Ling Xiao stood in front of the entrance to the underground cave, took a deep breath, and slowly stepped into the darkness.

The cavern was dark and damp, filled with a putrid stench, as if danger lurked in every inch of space. He raised the magic lamp in his hand, its faint light illuminating the path ahead.

The walls were covered with vines and moss, and occasionally strange runes could be seen flickering with a faint light. Ling Xiao moved forward cautiously, his footsteps echoing clearly in the empty cavern.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead, as if it were a warning from the depths of hell.

Ling Xiao gripped his longsword tightly, cautiously observing his surroundings.

His heart was racing, but his eyes shone with unwavering determination. He knew the real challenge was just beginning.

In the darkness, a blurry figure gradually appeared. It was a huge wolf-like monster, its eyes flashing with a blood-red light, like two burning flames.

The monster's fur was covered in blood, and its sharp claws slashed across the ground with a piercing sound. Ling Xiao held his breath; he could feel the monster's murderous aura.

This monster was clearly no ordinary beast; it exuded an eerie aura. Ling Xiao knew this was a battle to the death.

The monster let out a roar that shook the walls of the cave. Suddenly, its body accelerated, charging towards Lingxiao like a red lightning bolt.

Ling Xiao reacted quickly, brandishing his longsword in an attempt to block the monster's attack. The sword clashed with the monster's claws, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Ling Xiao felt a tremendous force impacting his arm, and his body was shaken back a few steps.

The monster's strength far exceeded his expectations, but Ling Xiao did not back down. He quickly adjusted his posture and used the "Whirling Slash" technique from his swordsmanship to deflect the monster's attack to the side.

The monster's claws carved a deep gash in the ground, but it didn't stop. It roared again, leaping into the air and pouncing towards Lingxiao.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't fight head-on. He quickly used "Shadow Escape Technique," his body transforming into a blurry shadow as he swiftly moved behind the monster.

The monster's attack missed, and it turned around angrily, its eyes flashing with even more ferocity. Ling Xiao did not hesitate; he swung his longsword and attacked the monster's back.

The blade pierced the monster's fur with a muffled thud. The monster let out a painful roar, its body shuddering violently, but it did not fall.

A deep gash was slashed across the monster's back, and blood gushed out continuously. But it did not back down; instead, it became even more enraged.

It roared again, its voice carrying an eerie magic.

"Roar of Blood!" The monster's roar contained immense power, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by the shock.

Ling Xiao felt an invisible force impacting his body, and his health points were constantly decreasing. He knew that this was a monster's special skill.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't let the monster's roar overwhelm him.

He quickly activated "Wind Shield," and a layer of pale blue light shimmered around his body.

This shield provided him with an extra layer of protection, mitigating the damage from the monster's roar. The monster's roar continued, but Ling Xiao had regained his footing.

He used "Shadow Cloak" to move behind the monster again and then unleashed "Flame Slash".

The blade was engulfed in flames, and it thrust towards the monster with powerful fire energy.

"Aow!" The monster roared in pain again, its back burned by flames, the wounds becoming even more severe.

But it still didn't fall; instead, it became even more frenzied. It leaped up again and pounced on Lingxiao.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't let the monster's attacks hold him back. He quickly used "Frost Ring," and the surrounding air instantly turned icy cold, with a thin layer of frost covering the monster's body.

The monster's movements slowed instantly; its claws struggled in the frost, but were no longer as agile as before. Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and unleashed "Flame Slash" again, the flames on the blade piercing the monster's body once more.

The monster's health was steadily decreasing, and its movements were becoming increasingly sluggish. Finally, the monster let out a mournful roar, and its body crashed heavily to the ground.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had won the battle. He had looted some materials and gold coins from the monster's corpse—the spoils of his adventure.

But Ling Xiao knew that this was only the first battle in the underground cave, and the real danger was yet to come.

Ling Xiao continued deeper into the cave, discovering that the monsters here were becoming increasingly powerful. He proceeded cautiously, each step filled with vigilance.

Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, like some kind of creature groaning in pain.

He slowly approached the source of the sound and discovered a huge cave. In the center of the cave was an altar emitting an eerie light, with strange runes and offerings placed on it.

Around the altar, a giant spider was slowly awakening. This spider had eight sharp legs and its body was covered with a hard exoskeleton.

Its eyes gleamed with a cold light, as if they could see through everything. Ling Xiao knew that this was a powerful monster, and he had to be careful.

The spider moved its body slowly, its legs making a screeching sound as they scraped against the ground.

Ling Xiao gripped his longsword tightly, knowing that the battle was about to begin.

The spider suddenly launched an attack, its eight legs moving swiftly as it lunged at Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao reacted quickly, using "Shadow Escape Technique," his body transforming into a blurry shadow as he rapidly moved behind the spider.

The spider's attack missed, and it turned around angrily, its eyes flashing with an even colder light. Ling Xiao did not hesitate; he swung his longsword and attacked the spider's back.

The sword pierced the spider's exoskeleton with a crisp sound. The spider's exoskeleton was extremely hard, and Ling Xiao's attack did not cause much damage.

But it still felt pain. It let out an angry screech and slammed its body backward, sending Ling Xiao flying. Ling Xiao's body tumbled in the air, and he quickly used "Wind Shield" to reduce the impact of the landing.

Although he felt some pain, he was not injured. He immediately stood up and faced the spider again. The spider attacked again, its eight legs moving swiftly as it pounced on Lingxiao.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't let the spider's attacks hold him back. He quickly used "Frost Ring," and the surrounding air instantly turned icy cold, with a thin layer of frost covering the spider's body.

The spider's movements instantly slowed; its legs struggled in the frost, but were no longer as agile as before. Ling Xiao seized the opportunity and unleashed "Flame Slash" again, the flames on the blade piercing the spider's body once more.

The spider let out a painful hiss as its body was burned by the flames, making the wounds even more severe. But it did not fall; instead, it became even more frenzied.

It launched another attack, but its movements were now restricted by the frost.

Ling Xiao used "Shadow Cloak" to move behind the spider again and then launched "Flame Slash". The flames on the blade pierced the spider's body once more, and the spider's health points continued to decrease.

Finally, the spider let out a mournful hiss and its body fell heavily to the ground.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had won the battle.

Ling Xiao had been exploring the underground cave for a long time, his footsteps echoing in the damp and dim passage.

Every step felt incredibly heavy, as if the cursed land was trying to stop him. Yet, Ling Xiao's resolve never wavered. His goal was to uncover the secrets hidden deep within the cavern, even if endless dangers awaited him.

After a series of arduous battles and numerous traps, Ling Xiao finally arrived at the depths of the underground cave.

Here, the passage narrowed further, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air. He raised the magic lamp in his hand, its faint light barely illuminating the path ahead.

At the end of the light, a massive stone gate suddenly appeared before them. The gate was covered with ancient runes, which emitted a faint glow, as if telling ancient secrets.

The latest novel is first published here!

However, guarding the stone gate was a huge tiger-like monster.

This monster was enormous, several times larger than an ordinary tiger, and its fur was an eerie dark red, as if it had been stained with blood.

Its eyes gleamed with a cold and fierce light, as if they could see through everything.

The monster's limbs were strong and powerful, and its sharp claws carved marks into the ground with a piercing sound. Ling Xiao stopped in his tracks; he could sense the powerful aura emanating from the monster.

He knew this was a life-or-death battle, and the outcome would determine whether he could enter the world beyond the stone gate.

The monster seemed to sense Ling Xiao's presence and let out a deafening roar.

The roar echoed through the cave like thunder, making Lingxiao's eardrums buzz.

The monster's roar contained immense power, seemingly capable of tearing everything apart. Ling Xiao gripped his longsword tightly, his heart pounding, but his eyes gleamed with unwavering resolve. He knew he could not back down.

He quickly adjusted his posture, preparing for the impending battle. The monster roared again, its body suddenly accelerating as it charged towards Lingxiao like a red lightning bolt.

Ling Xiao reacted quickly, brandishing his longsword in an attempt to block the monster's attack.

However, the monster's strength far exceeded his expectations. The longsword clashed with the monster's claws, producing a crisp metallic clang. Ling Xiao felt a tremendous force impact his arm, and his body was jolted back several steps.

The monster did not stop; its attacks came one after another like a storm.

Ling Xiao knew he couldn't fight head-on. He quickly used "Shadow Escape Technique," his body transforming into a blurry shadow as he swiftly moved behind the monster.

The monster's attack missed, and it turned around angrily, its eyes flashing with an even more ferocious light.

Without hesitation, Ling Xiao swung his longsword and attacked the monster's back. The blade pierced the monster's fur with a muffled thud. The monster let out a painful roar, its body trembling violently, but it did not fall.

A deep gash was slashed across the monster's back, and blood gushed out continuously. But it did not back down; instead, it became even more frenzied.

The monster roared again, its voice containing immense power. Ling Xiao felt an invisible force impacting his body, and his health points were steadily decreasing.

He knew this was the monster's special skill—"Tiger's Roar Shakes the Heavens." Ling Xiao gritted his teeth; he knew he couldn't be suppressed by the monster's roar.

He swiftly activated "Wind Shield," a pale blue light shimmering around his body. This shield provided him with an extra layer of protection, mitigating the damage from the monster's roar. The monster's roar continued, but Ling Xiao had regained his footing.

He used "Shadow Cloak" to move behind the monster again and then unleashed "Flame Slash".

He raised the magic lamp in his hand, its faint light illuminating the runes on the stone door. These runes emitted a soft glow, as if telling ancient secrets.

Ling Xiao reached out and gently touched the runes on the stone gate. Suddenly, the runes emitted a dazzling light, containing immense power.

Ling Xiao felt an invisible force surge into his body, causing him to tremble slightly. He knew this was the opening ceremony of the stone gate. The light gradually faded, and the stone gate slowly opened. An ancient and mysterious aura emanated from behind the stone gate, as if welcoming Ling Xiao's arrival.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the world behind the stone door. The space behind the stone door was more spacious than the cave outside, and a mysterious atmosphere permeated the air.

In the center of the room was a huge crystal ball, which emitted a dazzling light.

Strange offerings were placed around the crystal ball, emitting a faint glow as if whispering ancient secrets. Ling Xiao slowly walked towards the crystal ball, his footsteps echoing in the room.
