God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 148: Ancient City Secret Passage: Dangers 4

"Wait..." Chu Feng whispered, tightening the dagger in his hand.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air, mixed with some unknown smell of decay, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

What made him even more alert was that the surroundings were too quiet, so quiet that it didn't seem like an abandoned underground passage in an ancient city.

Lin Yue clutched Pan Yue's sleeve tightly, her face pale. "It feels so oppressive here..." she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.

Pan Yue also felt something was wrong. He looked around and whispered, "Be careful, there might be something here."

Chu Feng took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

He felt his body was a little heavy, as if there was some sticky gas in the air that was hindering their movements.

This feeling was not good, and reminded him of some settings in "Slaying God", where certain special environments would have negative effects on those who entered.

"This feeling... is like some kind of miasma." Pan Yue frowned and said, "It will affect our ability to move."

Chu Feng nodded, focused the flashlight beam forward, and carefully observed the situation in the passage.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, the ancient runes appeared even more eerie in the dim light, as if they were flowing slowly.

Suddenly, the flashlight beam shone on the ground not far ahead, where there seemed to be some scattered rubble.

"Wait, there..." Chu Feng pointed to the front and said in a low voice.

Pan Yue and Lin Yue followed Chu Feng's finger and found the rubble. It looked like it was placed there by humans, not collapsed naturally.

"Is it a trap?" Lin Yue asked nervously.

"It's hard to say." Chu Feng shook his head, "It could also be..."

Before he finished speaking, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the front.

"Hehehe, it seems you have discovered it..." A rough voice came from the darkness with a hint of teasing.

The treasure hunter leader Zhao slowly walked out of the darkness, followed by several treasure hunters holding weapons. They all had ferocious smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of greed and malice.

"It seems that you can't escape." The treasure hunter leader Zhao said with a sneer and slowly raised the weapon in his hand.

Chu Feng's eyes swept through the shadows behind the treasure hunter leader Zhao, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had long noticed the unusual fluctuations in the air and some tiny scratches on the walls on both sides of the passage - those were traces left by someone deliberately moving stones.

These treasure hunters thought they had set an ambush, but they didn't know that their every move was under Chu Feng's control.

"Escape?" Chu Feng chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Why should I run away?"

The treasure hunter leader Zhao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Boy, you're still stubborn even when you're about to die! Brothers, attack!"

The treasure hunters approached with a grin on their faces, their weapons flashing coldly.

Lin Yue turned pale with fright and clutched Pan Yue's arm tightly.

Although Pan Yue was a little nervous, he tried to stay calm and protected Lin Yue behind him.

"Don't be afraid," Chu Feng whispered to Pan Yue and Lin Yue, "I'm well prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, treasure hunters rushed forward.

Chu Feng was not in a hurry. He took light steps and moved through the crowd like a ghost. The dagger in his hand turned into silver light and accurately hit the acupoints of the treasure hunters, making them lose their combat effectiveness instantly.

When the treasure hunter leader Zhao saw Chu Feng's skills, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Damn it! This kid has some skills!" He glanced at Chu Feng viciously, then said to a man wearing a black cloak with a sinister face behind him, "Li, it's your turn to take action! Let them see the power of the evil spirit!"

The evil spirit believer known as "Li" smiled grimly, muttered something, and formed a strange mark with his hands.

A black gas gushed out from his body and quickly spread across the ground, filling the air with a disgusting stench.

"Hehehe..." A creepy scream came from the black air, and a hideous evil spirit slowly emerged, staring at Chu Feng and others with scarlet eyes.

"Be careful!" Chu Feng's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "This evil spirit is not easy to deal with!" He quickly took out a talisman from his backpack and chanted the spell in a low voice... "Pan Yue, cover me!"

Pan Yue nodded, a short knife appeared in his hand, and he was ready for battle.

Chu Feng suddenly threw the talisman at the evil spirit. The talisman burned in the air, emitting dazzling light... "The passage is narrow, follow me!" Chu Feng shouted and turned to run deep into the passage.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Treasure Hunter Leader Zhao chased after him with a sinister grin...

The light of the talisman suppressed the evil spirit briefly, but soon the black air surged again, and the evil spirit let out a shrill scream and rushed towards Chu Feng.

Chu Feng dodged to the side and barely avoided the sharp claws of the evil spirit. The dagger slashed across, leaving a shallow scar on the evil spirit, but it aroused its stronger ferocity.

"Pan Yue, left!" Chu Feng shouted, and cooperated with Pan Yue tacitly. The two of them were on the left and the right, using the narrow passage to restrict the movement of the evil spirit.

Although Pan Yue's dagger could not cause substantial damage to the evil spirit, it could effectively interfere with its attack and create opportunities for Chu Feng.

Lin Yue held on tightly to the corner of Chu Feng's clothes. She looked at Chu Feng who remained calm in danger, her eyes full of admiration.

She knew that Chu Feng would definitely protect her.

"Damn it, why is this guy so difficult to deal with!" The treasure hunter leader Zhao looked at Chu Feng with gritted teeth. He didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant young man would be so difficult to deal with.

While Chu Feng dodged the attacks of the evil spirits, he observed the surrounding terrain.

He noticed that there was a slight depression in the ground in front of the passage, which seemed to be a trap.

A bold plan formed in his mind.

He deliberately left a flaw to lure the evil spirit towards the trap.

The evil spirit was fooled and pounced on Chu Feng with a roar.

At this moment, Chu Feng suddenly jumped back and kicked the mechanism on the edge of the trap.

With a light "click" sound, the ground collapsed and the evil spirit was caught off guard and fell into the trap.

"What?!" The treasure hunter leader Zhao was shocked. He didn't expect that Chu Feng had this trick.

Chu Feng ignored the shock of the treasure hunter leader Zhao. He quickly took out a few talismans from his backpack and stuck them on the walls around the trap, forming a simple seal to trap the evil spirit inside.

"Let's go!" Chu Feng took Lin Yue's hand and said to Pan Yue, "We can't stay here for long."

The three of them continued to go deeper into the passage, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

A huge stone door appeared in front of them. It was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint golden light.

"This... is..." Pan Yue muttered to himself as he looked at the runes on the stone gate.

Chu Feng reached out and touched the stone door. A powerful force came from the stone door. He felt that there was a huge secret hidden behind this stone door.

"Push it open." An old voice suddenly echoed in the passage.
