Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze gently turned the flute in his hand, and in an instant, a faint halo appeared around it, as beautiful and mysterious as a dream.

Seeing this, the men in black rushed forward without hesitation, trying to subdue the other party quickly with their numerical advantage. But the mysterious man just calmly shook the flute in his hand a few times, and then a series of sharp sound waves shot out like sharp arrows.

Accompanied by screams, the men in black who rushed forward were hit and fell to the ground one after another.

I originally thought that this battle would be over soon, but at this moment, the sky suddenly became dark, as if covered by a huge black curtain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise, and an extremely huge black claw suddenly stretched out from the thick clouds and grabbed the people below fiercely.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, even the usually calm and composed mysterious man was horrified and shouted, "Oh no! This is the phantom of the mythical beast guarding the ruins. How could it appear so early?"

At this moment, facing this sudden and extremely powerful enemy, everyone present could only fight hastily and frantically.

Lin Ze gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "I must not fall here today." He took a deep breath and injected the spiritual power in his body into the flute frantically. The flute shone brightly, and a gorgeous light shield was propped up above everyone's heads.

The giant claws of the phantom of the mythical beast slammed on the light shield, making an earth-shaking sound, and the light shield was instantly on the verge of collapse.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.

I saw countless runes emerging from his body and flying towards the phantom of the divine beast.

The rune was attached to the phantom, and a raging flame suddenly ignited, but the phantom of the divine beast was not affected at all. Instead, it became even more angry and roared to the sky.

Lin Ze's eyes flashed, and he remembered the records in the ancient books, and shouted loudly: "Attack its eyes, that is its weak point!"

When everyone heard this, they all used their strongest moves to attack the eyes of the phantom of the mythical beast.

For a moment, all kinds of light gathered together and rushed towards the huge eyes.

The phantom of the mythical beast felt pain and retracted its claws, and the sky gradually became bright again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could relax for long, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if a greater crisis was about to come.

At this moment, the ground cracked and an ancient and huge stone platform slowly rose from it.

The stone platform is engraved with complex and incomprehensible runes, emitting bursts of cold aura.

The mysterious man said solemnly: "This stone platform must be the key to the entrance of the ruins, but it seems that it will take many tests to open it."

Lin Ze held the flute tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing great determination. He shouted loudly: "No matter how difficult the situation is, we must not retreat, we must give it a try!"

After saying that, he took a deep breath and led everyone to approach the stone platform cautiously.

However, just as they came into contact with the air around the stone platform, a suffocatingly powerful invisible pressure suddenly hit them, like a heavy mountain pressing on everyone's heart.

In an instant, many illusory figures appeared out of thin air on the originally calm stone platform.

These figures were looming, erratic like ghosts, but they held sharp blades in their hands, and pounced on everyone at lightning speed. Facing this sudden attack, Lin Ze did not hesitate to put the flute to his lips and blew it hard.

As the melodious flute sounded, sound waves quickly condensed into solid sharp blades, whistling towards those illusory figures.

At the same time, other companions also displayed their own unique skills and launched a thrilling and life-and-death battle with these strange enemies.

However, what makes people feel despair is that these illusory figures seem to be endless and endless. No matter how hard everyone resists, they still keep coming up.

Gradually, everyone began to lose strength, their movements became slow, the situation became increasingly unfavorable, and everyone was struggling.

Lin Ze was extremely anxious, beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. He stared with wide eyes and looked around anxiously, trying to find a way out.

Just then, a tiny flash caught his attention.

The flashing spot was located in a corner of the stone platform, flickering with a faint light.

Lin Ze's heart moved, and he thought to himself: Maybe this is the key to solving the dilemma! So, while he continued to play the flute to resist the crazy attack of the illusory figure, he moved his feet with difficulty, little by little, approaching the flashing point.

Finally, after some hard work, Lin Ze successfully reached the corner of the stone platform and reached out to touch the slightly flickering light.

At the moment his fingertips touched the light spot, the entire stone platform suddenly burst into a dazzling light, so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Then, those illusory figures that were originally baring their fangs and claws disappeared without a trace in an instant, like smoke blown away by a gust of wind.

Then, the stone platform slowly opened, and a deep staircase appeared before everyone.

From the depths of the stairs, a mysterious and alluring power wave came faintly, as if calling them to go deeper into it to explore unknown secrets.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a brief moment of astonishment, excitement appeared in their eyes.

Lin Ze was the first to step onto the stairs, and the others followed without hesitation.

As we went deeper, the air around us became freezing cold, and strange runes flashed on the walls from time to time, like ancient warnings.

When you reach the end of the stairs, a huge stone door blocks the way. The door is engraved with various rare birds and animals and complex formations.

After careful observation, Lin Ze found a depression on the door, the shape of which was exactly the same as the shining spot on the stone platform.

He took out the crystal that the flashing light had transformed into and put it into the depression.

The stone door slowly opened, and golden light shone inside.

But what came into view was not treasure, but a huge magic circle. In the center of the circle was suspended an ancient book emitting powerful magic.

Just as everyone was marveling at the sight, the magic circle suddenly activated, and rays of light shot towards everyone.

Lin Ze realized that this was the final test and shouted, "Be careful!" Everyone hurriedly used their internal energy to resist and worked together to fight against the light attack.

With everyone working together, they finally broke through the defense line and came to the ancient book. As long as they deciphered this ancient book, they might be able to uncover the deepest secrets hidden in this continent.

Lin Ze stretched out his hand and touched the ancient book carefully.

The moment his fingers touched the cover of the ancient book, a huge stream of information flooded into his mind.

This force was like a surging tide, pouring into Lin Ze's body with overwhelming force. In an instant, he felt as if his head was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a sharp pain came over him, as if it was about to explode. The pain was indescribable, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing deep into his brain at the same time.

The people nearby were all horrified when they saw this scene. They stared at Lin Ze with wide eyes and horror, and some even stepped back a few steps involuntarily, fearing that the terrible power would affect them.

However, just when everyone thought that Lin Ze was about to give up, he clenched his teeth tightly, veins popped out on his forehead, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, but he still held on tenaciously. Because he knew in his heart that if he chose to give up at this moment, all the efforts he had made before would be wasted.

As time passed, the force that almost made people collapse gradually stabilized.
