The male protagonist of the book is poisonous

After successfully subduing the black-robed man, we immediately began a meticulous search of Lingyuan Cave. The interior of Lingyuan Cave was incredibly complex, resembling a vast maze. Faint spiritual lights flickered on the cave walls, like a mysterious language, silently revealing the countless secrets hidden within.

In an unassuming corner, I stumbled upon a peculiar stone. It looked extraordinary, its surface densely engraved with ancient runes. Those runes seemed alive, emitting a faint glow that flickered in the dim cave, beckoning visitors to explore the secrets behind them.

I hurriedly called Senior Brother Chu Feng and Senior Sister Yun Yao, with a hint of excitement and curiosity in my voice: "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, look at this." As I spoke, I pointed at the mysterious stone.

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Chu Feng immediately approached, his eyes fixed on the runes on the stone, a gaze filled with concentration and inquiry. He frowned slightly, his expression as if he were trying to solve an extremely complex puzzle. After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "These runes appear to be an ancient form of record-keeping, but deciphering them is not easy. Their structure and meaning are very obscure."

Senior Sister Yunyao also came over. She first cautiously reached out her hand and gently touched the runes, as if having an intimate conversation with ancient history. Then, she closed her eyes and concentrated her mind, trying to use her spiritual power to deeply perceive the information contained in the runes. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The surroundings were silent, and only our gentle breathing could be heard. After a long time, Senior Sister Yunyao slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with a hint of solemnity and surprise. "I feel that these runes mention a place. This place seems to be a secret base of their evil organization. Moreover, it is involved in a powerful source of evil power. It feels very dangerous."

"Then we have to find this secret base as soon as possible and never let them have another chance to do evil." Senior Brother Chu Feng had a serious expression, his eyes showing firm determination. His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in this slightly gloomy cave, giving us some courage.

Just as we were about to leave Lingyuan Cave, the black-robed man, who had been subdued, suddenly spoke. His voice was particularly abrupt in the silence of the cave. "You think you can stop us just by finding that place? That's ridiculous. We've been planning this for a long time, and there's no way you can disrupt it." His words were filled with provocation and disdain, his expression mocking our presumption.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He strode over, his eyes burning with anger, and glared fiercely at the man in black robes and said, "You'd better tell me the truth. What are you plotting?"

The black-robed man looked at Senior Brother Chu Feng's fury without a trace of fear. Instead, he sneered, a laugh that echoed throughout the cave, making people feel particularly uncomfortable. "Our leader possesses power beyond your imagination. He is performing a ritual. Once completed, the world will be shrouded in darkness, and all of you so-called decent people will become slaves of darkness."

We were all shocked when we heard the news. Senior Sister Yunyao's face turned pale. She asked nervously, "What kind of ceremony is that?"

The man in black robe seemed to be deliberately trying to whet our appetite. He closed his mouth and stopped talking, but there was a smug look on his face, as if he was enjoying our anxiety and uneasiness.

Senior Brother Chu Feng frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes, but his tone remained firm: "No matter what, let's go to this so-called secret base first."

We left Lingyuan Cave with the black-robed man, following the general direction Sister Yunyao had sensed from the runes. Along the way, we passed through a dense forest. A faint mist hung in the air, like a white veil, gently enveloping the entire area, lending it a mysterious and menacing aura. From time to time, strange noises emanated from the forest, like the low moans of unknown beasts or the eerie whistling of wind through branches, leaving us with a chilling feeling.

"Everyone, be careful. There may be traps in this forest." Senior Brother Chu Feng reminded us as he walked cautiously. His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, his hand tightly gripping the long sword, ready to deal with any possible danger.

I also tightened my grip on my weapon, my heart filled with vigilance, my eyes fixed on the surroundings. Suddenly, a massive black spider descended from the tree, its appearance without warning, like a demon suddenly emerging from the darkness. The spider was more than a man's height, its shell seemingly impenetrable, like black armor. Its eyes gleamed red, like two burning flames, brimming with malice.

"It's a poisonous spider beast. Everyone, be careful of its venom." Senior Sister Yun Yao shouted loudly, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

The poisonous spider beast spit out a white spider silk at us. The silk moved at an extremely fast speed, like a white lightning shooting towards us. Brother Chu Feng reacted quickly. He swung his sword in a flash of silver light, and then cut the spider silk. The severed spider silk fell to the ground, still twisting slightly, as if it had a life of its own.

Seeing this, I immediately cast a fire spell. I thrust my hands forward, muttering an incantation. Flames shot forth from my hands, burning like angry serpents towards the venomous spider beast. The venomous spider beast's reflexes were remarkably agile, effortlessly dodging the flames before lunging at us again. Its eight legs danced swiftly in the air, each one like a sharp sickle, emitting a cold glow.

Senior Sister Yunyao formed seals with her hands, her movements skillful and swift. A single icy spike shot towards the venomous spider beast, tracing a blue trail through the air before precisely piercing one of its legs. The venomous spider beast roared in pain, its roar echoing through the forest, rustling the leaves. It grew even more frantic, its eight legs dancing relentlessly as if venting its rage, and it rushed towards us.

Senior Brother Chu Feng took advantage of the creature's charge and dashed forward, his figure as swift as lightning. He raised his longsword high in his hand and thrust it forcefully into the poisonous spider beast's body. The longsword easily pierced the spider beast's hard shell. The spider beast struggled a few times before slowly falling to the ground with a dull thud, raising a cloud of dust.

We continued on our way and finally arrived at a valley. The valley was filled with a thick, black fog, as thick as ink, making it impossible to see what was inside. The fog seemed to have life, slowly flowing through the valley, adding a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere to the valley.

"This should be the secret base." Senior Sister Yun Yao looked at the valley with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

We cautiously entered the valley and discovered an ancient building. It looked incredibly old, its walls covered in vines and damaged in places. Numerous rune formations surrounded the building, gleaming with a cold light, as if protecting it.

"These formations look very complicated. We must be careful." Senior Brother Chu Feng said seriously, looking at the formations around him. His eyes were filled with caution, and his steps were slow, fearing that they would trigger the formations.

We began looking for a way to crack the formation, and I found a control console on the side of the building. This console looked very strange, covered with some strange buttons and levers, and the buttons and levers were engraved with some small runes, which emitted a faint light.

"Brother, sister, there is a control console here. I think it may be related to the formation." I shouted excitedly, as if I saw hope of breaking the formation.

Senior Brother Chu Feng and Senior Sister Yun Yao heard my cry and hurried over. The three of us gathered around the control panel and began to examine it carefully. Senior Brother Chu Feng tried pressing a button, but there was no response. Senior Sister Yun Yao closed her eyes and used her spiritual power to perceive the secrets of the control panel. After some exploration, Senior Sister Yun Yao seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She pulled the levers and pressed the buttons in a certain order, each movement cautious and careful.

As she manipulated the rune formation around her, it began to flicker, its light flickering, like a mysterious dance. Then, the light gradually grew fainter, and finally disappeared completely, indicating the formation had been successfully broken.

We entered the building, which was dark, damp, and filled with a pungent odor. It was like the scent of a rotting corpse mixed with some unknown herb, making one feel sick. In the center of the hall stood a massive stone platform, engraved with sinister runes. Those runes seemed to tell a sinister story, emitting an unpleasant aura.

"This should be where they perform the ceremony." Senior Brother Chu Feng said, looking at the stone platform.

Suddenly, a low laugh came from the depths of the building: "You are finally here, but you are too late." The laughter sounded like the voice of a demon from hell, full of evil and arrogance.

A tall figure in a black robe slowly emerged, emitting a powerful, sinister aura that seemed to emanate from him, charging towards us. He was the leader of this evil organization, his eyes filled with disdain and cruelty, as if we were already his prey.

"Do you think you can stop me?" the leader said arrogantly, his voice echoing in the building with an unparalleled arrogance.

The three of us stood together, looking at each other with a look of resolute determination in our eyes. We gripped our weapons tightly, ready for the coming battle.

"We won't let you succeed." Senior Brother Chu Feng said firmly, his voice sounding particularly loud in this depressing atmosphere.

The battle is about to begin. Can we stop the evil leader's conspiracy? Everything is still unknown.
