Li Jin felt as if he had been thrown into a giant washing machine; the world spun around him, and his internal organs churned. He tried to open his eyes, but found his eyelids as heavy as lead, and all he could see was a chaotic darkness. A buzzing sound filled his ears, like countless mosquitoes flying around, or like the low roar of an ancient beast.

After an unknown amount of time, the nauseating spinning finally stopped. Li Jin collapsed to the ground, feeling as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart. He gasped for breath, his stomach churning, and he almost vomited.

"Holy crap... what is this thing..." Li Jin groaned, struggling to get up.

"Li Jin! Are you alright?" A worried voice rang in my ears.

Li Jin barely opened his eyes, and through his blurry vision, he saw Sophie looking at him with a worried expression.

“I…I’m still alive…” Li Jin smiled weakly, “It just feels…like I’ve been run over by a truck…”

"Thank goodness!" Sophie breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to help Li Jin up. "Where are Lao Wang and Xiao Mei?"

Li Jin looked around and found themselves in an unfamiliar environment. It resembled a giant cave, its ceiling soaring into the clouds, its end invisible. The cave walls were covered with strange symbols, emitting an eerie glow. A pungent smell of sulfur filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.

"Old Wang! Xiao Mei!" Li Jin shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I'm here!" Xiaomei's voice came from not far away.

Li Jin looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Mei and Lao Wang leaning against a huge rock, while Xiao Bai huddled in Xiao Mei's arms, trembling all over.

"Are you all alright?" Li Jin asked.

"It's alright..." Xiaomei's face was pale, "It's just a little nauseous..."

Old Wang stroked his beard, his expression grave as he surveyed his surroundings. "It seems we've been taken to an unknown place by that black mist..."

"What kind of place is this?" Li Jin complained. "It feels even more eerie than that temple we just visited..."

“This place…” Old Wang paused, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes, “The aura here… is very similar to the legendary… Abyss of Demons…”

"The Abyss of Demons?!" Li Jin and Xiao Mei exclaimed in unison.

The Abyss of Demons, in the legends of another world, is a forbidden land imprisoning ancient demons, filled with evil power and terrifying creatures. It is said that anyone who enters the Abyss of Demons will have their soul devoured, never to be reincarnated.

"No way..." Li Jin swallowed hard. "How did we end up in a place like this..."

"It seems that the black aura is not merely the resentment of an ancient evil god..." Old Wang said in a deep voice, "It may... already possess the power to open the Abyss of Demons..."

"What do we do now?" Xiaomei hugged Xiaobai tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Let's figure out how to get out of here first," Li Jinqiang said calmly. "We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

“But…” Xiaomei looked around, “There’s black mist everywhere, we can’t find a way out at all…”

Just then, Xiaobai suddenly jumped out of Xiaomei's arms and ran in one direction.

"Xiaobai!" Xiaomei exclaimed and quickly chased after him.

"Wait!" Li Jin and Lao Wang quickly followed.

Xiao Bai ran very fast, navigating the rugged mountain caves with ease. Li Jin and the others followed closely behind, not daring to slacken their efforts in the slightest.

After running for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared ahead.

"There's light!" Xiaomei shouted excitedly.

The group quickened their pace and ran towards the light.

When they burst out of the cave, a bright and open space opened up before them.

However, the scene before them stunned them.

They did not return to the previous temple, nor did they see the familiar forest and river.

What unfolded before them was a completely unfamiliar world.

The sky was blood red, the earth was black, and not a blade of grass grew. The air was thick with the pungent stench of blood, enough to make one nauseous.

In the distance, a massive black castle stood on the barren plain. At the top of the castle, a huge black vortex slowly rotated, like a giant eye watching them.

"Where...where is this..." Li Jin muttered to himself, feeling his worldview crumbling.

"Welcome to...my world..." A cold voice suddenly rang in their ears.

The voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with evil and mockery.

Li Jin and the others turned around abruptly, only to see a figure dressed in a long black robe standing behind them.

The figure slowly raised its head, revealing a pale and distorted face.

"Lin Na?!" Li Jin exclaimed in surprise.

Standing before them was the dark witch they had been searching for—Linna!

However, Linna at this moment was completely different from the one they had seen before.

Her eyes turned crimson, filled with madness and murderous intent. She emanated a suffocating aura of darkness, as if she came from the depths of hell.

"You...you're not Lin Na..." Li Jin said, trembling. "Who...are you?"

A strange smile appeared on Linna's lips. "I am Linna... and also... the Lord of the Abyss..."
