Chapter 33: Exploring the Fantasy World: Shocking Mysteries in the Ruins
The night was like a thick black veil, tightly covering the Fantasy World Continent. The stars seemed so faint in the endless darkness, as if they would be swallowed by the darkness at any time. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side at the entrance of an ancient ruins. The cold wind whistled past like a sharp whistle, blowing the corners of their clothes wildly and rustling.
Lin Xiao wrapped her cloak tightly around her body. Her eyes were full of nervousness and excitement. Her bright pupils were like twinkling stars in the darkness. Her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Mo Yu, this place looks eerie and seems to hide many secrets. Maybe we can find some amazing treasure and reach the pinnacle of life from now on, haha!"
Mo Yu had a serious face, holding the sharp sword tightly in his hand, the blade flashing cold light under the weak moonlight. He observed the surroundings vigilantly, and every slight movement could not escape his ears and eyes. "Xiao'er, be careful, this place may not be simple. Don't let yourself get involved instead of finding the treasure."
They walked into the ruins carefully. There was an old and decayed smell in the air, which seemed to be the heavy sigh of the years. There was a strange light flickering on the wall, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like a ghost's eyes spying on their every move.
"Wow, what the hell is this place! It feels like I'm in a haunted house!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, her voice trembling slightly with fear.
Suddenly, a deep roar suddenly sounded in the darkness. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying endless anger and threats. This sudden roar scared Lin Xiao so much that she almost screamed, and her heartbeat instantly soared to her throat.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Mo Yu quickly protected Lin Xiao behind him. His eyes were fixed on the front, full of determination and fearlessness.
A huge monster slowly walked out of the shadows. Its body was as big as a mountain, and every step made the ground tremble slightly. The monster's eyes flashed a ferocious blood-red light, and its sharp fangs flashed coldly in the darkness, as if it could tear them into pieces in an instant.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened and she took a deep breath. Her voice trembled, "This is too scary! What did this monster eat to grow up? How can it be so big?!"
Mo Yu was not afraid at all, he raised his sword and faced the monster, his posture was as agile as a leopard, full of strength and determination. "Come and fight! Today I will let you see how powerful I am!"
The two men engaged in a fierce fight with the monster. Mo Yu's sword danced vigorously, and each sword was full of sharp sword energy, streaking dazzling light in the air. His eyes were focused and cold, as if the only enemy in the world was the enemy in front of him.
Lin Xiao also cast her own spell, shining brightly, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the darkness. Her hands danced, she muttered something, and mysterious runes appeared in the air.
The monster was gradually at a disadvantage. It roared angrily, and the wounds on its body kept bleeding, but it still resisted stubbornly.
Suddenly, the monster turned around and fled deeper into the ruins.
"Chase! We can't let it run away!" Lin Xiao shouted, her eyes full of determination and persistence.
They followed the direction the monster fled, and the road was full of unknown dangers. The ground under their feet was sometimes slippery, sometimes rugged, and strange liquids dripped from the walls from time to time.
Finally, they came to a huge secret room. In the secret room, there were various mysterious objects, emitting mysterious light. Some objects were strangely shaped, as if they were from outer space; some objects were engraved with ancient runes, which made people puzzled.
"What are these? They feel like props from a science fiction movie." Lin Xiao looked around curiously, and her hands couldn't help but want to touch those mysterious objects.
At this moment, a mysterious pattern suddenly appeared on the wall, with complex lines and colorful colors, as if it contained endless secrets.
Mo Yu frowned, his eyes focused and deep, as if he wanted to see the truth behind the pattern. "This pattern seems to be hiding something, maybe it is the key to unlocking the secret here."
Just as they were concentrating on studying the pattern, a sinister laugh came from behind them. The laugh echoed in the empty secret room, making people shudder.
"Hahahaha, you guys are finally here."
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu turned around and saw a mysterious black shadow appear in front of them. The figure of the black shadow was blurred, as if it had merged into the darkness.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked vigilantly, her hand tightly holding the magic talisman.
The shadow sneered, his voice full of sarcasm and disdain. "You don't need to know, today is the day you die."
As he spoke, the black shadow launched an attack, and the power of darkness surged towards them like a tide. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu responded quickly and started a life-and-death battle with the black shadow.
Lin Xiao's magic light collided with the dark power of the black shadow, emitting dazzling light and huge energy fluctuations. Mo Yu's sword drew beautiful arcs in the darkness, and each sword carried the determination to kill.
"Hmph, it's not that easy to defeat us!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, her eyes full of stubbornness and indomitable spirit.
The shadow's attack became more and more fierce, and Lin Xiao and Mo Yu gradually felt a little powerless. Sweat soaked their clothes, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted in fighting.
Just when they were in desperate situation, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a flaw in the black shadow.
"Mo Yu, attack his left side!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
Mo Yu understood what he meant and instantly launched a fatal attack. The black shadow screamed, fell to the ground, and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
"Huh, it's finally solved." Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and gasped heavily.
Mo Yu also put away his sword, walked to Lin Xiao, and said with a smile: "Xiao'er, you are so amazing."
However, before they could celebrate, new changes occurred in the secret room...
