Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

After passing through the dense and deep forest that blocked out the sun, they seemed to have entered another world.

It is so quiet and mysterious here that one can't help but feel awe.

Just as everyone was moving forward cautiously, suddenly, a faint but eye-catching light shone from the entrance of a cave not far ahead.

This light is like a bright lamp in the dark night, attracting people's attention and igniting the fire of curiosity deep in everyone's hearts.

Faced with this sudden discovery, Lin Ze made a decision without hesitation - he would go into the cave himself to explore the mystery.

So, he led his teammates behind him and walked step by step towards the entrance of the cave that exuded a mysterious atmosphere.

The moment they stepped into the cave, an old and unfamiliar smell hit them in the face.

With the faint light, they were surprised to find that the entire cave wall was covered with densely packed mysterious runes of various shapes.

These runes are like ancient codes, seemingly hiding endless secrets and powers.

At the end of the cave, there stood a huge and tightly closed stone door, like an insurmountable barrier, blocking their way forward.

Lin Ze walked forward and looked at the stone door carefully.

Soon, he noticed an obvious dent on the door, the shape of which was exactly the same as the jade pendant he was wearing. With a hint of anticipation in his heart, he gently took out the jade pendant and carefully placed it in the dent.

At this moment, a miracle happened! The stone door began to move slowly, accompanied by a low roar, and gradually opened.

As the stone door opened, a bright and wide passage appeared before everyone.

The passage extends straight forward, as if leading to an unknown distance.

The team members' faces showed ecstatic expressions because they knew that they had finally found a way out of this predicament.

Under the leadership of Lin Ze, this hopeful team resolutely embarked on this journey.

They walked away with firm steps, their figures gradually blending into the endless darkness... However, no one knew what challenges and opportunities were waiting for them, but at this moment, everyone had a vision and courage for the future in their hearts.

The passage was filled with a rotten smell and strange lights flickered on the walls.

Lin Ze and his group were walking vigilantly when suddenly, a sharp cry came from the front.

They walked briskly, their feet were full of energy, and their eyes were looking forward eagerly.

Suddenly, a huge monster stood in the middle of the road, blocking their way.

This monster is so huge that it looks like a small hill and is intimidating to look at.

Its scales, as hard as steel, flashed with cold light, as if indestructible; and from its bloody mouth, raging flames continuously spewed out, and the hot breath hit people in the face, making people feel endless fear and oppression.

Facing such a terrifying enemy, Lin Ze showed no fear.

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm and resolute.

With a roar, he rushed towards the monster like an arrow, his body as nimble as a flying swallow and his momentum as a tiger descending from the mountain.

In an instant, sword lights flashed, sword energy crisscrossed, and a thrilling life-and-death battle with the monster began.

Sparks flew and the shouts of killing were deafening.

The two sides were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

But Lin Ze was not discouraged. He gritted his teeth, tried his best, and put into practice all he had learned.

Finally, in a brilliant attack, he found the monster's weakness and stabbed it hard in the vital part with his sword.

The monster was severely injured, and let out a shrill howl, then fell to the ground with a bang.

The sound resounded through the sky and echoed in the air for a long time.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense mood was slightly relieved.

They looked at each other and then continued walking along the passage at a brisk pace.

The further we move forward, the brighter the light around us becomes.

At first it was just a faint light, but gradually it became brighter and brighter.

Finally, when they stepped out of the passage, the view in front of them suddenly opened up - what appeared before them was a magnificent paradise that looked like a fairyland!

Here, flowers are blooming, grass is green, birds are singing happily, and streams are gurgling, just like the sound of nature.

The fresh and pleasant air permeates the air, refreshing the heart.

The team members were deeply attracted by this dreamlike beauty, and their faces were filled with irrepressible excitement.

They all exclaimed: "We finally escaped from danger!"

However, at this moment, a trace of doubt surged in Lin Ze's heart: Is this place really the exit? Or is it another bottomless trap?

After careful consideration, he resolutely decided to lead the team to continue exploring in depth to find the answer that truly belonged to them.

Lin Ze led the team to stroll in this paradise. They were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, but they did not forget to be vigilant. As they walked, they came to an ancient stone bridge, under which was a clear river.

"It looks like there is no other road ahead. It seems that the only way to move forward is to cross the bridge in front of me." Lin Ze muttered to himself as he carefully stepped onto the ancient and slightly weathered stone bridge.

As everyone gradually moved deeper into the center of the bridge, something unexpected happened - the originally relatively stable bridge surface suddenly began to shake violently as if controlled by some mysterious force.

At the same time, the river water under the bridge, which was originally as calm as a mirror, seemed to be disturbed, and instantly became turbulent and splashing.

"Everyone must be more careful! Keep steady!" Seeing this, Lin Ze shouted loudly without hesitation to warn.

After hearing the captain's warning, the rest of the team members reacted quickly, stretched out their hands and tightly grasped the cold and hard handrails on both sides of the stone bridge, trying their best to maintain their balance to avoid falling into the water.

However, just as everyone was concentrating on dealing with this sudden change, an even more shocking scene occurred: a giant python of extremely large size suddenly jumped high out of the river, opened its bloody mouth and pounced straight towards them!

Faced with such a fierce attack, Lin Ze was not afraid at all. The sharp sword in his hand drew a dazzling cold light in the air, and then he chopped at the giant python coming towards him with lightning speed.

At the same time, the other team members did not dare to slack off at all. They picked up the various weapons they carried with them and worked together to engage in this thrilling life-and-death battle.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were intertwined, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky.
