Chapter 41: Exploring the Relics of Fantasy World: A Heart-pounding Mysterious Journey
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were in the barren desert. The scorching sun was like countless red-hot steel needles, piercing their skin mercilessly. Every inch of exposed skin seemed to be burned by the flames, and the pain was unbearable. Lin Xiao frowned and kept complaining: "Oh, this damn place is simply hell on earth! I feel like I'm going to be roasted into jerky!" As she spoke, she fanned herself vigorously with her hands, trying to bring a little coolness, but it was in vain.
Mo Yu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down his resolute face, but his eyes were always firmly looking forward. He said: "Xiao'er, hold on, I have a strong premonition that the mysterious ruins must be hidden nearby. As long as we find it, we will have hope."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at him, his face full of reluctance: "Humph, you only know how to fool me. There is yellow sand all over the sky, and I can't even see a hair. Where can there be any ruins! I think we are just wandering around here, a complete waste of time!"
At this moment, a strange and jaw-dropping light suddenly flashed across the sky, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the sky, instantly illuminating the entire desert like daylight. Then, an unprecedented strong storm swept in without warning, and the wind roared like thousands of angry beasts.
"No, hold me tight!" Mo Yu shouted, his voice full of anxiety and nervousness. He did not hesitate to hold Lin Xiao tightly in his arms, using his body to build a solid barrier for her.
After the storm, a huge and ancient stone gate appeared before them. The stone gate was tall and majestic, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and endless secrets.
Lin Xiao opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "This... is this the ruins you mentioned? This is too incredible!"
Mo Yu nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "It should be right, Xiao'er, let's go in and take a look, maybe there are clues hidden inside that can help us leave this damn place."
The two of them walked into the stone door carefully. There was a mysterious and strange atmosphere inside. There was a strange light flickering on the wall, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if it was beating with life, which made people feel creepy.
"This place feels so eerie. I always feel like countless pairs of eyes are staring at us." Lin Xiao tightly grasped the corner of Mo Yu's clothes, his voice trembling, and his body involuntarily moved closer to him.
Mo Yu patted her hand gently and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Suddenly, a low and terrifying roar came from the front. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, shaking the entire ruins slightly.
"What's that sound? Oh my god, this is too scary!" Lin Xiao was so scared that his face turned pale as paper in an instant, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
I saw a huge monster slowly walking out of the darkness. The monster looked ferocious, its sharp claws flashed with cold light, and a pungent hot air spurted out of its bloody mouth, which made people shudder.
Mo Yu drew his sword instantly, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness, and shouted: "Xiao'er, stay away!"
Lin Xiao watched anxiously, his heart in his throat, his hands clenched tightly together, his nails digging into the flesh: "Mo Yu, you must be careful!"
Mo Yu and the monster started a thrilling and fierce fight. His figure shuttled rapidly in the light, and every move was full of power and skill. His sword drew dazzling arcs in the air, colliding with the monster's claws, making bursts of harsh sounds.
Just as Mo Yu was gradually gaining the upper hand, the monster suddenly spewed out a thick black smoke. The smoke quickly spread and instantly enveloped Mo Yu, making him disappear from Lin Xiao's sight.
"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao cried heartbreakingly and rushed forward desperately.
At this moment, a sinister and terrifying laughter came from the ruins. The laughter echoed in the empty space, making people feel creepy.
"Hahahaha, you can't escape! This is my territory, you will all become my prey!"
Lin Xiao looked around, her eyes filled with anger and fear. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall, and gritted her teeth and said, "Who are you? Come out if you have the guts, and stop playing tricks here!"
However, the only answer she got was endless darkness and eerie laughter.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, trying to find Mo Yu's trace and a way to leave here.
Just then, she discovered some strange symbols and patterns on the wall.
"What on earth are these? Could they be the key to solving the puzzle?" Lin Xiao muttered to himself as he reached out to touch the symbols.
Suddenly, a powerful force sucked her into the wall.
Lin Xiao felt a darkness before his eyes, and he fell into the fear of the unknown again.
What kind of shocking secrets are hidden in this mysterious ruins? Where did Mo Yu go? Can Lin Xiao successfully escape from this terrifying place?
