Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze took cautious steps, step by step, approaching the mysterious stone platform. His eyes were fixed on the depression on the stone platform, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. The shape of the depression perfectly matched the artifact in his hand, as if it existed specifically for it.

At this moment, fragments of memory came flooding back to his mind. These memories were vague, but they seemed to contain some important clues. Some of the scenes were similar to the scenes in front of him, which made Lin Ze's heart move.

However, just as he was hesitating whether to put the artifact into the depression, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed. The originally warm and pleasant air suddenly became freezing cold, and the coldness crawled up his spine like a little snake. Then, a group of ghosts in white robes slowly floated over. Their faces were as pale as paper, without any blood, and their empty eyes stared straight at Lin Ze.

The ghosts slowly circled around Lin Ze, and the cold air they emitted continuously invaded Lin Ze's body, making him shiver. Faced with such a strange and terrifying scene, Lin Ze clenched his teeth, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. But deep in his heart, a strong intuition told him that he should trust his own judgment.

Finally, after a short and intense ideological struggle, Lin Ze took a deep breath and quickly put the artifact in his hand into the depression of the stone platform. In an instant, a dazzling light suddenly shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire space. The ghosts were illuminated by this sudden light and immediately let out a shrill scream. Along with the screams, their figures gradually faded and finally dissipated into nothingness.

At the same time, the stone platform began to rise slowly, and gradually deformed under the light, and finally turned into a portal with strange runes flashing. Standing in front of the door, Lin Ze knew that what was waiting for him might be another difficult challenge. But he had no intention of retreating, and resolutely stepped into the portal, and set off again towards the new world full of unknowns without hesitation.

After passing through the portal, Lin Ze felt dizzy and then found himself in a blazing desert. The sky was filled with yellow sand and the high temperature was almost enough to melt people. Lin Ze looked around and found a huge pyramid-like building looming in the distance.

He walked towards the pyramid and was hit by a sandstorm on the way.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in his meridians, gathered them on the surface of his body to form a thin shield, and struggled to resist the flying sandstorms. Every step seemed to be on the tip of a knife, but he relied on his tenacious perseverance and unyielding spirit to approach the pyramid step by step.

Finally, after going through untold hardships, Lin Ze successfully arrived at the foot of the pyramid. However, before he had time to catch his breath, the moment he stepped into the entrance of the pyramid, an ancient and mysterious powerful force rushed towards him like a surging tide. This force, with the vicissitudes of time and the weight of history, made people feel awe.

After entering the pyramid, Lin Ze found that it was filled with all kinds of intricate traps. From time to time, sharp spikes would shoot out from the ground without warning, and if you were not careful, you would be pierced; there were also countless hidden arrows on both sides of the wall. Once the trap was triggered, these deadly arrows would fly all over the sky. Faced with such a dangerous environment, Lin Ze did not dare to be careless. He concentrated on observing the movements around him, moved his feet carefully, and flexibly avoided one danger after another.

At this moment, a low and terrifying roar suddenly sounded, shaking the entire space slightly. Lin Ze's heart tightened, and he looked in the direction of the sound, only to see an extremely huge sand beast slowly walking towards him with heavy steps. The body of this sand beast was as huge as a hill, and every muscle in its body was full of explosive power, exuding a chilling aura.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Lin Ze had no intention of retreating. He clenched his fists tightly, secretly exerted his strength, and instantly stimulated the powerful power contained in the artifact hidden deep in his body. For a moment, the light shone everywhere, and the artifact burst into a dazzling light. Lin Ze shouted, jumped up, and pounced on the sand beast.

A thrilling battle began. The sand beast waved its strong and powerful claws, bringing up gusts of wind, and slapped Lin Ze fiercely. Lin Ze was as light as a swallow, dodging left and right, skillfully avoiding the fierce attacks of the sand beast again and again. At the same time, he seized the opportunity to display his exquisite boxing skills, constantly hitting the sand beast's weak points.

The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and the fight was inextricable. After a long and fierce battle, Lin Ze gradually figured out the attack routine of the sand beast. Just when the sand beast launched another fierce attack, Lin Ze saw its flaw, jumped up suddenly, and hit the sand beast's vital point with a punch at lightning speed.

There was a loud noise, and the sand beast howled in pain. After shaking its huge body for a few times, it fell to the ground and turned into a pile of loose sand. Seeing this scene, Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not let down his guard. Because he knew that in this mysterious pyramid, there were more unknown challenges waiting for him to conquer.

After a short rest, Lin Ze continued to move deeper into the pyramid. As he went deeper, a strong intuition told him that there must be a key item hidden here that could unlock all the secrets. With this belief in mind, he walked forward with firm steps and bright eyes, exploring without hesitation...

As he walked, Lin Ze came to a secret room. In the middle of the secret room was a stone pillar, and a crystal ball emitting faint light was suspended on the top of the stone pillar. As Lin Ze approached, the crystal ball suddenly released a suction force, sucking the artifact in his hand over. The artifact was embedded under the crystal ball, and rays of light shot out from the crystal ball, projecting pictures on the wall.

The picture shows the origin of this continent and the true purpose of the artifact - it was originally used to seal the dark power. Now the dark power is about to revive, and the pyramid is the final seal. Lin Ze realized that he had an important mission.

Suddenly, the secret room shook violently, and a dark shadow emerged from the ground. It turned out to be the Dark Messenger who had been sealed for a long time. The Dark Messenger's eyes were full of evil light, and he rushed towards Lin Ze without saying a word. Lin Ze responded calmly and used the surrounding environment to avoid the attack. He found that the Dark Messenger was afraid of strong light, so he tried his best to stimulate the remaining power of the artifact.

The artifact shines brightly, and the Dark Messenger is enveloped by the light, roaring in pain. Lin Ze takes the opportunity to find an opportunity and seal the Dark Messenger back underground. After everything calms down, Lin Ze takes the artifact and leaves the pyramid, ready for the next round of adventure.
