Chapter 29: "A Fantasy World of Despair: Lin Xiao's Adventure of Life and Death Decision&q
The gloomy sky seemed to be covered by a huge black curtain, and the thick dark clouds piled up layer by layer, making the entire Fantasy World Continent almost breathless. The howling wind swept past, like an angry beast roaring, raising dust and gravel all over the sky, hitting people's cheeks painfully.
Lin Xiao stood alone in front of the old and dilapidated castle. Her figure seemed so small and firm in the strong wind. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were full of confusion and stubbornness. Her delicate face was stained with dust, but it still couldn't hide her inner determination.
"What should I do?" Lin Xiao muttered to herself, her voice sounding so weak and helpless in the strong wind. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt as if her heart was being gnawing at by millions of ants. Her entanglement and struggle formed an invisible web that bound her tightly.
At this moment, Mo Yu rushed over like a whirlwind. His clothes rustled in the wind, his hair was disheveled, his face was anxious and worried, and his deep eyes showed his concern for Lin Xiao.
"Xiao'er, the situation is not good!" Mo Yu said loudly while panting, with a slight tremor in his voice.
Lin Xiao turned his head suddenly, and when he saw Mo Yu, a hint of surprise and joy flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deep worry.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao asked anxiously, with an obvious tremor in his voice.
Mo Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing, and said, "The mysterious organization has made new moves again. They seem to be planning a huge conspiracy. This conspiracy is more terrifying than any previous one. They seem to have mastered some kind of forbidden power, which is enough to subvert the entire Fantasy World Continent."
Lin Xiao's expression instantly became more solemn. Her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"
Mo Yu pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with determination: "Now there are two paths before us. One is for us to take the initiative and expose their conspiracy. But this is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous adventure, and we may fall into an irretrievable situation. The other way is to hide temporarily and wait for the opportunity. But if we do this, I am afraid that their plan will succeed, and then the whole world will fall into darkness."
Lin Xiao's eyes widened, full of entanglement and struggle. It seemed as if there were two villains arguing fiercely in her heart, making it difficult for her to make a decision.
"This... this is too difficult to choose." Lin Xiao said painfully, his body trembling slightly, as if he was under tremendous pressure.
Mo Yu stepped forward and held Lin Xiao's hand tightly. His eyes were firm and gentle: "Xiao'er, no matter what decision you make, I will stay by your side and never leave you. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will go through it with you."
Lin Xiao raised his head and looked into Mo Yu's affectionate eyes, with a touch of emotion in his eyes: "Mo Yu, thank you. However, this decision concerns the fate of too many people, and I am really afraid of making the wrong choice."
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunder, as if God was urging them to make a decision as soon as possible.
"It seems that God is also urging us to make a decision." Lin Xiao said with a wry smile, which was full of helplessness and self-mockery.
At this moment, a mysterious figure appeared on the top of the castle wall. The figure was shrouded in black mist, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the powerful aura emanating from him made people shudder.
"Hahahaha, Lin Xiao, you can't escape! Today is the day you die!" said the mysterious man with a wild laugh, his voice was like the cry of a night owl, creepy enough to make people's hair stand on end.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other and saw determination and courage in each other's eyes.
"Hmph, it's still uncertain who will win! You're dreaming if you want us to surrender!" Lin Xiao said loudly, his eyes filled with anger and determination.
Mo Yu also drew out his sword, and the blade flashed a cold light under the reflection of lightning: "Then let's fight! Even if it means death, we will fight to the end!"
The mysterious man sneered and waved his hands. A group of soldiers in black armor rushed out of the castle, each of them holding a sharp blade and with cold and ruthless eyes.
"Kill!" The mysterious man gave an order, and the soldiers rushed towards Lin Xiao and Mo Yu like a tide.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu faced the enemy without fear. Lin Xiao used his magic, condensed a ball of brilliant light in his hand, and shot it towards the enemy.
"Ah!" A soldier fell down with a scream.
Mo Yu shuttled between the enemies like a ghost, wielding the sword in his hand with impenetrable force, and each strike carried deadly power.
"Puff!" Another enemy was stabbed through the chest by Mo Yu's sword.
The battle was extremely fierce, and Lin Xiao and Mo Yu gradually fell into trouble. Their bodies were covered with wounds, and their clothes were stained with blood, but their eyes were still firm, and they had no intention of retreating.
"Xiao'er, be careful!" Mo Yu suddenly shouted loudly, and saw an enemy attacking Lin Xiao from behind.
Lin Xiao turned around quickly, and the light in his hand turned into a shield, blocking the enemy's attack.
"Damn it!" Lin Xiao cursed, his eyes full of anger.
At this moment, heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky. The rain mixed with blood made the entire battlefield even more bloody and cruel.
"This rain...is God crying for us too?" Lin Xiao thought to himself.
However, they had no time to lament as the enemy's attacks became more and more fierce.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed as her arm was scratched by an enemy.
Mo Yu was extremely anxious. He fought hard against the enemies around him and rushed towards Lin Xiao.
"Xiao'er, how are you?" Mo Yu asked with concern.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, just keep fighting!" Lin Xiao said gritting his teeth.
Mo Yu nodded and turned back to fight again.
Just when they thought they couldn't hold on any longer, a mysterious light descended from the sky...
