Rise of the Otherworld.

The sinister laughter echoed through the mist, sending chills down everyone's spines. It seemed to emanate from the depths of the abyss, carrying with it an endless chill and evil. Every note was like a sharp needle, pricking everyone's nerves.

"Who is it?" Zhang Hao shouted, his voice filled with anger and vigilance. His eyes were wide, and he gripped his sword tightly, veins bulging as he prepared to respond to any possible attack.

However, only laughter continued to be heard, but no one responded. The laughter seemed to mock their incompetence and fear, making them even more uneasy.

The woman hugged the little girl tightly, her body trembling slightly, "What on earth is going on?" Her voice was filled with tears, and fear made her almost lose the ability to think.

Ling Yu tried hard to calm himself down, "Don't panic, let's stay calm and think of a solution first." He took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, but the cold sweat that kept coming out of his forehead betrayed his inner nervousness.

The mysterious man gripped his dagger tightly and slowly moved towards the direction of the laughter. His steps were firm and cautious, and he took every step carefully, fearing to alert the unknown being hidden in the fog.

Zhang Hao tried to rely on his memory to determine the direction and lead everyone out of the fog, "Everyone follow my voice." His voice seemed a little vague in the fog, but it brought a glimmer of hope to everyone.

However, after walking for a long time, they were still trapped in the fog. The fog was like a huge maze, and no matter how they walked, they could not find the exit.

At this moment, strange shadows began to appear in the mist, their shadows were vague and eerie. The shadows were distorted, sometimes elongated, sometimes shortened, as if they were constantly changing shape.

"What are these?" the little girl cried in fear. Her cry was particularly miserable in the silent fog, making people feel distressed.

The old man comforted her, "Don't be afraid, child, we are here." He patted the little girl's back gently, trying to give her some sense of security.

Suddenly, the shadows rushed towards them, their speed was extremely fast, like ghosts.

Zhang Hao swung his sword at the shadow, only to find that the sword passed through it without any effect. "This isn't a physical entity!" Zhang Hao shouted. His heart was filled with confusion and shock. Facing this unknown enemy, he felt powerless.

Everyone used their own abilities to try to resist these mysterious shadows, but to no avail. The magic light and the power of the talismans disappeared without a trace the moment they came into contact with the shadows.

Just when everyone felt hopeless, the little girl radiated light again. The light was weak at first, but with the little girl's efforts, it became stronger and stronger.

The shadows seemed to retreat under the light. They no longer attacked recklessly as before, but instead lingered on the edge of the light.

"Come on, little girl!" the mysterious man shouted, his voice full of anticipation and encouragement.

The little girl bit her lip, trying to make the light shine brighter. Her face flushed red, and beads of sweat covered her forehead, but she persisted.

Under the pressure of the light, the fog gradually dissipated and the shadows disappeared. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to find themselves in a completely unfamiliar place. It was a vast valley, surrounded by towering peaks, and a faint mist permeated the valley. The peaks were steep and precipitous, shrouded in clouds and mist, as if connected to the sky. The valley was dotted with jagged rocks and exotic flowers and plants, yet exuded an eerie atmosphere.

"Where is this?" The woman looked around in confusion. Her eyes were filled with confusion and uneasiness. This unfamiliar environment made her feel terrified.

"No matter what, let's first find a way out," Zhang Hao said. His voice was firm and decisive. Although he was filled with doubts, he knew that fear and confusion could not take over their hearts.

They began to explore the valley cautiously. The ground beneath their feet was soft and damp, and they had to be extremely careful with every step, fearing they might fall into an unknown trap. Strange noises could be heard from the surrounding grass from time to time, making them feel terrified.

Lingyu walked in front, holding a branch in his hand, pushing aside the grass to check the situation ahead. "Everyone be careful, there seem to be a lot of unknown dangers here." His voice was low and nervous.

The mysterious man observed his surroundings vigilantly, the dagger in his hand never dropping. "Stay alert, don't let your guard down," he said in a short, forceful voice.

The old man followed behind, observing the surrounding plants and terrain as he walked, trying to find some clues.

The little girl held the woman's hand tightly, her eyes full of fear.

Suddenly, a huge python jumped out from the tree, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on them...
