Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

However, Lin Ze knew that things were not that simple. He held the bead tightly and looked at the runes on it carefully, and found that the light of the runes was much dimmer than before.

"The power of this bead seems to have been consumed a lot. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Lin Ze said.

Su Yu nodded slightly to show his agreement. Just as he was about to take action, suddenly, the originally calm space around him began to ripple. This wave of fluctuations was like a lake with a stone thrown into it, and the ripples gradually spread out. Then, in the center of the ripples, a black shadow slowly emerged like a ghost. When the black shadow was fully revealed, everyone looked closely and found that it was a mysterious figure wearing a black robe and wrapped tightly from head to toe. Because his face was covered by the shadow, his true appearance could not be seen at all.

"Hmph! You guys were able to crack the traps I carefully set up. I really underestimated you." The mysterious man's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, icy and chilling, making people shudder.

Seeing this, Su Yu quietly hid the extremely precious bead in his hand behind his back without making a sound. At the same time, he stared intently at the mysterious man in front of him, and asked with a wary look on his face: "Who are you? Why did you set up such a sinister and cruel trap here to deal with us?"

Facing Su Yu's question, the mysterious man just laughed coldly and replied: "Haha, as for who I am, it doesn't really matter. What really matters is that today, no matter what, you must leave the bead to me obediently! Otherwise... the consequences are not something you can afford!"

Hearing this, Su Yu and Lin Ze beside him looked at each other, and they understood instantly - at this moment, there must be no retreat or compromise! Su Yu took the lead in launching an attack without hesitation, and all the remaining spiritual power in his body gathered into his palm like a flood. Then, with a wave of his arm, a sharp light wrapped in the power of destroying the world rushed straight towards the mysterious man.

At the same time, Lin Ze, who was standing on the side, was naturally unwilling to be outdone. He seized the opportunity, flashed, and rushed towards the mysterious man from the side like a flash of lightning, launching a fierce pincer attack on him.

However, what no one expected was that the mysterious man had obviously underestimated the strength and determination of Su Yu and Lin Ze. Facing the sudden and well-coordinated joint attack from the two, the mysterious man seemed a little flustered at first. Although he managed to resist the first few waves of fierce attacks in a hurry, he was still unable to withstand the continuous strong pressure. Finally, after taking a few more moves, the mysterious man suddenly let out a roar, and then his whole body turned into a ball of billowing black smoke in an instant, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go!" Seeing the mysterious man running away, Su Yu shouted this sentence without hesitation. Before he finished speaking, he took the lead and ran quickly in a certain direction with Lin Ze. Soon, the two of them completely merged into this boundless dark space, leaving behind only the field that had just experienced a fierce battle, and gradually restored the tranquility and peace of the past.

Su Yu and Lin Ze ran all the way, and they didn't know how long they had been running when an ancient stone door suddenly appeared in front of them. The door was engraved with strange runes and emitted a faint light.

"There may be some danger behind this door, but it may also contain clues to leaving here." Lin Ze said in a low voice.

Su Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care about that anymore. We have no other choice." As he said that, he injected the little spiritual power he had left into the stone door, trying to open it.

At this critical moment, the heavy and mysterious stone door, as if driven by some unknown force, began to slowly open. As the stone door moved, an extremely strong and irresistible suction suddenly came! This suction force was like an invisible giant hand, tightly grasping the two people, leaving them no room for resistance, and they were sucked in involuntarily.

After entering the stone gate, they saw a strange space beyond their imagination. Everything here seemed so strange and strange that it was overwhelming. They saw all kinds of crystals floating around, shining with strange light. These crystals were as dazzling as the bright stars in the night sky. They were large or small, and of different shapes. Some were as round and smooth as gemstones, while others had sharp edges and corners. Some emitted soft white light, while others shone with deep blue light or mysterious purple light... The whole space became like a dream because of these glowing crystals.

However, just as the two were still immersed in the shock brought by this wonderful scene, a deep and rich voice came from the crystals. This voice seemed to come from ancient times, with an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression: "You ignorant humans dare to trespass into this place that should not be set foot. But since you are here, you must accept the severe test I set. Only by passing the test are you qualified to leave this place, otherwise you will sink here forever!"

As soon as the words fell, the crystals that were originally floating quietly in the air suddenly changed dramatically! They seemed to be endowed with life, and they turned into spiritual creatures of various shapes, rushing towards Su Yu and Lin Ze with their fangs and claws bared. Faced with this sudden change, Su Yu and Lin Ze did not dare to be negligent, and quickly stood back to back, ready to face this fierce battle of life and death.

Lin Ze looked at the spiritual creatures that were pouring in, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said helplessly: "Oh, it seems we have to fight hard again this time!" After that, he took a deep breath, tightly gripped the weapon in his hand, and looked ahead with a firm gaze.

Su Yu, who was standing aside, felt an invisible pressure like a mountain crushing him, as if to crush his entire body to the ground. However, facing this overwhelming pressure, Su Yu did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

He took a deep breath and clenched his hands into fists. Because he was using too much force, the joints were slightly white due to poor blood circulation. Those clenched fists seemed to contain endless strength and courage, ready to burst out at any time.

At this moment, Su Yu raised his head, looked firmly at the predicament in front of him, and responded loudly in a determined and fearless tone: "That's right! Since it has come to this, we have no choice but to fight desperately! No matter what difficulties and obstacles are waiting for us ahead, even if it is a sea of ​​fire and swords, we must fight our way out!" His voice echoed in this space for a long time, as if injecting a shot of adrenaline into the people around him.
