However, reality was cruel. The scorching heat, the pungent smell, the deafening roar, and the desperate cries of the team members were all destroying their will.

Just then, Ning Yu suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly...

Just as despair was fading, Ning Yu keenly sensed something amiss. "Wait!" he suddenly shouted, drawing all eyes to him with a mixture of confusion and a last glimmer of hope. "The ground! Watch out for the ground!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and focused their attention on the changes beneath their feet. Sure enough, just before the pillar of fire erupted, the ground trembled very slightly, almost imperceptible unless one paid close attention.

"This is..." a team member exclaimed, a glimmer of hope igniting in his eyes.

"This is our chance to survive!" Ning Yu said decisively. "Everyone, focus, feel the ground shaking, and find a safe place to take cover before the fire pillars erupt!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another violent tremor struck, followed by a pillar of fire shooting into the sky, the scorching flames almost licking their noses. This time, everyone was prepared and narrowly avoided the attack of the fire pillar.

"Huff...huff..." The survivors gasped for breath, still shaken as they stared at the sea of ​​fire before them.

"Captain, you're amazing!" one of the team members shouted excitedly. "We're saved!"

Ning Yu remained silent, his lips pressed tightly together, his sharp gaze sweeping across his surroundings. He knew this was only a temporary respite; the real danger was far from over, and they had to find a way out as soon as possible.

"Everyone, follow me, we're going through the gap between the pillars of fire!" Ning Yu said in a deep voice, pointing to the narrow gap between the two pillars of fire ahead.

No one dared to slack off, and they followed closely behind Ning Yu, moving forward with difficulty along the gaps in the pillars of fire. However, as they went deeper, the surrounding air became increasingly thin, and a feeling of suffocation gradually welled up in their hearts.

"Cough cough... Captain... I... I'm having trouble breathing..." a team member said painfully, clutching his chest.
