Chapter 567: Life and Death
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side at the edge of the dark and gloomy forest. The moonlight was like a veil, faintly sprinkled on them. The thick fog around them seemed like a living monster, trying to devour them with its fangs and claws. Lin Xiao tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, her palms were full of sweat, her lips trembled slightly, and her voice was obviously full of fear: "Mo Yu, why do I feel that this place is like a scene in a horror movie, so gloomy, is there really something scary that suddenly pops up? My little darling can't stand it!"
Mo Yu had a calm face, his eyes like two sharp swords, scanning the surrounding darkness sharply. He reached out and gently patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, 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!"
They stepped into the forest cautiously. The dead branches and leaves under their feet made a crunching sound under their footsteps, as if the forest was expressing its dissatisfaction and protest.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the wind was like a pair of cold hands, fiercely scraping across Lin Xiao's cheeks. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, hugged his arms tightly, and his teeth began to "click". "Why is this wind so cold? It feels like it's blowing from the underworld. Is it some evil ghost?"
Mo Yu frowned, his expression became more serious, and whispered: "Be careful, the wind is wrong, I'm afraid there is danger approaching."
Before he finished speaking, a huge spider suddenly dropped from the tree above his head. The spider was huge, and its hairy legs were like thick steel needles. Its ferocious appearance was creepy.
"Oh my God!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, his face turned pale in an instant, and he almost threw the dagger in his hand away.
Mo Yu reacted quickly, unsheathing the sword in his hand, slashing at the spider with a flash of cold light, while shouting, "Xiao'er, stay away!"
Mo Yu's swordsmanship was fierce, and each of his swords had the power to break the wind. The spider was not to be outdone, waving its sharp claws and engaging in a fierce fight with Mo Yu.
"Puchi!" Mo Yu's sword cut a deep cut on the spider, and green juice splashed out.
The spider let out a cry of pain and turned to escape.
Lin Xiao was so nervous watching from the side that he shouted nervously, "Mo Yu, be careful that it runs away and comes back for revenge!"
Mo Yu panted and said, "Ignore it for now, let's keep moving forward."
They continued to grope their way through the forest. The air was filled with a pungent smell, which was like the smell of a rotting corpse and was disgusting.
Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose, frowned, and complained: "What is this smell? It's so stinking. It feels like walking into a large garbage dump!"
Mo Yu said vigilantly: "I'm afraid there are more dangerous things nearby. We must be extra careful."
At this moment, a low roar came from the front. The sound seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, shaking the ground slightly.
Lin Xiao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, his eyes widened, and he asked in a trembling voice: "What...what is this? Could it be that the dinosaurs have been resurrected?"
I saw a huge white tiger slowly walking out of the shadows, its eyes flashing with ferocity and its sharp teeth shining coldly in the moonlight.
Mo Yu took a deep breath, gripped the sword tighter, and said, "Xiao'er, get ready to fight! This is going to be a tough battle!"
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, clenched his dagger, and encouraged himself: "Let's fight! At worst, I can be a brave man again in 18 years!"
Mo Yu rushed towards the white tiger first, his sword drew an arc in the air, with a sharp sound of wind. The white tiger was not to be outdone, opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Mo Yu.
Mo Yu dodged the white tiger's attack by moving sideways, and then stabbed the white tiger in the back with his sword.
The white tiger felt pain, roared, and attacked Mo Yu even more frantically.
Lin Xiao looked for an opportunity and took advantage of the white tiger's inattention to stab its hind legs.
The white tiger turned its head to look at Lin Xiao and waved its claws angrily.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu shouted, flew over and protected Lin Xiao under him.
Just as they were gradually gaining the upper hand, the white tiger suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar. The surrounding trees began to shake violently, as if responding to the white tiger's call. A group of small animals rushed out from all directions and surrounded them.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened, his face full of fear: "What...what should we do? We are surrounded!"
Mo Yu shouted, "Xiao'er, don't panic, we will definitely be able to rush out! As long as we work together, nothing can stop us!"
Lin Xiao bit her lip and nodded firmly: "Okay, let's fight!"
They stood back to back and fought a desperate battle with the group of small beasts. Lin Xiao's clothes were torn by branches, and her face was covered with sweat and dirt, but her eyes remained firm.
Mo Yu also had several more wounds on his body, but his fighting spirit was not diminished at all, and he swung the sword in his hand even more violently.
"Kill!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, as if he wanted to release all the anger and courage in his heart.
Lin Xiao also shouted: "Fight them!"
After a fierce battle, they finally fought their way out and the little animals fled.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu collapsed to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.
"Finally...finally escaped." Lin Xiao said weakly.
Mo Yu forced a smile: "Yes, but this is not over yet, we have to find a way out quickly."
