Rise of the Otherworld.

In the chaos, the ancient book fell from the stone platform. Quick-witted and quick-handed, Zhang Hao rushed forward, trying to grab the ancient book. His eyes were filled with eagerness and determination, as if this ancient book was the key to unlocking all the mysteries.

However, a man in black also pounced on the ancient book at the same time, and their hands touched the ancient book almost at the same time. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and both sides stared at each other intently, their eyes filled with sparks of struggle.

"Let go!" Zhang Hao shouted angrily. His voice was like thunder in the chaotic scene, full of majesty and anger.

The man in black snorted coldly, "Don't even think about it!" His voice was cold and ruthless. He pulled hard at the ancient book, and started a fierce struggle with Zhang Hao. His strength was so great that Zhang Hao felt that his arm was about to be torn off.

At this time, other men in black also gathered around, trying to prevent Zhang Hao from obtaining the ancient book. Their footsteps echoed in the temple, like the drumbeat of death, step by step closer.

Seeing this, the old man shouted, "Zhang Hao, I'm here to help you!" As he spoke, he cast a powerful spell, radiating light like a bright star. The spell instantly transformed into a powerful force, repelling the surrounding men in black.

The herbalists and the black-robed men also fought back against the attacks of the other black-clad men, buying time for Zhang Hao. They moved through the crowd, each attack laced with unwavering determination.

Zhang Hao clutched the ancient book tightly, locked in a stalemate with the man in black. Veins popped on his forehead, and sweat poured down like rain. Suddenly, he slipped and nearly fell. At that moment, his heart leaped into his throat.

The man in black took the opportunity to increase his strength and was about to snatch the ancient book away. A smug smile appeared on his face, as if victory was already in his grasp.

At this critical moment, Zhang Hao exerted his strength suddenly, and a powerful force surged within him. He shouted loudly and threw the man in black out. The man in black hit the wall hard and let out a muffled groan.

He finally succeeded in getting the ancient book. "Hurry up!" he shouted. His voice was filled with excitement and nervousness, like a charge horn on the battlefield.

The crowd began to rush out of the temple, with the men in black chasing them closely. Their footsteps and shouts intertwined, forming a chaotic melody.

The temple was shaking more and more violently, with rocks falling continuously. Huge rocks flew overhead, making people tremble with fear.

As Zhang Hao ran, he quickly flipped through the ancient books, hoping to find some useful information. The words on the ancient books were ancient and mysterious, so he could only glance at them hurriedly, eagerly hoping to find some key clues.

"What's written on it?" the herbalist asked, panting heavily. His face was covered in sweat and dust, and his eyes were filled with confusion and expectation.

"No time to look closely, let's get out of here first!" Zhang Hao replied, his gaze fixed firmly on the front, his steps unflinching.

They rushed out of the temple, the sunlight outside was particularly dazzling. At that moment, they seemed to have stepped out of the dark abyss into a world of light, but the danger was not far away.

But the men in black continued to pursue them, forcing Zhang Hao and the others to continue their desperate escape. Their figures shuttled through the mountains and forests, raising clouds of dust.

After running for an unknown amount of time, they came to a river, which was roaring and surging, with waves crashing against the banks.

"There's no way out!" the herbalist cried desperately, his voice filled with fear and helplessness. His legs gave way as he stared at the turbulent river.

Zhang Hao looked at the turbulent river and had a risky idea in his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's cross the river!"

"How can we get through this? We will be washed away!" said the herbalist in horror.

"There is no time to hesitate, believe me!" Zhang Hao's eyes were extremely firm.

The old man nodded and said, "Let's fight!"

The man in black robe did not back down, "Then give it a try!"

Zhang Hao was the first to jump into the river, trying to maintain his balance and swimming towards the other side. The force of the river was so strong that he was almost swept away several times, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Others followed suit, struggling hard in the river...
