Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

When everyone saw this scene, their morale, which had been low, instantly rose! Everyone used all their skills and worked together to launch a fierce attack on the remaining fire elves. For a moment, shouts of killing, magic lights, and the sound of weapons colliding resounded throughout the battlefield.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the Fire Demon hiding in the dark was unwilling to be defeated so easily. It roared and stepped onto the battlefield in person. The Fire Demon's huge body radiated blazing flames, as if it wanted to burn everything around it.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Lin Ze tightly grasped the crystal ball shining with mysterious light in his hand, calmly observed the Flame Demon's every move, and quickly commanded his companions around him to encircle the Flame Demon from both sides.

Although the Flame Demon was strong, it was ultimately unable to withstand the simultaneous attacks from two directions. It was caught between two directions, and gradually revealed its weakness. Lin Ze, who had been looking for an opportunity, naturally would not miss this perfect opportunity. He concentrated all his strength, gathered it in his palm, and then suddenly launched a full-strength attack at the Flame Demon's weakness.

There was a loud bang, and the huge body of the Flame Demon fell straight into the rolling magma like a kite with a broken string. With the disappearance of the Flame Demon, peace finally returned to the battlefield.

After this fierce battle, Lin Ze and his companions were exhausted. They found a relatively safe place to rest and adjust their condition. After a short rest, they mustered up their courage again and marched towards the deeper part of this mysterious area with firm steps. No one knew what kind of thrilling challenge would be waiting for them at the next corner.

When they turned the next corner, an ancient and huge stone gate appeared in front of them.

The stone gate is engraved with all kinds of strange runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

Lin Ze walked forward cautiously, approaching the mysterious runes, staring at them intently, as if trying to see through the complex lines and patterns to see the secrets hidden in them. Each rune emitted a faint light, as if telling a story from long ago.

Just as Lin Ze was thinking hard about how to solve the mystery of the stone door, the magician Ellie in the team came over lightly. Her beautiful and deep eyes were also fixed on the runes. After a moment, she said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, these runes are more like an ancient sealing spell. To open this stone door, I am afraid that a specific magical fluctuation is needed."

Hearing this, everyone immediately gathered around the stone gate and began to try various ways of injecting magic power. Some people gently pressed their palms on the runes and slowly injected their magic power; others waved their staffs, guiding the magic power to form gorgeous rays of light that shot towards the stone gate. For a moment, the various colors of light intertwined, making the whole scene like a dream.

However, after some efforts, the stone door still did not move. Just when everyone was feeling a little frustrated, suddenly, the stone door flashed a dazzling light! This strong light illuminated the darkness around, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes. Then, only a low roar was heard, and the stone door began to slowly open.

As the stone door gradually opened, a fresh and strange breath blew in. Everyone looked closely and saw an amazing and bright space inside the door. Countless crystals floated in the air like stars, shining with charming light. These crystals were of different sizes and shapes, some were as round and smooth as gems, and some were as sharp as ice spikes.

But just as everyone was immersed in this beautiful scene, an unexpected danger quietly arrived. Some transparent spirits quickly emerged from the crystal like ghosts! Their bodies were erratic and extremely fast, and they pounced on the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"Be careful!" Lin Ze was quick and shouted loudly. Hearing his warning, everyone came to their senses in an instant and immediately formed a defensive formation. However, these spirits were extremely flexible and easily avoided people's attacks.

Facing such a difficult enemy, Lin Ze frowned and his brain worked rapidly. Soon, he noticed that these spirits seemed to have an instinctive fear of strong light. He was moved and remembered the crystal ball he had accidentally obtained before.

Without any hesitation, Lin Ze quickly reached into his arms and took out the crystal ball. The moment he held the crystal ball, a strong force surged into his heart. He lifted the crystal ball with force, and the crystal ball immediately released an extremely strong light, like a scorching sun shining in the sky.

The spirits were frightened by the sudden strong light, screaming in pain, and then retreating back into the crystal at an even faster speed. The originally tense and fierce battle scene calmed down in an instant, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxed. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with both relief for surviving the disaster and anticipation for the next exploration journey. After a short rest, the group carefully stepped into the depths of this mysterious space...

The further they walked, the colder and damper the air became, and the road became more rugged. As they walked, a huge bottomless pit appeared in front of them, and a cold blue light flickered on the pit wall. Just as everyone was puzzled, Ellie exclaimed: "It seems that there is a strong magical fluctuation down there!"

Lin Ze bent down carefully, reached out to pick up a stone at his feet, weighed it, and threw it hard into the bottomless pit.

The stone drew an arc in the air and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone waited with bated breath. After a long time, they finally heard a dull sound of landing from the bottom of the pit. The sound seemed to come from another world, which made people shudder.

At this moment, without any warning, a huge claw suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the pit! This claw was as hard as steel, and covered with sharp barbs, flashing a terrifying light under the weak light. It grabbed a team member who was closer to the edge of the pit with lightning speed. The team member was frightened by the sudden attack and his face turned pale, and he had no time to react.

At the critical moment, Lin Ze was quick-witted and muttered something, instantly casting a powerful wind magic. An invisible wind force roared out like a giant dragon, tightly wrapped around the team member's body, and then forcibly pulled him back to a safe area.
