Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze was agile and had a sharp swordsmanship, and he defeated several bandits in succession. However, the large number of bandits kept coming, which gradually made them feel more and more pressured.

At this moment, Lin Ze noticed the leader of the sand bandits, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He concentrated his energy and pounced on the leader.

The leader obviously didn't expect Lin Ze to be so brave, and was caught off guard and stabbed by Lin Ze. As the leader fell to the ground, the morale of the other sand bandits was greatly affected.

Lin Ze took the opportunity to lead his teammates to launch a counterattack, and finally, they successfully repelled the sand bandits.

Although exhausted, they know that there is still a long way to go and this victory is just the beginning.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Ze and his companions felt a little exhausted.

However, they knew that it was not time to rest yet, so they just took a short rest and then set out on their journey again.

The environment in this desert is extremely harsh. The sun is scorching and the heat is unbearable. Strong winds often blow up yellow sand all over the sky, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.

However, faced with such difficult conditions, Lin Ze and his team did not hesitate at all. They held their weapons tightly, looked ahead firmly, and moved towards their goal step by step.

After a few days, they finally saw an abandoned town in the distance.

This town must have been a bustling and prosperous place in the past, but what came into view now was a pile of ruins, dilapidated houses and deserted streets everywhere, which looked particularly desolate.

Lin Ze walked at the front of the team with light hands and full concentration, and every step he took was extremely cautious. His sharp eyes like a hawk kept scanning the surroundings, not daring to slack off, and always maintained an extremely alert state.

With his innate keen intuition and years of experience, Lin Ze vaguely felt that behind this seemingly peaceful town, there seemed to be an indescribable huge crisis. Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, something unexpected happened in an instant!

A group of mysterious figures swarmed out from the dark corner like ghosts and apparitions at lightning speed. In a flash, they surrounded their team tightly, making it impossible for them to get out.

Without exception, this group of mysterious people were all dressed in black robes, wrapped tightly from head to toe, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. They all had gloomy faces, as if they were paralyzed and had no expression at all. Everyone's hands were tightly grasping various strange weapons, and those weapons flashed with chilling light in the sunlight.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ze's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind. He knew very well that the enemy they encountered this time was probably a powerful enemy that they had never seen before. There was no doubt that a thrilling, life-and-death battle was about to begin here.

Lin Ze's deep eyes narrowed slightly, like two narrow slits, revealing a hint of alertness and calmness. He lowered his voice and said slowly: "Don't be impulsive, we have no ill intentions." However, his words did not ease the emotions of the mysterious people opposite.

The leader of the mysterious group snorted gloomily, as if he was dismissive of Lin Ze's explanation. Then, he swung his arm violently, and the long sword in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a sword energy rushed towards Lin Ze like lightning.

In a flash, Lin Ze moved to the side, dodging the fierce sword energy like a ghost. At the same time, the spear in his hand trembled slightly, and the tip of the spear flashed a little cold light, and stabbed at the mysterious man with lightning speed.

In an instant, the two sides launched an extremely fierce confrontation. For a moment, the entire field was filled with the flashing of swords and the shadows of sabers, which was dazzling. The clanging sounds of weapons colliding came one after another, and the shouts of killing were even more deafening, resounding through the sky.

Although Lin Ze and his men fought bravely with all their might, they were helpless because there were too many mysterious people and they cooperated with each other very well. They attacked from the front and defended from the back, or attacked from both sides. The offensive was like a tide. Gradually, Lin Ze's side began to fall into a passive situation and was gradually suppressed by the mysterious people, making it difficult for them to fight back.

At this critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly keenly noticed that there was a tall and magnificent building not far behind the mysterious man.

His heart moved, an idea flashed through his mind, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, break out over there!"

Hearing Lin Ze's shout, the rest of the people became energized and turned around without hesitation, running towards the building.

Those mysterious people obviously did not expect Lin Ze to make such a sudden decision. By the time they reacted and wanted to turn around to stop him, they found it was too late.

Lin Ze and others rushed into the building like a group of wild horses.

After stepping into the building, Lin Ze and his companions' attention were immediately attracted by the scene before them.

This clearly looks like a temple that has been abandoned for a long time. The mottled ancient walls seem to be telling stories of the past, and are covered with deep and shallow, criss-crossing scratches of the years.

Those traces are like the footprints left by the old man of time, recording the vicissitudes that this temple has experienced.

There is a stale smell in the air, which makes people think of the past that has been forgotten in the corner.

This old atmosphere seems to have some kind of magic, which makes people involuntarily want to explore the former glory and desolation of this temple.

However, they simply did not have the extra time to take a closer look at everything around them.

Because at this moment, the mysterious man who was chasing him from behind also broke into the temple.

The situation was urgent and there was no room for hesitation. Lin Ze made a prompt decision and led everyone to move quickly through the temple.

They made full use of the complex terrain inside the temple as cover, sometimes hiding behind pillars, sometimes hiding in dark corners, cleverly avoiding wave after wave of fierce pursuit from the enemy.

When he ran to a corner, Lin Ze suddenly stopped.

His sharp eyes caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous little door, and his intuition told him that the world behind the door might bring an unexpected turn of events.

So he pushed open the door without hesitation.

The moment the door opened, a gust of dusty air hit me in the face. I saw that the room was filled with all kinds of debris, including worn-out tables and chairs, incomplete statues of gods, and piles of yellowed books.

Just as Lin Ze was about to turn around and leave, a particularly worn-out book lying quietly in the corner caught his eye.
