God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 145: Ancient City Mystery: Lost in Danger

The strong light faded, and the crack on the seabed had closed, leaving only a deep entrance, like the dark mouth of a giant beast.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and jumped into the water first, followed closely by Pan Yue.

Lin Yue held the rope a little nervously and was slowly let down by Dr. Ocean.

"It's... so cold here." Lin Yue's voice trembled slightly. The sea water was icy cold and the surroundings were dark, with only the diving light emitting a faint light.

"Follow us closely." Chu Feng's voice sounded a little dull in the water. He looked around. This lost ancient city was even larger than he had imagined. All kinds of strange-shaped buildings were looming in the dark sea, as if unknown dangers were lurking.

The moment he stepped into the ancient city, a strange feeling came over him and Chu Feng felt dizzy.

"What's going on?" He shook his head and felt that everything around him became blurry.

"I don't feel well either..." Pan Yue leaned against the wall, his face pale. "It seems like something is interfering with our perception."

Lin Yue clutched Chu Feng's arm tightly, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Are we...lost?"

"Don't panic." Chu Feng forced himself to remain calm. "Pan Yue, check for any clues."

Pan Yue endured the discomfort and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The ancient city has a unique architectural style, and the walls are engraved with all kinds of strange symbols, which seem to hide some secrets.

"These symbols... seem to be some kind of ancient writing." Pan Yue's voice trembled slightly. "I think I've seen them somewhere..."

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed from a distance. "I didn't expect someone would actually find this place..."

Treasure Hunter Leader Zhao appeared before them with a group of men, his eyes gleaming with greed. "All the treasures of this ancient city belong to me!"

Behind him, Li Xieling's followers laughed sinisterly: "These idiots thought they could find some treasure, but they are just making wedding dresses for us."

Mechanical expert Chen was debugging the equipment on the side and seemed to be uninterested in the conflict in front of him.

Chu Feng clenched his fists, feeling the powerful pressure from the opponent. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.

Pan Yue's face was solemn as he whispered, "These treasure hunters... I'm afraid they're just bait..." He pointed to a hidden corner in the distance, where a dark shadow flashed by...

Pan Yue pointed at the symbols on the wall, almost blurred by the seawater corrosion, and said, "The arrangement of these symbols is not without pattern. Look, every seven symbols there is a fish-like pattern. Fish usually symbolize direction. Perhaps..." He looked in the direction of the fish-shaped symbol and vaguely saw a long and narrow passage. "Perhaps, the real entrance is there."

Chu Feng patted Pan Yue's shoulder in appreciation and said, "Good eyesight!" Lin Yue also looked at him with admiration, which made Pan Yue feel a little uncomfortable, but a sense of pride welled up in his heart.

"Hmph, playing tricks!" The treasure hunter leader Zhao snorted disdainfully, "The treasures in this ancient city are all mine! You petty thieves also want a piece of the pie?" The men behind him burst into laughter, and the atmosphere group immediately began to flatter and praise the treasure hunter leader Zhao to the utmost.

Some people even pointed at Chu Feng and the others and shouted, "If you know what's good for you, get out of here and don't get in the way of Master Zhao getting rich!"

Li Xieling's followers hid in the crowd, and his cold eyes swept over Chu Feng and others, with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He secretly thought about how to use these treasure hunters to pave the way for his next plan.

The atmosphere was tense and a conflict was about to break out.

Chu Feng took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Yue, staring at the treasure hunter leader Zhao with a sharp gaze, "If you want the treasure, it depends on whether you have the ability to get it!" The spiritual power in his body surged, and a powerful aura burst out, which faintly suppressed the opponent's arrogance.

The face of treasure hunter leader Zhao changed slightly. He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous young man had such strength.

He was about to give the order to take action when suddenly, an old and majestic voice echoed in the ancient city: "Who are you, the rogue, who dares to make a noise here?"

An old man in a grey robe and holding an ancient wooden staff appeared out of thin air. His eyes were like lightning as he scanned the entire room. A powerful aura of oppression enveloped everyone.

The guardian of Sun Ancient City has arrived.

The old man slowly walked in front of the crowd, his eyes fell on Chu Feng, and he said in a deep voice: "Young man, there is a familiar aura on you..." He paused, then looked at the leader of the Zhao treasure hunters, "As for you..." He slammed his wooden staff on the ground, "What crime should you be punished for disturbing the peace of the ancient city!"

The face of the treasure hunter leader Zhao was uncertain. The appearance of the guardian of Sun Ancient City disrupted his plan.

He rolled his eyes and said with a forced smile: "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! We just admire the style of the ancient city and come here to see it." He glared at Chu Feng fiercely, as if to say that this account will be settled later.

His minions also restrained their arrogance, but their eyes towards Chu Feng and others were still full of hostility.

Chu Feng snorted coldly and ignored the hypocritical words of the treasure hunter leader Zhao.

He keenly realized that this guy was not a good person and would become a major hidden danger in the future.

Lin Yue grabbed Chu Feng's arm with some fear, and Chu Feng gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

He felt Lin Yue's dependence, and a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart. He secretly decided to protect her no matter what.

The guardian of Sun Ancient City glanced at everyone with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "The ancient city is a quiet place, and you are not allowed to make noise and disturb it. If you do it again, you will be severely punished!" After that, he turned and walked into the depths of the ancient city, and his figure gradually disappeared in the mist.

When the treasure hunter leader Zhao saw the guardian of Sun Ancient City leave, his face immediately turned gloomy.

He whispered a few instructions to his men, then gave Chu Feng a cold look and left with his men.

Li Xieling's believer hid in the crowd, looked at Chu Feng deeply, and disappeared silently.

Chu Feng watched them leave, feeling a faint sense of unease. He knew that the matter was far from over, and the leader of the Zhao treasure hunters would definitely not let it go.

"Let's go too." Chu Feng said to Pan Yue and Lin Yue.

Pan Yue nodded and pointed to the entrance of the passage he had discovered earlier, "Let's go over there and take a look."

The three of them moved forward cautiously along the narrow passage. The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with strange symbols.

Pan Yue stopped and observed the symbols carefully, muttering to himself: "These symbols... seem to have been seen somewhere..." He reached out and touched the cold stone wall. Suddenly, the symbols on the wall emitted a faint light, and a hidden entrance slowly opened.

Pan Yue suddenly retracted his hand, "This..."
