The male protagonist of the book is poisonous

We walked cautiously along the castle's dim corridors. The air around us seemed frozen, filled with an oppressive, suffocating atmosphere. The darkness was like thick ink, ready to swallow us up at any moment.

"Luo Chen, this mission is not easy. We have to be careful." I gripped the sword tightly, the touch of the hilt giving me a sense of security. I looked around vigilantly, my eyes like a sharp eagle, not missing any corner that might be dangerous.

"Yes, those magic traps and guardian creatures are not easy to deal with. However, let's first think about how to deal with those traps related to elemental power." The wand in Luo Chen's hand flickered with a faint blue light. The light was like a fire of hope in the darkness. Although small, it flickered firmly, as if responding to his words.

We continued walking slowly until we heard the gentle gurgling of running water. The sound was remarkably clear in the silent hallway, like a mysterious whisper. I paused, my body frozen in place, and nervously wondered, "Could this be a sign of a water elemental trap?"

Luo Chen also stopped and listened carefully for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if trying to capture every detail of the sound. "It's possible. Let's first see if there's anything unusual around us," he said softly.

We searched the area carefully, like two small animals foraging for food. Finally, we discovered some strange runes on the ground. They were like ancient codes, exuding a mysterious aura. A faint vapor emanated from the runes, rising like a veil.

"These runes look very complicated. I don't think we can move forward rashly." I said with a frown, my heart full of worry.

Luo Chen squatted down, his eyes fixed on the runes, his expression so focused that he seemed to want to see through them. After studying them for a while, he slowly said, "I think these runes are a kind of ancient water-sealing magic. If triggered, they might trigger an attack like a flood."

"Then how can we pass?" I asked anxiously, my voice unconsciously rising a little.

"I'll try to use my magic to neutralize the power of these runes," Luo Chen said, taking a deep breath as if to encourage himself. Then he began to wave his wand, muttering something. The spell flowed slowly from his mouth like a mysterious ballad.

A soft blue light slowly emanated from the tip of the wand. Like a nimble little snake, it slowly approached the rune. The moment it touched the rune, it suddenly shone with a brilliant light, like the blazing sun. A powerful force, like a surging wave, sent Luo Chen reeling back several steps.

"Luo Chen, are you okay?" I rushed over to support him, my eyes full of concern.

"It's okay. The power of this rune is stronger than I thought. It seems we have to find another way." Luo Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to my mind, and my eyes lit up, "Luo Chen, we can find something to cover these runes and pass through quickly."

"This is a good idea, but where can we find something to cover ourselves?" Luo Chen asked with confusion in his eyes.

I looked around like an explorer searching for treasure. Suddenly, I saw some worn-out planks not far away. "Look, those planks might come in handy," I said excitedly, pointing at them.

We hurried over. The planks looked rotten, but at that moment, they held our hope. We carefully lifted them, as if they were precious treasures, and slowly approached the rune. The moment we placed the planks over the rune, the mist vanished as if by magic, and the gurgling water ceased.

"Success! Let's go." I said excitedly, my heart filled with joy.

We continued on our way, and after a while, we felt the temperature around us gradually rising. The heat was like an invisible flame, burning our bodies.

"This is the feeling of a fire element trap." Luo Chen said with a frown, beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead.

We saw an area ahead of us flashing red, with flames dancing merrily on the walls like a group of demons. The flames were a dazzling red, as if they were going to burn everything to ashes.

"How do we get through? Just rushing in definitely won't work." I said, looking at the sea of ​​fire, my heart full of worry.

Luo Chen thought for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I can try to summon a water shield, but my magic power has been consumed quite a lot, I don't know if it can support us through."

"We have to try anyway," I encouraged, looking at him firmly.

Luo Chen waved his wand again, chanting a spell. It was like a cry from the depths of his soul, and a blue water shield slowly formed before us. But this shield seemed a little flimsy, like a layer of fragile glass.

"Let's go!" Luo Chen shouted, with a hint of determination in his voice.

We rushed into the sea of ​​fire. The flames, like hungry beasts, continuously attacked the water shield. The water shield sizzled, the sound like water simmering in a boiling pot, and water droplets were constantly evaporated, turning into wisps of white steam.

"Hold on, Luo Chen!" I shouted, my voice full of tension.

Just as we were about to pass through the sea of ​​fire, a fireball suddenly flew towards us like a meteor, directly hitting the water shield. The water shield shattered instantly, and the sound of shattering was like the sound of a shattered dream. We were surrounded by flames, which were like the claws of a demon, relentlessly grasping at our bodies.

"Ah!" Luo Chen and I screamed at the same time.

But fortunately, we found a narrow passage next to it and the fire did not spread there. We rushed into the passage as if we had found a life-saving straw and temporarily avoided the attack of the flames.

"That was close. We need to recover before moving on." I said, panting, my body still trembling slightly from the pain just now.

After a short rest, we continued walking deeper into the castle. Suddenly, a chilling wind blew in our faces. It felt like a breath from hell, icy and biting, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Is this a wind element trap?" I asked loudly, my voice trembling slightly in the wind.

"It's very likely. We have to be careful." Luo Chen gripped the wand tightly, his hand turning a little white from the force.

A huge vent appeared ahead, and the wind howled fiercely, the sound like countless ghosts crying. There seemed to be sharp objects mixed in the wind, like the scythe of the god of death.

"How do we get through? The wind is too strong." I shouted, my voice almost drowned out by the strong wind.

Luo Chen looked at the vent, a thought flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I have a way. I can use magic to fix our bodies, and then we can walk over slowly."

"Then you should try it." I said, my heart full of anticipation.

Luo Chen waved his wand, and a beam of light enveloped us. It was like a solid suit of armor, filling us with strength. We began to walk toward the wind's vent. The strong wind continuously buffeted us, but our bodies remained firmly planted on the ground.

Just as we were about to leave the wind tunnel, the wind suddenly grew stronger, as if it wanted to keep us there forever. Sharp rocks flew out of the wind and hit us. They were as dense as raindrops and flew at a very fast speed.

"Be careful!" I shouted, swinging my sword to deflect a few rocks. My sword flashed coldly through the air, and the rocks and sword collided with each other with a crisp sound.

Luo Chen also concentrated his magic power, increasing its strength. Veins popped on his forehead, and sweat streamed down his face. Finally, we struggled out of the wind tunnel.

"There's still earth element traps we haven't encountered yet. I wonder what they'll look like." I said, my heart filled with worry about the unknown.

"Anyway, we are getting closer and closer to the sealed room." Luo Chen said. Although his voice was a little tired, it was full of determination.

We continued to move forward, and soon we saw some huge mounds of earth appearing on the ground. Strange eyes were flickering on the mounds. Those eyes were like mysterious signal lights, emitting an eerie light.

"This should be an earth element trap. Those piles of earth look like they are alive." I said vigilantly, my eyes fixed on the piles of earth.

The piles of earth suddenly began to move, like a giant monster awakening, rolling towards us. The sound of the rolling was like thunder, shaking the ground slightly.

"We need to disperse and then find opportunities to attack their weaknesses." Luo Chen shouted, his voice sounding particularly loud in this tense atmosphere.

Luo Chen and I ran to the opposite sides, and the mound split into two parts, chasing us respectively.

I spotted a mound of earth, charged toward it, and leaped to my feet, swinging my sword at the spot on the mound where the eyes flashed. As soon as my sword penetrated, the mound stopped moving and slowly collapsed. The sound of the collapse was like a small hill collapsing.

Luo Chen also used magic to hit the eyes of the mound, and the mound also collapsed.

"Finally solved the earth element trap. The sealed room should be just ahead." I said excitedly, my heart full of excitement.

We ran forward and saw a room emitting a mysterious light. There were some huge stone statues and some ghosts wandering around the room. The stone statues were like ancient guardians, exuding a majestic aura; the ghosts were like elusive shadows, making it difficult to understand.

"This is the guardian creature, get ready for battle." Luo Chen gripped his wand tightly, his expression as serious as a cold rock.
