Chapter 257: Lin Xiao's Life-and-Death Breakout Battle
Lin Xiao stood alone in the barren desert. The wind was like a raging beast, roaring wantonly, rolling up the yellow sand all over the sky, forming a sand curtain that covered the sky and the sun. Lin Xiao's figure seemed so small and fragile in this violent wind and sand.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this place! God, are you kidding me?" Lin Xiao yelled at the top of his lungs, but his voice was instantly swallowed up by the strong wind.
At this moment, Lin Xiao's already worn-out clothes rustled in the strong wind, as if they would be torn into pieces at any moment. Her hair was blown wildly by the wind, like countless black snakes twisting in the air. The skin on her face was hurt by the sandstorm, and tiny wounds were oozing blood, mixed with sweat and dust, making her look miserable.
She squinted her eyes, trying hard to see the mysterious castle looming in front of her, her heart filled with confusion and fear.
"What on earth is hidden in this castle? Why am I so unlucky to end up in this damn place!" Lin Xiao muttered to himself as he took difficult steps.
The sand under his feet was so hot that it seemed to be able to roast the soles of a person's feet. Every step Lin Xiao took felt like he was walking on fire.
"Oh my god, I can fry eggs in this sand. It's scalding me!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but jump up and down, complaining non-stop.
Suddenly, a huge scorpion suddenly emerged from the sand. The scorpion was huge, more than a person tall, and its two sharp pincers flashed with cold light, which made people shudder.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, and her face turned pale in an instant.
She instinctively took a few steps back, her heart beating wildly as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
"Damn it, I'm going to teach you a lesson, you monster!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
She quickly pulled out a dagger from her waist and held it tightly in her hand. Her body was trembling slightly, but her eyes were extremely determined.
The scorpion waved its pincers and pounced towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao dodged sideways flexibly and stabbed the scorpion with the dagger in his hand.
"Come on, you ugly bastard!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly to give himself courage.
The scorpion was extremely fast, and Lin Xiao could only jump and roll continuously to avoid its attack.
"Ouch, you almost caught me!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on his forehead.
After a fierce fight, Lin Xiao gradually discovered the scorpion's weakness.
"Now!" Lin Xiao seized the opportunity, jumped suddenly, and stabbed the scorpion's abdomen with the dagger in his hand.
The scorpion let out a painful hiss, fell to the ground, and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.
"Huh, it's finally solved." Lin Xiao panted and sat down on the ground.
Just when she was about to take a breath and rest for a while, a low and melodious bell sound suddenly came from the castle in the distance.
Lin Xiao was startled and quickly stood up and looked towards the castle.
"What secrets are there in this castle? Why is there a bell?" Lin Xiao frowned, his heart full of doubts and curiosity.
She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and walked towards the castle again.
As she approached, the castle gate slowly opened, and a powerful and mysterious force surged out from inside, instantly sucking Lin Xiao in.
Lin Xiao felt a black screen before his eyes and then he lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she found herself in a dark and damp room. There was a pungent smell all around, and a faint green light flickered on the wall, which was creepy.
"Where is this? Why am I here?" Lin Xiao shouted in horror.
She tried to stand up, but found that her hands and feet were locked tightly with heavy chains and she could not move.
"Damn it! Who locked me here? Let me out!" Lin Xiao struggled angrily, and the chains made a "rustling" sound.
Just then, a sinister and terrifying laugh came from the room.
"Hahahaha, you're finally here." A black shadow slowly walked out of the darkness.
Lin Xiao opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see the shadow's face clearly, but could only see a vague outline.
"Who are you? Why are you locking me up here?" Lin Xiao glared at the black shadow, his voice trembling.
The black shadow slowly approached Lin Xiao and finally revealed a hideous and distorted face.
"I am the master here. If you break into my territory, don't even think about getting out alive!" said the black shadow viciously.
There was no fear in Lin Xiao's eyes, but instead they were full of determination and stubbornness.
"Don't even think about succeeding. I will definitely find a way to escape!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
