Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Those strange creatures pounced on the stone turtle with their fangs and claws bared, and Lin Ze and Su Yu immediately entered combat mode. Lin Ze waved his dagger and stabbed the approaching creatures accurately, while Su Yu cast a spell, shooting rays of light at the enemy. The stone turtle was shaken by the attack, and they could only try their best to keep their balance.

A huge creature slammed into the stone turtle with the force of thunder like a speeding truck. The sudden impact caused the stone turtle to shake violently, almost throwing Lin Ze and Su Yu into the turbulent river.

In a flash, Lin Ze was quick-witted and quick-handed. He saw the right moment and leaped without hesitation, like an agile cheetah, accurately jumping onto the creature's back. He held the sharp dagger tightly in his hand and stabbed the creature's body with all his strength.

The creature obviously did not expect Lin Ze's attack, and immediately let out a shrill scream, and its body trembled violently. Lin Ze took advantage of the situation and pushed hard, and the creature finally couldn't hold on any longer, and sank into the river with a "plop".

However, just when Lin Ze and Su Yu thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge whirlpool suddenly emerged in the center of the dark river, like a giant beast with its bloody mouth opened wide, ruthlessly swallowing the stone turtle. The stone turtle was spinning rapidly in the whirlpool, and Lin Ze and Su Yu felt dizzy and almost thrown out by this powerful force.

"Hold on!" Su Yu shouted loudly, with a hint of fear and despair in his voice. Lin Ze hugged the stone turtle tightly, his fingers deeply embedded in the turtle shell. He had only one thought in his mind: I must hold on and must not be thrown out!

The vortex grew bigger and bigger, and the surrounding river water seemed to be enraged and became extremely turbulent. The creatures that were originally swimming in the river also became extremely crazy at this moment. They kept hitting the stone turtle, as if they wanted to kill Lin Ze and Su Yu.

Lin Ze gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead. He had only one belief in his heart: get the spirit pearl and get out alive! At this critical moment, he burst out with unprecedented courage and strength.

After a hard fight, the stone turtle finally got rid of the whirlpool and slowly approached the other side. Lin Ze and Su Yu were exhausted from the torture, but they did not dare to relax at all and held the stone turtle tightly, fearing that they would be drawn back into the terrible whirlpool if they were not careful.

Finally, the stone turtle climbed up the shore with difficulty. Lin Ze and Su Yu felt relieved. As soon as they stepped onto the shore, the stone turtle slowly sank into the river as if it had completed its mission. The creatures that had been chasing it stopped attacking the moment the stone turtle sank into the river, as if they had lost their target. After wandering in the river for a while, they gradually dispersed.

Lin Ze and Su Yu had no time to rest, their eyes were attracted by a spiritual bead emitting soft light not far ahead. The spiritual bead lay quietly on the ground, like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting charming brilliance.

Lin Ze and Su Yu walked quickly towards the spirit pearl. Just when they were about to touch the spirit pearl, the ground suddenly cracked and a huge ground beast broke out of the ground.

It was as big as a mountain, its eyes flashed with ferocity, and it pounced towards them with its bloody mouth wide open.

Lin Ze's movements were as fast as lightning. He quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist, stabbed it straight at the ground beast with a flash of cold light. At the same time, Su Yu was not to be outdone. He quickly cast a spell, and a blue light shot towards the ground beast like a meteor.

However, the skin and flesh of this ground beast were thicker than expected, and neither Lin Ze's dagger nor Su Yu's magic could cause much damage to it. The ground beast roared, and its huge tail was like a whip, sweeping fiercely, sweeping Lin Ze and Su Yu several meters away like two rag dolls.

Lin Ze fell heavily to the ground, his arm was scraped and blood oozed out. Su Yu was not much better, his clothes were torn, his hair was a little messy, and he looked quite embarrassed.

But they were not discouraged. They looked at each other with an unyielding will in their eyes. They quickly got up from the ground, adjusted their state, and rushed towards the ground beast again without hesitation.

This time, Lin Ze changed his tactics and flexibly went around the side of the ground beast, trying to find its weakness. Su Yu attracted the attention of the ground beast from the front and continuously attacked it with various spells.

The ground beast was enraged by Su Yu's magic, it opened its bloody mouth and roared as it pounced on Su Yu. At this critical moment, Lin Ze seized the opportunity, he jumped up like a nimble cheetah, the dagger in his hand drew a fatal arc in the air, and fiercely pierced the ground beast's eye.

The ground beast let out a shrill scream, and its body shook violently, as if it had lost its balance. Lin Ze took the opportunity to pull out the dagger with force, and a stream of black blood splashed on the ground. The ground beast finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

Lin Ze and Su Yu panted heavily, looking at the fallen ground beast, and the tension in their hearts eased a little. They took a short rest and then walked towards the shining spirit bead again.

Lin Ze carefully reached out his hand and picked up the spirit bead. The light of the spirit bead instantly illuminated his face, making his face look a little sacred. At this moment, the surrounding environment began to change subtly. The originally calm air seemed to become a little agitated, as if some power was surging in the dark.

Lin Ze and Su Yu looked at each other. They both realized that the appearance of this spirit pearl might just be the beginning. Next, they would probably face more challenges and unknown dangers.

Suddenly, the spirit pearl emitted a strong light, covering the two of them. After the light dissipated, they appeared in a mysterious space. Strange runes flashed around them, and the ground was covered with complex patterns.

"Where is this?" Su Yu asked vigilantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of translucent ghosts came from all directions. They bared their teeth and claws, and made sharp cries. Lin Ze held the dagger tightly, and Su Yu quickly prepared a spell.

The battle was about to start, and the ghosts' attacks were very strange and could penetrate their defenses. Lin Ze and Su Yu were in trouble for a while.

Just as they were struggling to hold on, the spirit bead suddenly emitted a warm light, which repelled some of the ghosts. At the same time, they found that the ghosts seemed to be afraid of the light of the spirit bead.

Then, Lin Ze raised the spirit bead, and the light shone brightly, and the ghosts fled. As the ghosts dissipated, a door appeared in a corner of the space.

Lin Ze and Su Yu looked at each other and walked towards the door resolutely. They knew that behind the door, there were unknown challenges waiting for them.
