Chapter 971: Potential Crisis: The Lurking Shadow
When Lin Xiao and Mo Yu successfully defeated the giant and the fantasy world was immersed in the joy and celebration of victory, no one noticed that a quietly surging dark force was lurking in the corner of the fantasy world like a shadow.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu walked side by side on the busy street, surrounded by people's laughter and joy, but a sense of uneasiness rose in Lin Xiao's heart.
"Mo Yu, I don't know why, but I always feel that things are not over yet." Lin Xiao frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Mo Yu held her hand and comforted her: "Xiao'er, maybe you are too nervous. The giant has been defeated, and the fantasy world has ushered in peace."
However, at this moment, a strange black light suddenly flashed across the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, feeling more and more uneasy: "Mo Yu, this is definitely not ordinary."
Mo Yu looked solemn and nodded: "We need to pay more attention."
At the same time, in an ancient ruin in the fantasy world, a mysterious power is awakening. The breath of darkness is spreading, and the ancient runes are flashing with strange light.
A mysterious figure appeared in the ruins. He was wearing a black robe, his face was covered in shadows, leaving only a pair of eyes that sparkled with a faint light.
"Lin Xiao, Mo Yu, your victory is only temporary." His voice was low and eerie, like a whisper from hell.
In every corner of the fantasy world, some strange phenomena began to appear. The originally calm river suddenly became turbulent, and the wild beasts in the mountains and forests became extremely violent and even attacked nearby villages.
After receiving the news, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu immediately went to investigate.
"What is going on?" Lin Xiao looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, full of confusion.
Mo Yu squatted down, examined the bodies of the beasts, and said, "These beasts seem to be controlled by some evil force."
Just when they were puzzled, a mysterious woman appeared in front of them.
The woman was wearing a purple dress, with a graceful figure, but her eyes were cold and indifferent: "Lin Xiao, Mo Yu, you have caused a big disaster."
Lin Xiao looked at her warily: "Who are you? Why do you say that?"
The woman sneered: "I am a messenger from the dark abyss. Although the giant was defeated, his power did not completely dissipate. Instead, it awakened a more powerful dark existence."
Mo Yu frowned: "Are you telling the truth?"
The woman didn't answer and turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were fully aware of the seriousness of the matter. They began to look for clues everywhere, trying to uncover the conspiracy behind it.
In an ancient library, Lin Xiao discovered an ancient book that had been covered in dust for a long time.
"Mo Yu, look, this ancient book may have the answers we want." Lin Xiao said excitedly.
Mo Yu came over and they studied ancient books together.
Ancient books record an ancient dark magic that can control the minds of all things and cause chaos.
"Is this the reason why the beasts became violent and the river became abnormal?" Lin Xiao said.
Mo Yu nodded: "It's very likely, but where is the source of this dark magic?"
As they were thinking, a mysterious symbol appeared on the wall of the library.
Lin Xiao observed the symbol carefully: "This symbol seems to be somewhat similar to the runes we saw in the ruins."
Mo Yu's eyes were stern: "It seems that the answer lies in the ruins."
When they came to the ruins again, they found that it was shrouded by a powerful dark force.
"Be careful, Xiao'er." Mo Yu protected Lin Xiao.
Suddenly, a group of dark creatures emerged from the shadows and attacked them.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu used their respective unique skills to engage in a fierce battle with the dark creatures.
"Mo Yu, this is not a solution. We must find the core of the dark power." Lin Xiao shouted.
Mo Yu nodded while fighting: "I understand, follow me."
They struggled forward in the ruins and finally came to a huge dark magic circle.
"It's here!" Lin Xiao said.
At this moment, the mysterious figure appeared again.
"Haha, you are finally here." The mysterious figure laughed wildly.
Lin Xiao glared at him: "Who are you? Why are you creating this chaos?"
The mysterious figure slowly unveiled his veil, revealing a ferocious face: "I am the messenger of the Dark Lord. Your resistance will only bring about a more terrible disaster."
Mo Yu stepped forward and said, "Don't be so arrogant, we will definitely stop you."
A thrilling battle began.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu fought a desperate battle with the mysterious figure, and the power of the dark magic circle continued to impact them.
"Xiao'er, hold on!" Mo Yu shouted.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and tried his best to exert the power of the divine suit.
In the fierce battle, the mysterious figure gradually gained the upper hand.
"Haha, you are doomed to fail." The mysterious figure laughed smugly.
Just when they were in dire straits, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a flaw in the dark magic circle.
"Mo Yu, attack there!" Lin Xiao pointed to a place in the magic circle.
Mo Yu understood what he meant, gathered all his strength, and launched a final attack towards the flaw.
With a loud bang, the dark magic circle collapsed instantly, and the mysterious figure let out a painful scream.
However, the crisis has not been resolved. The power of the Dark King has begun to infiltrate the Fantasy World.
"Oh no, we must find a solution as soon as possible." Lin Xiao said.
Mo Yu looked at her: "Xiao'er, no matter what, I will stay with you."
They embarked on a difficult journey to find and save the fantasy world.
Along the way, they encountered various challenges and obstacles.
In a mysterious forest, they encountered a group of poisonous flowers.
Lin Xiao was accidentally contaminated by the pollen of a poisonous flower and his body began to become weak.
"Xiao'er, how are you?" Mo Yu asked anxiously.
Lin Xiao endured the pain and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, just keep going."
Mo Yu carried Lin Xiao on his back and continued walking in the forest.
Finally, they found a hermit miracle doctor.
The miracle doctor cured Lin Xiao of the poison, but told them that the power of the Dark Lord was growing stronger and stronger, and if they didn't find a way to restrain him quickly, the fantasy world would be doomed.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu bid farewell to the miracle doctor and continued on their journey.
On a steep mountain, they met a mysterious old man.
The old man looked at them with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Young man, your courage is commendable, but it is far from enough to defeat the Dark Lord."
Lin Xiao asked respectfully: "Senior, please give me some advice."
The old man smiled and handed them an ancient secret book: "This secret book may contain the answers you want."
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu gratefully took the secret book and began to study it.
The secret book records a powerful sealing technique, but it requires the collection of five mysterious gems to perform.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu decided to look for the gems separately.
Lin Xiao found the first gem in a mysterious cave, but encountered a powerful monster guarding the gem.
The monster pounced at her with its fangs and claws bared.
Lin Xiao used the power of his divine armor to engage in a fierce battle with the monster.
After a hard battle, Lin Xiao finally defeated the monster and got the gem.
Mo Yu found the second gem in an ancient ruin, but it was full of various traps.
Mo Yu carefully avoided the traps and finally got the gem.
As they worked hard to find the gem, the messenger of the Dark Lord appeared again, trying to stop them.
"Don't waste your energy. The Dark Lord's power is invincible." The messenger sneered.
Lin Xiao was not afraid: "Even if he is invincible, we have to give it a try."
Mo Yu also said: "That's right, we won't give up."
After a fierce battle, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu repelled the messenger again.
They continued to search for gems, and after going through untold hardships, they finally collected all five gems.
However, when they were about to perform the sealing technique, they discovered that the Dark Lord had already noticed their plan.
The Dark Lord personally descended into the fantasy world. His figure was huge and terrifying, emitting endless dark power.
"How dare you, a tiny human, challenge my authority." The Dark Lord's voice was like thunder.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood in front of the Dark Lord without any retreat.
"Even if we die, we must protect the fantasy world." Lin Xiao said.
Mo Yu also said firmly: "Come on, let's fight it out."
A battle that shocked the world and made ghosts cry began.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu used all their skills and fought a desperate battle with the Dark Lord.
The Dark Lord's attacks were extremely powerful, and each time they put them in desperate situations.
But with their firm belief and strong will, they stood up again and again and continued to fight.
At the critical moment of the battle, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu communicated with each other and combined the power of the five gems to perform a powerful sealing technique.
The Dark Lord roared angrily, but under the powerful force of the sealing technique, his body was gradually sealed.
With the Dark Lord sealed, the fantasy world finally returned to peace.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu hugged each other and cried. They knew that this was only a temporary victory and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.
