Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

The deeper you go into the castle, the stronger the eerie atmosphere becomes.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and a huge sarcophagus slowly rose from the ground. The coffin lid opened automatically, and inside sat an old man with a pale face and sinister eyes.

The old man smiled coldly: "Do you think that everything will be fine after dealing with that clone? How naive."

Ye Ying and the others became alert. The old man waved his hands and countless black rays shot towards them.

Ye Ying and the other two forced themselves to hold on despite their exhausted bodies and cast spells once again to resist.

But at this time, their magic power was consumed too much, and their defense gradually became powerless.

Just as the black light was rushing towards them like lightning and was about to hit them, Lin Ze suddenly noticed an extremely subtle detail - when the old man cast the spell, his right arm would pause for a moment.

This discovery was like a ray of hope, which ignited hope in Lin Ze's heart. He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly shouted: "Ye Ying, Su Yu, pay attention to the old man's right arm!"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Ying and Su Yu immediately focused their attention on the old man's right arm. They also discovered this flaw, so they focused all their attacks on the old man's right arm without hesitation.

In an instant, various lights intertwined and hit the old man's right arm like raindrops. The old man obviously did not expect that they would discover his weakness, and was caught off guard and his right arm was hit hard.

With a muffled sound, the old man's spell was suddenly interrupted. The originally fierce black light also stopped abruptly in mid-air, as if it had lost its power.

This is a great opportunity! Lin Ze, Ye Ying and Su Yu looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. They gritted their teeth, squeezed out the last bit of magic power in their bodies, gathered them into a super-strong combined spell, and blasted it straight towards the old man's chest.

There was a loud bang, and the old man's body flew backwards as if he had been hit by a cannonball. He let out a shrill scream, and his body gradually dissipated in mid-air, eventually turning into a cloud of black smoke and completely disappearing into the air.

As the old man disappeared, the evil aura in the castle seemed to be drawn away and quickly dissipated. The originally gloomy and terrifying atmosphere suddenly became much brighter.

Lin Ze, Ye Ying and Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. They successfully found the source of the evil power and completely destroyed it. Although they were exhausted at this time, the joy in their hearts surged like a tide.

With the joy of victory, they dragged their exhausted bodies and slowly walked out of the castle. The sun shone on them, bringing a touch of warmth. However, they knew that what was waiting for them ahead would be a new peace and unknown challenges.

Just when they thought everything was over, a piece of paper emitting a strange blue light suddenly floated over from a distance and landed steadily in front of Lin Ze.

It was written in blood-red font: "This is just the beginning, the real test is still to come." Everyone's face instantly became solemn.

Before they could react, the space around them began to distort, and a huge black hole appeared. A powerful suction force pulled them into the black hole.

Lin Ze shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone hold on tight!" However, this powerful force was like a violent storm, ruthlessly dragging them in. Although they tried their best to resist, they were ultimately unable to resist the engulfment of this force and were involuntarily sucked into the bottomless black hole.

When they regained consciousness, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place. Thick purple mist filled the air, and the mist seemed to have life, constantly rolling and flowing, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling. And the creepy breath also enveloped them like a shadow, making them feel even more depressed.

In the mist, they could vaguely see pairs of green eyes flashing in the distance. These eyes appeared and disappeared, sometimes disappearing in the mist, and sometimes suddenly emerging, as if countless pairs of eyes were hiding in the dark, staring at them closely.

Ye Ying gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, and his voice was particularly clear in this silent environment: "It seems that a new challenge has arrived." His words revealed a hint of solemnity, but at the same time were full of determination.

The other two standing beside Ye Ying looked at each other, their eyes met, and they could see the determination and courage in each other's eyes. Although they knew that the next battle would be extremely difficult, they would never retreat, but chose to bravely face the unknown danger.

Just as everyone was on guard, those flashing green eyes gradually approached, and a group of strange creatures walked out of the mist. They looked like wolves, but not wolves, their bodies were covered with purple scales, and they let out low growls from their mouths.

Lin Ze quickly analyzed the situation and shouted, "Everyone stand back to back, be careful of their attacks!"

The battle was about to break out. These strange creatures were extremely fast, moving through the fog like ghosts.

Ye Ying waved his weapon, and every attack brought up a gust of wind; Su Yu cast spells, and rays of light shot towards the enemy.

Lin Ze was not to be outdone. He nimbly dodged the attacks and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Just as they were fighting fiercely with these creatures, a low laugh was heard in the fog.

In the dimness, a tall and majestic figure slowly emerged from the darkness. His body was as huge as a mountain, giving people an unshakable feeling. He exuded a strong evil aura, as if he was a demon from the depths of hell.

Everyone looked at the figure in astonishment, and a chill ran down their spines. They recognized the figure, and it turned out to be the upgraded version of the old man from before! His face became even more hideous and distorted, revealing a frightening malice.

"Welcome to my territory," his voice was as cold and low as if it came from the underworld, "This is the real beginning."

When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened. They realized that this place was much more dangerous than they had imagined. However, despite the fear in their hearts, they did not stop their actions at all. Because they knew that retreat would only put them in a deeper desperate situation.

A new fierce battle began in this tense atmosphere.

The upgraded version of the old man waved his hands, and those strange creatures went crazy and attacked even more fiercely.

Ye Ying and the others were oppressed to the point that they could hardly breathe, and scars gradually appeared on their bodies.
