The genius who counterattacked the mainland

After Xu Tiancai and the others stepped into the portal, they saw a flash of light before their eyes, followed by a dizzying moment. When their vision returned to normal, they found themselves in a completely new world.

This world was completely different from the one they were familiar with. The sky was filled with strange colors, as if woven from countless brilliant lights. The land was vast and boundless, with rolling mountain ranges in the distance. Atop these mountains grew all sorts of bizarre plants. Some resembled giant mushrooms, emitting a soft glow; others resembled twisting vines, shimmering with a metallic sheen.

They were in a vast expanse of grassland. The grass wasn't a typical green, but a dreamy blue. A gentle breeze swayed the grass, creating a scene resembling a vast blue ocean. A faint fragrance filled the air, a scent that was both refreshing and strange.

"Wow, what place is this? It's amazing!" Su Yao looked around excitedly, her eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

Xu Tiancai was also shocked by the scene before him. He observed the surrounding environment vigilantly and said, "We must be careful. This world is full of unknowns. Although it looks beautiful, it may also hide many dangers."

Alice nodded and closed her eyes, trying to sense the magical fluctuations of this world. After a moment, she opened her eyes with a look of surprise on her face. "The magical elements here are very rich, and different from the magical elements in our world. It feels more active and powerful."

Lin crouched down, carefully examining the blue blades of grass. She noticed fine lines on the blades, lines that seemed to hold some mysterious power. She gently touched the blades, and a faint electric sensation coursed through her body, causing her to shiver slightly.

"These grasses seem to contain magical powers." Lin stood up and said to everyone.

Just as they were filled with curiosity and wonder at this new world, a low roar suddenly came from the distance. Everyone immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a group of huge creatures rushing towards them.

These creatures are massive, like moving hillocks. They resemble rhinoceroses, but are covered in hard, iridescent scales. Their heads bear a pair of massive horns, coiled with electric currents that crackle and crackle.

"Everyone be careful!" Xu Tiancai shouted and quickly cast a magic shield to protect everyone behind him.

The group of creatures rushed in front of them in an instant. The leader roared, then lowered its head and rammed its electric horns into the magic shield. There was a loud bang, and the magic shield trembled violently. Xu Tiancai felt a powerful impact, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, continuously injecting magic power to maintain the stability of the shield.

Seeing this, Su Yao waved her weapon and wanted to rush out to fight these creatures. Xu Tiancai quickly stopped her: "Don't be impulsive. We don't know the habits and strength of these creatures yet. Let's observe them first."

Lin pondered a countermeasure. She noticed that these creatures seemed highly aggressive against magic shields, but their movements were relatively simple. Suddenly, she had an idea and said to Xu Tiancai, "We can use magic to create a false impression to attract their attention, and then look for an opportunity to break through from the side."

Xu Tiancai nodded, and he and Lin collaborated to cast an illusion spell. Suddenly, a group identical to theirs appeared before the creatures, and the illusion ran in another direction. Sure enough, the creatures were drawn to the illusion and chased after it.

Xu Tiancai and the others took the opportunity to quickly flee in the opposite direction. After running for a distance, they found that the creatures had not caught up with them, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"The creatures in this world are so ferocious." Su Yao said while panting.

"We have just encountered a small part of it. There must be more powerful creatures and unknown dangers waiting for us in this world. We must be more careful." Xu Tiancai said seriously.

They continued on their journey, carefully avoiding all possible dangers along the way. As they went deeper, they discovered that this world not only had strange creatures and plants, but also some mysterious ruins. These ruins were ancient and vicissitudes of life, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, as if telling the long history of this world.

They stopped before a ruin. It was a massive castle, its walls engraved with strange symbols and patterns. Some of these symbols shimmered faintly, seeming to hold some mysterious power. The castle's gate was tightly closed, inlaid with a massive gem that shone with a captivating brilliance.

"This castle looks quite extraordinary. It might be hiding secrets about this world," Alice said.

"But how do we get in? This door looks very sturdy, and we don't know what the gems on it are used for." Lin said with a frown.

Xu Tiancai walked forward and carefully observed the gate and the gem. He found that the light on the gem seemed to have some connection with the surrounding symbols. He tried to use his magic to sense the gem, and suddenly, the gem emitted a strong light, enveloping him.

Xu Tiancai felt a powerful message flood into his mind, information containing the history of this world and the secrets of this castle. It turned out that this castle was a symbol of a once powerful civilization, housing precious knowledge and powerful magical powers. However, this civilization perished long ago due to a devastating disaster, and the castle was sealed.

Xu Tiancai told everyone the information he had obtained, and everyone was shocked.

"Then we must go in and take a look. Maybe we can find something useful to us and better understand this world." Su Yao said excitedly.

Xu Tiancai nodded and continued to use his magic to communicate with the gem, trying to find a way to open the door. After some effort, the symbol on the door began to flash, a low sound was emitted, and then it slowly opened.

A stale atmosphere filled the air, and everyone cautiously entered the castle. It was dark and silent inside, with torches on the walls flickering faintly, illuminating the path ahead. They walked along a corridor, which led to rooms on either side. Each room contained a variety of strange objects and instruments, some resembling magical props, others resembling products of unknown technology.

In one room, they discovered an ancient book. The pages had yellowed, but the text was still legible. Xu Tiancai picked it up and discovered the text was in a language he had never seen before, yet strangely, he could understand it. The book recorded the world's magical system, powerful spells, and historical events of a fallen civilization.

Xu Tiancai was overjoyed. He carefully put the book away, intending to take it back and study it carefully. They continued to explore the castle, discovering several precious gems and magical items. These items held powerful powers that, if used properly, would be of great help to them.

However, just as they were about to leave the castle, they suddenly felt a powerful dark force approaching. This dark force was full of evil and destruction, which made people shudder.

"Everyone be careful, there is danger!" Xu Tiancai said vigilantly.

They quickly prepared for battle, awaiting the arrival of the dark forces. A moment later, a massive black shadow appeared at the castle's gate. Its form was blurry, emitting a thick, dark aura, making it impossible to discern its true form.

The shadow let out a deep roar and then launched an attack. Dark power surged like a tide, instantly enveloping them. Xu Tiancai and the others immediately cast magic to fight the dark force. However, they discovered that the shadow was extremely powerful, and their magic attacks seemed to have little effect on it.

In the fierce battle, Xu Tiancai suddenly remembered a powerful spell recorded in a magic book he had found in the castle. This spell required the combined strength of everyone to cast, but it was extremely powerful. He decided to take a risk and give it a try.

"Everyone listen to me, let's cast that magic spell together. Maybe this is our only chance." Xu Tiancai shouted loudly.

Alice, Lin, and Su Yao nodded. They concentrated their minds and gathered their magic power on Xu Tiancai. Xu Tiancai felt the powerful strength of the crowd and began to chant a spell. As the spell was chanted, a powerful light burst out from his hand, illuminating the entire castle.

The light and the dark forces collided, causing a violent explosion. The shadow let out a painful wail before gradually dissipating.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing they had temporarily defeated this powerful enemy. But they also knew that more dangers and challenges awaited them in this world. Taking their gains from the castle, they left and continued to explore this mysterious world, searching for the true source of the mysterious summoning power and a way to return to their own world.

On their subsequent journey, they encountered many strange creatures and mysterious phenomena. They traversed dense forests, crossed turbulent rivers, and scaled towering mountains. In the process, they continued to grow and progress, learning how to harness the magical powers of this world and gaining a deeper understanding of it.

Finally, after a long journey, they arrived at a mysterious valley. Thick fog filled the valley, and strange lights flickered within the mist. The mysterious summoning force here became incredibly strong, as if telling them they were nearing their destination.

Xu Tiancai and his companions cautiously entered the valley. Deep within the valley, they discovered a large stone platform. On the platform sat a crystal ball, emitting a dazzling light. The crystal ball seemed to contain endless energy.

"Is this the source of the summoning power?" Xu Tiancai stared at the crystal ball, his heart filled with shock.

As they approached the crystal ball, a group of dark shadowy creatures suddenly emerged from all directions. These creatures were somewhat similar to the shadows they had encountered before, but more sinister and powerful. They launched a fierce attack on Xu Tiancai and his companions.

Xu Tiancai and his companions immediately launched a counterattack, using various magic and skills to engage in a fierce battle with the shadow creatures. During the battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that these shadow creatures seemed to be guarding the crystal ball and would not allow anyone to approach.

"We must break their protection and get the crystal ball. Maybe this is the key for us to solve the mystery of this world." Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone worked together to continuously attack the shadow creature. After a hard battle, they finally succeeded in repelling the shadow creature. Xu Tiancai stepped forward and carefully picked up the crystal ball.

The moment he touched the crystal ball, a powerful force surged into his body. Images emerged in his mind, showing the origin, development, and destruction of this world, as well as the true purpose of the mysterious summoning power.

It turns out that this world was once a highly developed magical civilization, but due to an internal war and the erosion of dark forces, civilization was destroyed. The mysterious summoning force was sent by the guardian of this world, hoping to find a capable person to save the world and restore its peace and prosperity.

Xu Tiancai finally understood his mission and decided to help the guardian of this world, fight against the dark forces and rebuild the world. He told his idea to Alice, Lin and Su Yao, and they all expressed their willingness to support him.

Thus, Xu Tiancai and his companions, armed with the crystal ball, began their new journey into this world. They would face numerous challenges and difficulties, but their hearts were filled with hope and courage. They believed that as long as they persevered, they would successfully complete their mission and bring new life and hope to this mysterious world. At the same time, they also hoped that in the process, they would find a way back to their own world and reunite with their allies.
