Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Faced with such a predicament, Lin Ze appeared to be extremely calm.

He calmly examined the surrounding environment, and with his keen observation and rich experience, began to lead everyone to try to find a place that could be sheltered from the wind and sand.

Hard work pays off. After a long search, they finally found a low-lying area on the back of a sand dune.

The terrain here is relatively low, which can provide a safe place to temporarily avoid sandstorms.

After taking a short rest here as if relieved from a heavy burden, the disciples immediately set out on their journey again.

Because they know very well that in this vast sea of ​​sand, time is fleeting like precious life.

If they cannot find an exit and escape from this place as soon as possible, an unpredictable and terrible ending will probably be waiting for them.

So, even though the sun was scorching overhead and their bodies were already exhausted, they still gritted their teeth, dragged their heavy steps, and moved forward step by step with difficulty.

Every step requires tremendous effort and perseverance, and the hardships involved are beyond description in words.

However, no matter what difficulties and obstacles they faced, the persistent belief in their hearts never wavered in the slightest.

Suddenly, a strange light appeared ahead, like an oasis in the desert, bringing a glimmer of hope to people.

An indescribable joy surged in Lin Ze's heart, as if an invisible force was pulling him, prompting him to involuntarily speed up his pace and run towards the place where the light was.

As the distance gradually shortened, they finally saw clearly that it was a door exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

This door stands there quietly like a sleeping giant, and it is densely engraved with all kinds of strange and puzzling symbols and patterns.

Lin Ze couldn't suppress his strong curiosity, and took a few steps forward impatiently, approached the door and began to look at it carefully.

He stared at the obscure symbols intently, racking his brains to unravel the secrets hidden in them.

However, just as he was lost in thought, suddenly, a violent hurricane swept in without warning.

The wind was howling, blowing up yellow sand and dust all over the sky, like a ferocious beast, pouncing at everyone with bared fangs and claws.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and people were blown to and fro, unable to open their eyes.

It was only after the wind and sand finally died down that everyone was able to regain their footing.

At this moment, something unexpected happened - the tightly closed door slowly opened automatically, as if a huge mystery was slowly unfolding before our eyes.

Through the crack in the door, you can see a deep and dark passage inside, which seems to lead to an endless abyss, giving people an inexplicable sense of fear and mystery.

Faced with such a strange scene, Lin Ze did not hesitate at all and resolutely led everyone into this unknown passage.

As soon as you enter, a strong, pungent, stale smell hits you in the face, making it almost impossible to breathe.

They endured the discomfort and moved slowly along the passage with trepidation, being extremely cautious with every step, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

As for what kind of dangers or opportunities are hidden ahead, no one knows.

Lin Ze and his group walked cautiously; the thick fog in the passage greatly restricted their vision.

Suddenly, someone screamed, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a skeleton lying in the middle of the road.

The skeleton was wearing tattered clothes, with some weapons and tools scattered around it.

It seems that the deceased was once an adventurer, but for some reason he was buried here.

Lin Ze went forward and took a closer look, and found that the skeleton was holding a stone slab in its hand, on which seemed to be some words engraved.

He gently picked up the slate and tried to decipher what was written on it.

At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the passage, accompanied by the vibration of the ground, and a strong airflow surged in. Lin Ze knew something was wrong and quickly asked everyone to retreat.

However, it was too late. A huge monster rushed out from the darkness, with its fangs and claws bared, its face hideous, and flames spewing from its mouth, instantly dispersing the team.

Lin Ze gripped his weapon tightly, ready to fight a life-and-death battle with the monster.

Lin Ze suddenly opened his throat and let out a deafening roar. The sound was like a thunderclap, instantly attracting the full attention of the hideous monster.

Immediately afterwards, he was seen as fast as the wind and as sharp as lightning. In an instant, his figure flashed and he pounced on the monster at lightning speed like a ghost.

His speed was so fast that he seemed to have turned into a phantom, leaving the monster with no time to react and it could only watch him approach.

Seeing this, the other team members did not hesitate to display their skills, and cooperated with Lin Ze tacitly, launching a fierce attack on the monster together.

For a moment, the lights of swords and sabers flashed and various colorful skills intertwined together, forming a dazzling and gorgeous scene.

Faced with such a fierce siege, the monster roared angrily, opened its bloody mouth, and continuously spewed out powerful and terrifying force.

But Lin Ze and his teammates showed no fear. They were closely united and cooperated with each other seamlessly, showing indomitable fighting spirit and tenacity.

After a thrilling and exciting battle, the seemingly invincible monster finally couldn't withstand the fierce attack of everyone's concerted efforts and fell to the ground with a bang.

Lin Ze stepped forward and stared at the lifeless body of the monster in front of him. The tension in his heart finally relaxed a little.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something strange - the monster's body began to undergo a strange and inexplicable change!

The monster's body gradually swelled, black lines appeared on its surface, and it emitted a disgusting smell.

Lin Ze's heart trembled violently, his face turned pale instantly, and he instinctively took several steps back quickly.

At this thrilling moment, the lifeless corpse of the monster suddenly exploded without any warning! In an instant, a powerful shock wave surged like a tidal wave, like a ferocious and violent beast, sweeping around with overwhelming force.

Lin Ze and his companions didn't have time to react at all before they were thrown away by this extremely terrifying force.

Their bodies were like kites with broken strings, tumbling and colliding in the air, and finally falling heavily to the ground.

Everyone felt excruciating pain all over their body, as if all the bones in their body were about to fall apart.

After a lot of arduous efforts, Lin Ze and others finally struggled to get up from the ground.

However, when they looked around, they were surprised to find that the environment they were in had changed dramatically.
