Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze was fascinated by the monsters and evolved beasts in the mountains.

The meat of evolved beasts is delicious, and the demon beasts' demon pills can allow Xue Yao to maintain her human form longer.

Lin Ze decided to go deep into the mountains and forests to find more evolved beasts and monsters. He took a sharp sword and embarked on an adventure.

Deep in the mountains, Lin Ze encountered a huge python. It was huge and its scales were shining coldly.

Lin Ze approached the python cautiously, ready to attack. However, the python suddenly stood up and spewed a stream of black flames from its mouth.

Lin Ze dodged swiftly and stabbed the python's belly with the sword in his hand. After a fierce battle, Lin Ze finally defeated the python and obtained a precious demon pill.

He continues to move forward, looking forward to the next challenge and gain.

That day, Lin Ze and Xue Yao hunted until dark, and as usual, they found a cave and prepared to go into space to rest.

After walking in, I found that there was a different world inside the cave. The rock walls were covered with stalactites, and there were some crystal clear jades exposed outside the rocks.

Lin Ze approached the jade stones curiously and found that they were emitting a faint light.

He reached out and touched one of the jade stones, and suddenly felt a strange energy flowing into his body.

Lin Ze was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.

At this time, a low roar came from the depths of the cave, and then a huge figure slowly walked out.

Lin Ze looked closely and found that it was actually a huge stone lion.

The stone lion stared at Lin Ze with sharp eyes and a ball of fire spewed out of its mouth.

Lin Ze dodged the flames and swung his sword at the stone lion. The stone lion moved swiftly, blocking Lin Ze's attack with its claws and knocking it away. Lin Ze crashed into the rock wall, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He stood up with difficulty and looked at the stone lion with a firm gaze. At this moment, he noticed that there was a mysterious necklace hanging around the neck of the stone lion, which was flashing a faint light.

Lin Ze thought that the necklace might be the key to defeating the stone lion. He clenched his sword and rushed towards the stone lion, trying to cut off the necklace. Just as he was about to succeed, the stone lion roared and burst into flames again.

Lin Ze was not afraid. He nimbly avoided the flames, jumped up, and swung his sword with all his strength to cut the necklace. Finally, the necklace broke and fell to the ground. In an instant, the stone lion howled in pain, its body gradually shrank, and finally turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the necklace on the ground. He felt a strong power surge into his heart, and his body became much lighter.

"Xueyao, is this a spiritual stone?!" Lin Ze handed the jade necklace in his hand to Xueyao.

Xue Yao took the necklace, absorbed a little of the spiritual energy in it, and said in surprise, "The essence of the spiritual stone! I didn't expect that such a thing still exists in China under the suppression of national destiny."

Lin Ze looked at the spirit stone essence in his hand excitedly, "This thing must be very valuable, right?"

Xueyao nodded, "This is a rare treasure, priceless. However, we should leave here first, so as not to attract other dangers."

The two were about to leave the cave when they suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside.

"Are there other monsters?" Lin Ze frowned.

Xue Yao's face was solemn, "I'm afraid it's more than that... I sensed a very strong aura."

Lin Ze picked up the sword and looked towards the cave entrance with caution. He saw a group of people in black clothes walking in, led by a man with a stern face.

"Who are you?" Lin Ze asked loudly.

The man looked at them coldly and said, "Hand over the essence of the spirit stone, or don't blame us for being rude."

Lin Ze's heart sank. It seemed like they were in trouble...

Lin Ze tightly grasped the sword in his hand and looked at the other party with vigilance. "We discovered the essence of the spirit stone. Why should we give it to you?"

Xue Yao stood beside Lin Ze and whispered, "These people are here with ill intentions. I'm afraid we are no match for them."

The man sneered, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a penalty. Attack!" The men in black behind him rushed up one after another.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao fought side by side and launched a fierce fight with the men in black, but the other side had more people and gradually gained the upper hand.

At this moment, Lin Ze suddenly discovered a hidden passage on the cave wall. He quickly pulled Xue Yao inside.

The passage was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. Lin Ze and Xue Yao walked forward cautiously. After walking for an unknown period of time, they came to a spacious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone room stood an ancient book with several strange symbols engraved on the cover. Lin Ze walked forward curiously and opened the book, which contained a mysterious method of cultivation.

"This may be the key to our escape from this predicament." Xueyao said.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao decided to practice according to the methods in the book, hoping to improve their strength and deal with the crisis at hand...

Lin Ze and Xue Yao began to concentrate on their cultivation. As time passed, their aura became stronger and stronger. When they opened their eyes, they found that their realms had improved.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the stone chamber, and the group of men in black were chasing after them. Lin Ze and Xue Yao looked at each other, with a flash of determination in their eyes. They walked out of the stone chamber and faced the men in black.

"Do you think you can escape by hiding?" the leading man said with a sneer.

Without saying anything, Lin Ze used the skills he had just learned, and a powerful aura burst out from him. Xue Yao was not to be outdone, and fought the man in black with all her strength.

In the stalemate between the two sides, Lin Ze seized the opportunity and stabbed the leading man in the vitals with a sword. Seeing this, the others panicked and began to flee in all directions.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao successfully repelled the enemy, and they left this mysterious place with the essence of the spirit stone. There are more challenges waiting for them in the future, but they are ready.

After leaving the mysterious place, Lin Ze and Xue Yao continued to explore in the mountains.

One day, they stumbled upon a forgotten village where the people lived a simple life and knew little about the outside world.

Lin Ze and Xue Yao decided to stay here for a while and take a look at the surrounding situation.

In the process of communicating with the villagers, they learned some legends about the treasures in the mountains.

It is said that there is a mysterious cave hidden deep in the mountain, which contains endless treasures and powerful magic weapons.

This legend aroused Lin Ze's interest, and he decided to go explore with Xue Yao.

They followed the direction guided by the villagers and entered the mountains. They encountered various dangers along the way, but they overcame them one by one.

Finally, they found the legendary cave.

However, there is a ferocious guardian beast in front of the cave, preventing anyone from entering.

Can Lin Ze and Xue Yao defeat the guardian beast and uncover the secret of the cave?
