The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Passing through the mysterious portal, everyone felt a flash of light before their eyes, followed by a dizzying spin, before finding themselves in a strange, alien dimension. The sky here was a brilliant purple-pink, as if painted with the most intense colors. Thick clouds, like gigantic hues, glowed faintly. As they slowly flowed, they collided and merged, occasionally erupting in dazzling bursts of light, as if a silent battle was taking place deep within the clouds.

The ground beneath my feet was a barren, scorched earth. From its cracked, dry crevices, acrid smoke occasionally erupted. Curls of smoke rose, twisting and swirling through the air, transforming into all sorts of bizarre shapes, like hideous demons or souls struggling in agony. In the distance, rolling mountain ranges took on an eerie, dark blue hue. Their peaks, crammed with jagged rocks, pierced the sky like ferocious claws reaching out from the earth, attempting to tear apart the brilliant yet oppressive sky.

Xu Tiancai looked around warily, the power of the stars slowly coursing through his body. He could sense a powerful, unfamiliar energy wave permeating the space. It seemed to be watching them, sending a slight chill down his spine. "Everyone, be careful! There's something strange going on here. Don't disperse easily," Xu Tiancai whispered, a hint of solemnity in his voice.

Ah Gang tightened his grip on his newly acquired battle axe, his eternal fighting spirit dancing and flickering across the blade. His massive frame crouched slightly, like a tiger poised to pounce, ready for battle at any moment. "Genius, I keep feeling like something's watching us from the shadows, and it's giving me the creeps," Ah Gang said in a muffled voice, a hint of unease in his eyes.

Lin closed her eyes, merging her perception with the power of the wind element, attempting to ascertain her surroundings. The wind element rippled gently around her, yet seemed to be suppressed by some powerful force, appearing somewhat weak and powerless. "The elemental forces here are chaotic. My wind element is struggling to fully unfold. It seems a mysterious force is interfering." Lin slowly opened her eyes, her brow furrowed.

The Ice Princess and Su Yao each unleashed their own powers. The Ice Princess's ice wand exuded a chilling aura, forming a thin shield of ice around her. Her gaze was cold and resolute, always alert to potential danger. Su Yao gently plucked the strings of her guqin, the sound transforming into invisible sound waves that spread outward. Wherever the sound waves reached, space distorted slightly, an attempt to detect the boundaries of this space and the dangers lurking in the shadows.

Everyone advanced cautiously, taking each step with extreme caution. Suddenly, the ground ahead began to tremble violently, and huge cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. Then, giant rock puppets slowly emerged from the ground. These puppets were massive, composed of solid rock, and their bodies were engraved with strange runes. The runes glowed with a faint red light, as if they were the fire of their life.

"Be careful, it's a rock puppet!" Xu Tiancai shouted, wielding the Star Sword in his hand. A sharp sword energy slashed towards the nearest rock puppet. The sword energy sliced ​​through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and fiercely slashed into the rock puppet, but only a few sparks flew, failing to cause any substantial damage.

Seeing this, Agang roared and charged forward, axe in hand. He leaped high, his axe brimming with eternal fighting spirit as he fiercely slashed at the rock golem's head. With a resounding clang and sparks flying, Agang's axe struck the golem's head, only to be repelled by the hard rock. The immense recoil numbed his arm.

Lin manipulated the wind element, forming countless wind blades that shot towards the rock golem's joints. The wind blades sliced ​​through space like lightning, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. However, the rock golem's joints seemed exceptionally hard, and the wind blades only left a few shallow scratches.

The Ice Princess swung her ice wand, and icy magic transformed into a massive ice dragon, which entwined itself with the rock golem. Its claws bared, and a cold mist gushed from its mouth, freezing the air wherever it passed. The ice dragon tightly wrapped around the rock golem, attempting to freeze it. But the runes on the golem's body shone, and a powerful force surged from its body, instantly shattering the ice dragon.

Su Yao sped up the speed of playing the piano, and the piano sound turned into invisible sharp blades, stabbing towards the eyes of the rock puppet. The rock puppet's eyes moved slightly, and it raised its huge arm to block in front of it. The piano sound blade hit the arm, making a dull sound, but failed to cause any damage to it.

Despite their fierce attacks, they were easily neutralized by the rock puppets, which made everyone feel worried. Xu Tiancai thought to himself, these rock puppets are so powerful that fighting them head-on is obviously not the solution. He must find their weaknesses.

At this moment, Lin suddenly realized that whenever the rock golems attacked, the runes on their bodies would dim for a moment. With a sudden thought, she shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! The runes on these rock golems dim for a moment when they attack. That could be their weakness!"

Xu Tiancai's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said to everyone, "Agang, you and I will attract their attention. Lin, you will find an opportunity to use wind elements to attack the areas where their runes are dim. The Ice Princess and Su Yao will be responsible for supporting them and be ready to respond to any emergencies at any time."

Everyone nodded and followed Xu Tiancai's plan. Ah Gang rushed forward again, brandishing his battle axe. He unleashed a set of exquisite battle axe techniques, each stroke imbued with immense power. The shadows of the axe blossomed like golden lotuses among the rock puppets. Xu Tiancai coordinated with Ah Gang. The Star Sword shimmered, and streams of sword energy shot towards the rock puppets, overwhelming them.

Lin manipulated the wind element, creating massive tornadoes around the rock golem. The howling tornadoes disrupted the golem's vision and movements. While the golem was attacking, Lin focused the wind element into a sharp cone, shooting it towards the dimmed area of ​​the golem's runes.

The wind cone pierced the rock puppet's rune fiercely, causing it to let out a dull roar. Its body trembled slightly, and a small crack appeared at the rune. Seeing that the attack had worked, everyone was overjoyed. The Ice Princess immediately waved her ice wand, and ice magic surged towards the crack in the rock puppet. The cold magic instantly widened the crack and slowed the rock puppet's movements. Su Yao played a soothing piano, and the music transformed into healing power, flying towards the injured Xu Tiancai and A Gang, quickly healing their injuries.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated all the rock golems. They sat on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath, their strength completely depleted.

"This damn place is full of powerful guys. We have to be careful." A Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly.

Lin nodded slightly, "That's right, and we don't know what other dangers there are in this space."

Xu Tiancai gazed into the distance, his heart filled with confusion. "What exactly is this alien dimension? Why are there so many powerful creatures and mysterious energies?"

After a short rest, the group continued forward. As they advanced, the surroundings became increasingly bizarre. They came upon a vast lake, its water a strange blood-red, emitting a pungent odor. From time to time, huge blood-red bubbles would rise from the surface of the lake, releasing powerful energy waves when they burst.

In the center of the lake stood an ancient ruin. It exuded a powerful mystical aura, a breath that seemed to traverse the vast expanse of time and space, striking you with awe. The ruins boasted a unique architectural style, with intricate runes and patterns carved into the tall stone pillars. These shimmered faintly, seemingly telling stories of antiquity.

"The secret of this space must be hidden in that relic. Let's go and take a look." Xu Tiancai stood up, his eyes full of determination.

The group slowly made their way along the lake's edge, trying to find a path to the ruins. Suddenly, countless massive, blood-red tentacles emerged from the water, twisting like pythons and sweeping towards them. Wherever the tentacles touched, the lake was churned upside down, blood-red water splashed up and scattered on the ground, hissing and corroding small pits.

Everyone immediately became alert and used their strength to prepare for a new battle...
