Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Carrying the magic weapon, everyone quickened their pace to return.

However, the evil forces seemed to have noticed their gains and set up an ambush early on.

As soon as they walked out of the ruins, a group of dark shadows emerged from all directions and surrounded them.

These black shadows exuded a disgusting stench, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary minions.

Lin Ze held the magic weapon tightly in both hands, and his voice echoed in the tense atmosphere: "Don't panic, everyone! We have magic weapons in our hands, and we will definitely be able to defeat them!" His words were like a magic needle, calming the originally panicked people down a little.

Then, Lin Ze activated the artifact without hesitation. Instantly, a dazzling light burst out from the artifact, like a bolt of lightning piercing through the darkness, and shot straight at the shadows. The shadows were hit by the sudden strong light and let out painful howls.

At the same time, the spirit girl also took quick action. She opened her red lips and chanted a spell. A powerful purifying force gushed out from her body, like a clear spring, flowing in the polluted air. As the purifying force spread, the air around her gradually became fresher.

However, the evil forces continued to surge like a tide, wave after wave, as if there was no end. Everyone's physical strength was gradually exhausted in this continuous battle, and their breathing became heavier and heavier.

Just when everyone felt powerless, the artifact suddenly emitted a strange wave. This wave was like a heartbeat, beating rhythmically. The artifact seemed to sense the plight of the people, and it autonomously released a more powerful force.

This force swept around like a hurricane, and wherever it passed, the shadows were repelled one after another. Under the impact of this powerful force, they scattered like fallen leaves.

Taking advantage of this rare gap, everyone worked together to break through the siege. Although their steps were a little staggering, their faith was unwavering. Finally, they successfully returned to the base.

Although they have temporarily escaped the pursuit of the evil forces, everyone knows that this is just the beginning. The real battle is still to come, and the artifacts in their hands will be the key to their victory over evil and smashing the conspiracy. With the help of the artifacts, they firmly believe that they will be able to stop the evil forces from opening the dark dimension channel.

After returning to the base, everyone immediately began to study the artifact. The spirit girl found that the strange fluctuations of the artifact seemed to be related to the energy of the evil forces, and perhaps they could use this to track down the other party's lair.

Lin Ze's eyes were sharp and he made a decision without hesitation: to lead the elite team to follow this wave to find the whereabouts of the evil forces.

They stepped into a gloomy valley, which was shrouded in thick black fog. It seemed like the entrance to hell, making people shudder.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, as if some huge monster was breaking out of the ground. Then, a group of huge stone monsters several feet tall emerged from the ground. They were covered with hard rocks and waved their thick arms, like moving mountains, smashing straight towards everyone.

Seeing this, Lin Ze immediately activated the magic weapon in his hand, and saw dazzling rays of light shooting out like lightning, heading straight for the stone monsters. However, the skin of these stone monsters was extremely tough, and although the rays of light hit them, it did not cause much damage.

Just when everyone was in trouble, the artifact suddenly emitted a strong light again, which was as dazzling as the sun, instantly covering the stone monster. Surprisingly, under the illumination of this light, the stone monster gradually stopped attacking, cracks began to appear on their bodies, and finally disintegrated into countless pieces of broken stones.

It turned out that the artifact sensed the new threat and automatically triggered the power of restraint, which saved everyone from danger.

After getting rid of the stone monster, everyone did not dare to delay and continued to move forward along the valley. Finally, they found the base of the evil forces at the end of the valley, a huge castle hidden in the black fog.

The castle is full of traps and fortifications. Obviously, the evil forces have been prepared. A thrilling battle is about to unfold here, and whether the artifact can continue to play a role and help them completely crush the evil forces' conspiracy is still unknown.

Lin Ze took a deep breath and directed the team members to approach the castle carefully. As soon as they approached, a group of demon bats flew out of the castle and rushed towards everyone, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The spirit girl hurriedly used her power of purification to disperse the demon bats, but many bats still escaped and scratched the team members.

At this critical moment, the castle's tightly closed door suddenly made a dull sound and slowly opened to both sides. As the door opened, a gloomy and cold breath surged out like a tide, making people tremble all over.

A figure in a black robe walked out of the darkness. His figure was shrouded in the black robe, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the evil aura emanating from his body was as real as a substance, which made people shudder. After the black-robed man stood still, he sneered, and the laughter echoed in front of the empty castle, as if it came from the evil spirits of hell.

"You stupid guys, do you think you can do whatever you want after getting the divine weapon?" the man in black robe said sarcastically, his voice revealing disdain and contempt for everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe suddenly waved his hands, and countless black tentacles on the ground sprang out like poisonous snakes, rushing towards everyone at an astonishing speed. These tentacles seemed to have life, flexibly wrapping around everyone's body, wrapping tighter and tighter, making it almost impossible for people to move.

However, at this critical moment, the artifact seemed to sense the danger of its master, and suddenly burst into a dazzling light. This light was as hot as the scorching sun, instantly burning those dark tentacles and forcing them to retreat step by step. Not only did the artifact break free from the tentacles, it also released a powerful shock wave, sweeping towards the black-robed man like a violent storm.

The man in black robe obviously did not expect that the artifact would have such powerful force. He was hit head-on by the shock wave. His body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and hit the wall of the castle heavily.

Seeing this opportunity, Lin Ze led his team to rush into the castle without hesitation. However, the situation inside the castle was much more complicated than they imagined. There were traps everywhere, and the slightest mistake would trigger fatal dangers.

Every step they took seemed like they were on the brink of death, but Lin Ze and his companions did not flinch. They relied closely on the power of the artifact, skillfully avoiding the traps time and time again, and escaping danger.

After a difficult exploration, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the castle. Here, a huge dark magic circle was slowly operating, and the dark energy emanating from the magic circle was as thick as ink, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.

In the center of the magic circle, there stood a figure wrapped in darkness. His presence made people feel an indescribable fear. Obviously, this figure was the core of the evil forces and the key to the final showdown that concerned the fate of the world.
