Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

After leaving the spiritual spring, Lin Ze heard on his way back that a mysterious ruin had appeared nearby. It was said that there were endless treasures and secret manuals of peerless magic skills hidden there, attracting many martial arts masters. Lin Ze thought that now that his strength had greatly increased, he might be able to gain something, so he also went to explore the ruins.

When we arrived at the entrance of the ruins, we saw that it was covered with various ancient runes and prohibitions.

Many people have tried to crack it but failed.

Lin Ze stared at the mysterious and ancient runes with his eyes wide open, thinking about the connection between them. After careful observation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that these runes had many similarities with some symbols he had seen before at the Lingquan.

So, Lin Ze took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and let his restless heart gradually calm down. Then, he began to mobilize the magical spiritual power perception ability obtained from the spiritual spring, trying to find a way to enter the ruins from these similar runes.

As time passed, beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Lin Ze's forehead, but he never gave up. Finally, his efforts paid off, and he successfully cracked the mystery and found the correct path to enter this mysterious ruins.

The moment Lin Ze stepped into the ruins, a chilling and cold aura instantly hit him, as if it was going to swallow him whole. It was pitch black all around, with only a few faint lights flashing occasionally, which made people shudder.

Despite this, Lin Ze still suppressed his fear and moved forward cautiously. Suddenly, he heard a fierce fighting sound. Out of curiosity and alertness, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound.

When he got closer, Lin Ze took a closer look and saw two groups of people holding weapons, engaging in a thrilling fight for a treasure that was emitting dazzling light. The flashes of swords and the sounds of killing resounded throughout the ruins.

Lin Ze had no intention of getting involved in this dispute. Just as he was about to leave quietly, the treasure seemed to have sensed something and suddenly burst out with an extremely strange power, quickly enveloping him like a transparent light curtain.

In an instant, all the people who were fighting stopped their actions and turned to look at Lin Ze who was wrapped in the power of the treasure. Faced with this sudden change, Lin Ze was in great pain, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to hold the sword tightly in his hand and concentrate on being alert to possible attacks from the people around him.

However, something unexpected happened again. In full view of everyone, the treasure actually penetrated into Lin Ze's body at lightning speed like a living thing! At the same time, Lin Ze felt a surging, unrivaled force pouring into his limbs like a tide, causing his meridians to swell and ache.

Before the others present could come to their senses, Lin Ze had already clenched his teeth, circulated his internal energy, and rushed away like a flash of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the depths of the ruins.

Lin Ze fled to a relatively safe corner deep in the ruins, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to regulate his breathing.

The power brought by the treasure was too overbearing, and he had to tame it as soon as possible. After a long time, the raging power in his body was slightly calmed down.

Lin Ze stood up and looked around.

There are many strange statues here, each with a unique posture and expression.

At this moment, an astonishing change suddenly occurred in the originally quiet and silent space! The lifeless eyes of one of the statues actually flickered with a faint light, as if injected with some mysterious vitality. Then, a jaw-dropping scene appeared - the statue actually began to move slowly!

Lin Ze, who was standing not far away, was shocked when he saw this scene. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He subconsciously tightly grasped the sword in his hand and stared at the statue that was gradually approaching him with vigilant eyes.

The statue opened its mouth and uttered a low and hoarse voice: "Outsider, you are carrying something that should not belong to you." Lin Ze knew very well that the other party was referring to the mysterious item that he regarded as a treasure. However, before he could make any response, the statue suddenly stretched out a huge palm and grabbed him fiercely at lightning speed.

Facing such a fierce attack, Lin Ze showed extraordinary agility and reaction speed. He flashed and dodged the statue's giant hand like a ghost, and swung the sword in his hand and chopped at the statue. Unfortunately, when the sword came into contact with the statue, a strong recoil force came along the sword, which made Lin Ze's palm numb. It turned out that the statue was so hard that ordinary attacks could not cause any damage to it.

The statue did not stop because of Lin Ze's attack, but launched more and more frantic rounds of fierce attacks. Lin Ze dodged left and right, exhausted, and gradually felt a little powerless. Seeing that he was about to fall into a desperate situation, at the critical moment, a thought flashed through his mind - the treasure seemed to have a special ability after being integrated into the body. Thinking of this, Lin Ze decided to give it a try and try to mobilize the mysterious power hidden deep in his body.

In an instant, a miracle happened! Lin Ze's whole body suddenly glowed with dazzling light. At the same time, a powerful force surged out of his body like a surging tide, quickly filling his limbs and bones. Feeling this unprecedented powerful force, Lin Ze's confidence doubled. He shouted angrily and rushed towards the statue like a tiger descending from the mountain, then punched it with all his strength.

There was a loud bang as the punch hit the statue. Unbelievably, the seemingly indestructible statue instantly broke into countless pieces and flew everywhere under this earth-shattering blow.

As the statue shattered, the entire ruins began to shake violently, and shocking cracks appeared on the surrounding walls and the ground. Lin Ze knew that this place had become extremely dangerous and he could not stay any longer. So, he turned around without hesitation, relying on his previous deep memory of the internal route of the ruins, plus the magical power given to him by the treasure at this moment, and rushed towards the exit like an arrow from a bow.

After a thrilling life-and-death escape, Lin Ze finally managed to escape from this ruins full of dangers and mysteries. Looking at the entrance of the ruins getting farther and farther behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lin Ze knew that this adventure was just the beginning, and what awaited him would be more unknown challenges and thrilling legendary journeys.
