New Tales of the Ming Treasure Voyages
Kennedy School, Wang, Sophia - 9
A long time ago, the trees were swaying, the sun rose from the east end of the ocean and the Ming Treasure
Voyages were ready to experience a hazard adventure beyond them. There were 7 voyages on the ship and
they were all exceptionally brave. Soon, the voyages set off, on the way to their target.
The voyages had planned to go to a manacious forest because on one journey, they found a map. The map
showed that there was a rare treasure in Diamonio Forest, this forest was seriously dangerous, it had curses,
monsters, poison and dangerous plants.
After a long journey on the ship, the captain turned the wheel slightly to the right, towards the dark, spooky
forest.
After some time, the ming treasure voyages had finally arrived at Diamonio forest. One voyage tossed the
anchor onto the forest’s ground and another voyage set a ladder down so they could alight the ship. Once all
the Ming treasure voyages had disembarked the ship, they started heading towards their destination.
Through the forest of execution, there were lots of black plants which looked dead, the trees were as tall as
buildings and didn’t let much sunlight flow into the forest, the flowers looked dreadfully monstrous and the
insects were gigantically enormous.
The ming treasure voyages were nearly there, just a few more steps until they could celebrate their
wonderful achievement. But things started turning up worse than the voyages had expected...
The trees had armies of massive bugs on them and it became immensely dark and a humangest monster
showed up right in front of where the treasure was, the treasure was right behind this colossal monster.
“Captain, I think this is the guardian of treasure. There’s no way we can get passed this monster.”protested
Yi Hang. “We can do this. We are the ming treasure voyages!”bellowed the captain. This monster was very
unusual, it had a dragon’s head, a tarantula's face, T Rex’s teeth and a gigantic, bloody devil’s body.
“Voyages, I believe we must fight to get past this unbelievable monster.”admitted the captain. The voyages
looked terrified, but they were willing to do whatever they could do get that treasure!
Soon, the dragon-headed-tarantula-faced-T-Rex-teethed-bloody-devil-bodied monster let out the
loudest roar in the world
“RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!” and
trillions of enormous bugs came crawling to the ming treasure voyages and clung to them. The voyages
struggled do get the bugs off their bodies. Some voyages even fell to the rough ground. When all the
voyages fell to the ground (even the captain), the hideous and humongous monster roared a more controlled
roar, and the bugs scurried off, then the creature took all 7 voyages (by hand) and threw all of them in a
massive box with a lock and locked all of them in there.“I bet that thing was just trying to weaken us and
later, it’s going to gobble us up!” complained Gu Ling. “Stop complaining and think! We must find a way
to first, get out of this box, second, to find the treasure and hurry to our ship!”ordered the captain. Yi Hang,
who was thinking the whole time on this journey had already thought of a plan “Can’t we just get our
weapons and slice through this box?!”He wondered. The captain managed a small smile at him “That’s a
wonderful idea!” Then, 4 voyages got out their swords and sliced through the locked-box. The voyages
were free to get out of the locked-box! But… they still had to find the treasure. “Be as quiet as
possible!”hissed the captain. The voyages started searching around the place. Yi Hang saw a small, locked
box and without hesitation, he sliced through the small box (with his weapon) and found… something
beautiful. It was gold and looked like a mini wizard’s staff! “Captain! This is one of the most rarest treasures
on earth! I know once you have your hands on it, it will cause good luck for you everywhere!”explained Yi
Hang. The captain smiled. “OK. Now, voyages, we have to get out of here and onto our ship before the
monster attacks us!” mentioned the captain. So, all the voyages tiptoed to a door, opened the door handle
and carefully hurried out the door. They saw… right in front of them, standing was the dragon-headed-
tarantula-faced-T-Rex-teethed-bloody-devil-bodied monster, luckily, the monster wasn’t facing their
way. Yi Hang (holding the treasure) went in front of everyone and he simply walked passed the huge
monster, the monster was staring at Yi Hang, now. But Yi Hang showed no fear and went ahead, towards
where their ship was. Amazingly, the monster didn’t attack him. The others followed close to the youngest
voyage, they were just a few feet away from their ship! After half a minute, the ming treasure voyages were
