Mainland Martial Arts

Chapter 501 Nothing

The scene before them surprised them somewhat. There were many tables and chairs in the room, and teacups on the tables. The tea in the cups had long since dried up, leaving only circles of faint tea stains. Chen Xiner's eyes widened, full of confusion. She bit her lower lip and said, "Why is there nothing here?" Her voice echoed in the empty room, carrying a hint of loss.

Chen Yu frowned, his face full of disbelief, and muttered to himself: "Is this really the residence of God? Why does it look so ordinary?" He reached out and touched a table, and a thin layer of dust stained his fingertips, and the doubts in his heart became stronger.

Lin Feng's eyes swept around the room, not missing any corner. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go up one level and take a look." His eyes revealed determination, as if he firmly believed that there would be the answers they wanted up there.

So, the four of them continued to climb the stairs. With each floor they climbed, their hearts were filled with anticipation, but the sights on each floor disappointed their expectations. In this way, they climbed floor by floor, their steps becoming increasingly heavy, until they finally reached the fifth floor.

The fifth floor, like the first, was completely empty. Lin Feng paced slowly around the room, his brow furrowed as he whispered, "A god's mansion shouldn't be empty. There must be some secret here that we haven't discovered yet." His voice tinged with anxiety. In this mysterious environment, time seemed to be running out.

Chen Xiner walked to the window and peered out. The monsters outside were still furiously attacking each other, their roars and growls mingling in a chilling cacophony. Chen Xiner's face paled, her body trembling slightly as she spoke, "Perhaps this is a trap, meant to bury us all here." There was a hint of fear in her voice, a surge of despair at the thought of not being able to leave alive.

"No way?" Chen Yu's eyes widened, his face full of fear, "Then aren't we in danger now?" His voice unconsciously rose, with a slight tremor, as if the danger was just around the corner.

Xu Tian's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character. He paced back and forth and said anxiously, "Are we just going to wait here to die? Absolutely not!" His eyes revealed unwillingness, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was accumulating strength.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "There should be a way out. Let's go find it." There was a determined light in his eyes, which brought a glimmer of hope to everyone.

"We can go back the same way." Xu Tian suggested with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Chen Xiner shook her head and said helplessly: "After we passed through the barrier, we couldn't touch the barrier anymore. The original road is not feasible." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice. Thinking of the scene when she tried to return before, she felt a little depressed.

At this moment, Ding Junhao and Li Zhe were hiding in the corner of the fifth-floor staircase, not daring to make a sound, quietly listening to the conversation between Lin Feng and the others. Hearing that this might be a trap and that everyone would die here, Ding Junhao's face turned pale, his body trembling slightly, his heart filled with fear and despair. Li Zhe slumped to the ground, his eyes empty, his wound still aching. At this moment, he felt as if his life was about to end.

Lin Feng and the other three searched the room for clues to the exit, turning over every floor tile and examining every wall, leaving no trace of a possible mechanism. Chen Xin'er carefully observed the window, hoping to find a way out. Chen Yu searched in the corners, muttering to himself, "There must be a clue, there must be..." Xu Tian and Lin Feng examined the floor together, their eyes filled with concentration, not missing a single trace.

Suddenly, their eyes were attracted by an astonishing sight - half-human, half-beast monsters appeared in all the cave entrances. These monsters ran from the city into the barrier with agile and strange movements.

"Look, those monsters!" Chen Xiner exclaimed, pointing her trembling fingers in the direction of the cave entrance. Her face turned pale with fear, and her hair fluttered in the breeze.

Lin Feng's eyes instantly sharpened, his gaze fixed on the monsters, his mind racing. A moment later, he slammed the windowsill and excitedly declared, "I've got a solution! If these monsters can get in and out through these holes, we can too!" His voice tinged with surprise, as if he had found a ray of hope in the darkness.

"Really?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Chen Yu's eyes. His face still showed fatigue from the previous battle. Sweat and dust mixed together, making him look a little embarrassed.

"That's right, let's act quickly!" Lin Feng said without hesitation, his eyes firm and full of determination.

The four of them sprang into action, rushing towards the window, trying with all their might to break it open. Lin Feng gripped the Star Blade tightly in both hands, a cold light flashing on the blade. He shouted loudly and slashed at the window with all his might. With a loud bang, a large hole was split open in the window, sending wood chips flying.

"Let's go!" Lin Feng shouted, leaping out first. Chen Xin'er, Chen Yu, and Xu Tian followed closely behind. As soon as they landed, a group of monsters quickly surrounded them, their fangs bared and claws snarling, filling the air with a strong, fishy stench.

Lin Feng and his three companions dashed around the monsters, searching for a hole to escape. Finally, they found a hole that wasn't too big, just big enough for two or three people to walk side by side. "This is it!" Lin Feng shouted, pointing at the hole.

The four of them quickly ran towards the cave entrance. Some half-human, half-beast monsters drove the larger monsters in pursuit. Xu Tian led Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu in front, his eyes determined, his weapons tightly gripped, ready to respond to any attack. Lin Feng led the rear, brandishing the Star Blade to fend off the pursuing monsters. Each swing of the blade carried immense force, the blade flashing, and the monster's blood splattered on the ground.

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the tower, Ding Junhao and Li Zhe hid in a corner, secretly observing Lin Feng and the others' movements. Seeing Lin Feng and the other three choose a cave entrance and attract a few monsters, Ding Junhao's eyes flashed with greed and cunning. "Let's find a cave entrance too. Maybe we can find a chance to kill Lin Feng," he whispered to Li Zhe.

Li Zhe hesitated for a moment, his face pale and the wounds on his body still aching, but he finally nodded. The two of them carefully left the fifth floor of the tower and secretly chose a hole to go in.
