Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Just when Lin Ze was still hesitating, the leader who had been blocked outside the door and unable to enter, unexpectedly broke through the obstacles through some mysterious and powerful means and rushed into the house like a ferocious beast.

When the leader caught a glimpse of the crystal ball emitting strange light held tightly in Lin Ze's hand, his eyes, which were already full of desire and ambition, instantly ignited with a raging fire of greed, as if the crystal ball had become the most desired thing in his life.

Faced with the aggressive and greedy leader, Lin Ze did not dare to slack off at all. He immediately became fully alert, focused and prepared himself to deal with the fierce robbery that the leader might launch.

The leader rushed towards Lin Ze like a madman, desperately, his speed was as fast as lightning across the night sky. However, Lin Ze was no ordinary man, relying on his familiarity with the complex terrain of this area, he evaded left and right swiftly and skillfully engaged in a fight with the leader.

During the fierce fight between the two sides, due to the chaotic scene, Lin Ze accidentally triggered a mechanism hidden in the dark. In an instant, there was a "clicking" sound, and the scene around them suddenly changed drastically - countless extremely sharp, high-speed rotating blades appeared out of thin air like ghosts, with a chilling cold light, whistling towards the two of them!

Faced with such a sudden change, Lin Ze and the leader were both shocked. They had no time to react and were forced to temporarily stop fighting and try their best to dodge those deadly blades.

At this critical moment, Lin Ze's mind worked rapidly. He soon realized that if he continued to mess around in this dangerous place without any clue, not only would his life be in danger, but even the precious crystal ball would be destroyed. So, a brilliant plan came to his mind.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, then mustered up his courage and shouted at the leader: "Hey! Let's stop fighting! If we can work together to leave this damn place, I promise that this crystal ball will be yours after we get out! How about it?"

Hearing this, the leader was stunned at first, but then began to quickly weigh the pros and cons. After a short and intense thought, the leader finally gritted his teeth and nodded, indicating that he agreed to Lin Ze's conditions.

Next, the two put aside their past grudges and began to cooperate with each other carefully, step by step avoiding various hidden traps. It was full of dangers along the way, but fortunately they finally successfully walked out of this ruins full of unknowns and dangers without any danger.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the ruins, Lin Ze's tense nerves relaxed a little. But at this moment, he suddenly saw the leader relax because he was out of danger, and he shouted in his heart, "The opportunity has come!" In a flash, Lin Ze took advantage of this opportunity, turned around at lightning speed, and ran away with the crystal ball like an arrow.

At this moment, Lin Ze had only one thought in his mind, which was to quickly find an absolutely safe place and calm down to think carefully about how to deal with this mysterious crystal ball.

The leader came to his senses and roared angrily, "How dare you deceive me!" Then he ran after him. Lin Ze knew that he should not stay here for long, so he observed the surrounding environment while running. Suddenly, he saw a misty forest in front of him. It was rumored that there were many dangers in it, but there might also be hidden places. Lin Ze gritted his teeth and rushed into the forest.

The leader hesitated when he reached the edge of the forest, but thought of the crystal ball and followed him in. The forest was filled with a strange atmosphere, and strange cries were heard from time to time. Lin Ze found that the trees here seemed to have their own consciousness, and branches kept blocking his way. The leader also encountered the same trouble, but he only wanted to catch Lin Ze and take back the crystal ball, and he ignored other dangers.

Lin Ze ran to a cave in a panic. Seeing that the leader was about to catch up, he didn't care about anything and went straight into the cave. There was a faint light in the cave. He followed the light and found a huge object similar to a crystal ball energy source. At this time, the leader arrived and was stunned by the scene. Lin Ze took the opportunity to say, "Maybe there are bigger secrets waiting for us to discover here. Why don't we stop first?" The leader's eyes flickered and temporarily put aside his hostility. The two began to explore this mysterious cave.

The two slowly approached the huge object that looked like a crystal ball energy source, only to find that it was surrounded by a transparent protective shield.

Just as they were trying to find a way to break through, the ground suddenly shook and rocks began to fall from the top of the cave.

It turns out that this cave has a defense mechanism that will launch an attack once someone approaches the core area.

Lin Ze and the leader struggled forward in this dark and narrow cave. Huge rocks kept rolling down from all around, as if they were going to smash them into pieces. They dodged left and right, looking very embarrassed, but they never gave up hope of finding an exit.

Suddenly, in the chaos, Lin Ze accidentally bumped into a protruding stone. With a crisp "crack" sound, the originally indestructible protective cover actually cracked into a tiny gap!

The two looked at each other instantly, with a hint of surprise and ecstasy in their eyes. Almost at the same time, they ran towards the crystal ball energy source emitting mysterious light without hesitation.

Just as they were about to touch the crystal ball, an irresistible force came over like a surging tide, wrapping them tightly. In an instant, the world spun around, their eyes went dark, and they lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Ze slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in an extremely strange space. All around him were flashing all kinds of strange luminous symbols and images, which were like a dream and dazzling.

Those images were displayed in front of them quickly, like movie scenes. It turned out that this seemingly ordinary crystal ball energy source was actually a container used by a great civilization in ancient times to seal demons! Once it was destroyed, the demons imprisoned in it would regain their freedom, wreak havoc on the world, and bring devastating disasters to the entire world.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ze and the leader couldn't help but gasp and looked at each other, their hearts filled with regret and fear. They finally realized how stupid and ridiculous it was to fight for the crystal ball.

At this moment, a deep and majestic voice came from all directions: "Brave humans, if you are willing to put aside your prejudices and work together to protect this place, I can let you leave safely and give you a precious treasure as a reward."
