Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

They followed the direction indicated by the holy object and soon came to a gloomy forest.

As soon as they stepped in, countless strange vines emerged from all around and coiled around them like snakes.

The Ice God's eyes focused, and he quickly formed seals with his hands while muttering something. A powerful ice energy gushed out from his body like a surging cold current, instantly freezing the entangled vines into ice sculptures.

Seeing this, everyone rushed forward without hesitation. Their steps were firm and swift, as if nothing could block their way forward.

However, as they went deeper into the forest, the dangers increased.

Suddenly, the ground seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a huge crack appeared in front of them. Before anyone could react, a group of poisonous scorpions gushed out of the crack like a tide, their fangs bared, their faces hideous, and emitting a nauseating stench.

Faced with the sudden onslaught of poisonous scorpions, everyone panicked, but the wise man remained calm. He chanted an ancient spell and waved his hands. A strong gust of wind blew around him, like a roaring beast, and blew away the poisonous scorpions.

The poisonous scorpions were picked up by the strong wind, flying around in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. Some were even blown away.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were safe for the time being.

However, just when they relaxed their vigilance, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a giant winged demon hovering above their heads. Its wings were dozens of meters long, covering the sky and the sun, emitting a terrifying aura.

The giant demon opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a raging flame, instantly igniting the surrounding trees and forming a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this, Lin Ze shouted, "Hide quickly!" He led everyone to disperse quickly and find a place to avoid the fire.

At the same time, Lin Ze concentrated his mind and guided the power of the holy object to resonate with the power of everyone again. A dazzling light shot out from his hand, like lightning, rushing straight towards the giant demon.

The demon was hit by the strong light and let out a painful roar. Its body trembled violently, as if it had suffered a serious injury.

But the demon was obviously very powerful, and it was not defeated by the strong light, but became even more angry. It flapped its huge wings, stirred up a gust of wind, and then pounced on the crowd again, spewing flames from its mouth more fiercely than before.

Everyone gritted their teeth and refused to retreat, they tried their best to resist the demon's attack. Every attack was accompanied by their desire for peace and their fear of the source of evil in the unknown land.

They knew that only by defeating the demon in front of them could they move on and get closer to the source of evil hidden deep in the forest.

As everyone was struggling to hold on, the silent spirit girl suddenly felt a special vibration coming from the holy object. She closed her eyes and communicated with the holy object with her mind, and found that the holy object could give her the power of purification.

The spirit girl raised her hands, and the holy objects shone brightly. A ray of holy light shot out from her palms and hit the demon directly.

The demon was enveloped by the light and howled in pain, and the evil aura on his body began to dissipate.

However, the devil was unwilling to accept defeat. It used up its last bit of strength, condensed a huge ball of dark energy, and smashed it towards everyone.

At that critical moment, the Ice God and the wise man looked at each other in tacit understanding and instantly understood each other's intentions. They cast their unique spells at the same time without hesitation, and a layer of crystal clear ice appeared around the Ice God, while the wise man summoned a violent whirlwind.

The two powerful forces met and merged in the air, forming an indestructible barrier. The dark energy ball hit the barrier fiercely, making a loud noise that shook the earth, but the barrier was as stable as a mountain and was not shaken at all.

However, this seemingly powerful defense also cost the Ice God and the wise man a huge price. Their faces turned pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and their bodies were shaky due to overexertion.

Just when they were about to collapse, the power of purification of the spirit girl finally reached its limit. The demon that was originally corroded by the dark energy, in front of this pure power, melted quickly like snow under the scorching sun. In the end, the demon turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely dissipated in the air.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But they had no time to rest, because they knew that in the depths of the forest, there was an even more terrible source of evil waiting for them. So, they forced themselves to cheer up, dragged their exhausted bodies, and continued to move forward towards the unknown danger.

They walked forward for a while and saw an ancient altar emitting a strange light in front of them.

The altar was surrounded by eerie runes, each of which looked like a twisted ghost face, revealing endless evil.

Suddenly, the runes on the altar lit up, and a group of ghostly phantoms emerged from them, making sharp cries and rushing towards the crowd.

Everyone quickly deployed their troops and prepared for battle.

Lin Ze waved the holy object in his hand, and the holy object flashed and dispersed many phantoms.

The Ice God once again cast an ice spell to freeze some of the phantoms.

The wise man had a sharp eye. He calmly observed the Phantom's every move. After careful consideration, he finally discovered the Phantom's weakness.

He decisively ordered everyone to concentrate their forces to attack the vital parts of the phantom. After hearing the order, everyone immediately adjusted their tactics, like a well-trained army, cooperating closely and not giving the phantom any chance to breathe.

At the same time, the spirit girl was also constantly releasing the power of purification. The powerful energy was like a clear spring, flowing continuously, making the phantom's attack gradually slow down.

However, the phantoms seemed endless, coming in waves, and everyone's physical strength and energy were constantly being consumed. Gradually, they began to feel a little overwhelmed.

Just when everyone was feeling despair, suddenly, the holy object emitted a dazzling light, a light as bright as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.

Under the cover of this mysterious power, everyone felt as if their bodies were filled with powerful energy. Their originally exhausted bodies were instantly filled with strength, as if they had endless energy.

Everyone seized this rare opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack without hesitation. Their attacks poured down like a storm, and each attack landed precisely on the phantom's weak points, beating the phantom back step by step.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, all the phantoms were destroyed and the runes on the altar gradually dimmed.

In the center of the altar, a downward passage suddenly appeared in front of everyone. An evil aura faintly emanated from the passage, as if it came from the abyss of hell.

Everyone looked at each other. Although they were a little nervous, they had no intention of retreating. They stepped into the passage resolutely and continued to explore the source of evil hidden in the depths.
