Rise of the Otherworld.

The Zhenwang Sect's troops trudged forward through the misty forest, each step filled with caution. The fallen leaves beneath their feet crunched, as if the forest were protesting its discontent. Lin Yu walked in front, his sword tightly gripped, its blade gleaming coldly in the dim light. His eyes were sharp, not missing any sign of potential danger.

"Everyone be careful and don't get separated." Lin Yu's voice echoed in the silent forest with a hint of imperceptible tension.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed, a sound that seemed to come from the depths of the abyss, sending chills down one's spine. The laughter echoed through the trees, striking at everyone's defenses.

"Who?" Tang Feng shouted, his voice filled with anger and fear. However, the only response he got was the increasingly unbridled laughter, echoing in all directions, making it difficult to tell which direction was being taken.

The magic woman's face was pale, her lips trembling slightly, and she whispered, "I'm afraid this is the evil spirit in the forest at work." Her voice was as erratic as fallen leaves in the wind.

Everyone's hearts grew increasingly tense, and it seemed as if they could hear each other's heartbeats. Every heartbeat was like the beating of a war drum, foreshadowing the arrival of unknown danger.

At this moment, the fog grew thicker, enveloping everyone like a heavy curtain. Their vision was almost completely obscured, and they could only see a few steps in front of them.

"Oh no, we might be lost," Zhao Yu said anxiously, his voice clearly panicked. He tried to identify his surroundings, but it was all in vain.

Lin Yu tried to calm himself down. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to calm his inner anxiety. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said firmly, "Everyone, stay where you are. I'll think of a solution." His voice was not loud, but it was full of power, which calmed everyone's panic a little.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the strong man who was good at boxing suddenly shouted, "Look, there is a light over there!" His voice was full of surprise, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw in the darkness.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed, they saw a faint light. The light was faintly visible in the thick fog, like a twinkling star in the night sky.

"Maybe that's the way out. Let's go and take a look." Lin Yu said. There was a hint of hope in his voice. Although he still had doubts in his heart, this was their only hope at the moment.

As they approached the light, they discovered that it was a mysterious cave, with a strange light flickering at the entrance. The light was so colorful that it made people feel awe.

"This cave looks dangerous. Should we go in?" a disciple asked hesitantly, his voice trembling and his eyes filled with fear.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth: "We're already here, there's no choice, let's go in and take a look." His eyes were firm, with no intention of retreating.

The group cautiously entered the cave, which was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. Strange runes flickered on the walls, pulsing and pulsing like living creatures, leaving the viewer baffled. The temperature inside the cave was so low that the breath they exhaled instantly turned to white mist.

As we walked, we found three forks in the road. Each fork was deep and dark, and we had no idea where it led.

"What should I do?" Tang Feng frowned. He looked at the three forked roads, feeling confused.

Lin Yu observed for a while and said, "Take the middle one." His tone was firm, as if he had already made some judgment in his mind.

The group continued forward along the middle fork, taking each step carefully. Suddenly, they heard a deep roar, as if from an ancient beast, shaking the entire cave.

"Oh no! There's something!" the magician exclaimed. Her voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the silence in the cave.

A massive demonic beast burst out of the darkness, claws and fangs bared, lunging at the crowd. Its body was massive, its scales gleaming with a strange light. Its eyes were red, brimming with murderous lust.

Lin Yu, undaunted, charged forward to engage the monster. His sword slashed through the air, each stroke laced with the resolve to kill. The other disciples also displayed their abilities. Tang Feng wielded his sword, his aura surging. The magician's spells shone brightly, illuminating the dark corners. The sturdy boxer's fists roared, each punch imbued with immense power.

After a hard fight, everyone finally defeated the monster. The monster fell to the ground and let out a final wail.

"Keep going, I feel like we're about to find the exit." Lin Yu encouraged everyone. His body was covered with wounds, but his eyes remained firm.

Just when they were almost in despair, a ray of light appeared ahead. Like a beacon of hope, it illuminated the way forward for everyone.

"It's the exit!" everyone shouted excitedly. Their voices were filled with joy and excitement, as if they had forgotten the fatigue and pain they had felt before.

They emerged from the cave and found themselves in an unfamiliar valley. Birdsong and the fragrance of flowers filled the valley, a stark contrast to the dangerous scene they had just encountered. Sunlight streamed down the grass, flowers blossomed, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the flowers.

"We're finally out!" the disciples cheered. They ran across the grass, enjoying the hard-earned peace.

However, before they could enjoy this moment of peace, a new crisis quietly approached. A low horn sounded from the depths of the valley, breaking the silence.
