God Slayer: Make Up for the Past
Chapter 48: The Plot Deep in the Ruins
A faint blue light flickered in the passage, and the damp air was filled with an ancient atmosphere. Chu Feng, Pan Yue, and Explorer Luo advanced cautiously, taking every step with care. The walls on either side of the passage were engraved with strange runes, flickering in the dim light, as if alive. Chu Feng felt a chilling gaze from behind him. He turned back several times, but all he saw was the cowering figure of Shen the Scavenger and the indifferent expressions of the members of Mo's mysterious organization.
"This passage seems to be longer than we thought." Pan Yue broke the silence, his voice echoing in the empty passage with a hint of uneasiness.
"Be careful, I feel like something's wrong," Chu Feng whispered, his eyes fixed on the backs of the members of Mo's mysterious organization. He remembered the stone that had shone with a strange light. That light felt strangely familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"Chu Feng, have you discovered anything?" Explorer Luo was experienced and immediately noticed something was wrong with Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was about to speak when his feet suddenly gave way and he plummeted downwards. He reacted quickly, grabbing onto the rocks at the edge of the passage and avoiding the abyss. Pan Yue and Explorer Luo also hurriedly stopped and stared at Chu Feng in horror.
"It's a trap!" Chu Feng said gritting his teeth. He looked up and found that a huge hole had appeared on the originally flat ground.
"This trap seems to be newly set. It didn't exist before." Explorer Luo said in a deep voice as he carefully observed the traces on the edge of the cave entrance.
Chu Feng's heart sank. He finally understood the source of his unease. The mysterious member of Mo's organization had been secretly plotting against them. He had deliberately lured them into this passage, then used a pre-set trap to kill them.
"We must leave here as soon as possible." Chu Feng climbed up the passage with difficulty and said with a serious expression.
They continued on, but the journey became increasingly dangerous. Traps were everywhere, and it was impossible to avoid them. If it weren't for Chu Feng's keen observation and premonition of danger, they would have been killed long ago.
"Damn it, this is not the original trap of the ruins, it was modified by humans!" Pan Yue shouted angrily. He was almost hit by a poisonous arrow shot from the wall.
Chu Feng's gaze fell on the member of Mo's mysterious organization again, and he saw a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"He is using the mechanism of the ruins to trap us here!" Chu Feng's heart was burning with anger. He knew that he had to see through the other party's conspiracy as soon as possible, otherwise they would all die here.
They came to a spacious cave. In the center of the cave stood a huge stone platform, on which stood a treasure chest gleaming with golden light.
"Treasure!" Shen the scavenger's eyes lit up and he rushed towards the stone platform greedily.
"Don't go over there!" Chu Feng shouted, but it was too late to stop him.
Just when Shen the Scavenger was about to touch the treasure chest, the ground around the stone platform suddenly collapsed. Shen the Scavenger screamed and fell into the abyss.
"No..." Shen the Scavenger's desperate cry echoed in the cave and then disappeared without a trace.
Chu Feng's heart sank to the bottom. He knew this was another trick by the members of Mo's mysterious organization. He stared at the other person coldly and said word by word, "What do you want to do?"
The mysterious member of the organization didn't answer, but a strange smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised the stone in his hand, and the stone shone with a strange light, illuminating his cold face. "This stone..." Chu Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he finally remembered where he had seen it before... "Yes..."
"It's... the key to activate the ruins' mechanisms!" Chu Feng suddenly woke up. He had seen this stone in Researcher Tong's notes before. It was a special mineral that could control some of the ruins' mechanisms! From the beginning, the members of the mysterious Mo organization planned to use this stone to control the traps in the ruins to deal with them!
The air in the cave seemed to freeze. Chu Feng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, fixed on the members of Mo's mysterious organization. He finally understood that from the moment they entered the ruins, they had fallen into the other party's trap step by step. The death of Shen the Scavenger further strengthened his judgment.
The member of Mo's mysterious organization didn't seem to care about being discovered by Chu Feng. Instead, he laughed wildly: "You are very smart, but it's too late!" He raised the stone again and aimed at a rune on the top of the cave.
Chu Feng's heart sank, knowing they were about to activate something. He quickly surveyed his surroundings and discovered the cave's ceiling was covered in densely packed runes, any one of which, if activated, could be fatal.
"Pan Yue, Mr. Luo, be careful!" Chu Feng shouted, and at the same time pulled the two of them back quickly.
Almost at the same time, a huge rock from the top of the cave crashed down, hitting the ground hard and stirring up a cloud of dust. If Chu Feng hadn't reacted in time, the three of them would have been crushed into meat patties.
"Damn it!" Pan Yue, still in shock, cursed angrily.
"His target is not the treasure, but to get rid of us!" Explorer Luo's face was solemn and his voice was low.
The conspiracy of Mo Mi's organization members was discovered, but he did not panic. Instead, he manipulated the mechanisms of the ruins more unscrupulously. Deadly traps appeared one after another, forcing Chu Feng and others to run for their lives.
However, Chu Feng had already seen through the other party's tactics. With his keen observation and premonition of danger, he always found a way to break the trap in the blink of an eye, leading Pan Yue and Explorer Luo into perilous situations but ultimately escaping them. After repeated attempts, panic finally showed on the face of the member of Mo's mysterious organization. He had never imagined that his meticulously planned operation could be so easily defeated by a trainee night watchman.
At this moment, Explorer Luo suddenly exclaimed: "There is a passage here!"
While dodging falling rocks, explorer Luo stumbled upon a narrow and hidden passageway hidden behind a rock wall. It would have been difficult to find if it weren't for the impact of falling rocks.
"Let's go!" Chu Feng made a prompt decision. He knew this was an opportunity to escape from the predicament.
The three of them quickly got into the passage. When the members of Mo's mysterious organization saw this, their faces changed drastically and they hurriedly chased after them.
"We can't let them escape! This passage leads to the core area of the ruins, where..." He spoke rapidly, then stopped abruptly, a glint of greed and madness in his eyes. He hurried after them, the stone in his hand gleaming, as if brewing a new conspiracy.
The passage was narrow, only wide enough for one person, limiting the speed of the members of Mo's mysterious organization. Chu Feng and the other two took the opportunity to distance themselves, fleeing through the dark passage. The stone walls were rough, the passage was winding, and gravel occasionally fell from above, adding a touch of danger.
"He's catching up!" Pan Yue's voice came from the front with a hint of nervousness.
The end of the tunnel suddenly opened up, revealing a vast underground space. In the center, a massive energy vortex slowly swirled, emitting a strange glow. Members of the mysterious Mo organization followed closely behind, blocking the tunnel's exit.
"You can't escape!" He grinned, and the stone in his hand shone brightly, projecting a beam of energy that hit Chu Feng directly.
Chu Feng dodged sideways, the beam grazed his arm, leaving a burning mark. "Pan Yue, cover!"
Pan Yue immediately unleashed an ice wall, blocking the subsequent attacks from the members of Mo Mystic's organization. Explorer Luo then pulled several specially crafted flashbangs from his backpack and hurled them at the enemy. The intense flash briefly blinded the members of Mo Mystic's organization, and Chu Feng seized the opportunity, brandishing his short blade and charging forward.
The battle clashed with swords and sabers. Though only a trainee Night's Watchman, Chu Feng possessed vast combat experience and agility. He engaged members of the mysterious Mo organization with deadly blows. Pan Yue and Explorer Luo also assisted, and together, the three gradually stabilized the situation.
The member of Mo Mishen's organization launched a fierce attack at first, relying on the stones in his hands to control the surrounding energy, but Chu Feng and his men cooperated with each other, using both offense and defense to make his attacks fall short again and again. After a long period of unsuccessful attacks, the member of Mo Mishen's organization began to panic, his breathing became rapid, and his movements began to become distorted.
During a fierce confrontation, Chu Feng was hit in the chest by an energy beam, staggered back, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue exclaimed, his eyes filled with concern. He quickly moved to Chu Feng's side and blocked the enemy's attack for him. "How are you?"
Chu Feng shook his head and gritted his teeth, "I'm fine." Pan Yue's concern warmed his heart, and a surge of strength surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and threw himself into the battle again.
Working together, the three finally found a weakness in the member of Mo Mi Shen's organization. Chu Feng seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful blow, knocking the stone from the opponent's hand to the ground. Without the power of the stone, the member of Mo Mi Shen's organization's fighting power was greatly reduced, and he was quickly subdued by the three.
They tied up the members of Mo's mysterious organization and continued along the passage. The light of the energy vortex became stronger and stronger, and a strange energy fluctuation filled the air.
"Is this... the core area of the ruins?" Pan Yue's voice trembled slightly.
At the end of the tunnel lay an even vaster underground space. In the center, a massive energy vortex slowly swirled, emitting a dazzling light. The surrounding stone walls were engraved with various mysterious runes, each shimmering with a strange light. A powerful energy wave permeated the air, causing palpitations.
Explorer Luo walked to a stone tablet and carefully examined the runes on it, his expression growing grave. "These runes... I feel like I've seen them somewhere..." he muttered to himself. Suddenly, as if a thought struck him, he jerked his head up, his eyes filled with fear. "Oh no! These runes are..." He hadn't finished his words when the entire space suddenly began to vibrate violently...
