"You think you can trap me like this?" the mysterious man roared, his voice filled with anger and disdain. He swung his staff vigorously, trying to break free from the vines. Black light burst out from the staff, trying to cut through the vines.
As the mysterious man struggled, Lin Yu manipulated the poisonous insects to attack his staff. Like hungry beasts, the insects bit frantically at the staff. The mysterious man felt a powerful force eroding his staff, and he panicked, realizing the two men before him were far more formidable than he had imagined. For the first time, a flicker of fear flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness.
As the mysterious man struggled to shake off the insects and vines, Suna concentrated all her energy and unleashed a powerful mental attack. Her eyes fixed on the mysterious man, a strange light flashing in them, and an invisible mental wave shot towards him like a sharp arrow.
The mysterious man, caught off guard by the mental wave while battling the poisonous insects and vines, shook as if struck by an electric current, nearly dropping his staff. A pained expression crossed his face, his spirit profoundly impacted.
Lin Yu seized this opportunity and drove the insect to attack the mysterious man's chest with all its might. Like a sharp blade, the insect pierced through the mysterious man's defenses and bit him hard in the chest. The mysterious man let out a painful scream that echoed throughout the forest, like the wail of a demon. His body swayed several times before finally collapsing to the ground.

"Who is he? Why did he attack Miaojiang?" Lin Yu asked doubtfully, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement. The identity and purpose of this mysterious man were like a huge mystery, hanging over his heart.
Suna shook her head. "I don't know, but I think this matter is not over yet. We must go back and tell the witch as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures." Her eyes revealed worry. She knew that this was just the beginning and the crisis hidden behind it might have just surfaced.
The two knew that, despite temporarily repelling the mysterious figure, the danger wasn't truly over. Filled with doubt and worry, they supported each other and headed towards the Miao village. The sunlight cast long shadows on them, revealing that even more unknown challenges awaited them...
