The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 347 Untitled Draft 5

The group hurried inside, only to find a huge void at the end of the passage, spanned by a rickety suspension bridge. Just as they were about to step onto the bridge, it suddenly began to shake violently, and a swarm of strange magical creatures surged out from all sides, attacking them. The group immediately formed a battle formation and engaged the magical creatures in a fierce battle. Through their combined efforts, they finally repelled the creatures. With only a few minutes left in the half-hour window, the group quickly crossed the bridge. A flash of light appeared ahead, and they had successfully exited the maze. The secret treasure lay before them, gleaming with a mysterious light.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Xiao Hui, an expert in runes, stepped forward. After careful study, she deciphered the runes, and the stone door slowly opened. However, as the group calmly stepped inside, they were shocked to find that the end of the passage was a huge void, with only a rickety suspension bridge spanning it. Just as they were about to step onto the bridge, it suddenly began to shake violently, and a swarm of strange magical creatures emerged from all directions, launching a fierce attack. The group immediately formed a battle formation and engaged in a thrilling battle with the magical creatures. Through their concerted efforts, they finally repelled the magical creatures. At this moment, only a few minutes remained of the half-hour period. The group hurriedly crossed the suspension bridge, and a flash of light appeared ahead. They had successfully exited the maze, and the secret treasure radiated a mysterious glow before their eyes.

Just as everyone excitedly prepared to retrieve the treasure, it suddenly emitted a brilliant light, within which appeared a gigantic phantom. The phantom spoke, "To take this treasure, you must pass the final test." With these words, the phantom, like a ghost, lightly flicked its sleeve, and in an instant, the surrounding environment was magically transformed. The previously peaceful space was suddenly replaced by a raging sea of ​​fire, the flames like a ferocious beast, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the group, seemingly intent on devouring them completely.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, a wave of panic washed over everyone. However, they quickly realized that fear would not solve the problem; only by remaining calm could they find a glimmer of hope. Therefore, they swiftly adjusted their mindset, calmly observing their surroundings and searching for a solution.

Just then, Kobayashi, skilled in water magic, revealed his power. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals like butterflies flitting among flowers, while he chanted incantations. With each incantation, a huge water sphere appeared in his hand, like a blue gem. Without hesitation, Kobayashi hurled the water sphere at the flames. With a loud "bang," the water sphere collided with the flames, splashing water everywhere.

However, the flames were far too fierce. Although the water sphere temporarily suppressed the fire, it was quickly evaporated. As the fire grew larger, everyone's situation became increasingly dangerous.

At this critical moment, Xiao Feng, who possessed wind-elemental abilities, stepped forward. He took a deep breath and then exhaled sharply, instantly unleashing a powerful gust of wind. Xiao Feng skillfully used the wind to disperse the flames, creating a path. Seeing this, everyone followed this path, struggling to approach the treasure.

With everyone's combined efforts, they finally broke through the sea of ​​fire. Phantom stood aside, watching everyone's performance, a satisfied smile on his face. With a slight nod, the dazzling light gradually dissipated, and the mysterious treasure landed steadily in everyone's hands.

Filled with joy and satisfaction, the group embarked on their journey home, eager to bring this treasure back to their world.

However, just when everyone thought everything was over, a new challenge quietly descended. Before them stood a massive stone gate, its surface covered in intricate runes, making it impossible to proceed.
