Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Chapter 584: Colorful Crystal Ball

After entering the door, they found themselves in a huge circular hall. In the center of the hall was a crystal ball emitting colorful light, and the runes around it flickered, as if telling an ancient story. However, before they could get close, the crystal ball suddenly shot out strong light, trapping them in a transparent energy shield.

"Do you think you can do whatever you want after defeating my puppet?" An ethereal voice sounded, and a huge phantom appeared on the wall of the hall.

It turns out that this mysterious being in front of him is actually the guardian of the crystal ball! You know, this crystal ball is the core power source of the entire castle, and the magic power it contains can destroy the world.

All I could hear was the guardian's grim expression and a voice that seemed to come from the Netherworld: "Hand over your souls quickly, and if you do, I will spare your lives!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze and Su Yao exchanged glances, and each saw unwavering faith in the other's eyes. Then, without hesitation, the two of them focused all their minds and reached for the ancient jade pendant they wore on their waists. In an instant, a strange energy gushed out from the jade pendant and continuously gathered in their hands.

As time went by, the energy stimulated by the jade pendant gradually condensed into a dazzling beam of light, which bombarded the energy shield that enveloped them. When the two touched, the originally indestructible energy shield actually began to tremble slightly, and soon fine cracks appeared.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the guardian suddenly increased the intensity of the attack. Countless black lightning twisted and danced in the air like a spirit snake, and then struck Lin Ze and Su Yao fiercely with lightning speed. For a moment, the sound of lightning and thunder resounded throughout the space, making people shudder.

But as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. At this critical moment of life and death, the jade pendant that had been quietly lying in Lin Ze's palm suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling light. This light was like a rising sun, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness without a trace. At the same time, the seemingly unbreakable energy shield also collapsed under the impact of this strong light, turning into tiny starlights that dissipated into the void.

Without the restraint of the energy shield, Lin Ze and Su Yao flashed and rushed straight towards the mysterious crystal ball like two arrows. The guardian saw this and roared, and his momentum suddenly increased several times, and then he also rushed forward without showing any weakness. In this way, a thrilling final duel began.

During the fierce battle, both sides fought back and forth, neither side gave in. Various colorful magic lights intertwined together, forming a beautiful but murderous picture. However, after a hard battle, Lin Ze and Su Yao, relying on their tacit cooperation and indomitable will, finally succeeded in finding the flaw in the guardian's defense and delivered a fatal blow.

As the guardian fell to the ground, the crystal ball's dazzling light gradually dimmed. Just as Lin Ze and Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened - the crystal ball slowly sank until it was completely submerged in the ground. Then, directly below its original location, a deep and dark passage quietly appeared...

Lin Ze and Su Yao looked at each other, and although they were a little tired, they were more determined, and stepped into the passage without hesitation. The passage was filled with a damp smell, and the walls were flashing with green fluorescence, like a pair of eyes peeping at them.

The atmosphere in the dim passage was so oppressive that it made people feel breathless. Suddenly, the ground, which was originally stable, began to shake violently without any warning, as if a prehistoric beast was rolling underground. Dust fell from the stone walls on both sides of the passage, as if they were trembling with fear from the sudden vibration.

"Be careful!" Lin Ze shouted loudly, and at the same time pulled Su Yao beside him. At this moment, from the dark corners on both sides of the passage, a group of strange monsters surged out like a tide. These monsters were huge, some were more than two people tall, and their bodies were as thick as a hill; some were slender, but like a flexible python, winding on the ground. Their teeth were extremely sharp, like a handful of cold daggers, flashing a chilling light in the dim passage. Each monster opened its bloody mouth and let out a creepy roar. The sound seemed to be a curse from hell, making people's souls tremble.

Lin Ze and Su Yao reacted instantly and quickly took fighting stances. Lin Ze stood firmly on the ground with his feet, squatted slightly, clenched his fists, and his eyes revealed determination and courage. Su Yao stood sideways, with a light figure and his hands hanging naturally, ready to attack at any time. At this moment, the jade pendants they wore emitted a dazzling light again, and the light was like the warm sun in spring, dispelling the darkness in the passage. The light became stronger and stronger, and gradually condensed into two weapons, one was a sharp long sword, the blade flashed with blue light, as if it contained endless icy power; the other was an exquisite short knife, the blade radiated red light, like a burning flame.

Lin Ze and Su Yao rushed into the group of monsters without hesitation, weapons in hand. Lin Ze swung his sword, and every swing was powerful, the wind of the sword whistled past, and the approaching monsters were repelled one after another. Su Yao flexibly shuttled between the monsters, and the short knife in her hand passed like lightning, leaving scars on the monsters. The monsters were enraged, and they gathered around and pounced on Lin Ze and Su Yao with their fangs and claws. For a time, the passage was full of swords and shadows, shouts and roars, and the scene was chaotic.

In the fierce battle, Lin Ze always remained calm. While fighting, he observed the movement patterns of the monsters. Suddenly, he found that every time he attacked the monster's eyes, the monster would howl in pain and move slowly. "It turns out that their weakness is in the eyes!" Lin Ze was overjoyed, and he reminded Su Yao loudly: "Su Yao, attack their eyes!" Su Yao heard Lin Ze's call and immediately understood. The two began to cooperate tacitly. Lin Ze was responsible for attracting the attention of the monsters. He waved his long sword and rushed left and right in the group of monsters, attracting the attention of the monsters to himself. Su Yao took the opportunity to go around the side of the monster and stabbed the monster's eyes accurately with the dagger in his hand. Every attack can cause severe damage to the monster. After a while, the monsters fell to the ground one after another, and the number of monsters in the passage became fewer and fewer.
