Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

These phantoms appear in all kinds of strange and varied shapes.

Some of them have hideous faces that are frightening, as if they had crawled out of the abyss of hell; some are vague and erratic, just like the ethereal clouds; even worse, some are like the demons and monsters in myths and legends, with a creepy and terrifying aura all around them.

They twist and change freely in the air, as if they have life and are extremely agile, and seem to be controlled and driven by some mysterious force, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression and crisis.

It seemed that if one was not careful, these strange phantoms would suddenly rush towards the crowd like a hungry tiger, opening their bloody mouths to swallow everyone up without leaving any trace.

However, Lin Ze and his companions showed no fear despite being in such a dangerous situation.

They trust each other deeply and are determined to trust their comrades around them.

They performed an exquisite sword formation in perfect harmony. The sword shadows flashed, the cold light shone everywhere, and they intertwined into an impenetrable net, isolating the evil spirits that tried to approach and preventing them from getting even a single step beyond the limit.

Everyone used their best skills and started a thrilling and fierce fight with the phantom.

For a moment, the whole space was filled with flickering light, crisscrossing sword energy, and the attacks from the phantoms were cleverly resolved by everyone.

Lin Ze was seen wielding the long sword in his hand with great force and his sword skills were extremely sharp. Every time the sword was swung, there was a sharp sound of breaking wind. Any phantom that approached him was ruthlessly chopped down by his sword.

His companions also cooperated well. Some cast various magical spells to carry out long-range attacks, while others took the opportunity to sneak attack the phantoms with hidden weapons, leaving them with no ability to fight back.

With everyone working together, the number of phantoms gradually decreased, and finally disappeared completely.

"Huh..." Looking at the empty space in front of him, Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction, put away his sword, and let out a long sigh.

He turned to look at the others, and saw that everyone looked tired, but there was a gleam of victory in their eyes.

Although the crisis they encountered was extremely difficult, they successfully overcame the difficulties with their united spirit and strong strength.

This allowed everyone to have a deeper understanding of each other and improved the tacit understanding among the team.

After a short rest, everyone continued on their way and explored this mysterious relic in depth.

They stepped carefully over the debris on the ground, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

The atmosphere here became more and more weird, making people feel chilly.

However, they were not stopped by fear, but instead became more determined to move forward.

They are full of expectations, hoping to encounter more challenges here and discover some surprising secrets.

Perhaps, deep in this relic, there are countless precious treasures and powerful powers waiting for them to discover.

Lin Ze led the group and walked slowly through the silent ruins, their footsteps echoing in the empty hall.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. Lin Ze immediately became alert and signaled everyone to stop. He listened carefully and the sound seemed to come from a closed door in the distance.

"There may be danger ahead, everyone be careful." Lin Ze said softly.

Everyone drew their weapons and stared at the door nervously. Lin Ze took a deep breath, walked forward and gently pushed the door. The door hinge creaked and slowly opened.

A dark crack appeared in front of them, and a cold air blew in their faces.

Lin Ze raised the torch to light the road ahead.

They stepped carefully into the mysterious crack, and what appeared before them was a dark and narrow passage.

The walls on both sides of the passage seemed to have been eroded by time, and were densely engraved with all kinds of strange and puzzling runes and patterns.

These ancient symbols seem to contain some unknown power, exuding a weird and mysterious atmosphere.

The passage was like a winding snake, extending into the endless darkness.

Lin Ze took a deep breath and resolutely walked to the front of the team, acting as a pioneer.

The others followed his steps closely, their hearts filled with curiosity and a hint of fear.

Just as they were moving forward silently, suddenly, an extremely subtle but clearly audible breathing sound came into their ears.

The sound seemed to come from another world, ethereal and unreal.

Lin Ze immediately stopped and raised his hand to signal his companions behind him to keep quiet.

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively to the faint sound.

Then, they all turned their eyes in the direction where the sound came from - the end of the passage.

There, a vague black shadow could be seen standing quietly.

"What on earth is that thing?" Finally, someone couldn't suppress his inner nervousness anymore and asked in a low voice.

However, no one could answer this question, and the entire space fell into silence in an instant.

Lin Ze frowned and slowly stepped forward.

He held the torch high in his hand, trying to illuminate the dark shadow with the faint light.

When the fire gradually approached the target, they were shocked to find that it was actually a monster of huge size!

Its body is as majestic as a towering mountain, and it exudes an extremely strong evil aura that makes people shudder.

At this moment, the monster also noticed the arrival of these uninvited guests.

It suddenly opened its huge blood-red eyes and stared at the human in front of it, with cruelty and cunning light flashing in its eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing black flame spurted out from its hideous mouth, sweeping over like a surging torrent.

Faced with such a horrifying scene, Lin Ze had no intention of retreating.

On the contrary, with a determined look in his eyes and tightly grasping the extremely sharp sword in his hand, he led everyone to charge forward without hesitation.

Lin Ze shouted loudly and swung his sword with all his strength. A bright sword light rushed straight towards the black flames.

The two collided and made an earth-shattering noise.

The flame was split in half by the sword light, and Lin Ze and others quickly retreated with the recoil force.

Seeing this, the monster roared and chased after them with huge steps.

While commanding his companions to fight, Lin Ze was thinking about countermeasures.

He noticed that the monster's weak spot seemed to be in its abdomen, and every time he attacked there, the monster would show a painful expression.
