Chapter 745: The Fantasy World in Turbulence: Lin Xiao's Extraordinary Adventure
Lin Xiao stood alone in the barren desert. The strong wind was like a mad beast, blowing up the dust and lashing her face like crazy, as if to tear her skin apart. She squinted her eyes tightly, trying to look into the distance through the thick dust, and couldn't help muttering, "This damn place is simply hell mode! God, are you deliberately messing with me?"
At this moment, the system's somewhat teasing voice sounded in her mind: "Dear, don't be so pessimistic. This is a necessary test for you to become a superstar! Think about the glory and halo, what does this little bit of hardship mean?"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at the sky and shouted, "Humph, you sound so easy! If you have the guts, come and try this windy, sandy and scorching heat yourself!"
She trudged through the desert, one foot deep and one foot shallow, each step felt like dragging a heavy lead block. Sweat dripped down her forehead and cheeks like a flood, and was instantly evaporated by the hot air. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the sand under her feet began to loosen, and before she could react, she fell into a huge quicksand pit.
"Oh, help!" Lin Xiao shouted in horror, his voice full of despair and fear.
Just when she thought she was about to be swallowed up mercilessly by the quicksand, a strong and powerful hand suddenly reached out.
"Catch me!" a strange and firm voice shouted.
Lin Xiao felt like he had grabbed the last straw and held on to that hand with all his strength, feeling the powerful force pulling him out from the brink of death little by little.
She sat limply on the ground, breathing heavily, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death battle. After a long while, she finally came to her senses and said, "Thank... Thank you! If it weren't for you, I might have..."
The man smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth. The sunlight shone on his face, reflecting his resolute outline. "You're welcome, sister. In this fantasy world full of unknowns, everyone should help each other."
Lin Xiao stood up with difficulty, patted the sand on his body, his eyes full of gratitude and curiosity: "What's your name?"
"My name is Ling Feng, an adventurer who has been wandering in this fantasy continent for a long time." Ling Feng's voice was full of confidence and unrestrainedness.
"Then let's go together, maybe we can find a way out of this damn place quickly." Lin Xiao looked at Ling Feng, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Okay!" Ling Feng agreed readily, his eyes full of expectations for the future.
So, the two of them walked side by side, leaving a series of deep and shallow footprints in the vast desert.
"Why are there so many strange places in this fantasy continent? It feels like every step I take is like challenging my limit." Lin Xiao asked curiously as he walked.
Ling Feng shrugged, looked into the distance and said: "Who knows? Maybe this is its charm. It is these unknowns and challenges that attract countless brave people to come and explore."
As they walked, an ancient and mysterious castle appeared before their eyes. The castle was towering into the clouds, and its walls were covered with traces of time. Under the sunlight, it looked gloomy and majestic.
"This castle looks eerie. Is there any danger? I feel uneasy." Lin Xiao unconsciously moved closer to Ling Feng, his voice trembling slightly.
Ling Feng patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here! Even if there are any monsters, we can get through it together!"
The two approached the castle cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. When they arrived at the castle gate, the heavy door slowly opened, and an old and mysterious atmosphere came to their faces...
