The male protagonist of the book is poisonous

The monster's roar echoed through the corridor, making our ears ring. The sound waves, like a physical attack, assaulted our eardrums and made our heads spin. But we showed no sign of retreat. Like two fearless warriors, standing firm at the bow of a ship facing surging waves, unafraid of the approaching storm. Luo Chen and I exchanged glances, each seeing a resolute resolve in our eyes. It was a conviction that ran deep in our bones, a stubborn will that would not give up until we vanquished the enemy before us.

I took a deep breath, gripping my sword tightly. The lines on the hilt seemed to transmit strength through my palm. I took the lead, wielding the sword and charging at the monster. My footsteps made a dull thud against the ground, each step punctuated by a desperate courage. The sword flashed through the air, a flash of cold light like a meteor in the night sky, slashing at the monster's leg. The monster seemed to sense my attack, its massive body shifting with an agility disproportionate to its size. My sword only grazed its scales with a spark. The spark was fleeting, but it made me clearly feel the scales were harder than I had imagined, like steel, and my arm went numb from the shock.

Luo Chen wasn't idle either. He gently waved his wand, and the gem on its tip gleamed with a mysterious light. A blue beam of magic shot towards the monster. Like a bolt of blue lightning, it traced a beautiful arc through the air and struck the creature on the back. The monster roared in agony, a roar that echoed through the castle corridors, threatening to shake the walls apart. But this only seemed to enrage it. Its red eyes grew even more ferocious, like blazing flames. It spun abruptly, its massive tail whistling as it swept towards Luo Chen. Luo Chen's reaction was swift, like a nimble hare, leaping backwards. Each leap felt like a brush with death's scythe, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"This monster's tough to deal with. We need to find a way," I shouted, my voice tinged with urgency amidst the tense atmosphere. Meanwhile, my eyes scanned the surroundings like a radar, scanning for possible openings. I noticed some strange protrusions on the corridor walls; perhaps I could use these to formulate a battle plan.

The monster charged at us again, its every step sending the ground trembling like a miniature earthquake. Its maw opened wide, and a putrid stench filled my face, a nauseating stench like a mixture of rotting corpses and sulfur. I held my breath, swallowing the pungent smell. I seized my moment and stabbed the monster's eye. This time, the monster had no time to dodge, and my sword successfully pierced its left eye. The monster let out an even more shrill cry, one filled with pain and rage. It lashed its claws wildly, the wind whipping up from its claws like a knife against my face. The force of its blow sent me flying backward, slamming hard against the wall. A sharp pain shot through my back, like countless needles piercing my body.

Seeing this, Luo Chen quickly ran to my side. "Are you okay?" he asked with concern, his voice full of worry. He squatted down and checked my injuries.

I shook my head and tried to stand, but a wave of dizziness nearly caused me to fall again. I gritted my teeth and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth. "I can still hold on." My eyes remained firm. Although my body was injured, my fighting spirit was not extinguished.

At this moment, black blood continuously flowed from the monster's left eye, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound, as if it were corrosive. Its rage had reached its peak, and it began to spin madly in place, sending rubble flying from the surrounding walls as its tail and claws swept through them. The rubble flew through the air like bullets, and we had to dodge these dangerous flying stones.

We hid behind a collapsed stone pillar, temporarily avoiding the monster's attack. The wreckage of the stone pillar provided us with some cover, but we knew it wouldn't last. "We can't hide forever, we have to take the initiative to attack." Luo Chen said, his eyes revealing a sense of determination.

I looked at the sword in my hand, then at Luo Chen's wand, and a thought suddenly struck me. "Luo Chen, we can combine our powers. You use magic to attract its attention, and I'll find an opportunity to attack its belly from the side. The scales there look relatively weak." I pointed to an area on the monster's abdomen. The scales there seemed slightly lighter in color, perhaps its weak point.

Luo Chen nodded, "Good idea." He began to concentrate and prepare to cast magic.

Luo Chen stood up, waved his wand, and drew a complex magic circle in the air. The circle shimmered with dazzling light, imbued with mysterious runes. These runes, like ancient spells, slowly flowed through the air. A dazzling white light shot out from the magic circle, shooting towards the monster. Attracted by the light, the monster's furious eyes immediately turned to Luo Chen, then charged towards him. Its speed was so great that it left a deep scar on the ground.

I took the opportunity to quietly move around to the side of the monster. My footsteps were as light as a cat, for fear that any sound would be noticed by the monster. I moved slowly along the wall, using the shadow of the wall to hide my body. While it was attacking Luo Chen, I suddenly rushed towards its abdomen and stabbed the sword with all my strength. The moment the sword blade pierced the monster's abdomen, I felt a resistance, and then a feeling of breakthrough. The monster felt a sharp pain in its abdomen and wanted to turn around and attack me, but Luo Chen's magic followed. White magic beams kept hitting the monster's body, making it overwhelmed. Every time a magic beam hit it, it would produce a small explosion, and the light of the explosion flashed on the monster's body.

I pulled my sword free with all my might and stabbed it several more times. With each thrust, the monster let out a wail of pain. Its body began to stagger, and black blood pooled on the ground, emitting a pungent odor and emitting black smoke. Its attacks grew weaker, its claws swishing slower, and the sweeps of its tail lost their former power.

Finally, with a long wail, the monster collapsed to the ground, its massive body smashing into the ground and raising a cloud of dust that filled the air, making it almost impossible to see our surroundings.

We breathed a sigh of relief. Although exhausted, we had successfully defeated this powerful enemy. My body felt like it was falling apart, every muscle was aching, and Luo Chen was not much better. His magic consumption made him look a little weak.

"Let's keep going," Luo Chen said. His voice was a little tired, but still firm.

We stepped over the corpses of the monsters and made our way deeper into the castle. With every step, we could feel the mysterious atmosphere growing thicker. At the end of the corridor, a half-open door shone faintly. That light, like a mysterious call, drew us ever closer. We didn't know what awaited us beyond the door, but we knew that no matter how many dangers lay ahead, we must bravely move forward. Having already embarked on this adventurous journey filled with unknowns, there was no turning back. Only by constantly moving toward our goal could we uncover all its secrets.
