On the ancient and solemn altar of the Spirit Deer Kingdom, sunlight streamed in, illuminating the long robe embroidered with mysterious runes of the Grand Preceptor Liu Jun. The runes shimmered faintly, seemingly possessing a spirit. Grand Preceptor Liu Jun's expression was solemn as she slowly raised her hands, chanting incantations that were ancient and distant, as if they came from the end of time.

As the incantation grew more intense, the surrounding air began to vibrate violently, and spiritual energy surged forth like a tidal wave. Suddenly, the Imperial Preceptor clasped his hands together and then quickly separated them, two dazzling beams of light shooting out from his palms. The light, like agile dragons, roared and disappeared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the sky shifted dramatically, dark clouds churning and swirling like an invisible giant hand stirring things up. Then, a deafening roar echoed from the clouds, and a crimson flame rhinoceros, its body as large as a mountain, broke through the clouds and slowly descended. Its entire body was engulfed in flames, the roaring fire radiating intense heat that distorted the surrounding air. The crimson flame rhinoceros's single horn was incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light, as if it could easily pierce steel.

Almost simultaneously, a sharp screech ripped through the sky, and a shadowy dragon, its body crackling with black lightning, swooped down from the clouds on the other side. Its body was long and agile, its scales shimmering eerily in the lightning. Each flap of its wings stirred up a gust of wind, accompanied by the crackling of thunder.

Grand Preceptor Liu Jun looked solemnly at the two powerful monsters that had been summoned, raised his hand, pointed in the direction of the Spirit Deer Illusion Forest, and said in a deep voice, "Go, set up many trials in that Illusion Forest to test the four children."

The Crimson Flame Rhinoceros let out a deep roar, its powerful limbs swaying as it charged towards the Spirit Deer Illusion Forest like a moving volcano. Wherever it went, deep footprints were left in the ground, and the surrounding vegetation was instantly ignited by the intense heat, turning into a sea of ​​fire.

The Shadow Dragon circled once in the sky before flying towards the forest like a black lightning bolt. Where it flew, it left trails of black lightning in the sky, as if it were about to tear the heavens apart.

When these two powerful monsters entered the Spirit Deer Illusion Forest, the entire forest descended into chaos. The already eerie and sinister forest was now filled with deadly danger. The monsters' power intertwined with the forest's mysterious forces, and a thrilling trial awaited Zhu Xiang'er, Wu Dongzi, Shi Linnan, and Shi Yuan.

The four had trudged through the Spirit Deer Illusion Forest for a long time, each of them utterly exhausted. Wu Dongzi slipped and nearly fell, but he forced himself to stand, panting heavily, and said, "I can't go on. I need to find a place to rest. I really can't walk anymore." Zhu Xiang'er, pale-faced and with her bangs soaked with sweat, nodded in agreement, panting slightly. Shi Linnan's legs felt like lead, each step incredibly heavy. He looked around anxiously, longing to find a place to rest. Although Shi Yuan remained silent, his slightly trembling hands betrayed his exhaustion.

They trudged along, searching through the dense forest. Suddenly, Zhu Xiang'er's eyes lit up, and she pointed ahead: "Look, there's a clearing over there, and a cave next to it." Hearing this, everyone perked up and quickened their pace towards that spot.

Upon reaching the open space, they were surrounded by tall, sturdy trees whose layers of leaves formed a natural barrier, blocking some of the eerie mist. The cave entrance was small and concealed by vines, making it appear quite hidden. Shi Linnan carefully parted the vines, peered into the cave, and, after confirming there was no danger, invited everyone inside.

The cave was damp and the ground was fairly level. They entered one by one and slowly sat down against the cave wall. Zhu Xiang'er gently rubbed her aching ankles, a look of relaxation on her face. Wu Dongzi tilted his head back, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face. Shi Linnan took out a piece of dry rations from his pocket, broke off a few pieces and distributed them to everyone: "Eat something to replenish your strength." Shi Yuan took the rations and silently began to eat.

Just then, a rustling sound came from outside the cave, as if something was moving through the grass. Everyone instantly became alert. Wu Dongzi quickly stood up, gathering spiritual energy in his hands. Zhu Xiang'er nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, Shi Linnan tightened his grip on the branch in his hand, and Shi Yuan held his breath, staring intently at the cave entrance.

The rustling sound grew closer, and suddenly, a large wild rabbit darted out of the burrow. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Dongzi shook his head with a wry smile, withdrew his spiritual energy, and sat down. After this ordeal, everyone's nerves were on edge. Although exhausted, they all knew that in this perilous Spirit Deer Illusion Forest, even a moment of peace could be the prelude to danger.

Inside the cave, the dim light flickered, illuminating the four exhausted faces. Wu Dongzi broke the silence first, his voice slightly hoarse from fatigue, yet carrying an undeniable resolve: "Don't push yourselves any further, let's rest here. I'm the oldest, I'll take the night watch. You all need to get some sleep and recharge; we have a tough battle to fight tomorrow." With that, he moved closer to the cave entrance, leaning against the cave wall and sitting down, his gaze fixed firmly on the darkness beyond.

Zhu Xiang'er looked reluctant and said softly, "Dongzi, you've been running around all day. How can your body take it? Why don't we take turns keeping watch so that everyone can get some rest?" Her eyes were full of concern, and her brows furrowed slightly as she worried about Wu Dongzi's health.

Wu Dongzi waved his hand, his expression leaving no room for argument: "Don't argue, I can handle it. The most important thing is for you all to get some rest. If anything happens tonight, I can deal with it immediately." His tone carried the care and responsibility of an elder brother, as if as long as he was there, he could definitely provide a safe haven for everyone.

Shi Linnan yawned widely, drowsiness washing over him like a tide. He forced his sleepy eyes open and said, "Dongzi, then I'll have to trouble you. We need to make the most of this time and get a good night's sleep; there might be even more dangers waiting for us tomorrow." With that, he leaned against the cave wall and soon began to breathe evenly.

Shi Yuan had been sitting quietly in the corner. At this moment, he slightly raised his head, his gaze meeting Wu Dongzi's, and nodded gently. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of trust and affirmation. He adjusted his posture, placed his hands on his knees, and entered a state of light sleep under alert, ready to wake up at the slightest disturbance.

Looking at his sleeping companions, Wu Dongzi's lips unconsciously curled into a relieved smile. He murmured to himself, "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you get hurt." With that, he gripped his staff tightly, his spiritual energy slowly circulating around him, his eyes warily fixed on the cave entrance, ready to face any unknown dangers.

On the other side, the Crimson Flame Rhinoceros, having just entered the Illusionary Forest, moved like a moving volcano, rampaging through the dense jungle. Its body was engulfed in raging flames, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air, instantly turning vegetation to ash in its wake, leaving only a charred trail.

This colossal beast was as large as a mountain. With each step it took, its thick limbs sank deep into the earth, causing the ground to tremble and emitting a dull thud, as if the earth itself was groaning under its unbearable weight. Its skin was rough and hard, like a thick layer of lava armor, with molten lava flowing from its cracks, emanating a chilling aura.

The Crimson Flame Rhinoceros's enormous head turned from side to side, its two lantern-like eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light, leaving no corner unchecked. Its extremely sharp single horn, reflected in the firelight, gleamed coldly, as if it could easily tear apart everything in the world.

At this moment, the demonic rhinoceros abruptly stopped, its enormous nostrils flaring rapidly like bellows, keenly detecting the faint scent in the air. It was the trace left by Zhu Xiang'er and the others! The demonic rhinoceros let out a deafening roar, a roar filled with excitement and brutality, which seemed to make the entire forest tremble.

Following the direction of the scent, it quickened its pace, each step kicking up clouds of dust. Trees around it were easily snapped by its massive body, the cracking sounds echoing everywhere. As it drew closer, the flames on the demonic rhinoceros burned ever brighter, as if gathering strength for the impending battle, determined to completely devour its target.
