Chapter 839: Lin Xiao's Adventure: Breaking Through Adversity
Lin Xiao walked forward with difficulty on the muddy mountain road, taking one step deep and one step shallow, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"When will this broken road end?" she complained, panting.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunder.
"Oh my god, it's not going to rain heavily!" Lin Xiao's heart tightened.
The rain started to fall suddenly, soaking her like a drowned chicken in an instant.
"What bad luck!" She wiped the rain off her face.
At this time, the mountain road became more slippery, and Lin Xiao lost his balance and almost fell down.
"Be careful!" a strange voice came.
Lin Xiao looked up and saw a mysterious figure appear in front of him. The man was wearing a black cloak, half of his face was covered by a mask, and his exposed eyes were flashing with an inexplicable light.
"Who are you?" Lin Xiao asked vigilantly.
The mysterious man smiled and said, "I'm here to help you."
Lin Xiao was skeptical: "Really?"
The mysterious man nodded and handed her an umbrella: "Follow me."
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow him.
Along the way, the mysterious man didn't say a word, but just led the way silently in front.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going?"
The mysterious man's voice was low and mysterious: "You'll know when you get there."
As they went deeper into the mountains, the rain became heavier, as if the sky was also expressing some kind of sadness. Lin Xiao felt uneasy, feeling that this rain was not ordinary and seemed to hide some mysterious power.
At this moment, the mysterious man stopped, turned around and looked at Lin Xiao, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Lin Xiao, you are about to face an important choice." The mysterious man spoke slowly, with a hint of unquestionable power in his voice.
Lin Xiao was shocked: "Choice? What choice?"
The mysterious man pointed to an ancient stone door not far ahead: "That is the entrance to the Gate of Fantasy World. Once you enter, you will embark on a road full of unknowns and dangers. You must make a choice, whether to continue to stay in this world, or step through that door and pursue higher levels of power and truth."
Lin Xiao's heartbeat quickened. She looked at the stone door, and a strong curiosity and desire for adventure surged in her heart. But at the same time, she also felt a sense of fear and uneasiness, not knowing what was waiting for her behind the door.
"What if I choose to stay?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Then you can continue your life in this world, but will never be able to touch the deeper powers and truths," the mysterious man replied.
"What if I choose to enter?"
“Then you will have the opportunity to grow and become stronger, but you will also face endless dangers and challenges.” The mysterious man said and waved his hand. A series of phantoms appeared in the air, showing the adventures of the predecessors behind the Gate of the Fantasy World.
Lin Xiao looked at those phantoms, fear and curiosity intertwined in her heart. Finally, she took a deep breath and made a decision.
"I choose to enter." Lin Xiao said firmly.
The mysterious man nodded with a satisfied smile on his face. "Very good, Lin Xiao, you have shown true courage and adventurous spirit. Now, move forward."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and walked towards the stone gate. Just as she was about to step into the stone gate, she felt the air around her suddenly become warm, as if countless voices whispered in her ears, encouraging her to move forward.
The moment she stepped into the stone gate, Lin Xiao was surrounded by an indescribable feeling. She knew that her life would change from then on. As she passed through the stone gate, the figure of the mysterious man gradually disappeared in the rain, leaving only one sentence echoing in the wind: "Welcome to the fantasy world, Lin Xiao, I hope you will become your own legend."
