Chapter 561: Exploring the Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Journey into the Horrifying Forest
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood trembling at the entrance of the dark and gloomy forest that seemed to devour all life. The thick fog around them was like a heavy curtain, completely isolating them from the outside world. Lin Xiao tightly grasped the corner of Mo Yu's clothes, his body trembling constantly, and his voice trembling like a leaf in the wind: "Mo Yu, my God! This place looks too weird! I'm almost scared to death, it feels like I walked into the set of a horror movie!"
Mo Yu frowned, looking around vigilantly, and reached out to pat Lin Xiao's hand gently, comforting her: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid! I'm here. Even if the King of Hell comes, he has to get past me first!"
Lin Xiao raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness, and she cried, "But Mo Yu, this atmosphere is so weird. I always feel like there are countless pairs of spooky eyes staring at us in the dark, ready to pounce on us at any time!"
Mo Yu took a deep breath, clenched the sword in his hand, and said firmly: "No matter what, we have to try. Maybe this ghost place hides the key clues that can solve all the mysteries. If we miss it, we will regret it!"
After that, Mo Yu took the lead and stepped into the forest full of unknowns and dangers. Lin Xiao bit his lip and followed him. The forest was eerily quiet, with only their cautious footsteps and the occasional crisp sound of branches breaking.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao suddenly let out a shrill scream and almost fell to the ground.
Mo Yu turned around quickly, held her, and asked anxiously: "Xiao'er, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiao's face turned pale as paper. He pointed his trembling fingers at the ground and stammered, "There's... there's a snake! A super big snake!"
I saw a colorful, sturdy snake coiled on the side of the road, hissing as its tongue flickered in and out, sending chills down your spine. Mo Yu swung his sword at the snake without hesitation, shouting, "Get out of here, you beast!"
The big snake was frightened and quickly ran into the bushes and disappeared. Mo Yu pulled Lin Xiao up and continued to move forward carefully.
As they walked, they came to a huge cave. There was a pungent smell at the entrance of the cave, which was like a mixture of rotting corpses and chemicals, making people sick.
Lin Xiao quickly covered his mouth and nose, frowning, and said, "Mo Yu, there won't be any man-eating monsters hiding in this cave, right? I think we should not go in, it's too scary!"
Mo Yu stared at the cave entrance with a determined look and said, "Xiao'er, you can't get a tiger cub without taking the risk. We have come this far, we can't give up halfway!"
As soon as he entered the cave, a gust of cool wind blew in his face. The wind was chilly and biting. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, his teeth chattering, and he said, "Mo Yu, I'm really scared. It feels like this wind carries the breath of death!"
There were strange lights flickering on the walls of the cave, and those lights flickered, as if telling some unknown secrets.
"Mo Yu, what the hell is this thing?" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with fear and confusion.
Mo Yu observed the surroundings vigilantly and said, "Xiao'er, be careful, this place is weird, we have to be extra careful!"
Suddenly, a low roar came from deep in the cave. The sound seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, shaking the entire cave slightly.
"Oh no, there's something!" Mo Yu's face instantly became solemn. He gripped the sword tightly, his body tensed, ready for battle.
A huge, hideous monster rushed out of the darkness. It was covered with sharp spikes, its eyes flashed blood-red light, and it pounced towards them with its fangs and claws bared.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao was frightened and collapsed to the ground. His legs went weak and he couldn't move at all.
Mo Yu did not retreat. He roared, "Come on, beast!" Then he waved his sword and rushed towards the monster.
Mo Yu's swordsmanship was fierce, and every move was full of determination to kill. His figure flashed in the cave, and he started a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the monster.
"Mo Yu, be careful!" Lin Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs, tears welling up in his eyes.
After a hard fight, Mo Yu finally found the monster's weakness. He used all his strength and stabbed the monster's vital point with a sword. The monster let out a painful roar and fell to the ground.
"Huh...finally solved." Mo Yu gasped heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat.
Lin Xiao crawled over and threw herself into Mo Yu's arms, crying and saying, "Mo Yu, you scared me to death, I thought... I thought you..."
Mo Yu gently patted Lin Xiao's back and comforted her, "Xiao'er, don't be afraid. I'm fine."
Just when they thought the danger was over and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, some strange runes suddenly appeared on the cave wall. These runes flashed with mysterious light, as if they were beating with life.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise, eyes wide open.
Mo Yu carefully observed these runes, his expression becoming more serious, and said: "I'm afraid this is the real test, we have to deal with it carefully."
At this moment, the rune suddenly emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were enveloped by the light and instantly lost consciousness...
When they woke up again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place, surrounded by a barren desert, with the scorching sun in the sky and the heat unbearable.
"This... where is this?" Lin Xiao looked around, confused.
Mo Yu stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I don't know, but we have to find a way out."
They struggled forward in the desert, and every step seemed to exhaust all their strength.
"Mo Yu, I can't walk anymore. I'm so thirsty..." Lin Xiao said weakly.
Mo Yu took out the remaining water from his backpack, handed it to Lin Xiao, and said, "Xiao'er, drink it sparingly."
Lin Xiao took the water, took a sip, returned the rest to Mo Yu, and said, "Mo Yu, you drink some too."
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty, you keep it."
Just then, an ancient castle suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Mo Yu, look, what is that?" Lin Xiao pointed in the direction of the castle and said hopefully.
Mo Yu squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said: "I don't know, but it may be our turning point. Let's go and take a look."
They walked towards the castle. The gate of the castle was closed and there were some strange patterns carved on the door.
"This pattern looks so mysterious!" Lin Xiao said.
Mo Yu said: "Don't move, be careful of traps."
Just when they were hesitating whether to push the door open, it suddenly opened automatically.
"This...what's going on?" Lin Xiao took a few steps back in fright.
Mo Yu said: "Don't be afraid, go in and take a look."
They walked into the castle, which was filled with an old smell.
"It feels like no one has been here for a long time." Lin Xiao said in a low voice.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in their ears: "Welcome to the Death Castle..."
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their hearts filled with fear and doubt...
