God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

The thick stench of blood mixed with the stench of decay filled the passage, making one almost nauseous. A sticky liquid trickled down the uneven cave walls, pooling in sickening puddles on the ground. A chilling air hung in the air, as if countless cold eyes were lurking in the darkness, watching these uninvited guests. The faint glow of the God-Slaying Sword in Chu Feng's hand barely illuminated the short distance ahead, but it only served to deepen the eerie atmosphere.

"Everyone be careful," Chu Feng lowered his voice and tightened his grip on the God-Slaying Sword in his hand, "Something is... very wrong here."

Pan Yue nodded, the talisman in his hand gleaming, reflecting his solemn expression. "I can sense... a powerful evil force... nearby."

Researcher Xiong's face turned pale as he followed Chu Feng closely, trembling as he said, "This... This is the core area of ​​the evil spirit's lair... We... We must be careful..."

Suddenly, a faint groan broke the silence in the passage.

"Who?!" Tong Yongshi suddenly raised the weapon in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

Chu Feng followed the sound and saw a figure huddled in a corner. In the dim light, he could vaguely make out a man, dressed in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, and barely breathing.

"It's the victim Lu!" Researcher Xiong exclaimed and ran over quickly.

Chu Feng and the others quickly gathered around him. Using the light of the God-Slaying Sword, they could clearly see the man's appearance. His face was covered in scars, and his body was torn in many places by the evil spirit's claws. The blood had already congealed, and he looked like a broken rag doll.

"He's still alive!" Pan Yue checked the man's breath and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick, help him up!" Chu Feng said immediately.

Several people carefully helped Lu Xianzhe up and let him lean against the wall of the cave. Lu Xianzhe slightly opened his eyes, his eyes were unfocused, and he uttered an indistinct whisper.

"Water...water..."

Pan Yue quickly took out a water bottle from his backpack and carefully fed it to Lu Xianren. After a few gulps of water, Lu Xianren seemed to regain some strength and his eyesight gradually became clearer.

"Thank...thank you..." he said weakly, his voice trembling, "Are you...here to save me?"

Chu Feng nodded, his tone firm: "We will rescue you and destroy this evil nest!"

Seeing the tragic plight of the victims, everyone's hearts were filled with anger and grief. They realized more deeply the cruelty and evil of the evil spirits and became more determined to destroy this nest.

Researcher Xiong examined the victim's injuries and said solemnly, "His injuries are very serious. We need to get him out as soon as possible."

"But... we haven't found the core yet..." Tong Yongshi hesitated.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes. "Pan Yue, take Lu the Sacrifice and Researcher Xiong and return the way we came. Tong the Warrior and I will continue forward."

Tong Yongshi patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said, "Good brother! Be careful!"

Pan Yue opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing and just nodded heavily. He knew that Chu Feng had already made his decision, and any persuasion would be futile.

Watching Pan Yue and the other two disappear around the corner of the passage, Chu Feng turned around and looked forward with a determined gaze. The blade of the God-Slaying Sword reflected a cold light. "Let's go," he said to the young warrior, "let's keep moving forward!"

Tong Yongshi nodded, raised his weapon, and followed Chu Feng, step by step towards the huge tumor that was emitting a dark red light... At the end of the passage, something seemed to be wriggling, making a creepy rustling sound... "Wait," Tong Yongshi suddenly grabbed Chu Feng's arm, "Listen..."

The rustling sound grew clearer, like countless tiny claws scraping against the rock, making one's scalp tingle. Chu Feng gripped the God-Slaying Sword tightly, held his breath, and cautiously moved forward. At the end of the passage, the dark red tumor on the pylcnpovatь became more clearly visible, and a nauseating stench filled the air.

"Be careful!" Chu Feng reminded in a low voice, and Tong Yongshi also nervously gripped the weapon in his hand.

The two slowly approached, finally getting a clearer look at the squirming creatures. They were countless small evil spirits, spider-like but with bat-like wings. They were pitch black, gleaming with a chilling, dim light. They swarmed densely around the tumor, making a creepy rustling sound as if gnawing at something.

"So many!" Tong Yongshi took a breath of cold air, and the weapon in his hand trembled slightly.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, and a flash of light emanated from his God-Slaying Sword. "What are you afraid of? Follow me!" He said firmly, charging forward. His bravery infected Tong Yongshi, who, though somewhat timid at first, mustered up the courage and followed closely behind him, not flinching.

Chu Feng wielded the God-Slaying Sword, its light flashing like a rainbow as he instantly slew several small evil spirits. While individually weak, these evil spirits were numerous and incredibly fast, making them difficult to defend against. Like a black tide, they surged towards Chu Feng and the young warrior, their sharp claws scratching at their armor with a piercing scraping sound.

"Damn! There are too many of these guys!" Tong Yongshi waved his weapon and struggled to resist the attacks of the evil spirits. He had several scars on his body.

Chu Feng also felt the pressure. Although these small evil spirits posed little threat individually, their dense attack was too much for him to handle. He waved his sword to block them while observing his surroundings, looking for a way out.

"Chu Feng! Be careful!" The cry of Tong Yongshi was heard.

Chu Feng turned around suddenly and saw a small evil spirit attacking him from behind, its sharp claws piercing his back. In the critical moment, Chu Feng dodged to the side and swung the God-Slaying Sword back, slicing the evil spirit in two.

"We can't go on like this, we will be exhausted to death!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, feeling extremely anxious.

At this moment, Pan Yue's voice came from the other side of the passage: "Chu Feng! We are back!"

Pan Yue rushed back with Researcher Xiong, Lu Sacrifice, and Senior Wei, the Night Watchman. Senior Wei was an experienced captain-level Night Watchman who volunteered to join the operation in order to protect the safety of Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

"Senior Wei! Why are you back?" Chu Feng was surprised and delighted.

"We heard the sounds of fighting and were worried about you." Senior Wei, the Night Watchman, said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over the densely packed evil spirits around him. "It seems the situation is worse than we imagined."

"There are too many of these small evil spirits, and we can hardly cope with them." Chu Feng said truthfully.

Pan Yue carefully observed the small evil spirits' attack patterns, his brow furrowed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at one of them and said, "Look! Their attacks have a pattern! They always attack in groups of three, first two feinting from the side, then one attacking from the front!"

"Really!" Tong Yongshi also discovered this pattern.

"Everyone, do as Pan Yue said and concentrate on attacking the one attacking from the front!" Senior Wei the Night Watchman immediately gave the order.

With a clear strategy, everyone's morale was boosted and their coordination became more coordinated. Following Pan Yue's instructions, they concentrated their firepower on the evil spirits attacking from the front, gradually resolving the crisis.

Just when everyone thought the situation was improving, the dark red tumor on the pycnpoвatь suddenly began to throb violently, emitting a heart-pounding, low roar... "Not good..." Senior Wei Shouren's face suddenly changed, "It's going to..."

The dark red tumor in the пyльcnpoвatь was throbbing violently, emitting a low rumbling sound, like the beating of an evil heart. Senior Wei Shouren's face suddenly changed. "It's going to... hatch an even more powerful evil spirit!"

Before he finished speaking, cracks appeared on the surface of the tumor, and dark green mucus gushed out, accompanied by a sickening stench. A gigantic evil spirit slowly crawled out of the tumor. It had a spider-like body, bat-like wings, and a hideous human face. A highly corrosive liquid dripped from its mouth.

"Everyone! Get ready for battle!" Senior Wei the Night Watchman roared, and the long sword in his hand shone brightly.

The enormous evil spirit let out a sharp hiss and lunged at the crowd, brandishing its sharp claws. Chu Feng and Tong Yongshi bore the brunt of the attack, brandishing their weapons and desperately fending off the evil spirit's attacks. However, this evil spirit was far more powerful than the smaller ones before it, and each attack carried overwhelming force, putting Chu Feng and Tong Yongshi in imminent danger.

"Tong Yongshi! Left!" Chu Feng shouted, reminding Tong Yongshi to avoid the attack of the evil spirit.

Tong Yongshi dodged quickly, but was still scratched by the evil spirit's claws, and blood immediately gushed out. "I'm fine!" Tong Yongshi gritted his teeth and continued to fight.

"Be careful!" Chu Feng looked at Tong Yongshi with concern while fending off the evil spirit's attack. During the break in the battle, he quickly took out a bandage from his backpack and bandaged Tong Yongshi's wound. "Hold on!"

"Thank you!" Tong Yongshi looked at Chu Feng gratefully, his eyes full of brotherhood.

This brief interaction brought a touch of warmth to the originally tense atmosphere and made everyone more united.

Pan Yue carefully observed the giant evil spirit's attack from behind, his brow furrowed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Although its attacks are powerful, they are slow, and each attack is preceded by a clear omen! We can exploit this!"

Pan Yue quickly shared his findings with everyone and instructed them on how to cooperate, dodge attacks, and find opportunities to counterattack. Under his guidance, everyone gradually found a way to deal with the giant evil spirit. Although they were still at a disadvantage, they were no longer as embarrassed as before.

Senior Wei Shouren's experience and strength also played a crucial role. He was always able to block the evil spirit's deadly attacks at the most critical moment, buying time for the others. Although Researcher Xiong was not capable of fighting, he was constantly monitoring the evil spirit's various data with instruments, providing a basis for Pan Yue's analysis. Even Lu Sacrifice did his best to provide assistance to everyone.

After a fierce battle, the huge evil spirit was finally repelled by everyone's joint efforts. It let out an unwilling roar and disappeared deep into the tumor.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but everyone knew that this was only a temporary victory and the road ahead was even more dangerous.

As they continued to move deeper into the lair, the air became increasingly filled with a nauseating stench. The walls on both sides of the passage were covered with pylúcnpovatь tumors, as if new evil spirits would hatch at any moment.

As they walked, they saw a huge stone gate in front of them. It was covered with strange runes and emitted an eerie light. Senior Wei, the Night Watchman, stopped and stared at the stone gate with a serious look. "Behind this..."
