Chapter 21: "A Mysterious Journey Led by a Spiritual Pet"
After experiencing a series of wonderful experiences like a roller coaster, Lin Xiao's life finally returned to peace for a while. However, this peace was like the calm before the storm, which was only a short-lived illusion.
On this day, the sky was covered by thick, leaden clouds, the sun was completely blocked, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into a gloomy haze. Lin Xiao walked alone on the winding country road, feeling as restless as the weather.
"Oh, when will this day end?" Lin Xiao complained to himself while kicking pebbles on the roadside.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came without warning, and the wind was so strong that it seemed to overturn the whole world. The branches on the roadside were shaken violently by the wind, making painful groaning sounds.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, and wrapped his hands tightly around the slightly thin clothes on his body.
"This damn weather changes so suddenly!" Lin Xiao frowned and muttered.
At this moment, a small and cute pet appeared in front of her. The pet exuded a mysterious light like a dream, and the light flickered, as if it had some mysterious magic. Its eyes were like dazzling gems, flashing with lively light.
"Wow, what a cute little fairy!" Lin Xiao widened his eyes in surprise, his mouth opened into a big "O" shape, and an expression of surprise and joy instantly blossomed on his face.
The spirit pet circled around Lin Xiao happily, making clear and pleasant calls from time to time. The sound seemed like beautiful notes from another world.
Lin Xiao squatted down, a gentle smile on his face, and carefully stretched out his hand, trying to touch this mysterious pet.
"Little guy, where did you come from?" Lin Xiao asked softly, his eyes full of curiosity and love.
The spirit pet seemed to understand her words, and it jumped and ran in one direction. After running a few steps, it turned back, and its eyes seemed to be eagerly signaling Lin Xiao to follow it.
Although Lin Xiao was somewhat confused, her strong curiosity drove her to follow.
Along the way, Lin Xiao followed the spirit pet through the dense forest, crossed the gurgling stream, and finally came to an ancient temple that looked abandoned for a long time.
The ancient temple is surrounded by weeds that are taller than people, as if telling the world that it has been forgotten by time. The walls of the ancient temple are covered with mosses, which are like marks left by time, making the ancient temple look even more ancient and mysterious.
Lin Xiao walked cautiously into this ancient temple full of mystery. As soon as he stepped in, a stale and decayed smell hit him in the face, and the smell made Lin Xiao cough a few times.
"This place looks so mysterious! It feels like there are some big secrets waiting for me to discover." Lin Xiao said softly, looking around vigilantly.
At this moment, the spirit pet suddenly stopped in front of a dilapidated statue. The face of the statue was covered with traces of erosion by time, and the original color had long faded, leaving only mottled traces.
Lin Xiao was full of doubts when he suddenly heard a low and magnetic voice ringing in his ears.
"My child, you are finally here."
Lin Xiao was so frightened by the sudden sound that he trembled all over and almost fell to the ground.
"Who? Who is talking? Come out quickly, stop playing tricks!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of fear and tension.
"Don't be afraid, I am the guardian of this ancient temple." The voice came again, with a hint of soothing in it.
Lin Xiao calmed down and said calmly, "Guardian? Then what do you want from me? Don't be so mysterious!"
"The world is about to face an unprecedented crisis, and you are the only hope to save the world." The guardian's voice was full of solemnity and seriousness.
Lin Xiao looked incredulous, put his hands on his hips, and raised his voice and said, "Me? Are you kidding me! How can I save the world? I don't even understand what's going on!"
"You have a special power that has not yet awakened. As long as you can discover and control it, you can save the world." The guardian's voice was firm.
Lin Xiao frowned and fell into deep thought.
Just then, there was a sudden burst of noisy and hurried footsteps outside.
"Oh no, someone is coming!" Lin Xiao's heart tightened and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
She and her spirit pet quickly hid behind the statue, not daring to breathe, their hearts pounding.
A group of people in black night clothes walked into the ancient temple. Their steps were heavy and hurried, and their eyes revealed ferocity and greed.
"We must find that thing, otherwise we will all be in trouble!" said the leading man in black viciously. The voice sounded like it came from hell, making people shudder.
Lin Xiao hid behind the statue, his heart full of doubts and fear.
"What are they looking for? Why did they come here?" Lin Xiao thought to himself.
Just when the men in black were about to discover Lin Xiao and the others, the spirit pet suddenly rushed out bravely, attracting the attention of the men in black.
"Catch that spiritual pet!" the men in black shouted and chased after the spiritual pet.
Lin Xiao took the opportunity to escape from the ancient temple, however, she found herself unknowingly caught in a huge conspiracy...
