Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I have seen similar records in the ancient books of my family. Perhaps we need to find five holy objects to strengthen the seal. The crystal in the body of this demon wolf should be one of them." Su Yu clenched the crystal in his hand, his eyes burning: "What about the other four?"

The two decided to explore the area first. Soon, they found an ancient cave with strange runes carved on the entrance. As soon as they stepped into the cave, a gloomy atmosphere hit them. A low roar came from deep in the cave, as if there was a powerful existence.

Just when he was getting nervous, a little elf flew out, chirping as if conveying some kind of message. Lin Ze used the telepathy spell, and the little elf said, "Are you here for the seal? I know clues to a few other holy objects."

Su Yu was overjoyed and asked for details. The elf pointed to a map on the cave wall, which marked three locations. "This is where the other holy objects may be, but each place is full of dangers."

Su Yu and Lin Ze looked at each other with determination in their eyes. "No matter how dangerous it is, we have to try, otherwise the devil will be born and all living things will be destroyed." After that, they headed towards the first location, and the elves followed behind them, ready to help at any time.

The three of them soon arrived at the first location, which was a valley filled with black flames.

Su Yu tried to throw in a stone, and it was instantly burned to ashes.

Lin Ze frowned, thought for a moment, then took out a piece of ice talisman paper and threw it into the valley. The ice and fire collided with each other, temporarily opening up a path.

The three of them walked carefully along the path. Suddenly, several fire snakes emerged from the ground and pounced towards them.

The elf flapped its wings quickly and sprinkled a layer of fluorescent powder, and the fire snake gradually extinguished when it touched the fluorescent powder.

Continuing to go deeper into the valley, they saw a stone platform with a bead emitting blue light on it. This must be the second holy object.

However, just as Su Yu stretched out his hand to grab the blue bead emitting mysterious light, suddenly, the ground around him began to shake violently. Accompanied by a creepy sound, countless skeleton warriors with white bones and rotten weapons in their hands surged out from all directions like a tide, and instantly surrounded them tightly in the middle.

Facing this sudden change, Su Yu and Lin Ze reacted quickly. They immediately stood back to back, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, and watched the skeleton warriors approaching them vigilantly. The skeleton warriors' empty eye sockets flashed with strange red light. They took stiff and orderly steps, approaching Su Yu and Lin Ze step by step, as if they wanted to eat them alive.

At the same time, the elf that had been following Su Yu was not idle either. It flew swiftly into the air, opened and closed its small mouth, and a dazzling beam of light shot out of its mouth, shooting straight at the dense group of skeleton warriors below. Unfortunately, although the beam of light was powerful, it only dispersed a few skeleton warriors and did not cause any substantial damage to the entire skeleton army.

Seeing that more and more skeleton warriors were about to rush forward, the situation became more critical. At this critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly shouted, and his muscles suddenly tensed up, and an extremely powerful aura burst out from his body. This aura was like a surging wave, sweeping around with Lin Ze as the center. Wherever it went, those originally aggressive skeleton warriors were shocked and retreated one after another, and some even collapsed to the ground, unable to move for a while.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Su Yu did not hesitate to flash and rushed towards the stone platform like an arrow. He arrived in front of the stone platform in a few jumps, and then stretched out his hand and grabbed the coveted blue bead.

However, just as Su Yu grasped the blue bead, a cold mechanical voice sounded in this space: "Intruders, you dare to steal treasures, you will be punished."

Then, there was a continuous buzzing sound, and the originally calm space around suddenly had a strong distortion wave! A series of dark lights suddenly flashed, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into countless thick black iron chains, which suddenly shot out from the endless void like ferocious giant pythons, with a sharp sound of breaking wind, and roared towards Su Yu and Lin Ze.

Seeing this, Lin Ze's face changed greatly. He did not hesitate to flash and rushed to where Su Yu was, swinging his sword vigorously, trying to cut off the black chains one by one. However, surprisingly, every time he successfully cut off a chain, more chains would emerge from the void continuously, as if they were endless.

Just when the two were in trouble, the elf next to them came to their aid again. Its petite body shook slightly, and instantly released a gentle but extremely powerful force. This force was like a transparent shield, quickly wrapping Su Yu and Lin Ze tightly. In an instant, those fierce black iron chains hit the shield, making a series of crisp sounds, but its attack was forcibly resisted.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Su Yu calmed down and began to carefully examine the bead in his hand that was emitting a mysterious blue light. He noticed with keen eyes that the surface of the bead was densely engraved with various strange and obscure runes. Looking at these runes, Su Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a thought came to his mind: Could these runes be related to some ancient formation? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but decide to take a risk and try to activate the bead according to the knowledge of the ancient formation he knew in his memory.

Su Yu took a deep breath, carefully mobilized the last bit of spiritual power in his body, and slowly injected it into the blue bead in his hand. The moment the spiritual power touched the bead, something strange happened! The originally quiet bead suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light, like a bright blue sun, illuminating the entire dark space. At the same time, those black iron chains that were previously arrogant and domineering seemed to have encountered a natural nemesis, and began to tremble involuntarily, and then retreated at an alarming speed.

As the blue light continued to spread, its power became stronger and stronger.

Wherever the light covered, the hideous skeleton warriors instantly disintegrated into fine powder like rocks weathered for thousands of years, and disappeared into thin air. The chilling cold mechanical sound that had been echoing in the ears finally stopped at this moment, and the surroundings returned to deathly silence.

Su Yu and Lin Ze looked at what was happening before their eyes, and both of them had smiles on their faces. They looked at each other, their eyes full of joy, because they knew in their hearts that this thrilling crisis was finally resolved without any danger.
