Just as he was deep in thought, Professor Lin's voice suddenly came from the communication system inside the ruins: "Lu Zhaoming, we have cracked the first set of codes! It's 'Hope'!"
"Hope?" Lu Zhaoming repeated the word, a strange feeling welling up inside him.
He knew that there must be a deeper meaning hidden behind this code.
"But..." Professor Lin's voice became somewhat urgent, "The Green Snake's men have discovered our movements and are on their way! We need backup!"
"Received!" Lu Zhaoming replied immediately. "I'm on my way!"
He turned off the time delay function and ran towards the control room as fast as he could.
However, before he could arrive, he saw Green Snake leading a group of people in front of him.
"Lu Zhaoming, you can't escape!" Green Snake sneered, raising the weapon in her hand.
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening: "Is that so? That's not necessarily true!"
The Green Snake sneered, "Every step you take is under my control." Her lips, painted a deathly Barbie pink, now stretched into a chilling arc: "Every step you take is under my control. Stop struggling, just lie down and enjoy your defeat!" With that, she swung her energy weapon, and a blinding green light shot straight towards Lu Zhaoming's face.
"That's all?" Lu Zhaoming sneered. With a thought, the Blade of Judgment instantly changed form, transforming into a flowing light shield that absorbed all the green light.
"Times have changed, sister! Your outdated weapon is obsolete!"
He lunged forward, frantically channeling the supernatural power accumulated within him into the Blade of Judgment.
The blade instantly burst forth with dazzling golden light, like a small sun, so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
The Judgment Blade, now incorporating system skills, has become significantly more powerful!
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the golden and green lights collided violently in the narrow passage, and the energy shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami.
The green snake groaned and staggered back several steps, its arm gripping the energy weapon trembling uncontrollably.
"Impossible... How could this be?!"
Lu Zhaoming gave her no chance to catch her breath, lunging forward and thrusting his blade of judgment, accompanied by a whistling sound, straight for the green snake's throat.
Just as he was about to succeed, the system suddenly issued a piercing warning: "Warning! Warning! Unknown energy fluctuations detected. Immediate evacuation recommended!"
Lu Zhaoming frowned, and without hesitation, sheathed his Judgment Blade and stepped back to create distance.
In the distance, a deep and terrifying rumble came, like a sleeping beast awakening.
The entire ruins began to tremble slightly, dust fell from the walls, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.
The green snake's expression changed drastically. Ignoring its injuries, it cried out in terror, "What...what is that sound?!"
Professor Lin's voice came through the communicator, trembling slightly: "Oh no! It's the energy well! It's going out of control!"
Lu Zhaoming squinted, staring at the darkness deep within the ruins. He felt something was amiss, a feeling that was like…
"Run!" He grabbed Su Li's hand and shouted, "This place is going to collapse!"
Although Xiao Dao and Xiao Cui didn't understand why, seeing how nervous Lu Zhaoming was, they didn't care about anything else and followed closely behind.
The group stumbled and ran outside, the terrifying roar growing ever closer behind them... ever closer...
