Chapter 540 "Breaking Out of the Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Journey into the Dark Storm"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side in front of the ancient, mysterious castle that exuded an endlessly eerie atmosphere. The gloomy sky was like a huge curtain stained with ink, weighing heavily on their heads. The heavy dark clouds rolled like a roaring black dragon, baring its fangs and waving its claws. The ferocious lightning that flashed from time to time seemed like the dragon's sharp claws, tearing the world apart. The wind howled, as if a group of crazy demons were roaring in unison. The powerful force made their clothes rustle, as if they would be dragged into the endless dark abyss in the next second.
Lin Xiao's eyebrows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character. Her beautiful eyebrows were now like two twisted braids, and her eyes were full of deep worry and undisguised fear. Her voice was trembling like a leaf in the wind, and she said, "Mo Yu, I feel like there are a bunch of monkeys jumping up and down in my heart. I feel that this castle is very weird. Do we really want to go in? My calves are as soft as noodles now."
Mo Yu held Lin Xiao's hand tightly, and the strength in his hand seemed to convey endless courage and strength to her. His eyes were as firm as a burning torch, and he said loudly: "Don't be afraid, Lin Xiao! Even if this is the underworld of the King of Hell, we have to break through. I swear, I will never let you get hurt! With me here, I can hold up the sky even if it falls!"
The heavy and ancient gate of the castle slowly opened, and a pungent, disgusting smell of decay rushed in like a surging tide. The smell was a hundred times worse than a garbage dump that had been piled up for thousands of years. Lin Xiao couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, frowning so hard that he could kill a group of flies, and complained loudly: "Oh my God, what is this smell? It's even more disgusting than a stinking ditch that hasn't been cleaned for thousands of years. It really makes me faint!"
They walked into the castle carefully. The hall was so dark and gloomy that it made people feel like they were in a horrible nightmare. Only a few flickering torches emitted a weak and strange light, and the dancing flames seemed to be swallowed by the darkness at any time.
Suddenly, a spooky, creepy laugh echoed in the hall. It sounded like it came from the deepest part of the underworld, and it made people's spines go cold and their scalps numb. "Haha, you're finally here."
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's hearts suddenly tightened, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs. Their hearts were in their throats. They stared wide-eyed vigilantly, and looked around nervously like two frightened deer.
"Who is it? If you have the guts, stop hiding and get out here!" Mo Yu's eyes widened and he shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the empty hall with a resolute momentum, as if to shatter the darkness.
At this time, a dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness. The whole figure was wrapped tightly in darkness, and the face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light could be seen. The light was like the eyes of a wolf flashing in the dark night, full of greed and evil, which made people shudder.
"Do you think you can easily uncover the secret here? You are too naive!" The black shadow said coldly. The voice seemed to carry ice that had not melted for a thousand years, so cold that it could freeze people's bones into ice chips.
Lin Xiao took a step forward and straightened his chest. Although he was terribly scared, he still pretended to be calm and said, "No matter what difficulties we face, we will not back down! At worst, we can fight you! Even if my head is cut off, it will only leave a scar as big as a bowl. I can be a brave man again in 18 years!"
The shadow waved his hand, and countless phantoms suddenly appeared around them. These phantoms were of different shapes, some were waving their claws and teeth, as if they wanted to eat them alive; some had hideous faces, like evil spirits escaped from hell, screaming and rushing towards them frantically.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu quickly stood back to back, assumed a defensive posture, and tightly grasped their weapons, ready to deal with this sudden terrorist attack.
Mo Yu cast a powerful spell, his hands dancing, light radiating, and he shouted: "Lin Xiao, be careful! I'll stop them! Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Lin Xiao was not to be outdone, the magic weapon in his hand shone with dazzling light, like a bright star. "Mo Yu, let's work together and beat these guys! I'm not a pushover!"
In the fierce battle, Lin Xiao was careless and was hit by a phantom sneak attack. Her body flew backwards suddenly, like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Lin Xiao!" Mo Yu was extremely anxious, his eyes instantly turned red as if blood was dripping out, and he rushed towards Lin Xiao desperately.
At this moment, the situation took an unexpected turn. The phantoms that had been repelled suddenly merged together to form an extremely huge monster. The monster was as huge as a mountain, and it exuded a terrifying aura that made people tremble with fear.
"This...what the hell is this thing!" Lin Xiao struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face full of astonishment and fear.
Mo Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, and said: "Don't be afraid, Lin Xiao, let's deal with it together! Even if we risk our lives today, we can't let this monster succeed!"
The monster opened its bloody mouth, spewed out a stream of black smoke, and rushed towards them. The smoke had a pungent stench that made people dizzy.
Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose and shouted, "Mo Yu, be careful, this smoke is poisonous!"
Mo Yu dodged the attack of the smoke and slashed at the monster with the weapon in his hand.
The monster roared, swung its huge claws, and attacked them.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu dodged left and right, engaging in a thrilling life-and-death battle with the monster.
