The monster opened its bloody maw and let out a deafening roar. The roar was like rolling spring thunder, jarring their eardrums. A surge of black energy erupted from its mouth like a surging tide, madly attacking Lin Yu and the others. Wherever the black energy passed, the air seemed to ignite, emitting a sizzling sound. The temperature in the passage dropped instantly, leaving people feeling a biting chill.
Lin Yu quickly raised his sword, attempting to block it with his light. However, the black energy was too powerful, and the light began to flicker under its impact, as if it would go out at any moment. "Everyone, be careful! This monster is not simple!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice tinged with nervousness and vigilance.
Suna and the old man resisted with all their might. Suna directed the poisonous insects toward the black energy, attempting to weaken it. The old man concentrated all his energy, unleashing an ancient spell. Rays of light shot from his hands, colliding with the black energy in a dazzling display of light and a piercing sound. However, the black energy continued to surge in like a tide, and they gradually gave way, their bodies beginning to tremble slightly.
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly discovered that the monster's eyes would be temporarily blinded under strong light. "Attack its eyes!" Lin Yu shouted loudly, with a hint of surprise and hope in his voice.
Suna immediately understood and directed the insects to fly towards the monster's eyes. Like a stream of multicolored arrows, the insects flew straight towards the monster's eyes. The old man also concentrated his strength and emitted a beam of light, like a sharp sword, shooting towards the monster's eyes.
Lin Yu seized the opportunity and channeled all his strength into his sword. Swinging it, a blast of even more intense light shot towards the monster like a comet. The monster, struck in the eye by the intense light, let out a painful howl that threatened to collapse the entire passage. The black energy instantly dissipated, transforming into a puff of black smoke.
Taking advantage of the monster's blindness, Lin Yu rushed forward like a flash of black lightning, piercing the monster's body with his sword. The moment the sword sank into the monster's body, a powerful force emanated from it, and Lin Yu could feel the monster's life force gradually fading. The monster struggled a few times, uttered a few weak roars, and fell to the ground with a thud, splashing a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, the other monsters seemed to have lost their backbone and fled. The passage finally returned to peace, with only the heavy breathing of the three of them remaining.
Lin Yu, Suna, and the old man sat exhausted on the ground, the joy of surviving the disaster surging in their hearts like a tide. Their faces were covered in sweat and dust, and their bodies were also covered in multiple injuries, but at this moment, these seemed insignificant.
"We succeeded..." Suna said, with a hint of fatigue and relief in her voice, and a long-lost smile on her face.
Lin Yu looked at the sword in his hand, his eyes revealing determination. "Thanks to this artifact. But we can't relax yet. We must find a way to completely seal the ruins and prevent evil forces from coveting them again."
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, let's start now."
The three men stood up, their bodies weary but their eyes brimming with a sense of mission. They began preparing to seal the ruins... Could they succeed? What challenges awaited them in the future? But at this moment, they knew their responsibility to protect the ruins continued, and they would shoulder it without hesitation, facing the unknown... A solemn and resolute atmosphere permeated the passage, as if speaking of their determination and courage.
