Chapter 142: The Ruins Change: Danger Surrounds
Ross looked at Chu Feng and the others with a sinister smile on his face. Behind him, the huge black shadow gradually solidified, like an evil ghost crawling out from the depths of hell, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
"This is my real trump card." There was a hint of madness in his low voice.
Chu Feng and others had just experienced a battle and had not yet fully recovered, and they were constantly feeling physically exhausted.
Although Ross's men fought with the men in black, they clearly had the upper hand. The men in black were defeated one after another, and some of them even fell in a pool of blood.
"Chu Feng, what should we do now?" Pan Yue's tone was filled with anxiety. He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Dr. Ocean hid behind the two of them, his face pale and his lips trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was also frightened by this sudden change.
"Damn it!" One of Ross's men spat, pointing at Chu Feng and cursing, "You ignorant fellows, you actually dared to go against Lord Ross? You're simply courting death!" Another of his men laughed arrogantly, "You think you can protect this relic? That's wishful thinking! Hand over the clues obediently, and perhaps Lord Ross will spare your lives!"
Chu Feng gritted his teeth, he knew that the current situation was very unfavorable.
Ross's strength was far superior to theirs, and with this sudden appearance of a monster, they had almost no chance of winning.
Ross's wealth and status are well known in the world of the Night's Watch, but they are just two small apprentice Night's Watchmen, and the gap between them is like a chasm.
"Don't be afraid, we will definitely find a way!" Chu Feng tried to remain calm and comforted Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean, but he himself was unsure.
He looked around and his eyes fell on some complex patterns on the walls of the stone chamber.
These patterns seemed to be more than just decorations, more like an ancient mechanism… Ross waved his hand impatiently, and the dark shadow behind him let out a deafening roar and approached Chu Feng and the others.
"Go!" Ross gave the order.
Chu Feng's eyes fixed, and he suddenly pulled Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean over and ran towards the depths of the stone chamber. "Follow me!"
Chu Feng, Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean ran wildly in the intricate stone chamber, with Ross's men chasing them closely.
"This way!" Chu Feng caught a glimpse of a narrow passage and three people entered one after another.
The walls on both sides of the passage are engraved with strange runes, emitting a faint glow.
As Chu Feng ran, he quickly touched these runes and activated them in a specific order.
"What is he doing?" asked one of Ross's men in confusion.
"No matter what he does, chase him!" another subordinate urged impatiently.
As Ross's men rushed into the passage, the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a bottomless abyss below.
The men walking in front screamed and fell down, and the men behind them quickly stopped and looked at everything in front of them in horror.
"Damn it!" Ross roared and punched the wall, leaving a deep dent in the hard stone wall.
"This kid has some skills, but does he think he can escape from my grasp like this? Wishful thinking!" The dark shadow behind Ross roared, as if responding to his anger.
"Chase them! Even if we have to turn this ruins upside down, we must find them!"
Chu Feng took advantage of the terrain in the ruins and cleverly set up some simple defensive mechanisms, tripwires, falling rocks, and mazes. Ross's attacks were repeatedly frustrated, and he was even hit by falling rocks, leaving him covered in dust and in a miserable state.
"Waste! A bunch of waste!" Ross was furious. He never thought that he would be fooled by two trainee night watchmen.
His men didn't dare to make a sound, and they were all silent, for fear of angering him.
Ross had a gloomy face and sharp eyes. He began to observe the surrounding environment carefully and seemed to have discovered the pattern of the mechanism.
He no longer charged recklessly, but instead concentrated his strength on attacking a certain point in the passage.
The wall collapsed, revealing another passage.
Ross sneered, "What a trifle."
Chu Feng's expression changed, "He discovered..." He grabbed Pan Yue's shoulders, "Prepare for battle!"
Amidst the flying dust, Ross was like an angry lion, his fierce attacks pouring down like a storm.
Chu Feng and Pan Yue stood back to back, trying their best to resist Ross's fierce attack.
The flashes of swords and the sharp sounds of metal clashing echoed throughout the passage.
With a "clang" sound, the sharp blade in Ross's hand collided fiercely with Chu Feng's dagger, splashing dazzling sparks.
Chu Feng felt a numbness in his palm and almost couldn't hold the weapon in his hand.
Pan Yue seized the opportunity and attacked from the side, piercing Ross's ribs with his sharp dagger.
Ross snorted coldly and dodged to the side. The dagger scratched his clothes, leaving a shallow mark.
"You little minions, you think you can fight me?" Ross sneered disdainfully.
He flashed and approached Chu Feng again. The sharp blade in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, dazzling people.
"Chu Feng, be careful!" Dr. Ocean shouted anxiously from the side, his hands clenched tightly together, his eyes full of worry.
Chu Feng gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his arms, and kept his eyes fixed on Ross's movements.
At the moment when Ross swung his sword again, Chu Feng suddenly discovered a subtle flaw in his action.
He seized this fleeting opportunity, ducked down suddenly, avoided Ross's attack, and at the same time stabbed Ross's abdomen with the dagger in his hand at a tricky angle.
"Puff!" With a light sound, the dagger pierced Ross's abdomen. Ross groaned and staggered back a few steps.
"You actually..." Ross covered his wound, his eyes full of disbelief.
Chu Feng and Pan Yue looked at each other and saw the glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.
However, before they could be happy, Ross suddenly raised his head, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it!" Chu Feng cursed inwardly. He knew that his previous attack did not cause much damage to Ross.
Ross pounced again, faster and more powerful than before.
The sharp blade in his hand cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and went straight to Chu Feng's throat.
"Chu Feng!" Dr. Ocean exclaimed.
At this critical moment, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out from the depths of the passage... "Hehehe..."
