Chapter 543: The Great Reversal of the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Counterattack Legend
Lin Xiao walked alone in the dark and damp forest that seemed to swallow everything. Every step she took was like stepping on an unknown trap. The tall and gloomy trees around her were like huge monsters, stretching out twisted branches, as if they would tightly wrap around her at any time. The air was filled with a strong smell of decay, mixed with the smell of damp soil, which made people feel unbearable depression.
"What the hell is this place!" Lin Xiao's brows were knitted tightly into a "川" shape, and her face was full of anxiety and uneasiness. Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, "Why am I so unlucky to fall into this crappy place!" She muttered while moving her feet with difficulty, holding the rusty dagger tightly in her hand, as if it was her only life-saving straw in this dark world.
Suddenly, a cold wind whistled past without warning, making the leaves rustle, as if countless ghosts were whispering in his ears, telling unknown horrible secrets. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, and his teeth chattered.
"Will something terrible suddenly jump out?" She murmured to herself, her voice full of trembling and fear. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked around vigilantly. Every slight movement could make her nerves tense instantly.
At this moment, a huge spider quickly dropped down from the branch above. The spider's body was as big as an adult, its hairy legs were covered with sharp barbs, and its sharp claws flashed with cold light, which made people shudder.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear, her voice breaking through the silence of the forest and echoing in the air. Her face turned pale in an instant, without a trace of blood, like a piece of white paper. She instinctively stepped back, staggering, and almost fell to the ground.
The spider quickly pounced towards Lin Xiao, as fast as lightning. Lin Xiao raised his dagger in panic, trying to resist this sudden attack.
"Go to hell!" She screamed hysterically, her eyes full of determination and courage. Her arms trembled slightly due to nervousness, but she still held the dagger tightly and stabbed the spider fiercely.
For a moment, Lin Xiao and the spider were in a fierce fight. The spider's claws kept waving at Lin Xiao, and each attack was a deadly threat. Lin Xiao dodged left and right, flexibly avoiding the spider's attacks, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
"I'm going to punish you!" Lin Xiao panted and shouted. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
After a desperate fight, Lin Xiao finally found the spider's weakness. She swung her dagger hard and stabbed the spider's abdomen accurately. The spider screamed in pain, green blood gushed out, and it turned around and fled in embarrassment.
Lin Xiao collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, as if she had just experienced a life-or-death catastrophe. Her clothes were torn in several places by the branches, and her arms were covered with small wounds.
"This is just the beginning. I must get out of this forest!" She gritted her teeth and encouraged herself secretly. Her eyes revealed a firm determination, as if nothing could stop her from moving forward.
Lin Xiao struggled to stand up and continued to move forward with difficulty. The road under his feet was muddy and every step required great effort.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao suddenly found an ancient and mysterious castle in front of him. The walls of the castle were mottled and dilapidated, covered with green vines, as if they had been forgotten by time. The gate of the castle was closed, exuding a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, his heart full of contradictions and fear.
“Should I go in?” she said to herself. “This doesn’t look like a good place, but maybe there are clues in there that can help me leave.”
After a fierce ideological struggle, Lin Xiao finally decided to walk into the castle. She carefully pushed open the heavy door, and the door hinge made a dull "squeak", as if protesting her intrusion.
Walking into the castle, it was pitch black inside, with only a few faint rays of light coming in from the dilapidated windows, barely enough to illuminate the road ahead. The air was filled with a stale smell of dust, which made people cough uncontrollably.
"Is anyone there?" Lin Xiao called softly, his voice echoing in the empty hall, sounding particularly small and helpless.
Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded in the darkness: "Little girl, you shouldn't be here."
Lin Xiao was startled and his heart instantly rose to his throat.
"Who? Who's talking?" she shouted in horror, her voice trembling obviously.
At this time, a dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness. Lin Xiao tried hard to see the other person's face clearly, but he could only see a pair of eyes flashing with a strange light, which seemed to come from the depths of hell, making people shudder.
"Who are you?" Lin Xiao gripped the dagger tightly, his body tense like a fully drawn bow, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.
The shadow sneered, and the voice seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld: "I am the guardian here. You have entered my territory and you must pay the price."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said calmly, "I'm not afraid of you! I just want to find a way to leave here."
When the two sides were at a stalemate, Lin Xiao suddenly found a book emitting a mysterious light in the corner of the castle. The light was particularly dazzling in the darkness, as if calling her.
"What is that?" Lin Xiao's attention was attracted to it, and a hint of curiosity and hope surged in his heart.
She took advantage of the shadow's inattention and quickly ran over to pick up the book. The moment she touched the book, a strong force surged into her body, making her feel dizzy.
"This...what's going on?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
Seeing this, the black shadow's face turned extremely ugly and he shouted angrily: "Put down that book! You can't touch it!"
Lin Xiao held the book tightly, refusing to let go: "No, this may be the key for me to leave here! I won't let it go!"
