Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

In a mysterious and quiet valley, a unicorn radiating holy light was flying in the air carrying the young and brave Lin Ze.

They passed through dense forests and steep mountains and finally reached the edge of the valley.

However, at this moment, an extremely huge energy barrier shining with dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of them, like an insurmountable high wall standing in front of them.

Faced with this sudden obstacle, the unicorn stopped, raised its head and uttered a clear and pleasant cry, and gently shook its head to signal Lin Ze to look down. Lin Ze looked down as it guided him, and was surprised to find that the magical magic book in his hand had some new rune patterns emerging at some point. These runes flashed with strange light, and seemed to be closely related to the powerful energy in the valley in front of him.

Lin Ze stared at the new runes on the secret book, and a strong desire to explore surged in his heart. He calmed down, took a deep breath, and then began to concentrate on performing a new magic that he had just learned according to the instructions in the secret book. As he waved his hands, blue light continuously shot out from his fingertips, converging into a dazzling beam of light that rushed straight towards the solid energy barrier.

Something unexpected happened! When the blue light beam hit the energy barrier, it did not bounce off or disappear as expected. Instead, it penetrated quickly as if it had found a breakthrough point. Then, a crisp "click" sound was heard, and a small gap appeared in the originally indestructible energy barrier.

Seeing this, Lin Ze and the unicorn were overjoyed. Without any hesitation, the man and the beast immediately turned into two lightning-like figures and rushed towards the gap. In the blink of an eye, they successfully passed through the energy barrier and entered a wider area full of unknown dangers. In this way, they walked side by side, carrying courage and curiosity about the unknown world, and resolutely embarked on this thrilling adventure.

As soon as we stepped into this new area, thick fog filled the air and our vision became blurry.

Lin Ze became alert, and the unicorn slowed down, its hooves gently stepping on the ground, making a slight sound.

Suddenly, a group of strange-looking little creatures with spikes on their heads and glowing eyes jumped out of the grass, and pounced towards Lin Ze and the unicorn.

Lin Ze stared intently at the mysterious magic book in his hand, waving his hands as fast as the wind, and muttering something in a low and powerful voice. In an instant, a blazing wall of fire rose from the ground, as if it was going to swallow up the whole world. The small creatures that had been rushing towards him with great momentum made a "sizzling" sound when they hit the wall of fire, as if they were splashed by hot oil, and retreated in fear.

But no one expected that this was just an opening. As they gradually went deeper into this mysterious land, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble violently. Then, a huge beast that was as huge as a mountain slowly revealed its ferocious and terrifying figure. The beast was so huge that every step it took made the ground tremble, as if the end of the world had come.

The beast opened its bloody mouth that could swallow an entire house, and let out a roar that shook the world. The roar was like thunder, making Lin Ze's ears buzz and almost losing his hearing. At this moment, the unicorn that had been guarding Lin Ze stepped forward. It raised its front hooves, and the horn on its head, which was shining with dazzling light, suddenly shot out a strong beam of light, which shot straight into the beast's eyes. Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Ze did not hesitate to cast his most proficient freezing magic, hoping to temporarily freeze the beast's actions.

However, things did not go as planned. Although Lin Ze had tried his best, the beast's skin was rough, thick and indestructible. His freezing magic was just scratching the surface of the beast and had little effect. Seeing that the beast was about to break free and attack again, the situation became increasingly critical.

At the critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly had an idea in his mind, and suddenly remembered that the new runes in the magic book seemed to have a powerful combination of magic that had not been tried yet. Without any hesitation, he immediately followed the instructions in the secret book to perform this mysterious magic. There was a crisp sound, and countless chains shining with golden light suddenly fell from the sky, trapping the ferocious beast tightly in place like a net.

Seeing this, Lin Ze and the unicorn did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly seized this rare opportunity, spreading their four hooves and running forward desperately. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness and unknown deeper in this mysterious land, leaving behind the giant beast still trapped in the golden chain roaring angrily.

Lin Ze and the unicorn ran for a long time and finally stopped. The surrounding environment became more and more mysterious, and green phosphorescent lights flickered from time to time.

Suddenly, as Lin Ze was walking forward, he heard a clear and melodious flute sound. The flute sound was melodious and ethereal, like the sound of nature, and it seemed to have some mysterious magic that deeply attracted Lin Ze's soul. He was like being cast under a spell, and his body was completely out of his control and he walked step by step towards the direction of the flute sound.

The unicorn that was traveling with him seemed to sense the approach of danger and neighed anxiously. It tried hard to stop Lin Ze from moving forward, but at this time Lin Ze was completely immersed in the charming flute sound and had no reaction to the unicorn's obstruction.

As he got closer to the source of the flute sound, Lin Ze finally saw the person playing the flute. He saw a woman in a snow-white dress standing there quietly. She had a graceful figure and long hair falling on her shoulders like a waterfall. Her beautiful face was like a fairy descending from the earth, which made people fall in love with her. However, the only flaw was that her face always revealed a trace of indescribable coldness.

When the woman noticed Lin Ze approaching, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Outsider, how dare you trespass here without permission? Don't you know that this is a taboo place?" As soon as she finished speaking, before Lin Ze could respond, many black shadows suddenly appeared around him. These black shadows were erratic and had strange shapes, like ghosts but not completely similar. They pounced on Lin Ze with their fangs and claws, which was creepy.

At this critical moment, the woman just gently raised her jade hand and waved towards the shadows. In an instant, all the shadows were frozen as if they were frozen in place, and they were unable to move forward. Then, the woman looked at Lin Ze again and said slowly: "I can help you leave this place safely, but the premise is that you must promise me one thing."
