Chapter 34: Fantasy World Explosion: The Ultimate Secret of the Ruins Explosion
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the sky of the Fantasy World Continent into a gorgeous and enchanting orange-red, as if it was a warning of doomsday. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side at the entrance of the ancient ruins. The wind was howling like an out-of-control beast, madly brushing across their cheeks and violently lifting their hair. Lin Xiao tightly grasped the sword in her hand that exuded a cold light, her palms were full of sweat, her eyes were firm but with unconcealable expectations and nervousness, her heart was pounding in her chest: "Mo Yu, what is hidden in this ruins? I feel like my little heart is about to jump out, it can't be a super monster?"
Mo Yu's face was as solemn as ice that had not melted for a thousand years. He slightly narrowed his deep eyes, which were as deep as the sea. His eyes were full of determination and vigilance. His voice was low and powerful, as if it came from an ancient war drum: "Xiao'er, no matter what is in there, we have to be careful. This place is very evil, and we might fall if we are not careful."
The two took a deep breath, as if they wanted to inhale all the courage in the world into their lungs, and slowly pushed open the heavy stone door that seemed to carry a thousand years of history. An old and decayed smell rushed in like a tide, choking them so much that they could hardly breathe. Inside the door was a dark and deep passage that seemed to have no end. Strange runes flashed on the wall, and the light flickered, like the blinking eyes of a devil.
"Wow, this is too mysterious! It feels like walking into the set of a horror movie!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed, his voice echoing in the empty corridor with a hint of trembling.
They walked carefully along the passage. The stone slabs under their feet made a creaking sound, which seemed to be the painful groans eroded by time, or the whispers of ancient souls.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out in the passage. The laughter was like a sharp ice cone, piercing their eardrums directly.
"Hahahaha, you guys are finally here!"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's hearts tightened, and they instantly stood back to back, their bodies as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, observing their surroundings vigilantly.
"Who? Come out quickly! Stop playing tricks!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice trembling obviously, but his eyes were still stubborn and determined.
A dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness, the figure was blurry and seemed to merge into the darkness. All that could be seen was a pair of eyes flashing with a strange light, which seemed to be able to penetrate the human soul.
"You ignorant intruders, this is not a place you can casually set foot in." The black shadow said coldly, the voice seemed to come from hell, carrying endless chills.
Mo Yu took a step forward and protected Lin Xiao tightly behind him. He clenched the sword in his hand, and the sword flashed a cold light under the weak light: "Stop talking nonsense, come at me if you have the guts! Even if it's a sea of fire and a mountain of swords today, we are not afraid!"
The two sides instantly fell into a fierce battle. Mo Yu's swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind, and every move was accompanied by a whirring sound, as if it could cut through the air. His eyes were focused and cold, veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat fell like rain.
"Look at my invincible swordsmanship and see how powerful I am!" Mo Yu roared.
Lin Xiao was not to be outdone, and cast a unique spell, the light flickered in the darkness, like a dazzling firework. Her hands danced, she muttered something, her expression tense but full of fighting spirit.
"Take this trick from me. I'm not someone you can easily mess with!" Lin Xiao shouted.
The black shadow was stronger than expected, his movements were as fast as a ghost, and every attack was deadly. Gradually, the black shadow gained the upper hand, and Mo Yu and Lin Xiao began to feel overwhelmed.
Lin Xiao panted heavily, his eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness: "Humph, I won't give up easily! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
At this moment, Lin Xiao accidentally discovered a mechanism on the wall.
"Mo Yu, look there! Maybe there's a turning point!" Lin Xiao shouted, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Mo Yu understood what he meant, and while struggling to deal with the black shadow, he protected Lin Xiao as he tried to trigger the mechanism.
When Lin Xiao pressed the trigger, the entire ruins began to shake violently, as if a terrible earthquake had occurred. A hidden door slowly opened, revealing a mysterious light.
"Let's go!" Mo Yu shouted and pulled Lin Xiao into the door.
Behind the door was a huge secret room filled with all kinds of mysterious artifacts and ancient scrolls. Those artifacts had strange shapes, some like twisted monsters, and some like shining stars.
"What kind of treasures are these? I feel like I've gotten rich!" Lin Xiao was curious and wanted to go forward to check.
Mo Yu quickly stopped her: "Be careful, there might be a scam, don't move!"
At this moment, the words on the scroll suddenly flickered and turned into rays of light that shot towards them. The light was hot and dazzling, as if it was going to devour them.
"Not good!" Lin Xiao exclaimed.
However, after the light enveloped them, something unexpected happened. Their bodies seemed to be lifted up by a powerful force, slowly rising into the air.
"What's going on? Are we going to travel through time?" Lin Xiao shouted in horror.
Mo Yu held Lin Xiao's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
In the light, their figures gradually blurred and disappeared into the secret room...
