Rise of the Otherworld.

Lin Yu saw the giant python open its bloody mouth and pounce. In an instant, he dodged and barely avoided the fatal blow. The python's fangs slashed through the air, bringing with them a gust of fishy wind. The python missed and twisted its body in anger, attacking Lin Yu again. Its huge body was like a rolling wave, raising dust wherever it went.

"Everyone disperse!" Lin Yu shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the valley, full of urgency and tension.

Everyone scattered, fearing they would be harmed by the ferocious python. Their footsteps were chaotic and hurried in the mist, and their heartbeats were like the rapid beats of drums.

Lin Yu dodged the python's attacks nimbly while searching for its weaknesses. His eyes were fixed on the python's every move, not daring to relax even a little. Every time the python attacked, it brought a gust of wind, and Lin Yu's clothes rustled in the wind.

The python's body was thick and powerful, and every impact caused the ground to tremble slightly. The huge force caused the surrounding rocks to crack and trees to fall. Lin Yu seized the opportunity, jumped up, and stabbed the long sword in his hand towards the python's eyes. His figure drew an arc in the air, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

The python sensed the danger and swung its tail violently, whipping Lin Yu away. Lin Yu's body flew out like a cannonball and hit a huge rock heavily.

"Master!" the disciples exclaimed. Their voices were filled with worry and fear, their eyes filled with anxiety.

Lin Yu fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted. A sharp pain came over him, almost making him faint. But he endured the pain and stood up again. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he ignored it.

At this moment, the python seemed to be completely enraged, and it frantically attacked everything around it. Its huge body swept past, stirring up a cloud of dust and gravel.

One disciple was unable to dodge and was swept up by the python. He struggled desperately in the air, but was unable to break free from the python's grip.

"Let him go!" Xiaoyaozi, upon seeing this, unleashed a powerful spell. He formed seals with his hands, muttering something, and a beam of icy blue light shot out from his hands, shooting towards the python. The light was like a glacier, carrying a bone-chilling chill.

The python felt pain and let go of the disciple. The disciple fell from the air and the other disciples quickly caught him.

Lin Yu took this opportunity and rushed towards the python again. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if this was his last battle. He used all his strength and stabbed the sword into the python's vital point.

The python let out a shrill roar that echoed throughout the valley, making everyone's ears buzz. Its body struggled violently, stirring the surrounding fog into even greater chaos.

Finally, the python struggled a few times and fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a low roar from deep in the valley. The sound seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, full of endless anger and majesty.

"What is this?" A disciple's face turned pale. His voice trembled, and his legs were weak, almost unable to stand.

Lin Yu frowned and said, "No matter what it is, we must deal with it carefully." Although his voice was calm, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

They continued on their way, and before they had gone far, they discovered a huge swamp ahead. The swamp was filled with a poisonous green mist that slowly flowed through the air, making it impossible to see its depth.

"What should I do?" Xiaoyaozi looked troubled. He looked at the swamp before him, feeling helpless.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll try it first." His voice was firm and steady, bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.

As he spoke, he picked up a branch and carefully stretched it towards the swamp. As soon as the branch touched the swamp, it was quickly swallowed up, leaving no trace.

"Master, it's too dangerous!" a disciple shouted.

Lin Yu looked back at everyone and said, "If we don't try, we will never get out." After that, he took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the swamp.

As soon as his feet touched the swamp, he felt a strong suction coming, as if to drag him into the abyss. Lin Yu tried hard to maintain his balance and moved forward little by little.

Suddenly, he felt something moving under his feet.

Can Lin Yu successfully pass through the swamp and lead everyone to move forward?
