God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 174: Fortress Exploration: Deep into the Tiger's Den

"This is... a signal receiver." Su Yao answered timidly, holding the box tightly, "It can be used to detect energy fluctuations." Chu Feng's heart moved, this might be the key to their breakthrough!

"Can you find the source of the energy?" he asked anxiously.

Su Yao nodded, and operated the box with her small hands. A flashing light appeared on the screen, moving towards the depths of the fortress.

"It's moving!" Pan Yue exclaimed.

"Chase!" Chu Feng made a prompt decision. He knew he had to seize this opportunity.

The three of them followed the direction indicated by the light and shuttled through the intricate fortress passages.

Patrolling soldiers passed by from time to time, and they could only hide carefully. The atmosphere was tense and suffocating.

Su Yao followed Chu Feng closely, her face pale, but she suppressed her fear and tried to remain calm.

Pan Yue looked back from time to time with a serious expression, as if he was worried about the pursuers.

After going deep into the fortress, they found some strange mechanical devices, flashing a strange red light, which was consistent with the energy fluctuation frequency on Su Yao's detector.

Chu Feng observed carefully and found that these devices were engraved with some ancient runes, emitting an unsettling aura.

"What are these things?" Pan Yue frowned, feeling the evil power in the air.

Su Yao shook her head and said that she had never seen such a device.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows, with a cold light flashing in his hand.

"Who are you?" The man was wearing the uniform of a fortress engineer, but his eyes were full of hostility.

It was Engineer Chen.

Chu Feng's heart trembled, and he stared at the other party vigilantly.

"We are..." He was about to explain, but found that Engineer Chen's eyes were empty and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

not good!

Controlled by evil spirits!

Engineer Chen let out a strange laugh and activated the surrounding mechanical devices.

The ground suddenly cracked, and Chu Feng was unable to dodge. His legs were scratched by sharp metal fragments, and blood instantly dyed his trouser legs red.

"Chu Feng!" Su Yao exclaimed, her eyes full of worry.

Pan Yue also nervously gripped the weapon in his hand, he knew they were in a dangerous situation.

Engineer Chen laughed triumphantly and approached step by step: "You overestimated boy, this is where you will die!" The cold light in his hand flashed, and aimed at Chu Feng's heart... "Do you think you can win like this?" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and his eyes were fixed on a device in Engineer Chen's hand, which was flashing with a light different from the other devices.

Chu Feng endured the severe pain in his leg. He knew he couldn't panic at this moment.

The madness in Engineer Chen's eyes and the strange red light on the mechanical device made him realize that ordinary means of attack would probably not be effective.

He must find the opponent's weakness.

Chu Feng's eyes were fixed on the device in Engineer Chen's hand. The flickering light there was different from other devices and seemed to be some kind of control core.

"Are you controlling these devices?" Chu Feng asked tentatively, trying to distract the other party.

Engineer Chen laughed wildly: "That's right! These devices are connected to a powerful evil spirit, and you will all become its sacrifice!" His words confirmed Chu Feng's guess.

Control the core!

As long as we destroy it, we can resolve the current crisis.

The device in Engineer Chen's hand flashed more violently, and the surrounding mechanical devices also made a buzzing sound, flashing red light, as if they were ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

The atmosphere was suffocating and depressing.

Su Yao and Pan Yue both looked at Chu Feng nervously. They knew that all their hopes rested on him.

"Pan Yue, cover me!" Chu Feng shouted softly and rushed forward suddenly.

Pan Yue reacted immediately, condensing energy in his hands to form a barrier to block the incoming energy beam.

Chu Feng took the opportunity to go around behind Engineer Chen and aimed directly at the control core in his hand.

Engineer Chen seemed to have not expected Chu Feng to be so decisive, and was stunned for a moment.

Chu Feng seized the opportunity, grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard.

Engineer Chen felt pain and dropped the device in his hand to the ground.

Chu Feng quickly picked up the device and squeezed it hard. The device shattered instantly and the flashing red light went out.

The surrounding mechanical devices stopped working, and Engineer Chen's eyes regained a bit of clarity, but he soon became miserable again, as if something was tearing his soul apart.

"Ah!" He screamed in pain and fell to the ground, twitching.

Chu Feng knew that the evil spirit that controlled him was taking revenge.

He temporarily subdued Engineer Chen, but he also knew that this was only a temporary measure.

At this moment, a rapid alarm sounded, echoing throughout the fortress.

"Intruder spotted! Area C is blocked! Repeat, Area C is blocked!" The fortress commander's voice was cold and ruthless, and it spread to every corner through the radio.

"Oh no, they found out!" Pan Yue's face changed.

Chu Feng also realized that the situation was not good and they had to leave here as soon as possible.

He helped Su Yao up and said to Pan Yue, "Let's go!" The three of them quickly ran towards the exit. They heard heavy footsteps behind them and the pursuers were getting closer and closer.

"Stop! You can't run away!" The fortress commander's voice sounded at the end of the corridor, with a hint of teasing and cruelty.

Chu Feng looked back, his eyes firm and cold.

"Then let's give it a try." In the corridor, the metal walls reflected the dazzling light, and the sounds of footsteps and shouts intertwined into one.

Chu Feng and the other two were like trapped beasts, fleeing for their lives in the steel jungle.

The fortress soldiers were well-trained and pursued relentlessly. The energy beams from the laser guns kept passing by them, leaving charred marks on the walls.

"Chu Feng, to the left!" Pan Yue was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing Chu Feng and avoiding a deadly beam of energy.

At the same time, the energy ball condensed in his hand roared out, knocking the two soldiers to the ground.

However, before they could catch their breath, Engineer Chen appeared again.

His eyes were bloodshot and his body swelled up. His originally thin frame was filled with explosive power.

After being attacked by the evil spirit, he gained even more powerful strength.

"Die!" Engineer Chen roared, waving his huge mechanical arm and smashing towards Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was unable to dodge and was hit on the shoulder by the mechanical arm. He felt a sharp pain and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

"Chu Feng!" Su Yao exclaimed, her eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

Pan Yue seized the opportunity and erected an energy barrier in front of Chu Feng. At the same time, his other hand condensed a sharp energy blade and stabbed it fiercely into Engineer Chen's back.

Engineer Chen roared in pain, but his attack momentum did not diminish in the slightest.

He seemed unable to feel pain and was completely controlled by the evil spirit, becoming a machine that only knew how to kill.

"We must control him again!" Chu Feng growled. He noticed a flashing red device on the back of Engineer Chen's neck. It was the core of the evil spirit's control.

"Cover me!" Chu Feng rushed towards Engineer Chen again.

Pan Yue's energy barrier opened a path for him, and energy balls and energy blades attacked alternately, restraining Engineer Chen's actions.

Chu Feng seized the opportunity, leaped up, and kicked Engineer Chen in the chest, causing him to stagger back.

Then he quickly grabbed the device on the back of Engineer Chen's neck and twisted it hard.

The device shattered, the red light went out, and Engineer Chen fell to the ground again, twitching in pain.

Su Yao hurried over, took out the first aid supplies from her backpack, and carefully bandaged Chu Feng's wound. "Does it hurt?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"It's just a minor injury, it's okay." Chu Feng looked at Su Yao's worried eyes and felt warm in his heart.

The alarm still rang throughout the fortress, and the footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer.

They must find the source of the energy fluctuations as soon as possible and leave here.

Chu Feng endured the pain and led the two of them forward.

At a fork in the road, Chu Feng suddenly stopped. He felt a strong energy fluctuation coming from the left.

"This way!" He ran all the way along the corridor, with Pan Yue and Su Yao following closely behind.

Eventually, they came to a large metal door.

A faint blue light shone through the crack in the door, and the energy fluctuations came from here.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the door... A researcher in a white coat had his back to them, operating a complicated instrument. The instrument made a buzzing sound and emitted disturbing energy fluctuations.

He seemed unaware of their arrival, still concentrating on the work in his hands.

Pan Yue whispered, "Be careful..."
