Chapter 42: The Fantasy World: The Shocking Conspiracy Behind the Invitation
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu had just escaped from a dangerous battle and had no time to catch their breath when a mysterious invitation letter appeared in front of them like a ghost.
Lin Xiao grabbed the invitation letter, her brows twisted into a knot, with a look of confusion and vigilance: "What the hell is this? Such a crappy invitation letter suddenly appeared, could it be a trap?" She fiddled with the invitation letter over and over again, muttering to herself.
Mo Yu came over, staring at the invitation letter, and said solemnly: "Xiao'er, this matter is very strange. We must be careful and don't get into trouble."
The mysterious pattern on the invitation seemed to be a curse from ancient times, making people feel creepy at a glance. Lin Xiao's eyes widened and he couldn't help but complain: "This pattern is too weird, like the witchcraft symbols in horror movies. Is it a deadly trap?"
Mo Yu held Lin Xiao's hand and tried to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er. No matter if there are mountains of swords or seas of fire ahead, I will accompany you."
The two decided to go to the address on the invitation to find out. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, with green mountains and clear waters like a beautiful ink painting, but they had no intention of appreciating it.
Lin Xiao looked back from time to time, looking as nervous as a frightened rabbit: "Mo Yu, I always feel like there are eyes staring at us from behind, this feeling is terrible!"
Mo Yu observed his surroundings vigilantly, his eyes as sharp as a falcon: "Don't panic, Xiao'er, maybe you are too nervous and have an illusion."
Finally, they arrived at the ancient castle mentioned in the invitation letter. The castle stood high on the top of the mountain, surrounded by thick clouds and mist, like a mysterious fortress isolated from the world.
Lin Xiao looked up at the castle, swallowed his saliva, and his voice trembled: "This place looks gloomy and scary. I feel like the hairs on my body are standing up."
Mo Yu held her hand and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here."
Walking into the castle, it was empty, with only a faint candlelight swaying in the wind, as if it would go out at any time. Suddenly, a cold wind whistled past, and Lin Xiao couldn't help shivering, and his teeth began to chatter: "Mo Yu, I'm scared, why is this wind so cold, it feels like there is something unclean."
"Mo Yu, I'm scared." Lin Xiao grabbed Mo Yu's arm tightly, and his fingers turned white from the force.
Mo Yu patted her hands and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here and nothing will happen to you."
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed past them from behind like a ghost.
"Who?" Mo Yu shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty castle.
However, there was no response, only dead silence.
Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, what is going on? I feel like my heart is going to stop."
Mo Yu frowned, his eyes were sharp, and he said vigilantly: "Be careful, there must be something strange here."
They continued to move forward cautiously and came to a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge table filled with all kinds of strange objects, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
Lin Xiao was curious and wanted to go forward to check, but Mo Yu quickly stopped her and said sternly: "Don't move, be careful of traps!"
At this moment, a secret door suddenly appeared on the wall and slowly opened, revealing a pungent smell.
"This...what is this?" Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose in surprise, his eyes wide open.
Mo Yu observed the secret door carefully and said, "I don't know. Let's go in carefully and take a look."
They walked into the secret door, which led to a narrow passageway filled with a strong, pungent smell that almost suffocated people.
Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose with his hands, frowned, and complained: "This smell is too bad, I'm about to faint from the fumes, what the hell is this place?"
Mo Yu comforted him, "Hold on a little longer, Xiao'er, maybe the answer is just ahead."
Suddenly, a low roar came from the passage, as if from a demon from hell.
"Oh no, there's danger!" Mo Yu quickly protected Lin Xiao behind him, drew his sword, and prepared for battle.
At this moment, a huge monster rushed out from the darkness, and its ferocious appearance was terrifying.
Lin Xiao screamed in fear: "Ah! What kind of monster is this! It looks so scary!"
Mo Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes firm, and said loudly: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I will deal with it!"
Mo Yu and the monster started a fierce fight, sword shadows crossed, sparks flew. Lin Xiao shouted anxiously: "Mo Yu, be careful!"
The monster's attack was extremely fierce, and Mo Yu gradually lost his strength. At this critical moment, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered the monster's weakness.
"Mo Yu, attack its eyes!" Lin Xiao shouted.
Hearing this, Mo Yu stabbed the monster's eyes with his sword. The monster screamed and fell to the ground.
"Finally solved!" Mo Yu panted, his clothes soaked with sweat.
Lin Xiao ran over, supported Mo Yu, and said distressedly: "Are you okay?"
Mo Yu forced a smile: "I'm fine, Xiao'er, let's keep going."
However, they didn't know that this was just the beginning, and more dangers and mysteries were waiting for them...
