Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

At this moment, Lin Ze seized the opportunity, jumped up suddenly, and his whole body drew a graceful arc in the air.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand stabbed straight into the belly of the giant beast.

In a flash, there was a dull "puff" sound, and the long sword successfully pierced the belly of the giant beast and went deep into it.

The severely injured giant beast let out a shrill scream and struggled violently.

But due to its severe injuries, it didn't take long for the ferocious beast to fall to the ground, unable to move at all.

After experiencing that thrilling, life-or-death struggle, Lin Ze and Su Yao seemed to be reborn from the ashes, and some changes had quietly taken place in their hearts. They might have been a little reckless in the past, but now they have become more cautious.

After a short rest, they set out on their journey again. Along the way, both of them were silent, thinking about the various situations they might encounter and how to deal with them. Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere.

Not long after, a majestic and mysterious palace suddenly appeared not far ahead. This palace seemed to have walked out of a fairy tale, standing there quietly, emitting a dazzling and strange light. From a distance, it was like a bright pearl in a dreamland, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

There is no doubt that this is the final destination they are looking for in this difficult and dangerous adventure. Looking at the palace flashing with strange light, Lin Ze and Su Yao's hearts were instantly filled with various emotions. There was full of anticipation for the unveiling of the mystery, and excitement for the unknown road ahead; however, at the same time, a trace of indescribable uneasiness also followed like a shadow. After all, what kind of incredible adventure is hidden behind this seemingly beautiful palace? What hidden unknown dangers are waiting for them to fall into the trap? These questions are like a cloud of fog shrouding their hearts, lingering.

Despite such complicated and tangled emotions, their pace could not help but speed up. One step after another, firm and powerful, as if being pulled by an invisible force, they approached the mysterious palace step by step. With each step closer, the feeling of accelerated heartbeat became stronger, as if they could hear the sound of their own hearts beating violently in their chests.

When they walked to the palace gate, the huge door slowly opened automatically, and brilliant light shone through.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, and then stepped into the mysterious door without hesitation. Seeing this, Su Yao also quickened her pace and followed Lin Ze into it.

As soon as they stepped into the door, the surrounding scenery began to change like a dream. In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a colorful sea of ​​flowers. However, this seemingly beautiful and charming sea of ​​flowers exuded a creepy and strange atmosphere.

Before the two of them could come to their senses, suddenly, a group of twisted and hideous humanoid monsters suddenly jumped out from the dense flowers! These monsters held sharp long thorns and attacked Lin Ze and Su Yao frantically like hungry tigers. Faced with such a sudden crisis, Lin Ze reacted quickly. He shook his wrist and instantly drew the sword at his waist, slashing at the monsters fiercely. At the same time, Su Yao, who was standing aside, did not show any weakness. She waved her hands, chanted something, and cast powerful spells to provide strong support for Lin Ze.

In the fierce battle, Lin Ze keenly noticed the weakness of these monsters: as long as they were damaged, they would immediately turn into wisps of black smoke and disappear without a trace. After discovering this key, Lin Ze decisively changed his tactics and stopped fighting with the monsters. Instead, he concentrated on launching rounds of fierce attacks.

Not long after, with the tacit cooperation of Lin Ze and Su Yao, this group of terrible monsters were finally wiped out. After taking a short breath, the two continued to explore carefully into the depths.

After a winding passage, they finally arrived at a spacious and magnificent hall. In the center of the hall, there was a huge crystal ball quietly suspended in the air. The crystal ball was crystal clear, with a faint light flashing on the surface, and some blurred images slowly emerged on the ball. Looking closely at those images, they seemed to be telling the secrets hidden in this place.

It turns out that this is a place where an ancient demon god has sealed away his body! If they want to obtain the legendary treasure, they must successfully solve a series of complex puzzles and further strengthen the seal to prevent the demon god from breaking out.

Lin Ze turned to look at Su Yao beside him, their eyes met, and they both saw the firm determination in each other's eyes.

Although they knew that many difficulties and obstacles were waiting for them ahead, there was no way out at this moment. They could only rely on their own wisdom and courage to move forward.

Lin Ze walked towards the crystal ball and reached out to touch it. The blurry images suddenly became clear, revealing the first puzzle. It was a strange star map, with many stars arranged in a mysterious way.

Lin Ze frowned and fell into deep thought. He kept scanning the surroundings, trying to find a clue from this seemingly peaceful environment. On the other side, Su Yao was not idle either. She danced around like a smart butterfly, carefully searching for possible clues.

At this moment, Su Yao's sharp eyes were suddenly attracted by a stone slab engraved with mysterious runes in the corner of the hall. She pointed at the stone slab excitedly and shouted, "Look there! This stone slab seems to be related to the star map we have been looking for!" Hearing Su Yao's shout, Lin Ze immediately walked over as fast as the wind, squatted down, and began to examine the stone slab engraved with runes with full concentration.

Lin Ze compared the star map in his hand with the runes on the stone tablet, and thought about the potential connection between them in his mind. As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Lin Ze's forehead, but he still did not give up and continued to think hard. Finally, after a long period of deep thinking, Lin Ze seemed to have found the key. He carefully followed the instructions given by the runes and gently moved the star patterns on the star map that were flickering with faint light.
