God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 146 Ancient City Trap: Dangers All Around

Behind the hidden entrance is a deep passage, and the air is filled with an ancient and damp scent.

Chu Feng raised the torch, and the dim light illuminated a short distance ahead, while the rest was still hidden in darkness.

The walls on both sides of the passage were still engraved with those strange symbols. Pan Yue stopped from time to time, observing carefully with a frown on his face.

"These symbols... I seem to have seen similar ones in ancient books, but I can't remember them at the moment..." Pan Yue muttered to himself, reaching out and gently stroking the cold stone wall, trying to find a clue from it.

"Be careful!" Chu Feng suddenly shouted and pushed Pan Yue away.

Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow shot out from the place where Pan Yue had just touched, and hit the opposite wall, with the arrow tail buzzing.

Pan Yue was still in shock, with cold sweat running down his back.

"That was a close call! Thank you so much, Chu Feng!" Pan Yue looked at Chu Feng gratefully, but found that Chu Feng's arm was cut by the arrow, and blood was slowly oozing out.

"It's just a minor injury, it's okay." Chu Feng waved his hand and took out a bandage from his backpack and bandaged it simply.

Seeing this, Lin Yue, who was following behind, hurried forward and asked with concern: "Chu Feng, are you okay? Are you seriously injured?"

"It's really okay, don't worry." Chu Feng smiled at Lin Yue and tried to appear relaxed.

However, the worry in Lin Yue's eyes did not diminish at all, but became even more intense. She knew that Chu Feng was injured in order to save Pan Yue.

From deep within the passage came the rough laughter of the Zhao treasure hunter leader: "Looks like someone has triggered the mechanism for us, saving us a lot of trouble! Brothers, follow!"

Then, a noisy sound of footsteps came from afar, and the treasure hunters were rushing towards them.

The voice of Li Xieling's followers sounded coldly: "This ancient city is full of traps, so let them help us explore the way first!"

Chu Feng's face darkened. He knew that they had to find a way to crack the mechanism as soon as possible, otherwise they would be in an even more dangerous situation.

He stared at the symbols on the wall, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind... "Pan Yue, look at these symbols, do they look like..."

"Pan Yue, look at these symbols, do they look like... a star map?" Chu Feng pointed at the symbols on the wall, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.

Pan Yue observed it carefully and suddenly realized, "Yes! It's a star map! I remember now. Ancient books record that the design concept of this ancient city is 'harmony between man and nature'. The triggering and decryption of the mechanisms are all related to the stars!"

Chu Feng quickly connected the star map with the mechanism he had encountered before in his mind and found that they were indeed consistent.

He immediately instructed everyone: "Everyone be careful, follow the directions on the star map and avoid those locations corresponding to evil stars!"

Everyone moved according to Chu Feng's instructions with some doubts. Sure enough, the place where the arrow mechanism was triggered before corresponded to the "Pojun Star" on the star map.

On the following journey, Chu Feng relied on his understanding of the star map and his keen observation of the mechanisms to accurately predict and avoid various traps, such as flying knives, falling rocks, poison gas... Everyone was stunned and admired Chu Feng very much.

Lin Yue's eyes were full of admiration, and she felt that Chu Feng was omnipotent.

At the other end of the passage, the treasure hunter leader Zhao originally thought that Chu Feng and others would be trapped in the mechanism, and was secretly proud of himself. He did not expect that they would pass through part of the mechanism so smoothly.

His face turned ashen and he threw the torch in his hand to the ground.

"Useless! A bunch of useless! They can't even handle a few brats!"

Li Xieling's follower smiled sinisterly and said, "Don't worry, boss. I have a way to make it impossible for them to move." He took out a black cloth bag from his arms. There seemed to be some living creature in it, making a slight hissing sound.

Chu Feng and others continued to move forward, but the atmosphere gradually became weird.

The air around seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe.

Pan Yue felt a chill on his back and whispered, "Chu Feng, I feel something is wrong..."

At this moment, several dark shadows emerged from the darkness and rushed towards everyone. Chu Feng took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp, "Evil spirit!"

The black shadow came at an extremely fast speed, carrying a disgusting fishy smell.

Chu Feng reacted quickly, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed one of the evil spirits fiercely.

The dagger pierced into the evil spirit's body, making a teeth-grinding friction sound, and black-green liquid splashed out, corroding the ground.

"Be careful, the body fluids of these evil spirits are corrosive!" Chu Feng warned loudly.

Pan Yue also drew out his sword, and with a flash of sword light, he cut an evil spirit that tried to sneak attack Lin Yue into two pieces.

Although Lin Yue had no fighting ability, he bravely picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the approaching evil spirit.

The battle was extremely fierce. Chu Feng and Pan Yue stood back to back, struggling to resist the evil spirits that were surging like a tide.

Chu Feng's arm was scratched by an evil spirit, and blood flowed down the wound.

"Chu Feng, you are injured!" Lin Yue shouted anxiously.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth, brandished his dagger, and repelled the evil spirit. "I'm fine, just a minor injury."

After the battle, Lin Yue looked at the wound on Chu Feng's arm with heartache, and carefully took out a handkerchief to bandage him.

Chu Feng felt warm in his heart when he saw her gentle look.

"Thank you, Lin Yue."

"You're welcome, but you must be careful." Lin Yue said worriedly.

After a short rest, they continued on their way.

The following mechanisms became more complicated, and the star map on the wall became more obscure and difficult to understand.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue racked their brains and cracked the mechanism step by step, taking every step with extreme caution.

They came to an ancient room with a stone table in the center, and on the stone table sat a gleaming fragment.

"What is this?" Pan Yue walked forward curiously.

Chu Feng also felt that this fragment was unusual. He reached out to pick it up, but suddenly, the door of the room was knocked open, and the treasure hunter leader Zhao rushed in with a group of people, with greedy smiles on his face... "Found you!"
