Rise of the Otherworld.

Everyone followed Zhang Hao, following the route he knew through the maze-like ruins. The passage was narrow and dark, filled with an air of age and decay. The sound of water dripping from the walls was particularly clear in the silence.

"Everyone, be careful with your steps. The ground here is unstable," Zhang Hao warned. The sword in his hand illuminated a small area ahead. The faint light flickered in the darkness, as if it would go out at any moment.

The woman held the little girl's hand tightly, her expression tense. Her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, fearing any danger might suddenly appear. The little girl's face was still covered with tears, and her body was trembling slightly.

The mysterious man watched his surroundings with vigilance, not daring to relax for even a moment. The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light, ready to respond to any emergency.

Suddenly, the ground ahead began to shake violently, and huge cracks spread out. Black smoke billowed from the cracks, and a pungent smell filled the air.

"Oh no, it's a trap!" the old man exclaimed. His voice was trembling, and his face was full of fear.

Everyone jumped up, trying to avoid the crack. But the crack expanded rapidly, like a gaping mouth ready to swallow them all. Ling Yu slipped and nearly fell into it.

"Hold my hand!" Zhang Hao shouted, struggling to pull Ling Yu up. Veins bulged on his arms, and sweat covered his forehead.

At this moment, countless black vines sprang out from the cracks and attacked them like poisonous snakes. Those vines were covered with sharp thorns and flickered with an eerie light in the darkness.

Zhang Hao swung his sword to cut off the approaching vines, "Everyone, rush over!" His voice was firm and powerful, giving everyone a little courage.

Everyone dodged the vines' attack, desperately rushing forward. The woman cast a spell, and rays of light shot out from her hands, temporarily pushing back the vines. But more vines kept coming, seemingly endlessly.

The mysterious man nimbly moved between the vines, accurately cutting through them one by one with his dagger. However, the vines also scratched his body with several wounds, staining his clothes with blood.

The old man continued to cast auxiliary spells, enhancing everyone's strength and defense. A faint light enveloped everyone, making their movements more agile.

After a fierce struggle, they finally got rid of the vines, each of them panting, their bodies covered with scars and stains.

However, before they could catch their breath, they heard a deep roar, which seemed to come from the depths of hell and made people tremble with fear.

A gigantic monster slowly emerged from the darkness. Its body was as massive as a small mountain. Its fur was as hard as iron, gleaming with a black light. Its eyes were like burning fireballs, emitting a sinister aura.

"What kind of monster is this?" The mysterious man couldn't help but curse, his voice filled with despair and anger.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go together!" His eyes were firm and he raised the sword in his hand again.

Everyone joined the battle once again. The monster was incredibly powerful, and each of its attacks was incredibly powerful. A single swing of its claws could leave deep marks on the ground.

The old man kept casting spells, and rays of light shot towards the monster, but they were all blocked by the monster's powerful defense.

The woman and Lingyu cooperated with each other, and magic and talismans were intertwined to try to cause damage to the monster.

The mysterious man took the opportunity to get behind the monster and stabbed it in the weak spot with a dagger, but the monster reacted quickly and swung its tail, knocking the mysterious man away.

Zhang Hao saw the right moment, leaped onto the monster's back, and stabbed its neck with his sword. The monster roared in pain and struggled desperately.

After a hard fight, the monster was finally defeated. Its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

"Keep going, the exit shouldn't be far away," Zhang Hao said. His voice was exhausted, but his eyes were still full of hope.

As they continued forward, they encountered various traps and obstacles, including walls that shot poisonous arrows, traps covered with spikes, and fog that could cause hallucinations.

But they all overcame the difficulties through the concerted efforts of everyone. Everyone played to their full potential, supporting and helping each other.

Finally, they saw a glimmer of light ahead. It was the sunlight coming in from the exit, warm and bright.

"That's the exit!" the little girl shouted excitedly, her voice full of joy and anticipation.

Everyone quickened their pace, running towards the light, each step filled with hope and strength.

As they walked out of the ruins, the sun shone on them, and everyone felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy. A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it bursts of floral fragrance, as if welcoming their return.

"We're finally out!" the woman cheered, opening her arms, feeling the sunshine and breeze, a happy smile on her face.

However, their adventure is not over yet. Just as they were about to leave, a group of mysterious figures appeared before them...
