Rise of the Otherworld.

The deep roar echoed through the valley, as if the entire place were trembling. The sound waves bounced off the stone walls, interweaving into a terrifying wave of sound. Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, and their heartbeats accelerated rapidly, as if they were about to burst out of their throats.

Zhang Hao paused, gestured for silence, and signaled everyone to proceed cautiously. His eyes were solemn and focused, and every subtle movement was cautious. They slowly approached the source of the sound, the dead branches under their feet making a crisp snapping sound in the silence, and every step was filled with caution.

Through the dense forest, a massive monster appeared before them. The beast was as tall as a mountain, its massive frame dominating their entire field of vision. Its body was covered in hard scales, each one gleaming with a cold light, as if cast from metal. In the dim light, it exuded a chilling chill. Its eyes were like flaming balls of fire, blazing flames dancing within them, and the light it emitted seemed capable of scorching the very soul. The breath from its mouth seemed to consume everything, carrying a billowing heat wave that scorched and distorted the surrounding air.

"What...what kind of monster is this?" The woman's voice was filled with unconcealable fear, and her voice trembled like fallen leaves blown by the cold wind.

The old man took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I have never seen such a terrifying beast. Everyone please be careful." His eyes were fixed on the beast, and his hand unconsciously clenched the talisman.

The herbalist's legs began to go weak, "I... Can we beat it?" His voice was tearful, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.

Zhang Hao gripped his sword tightly, his eyes firm, as if unshakable as steel. "No matter what, we must give it a try." His voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable determination.

The beast seemed to sense their presence, whipping its head around and roaring again, its maw wide open. The powerful sound waves sent leaves tumbling down like raindrops. Everyone felt a ringing in their ears, as if countless needles were pricking them, and their heads buzzing.

The black-robed figure quickly cast a spell, and a pale blue shield appeared before them. Mysterious runes shone on the shield, emitting a soft glow, attempting to block the terrifying sonic impact.

"Everyone, attack together!" Zhang Hao shouted, rushing out first. His figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, and his sword drew a sharp arc through the air.

The woman mustered her courage and cast a powerful spell. She waved her hands, muttering something, and brilliant light flew from her hands, hurtling toward the beast. The light, as bright as a shooting star, carried with it all her hope and courage.

The herbalist gritted his teeth and rushed forward with Zhang Hao, swinging the wooden stick at the beast. His eyes were filled with determination, and although his heart was filled with fear, he still did not hesitate.

The old man kept throwing out talismans from behind. The talismans burned in the air and turned into golden rays of light to provide support for them.

However, the beast's defenses were so formidable that their attacks seemed ineffective. Its scales, hard as iron, easily withstood their blows. The beast swung its massive claws, stirring up a gust of wind. The wind howled with boundless power, pushing back Zhang Hao and the others.

Zhang Hao fell heavily to the ground, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. His clothes were torn, revealing scars, but his eyes remained firm.

"Zhang Hao!" the woman exclaimed. Her voice was filled with concern and worry, and she wanted to rush over and help Zhang Hao up.

At this moment, the beast attacked again, raising its massive legs and stomping down on them. Its massive paws were like dark clouds pressing down on them, bringing with them the shadow of death.

"Get out of the way!" the black-robed man shouted, his voice shrill with nervousness.

At the critical moment, everyone dodged to the sides. The ground shook violently under the giant beast's stomping, and a huge deep pit appeared, with mud and rocks flying everywhere.

"This won't work. We have to find its weakness!" Zhang Hao shouted. His voice remained clear and firm amid the chaos.

However, the beast gave them no time to breathe, launching wave after wave of attack. Its tail swept across, as agile and deadly as a giant python. Flames continuously spewed from its mouth, instantly reducing the surrounding trees to ash.

They dodged and dodged the beast's attacks, looking distraught. Sweat soaked their clothes, and exhaustion was written on every face. But no one gave up. Their will to survive and their unwavering faith kept them fighting.

Zhang Hao dodged the attacks while observing the beast's movements, trying to find a flaw. The woman's spells continued to release, and although they couldn't cause any substantial damage to the beast, they did buy everyone some time.

The herbalist was panting and gradually losing strength, but he still held the wooden stick tightly and refused to retreat.

The old man's talisman was exhausted, but he was still thinking about the strategy to deal with it.

The black-robed man's magic power was also rapidly consumed, and his face became paler and paler.

Just when everyone was almost in despair, Zhang Hao suddenly discovered that the monster's eyes seemed to be its weakness...
