Chapter 36: Exploring the Fantasy World: The Storms Caused by the Mysterious Ancient Book
The morning light was like a gentle messenger, gently caressing every inch of the Fantasy World, bringing a touch of warmth and hope to this mysterious and ancient world. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side in front of the library that was sleeping like an ancient giant beast. The library was towering into the clouds, majestic and magnificent, as if it was a mysterious hub connecting heaven and earth.
Lin Xiao raised her head slightly, looking at the tightly closed door, her eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness. She bit her lips tightly, frowned slightly, as if thinking about something important: "Mo Yu, I heard that this library hides countless unknown secrets and powerful powers. I don't know if we can find the key clues to solve the mystery this time. It would be great if we could find the way home. I miss my comfortable big bed and delicious ice cream so much!"
Mo Yu gently patted Lin Xiao's shoulder and gave her a firm and warm look, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His handsome face was filled with confidence and calmness: "Xiao'er, don't worry, even if the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, I will protect you, and we will definitely gain something."
The two took a deep breath, as if to draw all their courage into their chests, and then slowly pushed open the heavy and ancient door. With a "creak", a stale bookish smell rushed towards them like a surging tide, instantly surrounding them.
The light in the library was dim, with only a few faint rays of light coming in through the narrow window gaps, forming mottled light and shadows. Rows of tall bookshelves stood there like silent giants, and each bookshelf was filled with densely packed books, which carried the vicissitudes of time and countless wisdom.
"Wow, so many books, how long will it take to find them all? It feels harder than when I was preparing for the college entrance examination!" Lin Xiao muttered to herself as she carefully moved between the bookshelves, her eyes eagerly scanning each book.
Mo Yu seemed more calm and composed. He carefully observed the surroundings, not missing any clues. His eyes were focused and sharp, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see through everything.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao found a yellowed ancient book in a corner. The book was covered with thick dust, as if it had been forgotten for a long time. Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.
"Mo Yu, come and look, this book seems special! I feel like it is waving at me!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly, his voice echoing in the empty library.
Mo Yu rushed over upon hearing the sound, and both of them focused their attention on this mysterious ancient book. They gently opened the ancient book and saw some strange and mysterious symbols and patterns recorded on it. Those symbols were like ancient codes, waiting for them to decipher.
"What are these? I can't understand them at all. Is this alien language?" Lin Xiao scratched his head, looking confused and frowning even more tightly.
At this moment, a strange wind suddenly blew in the library. This wind came without any warning, and instantly swept across the entire space, making the pages of the books rustle, as if telling an unknown story.
"Oh no, this wind comes in a strange way, there must be something wrong!" Mo Yu's face suddenly became solemn, his hand unconsciously grasped the sword at his waist, and his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
Lin Xiao held the ancient book tightly, his eyes showing determination and resoluteness: "No matter what, take it away first, maybe this is the key we have been looking for!"
However, when they were about to leave, the door of the library suddenly closed with a dull bang, as if announcing the arrival of a crisis. There were bursts of eerie laughter coming from all around, and the laughter echoed in the darkness, making people shudder.
"Hahahaha, do you think you can take away the secret so easily? You are too naive!"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their hearts tightened, and an ominous premonition came to their minds.
"Whoever is playing tricks, come out! Don't hide if you have the ability!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of anger and courage.
A black shadow slowly walked out of the darkness. The face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes emitting cold light, like cold stars twinkling in the night sky.
"You cannot touch this ancient book. It belongs to the power of darkness, you ignorant intruders!" the black shadow said coldly, his voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, revealing endless chill.
Mo Yu protected Lin Xiao behind him, the sword in his hand was already unsheathed, the sword flashing a cold light in the weak light: "Don't even think about stopping us! No matter who you are, don't even think about stopping us from leaving today!"
The two sides fell into a stalemate in an instant. The atmosphere was extremely tense, like a taut string that could break at any time.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly had an idea. He took out a flash bomb from his arms and threw it at the black shadow.
"Ah!" The black shadow's eyes were stung by the light. He screamed, covered his eyes with his hands, and his body kept shaking.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu took the opportunity to rush towards the gate. Their steps were quick and firm, with only one thought in their minds: escape from here!
After great effort, they finally pushed the door open, and the sunlight instantly shone on them, bringing a touch of warmth and hope.
"Hurry up!" Mo Yu pulled Lin Xiao and fled desperately. Their figures ran quickly in the sunlight, as if racing against time.
But just when they thought they had escaped danger, they found themselves trapped in a mysterious formation. This formation emitted a strange light and trapped them inside.
"What the hell is this? Why am I so unlucky!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but complain.
Mo Yu's eyes flashed with determination: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, we will definitely find a way to crack it!"
Just as they were struggling to figure out how to break the formation, the formation suddenly changed, and powerful forces attacked them...
