Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Sweat had already soaked Lin Ze's clothes, sliding down his forehead and dripping onto the ground.

At this moment, he was extremely exhausted, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, staring at the bloody corpses of monsters lying all over the ground.

He knew very well that this seemingly brutal battle was just a small beginning.

Although he had successfully killed these hideous monsters in front of him, more powerful and dangerous enemies would surely be waiting for him ahead.

Thinking of this, an invisible pressure weighed heavily on his heart.

After adjusting his breathing a little, Lin Zeqiang cheered himself up and dragged his heavy feet towards the corpses of the monsters.

He skillfully turned over each corpse, carefully searching for any useful materials that might be on them.

Sharp claws, tough fur, precious inner elixir...any one of them could become the key to his life in the future, so no matter how hard it is, he dare not slack off.

While searching for spoils, Lin Ze's brain was not idle either.

He silently thought about the various crises that might come next and racked his brains to find ways to deal with them.

This world is full of unknowns and variables, and one can be doomed if one is not careful.

The only way to survive in such a harsh environment and go further is to continuously improve your strength.

Only by making yourself stronger can you be fearless of any difficulties and obstacles.

Suddenly, Lin Ze's sight seemed to be firmly attracted by an invisible magnetic force, unable to move away. Following the attraction, he saw a different corpse.

The corpse was lying in the bloody mess, but it was particularly eye-catching. Compared with the surrounding monster corpses of various shapes and hideous shapes, it emitted a very weak but not negligible light, like a firefly in the dark, although small, it flickered tenaciously.

With a heart full of curiosity and doubt, Lin Ze slowly approached. As the distance got closer, he finally saw the whole picture of the corpse. Surprisingly, there was a crystal clear stone embedded in the belly of the monster! The stone was like a bright star, lying quietly in the belly of the monster, emitting a charming and mysterious luster.

Lin Ze carefully reached out his hand and gently touched the stone. The moment his fingertips touched the stone, a powerful energy wave surged like a tide, instantly sweeping the entire space. Lin Ze couldn't help but feel ecstatic - he knew that he had discovered a rare treasure in the world!

However, fate always seems to like to deal a heavy blow to people when they are most proud. Just as Lin Ze was immersed in the joy of obtaining the treasure, a low and terrifying roar suddenly came from all around. This sound was like the roar of evil spirits from the Nine Nether Hell, which made people's eardrums hurt.

Lin Ze was startled, and suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. In the distance, he saw dust flying, and a group of monsters with larger size and more ferocious appearance were rushing towards him like a storm! Each of these monsters was dozens of meters tall, with bulging muscles, and sharp fangs and claws shining coldly in the sun, which made people shudder.

Faced with such a critical situation, Lin Ze did not hesitate at all. He quickly put the extremely precious gem into his arms, then turned around and faced the group of menacing monsters. After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and concentrated his mind to mobilize all the hidden strength in his body.

In an instant, a powerful and majestic aura burst out from Lin Ze's body, as hot and violent as a volcanic eruption.

He opened his eyes, a hint of determination flashed in them, and he fearlessly faced the group of rushing beasts, thus beginning a thrilling, fierce battle of life and death.

Lin Ze's figure was as fast as lightning. With a quick sidestep, he easily dodged the ferocious pounce of a huge and aggressive beast. At the same time, the sword in his hand flashed suddenly, and with unparalleled momentum, he slashed fiercely on the huge body of the beast with the force of thunder.

After the beast was hit, it felt unbearable pain and let out a deafening roar, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart. Then, it turned around in anger, opened its bloody mouth again, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced on Lin Ze frantically.

Facing such a fierce attack from the beast, Lin Ze was not afraid. He stepped on the air, his body light and agile, and quickly avoided the fatal attacks like a ghost. At the same time, the long sword in his hand did not stop at all, and continued to swing out like a torrential rain. For a moment, the sword shadows were heavy and intertwined into an airtight light curtain, trapping the beast firmly in it, making it unable to escape.

However, as time went by, the fierce battle consumed Lin Ze's physical strength. Gradually, his breathing began to become more and more rapid, and heavy gasps echoed in the air. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes, but his eyes remained firm and unwavering, staring at the vicious beast in front of him, not daring to slack off.

After a hard and arduous battle, under Lin Ze's persistent and vigorous attack, the giant beast could no longer hold on, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust. Seeing this, Lin Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief. But before he had time to catch his breath and rest, suddenly, more giant beasts appeared around him, and they rushed towards Lin Ze with their fangs and claws bared.

Seeing this group of fierce beasts coming, Lin Ze gritted his teeth without hesitation, endured the fatigue and pain in his body, raised the long sword in his hand again, and rushed into the surging beasts without hesitation...

Lin Ze rushed into the herd, his sword like a dragon, and every time he stabbed, a giant beast would be injured and scream. But after all, two fists are no match for four hands, and he soon had several wounds on his body.

At this moment, a light and shadow came galloping from afar, accompanied by a clear crane cry. It turned out to be Lin Ze's friend Su Yao riding a spiritual crane. Su Yao waved her hands, and several spiritual talismans flew out, turning into blazing flames and rushing towards the beasts. Suddenly, many giant beasts were burned and screamed.

"Lin Ze, I'm here to help you!" Su Yao shouted. Lin Ze was overjoyed, and the two fought back to back. Lin Ze was responsible for close combat against the approaching beast, while Su Yao released spells to attack from a distance.

However, there were too many giant beasts, seemingly endless. Lin Ze felt his arms ache and almost lost strength. Suddenly, he remembered what his master had said, that the giant beasts were afraid of water.
