Darkness, like thick ink spilled down, instantly engulfed the entire underground hall.
"Something's not right!" Lu Zhaoming's voice was low and alert, like a lone wolf that had smelled blood.
Time seemed to have been paused; in his perception, everything became slow and clear.
This is the time-delay ability granted to him by the "Doomsday Judgment System," a life-saving treasure in critical moments.
He quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to catch even the slightest clue in the boundless darkness.
"Qinglian, use your special ability!" Lu Zhaoming commanded in a low voice.
In this situation, Qinglian, who possesses auxiliary abilities, is undoubtedly the best radar.
Qinglian dared not delay and immediately closed her eyes, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
She was like a firefly in the dark, emitting a faint and soft blue light, trying her best to perceive everything around her.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, her face somewhat pale: "Ahead... there are faint energy fluctuations, like a hidden monitoring device."
Lu Zhaoming narrowed his eyes.
The White Robe Organization was indeed cunning, having planted spies even in such a place.
He turned to the blacksmith: "Old buddy, it's up to you. Don't leave any traces."
"Don't worry, I've got it covered!" The blacksmith patted his chest and pulled a special wrench from his tool bag.
He deftly groped around in the darkness and quickly located the surveillance device.
With a soft "click," the surveillance device was completely destroyed.
"Done!" the blacksmith said proudly, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"Be careful, there's definitely more to this than just surveillance equipment," Lu Zhaoming warned.
He always felt that a greater crisis was lurking in this deathly silence.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the notification sound of the "Doomsday Judgment System" rang in his mind: "Life energy fluctuations detected, target is approaching!"
Lu Zhaoming's expression changed, and he immediately signaled everyone to hide against the wall.
He could feel a powerful sense of oppression emanating from the depths of darkness, making it hard to breathe.
"What is that?" Afu's voice trembled slightly as he gripped Professor Lin's clothes tightly, clearly frightened.
"Shh..." Lu Zhaoming gestured for him to be quiet.
The footsteps grew closer, heavy and powerful, accompanied by the clanging of metal, as if death were approaching.
"Is it the person in the white robe?" Afu asked nervously in a low voice.
Lu Zhaoming narrowed his eyes and activated "Eye of Judgment".
With the system's enhancement, his vision was greatly improved in the dark, and he could vaguely see several dark figures approaching.
“It’s Shi Hu!” Lu Zhaoming said in a low voice, his tone tinged with seriousness.
Shi Hu, the ace henchman of the White Robe Organization, is powerful and ruthless.
What's this guy doing here?
"How did they find this place?" Professor Lin's face turned pale; he clearly had a deep fear of the White Robe Organization.
“It seems we’ve been exposed,” Lu Zhaoming said coldly.
He had known all along that the White Robe Organization wouldn't let them off easily, but he hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.
"What should we do? Should we fight them?" The blacksmith gripped the wrench tightly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
“A head-on confrontation is unwise.” Lu Zhaoming shook his head.
Shi Hu's strength should not be underestimated, and he also has an elite squad under his command. A direct confrontation would only result in mutual destruction.
"Use the terrain to our advantage and set a trap!" Lu Zhaoming made a quick decision.
He was quite familiar with the terrain and could use the mechanisms within the ruins to give Shi Hu and his men a "surprise".
"Qinglian, blacksmith, come with me!" Lu Zhaoming said in a low voice, leading the two of them to the sides of the passage.
He quickly instructed Qinglian to use her special abilities to set up some temporary traps on both sides of the passage.
Although these traps were rudimentary, they were enough to cause some trouble for the enemy in this dark environment.
The blacksmith used his tools to pry off some loose stones and pile them above the passageway.
As soon as Shi Hu and his men get close, these stones will rain down, giving them a "head-on blow".
Lu Zhaoming himself hid at the corner of the passage, quietly waiting for his prey to arrive.
He was like a lurking cheetah, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment.
Time ticked by, and the oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger.
Finally, Shi Hu's figure appeared at the end of the passage.
He held a huge battle axe in his hand, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings.
Behind him followed several team members in black uniforms, armed with guns, standing guard vigilantly.
"Be careful, there might be an ambush here!" Shi Hu said in a low voice, his tone tinged with caution.
"Don't worry, Tiger, they're just a bunch of chickens and dogs, nothing to fear!" one of the team members said dismissively.
Shi Hu ignored his words and remained highly vigilant.
His years of combat experience told him that the calmer the place, the greater the danger often lurks within.
When Shi Hu's team entered the ambush range, Lu Zhaoming made a decisive move!
"Now!" he thought to himself, instantly activating the newly unlocked ability amplification range expansion function.
"Trial Storm II!"
With a low roar, a powerful energy surge erupted instantly, sweeping through the entire passage like a whirlwind.
"ah……"
"What is that?"
"Enemy attack!"
The Stone Tiger Squad was thrown into chaos, with screams and cries of alarm filling the air.
