God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 118: Escape from the Trap: Breaking the Siege with Wisdom

"Damn, this place..." Chu Feng cursed softly and groped the cold wall. The secret trading room was larger than he had imagined, and the air was filled with a damp and decayed smell.

He held his breath, trying not to make any sound.

In the darkness, any slightest movement was magnified, as if countless pairs of eyes were lurking and watching him.

Suddenly, a slight sound of metal friction came from deep in the corridor. Chu Feng immediately became alert and slowed down.

He moved slowly, sticking to the wall, trying not to bump into anything.

"Boss, you are really smart. This kid will definitely not escape from your grasp!" A flattering voice sounded in the darkness.

"Hmph, a greenhorn trainee Night's Watchman dares to fight us?" another voice said with disdain. "Once we catch him, I'll make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

Chu Feng's heart sank. He knew that the leader of the Sun Dark Force must have set an ambush at the exit. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

The leader of the dark forces, Sun, stood at the exit of the trading room, playing with an ancient ring in his hand, with a cruel smile on his lips.

"This kid is quite good at hiding, but I want to see how long he can hide."

Chu Feng accidentally stepped on a loose stone slab, the mechanism was activated, and several sharp poisonous needles shot out from the wall.

He reacted quickly, dodging sideways. The poison needle flew past his cheek, causing a stinging pain.

"Not good!" Chu Feng cried out inwardly, he knew that his position had been exposed.

"There!" The flattering voice sounded again, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Chu Feng ignored the pursuers. He stared at the trap that had just been triggered, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

"Interesting..." he muttered to himself, bending down to pick up a piece of gravel.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the triggering mechanism of the trap.

The poison needle launcher is hidden in the gap of the wall and connected to the pressure mechanism on the ground.

The gravel he picked up was just big enough to jam the mechanism and prevent it from being triggered again.

"In that case..." Chu Feng curled his lips into a sneer and stuffed the gravel into the gap of the mechanism.

With a slight click, the mechanism was fixed.

Chu Feng used the same trick again, using inconspicuous debris such as gravel and broken wood to cleverly disarm several dangerous mechanisms in the corridor.

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the shouting was becoming clearer and clearer, but Chu Feng seemed unusually calm.

He even deliberately slowed down his pace, leaving some less obvious traces to lure the pursuers into the trap area he had set.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, a pursuer stepped into the trap set by Chu Feng, triggering the hidden trap, and screams echoed in the corridor.

"Waste!" The voice of the leader of the Sun Dark Force was filled with anger. "Everyone, be careful! This kid is full of tricks!"

Chu Feng used the trap as cover to create some distance between himself and the pursuers.

He knew that the leader of the dark forces, Sun, would not give up, and he had to find a way out as soon as possible.

Just as he was about to reach another exit of the trading room, a figure blocked his way.

"Chu Feng, you can't leave." Lin Xiao's voice was particularly clear in the darkness, with a hint of complex emotions in his tone.

Chu Feng was startled and stopped. In the dim light, Lin Xiao's figure seemed particularly mysterious, and her eyes seemed to hide some secret.

"Why?" Chu Feng asked.

Lin Xiao did not answer, but just shook his head and stretched out his hand to block Chu Feng's way.

At the other end of the corridor, the footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the voice of the leader of Sun's dark forces was faintly heard.

Chu Feng looked at Lin Xiao, then at the pursuers behind him, feeling extremely anxious.

"Get out of the way." Chu Feng's voice was low and firm.

Lin Xiao looked into Chu Feng's eyes with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. Chu Feng was startled, but still made up his mind to leave.

He knew that now was not the time to indulge in sentimental feelings and he had to escape from here as soon as possible.

"I have to go." Chu Feng's tone was firm and unquestionable.

The voice of Sun, the leader of the dark forces, was getting closer and closer, mixed with curses and roars. In the distance, it seemed that other forces had joined the hunt, and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Chu Feng.

The atmosphere was tense and Chu Feng's palms were slightly sweaty.

He knew that Sun, the leader of the dark forces, was cruel and would never let him go.

I learned from the intelligence dealer Li before that the leader of the dark forces, Sun, once wiped out an entire family for a worthless antique, using extremely cruel means.

Thinking of this, Chu Feng felt an even greater sense of urgency.

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

Chu Feng pretended to talk to Lin Xiao, turned slightly sideways, approached her, and whispered, "Believe me, I will definitely come back." Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Xiao slightly relaxed her vigilance, he suddenly exerted force and flashed past her.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand to grab him, but only grabbed air.

She stood there in a daze, her eyes complicated, with worry, reluctance, and a hint of... relief?

Chu Feng rushed to the exit in a few steps and pushed open the heavy iron door with force.

Outside the door is a complex network of alleys, dimly lit, like a maze.

He knew that the leader of Sun's dark forces must have set other traps outside, waiting for him to fall into them.

He moved quickly through the alleys, the wind whistling in his ears, and the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.

He must remain calm and not panic, as every choice may determine his life or death.

Suddenly, at a corner, a figure blocked his way again.

It’s Lin Xiao again.

She stood there, motionless, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

Chu Feng's heart sank suddenly...
