Chapter 548: "Amazing Changes in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Adventure in the Dark C
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side in front of the eerie old castle. The night was like a huge black curtain, covering the whole world tightly. The moon seemed to be covered by an invisible hand, and only a few faint rays of light occasionally shone through the gaps in the dark clouds, making the eerie outline of the castle looming. Various strange noises came from the surrounding woods from time to time, as if countless ghosts were whispering, or as if evil monsters were grinding their teeth and sucking blood.
Lin Xiao hugged her arms tightly, her body trembling constantly, her teeth chattering, her once bright eyes now filled with fear, her voice trembling almost out of tune: "Mo Yu, this place is too scary! Why do I feel like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us in the dark, as if they are waiting to pounce on us and eat us alive at any time! What the hell is this place!"
Mo Yu had a solemn expression on his face, holding the sharp sword tightly in his hand. The blade gleamed coldly in the weak light. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, scanning the surroundings vigilantly. His voice was low and firm: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here. But we really have to be careful, this castle exudes an evil aura."
They stepped into the castle carefully, and a stale and decayed smell hit them in the face, like an ancient tomb that had not been ventilated for thousands of years, which made their stomachs churn. The torches in the hall swayed on the walls, flickering a dim and strange light, stretching the shadows around into strange shapes, as if a group of twisted monsters were baring their fangs and claws.
"This...what the hell is this place? It feels like I'm in the set of a horror movie!" Lin Xiao frowned, her face full of disgust and fear. Her steps became very hesitant, and every step she took felt like she was walking on the edge of a knife.
Mo Yu said softly: "Be careful, Xiao'er, this castle may hide countless dangers and secrets."
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the wind was so strong that it seemed to blow from the depths of hell. It blew out the torches in an instant, and the whole hall was instantly plunged into darkness where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, the sound so sharp that it almost pierced one's eardrums.
Mo Yu quickly reached out and grabbed her, saying anxiously, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here!"
At this moment, a sinister laugh came from the darkness. The laugh seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, carrying with it endless chill and evil: "Hahahaha, you are finally here, stupid humans!"
Lin Xiao's heartbeat instantly accelerated to the extreme, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Her voice trembled like a leaf in the wind: "Who... who are you? Come out... quickly! Stop playing tricks!"
A black shadow slowly emerged from the darkness. The face was still unclear, but the powerful pressure was like a mountain pressing down on one's head, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"You have trespassed into my territory, and you will have to pay a heavy price!" the black shadow said coldly, and the voice seemed to be able to freeze people's souls.
Mo Yu protected Lin Xiao behind him without hesitation, pointed the sword in his hand straight at the black shadow, and shouted loudly: "Don't even think about hurting her! Come at me if you dare!"
The black shadow snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and an irresistible force surged towards them.
Mo Yu gritted his teeth and fought hard, engaging in a thrilling fight with the black shadow. His figure was like a flash of lightning in the darkness, and his sword moves were fierce, with every move carrying a determination to die.
"Mo Yu, be careful!" Lin Xiao shouted anxiously, his voice full of concern and fear.
Mo Yu was gradually at a disadvantage, with multiple wounds appearing on his body and blood staining his clothes red, but his eyes remained firm and he showed no intention of retreating.
Lin Xiao was anxious and looked around. Suddenly, she found a mysterious pattern on the wall. The pattern was flashing with a faint light, as if calling her.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao didn't have time to think about it and reached out to touch the pattern.
Instantly, a dazzling light burst out from the pattern, illuminating the entire hall. The light was as hot as the sun, causing the black shadow to howl in pain.
Mo Yu took the opportunity to launch a fatal attack. He jumped high and the sword in his hand stabbed straight into the black shadow's heart.
"Ah!" The black shadow let out a final scream and fell to the ground.
However, just when they thought they had won, the castle began to shake violently, and huge cracks appeared in the ground, as if they were going to swallow up the entire castle.
"Oh no, the castle is going to collapse!" Lin Xiao shouted in horror, his voice full of despair.
Mo Yu grabbed Lin Xiao's hand and shouted, "Hurry, follow me!"
They ran desperately in the collapsing castle, with rocks falling from overhead from time to time, hitting the ground with loud noises.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao was hit on the shoulder by a falling stone, and the pain made her almost cry.
Mo Yu picked her up without hesitation and continued to rush forward, saying as he ran: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, we will definitely get out!"
Finally, they escaped from the castle. A huge roar was heard behind them, and the castle turned into ruins in a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Huh... I finally escaped." Lin Xiao collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his face full of relief at surviving the disaster.
Mo Yu was so tired that he sat on the ground. He looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "It's okay, Xiao'er."
But at this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered that a group of black shadows were approaching them rapidly in the distance.
"Oh no, Mo Yu, look!" Lin Xiao pointed at the distance in horror.
Mo Yu stood up, clenched the sword in his hand, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, no matter what comes, I will protect you!"
