately, he successfully repelled several enemies, ensuring the safety of Explorer Luo and Chu Feng.

"Pan Yue, you are so awesome!" Explorer Luo exclaimed sincerely. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak young man actually possessed such powerful fighting ability.

Pan Yue just smiled faintly and said, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible."

The three continued on their way, a tense atmosphere filling the air. Following the guidance of the runes, they arrived at a massive stone door. Carved with ancient and mysterious patterns, it exuded a terrifying aura.

Just as Chu Feng was about to push open the stone door, a low roar came from behind the stone door, and the ground trembled slightly. This sound was full of deterrence, which made the three of them stop in their tracks.

"What...what is this sound?" Explorer Luo asked in a trembling voice.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue exchanged a glance, each seeing a solemn expression in the other's eyes. They slowly pushed open the stone door... A massive figure appeared before them, emanating a powerful aura that suffocated the three of them. Chu Feng's heart sank... "Guardian of the Ruins..."
