Lu Zhaoming and his group ran for their lives, the roaring sound was like the Grim Reaper breathing in their ears, carrying a heat wave that seemed to want to roast them into jerky.
Su Li was dragged along by him, running so fast that she was terribly pale, and she still couldn't help but complain: "I say, Judge Lu, if you knew this place was going to explode, why did you still rush in! Are you crazy?!"
Lu Zhaoming didn't have time to banter with her. As he ran, he kept his eyes and ears open, and didn't forget to complain about the system: "System, your warning is way too late! It's too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost! Next time, can you mend the fence in advance so I can be mentally prepared?"
System: "...The energy fluctuations are unusually complex, and analysis will take time. In addition, the host's blood is rushing upward, heart rate is accelerating, and adrenaline is surging. It is recommended to control emotions to avoid affecting judgment."
"Control your sister!" Lu Zhaoming roared inwardly. "I'm about to be blown to smithereens, and you're talking about controlling my emotions?!"
Halfway through the run, Lu Zhaoming suddenly stopped, pulled Su Li behind him, and squinted at the corner ahead.
"What's wrong?" Su Li asked breathlessly.
"Something's up." Lu Zhaoming lowered his voice. "A familiar stench...it's that mother snake."
Sure enough, before the words were even finished, Green Snake appeared like a ghost at the corner with several of his men, blocking their way.
A strange smile appeared on her face; she was nowhere near the disheveled state she had just been forced to flee by the Blade of Judgment.
"Hey, Lu Zhaoming, you're pretty fast." Green Snake slowly walked out, playing with a strangely shaped dagger in her hand. "I thought you would have already tucked your tail between your legs and run for your life."
"You didn't run away?" Lu Zhaoming was somewhat surprised. "Aren't you afraid of being fried into roast suckling pig?"
The green snake chuckled, as if it had heard a funny joke: "Roast suckling pig? You have to be alive to eat that! Let me tell you the truth, the most important thing in this ruin isn't some damn energy well, but... core data!"
She paused, her eyes turning frantic and burning: "As long as we get the core information, we'll sacrifice everyone here without hesitation!"
Lu Zhaoming felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that this woman had completely gone mad.
He originally thought that the Scorpions only wanted to use the technology in the ruins, but he never expected their ambition to be so great!
"You want core information?" Lu Zhaoming sneered. "Too bad, you've come to the wrong person. Even if you get the information, it will only bring greater disaster to the world."
"Disaster? I like it!" The green snake licked its lips, its eyes flashing with a mad light. "As long as I can make the world run according to my will, what does destruction matter?"
Just as tensions were running high and a fierce battle seemed inevitable, Professor Lin's voice suddenly came through the communicator, trembling with a hint of despair: "Lu Zhaoming, hurry! The valve on the energy well is too tight, we can't handle it! If we don't shut it off soon, the entire ruins will be destroyed!"
Lu Zhaoming frowned; the situation was critical.
On one side is an energy well that could explode at any moment, and on the other side is the mad Green Serpent and her elite troops... He must make a choice!
"Su Li, protect them!" Lu Zhaoming whispered, then charged forward, the Blade of Judgment bursting with dazzling light in his hand. "I'll deal with this mad dog!"
"Be careful!" Su Li shouted worriedly.
Lu Zhaoming did not turn around; his eyes were only on the twisted and crazed face of the Green Snake.
He knew that to stop this disaster, he had to get rid of this crazy woman first!
Professor Lin and Afu were at a loss as to what to do about the huge energy well valve.
The valve was rusty and motionless, while Green Snake's henchmen kept rushing up to interfere, making the situation extremely critical.
"Professor, this can't go on!" Afu was sweating profusely with anxiety. "If we don't shut it off soon, we'll all die here!"
Professor Lin was also extremely anxious. He gripped the valve tightly, using all his strength, but still couldn't budge it an inch.
Just then, a figure appeared beside them like a ghost, and the Blade of Judgment, with the force of thunder, instantly knocked away several enemies who rushed up.
It's Lu Zhaoming!
"Professor, leave it to me!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, activating his "Berserk" skill at the same time, instantly increasing his power.
He gripped the blade of judgment with both hands and slashed fiercely at the men who were interfering with Professor Lin.
Amidst the flashing blades and flying blood, those elite warriors were as fragile as paper before Lu Zhaoming.
"Damn it! Stop him!" Green Snake cursed angrily when he saw this from a distance.
However, it was all too late.
Under Lu Zhaoming's cover, Professor Lin finally found the right angle, and with all his might, he turned sharply.
With a crisp "click," the valve was finally shut off!
The roar of the energy well gradually weakened and eventually disappeared, and the entire ruins stopped trembling.
"Huff...huff..." Professor Lin slumped to the ground, panting heavily, a smile of relief on his face.
However, Lu Zhaoming did not let his guard down. He knew that things were not over yet.
Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the phase task and are about to unlock the Ultimate Judgment skill. Please stay focused."
Lu Zhaoming was slightly taken aback. Before he could think about it, a powerful energy surged into his body, as if it would tear him apart.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and tried his best to stay conscious.
Finally, the energy subsided, and a completely new feeling welled up inside me.
He felt as if he possessed some kind of powerful force, capable of seeing and judging everything!
