God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 141: Exploring the Deep Sea: The True Appearance of Evil Spirits

The cold stone door glowed faintly in the dim light, and the twisted runes on it looked like wriggling worms, making people's scalps tingle.

The moment Chu Feng touched the rune, a powerful force suddenly erupted and bounced him away.

He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground. He felt a severe numbness in his arms and almost lost consciousness.

"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean rushed forward to help him up. "Are you okay?"

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and shook his head, his face pale.

He looked down at his slightly shaking arms, his heart filled with shock.

This power far exceeded any enemy he had ever encountered.

"This door... is not simple." Dr. Ocean's voice trembled slightly. He looked at the stone door uneasily, as if some terrible existence was lurking above it.

Pan Yue frowned and carefully observed the runes on the stone door, trying to find some clues from them.

"These runes... I seem to have seen them somewhere..." He muttered to himself.

Just then, footsteps were heard from deep in the passage, accompanied by arrogant laughter.

"It seems you have found the entrance. It really saved me a lot of effort."

Ross appeared at the entrance of the passage with several fully armed companions, with a scornful smile on his face.

"So, newbies, can't open this door? Do you want me to give you a hand?"

Chu Feng endured the pain in his arm, stood up, and looked at Ross coldly. "I don't need your fake kindness."

"Hmph, you stubborn brat." A burly companion beside Ross snorted disdainfully. "You low-ranking Night's Watchmen think you can open this stone door that seals away an ancient evil spirit? You're simply wishful thinking!"

Ross ignored Chu Feng's provocation, but walked to the stone gate with interest and looked at the runes on it carefully.

"Tsk tsk, it really is the seal of the ancient evil spirit. No wonder you little guys are helpless." He stretched out his hand, lightly touched the rune with his fingertips, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"But for me, it's just a piece of cake."

Pan Yue suddenly said, "Wait! These runes... I remember! This is the 'Deep Sea Seal' recorded in ancient books. It can only be opened using a specific method. Otherwise, the seal will be triggered and the evil spirits inside will be released!"

Ross glanced at him disdainfully. "Oh? Really? Then tell me, how do you open this door?"

Pan Yue ignored Ross's ridicule and walked to the stone gate, carefully observing the order of the runes...

Pan Yue's fingers moved slowly along the cold stone door, his eyes fixed on the twisted runes.

He muttered some obscure spells in a low voice, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes suddenly realizing.

The air around him seemed to freeze, and only his low chanting voice echoed in the passage.

"Found it!" Pan Yue suddenly shouted excitedly, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

"These runes are not random. They are actually an ancient marine script that records the method to open the stone door!"

He touched the runes on the stone door one by one in the order they were deciphered.

As the last rune was lit up, the stone door made a dull roar and slowly opened to both sides.

A cold air poured out from the crack in the door, mixed with a disgusting fishy smell.

Chu Feng once again admired Pan Yue's wisdom. He patted Pan Yue on the shoulder and praised him sincerely: "Amazing, Pan Yue! I knew you could do it!"

Behind the stone door was not the dark abyss as imagined, but a spacious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber stands a huge stone tablet, engraved with dense text and patterns.

"These... are records about the origin of evil spirits!" Dr. Ocean shouted excitedly. He stroked the words on the stone tablet with trembling hands, as if touching the pulse of history.

The contents recorded on the stone tablet are shocking.

It turns out that the evil spirit was not born naturally, but was mutated from an ancient deep-sea creature.

These creatures were originally the guardians of the ocean, but for some reason, they were contaminated by a mysterious force and turned into bloodthirsty and brutal evil spirits.

Ross's voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the passage: "It seems you have discovered something extraordinary." He walked in aggressively with a group of people, with greed flashing in his eyes.

"Give me those records, and I may consider sparing your lives."

Ross's men also started shouting, "Hand it over if you know what's good for you! Otherwise..."

Ross ignored his men's shouting and walked straight to the stone tablet, trying to snatch the records on it.

"These things belong to me!" He stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone tablet.

"Don't even think about it!" Chu Feng stood in front of the stone tablet and confronted Ross with a firm gaze.

He knew that these records were the key to unlocking the truth about the evil shadow and must not fall into Ross's hands.

"Then let's see if you have the ability!" Ross sneered, and with a flash of his body, he pounced towards Chu Feng... The sharp blade in his hand cut through the air and went straight to Chu Feng's throat.

Chu Feng dodged Ross's attack by turning sideways, gathered a stream of energy in his hand, and counterattacked.

Ross obviously underestimated Chu Feng's fighting ability. He raised his sword to block in a hurry, and the sharp sound of metal collision echoed throughout the stone chamber.

"You think you can stop me?" Ross sneered disdainfully and attacked more fiercely.

His swordsmanship was sharp and swift, and every move was deadly. Chu Feng managed to dodge it with his flexible body.

"Chu Feng, we are here to help you!" Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean also joined the battle.

Although Pan Yue's attack was not as powerful as Chu Feng's, he was proficient in various strange spells. He used some control skills from time to time to interfere with Ross's actions and create opportunities for Chu Feng.

Although Dr. Ocean has no combat ability, he is very familiar with the environment inside the stone chamber and can remind Chu Feng in time to avoid some hidden traps.

"You're overestimating yourself!" Ross faced the two's attack with ease. The sharp blade in his hand spitted out like a venomous snake, forcing Chu Feng and the others to retreat step by step.

"Chu Feng, be careful!" Pan Yue suddenly shouted, and Ross's sword brushed past Chu Feng's shoulder, leaving a shallow blood mark.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't continue this passive defense. He seized an opportunity, gathered all his strength, and struck Ross in the chest with a fierce palm.

Ross was caught off guard and was knocked back several steps by the palm strike. Chu Feng took advantage of the victory and joined forces with Pan Yue to force Ross into the corner of the stone chamber.

"Do you think you can win like this?" Ross gasped, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the stone chamber. Chu Feng and the others looked back and saw Ross's men fighting with a group of mysterious men in black.

"What's going on?" Chu Feng felt an uneasy premonition in his heart.

Ross looked at Chu Feng and the others with a sinister smile on his face. Behind him, a huge black shadow slowly emerged...
