Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

"Thank you so much! Without you brave warriors, we would have been doomed..."

"Are you really gods descended from heaven? You're so amazing!"

Faced with such praise, the four young heroes humbly stated that it was their duty and continued their journey to find the Philosopher's Stone.

Before nightfall, the four finally arrived at an old and dilapidated temple. According to the intelligence they had gathered, this was the location of their target.

An inexplicable eeriness permeated the air in front of the temple, and the surrounding trees swayed in the wind, as if telling ancient secrets. The four people standing in front of the temple all felt a strange sense of unease.

“It seems we’ve come to the right place,” Su Ting said softly, his longsword trembling slightly.

“Yes, there is indeed the scent of a magic stone here.” The masked youth nodded, his tone firm. “However, the defenses here are very tight, so we need to be careful.”

Su Ting and Liu Yan exchanged a glance, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to face the impending challenge.

Chapter 707 Launching an even stronger attack

Just then, a passing villager saw them and stopped in surprise: "You...you've come to resolve the trouble here?"

“Yes,” Sutin replied, “we are here to find the Philosopher’s Stone.”

A glimmer of hope flashed in the villagers' eyes: "Really? That's wonderful! Legend has it that the magic stone here is controlled by evil forces and has already caused the deaths of many innocent people. If you can successfully destroy it, we will never have to live in fear again."

"Please trust us, we will do our best," Liu Yan comforted gently.

The group nodded and began walking into the temple. Upon entering, they found it even more dilapidated than they had imagined, but at the same time, they could also sense a powerful surge of magical energy.

"This power is truly formidable," Su Ting said softly, the longsword in his hand emitting a faint glow.

"We must find the magic stone as soon as possible and destroy it," the masked youth said in a deep voice.

The group cautiously traversed the corridors, each step taken with extreme care. Suddenly, a deep sound came from the depths, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, and the entire temple seemed to come alive.

"This...this kind of sound?" Liu Yan couldn't help but shiver.

"It seems the real test is about to begin." Su Ting gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze resolute. "Let's go, we can't stop."

As they ventured deeper into the temple, the surroundings grew increasingly dark, and a suffocating atmosphere filled the air. Suddenly, a massive black shadow appeared before them—the guardian of the magic stone—a colossal stone statue.

"What a huge thing!" Su Ting shouted, rushing forward without hesitation. However, the stone statue was not so easy to deal with; it swung its enormous arms, making a deafening sound.

"Watch out!" Su Ting shouted a warning, and she quickly drew her longsword and engaged in a fierce battle with the stone statue.

At the same time, the masked youth and Liu Yan joined the battle. The four of them worked together and engaged in a fierce struggle against the stone statue. Just as they were about to gain the upper hand, the stone statue suddenly let out a huge roar, shaking the entire temple.

"What exactly is going on?" Liu Yan asked in a panic.

"Oh no, it seems it's about to launch an even stronger attack!" Su Ting said nervously.

"Everyone, stand back!" the masked youth shouted, quickly adjusting his position to prepare for the next attack.

In that instant, a gigantic claw emerged from behind the statue, tearing it in two. Everyone stared in disbelief, utterly bewildered by what had just happened.

"What... what the hell is this?" Su Ting was stunned, and the long sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Whatever it is, we must act immediately!" Su Ting said urgently.

Just as everyone was preparing to launch another attack, a mysterious old man suddenly emerged from the ruins. He was thin, but his eyes were bright and piercing, and he held a staff inlaid with gemstones in his hand.

"Are you warriors who have come to find the Philosopher's Stone?" the old man asked in a calm yet authoritative tone.

"Who are you?" the masked youth asked warily.

The old man smiled and said slowly, "I am the guardian of this temple and the only one who knows the true location of the Philosopher's Stone. But I need to make sure you are truly capable of undertaking this mission."

“We will prove ourselves!” Su Ting said firmly.

The old man nodded, raised his staff, and a beam of light shot out, pointing directly to a secret chamber deep within the temple. "There, you will find all the answers."

Just as everyone was preparing to enter the secret chamber, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. It turned out that a group of villagers who had been attacked by the stone statues had come to their aid, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the villagers were safe and sound.

"Thank you! We can finally rest easy," a village woman said gratefully.

"Don't thank me yet, we haven't finished our mission," Su Ting said calmly. "Now, let's head to that secret room together."

After bidding farewell to the villagers, the four continued their journey into the unknown secret chamber, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation. They knew that more challenges awaited them, but they firmly believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Just as they were about to step into the secret room, Su Ting suddenly stopped and turned to look at those hopeful faces.

"Wait for our good news!" he said firmly.

The villagers smiled expectantly and waved to see them off. Meanwhile, not far away, the mysterious old man continued to watch silently, his eyes seemingly flashing with some indescribable emotion.

"This is just the beginning..." he thought to himself, then slowly disappeared into the darkness.

The four entered the secret chamber, and the scene before them left them utterly shocked...

"This...this is where the magic stone is located?" Liu Yan asked in shock.

Inside the secret chamber, a massive gemstone, radiating dazzling light, lay silently in the center, surrounded by a ring of strange runes. A mysterious and ancient power permeated the air, seemingly capable of instantly drawing one into boundless reverie.

"Is this the Philosopher's Stone?" Su Ting couldn't believe his eyes.

Su Ting stared at the gemstone before him, a resolute glint in his eyes: "That's right, this is exactly the target we need to destroy."

The masked youth walked up to the gem, examined it carefully for a while, and then turned to the group: "We have to be careful; this thing is not simple."

“But…” Liu Yan asked hesitantly, “Can we really destroy it?”

“We’ll only know once we try,” Su Ting said firmly. “We’ve been through so much already, what can stop us?”

"Alright, let's do it together!" Liu Yan mustered her courage and gripped her weapon tightly.

The four surrounded the magic stone and began to unleash their abilities. Su Ting's longsword gleamed, emitting a dazzling light, while the masked youth chanted an ancient incantation, and Liu Yan prepared to deliver the final blow with her bow and arrow.

Just then, the atmosphere in the secret room suddenly became even more tense, and a powerful energy wave rippled out, as if the whole world was trembling.

"Hurry! Time is running out!" Su Ting urged loudly.

Just as they were preparing to launch a combined attack, suddenly, a piercing laugh rang out, and the floor of the entire secret chamber began to shake, as if something terrifying was awakening.

“This is…” Su Ting looked around warily.

"Damn it, we might have triggered some kind of mechanism!" The masked youth frowned.

"What exactly is that?" Liu Yan asked in terror.

"I don't know, but this is definitely not a good sign..." Su Ting said in a deep voice.

Chapter 709 Burden

Suddenly, a powerful force surged from the ground, and a massive figure gradually emerged. It was a huge monster covered in scales, its eyes filled with rage and murderous intent.

"You intruders, how dare you attempt to destroy my treasure!" the monster roared, its voice deafening.

"It's over, this is the true guardian!" the masked youth shouted a warning.

"Everyone be careful!" Su Ting hurriedly reminded.

"We will not back down easily!" Su Ting said firmly.

The four heroes took their positions, preparing for the fierce battle to come. But behind this battle, an even greater mystery and a more powerful enemy awaited them…

"We will definitely defeat it, and we must destroy the magic stone no matter what!" Su Ting shouted.

“That’s right, we must save this land!” Liu Yan replied firmly.

“Then, everything depends on us…” Su Ting said in a deep voice.

The four men gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes burning with unwavering resolve. They knew that this battle was not only a matter of their own lives, but also of the fate of the entire village and even the wider world.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?" the monster roared, its voice filled with arrogant arrogance. Its body began to emit a bright light, and its immense power seemed poised to shatter the entire chamber.

Su Ting brandished his longsword, its tip gleaming: "We have no way back, only forward!" As soon as he finished speaking, he charged at the monster, his longsword drawing a dazzling line of light as it pierced the monster's scales.

"Watch out!" Su Ting hurriedly warned, and then she also swung her sword and joined the battle. Her sword light intertwined in the air to form beautiful patterns, creating a pincer attack with Su Ting.

The masked youth chanted an incantation, and the surrounding runes began to tremble slightly, seemingly responding to his power. "With ancient power, I seal you!" he shouted, and a beam of light shot from his hand, striking the monster's body directly.

"Ugh!" the monster cried out in pain, but only briefly took a step back before angrily retaliating, its huge claws sweeping out and creating a fierce gust of wind.

Liu Yan drew her bowstring taut, and the arrow shot towards the monster like a meteor, only to be easily deflected. "This monster's defense is too strong!" she said anxiously.

"We need to change our strategy!" Su Ting shouted, quickly adjusting her position to find a new angle of attack.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the secret room. The villagers, hearing the loud noise coming from inside, couldn't help but feel worried.

"What happened? Is there any danger?" the village woman asked anxiously.

“We should go help!” a young man exclaimed excitedly.

“No, you’ll only add to their burden if you go in!” the old man stopped them, his gaze fixed firmly on the secret chamber. “We have no choice but to trust them.”

Inside the sealed chamber, the battle between the four continued. The monster roared incessantly, each attack causing the walls of the chamber to shake precariously. The four coordinated their attacks, constantly changing their methods, trying to find an opening in the monster's defenses.
