Chapter 43: The Fantasy World Treasure Hunt Adventure: The Shocking Secret Behind the Treasure
After a series of thrilling adventures, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu finally had a moment of peace. However, the peaceful days did not last long, and the gears of fate began to turn again.
On this day, they were strolling around the town as usual, when they suddenly heard a heart-pounding piece of news. A mysterious old man was whispering in the streets that in a distant foreign land, there was a shocking treasure hidden, and it was said that this treasure had a mysterious power that could change the fate of the entire Fantasy World Continent.
Lin Xiao's eyes instantly lit up like two bright stars. He almost jumped up with excitement and said impatiently, "Mo Yu, how about we go treasure hunting? Maybe this is the opportunity we have been waiting for. We can find the key to return home, or completely change our destiny in this world!"
Mo Yu frowned slightly, his expression solemn, and he fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly said: "Xiao'er, this does sound very tempting, but you have to know that foreign lands are always dangerous, full of unknown challenges and unpredictable dangers."
When Lin Xiao heard this, she put her hands on her hips, pouted her lips, and said unconvincedly: "Humph, Mo Yu, you are just a coward! If we don't seize such a good opportunity, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"
Mo Yu smiled helplessly, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes, and said: "Okay, okay, since you are so determined, let's go and give it a try. But you have to follow me closely and don't run around."
So, the two simply packed their bags and set off on a treasure hunt full of unknowns. Along the way, the scenery was so bizarre that it made people feel like they were in a dream world. Sometimes the sun was scorching in the sky, and the scorching sun was like countless red-hot steel needles, piercing their skin mercilessly and baking the earth dry and cracked, as if a raging fire would ignite at any time. Lin Xiao fanned the wind with his hands and complained, "Oh my God, this damn weather is going to steam me to death! I feel like I'm going to be turned into a roasted suckling pig!"
Mo Yu smiled and handed her a handkerchief, comforting her: "Hold on a little longer, Xiao'er, maybe the treasure is waiting for us not far ahead."
Sometimes there was a strong wind, with flying sand and rocks, and the wind was howling like a group of crazy beasts. Lin Xiao was blinded by the wind and sand, and kept rubbing his eyes, muttering: "This broken wind is really going to kill me!"
Mo Yu quickly pulled her behind him, used his body to shield her from the wind and sand, and said, "Be careful, Xiao'er, don't get hurt by the wind and sand."
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the foreign land. They saw a towering mountain like a huge monster blocking their way. The mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, mysterious and unpredictable, as if hiding countless secrets and dangers.
Lin Xiao looked at the mountain whose top was almost invisible, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "This mountain is too high, can we really climb it? I feel like this is simply mission impossible!"
Mo Yu patted her shoulder, gave her a firm look, and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here. As long as we work together, nothing can stop us."
They began to climb the mountain with difficulty. The mountain road was rugged and covered with large and small stones and thorns. Lin Xiao almost slipped several times, and each time Mo Yu quickly supported her.
"Oh, I'm so scared! This road is too difficult to walk on. I feel like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere!" Lin Xiao tightly grasped a branch beside him, breathing heavily.
Mo Yu pulled her up and encouraged her, "Come on, Xiao'er, hold on a little longer, we'll reach a flat place soon."
After finally climbing halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard an eerie and terrifying laugh echoing in the valley.
"Hahaha, do you think you can find the treasure so easily? That's just a pipe dream!" A mysterious voice came, full of ridicule and disdain.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their eyes full of vigilance, and quickly looked around.
"Who's there? Come out quickly! Don't hide like a coward!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the valley.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed past them like a ghost, so fast that it was almost invisible.
Lin Xiao screamed in fear: "Ah! What is this?"
Mo Yu quickly drew his sword and protected Lin Xiao in front of him. His muscles were tense, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.
The shadow gradually revealed itself, and it turned out to be a tall and hideous man with a ferocious face. His face was covered with strange tattoos, and his eyes flashed with strange light, which made people shudder.
The weirdo sneered, "This treasure is mine, you guys can't get it! Get out of here if you know what's best for you, or I'll be rude to you!"
As he said this, he rushed towards them, waving the mace in his hand.
Mo Yu was not afraid at all, and started a fierce fight with the monster. For a moment, sword shadows crossed and sparks flew.
Lin Xiao shouted anxiously: "Mo Yu, be careful! Don't get hurt!"
Mo Yu gradually gained the upper hand with his superb martial arts and agility. However, the weirdo was no ordinary person either. He suddenly used a strange spell, muttering something, and a black light shot out from his hand, heading straight for Mo Yu.
Mo Yu was unable to dodge and was knocked back instantly, falling heavily to the ground.
"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao hurried over, helped Mo Yu up, and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you injured?"
Mo Yu gritted his teeth and stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said: "I'm fine, this guy is not simple, we have to be careful."
At this time, the weirdo smiled triumphantly and said, "You can't beat me, just give up! Otherwise, today will be the day you die!"
Lin Xiao glared at the weirdo angrily and shouted, "Don't even think about it! We won't give up! Even if it costs our lives, we will fight you to the end!"
Just when they were in trouble, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a weakness of the weirdo. She suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Mo Yu, attack his left leg! His left leg doesn't seem to be very flexible!"
When Mo Yu heard this, a determined light flashed in his eyes. He raised his sword and struck hard at the monster's left leg.
The weirdo screamed, fell to the ground, and struggled in pain.
They continued to move forward and finally came to the cave where the treasure was. The cave was filled with strange light, and the walls were inlaid with various precious gems, which were dazzling.
Lin Xiao was curious and wanted to go forward to check, but Mo Yu quickly stopped her: "Be careful, there might be something fishy going on. Observe for a while first."
However, at this moment, the cave began to shake violently, rocks above the head kept falling, and it seemed that it was about to collapse.
"Oh no, run!" Mo Yu pulled Lin Xiao and rushed towards the exit.
While running away, Lin Xiao accidentally fell down.
"Xiao'er!" Mo Yu turned around without hesitation, picked up Lin Xiao and continued running.
Just when they were about to run out of the cave, a huge rock blocked their way.
"What should we do?" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with fear.
Mo Yu took a deep breath and used all his strength to push the stone away.
They finally escaped from the cave, however, before they could catch their breath, they found a group of mysterious people appearing in front of them.
"Hand over the treasure!" said the leader coldly.
How will Lin Xiao and Mo Yu respond? Can they escape successfully? What is the truth about the treasure?
