Rise of the Otherworld.

A massive figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It towered like a mountain, emanating a terrifying aura that instantly cooled the entire cave. The outline of the enormous beast loomed in the darkness, its massive bulk seemingly filling the entire cave, a formidable sight.

Everyone's eyes widened in horror, their bodies involuntarily stepping back. Zhang Hao clenched his sword, his arms trembling slightly, yet he forced himself to remain calm. His heartbeat raced, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, but he remained fixed on the beast, not daring to let his guard down for even a moment.

"What kind of monster is this?" The herbalist's voice trembled, his legs weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with despair and fear, as if he had seen his own end.

The woman raised her magic wand, muttering something, ready to unleash her magic against the impending danger. Her gaze was firm and focused. Though her heart was filled with fear, she knew she couldn't retreat. A faint light flickered on the wand, like a twinkling star in the night sky, ready to unleash its powerful power.

The mysterious man stared at the beast with a serious expression, thinking of a countermeasure. His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a flaw in the beast's actions.

The beast approached them with heavy steps. The ground trembled slightly with each step, and its massive paws seemed capable of crushing everything. Its breathing was like thunder, echoing in the cave and making people tremble with fear.

The old man protected the little girl behind him, and the staff in his hand flashed with a faint light. "Everyone be careful!" Although his voice was trembling, it was full of concern and determination to protect.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't be afraid, we'll attack together!" As he spoke, he rushed towards the beast. His figure was like a flash of lightning in the darkness, and he was close to the beast in an instant.

The woman's magic instantly unleashed a beam of light, shooting into the beast's eyes. Like a sharp sword, the magical light pierced the beast directly. The beast roared in pain, waving its massive claws at Zhang Hao. The claws whirred with the wind, seemingly capable of tearing through anything.

Zhang Hao dodged nimbly to the side and slashed at the beast's leg. The sword collided with the beast's skin, sending out a string of sparks, but his attack seemed to be just a tickle to the beast, causing no substantial damage at all.

The mysterious man also unleashed a powerful spell, sending runes flying towards the beast, leaving faint marks on its body. The runes shone with a mysterious light, colliding with the beast's dark aura, creating a crackling sound.

The beast was completely enraged. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black smoke. The smoke quickly spread, carrying a pungent smell. Everyone suddenly felt difficulty breathing and their vision became blurred.

"Hold your breath, don't panic!" Zhang Hao shouted. His voice was a little blurry in the smoke, but it was still full of strength and determination.

In the smoke, everyone could only rely on sound and feel to determine the beast's location, making the battle even more difficult. Every attack was filled with uncertainty, and every evasion was like groping in the dark.

The little girl was so scared that she started crying, "Grandpa, I'm scared!" Her crying sounded particularly miserable in the smoke, which was heartbreaking.

The old man comforted her, "Don't be afraid, child, I'm here," while trying to cast some protective spells for everyone. His staff shone, forming a weak shield to try to protect everyone from the erosion of the smoke.

Just when everyone was in dire straits, Zhang Hao suddenly discovered the beast's weakness. There was a lighter area on the beast's belly, which seemed to be its weakest defense.

"Attack its belly!" Zhang Hao shouted. His voice was filled with hope and determination, as if injecting new strength into everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their strength and attacked the beast's belly. The woman's magical light, the mysterious man's runes, and Zhang Hao's sword all attacked the beast's belly at the same time.

The beast felt threatened and struggled desperately. Its roar was deafening and rocks in the cave fell one after another.

But the crowd did not retreat. They gritted their teeth and continued to attack.

Finally, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the belly of the giant beast was breached, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Peace returned to the cave, and everyone collapsed on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

"We...we did it..." Zhang Hao said weakly, with a relieved smile on his face.

However, before they could celebrate, a strange noise came from deep within the cave...
