Rise of the Otherworld.

The sword flew like a meteor, heading straight for the beast's eyes. In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the sword. The blade traced a dazzling arc through the air, carrying with it the hopes and determination of the people.

The sword pierced the beast's eye with unerring precision, and it roared in agony, a deafening roar that seemed to pierce the heavens and shake the entire desolate land. It thrashed madly, its massive claws lashing wildly, lifting layer after layer of the surrounding earth into massive waves of dust.

Zhang Hao seized the opportunity to scramble to his feet and charged the beast once more. His eyes burned with an unyielding fire, and each step was firm and powerful. The woman followed closely behind him, the magic light in her hand flickering. Her lips were tightly pursed, and her forehead was covered in sweat, but her gaze never left the beast.

"Everyone, come together! This is our last chance!" Zhang Hao shouted. His voice was a little hoarse in the strong wind, but it was full of power, inspiring everyone's fighting spirit.

The old man protected the little girl and cast a supporting spell on them from a distance, enhancing their strength and defense. The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, but at this moment, he looked extremely solemn and serious. The staff in his hand shone with a soft light, like a beacon of hope.

The herbalist also mustered up his courage, picked up a stone, and threw it at the beast. Although his strength was insignificant, his courage was admirable.

The beast's movements became sluggish due to its eye injury, and Zhang Hao and the others' attacks began to cause effective damage to it. Cracks appeared on its armor, and blood gushed from the wounds, staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

However, the beast did not fall easily, still making its final struggle. Its only remaining eye was filled with anger and unwillingness, as if it wanted to use its last bit of strength to destroy all the humans who offended it.

Suddenly, the beast swung its claws at Zhang Hao. Unable to dodge, Zhang Hao was sent flying. His body arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Zhang Hao!" The woman was extremely anxious and rushed towards Zhang Hao desperately. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were full of concern and worry.

At this moment, the mysterious man discovered the beast's fatal weakness - deep in its throat, there was a crystal stone emitting a strange light. The light flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if beating to an evil rhythm.

"Attack its throat!" the mysterious man shouted, his voice filled with a hint of urgency and excitement.

The woman heard the shout, stopped, turned around, and cast a spell at the beast's throat. She raised her magic wand with both hands, muttered something, and powerful magic gathered around her into a dazzling ball of light.

However, the beast sensed their intention and tightly shut its mouth, not allowing them a chance to attack. A deep roar emanated from its throat, as if mocking their presumptuousness.

Zhang Hao got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing determination. His clothes were tattered and his body was covered with wounds, but his spine was still straight.

"I'll divert its attention, and you take the opportunity to attack!" After saying that, Zhang Hao rushed towards the giant beast again, constantly jumping and attacking around it, trying to provoke it.

The beast was indeed attracted to Zhang Hao, and it opened its mouth and roared at him. The hot air from its mouth seemed to be able to melt everything.

The woman and the mysterious man seized the opportunity and simultaneously launched their strongest attack. A beam of light and a spell shot straight at the beast's throat. Like two bolts of lightning, the light and spell instantly penetrated the beast's defenses.

There was a loud bang, and the huge body of the beast fell to the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust. The dust filled the air and did not dissipate for a long time.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, their faces showing the joy of having survived. Their bodies were exhausted to the extreme, but their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.

"We succeeded..." the herbalist said weakly. There was a tremor in his voice, as if he still couldn't believe that they had really defeated this terrifying beast.

Just as they were about to celebrate, the surroundings suddenly shifted. The already gloomy sky grew even darker, and a howling wind blew up a cloud of sand and rocks. The ground began to shake violently, and huge cracks began to spread.

"What's going on?" the little girl asked in horror.

Zhang Hao frowned and looked around vigilantly. "Everyone, be careful! There may be new dangers!"

Black smoke slowly rose from the cracks, and a sinister laugh could be heard faintly from the smoke...
