Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

The two sides were deadlocked, neither side gave in. As time passed, the situation remained unchanged.

Suddenly, Lin Ze took a deep breath and his eyes became firm and sharp.

He used all his strength and danced with the sword in his hand. His sword skills unfolded like a violent storm. The sharp sword energy intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net, covering the black shadow.

The black shadow felt the powerful pressure and had to take a few steps back to avoid the attack.

Just then, Xiaoxue seized the opportunity.

She concentrated and tried again to use her special abilities to break the barrier of the stone door.

The light shone in her hands like bright stars.

As her power continued to gather, the stone gate began to vibrate slightly.

Then, a dazzling light shone through the crack in the door, illuminating the entire space.

As the stone door slowly opened, a low roar seemed to come from a distant time and space, yet it seemed to be very close, making people's eardrums hurt.

This huge stone door is like a sleeping beast that has finally been awakened.

The mysterious aura it exudes is like a hazy veil, making people want to uncover it and find out more.

When the scene behind the door gradually appeared before their eyes, Lin Ze and Xiao Xue couldn't help but gasp.

It was a passage leading deep underground, eerie and filled with a smell of decay.

The stone walls on both sides of the passage were wet and glowed with a faint green light, as if hiding some unknown secret.

Lin Ze and Xiao Xue looked at each other, and there was a determination in each other's eyes.

Although they were somewhat nervous, they knew that they had a great mission to accomplish.

Faced with the unknown road ahead, they did not flinch and rushed behind the door without hesitation.

After entering the passage, the two men groped their way forward cautiously.

The ground under your feet is wet and slippery, and you might slip if you are not careful.

The passage was silent, the only sounds being their breathing and footsteps.

This eerie silence caused an inexplicable fear in people's hearts, but they did not stop.

They knew that this road would most likely be filled with difficulties and obstacles, but they knew even more clearly that if the mystery of the Shadow Cult was not solved, more innocent lives would be threatened.

So, no matter what awaits them ahead, they must move forward courageously.

Suddenly, Xiaoxue felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Lin Ze noticed her abnormality and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Xiaoxue pointed forward, and saw a pair of eyes in the darkness staring at them.

Lin Ze took out his weapon vigilantly and slowly approached the direction of the eyes.

When I got closer, I saw that it was just a strangely shaped stone.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief and was about to move forward, but found that the road behind him had disappeared.

They were trapped in a maze of tunnels with identical walls on all sides.

"What's going on?" Xiaoxue's voice was filled with a hint of panic.

Lin Ze calmly thought about the situation in front of him. He knew in his heart that this was most likely a hidden trap. If they couldn't find the right way out, they would be trapped here forever.

So he began to observe the surrounding environment carefully, not missing any details.

After careful observation, Lin Ze finally found some subtle differences on the wall.

These differences are so subtle that they are impossible to detect unless you look carefully, but Lin Ze captured them keenly.

He began to touch the walls gently with his hands, trying to find some clues.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that one brick seemed a little different from the other bricks.

He pressed the brick carefully, and heard a "click", and a door next to it slowly opened.

Lin Ze and Han Yun looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

The two smiled at each other, then walked into the door without hesitation.

Although they didn't know what was waiting for them ahead, they still moved forward bravely.

Because they know that only by continuous exploration can they find a way to leave this place.

Behind the door was a dark passage, and Lin Ze and Xiao Xue walked carefully.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from above his head. Lin Ze looked up and saw countless sharp iron spikes hanging above, falling down rapidly.

Lin Ze's heart tightened, and he pushed Xiaoxue away without hesitation. At the same time, a faint light appeared in his hand, and he quickly cast a defensive spell. In an instant, countless iron spikes flashing with cold light shot out from all directions, colliding fiercely with the light, making a series of crisp sounds.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ze asked with concern.

Xiaoxue shook her head, indicating that she was fine. She urged anxiously, "We can't stay here for long. We must leave here as soon as possible!"

So, the two of them quickened their pace and ran forward desperately. At the end of the passage was a spacious stone chamber filled with all kinds of precious treasures. However, at this moment, they had no intention of appreciating these treasures, and only thought about how to find the exit as soon as possible.

At this moment, the entire ground suddenly shook violently, and the stone chamber also began to tremble, as if it would collapse at any time. Lin Ze's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings and finally fell on a crack in the stone wall. He felt that this might be the passage to the outside world.

"Quick! Follow me!" Lin Ze made a prompt decision, holding Xiaoxue's hand tightly, and ran towards the gap. After some efforts, they finally escaped from the stone chamber and appeared in a dense forest.

"Huh... I'm finally out..." Xiaoxue let out a long sigh of relief, a hint of joy on her face after surviving the disaster.

However, before they had time to celebrate, they sensed a powerful and terrifying aura approaching rapidly from a distance.

Lin Ze instantly became alert and blocked Xiaoxue behind him. In the blink of an eye, a huge black monster appeared in front of them, baring its fangs and claws, emitting a suffocating pressure.

Lin Ze's eyes narrowed, and he whispered to Xiaoxue, "You stay away first, I'll deal with it!" After that, he clenched his hands, circulated the spiritual power in his body, and prepared for a fierce battle.

The monster roared and rushed towards Lin Ze. Lin Ze dodged to the side and then swung his palm. A sharp gust of wind whistled out and hit the monster's vital point.

However, the monster's skin was as hard as iron, and it easily withstood the blow. It attacked again, faster and with greater force.

Lin Ze gritted his teeth and continued to cast various spells, fighting fiercely with the monster. Xiao Xue watched nervously from the side, secretly praying that Lin Ze would be safe.
