Chapter 813: Cursed Valley Collapse
As they escaped the cave, the Cursed Valley's collapse erupted in full force. Countless boulders tumbled, clouds of dust billowed, and they fled in panic out of the valley.
Fortunately, we were able to escape from the danger zone safely in the end.
The new member held the key tightly in his hand, shaking with excitement, his voice trembling a little: "We got the first key!" His face was filled with excitement and joy, as if this key was the most important thing in his life.
The old man beside him looked at him and smiled with relief. He slowly said, "This is just the beginning. The situation of the other two groups is still unclear. We need to meet up with them as soon as possible to see if they have also successfully obtained the key."
The two of them didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed back to the agreed meeting point with the other team members. Along the way, they prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the other two groups would be safe.
When they arrived at the rendezvous point, they discovered that two other groups had already returned. One group was beaming, holding a key high in their hands, clearly having found their target. However, the other group had a solemn expression on their faces; they had returned empty-handed, clearly having failed to find the key.
Upon questioning, it turned out that the group had encountered a powerful fire elemental creature during their search for the key. Despite their best efforts, they were severely injured in the fierce battle and were forced to abandon their search for the key and flee in disgrace.
At this point, they only had two keys, and they were still far from completing their mission. Everyone sat together, their hearts heavy. Someone suggested returning to the area where the group had failed to find the remaining keys. However, others worried that time was running out, and if they delayed too long, they might miss out on other opportunities.
As everyone was arguing, the new member, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up. His voice was quiet, but full of confidence: "I have a bold plan..."
Everyone's eyes turned to the new member.
He cleared his throat and said, "We can split into two groups. One group can go to the area with the fire elemental creatures and use the remaining time to look for the key; the other group can try their luck in other unexplored areas."
The old man touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Well, this is indeed a good idea. Splitting up to search can expand the search range and increase the probability of finding the key." His words were unanimously recognized by everyone, and everyone expressed their agreement.
At that moment, the new member stepped forward and offered to go to the area with the fire elementals. He explained, "I think I'm lucky since I just got the key. I'm also familiar with fire elementals, so maybe going there will help me find the third key faster."
The old man thought about it and felt that the new member's proposal made sense, so he agreed to his request. Then, the old man led another group to search other areas.
The new group cautiously entered the dangerous area again. Remembering their previous experience, they dared not take any chances. Before entering, they developed a detailed battle plan, ensuring everyone was clear about their responsibilities and tasks.
When they encountered the fire elemental creatures again, they did not panic like last time. Instead, they responded to the enemy's attacks calmly and cleverly used the surrounding environment to avoid being burned by the flames.
The new member seized the opportunity and rushed forward as fast as lightning, his weapon gleaming in the air. With the close cooperation of his teammates, he successfully broke through the fire elemental's defenses and reached the place it was guarding.
Sure enough, there they found the third key, lying quietly in a hidden corner. The new member picked up the key excitedly, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
The new member held up the key and signaled to his teammates.
Everyone cheered and morale was boosted.
But just as they were about to evacuate, danger struck again.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, as if some immense force was about to burst forth. Then, an immensely large, super-fire elemental creature, emitting a fiery aura, suddenly emerged from the ground. Its appearance was like a volcanic eruption, instantly scalding the surrounding air.
This super fire elemental creature was clearly more powerful than any they had encountered before. Its body was covered in a layer of blazing flames, and every breath it took released streams of blazing fire, forcing the new member and his companions into a desperate situation. Faced with such a ferocious enemy, the new member did not panic. He quickly calmed down and carefully observed the monster's attack rhythm, trying to find any flaws.
After some observation, the new member found that this super fire elemental creature would briefly pause when attacking, which was exactly the opportunity he needed. He immediately ordered his teammates to disperse and attack it from different directions to distract its attention.
In the fierce battle, the new member seized a gap in the monster's attack and leaped up without hesitation. The weapon in his hand flashed a cold light in the air and fiercely stabbed the super fire elemental in the core. With a deafening roar, the super fire elemental finally collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the fatal blow.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tension slightly eased. They quickly advanced and recovered three keys from the monster's corpse, crucial for completing the mission. With these three keys, the new member and the others successfully reunited with the other group.
At this moment, they are one step closer to completing the mission, and the new members have won everyone's trust and respect with their bravery and wisdom.
After everyone gathered together, the old man looked at the three keys in the hands of the new member, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.
"Well done, boy!" He patted the new member on the shoulder.
But before everyone could celebrate, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, a mysterious rune light flashed, and a huge portal appeared out of thin air.
Suddenly, the tightly closed door slowly opened, accompanied by a sinister creaking sound. A group of mysterious figures in black robes filed out like ghosts. Their black robes fluttered in the wind, seemingly blending into the darkness, making it difficult to see their faces. However, the eerie aura emanating from them was like a cold current, instantly chilling everyone present.
The mysterious leader stood at the front. His black robe was larger than the others', covering his entire body, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He stared intently at everyone, then said in a cold, low voice, "Hand over the keys in your hands!"
