Chapter 565: Lin Xiaomoyu's Tribulation in the Sea of Sand
Chapter 565: The Fantasy World of Despair: Lin Xiaomoyu's Life and Death in the Sea of Sand
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side on the edge of the vast desert that seemed to swallow up all life. The scorching sun was like countless red-hot steel needles, mercilessly piercing their skin. Lin Xiao frowned, sweat rolled down her forehead, she squinted her eyes, looked at the endless sea of sand, opened her mouth wide, and couldn't help but swear: "Oh my god, this damn place is simply hell! Why did we run here? This is God deliberately making trouble for us!"
Mo Yu looked solemn, his bronze face glistening in the sun. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead and said, "Xiao'er, stop complaining. We should make the best of it. This may be the key to solving all the mysteries."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at him, put his hands on his hips, and said angrily: "Humph, that's easy for you to say! What secrets can there be in this endless desert? I think it's a death trap!"
The two of them stepped into the scorching desert, one foot deep and one foot shallow. With every step, their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, sinking deeply into the soft sand. The howling wind swept in, blowing up a sky full of sand and dust, hitting their faces so hard that they felt as if they were being bitten fiercely by countless small insects.
"Oh, the sand is blinding me! This damn wind is going to blow me into a sand sculpture!" Lin Xiao complained loudly while rubbing his eyes.
Mo Yu held her hand tightly and shouted, "Be careful, Xiao'er, follow me! Don't get lost!"
They walked forward with difficulty for a long time, as if time had stopped in this desert. Just when they were about to be exhausted, an ancient and mysterious relic suddenly appeared before their eyes, like a castle rising from the depths of the desert, exuding a creepy atmosphere.
Lin Xiao was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, his eyes widened like bells: "What is this? Is there a treasure hidden inside? Or is there some terrible monster waiting for us?"
Mo Yu shook his head, his eyes full of vigilance: "I don't know, but it feels like it's not simple, let's be careful."
They walked into the ruins carefully. There was an old and decayed smell in the air, just like the smell from a thousand-year-old tomb, which made people's stomachs churn. There were strange patterns and symbols carved on the walls, some of which looked like twisted snakes, and some like hideous ghost faces, which made people confused.
"What are these? They look like ghost drawings. They make my head hurt!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but complain.
Suddenly, a low and terrifying roar came from the depths of the ruins. The sound seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.
Lin Xiao was so scared that he shivered, and all the hair on his body stood up. He screamed, "Oh my god, there must be a monster! I don't want to be a monster's lunch!"
Mo Yu clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes firm and cold, and said: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge sand beast rushed out from the dark shadows. The sand beast was as big as a mountain, covered with hard gravel, and its sharp claws flashed with cold light, and it pounced on them with its fangs and claws bared.
Lin Xiao was so scared that he dodged around like a frightened rabbit, shouting as he ran: "Help! Someone save us!"
Mo Yu was not afraid at all, and faced the sand beast. The sword in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air: "Beast, look at the sword!"
His swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind, and every move was full of determination to kill. The sand beast roared and started a fierce fight with Mo Yu.
"Xiao'er, find a place to hide quickly!" Mo Yu shouted.
Lin Xiao hid behind a huge stone pillar in panic, his heart in his throat.
"Mo Yu, you must be careful!" she shouted nervously.
Lin Xiao also mustered up his courage, picked up a stone, and threw it at the sand beast: "Go to hell, you ugly guy!"
After a thrilling and bitter battle, the sand beast finally fell under Mo Yu's sword. Mo Yu and Lin Xiao were so tired that they collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
"It's so difficult at the beginning, and I don't know what will happen next. I feel like I'm going to die here." Lin Xiao said, panting.
Mo Yu stood up, wiped the blood off his face, and said, "Don't be discouraged, Xiao'er, I feel the answer is just ahead. As long as we don't give up, we will definitely find a way out."
They supported each other and continued to go deeper into the ruins. They came to a huge stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber was a mysterious stone platform, on which was placed a gem that emitted a strange light. The gem was shining with a dreamy light, as if telling an ancient secret.
Lin Xiao walked over curiously, staring at the gem, muttering to himself: "Is this what we are looking for? It looks so mysterious."
Just as she reached out to touch the gem, Mo Yu shouted, "Don't touch it! It could be dangerous!"
However, it was too late. Lin Xiao's hand had already touched the gemstone. In an instant, the light became brighter and enveloped them. In the light, their bodies gradually became transparent, as if they were about to be swallowed by the light.
When the light disappeared, they found themselves in an unfamiliar space. It was dark all around with only twinkling stars, as if they were in the vast universe.
"Where is this? How did we get here? I'm so scared, Mo Yu." Lin Xiao was panicked, with tears in his voice.
Mo Yu also looked confused. He looked around vigilantly and said, "I don't know, but we must find a way out. I won't let anything happen to you, Xiao'er."
At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded in the darkness, the voice was ethereal and distant, as if it came from another world: "If you want to leave, you must pass the test..."
