Lin Yu and Suna took the opportunity to intensify their attack. They focused their attention on driving the insects to bite the beast's abdomen more fiercely. The beast's movements gradually became slower, and its once deafening roar gradually became weaker, as if its life force was slipping away bit by bit.
However, just as the Gu beast seemed about to collapse, it suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, as if a last gasp of energy. A despairingly powerful dark force erupted from its body. This force, like a black storm, centered around the Gu beast, madly swept out in all directions, engulfing everything in its path. Deep scars were scratched into the walls of the passageway by this force. Lin Yu and Suna's Gu insects fell under the impact of this powerful dark force, their light instantly extinguished, like stars blown out in the night sky.
"Oh no! It's making its final struggle!" Lin Yu's face changed drastically as he shouted. He and Suna quickly concentrated all their strength to strengthen the shield's defense. Their foreheads were covered with sweat, and their hands were trembling slightly, but their eyes were extremely firm, as if declaring to the Gu beast that they would never surrender.
The dark force surged against the shield like a surging tide, emitting a sizzling sound, like the whisper of a demon in one's ear. Under this powerful onslaught, the shield's light grew fainter and fainter, like a candle in the wind, threatening to shatter at any moment. Lin Yu and Suna gritted their teeth, exerting all their strength to maintain the shield. They knew that if the shield shattered, they would be defenseless against the Gu beast's attack, with disastrous consequences.
At this critical moment, Lin Yu's mind suddenly flashed back to the runes he had seen on the mysterious man's magic circle. He suspected that these runes might have some mysterious connection to the Gu Beast, and might be the key to turning the tide. So, he quickly began to carve the runes onto the shield. His fingers danced through the air like a nimble paintbrush, and the lines of the runes gradually emerged clearly.
As the runes appeared, the shield's glow miraculously intensified. The previously shaky shield seemed to regain strength, remarkably withstanding the Gu Beast's dark power. Seeing its attack ineffective, the Gu Beast roared again, its voice filled with resentment. Then, its massive body slowly turned and ran deeper into the passage, its heavy footsteps gradually fading into the darkness.
Lin Yu and Suna watched the Gu Beast leave, and the tension in their hearts finally eased. But they knew that this was just one of the challenges in the forbidden area, and there were more unknown dangers waiting for them ahead.
"Let's keep going. We must find that book." Lin Yu looked at Suna with a determined look in his eyes. He knew that the safety of Miaojiang depended on them. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they could not stop their progress.
Suna nodded vigorously in agreement. The two looked at each other, drawing strength from each other's gaze. They gathered themselves, took a deep breath, and continued walking deeper into the passage, resolutely facing the next unknown challenge...
