Chapter 8 "The Shocking Temptation of the Mysterious Magical Weapon: Lin Xiaomoyu's Desper
After going through countless hardships and dangers, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu finally arrived at this seemingly peaceful and tranquil ancient town. The streets of the town were paved with bluestone slabs, and the houses on both sides were staggered and the walls were covered with traces of time. The sunlight sprinkled on the streets, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
Lin Xiao skipped ahead, humming an unknown tune, "Oh my, this place looks quite charming, maybe we can find something new here!"
Mo Yu had a serious look on his face, his eyes were sharp, and he was always paying attention to the slightest movement around him. "Don't be careless, this place is not that simple."
Suddenly, a dazzling light streaked across the sky, like a meteor falling to the ground, followed by a deafening roar, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.
"Oh my god! What's going on? The noise is so loud!" Lin Xiao was frightened by this sudden change, and his eyes widened as big as copper bells.
Mo Yu frowned, his expression serious, "I'm afraid we're in big trouble, be careful!"
Without hesitation, the two ran in the direction of the light and soon arrived in front of a long-abandoned temple. The temple gate was closed, the copper ring on the door was rusty, and the surrounding weeds were overgrown, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
"This place feels eerie. Do we really want to go in? I'm feeling a little scared." Lin Xiao tugged at the corner of Mo Yu's clothes, his voice trembling slightly and a look of timidity on his face.
Mo Yu took a deep breath, his eyes determined, "Since we are here, let's go in and take a look, maybe we can find some clues."
They carefully pushed open the heavy door, and a stale and decayed smell hit them, making Lin Xiao cough repeatedly. The temple was dark and damp, and the murals on the walls had become blurred due to the erosion of time, and only some mysterious symbols and patterns could be vaguely identified.
At this moment, a magical weapon emitting a mysterious light quietly appeared on a huge stone platform. The magical weapon shone brightly, like the brightest star in the night sky, making it impossible to look away.
Lin Xiao couldn't hold back his curiosity and walked forward impatiently, wanting to reach out and touch the magic weapon. "Wow, this treasure looks so powerful!"
"Don't move!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, but it was too late.
As soon as Lin Xiao touched the magic weapon, he was instantly bounced away by an extremely powerful force, and fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!" Lin Xiao grimaced in pain, tears almost coming out.
Mo Yu rushed over and helped her up, his face full of helplessness, "Girl, you are always so reckless!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of eerie laughter coming from all around. The laughter echoed in the empty temple, making people feel creepy.
"Hahahaha, you guys are finally here!"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked around vigilantly, their eyes full of caution, but they couldn't see any figures.
"Who? Come out quickly! Don't play tricks! Show up if you have the guts!" Lin Xiao bravely shouted, with a tremor in his voice.
At this time, a dark figure slowly walked out from the darkness. The dark figure was shrouded in a layer of mist, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light could be seen, like the eyes of a demon from hell.
"You cannot touch this magic weapon." The black shadow's voice was icy cold, as if it could freeze a person's soul.
Mo Yu tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and the sword flashed coldly in the weak light. "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The black shadow laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. "Who am I? You don't need to know. You just need to know that you will not leave here alive today!"
After that, the black shadow flashed and launched a fierce attack towards them in an instant. Mo Yu was quick-witted and pulled Lin Xiao to dodge quickly.
"What should we do? Mo Yu, we won't die here, right?" Lin Xiao was so scared that his face turned pale and his voice was filled with tears.
Mo Yu calmly dealt with the shadow's attack while comforting Lin Xiao, "Don't be afraid, I'm here and nothing will happen to you!"
Just when they were in desperate situation, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a flaw in the black shadow's attack.
"Mo Yu, attack his left side! Quick!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Hearing this, Mo Yu swung his sword without hesitation and stabbed towards the left side of the black shadow. The black shadow was unable to dodge and was stabbed by Mo Yu's sword.
"Hmph, you guys are quite capable!" The black shadow said viciously, covering his wound.
After saying that, the black shadow turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew in their hearts that this was only a temporary calm, and more unknown dangers were waiting for them ahead...
