Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

In the center of the room, there was a treasure chest emitting a strange light. Obviously, this was the purpose of Lin Ze's trip.

Lin Ze walked quickly to the treasure chest and was about to reach out to open it when suddenly, countless sharp arrows shot out from the surrounding walls and shot towards him as densely as raindrops.

Lin Ze's heart suddenly tightened, a chill surged up his spine, and his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he saw the shadow of death approaching him. However, at this critical moment, his years of training in agility was instantly stimulated, as fast as lightning.

He flashed in a flash, like a ghost, moving freely between the gaps of the sharp arrows. Each sharp arrow was like the sickle of the god of death, ruthlessly cutting through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, but Lin Ze could always avoid their attacks by a hair's breadth.

Although the arrows were as dense as a storm, Lin Ze's movements were not slow at all. His body was as light and flexible as catkins in the wind, dodging left and right in the rain of arrows, dazzling the eyes.

Finally, after a thrilling dodge, Lin Ze successfully arrived in front of the treasure chest. A thin layer of sweat had seeped out of his forehead, and his heartbeat was as violent as a drumbeat, but his eyes were always fixed on the treasure chest, with excitement and anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Lin Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He stretched out his trembling hands and slowly opened the treasure chest. As the lid of the treasure chest slowly opened, a dazzling light instantly gushed out, illuminating the entire temple.

Inside the treasure chest, a gem emitting mysterious power lay quietly inside. Its light was as dazzling as the stars in the universe, giving people an indescribable shock.

Lin Ze's eyes seemed to be burned by a strong light, stinging unbearably, but he was like a possessed man, unable to take his eyes away from the orb. The light emitted by the orb was so dazzling, as if it contained endless mysteries and charms, deeply attracting Lin Ze's soul and making him involuntarily intoxicated by it.

Lin Ze knew very well that this orb was the ultimate goal of his adventure. He slowly stretched out his hands and carefully held the orb in his palms, fearing that he would accidentally damage this rare treasure. The moment his palms touched the orb, a powerful force rushed into his body like a surging wave.

This force was extremely powerful, surging through his body like a raging storm, causing his body to tremble involuntarily. Lin Ze could clearly feel this force surging through his meridians, and wherever it passed, his body seemed to be ignited, burning with unbearable heat.

Before Lin Ze had time to feel the power carefully, the temple suddenly shook violently.

The originally quiet space was broken by a sharp roar, the surrounding walls began to crack, and huge rocks fell one after another.

Lin Ze suddenly realized that the powerful force emitted by the orb seemed to have triggered some kind of self-destruct mechanism of the temple! He was shocked and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

However, facing such an urgent situation, Lin Ze did not hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth, endured the impact of the surging power in his body, resolutely picked up the pearl, and rushed away like an arrow.

Every step he took was like walking on thin ice. The ground beneath his feet kept collapsing as he ran, making a heart-pounding sound. Behind him, huge rocks fell down densely like raindrops, as if the entire temple was collapsing behind him.

Just when Lin Ze was about to escape from the temple, a huge stone slab weighing dozens of tons came crashing down on his head like a small mountain!

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Lin Ze stared with wide eyes, watching the stone slab hit him at an alarming speed, but he had no time to react.

However, at this critical moment, the originally restless power in Lin Ze's body seemed to suddenly sense the approaching danger and began to move autonomously!

Instantly, a powerful energy gushed out from his body and quickly condensed into a transparent shield above his head. Although the shield looked as thin as a cicada's wing, it emitted a frightening energy fluctuation.

There was a loud bang, and the huge stone slab hit the shield fiercely. The shield shook violently, but it blocked the heavy blow of the stone slab and prevented it from hitting Lin Ze.

Taking advantage of this fleeting gap, Lin Ze used all his strength without hesitation, rushed out like a cannonball, and finally escaped from the temple.

When he stopped panting and looked back, he saw that the mysterious and solemn temple had collapsed in a cloud of smoke and dust. Huge stones were flying everywhere, and the dust raised covered the sky.

At this moment, the power in Lin Ze's body seemed to have completed its mission, gradually calmed down, and merged perfectly with his body. Lin Ze could clearly feel that his strength had been greatly improved at this moment, as if he had been reborn.

Lin Ze was still immersed in the surprise of his improved strength, when suddenly, a noisy sound of footsteps came from not far away. A group of mysterious people dressed in strange clothes and holding sharp blades appeared.

Their eyes were full of greed and desire, like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep. They stared at the gem in Lin Ze's hand, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

"Hand over the orb and I'll spare your life!" The mysterious man in the lead suddenly shouted loudly, and his voice exploded in Lin Ze's ears like thunder. Lin Ze's heart tightened. He had just escaped from a life-and-death crisis, and he didn't expect to face a new challenge so soon.

He tightly grasped the orb in his hand, feeling the faint light it emitted, and silently prayed that the orb could bring him some strength. At this moment, the power that had just merged in his body began to stir, as if responding to his nervousness.

Seeing that Lin Ze did not react, the mysterious people immediately rushed towards him like a group of hungry tigers. Seeing this, Lin Ze flashed and rushed towards the mysterious person in the lead like a ghost. He raised his hand and punched. This punch contained all his strength, and the fist wind whistled, bringing up a sharp energy.

The mysterious man obviously did not expect Lin Ze to be so brave, and tried to resist in a hurry, but the power of Lin Ze's punch was too great, and he was shocked and retreated repeatedly, almost falling to the ground. Seeing that their leader was frustrated, the other mysterious men roared and attacked from all directions.
