At the entrance to the manor's basement, Shen Qingchen, Jiang Zhi, and the others stopped in their tracks. A tense atmosphere permeated the air. Jiang Zhi gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes revealing a resolute and determined look. Despite some scratches, she remained upright, as if nothing could stop her from moving forward. Shen Qingchen stood beside her, gazing intently at the closed door ahead, secretly plotting his next move.
“There must be heavy defense behind this door, we can’t rush in rashly.” Shen Qingchen said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his voice.
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find any possible breakthrough points. "Let's observe the surroundings first to see if there are other entrances or mechanisms that can be used."
Everyone began to disperse cautiously and search around the basement. Suddenly, one team member discovered a secret compartment on the wall. It seemed to contain some mechanical control devices, but these devices looked extremely complicated, covered with all kinds of strange symbols and circuits.
Shen Qingchen immediately stepped forward, drawing on his keen business acumen and ability to analyze complex situations, and began to carefully study the mechanisms. His eyes were focused and sharp, and his fingers gently touched the circuits, trying to find the patterns within. Jiang Zhi, on the other hand, watched vigilantly, guarding against any sudden enemy attacks.
After some intense research, Shen Qingchen finally found a way to crack the mechanism. As he manipulated it, another wall in the basement slowly shifted, revealing a narrow passage. However, the passage was filled with a pungent odor, clearly filled with dangerous traps.
"I'll go explore the way first, you follow me and be careful." Jiang Zhi said without hesitation. She took a deep breath and then stepped into the passage carefully.
The passage was dimly lit, with eerie lights flickering on the walls. Jiang Zhi, relying on her agility and keen perception, groped her way forward. Suddenly, she felt the ground beneath her feet give slightly. She immediately realized it was a trap and quickly leaped back. Just as she was about to leave, a row of sharp spikes suddenly erupted from the ground. Had she reacted even a little slower, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Everyone, be careful with your steps, there are traps everywhere!" Jiang Zhi loudly reminded his companions behind him.
They carefully walked along the passage, avoiding various traps along the way. Finally, they reached the end of the passage, where a huge iron door appeared before them, and the leader of the mysterious organization was behind the door.
Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi looked at each other, they knew that the real challenge had just begun. At this time, the enemy had also noticed their arrival, and a noisy sound of footsteps and shouts came from behind the door.
"We can't wait any longer, we must act immediately." Shen Qingchen said, his eyes revealing firm determination.
Jiang Zhi nodded, and she turned to the crowd and said, "Some people will be responsible for diverting the enemy's main force and attracting their attention. Shen Qingchen and I will take the opportunity to raid the leader. Everyone must be careful."
The team members nodded in understanding. Then, according to the plan, some rushed to the other side of the iron gate, deliberately making noise to attract the enemy's main force. Meanwhile, Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi quietly circled around the iron gate, looking for an opportunity to enter.
The enemy was indeed distracted, and most of them chased in the direction of the team members. Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi took the opportunity to open the iron door and quietly sneaked into the room. The room was filled with a thick smoke, which greatly restricted their vision. They groped forward cautiously. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by. Jiang Zhi immediately raised his weapon alertly, ready to deal with the enemy's attack.
A tall man appeared before them. He was the leader of the mysterious organization. He had a sneer on his face, and his eyes revealed cruelty and ferocity.
"Do you think you can find me easily? Today is the day you die!" said the leader viciously.
Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi remained silent. They stared intently at the leader, their muscles tensed, ready for the coming battle. The leader launched the first attack, his moves fierce and powerful. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen coordinated with each other, skillfully dodging the leader's attacks and looking for opportunities to counterattack.
However, the enemy's strength was beyond their imagination. As the battle progressed, Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi gradually felt their strength was exhausted. The enemy's attacks became increasingly fierce, and they suffered varying degrees of injuries. Jiang Zhi's arm was scratched by the enemy, and blood stained her sleeves red, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. Shen Qingchen was also hit in the back by the enemy. The pain slowed his movements slightly, but his eyes were still full of fighting spirit.
Just as the enemy was about to deliver a fatal blow, Jiang Zhi suddenly spotted a flaw in the leader's attack. Without a second thought, she used all her strength to attack the vulnerable spot. This strike condensed all her strength and determination, and her eyes revealed an unparalleled determination.
The leader obviously did not expect Jiang Zhi to launch such a fierce attack at this time. He hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late. Jiang Zhi's attack hit his body hard. The leader let out a painful roar and took a few steps back.
Shen Qingchen seized this opportunity, rushed forward immediately, and dealt a fatal blow to the leader. The leader's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that he would be defeated by them, and then slowly fell down.
However, before they could even catch their breath, they found themselves surrounded by the enemy. The enemy's main force, upon noticing their leader was under attack, quickly turned back and surrounded them. Shen Qingchen, Jiang Zhi, and the others were exhausted, their wounds bleeding profusely. The situation had become extremely critical.
