On the wall in the corner, they found a bump that matched the pattern they had seen before. The director took a deep breath and slowly extended his hand, his hand trembling slightly in the air. He knew that this touch might bring unknown dangers, but they had no way out. He gently touched the bump.
Instantly, the ground began to shake violently, as if the entire castle were caught in an earthquake. Stones fell from the ceiling, hitting the ground with a dull thud. A secret door slowly opened, and a pungent, rancid odor emanated from within, accompanied by waves of eerie air, as if emanating from the depths of hell.
"It seems we found the right place, but the danger inside is also quite great." The director said, his voice seemed a little unclear due to the vibration.
Everyone looked at each other, eyes filled with determination, and nodded. They knew that no matter how great the danger ahead, they must move forward bravely, because this concerned the fate of the world... They gripped their weapons tightly and slowly walked into the secret door.
The passage behind the door was narrow and dark, with faint lights flickering on the walls, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering at them from the darkness. The passage was filled with a nauseating stench, like a mixture of rotting corpses and moldy soil, making people want to cover their mouths and noses.
"Everyone, proceed carefully and stay alert." The director whispered, his voice echoing in the corridor with a hint of tension.
Everyone walked cautiously along the passage, their footsteps echoing in the silent corridor, and every step seemed to be stepping on their own heartbeats. Suddenly, a low roar came from the front of the passage, and the sound kept echoing in the passage, like thunder, making people shudder.
"What is this?" Lin Yu asked nervously, gripping his weapon tightly. His palms were covered in sweat, and his heart was beating violently in his chest, as if it was about to burst through his chest.
The director's face was solemn. "No matter what it is, be prepared for battle." The director's eyes were full of vigilance. He stared at the darkness ahead, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
As the crowd approached, a massive figure gradually emerged from the darkness. It resembled a giant toad, its body covered in disgusting bumps, each one akin to a boil, poised to burst at any moment. Its eyes flashed an eerie red light, like two burning flames, emitting an evil aura. Green slime continuously flowed from its mouth, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound, as if corroding the ground and emitting puffs of white smoke.
"This...this is too disgusting!" Suna couldn't help but say, her eyes full of disgust and fear. Her body unconsciously took a step back and tightly grasped the corner of Lin Yu's clothes.
The mysterious woman frowned and said, "This might be a monster guarding the underground passage. Everyone, be careful of its attack." The mysterious woman's eyes were full of vigilance. She began to silently prepare spells to deal with the monster's attack at any time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant toad opened its bloody mouth and sprayed a stream of green venom towards everyone. The venom drew an arc in the air, like a green lightning bolt, carrying a pungent smell, and quickly attacked everyone...
Lin Yu yelled, "Scatter!" Everyone quickly dodged to the sides. The venom splashed onto the ground where they had just stood, instantly corroding a large pit and emitting acrid smoke. Suna accidentally fell to the ground while dodging. Seeing this, Lin Yu hurriedly turned around and pulled her up. "Are you okay?" Lin Yu asked anxiously. Suna's face was pale, and she managed to squeeze out a few words: "I... I'm fine."
The director quickly formed hand seals and muttered something, and a golden shield instantly appeared before everyone. However, the toad's venom was extremely powerful, and the shield trembled violently under the impact of the venom, and the light flickered. The director's forehead veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This thing's venom is quite powerful. Everyone, find a way to fight back!"
The mysterious woman waved her hands, uttering a series of ancient witch incantations. Runes flew from her hands, swirling and converging in the air, forming a massive rune array that flew towards the toad. The rune array radiated a dazzling light, illuminating the entire passage. The toad, seemingly sensing a threat, roared even louder and spewed venom again, attempting to break the rune array.
The venom collided with the rune array, creating a violent explosion. Light and venom splattered everywhere. The old man swung his staff, and a blue light shot out from the tip, piercing the toad like an arrow. The toad dodged most of the attack, but was still grazed by the light. The bumps on its body were struck by the light, and black smoke billowed out. It twisted in pain.
Lin Yu took advantage of the toad's distraction and, weapon in hand, charged at it like a tiger. Leaping high, his sword flashing with a cold light, he slashed fiercely at the toad's head. The toad, sensing danger, quickly extended its tongue, lashing at Lin Yu like a thick whip. Unable to dodge mid-air, Lin Yu was struck by the tongue, his body flying backward like a kite with its string cut, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Lin Yu!" Suna exclaimed, her heart pounding. Ignoring the danger, she quickly cast a spell. A soft light enveloped Lin Yu, easing his pain. Lin Yu struggled to his feet. "I'm fine, keep attacking!" His eyes were filled with unyielding anger.
The director seized the opportunity and unleashed another powerful spell. He raised his hands, and a massive beam of light descended from the sky, striking the toad. The toad let out a shrill cry as it was struck. Its body trembled violently under the beam, and the air around it seemed to be warped by its power.
The mysterious woman and the old man seized the opportunity to intensify their attacks. The rune array's light grew increasingly intense, and the old man's staff continuously emitted various beams of light, echoing with the director's beam. Under the combined attack of everyone, the toad gradually began to collapse, its body beginning to falter.
However, just as everyone thought victory was imminent, the toad suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. Its body began to swell, and its bumps burst, spewing out a large amount of green slime. The slime surged towards everyone like a surging tide, instantly filling the passageway with slime...
