Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

After walking for a few days, Lin Ze came to the edge of a dense jungle. The vegetation here was lush and green, and there was a mysterious atmosphere. After entering the jungle, Lin Ze found that the animals and plants here were different from the ordinary ones. The flowers were as big as plates, and the beasts also had strange horns.

Suddenly, a giant spider hung down from a tree and blocked the way. It was covered with thorny hairs and its eyes glowed with a faint green light.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, held the hilt tightly with his right hand, and pulled it out of the scabbard. With a flash of cold light, the sword was out of the scabbard, and the sharp blade flashed with a cold light.

In an instant, the air around them seemed to freeze, and a fierce battle began. The giant spider bared its fangs, and white spider silk spewed out of its mouth, attacking Lin Ze like lightning. These spider silks were extremely tough and could not be cut by ordinary swords.

Lin Ze swung his sword and chopped left and right, but the spider silk became more and more, gradually surrounding him. Gradually, he began to feel a little powerless and his movements became slower. At this critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered that the mysterious spirit bead in his arms might come in handy.

So, he quietly circulated the spiritual power in his body, and continuously injected the power of the spirit pearl into the sword. With the influx of the power of the spirit pearl, the sword suddenly shone brightly, like a scorching sun shining in the sky. Lin Ze saw the right opportunity and swung the sword in his hand with all his strength. A dazzling sword light flashed through the air, and those originally indestructible spider silks were easily cut off!

While the spider was still not able to react, Lin Ze pursued it with his sword skills becoming more and more fierce. His figure was as fast as lightning, shuttling between the spider silks, and each of his swords carried the force of thunder and stabbed fiercely at the spider's vital parts. After a hard fight, the huge spider finally couldn't withstand Lin Ze's fierce attack and fled in embarrassment.

After successfully repelling the spider, Lin Ze took a breath and continued on his way forward. As he walked, a melodious and pleasant flute sound came into his ears. This flute sound was like the sound of nature, graceful and ethereal, making people intoxicated by it. Lin Ze walked in the direction of the sound, and soon he came to a clear stream.

I saw a woman in white sitting on a big rock by the stream, holding a jade flute and playing it softly. She had a graceful figure and long flowing hair, like a fairy descending from the earth. Lin Ze stood quietly by, enjoying the beautiful music until the song ended.

The woman put down the flute, turned to look at Lin Ze, smiled and said, "Thank you for your courtesy, sir. I am a cultivator living in seclusion here, and I just felt the powerful aura of the spirit pearl on you, so I came to find out what's going on." Lin Ze bowed and said in return, "Thank you for your help, young lady. Do you know what the road conditions are like ahead?"

The woman frowned slightly and said, "My lord, you don't know that there is a dangerous place ahead. There are many evil creatures lurking there. They are guarding a powerful artifact. Over the years, countless heroes have tried to break into this place and seize the artifact, but all ended in failure, and some even lost their lives. My lord, you must think twice before you act!"

However, after hearing these words, Lin Ze's eyes did not show any sign of retreat, but instead a hint of determination flashed across them.

He said loudly: “Thank you for the reminder, young lady, but now that I have come this far, I will never give up halfway.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will find out the truth! " After saying this, he bowed and said goodbye to the woman, turned around and took big steps, resolutely walked towards the depths of the jungle, bravely facing the upcoming new challenges.

Not long after Lin Ze entered the jungle, he felt a thick miasma filling the air. He used his spiritual power to protect his body and moved forward cautiously. Suddenly, a group of ghostly black shadows rushed towards him at a very fast speed. Lin Ze drew his sword to meet them, but these black shadows seemed to be illusory, and the sword could not cause any real damage even when it passed through them.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Lin Ze's mind: this mysterious spirit bead might hide more unknown and wonderful abilities that he had not yet discovered. So, he closed his eyes tightly, concentrating on establishing telepathy with the spirit bead, and continuously transmitting his thoughts to it.

Instantly, the spirit pearl seemed to sense Lin Ze's deep desire and expectation, and began to tremble slightly, and gradually emitted a soft and warm light. This light was as dazzling as the stars twinkling in the night sky, which made people marvel. Then, the light slowly gathered together and condensed into a thin light shield in front of Lin Ze.

In a flash, the ghostly black shadow pounced towards Lin Ze, but the moment it touched the light shield, it was as if burned by a raging fire, making a "hissing" sound, and then quickly retreated at lightning speed.

Seeing this, Lin Ze did not hesitate to seize this fleeting opportunity. He flashed and rushed forward like an arrow. Not long after, a dark and gloomy cave suddenly appeared in front of him. There was a billowing black smoke at the entrance of the cave, and gusts of cold wind whistled past from time to time, and at the same time, it exuded a strong and almost suffocating evil breath.

It goes without saying that the legendary artifact must be hidden in this cave! Lin Ze took a deep breath, calmed himself, and resolutely stepped into the cave. However, just as he stepped into the cave, a powerful force like a tidal wave came like a tidal wave and hit him hard.

Facing such a sudden blow, Lin Ze gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist. Although the force was extremely fierce, he never had the slightest intention of retreating. Gradually, as his vision adapted to the dark environment in the cave, the surrounding scenes began to become clear.

As expected, the coveted artifact was quietly placed on the high platform in the center of the cave. However, what was tricky was that the artifact was densely covered with various strange forbidden runes. These runes flashed with strange light, and it was obvious that if someone approached rashly, it would inevitably cause unpredictable and huge danger.

Lin Ze stood there, staring at the forbidden runes, frowning and deep in thought. After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind to give it a try. He once again mobilized the power of the spirit pearl in his body and carefully controlled this energy to break the rune restriction in front of him.

Time passed by, and every time he cracked a rune, he needed a lot of energy and time. However, Lin Ze did not give up easily, but gritted his teeth and persevered to the end. Finally, after going through countless hardships and obstacles, he successfully broke through the obstacles, successfully climbed onto the platform and reached out to hold the coveted artifact.
