Lin Yun and the others cautiously advanced, following the direction of the low roar and powerful spiritual pressure. The further they advanced, the denser the forest became, and the surrounding fog thickened, reducing their visibility to a minimum. They could only rely on their spiritual perception to navigate the area.

Suddenly, a massive figure emerged from the mist ahead. As it slowly approached, everyone finally got a clear look at its form—a behemoth resembling a unicorn, yet possessing many distinct characteristics. Its body was covered in bluish-gray scales, each one like a hard shield, radiating a pristine spiritual sheen. A pair of curved, pointed horns clung to its head, wielding strands of lightning power, occasionally flashing dazzling flashes that frightened anyone who looked directly at it. Its large, copper-bell-like eyes, radiating majesty and fierceness, glared at the group. From its mouth, bursts of fishy spiritual mist emanated, dank the air around it.

"How can there be such a powerful creature on this spiritual island? Everyone, be careful!" Lin Yun warned in a low voice. Everyone clenched the magic weapons in their hands and were ready for battle. They knew very well that the giant beast in front of them was no pushover and a fierce battle was inevitable.

The mysterious giant beast seemed to regard Lin Yun and others as enemies invading its territory. It roared towards the sky, and the roar echoed over the Ling Island like thunder, making everyone's eardrums hurt. The surrounding trees were shaking and leaves were falling.

Then, the beast stomped its foot violently, and massive cracks instantly appeared on the ground. Black spiritual mud gushed out from the cracks, spreading towards the crowd. At the same time, the sharp horns on its head gathered powerful lightning power, and a thick lightning beam blasted towards the crowd at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it passed, the air was ionized and emitted a pungent odor.

Lin Yun and the others quickly unleashed their strongest defensive techniques, their spiritual shields lighting up in an attempt to ward off the beast's attacks. Lin Yun waved his staff with both hands, muttering something to himself. A light curtain of spiritual runes appeared before them, the runes gleaming and enhancing the shield's defensive power. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, the melodies transforming into ripples of spiritual power that merged into the shield, making it even more resilient against attacks. Chen Yu and Zhao Gang, one on each side, poured their own spiritual energy into the shield, stabilizing its overall structure.

However, the monster's attack was too powerful. Even though everyone worked together to resist it, the lightning beam hit the shield, causing a violent fluctuation of spiritual power. Dense cracks appeared on the shield. Everyone was shocked by the powerful impact and took several steps back. Their faces turned pale and the spiritual power in their bodies became quite disordered.

In this critical moment, everyone knew they couldn't just passively take the beating. They had to quickly identify the beast's weaknesses and proactively attack. Lin Yun steadied himself while carefully observing the beast's every move, trying to find an opportunity to exploit from its attack methods and physical characteristics.

After some observation, he found that after each attack of the giant beast, in the brief interval when it was mobilizing its spiritual power to prepare for the next round of attack, there would be a slight disorder in the spiritual power fluctuations around its body, and its scaly-covered abdomen seemed to have slightly weaker defense than other parts. Perhaps this was the key to a breakthrough.

"Everyone, pay attention. After its next attack, when the spiritual power fluctuations become disordered, we must concentrate our strength to attack its abdomen, which may be its vital point!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. When everyone heard it, they nodded, their spirits lifted, and they prepared for battle again. They stared at the giant beast intently, waiting for the right opportunity to come.

Finally, the giant beast finished another round of attack and began to mobilize its spiritual power to prepare for the next offensive. As Lin Yun observed, its spiritual power fluctuations became briefly disordered.

"Now, attack!" Lin Yun shouted, and everyone shouted in unison, directing their gathered spiritual energy towards the beast's belly. Suddenly, the various spiritual lights intertwined, transforming into a brilliant and powerful spiritual beam that, like a sharp blade, fiercely pierced the beast's abdomen.

The giant beast seemed to have not expected that everyone could seize this flaw. It was hit in the abdomen by the spiritual light beam and let out a painful roar. Its huge body retreated a few steps. Several scales on its abdomen were broken. Traces of blood seeped out from the gaps between the scales and dripped onto the ground, staining the surrounding grass crimson.

Everyone was delighted to see that the attack was effective and was preparing to pursue the victory, but the giant beast quickly stabilized its body, and the fierceness in its eyes became even more intense. It was completely enraged, and when it attacked again, its speed and power were even greater than before. Its huge claws swept towards everyone, bringing up a gust of wind, and the spiritual mud also rushed towards everyone like a surging wave. Everyone was immediately caught in a difficult resistance, and the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was suppressed by this fierce counterattack.

Just when everyone felt they were about to be defeated by the beast's frenzied counterattack, something unexpected happened. The surrounding rocks engraved with ancient runes suddenly shone brightly. The runes seemed to come alive, breaking free from the rocks, circling and dancing in the air before flying towards the beast.

These runes surrounded the giant beast, releasing strange spiritual power fluctuations. The giant beast seemed to be extremely afraid of these runes, and its attack movements became slow. It tried to break free from the constraints of the runes, but the runes gathered more and more, constantly interfering with the circulation of its spiritual power, making it unable to fully exert its strength.

"What's going on? How come these runes are suddenly helping us?" Chen Yu said in surprise. Everyone was also confused, but they didn't have time to think about it at the moment. They seized this rare opportunity and launched an attack on the giant beast again.

Lin Yun performed a more advanced spiritual spell, and spiritual rays shot out from the top of the staff, drilling towards the wound of the giant beast like a spirit snake; Su Yao changed the rhythm of the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the spiritual blade turned into a dense net, covering the giant beast; Chen Yu hid his body, went around to the side of the giant beast, and took the opportunity to cut several gashes on its legs with the spiritual dagger; Zhao Gang raised his shield and hit the giant beast hard, trying to make it lose balance again. Everyone worked together, wanting to take advantage of this turning point to defeat the giant beast in one fell swoop.

Under the combined attacks of the crowd and the interference of the mysterious runes, the behemoth gradually lost its strength, wounds mounting and blood dripping profusely. After several more unwilling roars, it finally realized it was losing ground and turned, sprinting furiously towards the depths of the Spirit Island. It quickly vanished from everyone's sight, and the powerful spiritual pressure gradually dissipated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the giant beast retreat into the distance. Although the battle was extremely difficult and everyone had consumed a large amount of spiritual energy and suffered some injuries, they were fortunate to have successfully repelled the giant beast and were temporarily out of danger.

"Everyone, take a break first and recover your spiritual power. This spiritual island is full of strange things. We don't know what dangers we will encounter later. We have to stay in the best condition." Lin Yun said. Everyone nodded, took out the pills and swallowed them, then meditated on the spot. After their spiritual power recovered a little, they continued to explore deeper into the spiritual island. They became more and more curious about the secrets of this spiritual island. They wanted to find out why those runes suddenly appeared to help, and what precious spiritual objects or amazing secrets were hidden in the spiritual island.

After walking along the path for a distance, everyone heard the sound of gurgling water. Walking in the direction of the sound, they saw an amazing sight before their eyes - in a quiet valley, there was a clear spring gurgling, and various rare spiritual plants grew around the spring. These spiritual plants grew extremely lush under the nourishment of the spiritual power of the spring, and crystal spiritual light sparkled on the branches and leaves, as if every leaf was condensed from pure spiritual power.

The water of the clear spring is of various colors, and each color of water emits unique spiritual fluctuations, which are intertwined but do not interfere with each other. The spiritual power around the entire spring is so rich that it almost becomes substantial. When everyone is in it, they feel that every pore on their body is greedily absorbing this abundant spiritual power, and the speed of cultivation is several times faster than usual.

"This is simply a perfect place for cultivation! If I can practice in seclusion here for a period of time, my cultivation will definitely improve a lot." Zhao Gang exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise and desire.

The others nodded in agreement, but they also knew that now was not the time to practice in seclusion. They came here to investigate the situation on Ling Island and see if there were any factors that were unfavorable to the world of immortal cultivation. So everyone just stopped by the spiritual spring for a while, felt the rich spiritual power, and then prepared to go deeper and explore the more mysterious areas of Ling Island.

After leaving the Spirit Spring, the group continued their journey for a long time, passing through a dense bamboo forest. Suddenly, they came into view, revealing an ancient ruin. Most of the buildings were dilapidated, and the broken walls exuded a timeworn and mysterious atmosphere. The walls were covered in intricate runes and patterns, seemingly telling a story of ancient history, but the group struggled to decipher their meaning.

At the entrance to the ruins stood two massive stone statues, depicting awe-inspiring cultivators. Holding magical weapons, they gazed into the distance, as if guarding the secrets within. However, a faint black mist permeated the ruins, emitting a faint, eerie aura that sent shivers down one's spine, as if something dangerous was lurking within.

"This relic looks very old. It might contain the core secret of the Spirit Island. However, the fog is weird, so be careful." Su Yao reminded them. Everyone became alert and walked cautiously towards the entrance of the relic, ready to step into this mysterious ancient relic and explore the secrets inside. However, they did not know that even more dangerous and difficult challenges were waiting for them.

As soon as they entered the ruins, the black mist surged towards them, instantly enveloping them. Everything before their eyes blurred, their visual range drastically reduced, and even their spiritual perception was greatly disturbed, as if they were trapped in a chaotic world.

Suddenly, countless black spiritual tentacles stretched out from the mist. These tentacles were as nimble as spirit snakes and coiled around everyone. Once touched by the tentacles, everyone felt as if their spiritual energy was frozen by an icy force, their movements becoming sluggish and their movements becoming slow.

"Everyone be careful, there's something strange about this fog. Quickly cast your spiritual shields to avoid being entangled by those tentacles!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. Everyone hurriedly cast their spiritual shields to try to resist the tentacles' attacks, but the tentacles became more and more numerous, constantly pouring in from all directions. Everyone had to resist the tentacles' entanglement while trying to find a way out in the fog. They were in an extremely difficult situation for a while, surrounded by dangers, and every step they took was filled with unknown dangers.

Amidst this perilous black fog, everyone could only rely on their memories and limited spiritual perception to grope their way towards what they believed to be the interior of the ruins. Lin Yun walked in front, his staff continuously emitting spiritual light in an attempt to dispel the surrounding fog, but the effect was minimal.

Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, the melody resonating through the mist. She attempted to use the fluctuations of her spiritual energy to probe her surroundings, searching for a possible way out or a flaw in the mist trap. Chen Yu, concealing himself, cautiously explored the surroundings, hoping to find the source of the mist and resolve the crisis. However, the mist seemed endless, and no matter how hard they tried, they remained trapped, unable to escape. As time went on, their spiritual energy depleted, and the situation became increasingly critical. They had to find a way to escape the black mist as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
