God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Mirror Lake, true to its name, reflects the sky, trees, and the lingering mist on its tranquil surface like a giant mirror, creating a strange space where illusion and reality intertwine. The light at the center of the lake flickers and fades, shimmering like breathing, tempting curiosity and instilling inexplicable fear.

"Be careful, Pan Yue," Chu Feng whispered. He gripped his sword tightly and looked around cautiously. The thick fog limited their vision to less than ten meters. The air was filled with a damp, cold smell that made people shudder.

"I know. This fog is so strange, it feels like it has life." Pan Yue responded and drew his own weapon, a slender dagger. He followed Chu Feng carefully, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

Night Watch Supervisor Li snorted coldly: "Don't be startled, it's just ordinary fog. Speed ​​up, complete the task earlier and go back earlier." His tone was full of impatience, and he seemed a little disdainful of Chu Feng and Pan Yue's caution.

The family of Zhou, the missing person, urged anxiously: "Two night watchmen, please find my son as soon as possible! He has been missing for three days!" His voice trembled and his eyes were full of despair.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to argue. He turned to Pan Yue and said, "Let's split up and explore the lake to see if there are any clues."

"Okay." Pan Yue nodded and then walked to the left.

Chu Feng moved forward cautiously along the right side, taking every step with extreme caution and carefully observing his surroundings. The ground near the lake was slippery and covered with moss, making it easy to slip if you weren't careful.

"Ah!" A cry of surprise broke the silence around.

Chu Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Pan Yue's figure disappear in the thick fog.

"Pan Yue!" Chu Feng shouted and rushed over immediately.

After clearing away the thick fog, Chu Feng saw Pan Yue sitting in a shallow pit, holding his ankle with a painful expression on his face.

"What's going on?" Chu Feng asked hurriedly.

"I accidentally stepped on empty air and I think I twisted my ankle." Pan Yue said gritting his teeth.

Chu Feng's heart sank. Pan Yue's injury would undoubtedly slow down their actions, and the sarcasm of the Night Watch Supervisor Li made him even more upset.

"You useless piece of shit! You can't even handle such a small matter!" Night Watch Supervisor Li scolded mercilessly.

The family of Zhou's missing son was also extremely anxious: "What should we do? How long will it take for us to find our son?"

Chu Feng crouched down and carefully examined Pan Yue's injuries. The thick fog obscured his vision, but a strange intuition surged within Chu Feng. He sensed an unusual flow of air around him, and the ground seemed somewhat soft. He quickly determined that this seemingly ordinary shallow pit might conceal a greater danger.

"Don't move. Your ankle is sprained. Let me help you," Chu Feng whispered, calmly helping Pan Yue onto a more solid rock. He took some herbs from his backpack, crushed them, and applied them to Pan Yue's ankle, securing it with a bandage.

"You...how do you know there is danger here?" Pan Yue asked doubtfully. He felt that Chu Feng's movements and expressions were a little strange.

Chu Feng didn't explain, simply saying, "Intuition." He looked around, his sharp eyes seemingly able to penetrate the thick fog and discern the danger hidden within. He noticed some tiny scratches on the ground, like the marks left by some large creature crawling. Furthermore, a faint fishy smell permeated the air, further confirming his suspicions.

"We must leave here as soon as possible." Chu Feng said in a deep voice, "It's not safe here."

Night Watch Supervisor Li interrupted him impatiently: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just ordinary fog and a small pit. Where is the danger?"

The family of Zhou's missing person also said anxiously: "Two Night Watchmen, please don't waste time, please help me find my son quickly!"

At this moment, the surface of the lake suddenly rolled violently, splashing water everywhere, and thick fog also rolled along, as if some huge creature was churning in the water.

"Roar!" A deafening roar came from the lake, and then a huge black shadow jumped out of the lake, opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and pounced on everyone.

King of the forest beasts!

Its body was covered in thick scales that gleamed with a metallic sheen, and its huge, scarlet eyes were filled with ferocity and violence. Its body was enormous, standing three or four meters tall, pressing down like a small mountain.

"Be careful!" Chu Feng shouted, pushing aside Pan Yue and the family of Zhou's missing person. He drew his sword and, with a flash of his body, stepped in front of the beast. The sword's tip sliced ​​through the air, making a crisp sound as it pierced the beast's throat.

"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue exclaimed. He wanted to go forward to help, but the injury to his ankle prevented him from moving.

Murong Xue appeared not far away at some point. A faint blue light flickered in her hand and she was muttering something.

Night Watch Supervisor Li's face changed drastically. He obviously did not expect to encounter such a powerful creature and was stunned for a moment.

Chu Feng's eyes were determined. He knew that he had to stop the beast, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his strength on the sword in his hand... "Come on!"

Chu Feng's longsword collided with the beast's sharp claws, sending out dazzling sparks. The beast's power was immense, and each attack carried an overwhelming momentum. Chu Feng felt his knuckles go numb from the shock. He fought and retreated, searching for a flaw in the beast's attack.

Although the beast's attack was ferocious, it lacked flexibility, something Chu Feng quickly discovered. He began to exploit his surroundings to counterattack, sometimes hiding behind giant trees, sometimes leaping from the height difference of rocks. Each attack perfectly avoided the beast's sharp edge and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Chu Feng, its weakness is in the abdomen!" Pan Yue reminded loudly from the side. His analytical ability came in handy at the critical moment.

Murong Xue cast some small spells on the side. Although the power was not great, it was able to effectively disrupt the beast's movements and create an opportunity for Chu Feng. Her slender fingers danced, and dots of blue light flew towards the beast, exploding on its body and forming pieces of frost, slowing it down.

Chu Feng seized the opportunity and moved like lightning, circling the side of the beast. His long sword, with a sharp sword energy, pierced the beast's abdomen. The beast roared in pain, and its huge body shook slightly, obviously suffering a serious injury.

But the beast's ferocity was aroused, and it attacked Chu Feng even more frantically. Chu Feng didn't dare to be careless, and continued to use his agility to deal with the beast. He sometimes feinted, sometimes retreated, each move carefully calculated, toying with the beast.

Finally, after a fierce exchange, Chu Feng found the perfect moment to attack. He gathered all his strength, raised his sword high, and then, with the force of thunder, fiercely stabbed it into the beast's vitals.

The giant beast let out a final unwilling roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"We won!" Pan Yue shouted excitedly.

Murong Xue's eyes were filled with admiration when she saw Chu Feng defeat the giant beast. She excitedly threw herself into Chu Feng's arms and hugged him tightly. "Chu Feng, you are so amazing!"

Chu Feng also took the opportunity to hug Murong Xue, feeling the soft and gentle body in his arms, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently patted Murong Xue's back and said softly, "It's okay, everything is over."

Night Watch Supervisor Li and the family members of Zhou's missing persons also came over, their faces filled with shock and admiration. They had never expected that these two young apprentice Night Watchmen could defeat such a powerful creature.

The noise of the battle gradually died down, and the lake returned to calm, but a tense atmosphere still hung in the air. In the center of the lake, an object gleaming with a strange light caught Chu Feng's attention. What was that?

Murong Xue seemed to have noticed Chu Feng's gaze as well. Her eyes flickered, as if she had some secret she wanted to hide.

Chu Feng looked at the ancient tree hole not far from the lake. The tree hole exuded a mysterious aura, as if it was hiding some secret. He took a step and walked towards the tree hole... "Wait," Murong Xue suddenly said, "there..."
