Lin Yu was extremely anxious, looking at the poisoned team member with a heart full of worry. But at this moment, he knew that he had to deal with the monster in front of him first before he could save his teammates. He saw the gap when the monster was taking a breath, kicked the ground with his feet, and rushed forward like a black lightning, holding the sword high in his hand, and stabbed the monster's chest with all his strength. The monster felt threatened and flapped its wings. A powerful airflow hit Lin Yu with overwhelming force. Lin Yu felt a huge force knock him away. The whole person fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, raising a cloud of dust. But relying on his tenacious will, he quickly stood up and rushed towards the monster again without hesitation, his eyes revealing a firm determination, as if he was determined to fight the monster to the death.
The other team members also launched their attacks. Some brandished their swords, slashing at the monster's legs; others drew their bows and shot arrows at the monster. However, the monster's scales were incredibly hard, as if made of steel. The swords only left shallow marks, like a tickle; the arrows that hit the scales also fell away, unable to cause any substantial damage to the monster. The monster seemed enraged by the attacks. Its eyes turned even blood red, like two burning flames. It opened its mouth again and spewed out a blazing flame. The flames were like a wall of fire, carrying a scorching heat, rushing towards the team members with the force of thunder. Wherever the flames touched, the air seemed to ignite, making a sizzling sound.
The team members quickly dodged as the flames brushed past their bodies, their skin stinging with the scorching heat, as if burned by a branding iron. In this critical moment, Lin Yu endured the pain and focused on observing the monster's movements. He keenly noticed that each time the monster breathed fire, its wings would tremble slightly, which seemed to be a precursor to its attack. He shouted, "Pay attention to the monster's wings and get out of the way before it breathes fire!" Hearing this, the team members focused their attention on observing the monster's wings. When the monster's wings trembled slightly again, they quickly scattered, successfully dodging the flames with their agility. The flames fell to the ground, burning it black.
Lin Yu seized this opportunity and shouted to the team members, "Everyone, attack its wings! This might be its weak point!" Upon hearing this, the team members responded one after another. They mustered their courage and charged at the monster's wings. Various weapons were used against the monster's wings: swords, axes, and arrows. For a moment, the monster's wings echoed with a sound of metal clashing. The monster roared in pain, flapping its wings desperately, trying to repel the group. Each flap brought a strong gust of air, making the team members unstable. But the team members did not retreat. They gritted their teeth and continued their attack.
After a fierce battle, the monster's wings were finally torn open, and bright red blood gushed out from the wound, splashing on the ground with a "tick-tick" sound. The monster let out a shrill scream, the sound seemed to penetrate everyone's eardrums, making people shudder. Its body began to tremble violently, as if it was enduring great pain. Lin Yu saw the right moment and shouted: "Now, give it the final blow!" The team members worked together and stabbed the weapons in their hands into the monster's body. Some team members stabbed the monster's abdomen with swords, and some team members pierced the monster's throat with spears. The monster struggled for a few times, and finally fell to the ground, turning into a cloud of black smoke and disappearing, leaving only a faint fishy smell in the air.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, gasping for air. Their faces and bodies were coated in sweat and dust, and exhaustion washed over them like a tide. But they knew this was only a minor crisis within the castle, and who knew how many more dangers awaited them ahead. The castle seemed like an endless abyss, filled with unknown fears and challenges.
After a short rest, Lin Yu slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at a door at the end of the hall. It was tightly closed, its intricate carvings amplifying the eerie atmosphere. He said, "Let's keep going. The secret of the key may lie behind that door." The team members rose, their bodies still exhausted, but their eyes gleaming with determination. They followed Lin Yu toward the door, each step heavy and resolute, as if they were marching towards an unknown destiny.
When they opened the door, they discovered a vast circular chamber. The walls were inlaid with countless shimmering gems, emitting a dazzling array of light, illuminating the entire room like a dream. However, beneath this beautiful exterior, an indescribable eeriness lingered. The floor was covered in intricate patterns, composed of lines and symbols, resembling ancient script or some mysterious formation. In the center of the room, a massive stone platform rested upon a glowing book. The light was soft and bright, jarringly incongruous with the surroundings.
Lin Yu and his team entered the room cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, their eyes warily observing their surroundings. They had no idea what secrets the book held, nor did they know if there were other dangers lurking nearby. How did the book connect to the key they sought? What would they encounter in this mysterious room? Everything was unknown, waiting to be uncovered. At this moment, they felt as if they were caught in a vast mystery, where every discovery could bring new dangers, and every choice could determine their survival.
