them.
The group ran through the temple and onto the sandy desert ground.
âLucy!â Kyra shouted and sprinted toward her.
âHow are you guys?â Steve asked. âAre you hungry?â
âAdam and Thomas!â Max was shocked to see them.
Adam offered them potions that would help them regain their strength.
Henry, Lucy, and Max drank the potions.
âIt was awful,â explained Lucy. âThey kept us trapped down there and didnât give us any food.â
âI thought weâd never get out,â confessed Henry. âI was really worried.â
The reunion didnât last for long. Rainbow griefers rushed toward the temple.
The gang could hear them screaming at each other.
âYou are the one who blew up the treasure,â one rainbow griefer yelled at another.
The gang shielded themselves from the rainbow griefers, as they hid behind the temple.
âI donât think they see us,â Henry told them.
âTheyâre awful,â added Lucy. âWe have to get out of here fast.â
âWhat about your treasure?â asked Kyra.
âThey stole it all. We have nothing left, but I donât care. I just want to get out of the desert. Weâve been trapped here for days.â Lucy was exhausted. Despite being a treasure hunter, she missed Steveâs wheat farm.
âDo you see what I see?â Henry couldnât believe his eyes. Just a few feet away from them sat another desert temple. He thought it was a mirage, but it was real.
âHow did we miss that?â asked Kyra.
The group made their way to the temple. They needed to escape from the rainbow griefers and they wanted to find treasure.
As the entered the temple, they quickly raced toward the blue clay block.
âThrow a bucket of water and we can slide down the hole once itâs activated,â Henry told the group.
Will was about to break the blue clay block when Steve shouted, âDonât break it!â
Steve began to break the orange clay block and jumped through the hole.
The rest of the group slid down to meet Steve by the four chests that contained the treasure.
âDonât step on the pressure plate!â Henry yelled over at Alex, who stood very close to the dangerous plate.
Steve opened the first chest and found diamonds and gold.
Max opened the second chest and found rotten flesh and iron and gold.
âYuck,â Kyra said when she saw the rotten flesh.
âIâm opening this one. Hope itâs not stinky,â said Alex as she opened the third chest, which was filled with golden horse armor and saddles. She offered the saddles to everyone in the group.
Henry opened the final chest, which contained an enchantment book. âAdam, youâll love this book because youâre a potion expert.â
The group placed the treasures in their inventory and were ready to make their way back to the wheat farm when they heard a noise in the temple.
âOh no!â Kyra said. âMore rainbow men!â
Four rainbow men sprinted in. One of the rainbow men stood in front of Steve and said, âLooks like you guys got that treasure.â
âGood job, Alex. You got their friends here,â the second rainbow griefer told her.
âNow give us all of your stuff,â demanded the third griefer.
The fourth rainbow griefer said, âDonât trust Alex. She is with them now.â
âWhat?â The first rainbow griefer was shocked. âWhy? Donât you want all their treasures? They are fools.â
âThey arenât fools,â Alex defended her friends. âAnd I donât want their treasure. I just want their friendship. I also want evil people like you to stop terrorizing innocent people.â
The rainbow griefers laughed at Alex and then sprinted toward the group with their diamond swords.
âItâs a battle to the death!â one of the rainbow griefers said as he struck Steve with his
