Chapter 557 "A Fantasy World of Despair: Lin Xiaomoyu's Battle of Life and Death"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu struggled forward in the dark and gloomy forest, one step deep and one step shallow. The towering trees around them were like huge monsters, stretching out twisted branches, as if to wrap them tightly. The mottled moonlight struggled to shine through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, forming strange spots of light, like mysterious runes jumping on the ground. Lin Xiao's face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with deep fear and uneasiness. She tightly pulled the corner of Mo Yu's clothes, her fingers turned white at the joints due to excessive force, and her voice trembled like fallen leaves in the wind: "Mo Yu, I feel this place is so gloomy, as if there are countless pairs of evil eyes staring at us in the dark, my little heart is almost scared to death! What kind of hell is this place?"
Mo Yu's expression was as solemn as iron, his brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, he held the sword tightly in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. Every move he made was full of vigilance, as if he was ready to deal with sudden danger at any time. He comforted Lin Xiao in a low and firm voice: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here. Even if it's hell, I will protect you."
Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled. The sound seemed like countless ghosts crying and cursing. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, his teeth chattered, and his body involuntarily leaned towards Mo Yu: "This wind is too weird, it feels like it's blowing from hell, it's so cold that my bones are frozen!"
Mo Yu stopped and listened attentively to the faint movement in the wind. His face became more gloomy and his brows knitted tighter. "Something is wrong. This wind seems to carry a strong smell of blood and danger. Xiao'er, you must be careful."
At this moment, a sinister and terrifying laugh came from the front. The laughter echoed in the silent forest, as if it came from the abyss of Hell, making people shudder.
"Who? Who's there? Come out if you've got the guts, and stop playing tricks!" Lin Xiao shouted in horror, his voice becoming sharp and piercing because of extreme fear.
Mo Yu stood in front of Lin Xiao, his eyes wide open, and shouted loudly: "Come out! What kind of hero is it to hide your head and show your tail? If you have the guts, fight head-on!"
However, the only response they got was the chilling laughter, which grew louder and crazier, as if it was going to devour their souls. Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was going to jump out of his throat, and his breathing became rapid and disordered.
"Mo Yu, I... I'm so scared, what on earth is causing this?" Lin Xiao's voice was tearful, tears welling up in his eyes, ready to burst out at any time.
Mo Yu held her hand, giving her a little warmth and comfort, but his eyes were still firm: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, no matter what kind of monster it is, I won't let them hurt you in the slightest."
They continued to move forward cautiously. The dead branches and leaves under their feet made a creaking sound, which was particularly clear in the silent forest, as if it was a countdown to death.
Suddenly, an enormous python suddenly jumped out from the tree above their heads, opened its bloody mouth, and spewed out a pungent fishy smell. Its sharp fangs flashed coldly in the moonlight, and it pounced towards them fiercely.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu reacted quickly, pushed Lin Xiao away, and faced the ferocious python.
Lin Xiao fell to the ground, watching in horror as Mo Yu and the python started a fierce fight. Her heart was in her throat, and she covered her mouth tightly with both hands, fearing that she would not be able to hold back and scream.
Mo Yu's swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind, and every strike was deadly. Every swing of the sword was full of powerful momentum and determination. But the python was not to be outdone, twisting its huge and sturdy body, trying to entangle Mo Yu. Its scales flashed with a strange light, and every attack carried a deadly threat.
"Mo Yu, come on! You must defeat it!" Lin Xiao shouted anxiously, his voice full of concern and encouragement.
After a thrilling and bitter battle, Mo Yu finally found the python's weakness. He seized the opportunity and stabbed the python hard with a sword. The python let out a shrill scream, blood splattered, and its huge body fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Huh, finally solved." Mo Yu breathed heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat, but a smile of victory appeared on his face.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a group of dark shadows suddenly appeared around them and slowly approached them. Those dark shadows were of different shapes, some like humans, some like beasts, and exuded an evil and terrifying aura.
"This...what is this? Are we in a desperate situation?" Lin Xiao's voice was full of despair and helplessness. Her legs were weak and she could hardly stand.
Mo Yu gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Xiao'er, no matter what, I will do my best to protect you, even if it means sacrificing my life."
A hint of determination flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes: "Mo Yu, let's face it together, I won't back down!"
Just as they were about to fight a desperate battle with the shadow, a mysterious and cold voice sounded in their ears: "If you want to leave here alive, you must make a choice. Either give up each other and escape alone, or face the unknown terror together, and live and die together."
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and trust.
Lin Xiao shouted, "Humph, if you want to separate us, there's no way! We have to fight together to the end!"
Mo Yu nodded and said, "That's right, life and death are determined by fate, and we will never separate!"
At this moment, the shadows suddenly launched an attack, and a more intense and cruel battle was about to begin...
