Chapter 137: Ruins Exploration: Evil Shadow Clues
The entrance to the ruins is like the mouth of a giant beast, quietly waiting for the arrival of its prey.
Chu Feng, Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean swam in carefully. The cold sea water soaked through their diving suits, bringing a biting chill.
The interior of the ruins is wider than imagined. Towering stone pillars support the dome, which is carved with strange runes and emits a faint blue light.
Ancient statues stand around in various postures, as if telling forgotten pieces of history.
"Something... doesn't feel right here." Pan Yue reached out and touched the cold stone wall, feeling a numbness at his fingertips.
His face turned slightly pale and he looked at Chu Feng anxiously.
Dr. Ocean also noticed something was wrong. He adjusted his glasses and said solemnly, "There seems to be some kind of energy in the air that is constantly eroding our bodies."
Chu Feng took a deep breath, feeling a dull pain in his lungs. "It seems this ruins is not a good place." He gripped his weapon tightly and looked around vigilantly.
Just then, a wave of water flow came from the entrance.
Ross appeared in front of them with several fully armed divers, an arrogant smile on his face.
"It seems you found it first," Ross's gaze lingered on Chu Feng for a moment, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "However, the treasures in these ruins are not something that a small character like you can get your hands on."
The divers behind him also laughed contemptuously, and one of them even pointed at Chu Feng arrogantly: "Just like you trainee Night's Watchmen, you think you can snatch things from our Lord Ross? You are really overestimating yourselves!"
Pan Yue clenched his fists and glared at the other party, but he also knew that the gap in strength between them and Ross was huge.
Ross ignored Pan Yue's anger and walked straight into the depths of the ruins. His men followed closely behind him, as if they didn't take Chu Feng and the others seriously at all.
"What should we do?" Dr. Ocean asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his tone.
Chu Feng looked at Ross's receding back, his eyes flickering.
He felt a powerful energy fluctuation coming from the depths of the ruins, which made him feel uneasy.
Suddenly, he felt a severe headache and everything in front of him began to blur... "Be careful!" Pan Yue's exclamation rang in his ears.
Chu Feng felt a violent vibration coming from under his feet, and a crack appeared in the ground...
The moment the ground cracked, Chu Feng felt dizzy.
He subconsciously closed his eyes, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: If time could flow back...
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back to a few seconds ago. The ground was intact, and Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean were also unharmed.
A severe headache came over him and Chu Feng clenched his teeth. He knew that this was the price of using the golden finger.
"Let's get out of here!" Chu Feng shouted and pulled the two of them back.
Almost at the same time, a huge crack appeared where they had just stood, and the bottomless darkness was like a giant beast that was ready to devour anyone.
Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean stared at the scene in amazement, still in shock.
"How...how did you do it?" Pan Yue asked stutteringly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Chu Feng smiled weakly without explaining. "Just good luck."
Ross and his group also came to this hall. Seeing the huge crack on the ground, Ross's face was gloomy.
"It seems you have discovered something." There was a hint of greed and threat in his tone.
"The things in these ruins are not something you can get your hands on." Ross's men shouted arrogantly, "If you know what's good for you, hand over the clues!"
The divers behind Ross also echoed in their tone with extreme contempt, as if Chu Feng and others were just ants that could be crushed at will.
One of the tall divers even took a step forward and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Feng's collar: "Boy, don't you understand what I'm saying? Lord Ross asked you to..."
Chu Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and an invisible aura emanated from him.
Pan Yue also stood in front of Chu Feng with a firm look in his eyes.
"If you want to touch him, you have to get past me first!"
Ross watched the scene with interest, a sneer on his face.
"It seems you're not planning on cooperating?" He slowly raised the weapon in his hand, emitting an icy light. "Then don't blame me for being rude."
Chu Feng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination, "Pan Yue, protect the doctor!"
Ross sneered, and the weapon in his hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and a sharp energy wave rushed straight towards Chu Feng.
Chu Feng dodged sideways, and the energy wave brushed past his arm, causing a burning pain instantly.
Ross's attack speed was extremely fast, and Chu Feng and Pan Yue could only barely resist it together.
Ross's men were no ordinary people either. They worked in perfect harmony and surrounded Dr. Ocean tightly. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Chu Feng's side.
"Chu Feng, left!" Pan Yue shouted, and at the same time threw out a talisman in his hand, hitting an inconspicuous mechanism on the wall of the ruins.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and several huge stone pillars rose from the ground, separating Ross and his men.
"Damn it!" Ross cursed, his rhythm disrupted by the sudden change.
Chu Feng seized this opportunity, gathered all his strength, and punched Ross.
Ross obviously didn't expect Chu Feng to fight back in this situation, and he could only take the punch head-on in a hurry.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, Ross was knocked back several steps, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although Chu Feng's strength was not as good as his, this attack with all his strength also made him feel threatened.
"Chu Feng, well done!" Pan Yue shouted excitedly, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.
Although Dr. Ocean had no fighting ability, he held the instrument tightly in his hand and cheered for Chu Feng.
This unconditional trust made Chu Feng feel a surge of warmth in his heart, as if he had infinite power.
The trapped Ross did not give up. He was trying his best to crack the mechanism, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
Deep in the ruins, a strange aura is spreading, as if something is about to wake up.
Chu Feng felt a little uneasy. He looked into the depths of the ruins and whispered, "Pan Yue, be careful..."
