Xiaohong held the hand of the man in white tightly, and the temperature in his palm came from the fingertips, which made her feel a little relieved.

Luo Xiaoyu looked around from time to time, with an excited light flashing in her eyes, as if a thrilling adventure was about to begin.

The road to the castle is rugged and difficult to walk, with rocks and thorns everywhere.

Everyone walked deep and shallowly, their clothes were wet with dew, and the chill penetrated into their skin.

Li Liehuo walked at the front of the team with a hunting knife in his hand, overcoming obstacles and setting out a barely accessible road.

His rough face was covered with sweat, but he didn't say a word, just kept his head forward.

"Aowu--" A deafening beast roar cut through the tranquility of the morning and broke the originally dull marching of everyone.

From the depths of the dense forest, a group of wild beasts slowly walked out, their eyes flashing green in the dim light, like ghost fire, making people shudder.

The beast was huge, with rough hair, exposed fangs, and let out a low roar, approaching everyone step by step.

"Ah--" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed and subconsciously hid behind Grandma Lin.

The sudden wild beasts made everyone panic and their steps became messy.

Doctor Zhang staggered, the medicine box fell to the ground, and the medicinal materials inside were scattered all over the ground. He exclaimed with pain: "My medicine!"

The man in white suddenly protected Xiaohong behind him, pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed the sword straight at the beast, and shouted loudly: "Beast, don't be rampant!" He was agile and rushed towards the beast like a cheetah. The sword light flashed and he fought fiercely with the beast.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the roar of wild beasts and the angry shouts of men in white intertwined, forming a tense and exciting battle symphony.

"Be careful!" Xiaohong exclaimed, and saw a wild beast wandering behind the man in white, waving his sharp claws, and grabbing him in the back.

The man in white couldn't dodge, and his clothes were cut by the beast's sharp claws, and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red...

"You are injured!" Xiaohong exclaimed.

The man in white looked pale, covered his wound, and tried to calm down, "It's okay..."

The wild beasts' offensive became more and more fierce. Although the man in white was very skilled in martial arts, he was outnumbered and had a few scars on his body.

Blood soaked her clothes, white clothes were better than snow, but now she was stained with a shocking red color.

His movements were obviously slow, his breathing became heavy, and his hands holding the sword were trembling slightly.

Xiaohong's heart was tangled, her eyes were red, but she could only watch him fight bloodyly, but she could do nothing.

Fear and worry lingered her like a vine, leaving her almost unable to breathe.

The people around him gradually became timid, and their original fighting spirit was gradually worn out by the ferocity of the wild beasts, and their steps began to retreat.

Just as everyone was about to despair, Grandma Lin, who had been silent, suddenly rushed forward, took out a handful of dry herbs from her arms, lit them, and threw them at the group of wild animals.

The pungent smell spread instantly, and the beasts let out painful roars, retreating one after another, not daring to get close.

Everyone looked at Grandma Lin in surprise, but they didn't expect that this timid and fearful old man had such a strange trick.

"Children, don't be afraid!" Although Grandma Lin's voice trembled, she was unexpectedly firm. "We have a chance to do this herb!" Her words were like a bright lamp in the dark, igniting the hope that was about to be extinguished in everyone's hearts.

"Yes, we can't give up!" Luo Xiaoyu held the dagger in her hand tightly, and her eyes became firmer.

Inspired by Grandma Lin, everyone cheered up again, looked for weapons, and prepared to fight the beast to the death.

Doctor Zhang reinstalled the medicinal materials scattered all over the floor back into the medicine box, and his eyes were filled with a sturdy light.

Li Hunter waved his hunting knife and let out a shocking roar.

Blacksmith Zhao even wrestled with a wild beast with bare hands...

Just then, a melodious sound of flute came from afar...

The sound of the flute is melodious, floating like the spring breeze blowing on the willows, dispelling the blood and fear in the air and bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.

Elder Chen narrowed his wise eyes, listened for a moment, and suddenly realized it, and he stroked his palm and said, "This is the sound of driving away beasts! These wild beasts are afraid of this sound!" He pointed to the dense forest in the distance and whispered loudly: "Be careful, these wild beasts must be driven by people. Let's fight and retreat, don't fight in love!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao blacksmith swung the newly made iron hammer in his hand and slammed it hard at the head of a beast. The beast wailed and fell to the ground with a bang.

His special potion was quenched on the hammer, which had a strong paralysis effect on wild animals.

Luo Xiaoyu waved the dagger, and his body was flexible. Every time he made a move, he accurately stabbed the beast's weakness. With Li Huneng's hunting knife, the beasts began to retreat step by step.

Everyone was very angry and worked together to beat the beasts to the point of falling.

In the air, the howling of wild beasts, the roars of everyone, and the collision of weapons were intertwined to form an exciting song of triumph.

The beasts fell to the ground one after another, and the smell of blood was filled with the air, but at this moment it made people feel extremely happy.

Everyone was proud and looked at the corpses of wild beasts everywhere, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Cheers and celebrations come one after another, resounding throughout the mountains and forests.

Xiaohong ran to the man in white with pain and carefully bandaged his wound.

She gently brushed past his blood-stained collar, the corners of the man in white raised his mouth slightly, holding Xiaohong's hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

Luo Xiaoyu and everyone supported each other, their faces filled with the joy of victory. They experienced life and death, and their friendship became stronger.

This battle made the relationship between everyone deeper. They are no longer simple neighbors, but comrades who can entrust their lives.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Master Lingyin slowly walked to everyone, with a hint of solemnity of compassion: "Everyone, I see that the evil spirit here is very strong, and I am afraid that the front is unpredictable. Remember, don't be careless."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in white suddenly raised his head, looked like a torch, and whispered: "Someone is coming..." Everyone's hearts trembled, holding their breath, waiting for the unknown arrival.

The mist gradually dissipated, the morning light was dimming, and everyone rested for a while and embarked on the journey again.

Liehuo, holding a hunting knife, walked in front of the road, and Luo Xiaoyu followed closely behind, looking at the surrounding environment curiously from time to time.

Doctor Zhang carefully protected the medicine box, for fear of encountering an accident again and scattering precious medicinal materials.

The man in white protected Xiaohong behind him and glanced around with vigilance, like a lion protecting his cub.

The closer you get to the castle, the more rugged the road becomes, with rocks and thorns piled up, and you will step on the air if you are not careful.

Everyone moved forward carefully, and every step was like walking on thin ice, afraid of touching the hidden trap of mechanism.

Suddenly, with a "swoosh--" sound, several sharp arrows broke through the air and headed straight for everyone.

Li Lieun reacted very quickly, raised his hunting knife to block the sharp arrow, making a "clang" sound of metal collision.

Everyone exclaimed, dodging one after another, arrows were nailed deep into the stone, and the tail feathers were still trembling slightly.

Doctor Zhang held his forehead and sweated coldly: "My God, there are so many traps placed around this castle!"

Master Lingyin walked to the entrance of the castle, slowly closed his eyes, and felt the breath around him. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, but even so, the temptation of the treasure made everyone's hearts full of expectations.

Everyone adjusted their mindset and approached the castle carefully, glanced at every detail of the castle, hoping to find a way to enter.

The castle has a towering exterior wall and a smooth surface, with no place to climb, and no doors and windows to open.

Everyone could only search along the castle exterior wall and search carefully, hoping to find a trace of clue.

Blacksmith Zhao hit the wall with an iron hammer, making a dull sound, as if he wanted to find the weakness of the wall, but he gained nothing.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a gloomy laughter came from the inside of the castle. The laughter was sharp and harsh, like a sharp blade, piercing into everyone's eardrums, making people shudder.

After the laughter, the surroundings became quieter, and only the sound of the wind was sobbing, making people feel even more uneasy, as if there was some terrifying existence, waiting for their arrival in the depths of the castle.
