Chapter 560 "A Fantasy Adventure in the Sea of Sand: Lin Xiaomoyu's Breakout from Despair"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood on the edge of the endless desert that seemed to swallow up all life. The scorching sun was like countless red-hot steel needles, piercing their skin mercilessly. Lin Xiao raised her hand, trying to block the strong light that could almost blind people's eyes, and kept muttering: "Oh my god, what the hell is this place? It's like hell on earth! How could I be so unlucky to be thrown into this broken place!" Her face was covered with sweat, mixed with sand and dust, forming dirty traces, and her originally delicate face now looked embarrassed.
Mo Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the endless sea of sand, his expression solemn, his lips tight into a straight line, and said, "Xiao'er, stop complaining. We should make the best of it. This is a hurdle we must overcome." His voice was hoarse and revealed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes still flashed with determination.
Lin Xiao rolled her eyes at him, put her hands on her hips, and shouted angrily: "Humph! That's easy for you to say, but how are we going to get through? I feel like I'll be buried alive in the sand if I step in! You better think of a way for me!" Her body trembled slightly with anger, and the wind and sand blew the corners of her clothes, making a rustling sound.
Mo Yu took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, as long as we find the legendary oasis, there is still a glimmer of hope." As he said that, he took out a worn map from his backpack and studied it carefully.
The two of them walked into the desert, one step deep and one step shallow. The strong wind carried the yellow sand all over the sky, forming huge sand waves that swept towards them.
"Oh my God! The sand is almost burying me!" Lin Xiao screamed and covered her mouth and nose with her hands. Her eyes were hurt by the sand and tears kept flowing out.
Mo Yu grabbed her and shouted, "Xiao'er, be careful! Follow me!" His figure looked firm and tenacious in the strong wind.
After walking for a while, Lin Xiao felt his mouth dry, as if there was a fire burning in his throat, and his steps became heavy as lead.
"I can't walk anymore, Mo Yu, I want to drink water! I feel like I'm going to die here!" Lin Xiao collapsed to the ground weakly, his voice filled with tears.
Mo Yu stopped, took out the only remaining water from his backpack, handed it to Lin Xiao, and said, "Drink it sparingly, Xiao'er, this may be our last water." His eyes were full of worry.
Lin Xiao took the water, gulped down a few gulps, then handed the water to Mo Yu and said, "What should we do? If we can't find any more water, we're really going to die of thirst here."
At this moment, an ancient and mysterious castle suddenly appeared in the distance. Under the sunlight, the castle emitted a strange light, as if it had suddenly descended into the desert from another world.
"Mo Yu, look, what is that? Is it a mirage?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes and pointed in the direction of the castle, his voice full of surprise and a hint of hope.
Mo Yu narrowed his eyes, observed carefully for a while, and said: "I don't know, but it may be our turning point. No matter what, we have to go and take a look."
The two dragged their tired bodies and walked towards the castle with difficulty. The castle gate was closed, and there were strange symbols and patterns engraved on the door. There was a mysterious and gloomy atmosphere around.
Lin Xiao walked forward, knocked on the door hard, and shouted, "Is anyone there? Open the door!" However, there was no response except her own voice echoing in the empty desert.
Mo Yu walked forward and pushed the door hard with both hands, but the door did not move at all, as if it was sealed by a mysterious force.
"What should we do? Are we being turned away like this?" Lin Xiao paced anxiously in front of the door, his face full of anxiety.
Mo Yu walked around the castle and finally found a small window.
"Xiao'er, wait here. I'll go in through the window and take a look." Mo Yu said as he climbed up the window nimbly.
Lin Xiao was waiting anxiously below, his hands clasped tightly together, praying in his heart.
After a while, Mo Yu opened the door from the inside.
"Come in." Mo Yu said.
Lin Xiao walked into the castle, which was dark and damp inside, filled with a foul smell. The torches on the walls flickered with faint light, making the shadows around them even more eerie.
"This place feels eerie, isn't it dangerous? Mo Yu, I'm scared." Lin Xiao grabbed Mo Yu's arm tightly, his voice trembling.
Mo Yu comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here."
Suddenly, a sinister laughter echoed in the castle. The laughter seemed to come from the depths of hell, making people feel creepy.
"Who? Who is laughing?" Lin Xiao was so scared that his face turned pale and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
At this time, a mysterious figure appeared in front of them. The figure was shrouded in darkness, and the face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light could be seen.
"You are finally here." The mysterious man's voice seemed to come from a distant place, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at the mysterious man warily and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The mysterious man smiled and said, "I am the guardian of this castle. If you want to pass through here, you must complete a task."
Lin Xiao frowned and asked, "What mission? Tell me!"
The mysterious man said, "There is a magical sword deep in the castle. Only by getting it can you leave here and find the direction of the oasis. However, there are many traps and ferocious monsters guarding it."
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, and then said firmly: "We accept the mission! No matter how difficult it is, we must get the sword!"
The mysterious man smiled and said, "Okay, then I wish you good luck." After that, the mysterious man disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu walked forward cautiously along the dark passage. There was a pungent smell in the passage, and water dripped from the wall from time to time, making a "tick-tick" sound.
"Mo Yu, I always feel that this place is eerie, as if something is staring at us." Lin Xiao's voice trembled and his eyes kept looking around.
Mo Yu held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here."
Suddenly, a low roar came from the front.
"What's that sound?" Lin Xiao stopped in fright.
A huge monster rushed out from the darkness. Its body was like a lion, but it had a pair of huge wings and flames spewed out of its mouth.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu pushed Lin Xiao away and faced the monster himself.
Mo Yu drew out his sword and started a fierce fight with the monster. His sword skills were sharp and each move was powerful.
"Mo Yu, be careful!" Lin Xiao shouted anxiously.
After a hard fight, Mo Yu finally found the monster's weakness and stabbed its heart with a sword. The monster screamed and fell to the ground.
"Mo Yu, are you okay?" Lin Xiao ran over and asked with concern.
Mo Yu wiped the sweat from his face and said, "I'm fine, let's move on."
The two continued walking forward and finally came to the room where the sword was stored. The room was full of various traps, and if you were not careful you would fall into an irretrievable situation.
"Xiao'er, be careful and follow me." Mo Yu carefully avoided one mechanism after another.
Just when they were about to get the sword, countless poisonous arrows suddenly appeared in the room.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu protected Lin Xiao behind him and blocked the poisonous arrow with his sword.
After some hard work, they finally got the sword.
However, just as they were about to leave, the castle began to shake violently, as if it was about to collapse.
"Oh no, let's go!" Mo Yu pulled Lin Xiao and ran towards the exit.
Can they successfully escape from the castle and find the oasis? Everything is unknown...
