I am a winner with Chinese poetry

The wooden steps on the suspension bridge are already worn out, covered with marks and cracks left by time; and connecting these steps are iron chains that are only as thick as fingers.

Looking down, I saw a bottomless abyss beneath the bridge, pitch black and eerie. Apart from the whistling wind, there was no other sound.

"Oh my God! No way... Could it be... Do we really have to walk across this wobbly suspension bridge that looks like it's going to collapse at any second?"

Zhu Chenxu's eyes widened, almost popping out, his face filled with terror. His throat struggled to move, and he swallowed, his voice trembling slightly. "This...this is horrible!"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the precarious-looking suspension bridge in front of him, and his voice was a little weak.

Jiang Liunian, standing by, frowned slightly upon hearing this and looked around thoughtfully. He then slowly retracted his steps, and at that moment, something unexpected happened—the wooden plank he was standing on suddenly broke in two at his light step.

As the wooden board broke, some fine wood chips seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and fell along the cracks into the bottomless abyss below, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm... Judging from the current situation, it seems that there is indeed no other safe way to pass through."

Jiang Liunian muttered to himself as he turned to look at Yun Zhou beside him, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Yun Zhou, I've heard you possess an extremely magical literary skill! It's said that once you use it, you can summon a gigantic roc. In my opinion, why don't we just ride on this roc and fly directly across this abyss? That way, we wouldn't have to risk stepping onto this rickety suspension bridge, and we could still reach the other side quickly. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"I'll try!" Gu Yunzhou's gaze was fixed on the scene that had just unfolded, his mind already determined. Without hesitation, he activated his magic formula, muttering something, and began to summon the Roc. Instantly, a powerful aura emanated from his body, soaring into the sky.

Barely a second later, a massive roc, its body growing ever larger, its wings eclipsing the sun, burst through the wind and landed steadily before the crowd. Its magnificent feathers shimmered with a myriad of colors, like a fine work of art. Its sharp claws, as sharp as steel, radiated a chilling, captivating light. Its enormous, majestic eyes revealed an innate dominance.

"Wow, this Peng bird is so beautiful! With such a huge body, not to mention the three of us, even if ten people are added, they can easily sit on it!" Zhu Chenxu widened his eyes with envy, staring at the Peng bird that was hovering low beside Gu Yunzhou obediently, its mouth open so wide that it could almost fit an egg.

"Great! Now we don't have to walk on that shaky suspension bridge. Just looking at it from a distance, you can see that it has obviously been in disrepair for a long time. I was really worried that as soon as I stepped on those pedals, they would immediately 'die en masse'!" Jiang Liunian's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, he breathed a long sigh, then stared at the Roc with a smile on his face, with a hint of fear still remaining on his face.

At this moment, however, Gu Yunzhou's brow furrowed slightly, and he gazed thoughtfully at the winding suspension bridge ahead. Like a sleeping dragon, the bridge lay quietly across the valley. Due to its distance, and the thin layer of mist covering the bridgehead, the other end appeared hazy and difficult to see in full.

"Wait... I always feel that things are not as simple as they seem. Let me try it first!" Gu Yunzhou frowned slightly, always feeling a little uneasy.

"Now that you put it that way, I think it's a bit too simple, especially compared to the first two levels we passed. I always feel it's unlikely that we can pass it so easily!" The smile on Zhu Chenxu's face froze instantly. Although he was very reluctant to admit this fact, deep down in his heart he had to agree with Gu Yunzhou's inference.

"Please don't be so unlucky. I'm okay with everything except heights! There's a bottomless abyss down there. If you accidentally fall in, even your bones will be shattered!"

Jiang Liunian's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and he looked as if he had suffered a huge blow. He looked dispirited and pitiful.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhou had no intention of paying attention to him at all. He just looked straight ahead with a firm gaze and gave clear instructions to the majestic Roc beside him without hesitation.

Then, he saw the roc that was originally circling around him leisurely suddenly let out a loud and high-pitched cry, and its broad and powerful wings elegantly drew a graceful arc in the air, and then quickly adjusted the direction of flight, and rushed straight towards the shaky suspension bridge in the distance like an arrow.

Three pairs of eyes stared at the figure of the Peng bird, and then nothing happened.

After the original Roc entered the range of the suspension bridge, its entire figure turned into mist and turned into literary energy and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Damn it! This is simply forcing me to death! Not even leaving me any chance of survival!" Jiang Liunian's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief as he wailed, rubbing his eyes frantically, as if trying to deny the fact that he had just witnessed—that the gigantic Roc had truly vanished into thin air. However, no matter how hard he tried, reality was still before him, leaving him no room for any illusions.

At this moment, Jiang Liunian's expression instantly became dejected, as if his entire world had collapsed. Zhu Chenxu, standing nearby, swallowed hard, mustered a little courage, and cautiously took a small step forward, approaching the bottomless cliff. Then, trembling, he looked down into the abyss below. Then, he reached out and gently grasped the rope connecting the suspension bridge, as if testing its strength.
