The Gu worm moved cautiously through the mist, the surrounding fog seemingly possessed, constantly entwining the insect. Suddenly, a massive bear-like monster burst forth from the mist like a bolt of black lightning, its speed catching them off guard. Its body was covered in sharp thorns, which gleamed coldly in the dim light, like razor-sharp daggers. Its eyes gleamed blood-red, like two balls of burning flame, emitting an endlessly murderous aura. It opened its bloody maw, revealing sharp fangs, and roared at Lin Yu and Suna with a roar that shook the air around them, as if threatening to rupture their eardrums.
Lin Yu reacted very quickly, instantly protecting Su Na tightly behind him, and at the same time swung his sword to meet the monster. The sword flashed a cold light in the dim light, as if it was the light of hope for them in the darkness. The monster was extremely fast. It swung its huge bear paw, bringing up a gust of wind. The gust of wind was like a sharp blade, hitting Lin Yu fiercely. Lin Yu dodged nimbly to the side. The bear paw brushed past his body, bringing up a strong airflow, making his clothes rustle. At the same time, he slashed the monster's arm with force. The sword slashed on the monster's hard skin, leaving only a shallow mark, making a crisp "clang" sound, as if it had slashed on a piece of hard steel.
"This monster's defenses are incredibly strong! It's even tougher than any enemy we've encountered before." Lin Yu was secretly shocked, his brows furrowed tightly into the shape of a "川" character. He knew this would be an extremely difficult battle. The monster, in pain, grew even more furious. Its eyes seemed to blaze with fire, and it roared even louder. Then it attacked Lin Yu frantically, its paws raining down on him, each strike packing a powerful force. Lin Yu dodged left and right, his figure like a ghost, nimbly weaving between the bear's attacks while searching for the monster's weaknesses.
Suna was completely focused on directing the Gu worms to attack the monster's eyes. Her gaze was firm and focused, her hands dancing rapidly in the air, and she was muttering something to herself. Under her command, the Gu worms quickly flew towards the monster, like a swarm of sharp black arrows, stinging its eyes. The monster's eyes were attacked, and it let out a painful roar that echoed throughout the room. Its body trembled violently, and it used its bear paws to swat the Gu worms, temporarily unable to attack Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took the opportunity to carefully examine the monster's body and discovered that its abdomen had relatively few spines, suggesting a potential weakness. Delighted, he found the perfect moment, took a deep breath, and charged towards the monster's belly, swift as an arrow from a bow. The monster sensed the danger and tried to evade, but Lin Yu was faster, and his sword successfully pierced the monster's abdomen. As the sword penetrated, a stream of black blood gushed out of the monster's abdomen, emitting a pungent stench.
The monster let out an earth-shattering scream, its body trembling violently, as if the entire space were shaking with it. Then, its body began to dissipate, vanishing without a trace in a puff of black smoke, leaving only a faint stench of decay lingering in the air. Lin Yu and Suna breathed a sigh of relief, their foreheads covered with fine beads of sweat, and their backs were soaked with sweat. But they knew that this was only the beginning of the dangers deep in the valley; more unknown challenges awaited them ahead.
As they continued forward, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing a narrow stone bridge spanning a bottomless ravine. There were no railings on either side of the bridge, and from below, eerie roars could be heard, as if countless demons were howling in the depths of the canyon, waiting to devour them. An eerie aura permeated the canyon, leaving one shuddering.
"It looks like we have to cross the bridge. This bridge looks very dangerous. You don't know what's underneath. You must be careful not to fall." Lin Yu said. Although his voice was calm, his eyes revealed a hint of worry. He held Suna's hand tightly, as if this would give her a greater sense of security. Then, he stepped onto the stone bridge carefully, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing that he would fall into the canyon if he was not careful. Suna followed closely behind Lin Yu, her palms covered with sweat, her heart beating rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Just as they reached the center of the stone bridge, it suddenly shook violently, as if struck by a powerful earthquake. Black tentacles stretched out from the canyon. They were thick and powerful, covered in slime, and shimmered with an eerie luster in the dim light. They swung and clawed at Lin Yu and Suna, moving so fast that they had no time to react.
Can Lin Yu and Suna successfully break free from the tentacles and continue on their journey to find the Heart of the Valley? What else will they encounter in this dangerous depth of the valley? Everything is unknown, waiting for them to uncover. Lin Yu thought to himself: "I must protect Suna. No matter what, I must successfully find the Heart of the Valley and never let the evil forces succeed. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will open a safe path for Suna." Suna also prayed silently in her heart: "I hope we can get through this safely and complete our mission. Together with Lin Yu, we will definitely overcome all difficulties." They faced new challenges with firm belief, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown, but more of it was trust in each other and a desire for success.
