At this moment, led by Su Ting, the crowd no longer hesitated and immediately launched an attack. Everyone used all their skills, wielding their weapons to strike at the enemy. Even those who were initially timid and hesitant to step forward were inspired by this atmosphere, each one eager to contribute their share.

"Come on, everyone! We can win!" Zhao San shouted encouragement to his companions as he joined the battle, brandishing a wooden longsword. "That's right, brothers and sisters! For the safety of the village, let's fight!" Wang Er echoed.

But at that moment, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out. Everyone looked closely and saw that the trapped figure was shrinking at a visible speed—as if due to some kind of backlash, it was gradually becoming the size of an ordinary human!

This change surprised and confused everyone. Zhao San stopped his attack, frowned, and asked, "Wait, why has this guy become so small? Is it feigning death or some new skill?"

Just as everyone paused, filled with doubt, the shrunken figure suddenly opened its eyes and revealed a cold smile: "Hmph, foolish humans, did you really think I would be defeated so easily? Behold my ultimate move!"

In the blink of an eye, an incredibly powerful energy surge erupted from the opponent's body, transforming him into a streak of light as he charged toward the nearest warrior...

The sudden turn of events threw the scene into chaos. Seeing the situation was dire, Su Ting quickly made a judgment: "Retreat! Don't give them a chance to concentrate their firepower on us!"

Upon hearing the command, the team members scattered in different directions, attempting to readjust their formation for a counterattack. During this process, the boy using runic magic once again drew everyone's attention—his eyes were closed, as if he were sensing something. Suddenly, a determined light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Don't be afraid! There's one last way to stop it! It just needs a little time, so please protect me!"

Upon hearing this, several brave individuals immediately stepped forward to protect the boy, forming a solid human wall to block any potential attack. At the same time, many others anxiously asked, "What exactly is the plan? Will it work?"

The boy didn't answer immediately, but continued to focus on his ritual. More complex patterns gradually appeared in the air, and an inexplicable power slowly gathered…

"Regardless of the outcome, we have demonstrated extraordinary courage and wisdom today," Li Yong said, clenching his fist. "I believe that as long as we are united, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Just as everyone held their breath, awaiting the final moment, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with a dazzling light. "It's here! The final blow... now it's up to you all!" As his words fell, an enormous runic halo enveloped the entire space, as if even light itself was being absorbed into this mysterious energy...

A tense yet expectant atmosphere filled the air. The enormous runic halo resembled a star about to explode, causing everyone to hold their breath. Su Ting's gaze was resolute; his hands trembled slightly but remained clenched tightly against his chest, as if he were taking the final, crucial step.

Meanwhile, the once arrogant being had transformed into a streak of light, frantically trying to break through the barrier set up by the boy. "Damn it, how can there be such power!" Its voice was filled with resentment and anger, but it was helplessly fixed in one point and unable to move.

The villagers who had gathered around were all amazed by what they saw. "Wow, this halo is amazing! It's like it's sucking the air in!"

"This young man is extraordinary! He possesses such powerful magic at such a young age," an old man exclaimed, stroking his white beard, his eyes filled with admiration.

At this moment, Zhao San brandished his wooden sword and stood at the front line: "Everyone, don't let your guard down, protect that boy, he is our only hope now!"

"Well said!" Wang Er echoed from the side, his gaze fixed firmly on the enemy ahead. "We must protect this light no matter what!"

Suddenly, the entire cave began to tremble slightly, and the energy fluctuations intensified, with a whistling sound clearly audible in the air. Everyone knew the decisive moment had arrived, and they huddled together even closer, preparing to face the challenges to come.

At that moment, out of everyone's sight, a voice softly rang out, "Such a grand scene... it's been a long time since I've felt this way."

The speaker was Li Yong, his eyes never leaving the center of the battle. "Our village has truly encountered a benefactor this time. Who knows how many more extraordinary adventures await us in the future?" The honest man's tone revealed a deep sense of emotion.

Finally, after a deafening roar, the dazzling rune completed its mission—a powerful shockwave swept away all the shadows within the cave. When the dust settled, people were astonished to find that the once mighty entity had completely vanished, leaving only a silent, faintly glowing ground as proof of its existence.

"Did it work? Was it really wiped out?!" A young villager jumped up and shouted excitedly, and the crowd around him erupted in cheers.

However, Su Ting's expression remained serious. "Don't be too happy yet. First, check if there are any other dangers around."

Upon hearing this, everyone gradually quieted down and cautiously checked their surroundings. Only after confirming that everything was alright did they finally relax.

Just when everyone thought it was all over, they suddenly heard a few faint footsteps in the distance. Then a familiar figure appeared—it was Ahua, the villager who had fled earlier!

He ran up to the group, panting heavily, and said urgently, "It's terrible, everyone! There's been an attack by some unknown creature at the village entrance... We need backup!"

These words caused another wave of panic among everyone present, but after the fierce battle just now, everyone was clearly more confident in dealing with new difficulties.

"No problem!" Zhao San laughed heartily, patting his chest to assure everyone, "As long as we work together, there's no problem we can't solve!"

“That’s right, let’s go together!” Wang Er quickly followed suit, expressing his support. “For the safety of our hometown, let’s fight!”

Looking at these spirited figures, Su Ting couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Let's go, friends, there's still a tough battle ahead... but please believe in the strength in your hands."

As Su Ting finished speaking, everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled. They knew that even if there were many difficulties ahead, as long as they were united, nothing was insurmountable.

As the villagers prepared to head to the village entrance to provide support, several curious children squeezed to the front. One little girl tugged at Zhao San's clothes and asked, "Uncle, what is that big halo? Can it really defeat those monsters?"

Zhao San bent down, smiled, and gently patted the little girl's head, explaining softly, "That's called a runic halo. Brother Su created it with special power. It's incredibly powerful; we only managed to drive the monster away because of it!"

Li Yong, who was standing nearby, also came over and joined the conversation. "That's right, little friend. There are many miracles in this world. Sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of faith and courage to change everything. And in our little village, we actually have such a hero!" His eyes were full of admiration and pride as he looked at Su Ting.

Su Ting smiled slightly, patted his chest, and encouraged everyone, saying, "My strength alone is limited. The most important thing is everyone's unity and support. As long as we work together, there is no battle we cannot win."

After saying this, he led the way at the head of the group. Along the way, many villagers who had been frightened away but had returned joined the makeshift rescue team after hearing what had just happened. Some brought food and water as supplies, while many others carried various tools or weapons, hoping to play a role in the battle.

"Oh my, I never expected Brother Su to be such a great hero!" A woman passing by exclaimed, and handed a cup of hot tea to an elderly man nearby. "Here, have something to warm up. You still have to continue fighting later."

The old man took the cup, nodded gratefully, and then shouted loudly towards Su Ting, "Young man, keep it up! The whole village believes you can lead us to victory over all enemies!"

By this time, the group was nearing the village entrance, and strange cries and sounds of fighting could be heard coming from ahead. Su Ting stopped and turned to face his companions, solemnly saying, "Listen, everyone, this enemy may be even more cunning and powerful than last time, so please be careful and don't underestimate them. But at the same time, don't forget that each of us is their strongest support!"

A round of applause erupted from the crowd in agreement, and Wang Er gripped the wooden stick in his hand tightly, excitedly replying, "Understood, boss! We must protect everyone no matter what!"

And so, with encouraging glances exchanged, the entire team finally stepped forward into the perilous direction...

Just then, a voice broke the temporary silence: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone turned to look, and saw a dusty, panicked man running towards them. It was A-Qiang, the village's renowned explorer. "Brother Su... please listen to me! I just came down from the mountain and discovered a very suspicious place—it's teeming with unidentified creatures, and they're probably the mastermind behind this attack! If we don't eliminate the source quickly..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, but no one showed fear or wanted to back down. On the contrary, a determined and eager light for victory ignited in everyone's eyes.

Su Ting frowned, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. "Qiang, where is this suspicious place you mentioned? Can we find it?"

“It’s deep in a dense forest not far north of the village, there’s an abandoned old mine. I saw those creatures coming out of there, and they seemed to be waiting for some kind of command,” Ah Qiang said, panting heavily.

“Okay, I understand. Everyone, follow me!” Su Ting said firmly, turning to look at the crowd behind him. “Fellow villagers, now we not only have to face the enemy in front of us, but also destroy their lair. This is a greater challenge, but we must do it.”

A slight murmur arose from the crowd, but it quickly turned into firm support. "No problem, we'll go with you!" Zhao San shouted, waving the wooden stick in his hand.

“That’s right, we believe you!” a villager responded excitedly.

The group quickly changed direction and headed towards the mine Ah Qiang had mentioned. They passed through dense forest, the roars of monsters echoing in their ears, a tense atmosphere filling the air. Su Ting and several brave villagers led the way, weapons gripped tightly, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Suddenly, several enormous monsters appeared ahead, baring their fangs and claws as they charged towards the group. Su Ting roared, and the runic aura around him instantly blazed, illuminating the surrounding darkness. The monsters let out painful howls and collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again.

"That's amazing!" a little boy exclaimed, his eyes shining with admiration.

"Yes, Brother Su is a true hero!" another villager exclaimed excitedly.

"Don't let your guard down, there are still more enemies waiting for us!" Su Ting said in a deep voice.

The group continued their advance, encountering new enemies along the way, each time Su Ting managed to escape danger thanks to his runic aura. The villagers gradually adapted to this type of combat, and their teamwork became increasingly seamless.

Finally, they arrived at the abandoned mine entrance. The mine was dark and damp, with faint, low roars emanating from within. Su Ting gestured for everyone to rest for a moment, then he entered the mine alone.

The mine was dark and eerie inside, and Su Ting proceeded cautiously. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, like something whispering. He stopped and listened intently.

"Who are you?" Su Ting asked sharply.

At that moment, a voice came from the darkness: "I am the guardian of this mine, and the master of these monsters. Your arrival is truly astonishing, but you cannot defeat me!"

Su Ting frowned and immediately activated the runic aura, illuminating the entire mine. A man dressed in a black robe, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light, appeared before him. Countless monsters gathered around him, their eyes also gleaming in the darkness.

"You're the mastermind behind all of this?!" Su Ting roared.

The man in black sneered, "That's right, it's me. You are nothing but ants, utterly incapable of stopping me from ruling this land."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black waved his staff, and a powerful force erupted from his body. Su Ting felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, but he did not back down. The runic aura shone brightly once more, forcefully resisting that power.

"Brother Su, are you alright?" Zhao San and the others rushed into the mine and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Be careful, this is going to be a tough battle," Su Ting said in a deep voice.

"We'll protect ourselves, and we'll protect you, brothers!" Li Yong shouted, raising his weapon.

"Go for it, Brother Su!" A little girl's innocent voice came from behind, filled with determination.

"Don't worry, young lady, we will definitely not let you down!" Su Ting replied firmly.

"Heh heh, you guys are really confident. Let's see how long you can last!" the man in black laughed wildly, and then launched another attack.

Su Ting and the villagers reacted quickly, and an even fiercer battle unfolded inside the mine. At this moment, they were no longer small groups fighting independently, but closely linked warriors who were determined to defend each other to the death.

The battle reached its climax, with the duel between Su Ting and the man in black being particularly thrilling. The air in the mine seemed to be ignited by the fierce fighting; everyone was giving it their all, fighting with their last ounce of strength.

"Brother Su, look! That man in black's shield is about to be broken!" Zhao San exclaimed in surprise.

"Give it your all, brothers! Victory is within reach!" Su Ting encouraged the crowd, and the power of the rune aura reached its peak under his command.

However, just as they were about to achieve victory, the man in black suddenly revealed a cunning smile. "You think you can defeat me like this? Wrong. The real test has only just begun..." His words were filled with an eerie atmosphere.
