Chapter 16 "Mysterious Inheritance: The Miracle of a Beautiful Girl"
After a series of ups and downs, Lin Xiao thought he would have a short period of peace. However, the wheel of fate never stopped turning, and a new storm was brewing quietly. On this day, the night was like a thick black satin, tightly covering the quiet village. No starlight could penetrate the thick darkness, and the whole world seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
Lin Xiao sat alone in front of the window, her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing deep confusion and anxiety. She looked out the window at the dark world, muttering softly: "This journey is like a crazy dream. I have traveled to this strange world and experienced so many strange things. Where should I go?"
A cool breeze blew past, and the window creaked, as if telling Lin Xiao some secret. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously hugged himself with his arms.
At this moment, a mysterious light suddenly lit up in the distant forest, instantly piercing the darkness, like a ray of hope. The light was dazzling, like a gorgeous firework blooming in the night sky, instantly attracting Lin Xiao's full attention.
"What the hell is that? Is this another new trap that fate has set for me?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and his face was full of surprise and confusion.
Without any hesitation, she stood up quickly and ran towards the light like an agile deer. Along the way, Lin Xiao ran desperately, and the weeds and branches under her feet tripped her steps from time to time, causing her to almost fall. But her eyes were always firmly fixed on the mysterious light, as if it was her only salvation.
When she finally got close to the source of the light, she found that it was an ancient cave hidden deep in the forest. The entrance of the cave was covered with strange runes, which seemed to have life, flashing strange light and exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Lin Xiao approached the cave cautiously, her heart pounding like a drum and her breathing becoming rapid. With every step she took, she could feel an invisible pressure coming towards her.
"This place looks mysterious. I hope there isn't any fatal danger here?" Lin Xiao swallowed, muttering to himself with a slightly trembling voice.
Just as she was hesitating whether to move forward, a low and terrifying roar suddenly came from the cave. The sound seemed to come from an ancient beast, carrying endless anger and threats.
Lin Xiao was so frightened that she trembled all over and instinctively turned around and wanted to run away. But the strong curiosity in her heart was like an invisible hand, holding her tightly.
"What am I afraid of! Now that I'm here, I want to see what's going on in there!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, cheered himself up, took a deep breath, and then continued to walk deeper into the cave.
The further she went in, the darker the light became. Lin Xiao could only feel the damp wall with her hands and move forward little by little. Suddenly, she felt as if she had stepped on something soft.
When I looked down, I saw a pale skeleton.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, a mysterious and eerie voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, now that you are here, don't think about leaving easily."
Lin Xiao looked around in fear and shouted, "Who? Who's talking? Come out if you dare! Don't hide!"
However, only her own trembling voice echoed in the cave, as if being swallowed mercilessly by the darkness.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said calmly, "Who are you? If you have the guts, stop playing tricks and come out!"
At this time, a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the cave. It was an old man in a black robe, his face was covered by shadows, and his specific expression could not be seen. But the aura emanating from him made people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The old man slowly raised his head, looked at Lin Xiao coldly through the shadows, and slowly said: "Little girl, do you know that you have stepped into a place you should not be in."
Lin Xiao widened his eyes, stared at the old man warily, and said loudly: "What do you want? I'm not afraid of you!"
The old man smiled slightly, and that smile looked particularly strange in the darkness: "Don't be afraid, this is your chance. I have been waiting for the right person for a long time, and you may be the one who can receive the inheritance."
Lin Xiao looked at the old man in confusion and asked, "Inheritance? What inheritance? Don't fool me!"
The old man did not answer her question, but slowly raised his hand. In an instant, a dazzling light shot out from his hand and instantly enveloped Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao only felt an irresistible force suddenly surge into his body, and his body seemed to be torn apart by this force.
"Ah! It hurts!" Lin Xiao cried out in pain, his expression distorted beyond recognition. He hugged his body tightly with both hands and rolled on the ground.
The old man watched quietly from the side and said in a cold voice: "Hold on, this is the pain you must go through. Only by enduring it can you gain real power."
After an unknown amount of time, the light gradually disappeared and Lin Xiao collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, her clothes soaked with sweat.
When she struggled to stand up again, she was surprised to find that her body had undergone amazing changes. She could feel an unprecedented powerful force surging in her body, as if it was about to burst out of her body at any time.
"This...what's going on? Why do I feel like I've become so powerful?" Lin Xiao looked at his hands in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
At this moment, the cave began to shake violently, huge rocks kept falling from the top of the head. The whole cave seemed to collapse, making a deafening roar.
"Oh no, the cave is going to collapse!" Lin Xiao's face changed drastically and his heart was filled with fear.
She didn't have time to think about it, and turned around and ran towards the cave entrance. While running, she kept dodging the falling rocks, and her movements were as agile as a monkey.
Finally, just before the cave collapsed completely, Lin Xiao successfully escaped from the cave.
She looked at the cave behind her which had become a ruin, still feeling frightened and breathing heavily.
"What kind of changes will this mysterious inheritance bring to my destiny? Is it a blessing or a curse?" Lin Xiao murmured to himself, his eyes full of confusion and expectation for the future.
At this moment, Mo Yu's anxious voice came from a distance: "Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao! Where are you?"
When Lin Xiao heard Mo Yu's voice, he was delighted and quickly responded: "Mo Yu, I'm here!"
Mo Yu rushed over when he heard the noise, and seeing that Lin Xiao was safe and sound, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Girl, why are you running around? Do you know how worried I am about you?" Mo Yu complained while looking Lin Xiao up and down.
Lin Xiao stuck out his tongue mischievously and said, "I just found a mysterious place and want to go in and take a look."
Mo Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "You are always so worrying."
As the two were talking, the atmosphere around them suddenly became strange. A gust of cold wind blew by, making people shudder.
"What's going on? Something doesn't feel right." Lin Xiao looked around vigilantly.
Mo Yu frowned and said, "Be careful, it may be dangerous."
Before he could finish his words, a group of dark shadows emerged from all directions and surrounded them.
"Who are you?" Mo Yu shouted loudly.
The shadows did not answer, but approached them silently.
Lin Xiao clenched his fists and said, "Who cares? Let's beat him first!"
A fierce battle begins...
