Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze stopped involuntarily and looked up at the statue, with a deep feeling of awe in his heart.

He stared at the statue quietly, as if he could feel the powerful power and endless wisdom it contained.

"Maybe there is a secret to saving the world hidden here." Lin Ze muttered to himself. This thought suddenly came to his mind, making his heart beat faster.

At this moment, a low and dull roar suddenly rolled out from the depths of the mysterious and profound temple.

The sound was like the roar of an ancient beast that had been imprisoned for a long time, carrying endless anger and depression.

It was like a heavy, muffled thunder that exploded in the air with overwhelming force, causing the entire temple to tremble slightly.

The ancient walls seemed unable to withstand the impact of the powerful sound waves, and some fine dust fell down; the originally calm ground now seemed to have turned into a turbulent sea, constantly heaving; even the huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling was shaking from side to side, as if it would fall down at any time.

The team members were concentrating on exploring this mysterious temple and had no idea that such a shocking roar would suddenly sound.

Their hearts suddenly shrank, and they were instantly enveloped by a strong fear. Everyone's face turned pale, and their eyes revealed an undisguised panic. Some people stood there stiffly, at a loss; others stepped back unconsciously, trying to stay away from the source of the terrible sound.

They all gripped their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly.

"Prepare for battle!" Lin Ze gave the order in a low voice. His eyes were fixed on the direction where the voice came from, and his muscles were tense, ready to deal with any possible danger.

In the darkness, a huge figure gradually emerged.

I saw a huge monster slowly walking out of the shadows. It was covered with a layer of black scales as hard as iron, reflecting a cold luster in the faint light.

The monster opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and a hot breath spewed out of its mouth.

It waved its thick and powerful forelimbs and pounced towards the crowd with its fangs and claws bared.

Lin Ze's figure flashed like a ghost, and the monster's tiger-like pounce was in vain. In a flash, Lin Ze quickly drew out the long sword on his back, and with a flash of cold light, he stabbed the monster straight with the long sword. In an instant, the sword light flashed, like a meteor across the night sky, with an extremely sharp momentum, as if it was going to split the monster in front of it in two.

The monster was very agile, and it easily dodged Lin Ze's swift attack by turning its body to one side. Then, it suddenly raised its strong and powerful tail, like a steel whip, and swept towards Lin Ze with a whistling sound of wind. But Lin Ze's reaction was also very fast. He exerted force with his legs and jumped up, jumping over the monster's fierce attack as lightly as a flying bird.

At the same time, Lin Ze's teammates were not idle either. They each displayed their best skills. For a moment, all kinds of dazzling skills intertwined together, making it difficult to take it all in. There were flames burning, frost and cold air overflowing, and thunder and lightning roaring... The entire temple was suddenly illuminated by light, sword energy crisscrossed, and shouts and roars resounded through the sky.

Everyone present tried their best to defeat this enemy who was so powerful that it was beyond imagination. However, despite the overwhelming attacks, the monster was as strong as a wall of iron. Not only was its skin thick, but its defense was also incredibly strong. Those seemingly powerful ordinary attacks only caused a few sparks when they landed on it, and could not cause any substantial damage to it.

Seeing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but grit his teeth and thought to himself: It seems that ordinary means are unlikely to work. Only by using my special trick can I have a chance of winning! Thinking of this, he closed his eyes slightly, held his breath, and began to mobilize the vast spiritual power in his body with all his strength. As the spiritual power continued to gather on the long sword in his hand, the sword gradually emitted a layer of dazzling light, like a scorching sun shining in the sky.

"Break it!" Lin Ze shouted angrily, and at the same time, he tightly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and chopped the monster's head with all his strength. The power of this sword was so powerful that it seemed to be able to create the world!

When the monster felt the overwhelming pressure from Lin Ze's sword, fear flashed in its big copper-bell eyes, but it was not to be outdone. It quickly raised its huge and sharp claws in an attempt to block the powerful blow.

But what the monster never expected was that Lin Ze's strength was so unfathomable! The sword blade flashing with cold light was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, easily cutting off its proud claw. With a crisp "click", the broken claw flew out, splattering a string of blood in the air. Then, the sword blade continued to move forward, and cut deeply into the monster's hard body at lightning speed.

Instantly, the monster was severely wounded and in great pain, and it let out a deafening roar. This roar seemed to be able to tear the sky apart, and it was terrifying. At the same time, it suddenly exuded a stronger and deeper dark aura, surging like billowing black smoke, spreading in all directions.

However, facing this situation, Lin Ze had no intention of retreating. He gritted his teeth and withstood the strong pressure coming at him. At the same time, he kept urging the powerful spiritual power in his body to continuously inject it into the long sword in his hand. With his full strength, the sword blade sank into the monster's body inch by inch until it completely penetrated.

Finally, with a dull roar, the monster's mountain-like body could no longer support itself and collapsed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Seeing this scene, Lin Ze's companions behind him suddenly burst into thunderous cheers. They danced with excitement, venting their inner joy and celebrating this hard-won victory.

At this time, Lin Ze was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat sliding down his forehead and soaking his clothes. But he didn't bother to wipe the sweat off, just staring at the monster that had fallen in front of him, with a full sense of accomplishment in his heart. However, just a moment later, he came to his senses and knew that this battle was just the beginning, and there were more unknown challenges waiting for them ahead. So, he quickly put his mood in order, adjusted his breathing, and then turned around, standing shoulder to shoulder with his companions, looking firmly into the distance, and resolutely preparing to face the many difficulties in the future.

Lin Ze raised the sword in his hand and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, we can't let our guard down yet. This continent is full of dangers, and there are more powerful enemies waiting for us ahead!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, inspiring everyone.

After hearing the call, everyone shouted in unison without hesitation, expressing their willingness to follow to the end.

They all had firm expressions, their hands tightly grasping various weapons, and the sharp blades flashed cold light in the sun.

There was a raging fire of fighting spirit in everyone's eyes, as if it could burn away all the difficulties and obstacles before them in an instant.
