Chapter 7 "The Great Adventure of the Relics: Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's Fantasy Journey"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu walked side by side on the winding path, the sunlight shining on them like golden threads. Lin Xiao's hair fluttered gently in the breeze, she raised her head and looked at the blue sky like a gem, but her face was full of worry.
"Mo Yu, do you think there are really the legendary ruins in this place? Why do I feel uneasy?" Lin Xiao said as he tugged at the corner of his clothes with his hands, frowning slightly.
Mo Yu looked determined, his eyes like sharp swords, staring straight at the unknown ahead, "Whether it exists or not, since we are here, we must find out. Maybe we can find clues to let us go back."
The two stepped into this mysterious area. The surrounding trees towered into the sky, like ancient guardians. The sun shone through the dense leaves, casting patches of light and shadows on the ground. From time to time, rustling sounds came from the grass, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching in the dark.
"Oh, this place feels eerie. Will some monster suddenly jump out?" Lin Xiao swallowed and unconsciously moved closer to Mo Yu, holding the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands.
Mo Yu patted her hand gently and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a strange melody. Lin Xiao screamed in fear, "Ah! What the hell is this!"
Mo Yu quickly protected her behind him, "Be careful!"
At this moment, a huge python suddenly jumped out from the tree. The python's body was as thick as a tree trunk, its scales flashed with a cold light, and it opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a pungent breath.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao's face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Mo Yu quickly drew out his sword, his eyes flashing with determination, "Lin Xiao, stay away!"
After that, he flashed and rushed towards the python like a flash of lightning. Mo Yu's sword drew dazzling arcs in the sun, and he started a thrilling fight with the python.
"Mo Yu, be careful!" Lin Xiao hid behind a big tree, his heart in his throat, his hands tightly covering his mouth, his eyes wide open.
Mo Yu's movements were agile and fierce, and each move contained great power. He dodged the python's attack by leaning sideways, and stabbed the python's vital point with his sword.
"Go to hell!" Mo Yu roared.
The python felt pain and twisted its body even more frantically, sweeping its tail across, creating a gust of wind.
Lin Xiao couldn't open his eyes because of the wind, "Mo Yu, come on!"
After a tough fight, Mo Yu finally found the python's weakness and stabbed it in the vitals. The python's huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Mo Yu walked to Lin Xiao panting, his forehead soaked with sweat.
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Mo Yu said gently.
Lin Xiao rushed over and hugged him, "I was scared to death, luckily I have you."
The two took a short break and continued on their way. Soon, they came to an ancient ruin. The door of the ruin was tightly closed, and it was engraved with mysterious symbols and patterns, as if telling a long history.
"How do I open this door? It feels so mysterious." Lin Xiao walked forward curiously and reached out to touch the symbols.
Mo Yu carefully observed the surrounding environment and said, "There should be a mechanism. Let's look for it."
Just as they were looking for the mechanism, they suddenly heard heavy footsteps behind them.
"Who?" Mo Yu turned around vigilantly, holding the sword tightly in his hand.
A group of men in black appeared in front of them, led by a man with a ferocious face. His eyes were filled with ferocity and greed.
"Hmph, you actually dare to come here? This relic is ours!" the man said viciously, his voice like muffled thunder.
Lin Xiao was not afraid at all, and he straightened his chest, "This ruins is not yours, why don't you let us in!"
"Then don't blame us for being rude!" The man waved his hand, and the men in black drew their weapons and rushed towards them.
A fierce battle started again. Mo Yu and Lin Xiao stood back to back, cooperating tacitly.
"Lin Xiao, be careful to the left!" Mo Yu shouted loudly.
Lin Xiao dodged the enemy's attack by leaning sideways and kicked the opponent.
"Watch me!" Lin Xiaojiao shouted.
During the battle, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered that there was something strange about a stone next to the gate of the ruins.
"Mo Yu, I found it! It might be a mechanism!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly.
Mo Yu fought off the enemy in front of him and pressed down the stone together with Lin Xiao.
There was a roar, and the door of the ruins slowly opened. However, the scene inside the door surprised them...
