Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

The creatures in the picture were terrified and tried their best to fight against it, but the evil force was too strong. Although they tried their best, they could not completely eliminate it.

Finally, after a thrilling, earth-shattering battle, the creatures tried their best, but they were only able to seal the powerful and evil force. The entire battlefield was in ruins, filled with smoke, and strewn with broken limbs and weapons.

Seeing such a tragic scene, Lin Ze couldn't help but be shocked, and a heavy sense of mission surged into his heart like a tide. He stared at the place where the sealed evil power was, thinking secretly in his heart: I came to explore this mysterious place at all costs, and I thought it was just an ordinary adventure, but now it seems that the purpose is probably far more than that. Perhaps, finding a way to completely remove this evil seal, or finding a way to strengthen the power of this seal to prevent this evil power from breaking through the shackles again one day and coming to the world to wreak havoc on the people, is the great mission he really needs to shoulder and strive to complete on this trip!

Thinking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but take a deep look at the huge stone door that was still flickering with strange light, as if through the door, he could peek into the countless unknown and shocking secrets hidden behind it. Then, he turned around resolutely and shouted to Qilin who had been accompanying him: "Let's go, this place is not suitable for long, we must hurry up and leave here to pursue the more important secrets that may be hidden behind it!" After that, he took a big step and walked forward without looking back.

After hearing the call from its master, Qilin nodded its noble head to show its agreement. Then, it quickly followed Lin Ze's footsteps and walked side by side with him. The man and the beast walked away from the valley with firm and steady steps without hesitation. They walked farther and farther, and their figures gradually disappeared in the vast mountains, leaving only a series of clearly visible footprints extending to the unknown new direction. Along the way, Lin Ze and Qilin's hearts were filled with infinite expectations for the future and the fearless challenges of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles that were about to be faced.

After traveling for several days, Lin Ze and Qilin arrived at an ancient city. The people in the city were in a state of panic. It turned out that there had been strange phenomena recently. Dark shadows often appeared at night, and many people's poultry and livestock had disappeared.

It was a dark and windy night, and everything was silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility. Lin Ze, dressed in a black nightgown, was lurking in the shadows near a farmhouse like a ghost. Qilin beside him lay quietly, his sharp eyes watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, just after midnight, a black shadow flashed past the farmhouse like lightning, and its speed was astonishing. Qilin keenly noticed the abnormality, and after a low and long whistle, he chased after the black shadow like an arrow from a string. Seeing this, Lin Ze did not dare to neglect it, and stretched his body, using his unique light skills to follow Qilin closely.

The three of them rushed all the way to a dense forest outside the city. The shadow seemed to sense the approach of the pursuers behind and suddenly stopped. With the weak moonlight, Lin Ze looked carefully and saw that the person standing in front of him was actually a half-human, half-demon monster! It had a hideous face, exposed fangs, and exuded a disgusting demonic aura.

"Hmph, you ignorant human, how dare you ruin my good deeds!" The half-demon let out a low roar, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule.

Lin Ze suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "Are you related to the evil seal? Why are you here?"

The half-demon laughed wildly upon hearing this: "Hahahahahaha, that's right, the seal has been loosened, and the evil spirit is overflowing. I am affected by this, and my greed is growing. Naturally, I have to come out to look for more prey!"

Hearing this, Lin Ze could no longer suppress his anger. He drew out the sword from his waist with his right hand. With a flash of cold light, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the half-demon's throat. At the same time, Qilin roared and leaped towards the half-demon.

A fierce battle broke out instantly. Although the half-demon was cunning and changeable, it was weak after all. Facing the tacit cooperation between Lin Ze and Qilin, it soon revealed its flaws. After only a few rounds, the half-demon had been wounded in many places, and blood dyed its fur red. Seeing that the situation was not good, the half-demon made a feint and turned around to flee in panic.

Looking at the direction where the half-demon escaped, Lin Ze's eyes became more determined. He knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and there might be a huge conspiracy behind it. However, no matter what difficulties and obstacles were waiting for him, he was not afraid. Because he shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting this land and protecting the peace of the people, even if the road ahead was full of thorns, he would go on without hesitation and uncover this mysterious mystery step by step...

Lin Ze and Qilin followed the direction the half-demon fled, crossed a swamp, and came to a dark cave. The cave was filled with a pungent stench of decay and a faint evil aura.

Lin Ze gripped the sword tightly in his hand and walked into the cave carefully.

Qilin was exploring the way ahead. Suddenly, Qilin stopped and let out a warning growl.

Lin Ze looked up and saw a huge pool of blood deep in the cave, and there seemed to be something wriggling in the pool.

At this moment, the half-demon suddenly jumped out from the shadows beside it like a ghost. On its ferocious face, there was a chilling smug smile, and a sharp and evil laugh came out of its mouth: "Hahahaha! You guys, you don't know how to live or die, finally followed me in! This is the most critical place for us to revive the terrifying dark power!"

Facing such an arrogant half-demon, Lin Ze was extremely calm. His sharp eyes stared at the enemy in front of him without any fear. Then, he flashed and rushed towards the half-demon like an arrow from a bow. The sword in his hand flashed with cold light, as if he could take the enemy's head at any time. At the same time, the Qilin fighting side by side with Lin Ze was not to be outdone. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a ball of blazing flames, heading straight for the half-demon.

In an instant, the two sides launched a thrilling and fierce battle. The flashes of swords and sabers were intertwined, and the flames shot up to the sky and illuminated the surroundings. Lin Ze and Qilin cooperated tacitly, and the offensive of the man and the beast was like a torrential rain, which made the half-demon exhausted. However, the strength of this half-demon should not be underestimated. With its strange body movements and powerful demonic power, it resisted the attacks of Lin Ze and others again and again.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Lin Ze suddenly had a gleam in his eyes. He spotted a flaw in the half-demon's defense and swung his sword without hesitation, stabbing the half-demon's heart with lightning speed. A scream was heard, and the half-demon fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

But at the moment the half-demon fell, the blood pool, which was already rolling, suddenly became even more turbulent. The blood continued to churn, causing huge waves, as if some huge force was about to break out of the pool.
