Rise of the Otherworld.

In this fierce battle, everyone gradually lost strength and their movements became sluggish. The monsters, seizing the opportunity, launched an even more fierce attack. Zhang Hao's arm was scratched by the monster, and blood flowed down his arm and dripped onto the ground. But he still gritted his teeth and fought hard, his eyes filled with unyielding determination.

The woman's magical glow grew fainter and fainter, her magical power nearing exhaustion. Every time she cast a spell, it felt like she was overdrawing her last bit of strength. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her breathing became rapid and heavy.

Just as everyone felt despair, a bright light suddenly shone through the woods. It instantly illuminated the entire battlefield, like the breaking light of dawn, dispelling the gloom of darkness. The light was so intense that the monsters subconsciously paused their attacks, their blood-red eyes fixed warily on the source.

An elderly man in white slowly approached, his steps light and steady, as if each step was treading on the void. In his hand, he held a staff radiating immense power, its tip inlaid with a dazzling gem, from which radiated light. The elderly man's face was kind and majestic, his eyes as deep as the ocean, unfathomable. He exuded an awe-inspiring aura, as if he were a god from ancient times.

"Which evildoer is so presumptuous here!" the old man in white shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty. The sound was like a huge bell, echoing throughout the forest and shaking the leaves.

The monsters seemed to be afraid of the old man in white and began to retreat. Their originally ferocious faces now revealed expressions of fear, and they turned around, trying to escape this place.

Zhang Hao and the others took the opportunity to catch their breath and looked at the old man in white with gratitude. Their eyes were filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster and deep respect for the old man.

"Thank you for your help, Senior," Zhang Hao said. His voice was a little hoarse from exhaustion, but his tone was full of sincerity.

The old man in white smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm. "You're welcome. I will help those who are injustice when I see them."

With that, the old man in white swung his staff, and a powerful spell struck the monsters. The spell, like a giant dragon, roared towards the monsters. The monsters howled in pain under the spell's attack, their bodies enveloped by the spell's light, instantly turning to ash.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their bodies seemed to have been drained of strength, and they suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"If it weren't for the senior's timely appearance, we would have been in great danger," the woman said, her face full of fatigue. Her hair was messy and stuck to her face, and her clothes were torn in several places, making her look disheveled.

The old man in white waved his hand and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Follow me." His voice was gentle but firm.

Everyone followed the old man in white to a cave. The cave was simply furnished, but very clean and tidy. Gems emitting faint light were inlaid on the cave walls, providing some illumination.

"You guys take a rest here for a while and recover your strength." said the old man in white.

Everyone sat down and began to regulate their breathing. They closed their eyes and tried to calm their breathing, allowing the disordered internal energy to gradually return to calm.

The little girl gradually stopped crying and fell asleep under the woman's comfort. Her little face was still covered with tear marks, which made people feel distressed.

After a while, Zhang Hao asked, "Senior, I wonder why you are here?" His voice was full of curiosity.

The old man in white smiled slightly, "I have been practicing here for many years. I felt a strong evil aura here, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to meet you." His eyes swept over everyone with a hint of concern.

Zhang Hao and his companions chatted with the old man in white and learned many secrets about this area. It turned out that this place was once a peaceful paradise, but for unknown reasons, evil forces have gradually risen in recent years, causing harm to all.

After a good rest, everyone prepared to move on.

"There are probably many dangers ahead, so be careful," the old man in white said, his eyes filled with worry.

After Zhang Hao and the others thanked the old man in white, they set out on their journey again. Their figures, bathed in the sunlight, gradually faded away, carrying with them their unwavering faith and fearless courage...
