Chapter 562: Escape from the Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Game of Life and Death
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were like two trapped beasts in a desperate situation, firmly imprisoned in this eerie and terrifying castle that seemed to come from the depths of hell. The thick darkness around them was like a huge and invisible black hand, ruthlessly squeezing their living space, as if to completely devour their souls. Lin Xiao's whole body was shaking constantly, her originally bright eyes were now filled with extreme fear, and her voice was shaking like an autumn leaf blown by the cold wind: "Mo Yu, I... I'm really about to be scared to death, this damn place is simply purgatory on earth! It feels like we will be swallowed up by the darkness at any time!"
Although Mo Yu's face was full of solemnity, his gaze was still as firm as a rock. He tightly protected Lin Xiao behind him and comforted her in a steady and powerful voice: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid! As long as I am still alive, I will never let you get hurt!"
Like blind men groping for an elephant, they carefully groped their way forward in the endless darkness. Every step they took, the ancient stone slabs under their feet would make an eerie "creaking" sound, as if it was a curse from hell, or a countdown to death.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao suddenly let out a shrill scream. His entire body felt as if its spine had been pulled out. His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Mo Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly reached out to hold her, and asked with concern: "Xiao'er, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiao's face was as pale as paper, his lips trembled constantly, and he pointed at the ground with shaking fingers, his voice filled with undisguised fear: "There are...there are bones! So many bones!"
Mo Yu looked down in the direction of her finger, and saw piles of pale bones scattered on the ground. In the light that was so weak that it was almost negligible, they looked particularly eerie and terrifying.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao'er. These may be the remains of those who were unfortunately trapped here in the past." Mo Yu comforted Lin Xiao softly while observing the movements around him more vigilantly.
They continued to move forward fearfully, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a hall that was as spacious as a huge cave. In the center of the hall stood a huge and heavy stone table, on which were scattered a number of strangely shaped objects that exuded a strange aura.
Lin Xiao's curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn't help but want to get closer to take a closer look. Just as she was about to reach out and touch one of the black crystal balls, Mo Yu was quick to shout, "Don't touch it!"
However, it was too late, Lin Xiao's fingers had already gently touched the mysterious crystal ball.
In an instant, the entire hall was shrouded in a strong and dazzling light. Countless nightmare-like phantoms surged out of the crystal ball and instantly filled the entire space.
"This...what on earth is this thing?" Lin Xiao was frightened by the sudden horrifying scene before him and stepped back in fear.
Mo Yu's brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character, his eyes full of vigilance and uneasiness, and he said: "Oh no, Xiao'er, this may be some kind of extremely dangerous trap!"
All kinds of horrifying scenes kept emerging in those phantoms: terrifying monsters with bared fangs and hideous faces; bloody battlefields with splattered blood and corpses everywhere; and the vicious curse that made people shudder.
Lin Xiao was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes, and held onto Mo Yu's arms tightly with both hands. Her body kept shaking, and she cried out in a sobbing voice: "Mo Yu, I'm so scared, I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it!"
While Mo Yu held Lin Xiao tightly in his arms, he observed the surrounding situation intently. His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way to break this horrible trap.
At this moment, the phantoms suddenly turned into a powerful and evil force, like a violent beast, and pounced towards them.
Mo Yu did not hesitate and pushed Lin Xiao away with force, while he faced the surging force without hesitation.
"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao cried out heartbreakingly, his voice echoing in the empty hall, sounding particularly mournful.
Mo Yu was knocked flying by the powerful force, and his body hit the hard wall heavily like a kite with a broken string.
"Cough cough..." Mo Yu couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned pale as paper, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled to get up from the ground.
Lin Xiao rushed over desperately, tears pouring out like a flood. She held Mo Yu with trembling hands, her voice filled with endless worry and fear: "Mo Yu, how are you? I hope nothing happens to you!"
Mo Yu endured the severe pain in his body, forced a smile, and comforted: "Xiao'er, I'm fine, don't worry. This injury is nothing."
Just when they were almost in despair, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a line of almost imperceptible small words on the stone table.
"Mo Yu, look, there are words here!" There was a hint of surprise and hope in Lin Xiao's voice.
Mo Yu forced himself to be alert and took a closer look. It said: "The way to break the impasse is to be determined in your heart."
"This...what does this mean?" Lin Xiao asked in confusion.
Mo Yu fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, this is telling us that only by maintaining firm faith can we find a way out and escape from this terrible place."
At this moment, a new terrible change occurred in the hall. Thick blood began to slowly seep out of the walls, as if the castle was crying in pain; the ground also began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Mo Yu shouted, pulled Lin Xiao's hand, and ran desperately towards a direction that seemed to have an exit.
They were running frantically in the darkness, with the ancient castle crumbling behind them and huge rocks and dust falling like raindrops.
Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.
"Is that the exit?" Lin Xiao's eyes were full of hope, and his voice trembled a little with excitement.
Mo Yu said: "No matter whether it is true or not, let's go and take a look first!"
They ran towards the light, and when they finally rushed out of the light, they found themselves in a mysterious and unfamiliar valley.
The valley was filled with thick fog, like a thick white veil, covering everything. All around was silence, with only the occasional chirping of unknown birds breaking the deathly silence.
"This... where is this?" Lin Xiao looked at the strange and unknown environment in front of him, his heart filled with anxiety and fear again.
Mo Yu took a deep breath and said, "Xiao'er, no matter what, let's find a place to rest first, and then think of a way out."
However, they did not know that in this seemingly peaceful and mysterious valley, there were more unexpected dangers and more thrilling challenges waiting for them to face...
