Chapter 119: "Illusionary World: Lin Xiao's Adventure of Life and Death"
The sky of the Fantasy World Continent was shrouded in a thick, inky haze, as if it was covered tightly by a huge black pot lid, making it almost impossible to breathe. The wind was howling, like a mad beast roaring and snarling, sweeping up dust and gravel all over the sky, and the whole world fell into chaos.
Lin Xiao stood in front of the gate of the ancient castle with a long sword on her back. She frowned, her eyes were firm and resolute, and she looked like a brave female warrior about to go to the battlefield.
"Mo Yu, no matter what, I will uncover the secret behind this castle and find the truth!" Lin Xiao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, his voice crisp and powerful.
Mo Yu looked at her worriedly, his eyes full of concern and uneasiness, "Xiao'er, this castle is gloomy and scary, and full of dangers. I'm really afraid that you will be in danger."
Lin Xiao turned his head abruptly, staring straight at Mo Yu, "What are you afraid of? We have come a long way and have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Do you want me to back down just because of this little difficulty? That's impossible!"
After saying that, she stepped into the castle gate without hesitation.
As soon as I entered the castle, a strong stench of decay hit my nose, making me sick. The dim lights flickered in the wind, as if they would go out at any time. The walls of the castle were covered with strange vines, which looked like twisting snakes, making people shudder.
Lin Xiao walked forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.
"What the hell is this place?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh sounded in her ears. The laugh seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"Hahahaha, Lin Xiao, you're finally here."
Lin Xiao's heart tightened, "Who? Show yourself if you have the guts!"
At this time, a dark figure slowly walked out from the darkness. The figure was erratic, and the face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light.
"Don't be anxious, little girl. Your fate has been determined from the moment you stepped into here." The black shadow's voice seemed to carry a magical power that made people shudder.
Lin Xiao glared at him, "Stop playing tricks here, come over here if you have the guts!"
As he spoke, Lin Xiao waved the sword in his hand and rushed towards the black shadow.
Mo Yu was not to be outdone, following closely and joining the battle.
However, the enemy's strength was far beyond their imagination. The black shadow flashed and easily dodged Lin Xiao's attack. At the same time, he swung his hand back, and a powerful force attacked Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.
"This guy is too powerful, we have to be careful when dealing with him!" Lin Xiao shouted.
Mo Yu nodded, "Xiao'er, be careful!"
At this moment, the black shadow launched an attack again, this time targeting Mo Yu.
Lin Xiao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed forward and stood in front of Mo Yu.
"Be careful!" Lin Xiao shouted.
Mo Yu felt warm in his heart, "Xiao'er, you..."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense and focus on fighting!"
After a fierce battle, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu gradually fell into trouble. Their physical strength was constantly depleted, but the enemy was still at ease.
"This is not a solution. We must find a way to find the enemy's weakness." Lin Xiao said, panting.
Just then, Lin Xiao discovered a secret passage in the castle.
"Mo Yu, follow me!" Lin Xiao shouted.
They rushed into the passage, only to find that it was even more dangerous. The passage was filled with poisonous fog, making people dizzy. Sharp thorns occasionally protruded from the walls, and one could get stabbed if not careful.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu pushed Lin Xiao away, but was scratched on the arm by a thorn.
Lin Xiao was extremely anxious, "Mo Yu, how are you?"
Mo Yu endured the pain and said, "Don't worry about me, just go!"
Lin Xiao continued to rush forward with tears in her eyes.
Finally, they came to a mysterious room. In the room was a huge crystal ball, emitting a mysterious light.
"Is this the answer we are looking for?" Lin Xiao walked forward puzzledly.
Just as she was about to touch the crystal ball, a voice sounded in her mind.
"Lin Xiao, this is a trap. Once it is touched, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, "But if we don't try, how can we find the truth?"
Mo Yu stepped forward and held Lin Xiao's hand, "Xiao'er, I believe you. But no matter what, I will stay with you."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's give it a try!"
Just when Lin Xiao's hand was about to touch the crystal ball, suddenly, all the lights in the room went out and the surroundings fell into darkness.
"Oh no! This is a trap!" Lin Xiao exclaimed.
At this time, countless dark shadows rushed in from all directions and surrounded them.
"It's over now, what should we do?" Mo Yu's voice was full of despair.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as we unite as one, we will definitely find a way out!"
Can Lin Xiao and Mo Yu find hope in this desperate situation? Can they uncover the secret behind the castle? Everything is still unknown...
