At the critical moment, Shen Ying reacted quickly, chanting a spell rapidly. A transparent insulating spell unfolded in front of Eric, and electricity struck it, causing dazzling sparks to fly.

Then, she used a dispelling spell to neutralize the electric current.

Eric, still shaken, looked at Shen Ying with gratitude in his eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you, you're really amazing."

Shen Ying smiled and nodded at the other person, replying in her mind, "You're welcome. I'm just doing my job."

As they ventured deeper into the ruins, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and oppressive, as if the very air itself had been frozen by the aura of ancient magical creatures.

Suddenly, a group of magical creatures surged in from all directions. They were of various shapes and sizes, some with huge wings that stirred up gusts of foul wind as they flapped.

Some have claws as sharp as blades, leaving deep scratches on the ground; others spew green venom from their mouths, which drips onto the ground, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

Faced with the surging onslaught of magical creatures, Kaka's eyes sharpened, and with a wave of his wand, an ice-blue light barrier instantly unfolded in front of them, blocking their attack.

However, the magical creatures were too powerful. They crashed into the light barrier like a surging tide, and the enormous impact caused cracks to appear on the barrier.

Shen Ying's expression was solemn, and invisible magic surged from her body, quickly outlining a complex magic circle in the air.

As she waved her hands, the magic circles flew toward the magical creature.

But the creatures only swayed slightly before continuing their attack.

Eric and the elven woman quickly joined the battle.

Eric's wand shone brightly at the tip, and streaks of golden lightning shot out from it, striking precisely the magical creatures with sharp claws.

Each bolt of lightning was accompanied by the roar of a magical creature.

The elven woman waved her staff lightly, and green vines spread out from the surrounding walls, wrapping around the magical creatures that spewed venom.

However, when the venom dripped onto the vines, it made a sizzling, corrosive sound, and the vines quickly withered and became useless.

As they fought and retreated, they were gradually forced into a small space by the magical creatures.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Kaka's forehead as he increased his magic output to maintain the light barrier that was on the verge of shattering.

Shen Ying frowned deeply. She knew that things couldn't continue like this; she had to find a weakness in these magical creatures.

The battle intensified, with magical light and attacks from magical creatures intertwining into chaos.

While casting spells to counterattack, Shen Ying carefully observed these enemies of various shapes and sizes.

Just then, she noticed something strange about the magical creatures with huge wings.

When they attack, their movements are fierce, but the frequency and amplitude of their wing flapping will subtly change at certain moments, as if they are hiding something.

Finally, Shen Ying discovered a faint glowing point at the base of their wings, and the surrounding airflow seemed to generate special fluctuations around this point.

Moreover, they become extremely nervous when an attack approaches this area, adjusting their posture to protect it, clearly indicating that this luminous spot is extremely crucial.

"Attack the light spots at the base of their wings!" Shen Ying shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately changed their tactics.

Kaka retracted the light barrier and instead launched sharp ice spikes at the points of light.

Eric and the elven woman also joined the attack, and for a moment, the magical creatures were thrown into chaos.

As the magical creatures were struck in their weak points, they fell to the ground, and the surrounding air gradually resumed its flow, leaving only the mess and the pungent smell.

A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the surroundings, as if this place were a corner forgotten by the world.

We've been here for quite a while now, but why hasn't the villain Cassius shown up yet?

A look of confusion appeared on Shen Ying's face. She frowned slightly, and her eyes revealed unease.

Kaka noticed her mood, so he moved closer to Shen Ying and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

His gaze remained fixed on Shen Ying, filled with concern and a hint of nervousness.

Shen Ying looked up at Kaka, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing. There will probably be a lot of danger ahead, so be careful."

Kaka nodded, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly for a moment without him noticing, before quickly returning to normal.

He couldn't help but move closer to Shen Ying, close enough to feel her breath.

It was rare that she had forgotten to avoid him now, and a secret joy spread through her heart.

As we walked along the tunnel, before we knew it, we were enveloped in thick fog.

The fog seemed to have a life of its own, spreading rapidly and wrapping around them in wisps.

They all sensed something was wrong, and a nameless unease began to grow in their hearts.

Kaka summoned an illumination orb, but its light was quickly swallowed up in the thick fog, unable to penetrate the eerie mist.

Kaka frowned and gripped Shen Ying's hand tightly.

Shen Ying grasped Kaka's hand in return, her gaze searching for the other figures in the mist.

Eric and Lillian were not far away, but the thick fog made their figures appear and disappear.

Worried about getting lost from Eric and the others, Shen Ying reached out and took Lillian's hand, while loudly instructing Lillian to also hold Eric's hand.

"I understand," Lillian replied loudly, her voice tinged with panic.

Upon hearing the other party's response, Shen Ying felt a wave of dizziness. The world before her eyes seemed to suddenly spin, and in the midst of the swirling motion, she lost consciousness.

Inside the castle, it was quiet and warm all around.

Shen Ying slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Kaka's familiar and handsome face.

She was held in Kaka's arms, his embrace tight and secure, their posture very intimate.

Shen Ying felt as if a feather had gently brushed against her heart, and a tender emotion welled up inside her.

She turned slightly, looked at Kaka's trembling eyelashes, and couldn't help but gently kiss Kaka's lips.

That gentle kiss was like turning on some kind of sweet switch.

Kaka opened his beautiful blue eyes, which instantly filled with love. He hugged Shen Ying tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body, and deepened the kiss.

Their lips met, their breaths mingled, and in that moment, the world seemed to consist only of them. Warm, tender, and affectionate feelings spread through the kiss, like blooming flowers, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

The two were lost in the sweet kiss, as if the world had shrunk to just the two of them.

Their lips met, filled with endless tenderness and longing. After a long while, they slowly separated, their foreheads touching, their eyes brimming with love.

After parting, the two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with love that seemed to light up the entire castle.

Kaka gently stroked Shen Ying's nose and said tenderly, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat this morning?" Shen Ying's cheeks flushed, and she said, "Guess."
