Rise of the Otherworld.

As they entered the misty valley, the dense fog seemed to have a life of its own, entwining themselves around them and severely limiting their vision. Every step forward felt like stepping into an unknown abyss, filling them with unease and fear.

Zhang Hao walked in front, sword in hand, always ready to deal with any danger. "Everyone, follow closely. Don't get separated." His voice was a little muffled in the thick fog, but it carried a reassuring power. His eyes were firm and sharp, trying to find the way ahead through the thick fog.

The woman held the little girl's hand tightly, looking around nervously. The little girl's eyes were filled with fear, and her tiny body trembled constantly. The woman whispered soothingly, "Don't be afraid, baby, I'm here." But her own heartbeat was also accelerating, and her palms were covered in sweat.

Lingyu and the mysterious man were watching the movements on either side, their nerves tense, not daring to relax even a little. The dagger in the mysterious man's hand flashed with a cold light, and Lingyu's staff emitted a faint light, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

"It seems like something is staring at us in the fog," the little girl said in a trembling voice. Her voice was filled with tears, which made people feel heartbroken.

"Don't be afraid, we are here for you," the woman comforted the little girl, but her heartbeat was also accelerating. She could feel the little girl's hand trembling in hers, as if she could sense the little girl's inner fear.

Suddenly, a chilly wind blew by, bringing with it a pungent smell that was nauseating, like the breath of death.

"Be careful!" Zhang Hao had barely finished his words when a massive, poisonous spider leaped out of the fog and charged straight at the little girl in the middle of the group. The spider was massive, its eight long legs like sharp spears, and the venom it spewed from its mouth made a sizzling sound in the air.

Everyone was startled. Zhang Hao reacted quickly, swinging his sword at the venomous spider. His movements were swift and decisive, and the sword flashed a cold light through the air. The spider nimbly dodged, and venom spurted from its mouth, splashing onto the ground and instantly rising into a puff of green smoke.

The mysterious man dodged sideways, stabbing the spider's abdomen with his dagger. His movements were lightning-fast, his eyes filled with determination. The spider cried out in pain, a shrill cry that echoed through the valley, chilling the very bones.

Ling Yu took the opportunity to cast a spell, and a beam of light hit the poisonous spider, slowing its movements for a moment. The light illuminated the surrounding fog, temporarily dispelling the darkness.

The old man quickly chanted a spell, and a barrier appeared in front of everyone, blocking the venom that the spider was about to spray. The venom splashed on the barrier, making a crackling sound.

Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and struck with his sword, severing one of the spider's legs. The spider lost its balance and fell to the ground. However, it did not give up its attack and continued to struggle to stand up.

Everyone rushed forward, using all kinds of weapons and spells to attack the poisonous spider. After a fierce battle, they finally eliminated the poisonous spider completely.

"I wonder how many more monsters like this are in this valley," Ling Yu gasped. Her face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"No matter how many there are, we're going to get through," Zhang Hao said firmly. There was no sign of retreat in his eyes, only determination to move forward.

As they continued to move forward, the fog grew thicker and the road became more rugged and difficult to walk on. They had to be careful with every step they took, fearing they would fall into an unknown trap.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the front, shaking the ground slightly. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with anger and murderous intent.

"What is this?" The woman's face turned even paler. Her voice trembled as she clutched the little girl tightly with both hands.

Everyone stopped and looked ahead warily. A gigantic, two-headed monster slowly emerged from the fog, its eyes flashing with ferocity. Each head yawned with a bloody maw, its teeth sharp as saw teeth.

"This monster looks difficult to deal with." The mysterious man clenched the dagger in his hand, his eyes full of vigilance.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, get ready for battle!"

The two-headed monster rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed. Everyone displayed their own abilities and started a life-and-death struggle with the monster...
