Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Chapter 598 Awakening the Ice God

However, just as they were concentrating on exploring the specific method of awakening the Ice God, suddenly, the ancient book seemed to be given life and suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light. This blue light was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the darkness and tightly enveloping them.

In an instant, they seemed to be drawn into an endless vortex and lost their sense of the surrounding environment. When the light gradually dissipated, they were surprised to find that they were in a completely unfamiliar and strange space.

The space was filled with flowing ice mist, cold and mysterious, making people feel as if they were in the polar regions. In the distance, a huge figure loomed, as if it was the master of this space.

As the figure gradually became clearer, they finally saw its true face - it was actually the phantom of the Ice God! The Ice God's voice echoed in this space, and he said: "Although you have successfully collected all the holy objects, if you want to truly awaken me, you still need to pass three tests. These three tests will test your courage, wisdom, and kindness respectively."

Before he finished speaking, the ice fog in front of him quickly dissipated, revealing a turbulent glacier. The river was roaring and full of sharp ice blocks, like icebergs lying across it. This was the first test.

Lin Ze, Lin Yao and Lin Yu looked at each other and exchanged firm glances. They held the holy objects tightly in their hands and walked towards the glacier without hesitation. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, they had only one belief in their hearts, that is, they must save the town and never back down no matter how many difficulties and obstacles they encountered.

Lin Ze was walking in front. As soon as he stepped onto the glacier, he was hit by a biting chill.

The rushing water hit his legs, and the sharp ice scraped across his body from time to time, leaving bloody marks.

Lin Yao and Lin Yu followed closely behind Lin Ze. They supported each other and moved forward with difficulty in the freezing cold river. The river water was extremely cold, and every step was like stepping on the tip of a knife, making people feel unbearable pain. However, they did not give up and moved forward step by step.

Suddenly, a huge block of ice hit Lin Yu like a cannonball. Lin Ze was quick-witted and pulled Lin Yu away, but he staggered because he used too much force. Lin Yu looked at Lin Ze in horror, his heart full of gratitude and worry.

At this critical moment, Lin Yao suddenly discovered the hidden pattern in the river. It turned out that these ice blocks were not floating randomly, but moved according to a certain rhythm. As long as you can master this rhythm, you can avoid most of the ice blocks.

Lin Yao excitedly told Lin Ze and Lin Yu about this discovery. The three of them immediately followed her instructions and moved their feet carefully. Sure enough, they successfully avoided the impact of many ice cubes and their forward speed was significantly accelerated.

After a difficult journey, they finally successfully crossed the glacier. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the voice of the Ice God sounded again: "You have passed the test of courage. Next, face the challenge of wisdom."

As soon as the words fell, a towering iceberg appeared in front of them. The iceberg was steep and rugged, and was filled with various mechanisms and puzzles, making it daunting. At the top of the mountain, a mysterious light flickered, as if something crucial was hidden.

The three of them took a deep breath, looked at each other, and then resolutely headed towards the iceberg.

They came to the foot of the iceberg and looked up. They saw a line of words flashing blue on the mountain wall: "Solve the puzzle, then you can move forward."

Then, a huge block of ice rolled down from the mountain, and a complex puzzle emerged on the ice. Lin Ze frowned and thought carefully.

When Lin Yao and Lin Yu heard Lin Ze's call, they hurried over. The three of them put their heads together and began to discuss enthusiastically how to solve the problem.

Time passed quietly during their discussion. However, despite their best efforts, they still could not find a solution to the problem. Just when they felt a little desperate, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Lin Yu's mind, and a key clue flashed through his mind like lightning.

"I figured it out!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly, his voice revealing irrepressible joy. Hearing this, Lin Ze and Lin Yao hurriedly looked at him, their eyes full of anticipation.

With Lin Yu's prompt, Lin Ze and Lin Yao also suddenly realized, and their originally vague ideas became clear in an instant. They quickly solved the problem according to the new ideas, and sure enough, the puzzle was solved with their efforts.

As the mystery was solved, a passage slowly opened up on one side of the iceberg. A faint light shone through the passage, as if calling them forward.

The three of them stepped into the passage without hesitation. The light in the passage was dim, and they could only barely see the road under their feet. They walked carefully, fearing that they would trigger some trap.

Sure enough, they encountered all kinds of complicated mechanisms and puzzles along the way, but relying on each other's wisdom and team tacit understanding, they successfully solved them one by one.

After a difficult trek, they finally reached the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, a box emitting a mysterious light was quietly placed there, as if waiting for their arrival.

Just as they were about to approach the box, the Ice God's voice rang in their ears again: "This box contains the key to the next test, but opening it will be extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to continue?"

The three of them looked at each other, and there was a firm look in each other's eyes. Without any hesitation, they walked towards the box resolutely.

As Lin Ze stretched out his hand and touched the box, the temperature around him dropped suddenly and countless ice spikes shot out from the ground and walls.

They reacted quickly and used their skills to dodge.

Lin Ze dodged while trying to open the box.

When the box was finally opened, a strong light flashed, and the key inside floated up. At the same time, a huge ice puppet appeared in front of them.

The ice puppet swung its huge ice fist and smashed towards them. Lin Ze was the first to bear the brunt of it and faced the ice puppet, fighting fiercely with it.

Lin Yao and Lin Yu were looking for the ice puppet's weakness, waiting for an opportunity to assist Lin Ze. During the battle, they found that the ice puppet's core was in its chest. Lin Yao saw the right moment and shot a spiritual arrow, hitting the ice puppet's core, but it only slowed down its movements a little.

Lin Ze took the opportunity to attack with all his strength, and finally broke the core of the ice puppet. The ice puppet collapsed, and the key fell steadily into Lin Ze's hand. The voice of the Ice God sounded again: "You have passed the test of wisdom, and next, you will face the challenge of benevolence."

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding scene changed instantly. They came to a place full of injured people, and a more severe test was waiting for them.
