Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Chapter 588 Calming Down

Lin Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He circulated the spiritual power in his body, and the spiritual power flowed quickly in his meridians, making a slight buzzing sound. He raised his hands, and a bright light condensed in his palms, and hit the barrier fiercely. Su Yao was also assisting, she chanted something and released her own spells. Colorful rays of light shot out from her fingertips and merged into Lin Ze's attack. However, the barrier only trembled slightly and was not broken.

As they were trying, an illusory figure suddenly appeared in front of them. The figure was translucent, emitting a faint blue light, as if it was made of energy. The illusory figure spoke in a cold but clear voice: "Only by understanding the power of the orb can the barrier be broken." The voice echoed in this space, hitting their hearts like a heavy hammer.

Lin Ze held the colorful orb tightly, and the orb flashed brilliantly in his hand, as if it contained endless mysteries. He slowly closed his eyes and felt the power in it with his whole body. At first, he only felt a warm breath flowing in his hands, like a spring breeze, gentle and comfortable. As he felt it more deeply, the breath gradually became stronger, as if it had turned into a surging tide, rushing through his body. In his mind, strange pictures appeared, including mountains and rivers, stars and seas, and some mysterious symbols and patterns he had never seen before. These pictures kept interweaving and changing, as if telling him the secret of the colorful orb.

Su Yao watched Lin Ze quietly from the side. She knew that she couldn't disturb him at this moment. She looked around vigilantly to prevent other dangers. As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on Lin Ze's forehead. His body trembled slightly, as if he was under great pressure. But he still held the colorful orb tightly and refused to give up.

Suddenly, Lin Ze's body emitted a dazzling light, which was as hot as the sun. His eyes suddenly opened, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He felt the power of the seven-colored gem, which was a powerful force that integrated various elements between heaven and earth, as if it could control everything. He raised his hand, held the seven-colored gem high, and chanted a string of mysterious spells. The seven-colored gem emitted a strong light, which shot directly at the energy barrier.

Under the light of the seven-colored gems, cracks began to appear on the barrier, like broken glass. The cracks grew larger and larger, and finally, with a loud bang, the energy barrier was completely shattered. The fragments turned into starlight and dissipated in the air. Lin Ze and Su Yao smiled at each other, knowing that they were one step closer to success. They walked towards the platform, ready to complete the return of the seven-colored gems.

However, just as they were about to step onto the platform, the ground suddenly shook violently. Four huge stone figurines slowly rose from the ground around the platform. The stone figurines were more than two people tall, and they exuded an ancient and powerful aura. Their eyes flashed with a faint green light, staring at Lin Ze and Su Yao.

"Oh no, there's a guardian beast!" Su Yao exclaimed.

Lin Ze clenched his fists. He felt that the strength of these four stone figurines should not be underestimated. He once again activated the power of the seven-colored gems, and the light on his body became more dazzling. Su Yao also quickly cast a spell and summoned a shield to protect the two of them.

In this gloomy and mysterious ancient ruins, there is a repressive and strange atmosphere. The surrounding stone walls are engraved with obscure runes, flashing with a green light, as if telling a piece of unknown horror history. At this moment, the stone figurines that were originally standing still all around, as if awakened by some evil force, slowly moved their stiff bodies. Their limbs carved from hard stones made a "clicking" sound, like rusty gears starting to work hard. Then, the stone figurines took heavy steps, and each step made the ground tremble slightly, raising a cloud of dust, and rushed fiercely towards the direction where Lin Ze and Su Yao were.

Lin Ze's eyes were stern. He knew that he could not hesitate at this moment. He quickly took out the mysterious gem from his arms. The surface of the gem was flowing with colorful light, as if it contained endless power. Lin Ze held the gem tightly with both hands, chanting something, and continuously injected the spiritual power in his body into the gem. In an instant, a colorful light spurted out from the gem like a gorgeous rainbow, with a whistling sound of wind, and hit one of the stone figurines directly. After the stone figurine was hit by this powerful attack, its huge body shook violently for several times, and the stones on its body peeled off one after another, as if it was shaken by this force and was somewhat unstable. However, what was unexpected was that this stone figurine was surprisingly tough. It quickly stabilized its body, and its empty eye sockets seemed to flash with a cold light, as if demonstrating to Lin Ze and others.

The other three stone figurines took advantage of the gap when Lin Ze attacked the stone figurine, and quickly attacked from different directions like well-trained warriors. Although their movements were a bit clumsy, every time they waved their arms, they brought a powerful force and brought gusts of wind. Seeing this, Su Yao shouted and quickly formed seals with her hands. Her body instantly shone with bright light, and various spells were released from her hands like raindrops. Ice spikes shot at the stone figurines like sharp arrows, trying to block their attacks; balls of flames were like burning meteors, smashing towards the stone figurines, hoping to cause damage to them. However, the bodies of the stone figurines were as hard as iron, and these spells hit them, only splashing some sparks, and did not cause any substantial damage to them.

Lin Ze was not frightened by the predicament. He concentrated his energy and stared at the stone figurines, carefully observing their every move, trying to find their weaknesses. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the chest of the stone figurine. Under the hard stone shell, there was a core that was gleaming with light, like a ray of hope in the darkness. Lin Ze was delighted. He shouted loudly, and the spiritual power in his body surged wildly at this moment. He gathered his strength again and poured all the spiritual power in his body into the orb. This time, a colorful beam of light that was more dazzling and more powerful than before shot out from the orb, like an angry dragon, rushing towards the core of the stone figurine with overwhelming force.

There was a loud bang, and it seemed as if the entire ruins were shaking. The colorful beam of light hit the core of the stone figurine accurately, and the body of the stone figurine instantly burst into a dazzling light. Then, cracks began to appear on its body, like broken glass, and finally fell to the ground and turned into a pile of rubble. With this breakthrough, Lin Ze and Su Yao's morale was greatly boosted. They took advantage of the victory to pursue, Lin Ze continued to shoot colorful light from the orb, and Su Yao continued to release various spells. The two cooperated tacitly and launched a fierce attack on the remaining three stone figurines.
