Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

When Lin Ze and Alice finally arrived at the core of the forest after many hardships, an ancient tower stood there quietly like a sleeping beast.

Its appearance is simple and mysterious, as if carrying the vicissitudes of time. However, this tower exudes a creepy atmosphere that makes people shudder.

Lin Ze and Alice approached the tower cautiously, being extremely careful with every step.

When they stepped into the tower's door, a strange aura hit them in the face, making them alert.

The light inside the tower was dim, strange runes flickered on the walls, and the ground was covered with intricate magic circles. It was obvious that there were many unknown dangers hidden here.

The two carefully explored the interior of the tower, remaining alert at all times.

After a difficult journey, they finally came to a secret room.

In this secret room, they found a tattered diary.

This diary seems to have been around for a long time. The paper is yellowed and brittle, but the writing is still clearly visible.

Lin Ze and Alice couldn't wait to flip through the diary, hoping to find key clues about the evil wizard.

Just as they were about to leave the tower, an accident happened.

The entire tower suddenly began to shake violently, as if a major earthquake had occurred.

Immediately afterwards, a dark light shot out from the top of the tower, carrying endless evil power, and attacked Lin Ze and Alice directly.

Faced with this sudden attack, Lin Ze did not hesitate to cast a powerful magic shield to try to block the dark light.

He waved his hands and muttered something, and brilliant magical lights poured out from his body, forming a solid shield.

Alice stood nervously by the side, holding her weapon tightly in her hands, ready to deal with any situation that might arise at any time.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Lin Ze could withstand the attack.

Time passed minute by minute, and the dark light collided violently with Lin Ze's magic shield, emitting bursts of dazzling light.

In this thrilling contest, Lin Ze demonstrated his indomitable will and outstanding magical power.

In the end, he successfully resisted the attack and protected himself and Alice.

The light faded away, and Lin Ze gasped for breath. His magic power was almost exhausted. "What on earth is going on?" Alice asked in horror.

Lin Ze shook his head and said, “I don’t know either, but we must leave here as soon as possible.” As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

When they opened the door, they found that the scene outside had completely changed. The familiar tower had become distorted and illusory, as if they were in another space.

"This is a trap set by the evil magician!" Lin Ze said gritting his teeth.

They were in trouble, and everything before them was full of weirdness and danger. But Lin Ze and Alice did not back down, they decided to face it bravely and find a way out.

Lin Ze and Alice held their weapons tightly and walked carefully along the twisting passage.

The surrounding walls flickered with strange light, casting weird shadows that made people feel creepy.

Their heartbeats were audible in the silent passage, as if warning them of approaching danger.

Every step you take feels like you are stepping on an unknown abyss, and if you are not careful you will end up in an irretrievable situation.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the evil magician.

There was a smug smile on his face and a cunning gleam in his eyes.

The magician laughed loudly, and the sound echoed throughout the space, making people shudder.

"Do you think you can escape my trap easily?" His tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Lin Ze and Alice looked at each other with firm and resolute eyes.

They knew very well that retreating in the face of such a powerful enemy would only put themselves in a desperate situation.

So they grasped their weapons and prepared for this life-and-death battle.

The magician waved the staff in his hand, and a dark energy surged out from him, sweeping towards Lin Ze and Alice.

The two men quickly dodged sideways and waved their weapons in an attempt to resist this powerful force.

The battle broke out instantly, with both sides fighting back and forth, neither giving in.

The magician casts all kinds of evil magic, and elements such as fire, ice, lightning and thunder interweave in the air to form a gorgeous but deadly picture.

Lin Ze and Alice displayed extraordinary agility and swordsmanship skills, successfully resisting the magician's attacks time and time again.

They worked closely together, protected each other, and did not give the enemy any chance to take advantage.

As time passed, the magician's rage grew more intense, and he decided to use even more powerful magic.

In an instant, the entire space fell into chaos, countless energy balls flew around in the air, and the walls began to shake violently.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Lin Ze and Alice had no intention of retreating.

They firmly believe that as long as they persevere, they will eventually find their way home.

In this thrilling battle, they will write their own legendary stories with fearless courage and extraordinary wisdom.

Lin Ze and Alice were concentrating on dealing with the magician's attack, and their breathing gradually became rapid.

Suddenly, Lin Ze discovered a flaw in the magician and rushed towards him without hesitation. Alice understood what he meant and followed closely behind.

Just as they approached the magician, Lin Ze swung his sword with all his strength. The sword energy was like a rainbow, and it went straight to the magician's vital points.

The magician was horrified, and it was too late to dodge. The sword flashed, and the magician screamed and fell to the ground.

However, a strange thing happened. The magician's body gradually dissipated and disappeared into a wisp of black smoke.

Lin Ze and Alice looked at each other in shock. Could it be that what they just defeated was just the magician's illusion?

At this time, the surrounding environment began to change, and a bright light shone down from above. Lin Ze and Alice looked up and saw a huge vortex appearing in the sky.

A mysterious voice came from the vortex: "Congratulations, you have passed the test..."

Lin Ze and Alice looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

They cautiously moved toward the vortex, trying to figure out the intentions of the mysterious voice.

When they approached the vortex, a strong suction force sucked them in. In a blink of an eye, they came to an unfamiliar place, and in front of them was a magnificent castle.

The castle gate slowly opened, and a figure appeared in front of them. He was wearing a golden battle robe and holding a shining spear, like a god of war.

"Welcome to the other world, brave warriors. I am the guardian here. You have passed the test and proved your strength and courage. Now, I will give you strength and help you embark on the journey home." said the guardian.
