Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

They walked along a quiet path. The trees around them were lush and green, but there was an indescribable weirdness to them.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and a group of strange-looking stone beasts emerged from the ground.

These stone beasts are more than one meter tall, their bodies made of hard rock, and their eyes glow with a faint green light.

The companions immediately deployed their troops and prepared to fight. Lin Ze felt the mysterious power in his body begin to surge again, and he took a deep breath and poured the power into his weapon.

The battle started, and the stone beasts pounced on everyone with bared fangs and claws. The companions fought hard, but the stone beasts' attack power was so strong that many people were injured.

Lin Ze seized the opportunity, leaped onto the back of a stone beast, and swung his weapon to hit its head.

The stone beast felt great pain, and its body began to swing wildly and uncontrollably, as if it wanted to throw Lin Ze off. Lin Ze hugged the stone beast tightly, not daring to relax at all, because he knew that if he was thrown off, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this critical moment, another stone beast seized the opportunity and pounced on Lin Ze. This stone beast was extremely fast, like lightning, and Lin Ze didn't even have time to react.

However, just when the stone beast was about to pounce on Lin Ze, Lin Ze suddenly burst out with a mysterious power. He closed his eyes tightly, muttered something, and a dazzling light gushed out from his body.

This ray of light was like lightning, and it directly hit the stone beast that was rushing towards it. With a loud "bang", the stone beast was knocked away by this powerful force, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to move anymore.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. If he had not released this mysterious power in time, he would have become a meal for the stone beast.

After a fierce battle, the stone beasts were finally defeated. Lin Ze and his companions were exhausted, but they did not stop. Instead, they took a short rest and continued to move forward towards the unknown.

They know that this is just the beginning and there are more challenges waiting for them. But they are not afraid, because they believe that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.

They continued forward, and an ancient stone gate appeared in front of them.

The stone gate is engraved with strange runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

As they approached the stone gate, a powerful suction force suddenly emerged from the surroundings, trying to suck everyone into the stone gate.

Seeing this, the companions cast their own spells to resist this powerful force. For a moment, various lights and energies intertwined in the air, forming a colorful shield.

However, despite everyone's concerted efforts, this mysterious force was still extremely powerful, and the shield continued to tremble under its impact, as if it could break at any time.

Just as everyone was struggling to hold on, the mysterious power in Lin Ze's body seemed to sense the threat from the outside world and became agitated again. A powerful energy gushed out from his body and merged with the shield, instantly increasing the strength of the shield several times.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a dull sound was heard, and the stone door that was originally closed slowly opened. Behind the door, it was pitch black, and some faint lights could be seen flickering.

Everyone looked at each other, and saw a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes. But in the end, they decided to find out what was going on and walked into the cave carefully.

After entering the cave, they found that it was much larger than they had imagined. There was a faint light flickering on the walls of the cave, which made the surrounding environment look a bit eerie. Under the illumination of the faint light, they could vaguely see some dark shadows swaying.

Everyone's nerves immediately tensed up, and they watched the shadows warily. As the distance got closer, the shadows gradually became clearer. It turned out that they were a group of ghostly creatures!

These ghost creatures had transparent bodies, with only a pair of eyes emitting strange red light. They made sharp cries and pounced on the crowd with their fangs and claws bared, like a group of evil ghosts.

The battle broke out instantly, and everyone used their unique skills to fight these ghost creatures fiercely. Lin Ze was not to be outdone, he continuously released the mysterious power in his body and fought side by side with his partners.

However, these ghost creatures seemed to be endless in number, and no matter how hard everyone attacked, they kept coming. Moreover, the bodies of these ghost creatures were extremely illusory, and ordinary attacks had almost no effect on them.

Just when everyone was beginning to feel overwhelmed, a deep roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave. The sound was like coming from hell, making people shudder.

As the roar sounded, a huge monster slowly walked out of the darkness. The monster was covered with black scales and exuded a terrifying aura. Its eyes were like burning flames, staring at everyone, as if examining its prey.

Seeing this monster, everyone's heartbeats quickened. A more difficult battle was about to begin in this strange cave.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, clenched his weapon, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, let's go together!" After hearing his words, his companions cheered up and surrounded the monster.

The monster roared and slammed its huge claws towards its nearest companion.

Lin Ze was quick-witted and quick-handed, releasing a mysterious force to form a barrier to block the attack.

At this moment, runes on the walls of the cave suddenly lit up, and ghostly creatures began to gather around the monster, as if supplying it with power.

The monster's aura became even more powerful, and the black scales on its body flickered with a strange light.

Lin Ze realized that he couldn't continue in this stalemate. He concentrated his mind and tried to explore the deeper levels of the mysterious power in his body.

Suddenly, he felt a new wave of power, and the scene in front of him became a little blurry.

When he saw clearly again, he found that he could see the monster's weakness.

Lin Ze shouted to tell his companions the attack position, and everyone worked together, and the repeated attacks finally made the monster show signs of fatigue.

At that critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if he contained endless energy. This power gushed out like a torrent, rushing towards the monster at an astonishing speed.

The monster was obviously startled by the sudden powerful force, and it tried to use its body to resist the impact of this mysterious force, but it was too late. Lin Ze's power was as fast and fierce as lightning, and it hit the monster's vital parts accurately.

There was a loud bang, and the monster's body was instantly torn into pieces as if it had been blown up by a bomb. Its remains scattered on the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

The ghost creature that had been lingering around the monster also lost its support at this moment and gradually dissipated like smoke.
