Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Not long after Lin Ze and his companions evacuated, the top leaders of the mysterious organization learned the news. They were furious and immediately sent out a more powerful pursuit force, vowing to take back the crystal fragments.

On the way back to the base, Lin Ze and his team had an ominous premonition. They felt that a powerful danger was following them closely, like a shadow, making them shudder.

The danger came from a well-equipped pursuit force, who were clearly familiar with the terrain of the area and quickly closed the distance between them and Lin Ze and his party. Bullets whizzed past them like raindrops, as if to devour them.

Lin Ze commanded his team members to dodge without hesitation, while thinking about countermeasures in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by an abandoned factory in front of him. The factory looked dilapidated, but its complex building structure and numerous passages might be an advantage for their counterattack.

Without any hesitation, Lin Ze led his team into the factory like a gust of wind. They quickly set up numerous traps at various key locations, ready to catch the enemy off guard.

When the pursuit team entered the factory, they were instantly thrown into chaos. The trap was triggered, explosions resounded throughout the factory, and the enemy was stunned by the sudden attack.

Lin Ze took the opportunity to lead his team members to fight from all corners and started a thrilling close combat with the enemy. Swords and sabers crisscrossed, shouts of killing rose and fell, and the bloody smell filled the air.

After a fierce battle, Lin Ze and his team finally succeeded in repelling the pursuit troops. However, they did not have time to breathe, because Lin Ze knew that this was only a temporary victory.

The bigger forces behind the mysterious organization are still lurking in the dark and may launch a more violent attack at any time. They must speed up the cracking of the secrets of the crystal fragments in order to truly protect the planet and prevent it from falling into the hands of evil forces.

Lin Ze and his team members dragged their tired bodies back to the base. Before they had time to rest, they immediately started studying the crystal fragments.

However, the secret of the crystal fragment is like a fog, elusive. Just when they have no clue, the alarm of the base suddenly sounded.

So this is the case. This mysterious organization has come up with a new conspiracy! They have colluded with a group of interstellar pirates and launched a joint attack on our base.

These pirates drove all kinds of strange-shaped warships, like monsters from outer space. Their firepower was extremely fierce, and the base's defense system seemed precarious under such a powerful attack.

Faced with such a serious situation, Lin Ze made a decision without hesitation. He quickly led his team members to board the fighter plane and prepare to fight against the aggressive enemies.

In the fierce air battle, Lin Ze keenly observed that the pirates' warships had an obvious weakness. He immediately ordered his team members to concentrate their firepower on this part. For a while, the artillery fire intertwined and the flames shot up into the sky.

After a hard and arduous battle, they finally succeeded in repelling the joint forces of the pirates and the mysterious organization. However, this victory did not make Lin Ze feel relaxed, because he knew that there was not much time left for them to crack the secret of the crystal fragments.

After careful consideration, Lin Ze decided to go all out. He decided to go to the mysterious ruins related to the crystal fragments to find the key clues to solve this mystery. Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, Lin Ze did not back down. He firmly believed that only in this way could he uncover the truth hidden behind the crystal fragments.

Lin Ze and several elite team members embarked on a journey to the mysterious ruins.

After crossing a barren interstellar desert, they finally arrived at the ruins.

The ruins are shrouded in a mysterious energy shield, emitting a faint and strange light.

Lin Ze and the others approached the seemingly indestructible energy shield cautiously, and their heartbeats accelerated involuntarily. When their fingers just touched the surface of the energy shield, suddenly, a suffocatingly powerful force came like a raging storm, and they were violently bounced away!

Everyone fell to the ground in a mess, their hearts filled with astonishment and fear. This power was far beyond their expectations, making them even more wary of this mysterious energy shield.

Just when everyone felt helpless, team member Xiao Li suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that he found a rune on the surface of the energy shield that was flashing with a faint light. This discovery cheered everyone up, as if they saw a glimmer of hope.

Lin Ze immediately moved forward and carefully observed the rune. After some research, he found that the rune seemed to be an ancient seal, and the faint light was a kind of connection between it and the outside world. Lin Ze decided to try to use his powerful mental power to communicate with the rune to see if he could unlock its seal.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, and injected his mental power into the rune like a trickle. At first, the rune did not respond, but Lin Ze did not give up. He kept adjusting his mental power, trying to find a frequency that resonated with the rune.

Finally, after a long attempt, Lin Ze felt that the rune seemed to have a slight response. He was delighted and continued to increase his mental output. Suddenly, the energy shield made a slight buzzing sound, and then slowly opened a gap.

Seeing this, everyone was very excited. They stood up and filed into the ruins. However, they soon discovered that the ruins were not so easy to explore. There were all kinds of ancient mechanisms and traps inside. If you were not careful, you might fall into an irretrievable situation.

Lin Ze led the team members forward carefully, and they kept a high level of vigilance at all times. Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, as if the entire ruins were about to be torn apart. Then, countless sharp thorns suddenly pierced out from the ground, like a ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth to devour them.

Lin Ze reacted very quickly, he immediately shouted loudly, commanding the team members to dodge. The team members were also well-trained, they quickly dispersed, and with their agility and tacit cooperation, they successfully avoided the fatal blow.

However, this was just the beginning. In the following exploration, they encountered more traps and mechanisms, but Lin Ze and his team members never backed down. They supported each other and overcame difficulties one after another.

Finally, after going through untold hardships, they arrived at the depths of the ruins. A huge crystal coffin suddenly appeared before their eyes, and the coffin seemed to contain a key item related to the secret of the crystal fragments.

Lin Ze took a deep breath and slowly approached the crystal coffin. Just as he was about to touch the coffin lid, suddenly, a group of mysterious creatures emerged from the darkness like ghosts. These creatures exuded a strange aura that made people shudder.

A new fierce battle is about to begin in this mysterious ruins...
