Chapter 46: Exploring the Fantasy World: The Shocking Mystery of the Mysterious Ruins
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu, a pair of partners who share life and death, finally arrived at this legendary and mysterious ancient town after experiencing countless life and death tests and fantasy adventures.
This town is like an old man sleeping in the depths of time, tightly embraced by the towering mountains. The sun tries hard to penetrate the thin clouds, like a diligent painter trying to paint patches of mottled and charming light and shadow on the ancient stone road.
Lin Xiao's big, lively eyes looked around curiously, and her petite body was attracted by the ancient and mysterious atmosphere around her. She kept talking, "Wow, Mo Yu, this place looks so mysterious! It feels like it hides countless unknown secrets!"
Mo Yu was alert, his eagle-like eyes did not miss any tiny corner around him. His tall and straight figure seemed to be a solid line of defense in this mysterious town. He said softly: "Xiao'er, don't take it lightly, every breath here is unusual."
They slowly walked into a bustling pub, where the noise, laughter, and clinking of glasses formed a unique melody.
Lin Xiao found an empty seat by the window, sat down, slammed the table, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, two glasses of wine! Hurry up!"
The boss was a plump middle-aged man with a smile as warm as the spring sun. He poured the wine skillfully and said, "My two guests, I can tell at a glance that you are from other places. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Lin Xiao took the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Boss, you underestimate us. But, what fun things are there in this place? Tell us about it!"
The boss blinked mysteriously and lowered his voice, as if he was sharing a big secret: "I heard that there is a mysterious ruins outside the city, which is said to contain countless treasures and mysterious and powerful forces. No one who goes there can come back alive. That place is very evil!"
When Lin Xiao heard this, his eyes instantly lit up like the bright stars in the night sky, and he said excitedly: "Is it true? Then we must find out! Maybe we can make a fortune!"
Mo Yu frowned, his eyes full of worry, and said, "Xiao'er, don't be impulsive. This matter is not that simple. It may be a deadly trap."
However, Lin Xiao was always stubborn. She snorted and said, "What are you afraid of? We have been through a lot. What kind of storms and waves have we not seen? What's this little challenge?"
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight just shone on the earth, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu resolutely set out on the road to the ruins. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, and the green mountains and green waters were like a poem and a dream. The rolling green mountains were like a giant dragon winding and stretching; the clear streams flowed happily, as if singing ancient ballads; the colorful wild flowers swayed gently in the breeze, exuding charming fragrance.
But at this moment, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu had no intention of appreciating this picturesque scenery. Their hearts were filled with tension and anticipation for the unknown.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past without warning, rustling the leaves, as if it was a warning from nature.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but shudder, hugged his arms tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, this wind came too suddenly! It feels like something bad is going to happen!"
Mo Yu clenched the sword in his hand, looked forward firmly, and said: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here. Be careful, this may be a bad sign."
Not long after they walked, they came to a deep valley. The valley was filled with thick fog, which was as thick as a pot of mushy porridge, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, stopped, and said, "Mo Yu, the fog is so thick that we can't see anything inside. How about we go back first? We can come back after the fog clears."
Mo Yu shook his head and said firmly, "We have come this far. If we go back now, won't all our efforts be wasted? Let's be careful and go in and take a look."
They walked into the valley cautiously, and immediately heard strange noises in their ears, which sometimes sounded like the roar of wild beasts, and sometimes like the howling of evil spirits, making people shudder.
Lin Xiao turned pale with fear. He grasped the corner of Mo Yu's clothes tightly with both hands and said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, I'm scared! What are these noises?"
"Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here." Mo Yu comforted, while protecting Lin Xiao behind him and vigilantly observing the movements around him.
At this moment, a huge monster suddenly rushed out from the fog. The monster was as big as a mountain, its fur was as hard as steel needles, and its pair of blood-red eyes exuded a frightening fierce light, and it pounced on them with its fangs and claws bared.
Lin Xiao screamed: "Oh my god, what kind of monster is this! Why is it so big!"
Mo Yu was not afraid at all, he drew his sword in an instant and rushed forward. His figure was as fast as lightning, and the shadow of his sword flashed, and he started a fierce fight with the monster.
The monster's claws left deep scars on Mo Yu's body, and blood stained his clothes red.
Lin Xiao was extremely anxious, and she looked around for something that could help. Suddenly, she found a sharp stone, picked it up quickly, and threw it at the monster with all her strength.
The monster was hit, turned its head angrily and pounced towards Lin Xiao.
Seeing this, Mo Yu flew in front of Lin Xiao and stabbed the monster in the vitals with a sword.
The monster let out a shrill scream, fell to the ground with a bang, and raised a cloud of dust.
Mo Yu collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion due to his serious injuries.
Lin Xiao quickly ran over and helped Mo Yu up, tears welling up in her eyes. She said distressedly, "How are you? Are you seriously injured? It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on coming, you wouldn't have been hurt."
Mo Yu forced a smile and said weakly: "I'm fine, Xiao'er, as long as you are safe. Let's keep going."
After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins. The door of the ruins was closed, and it was engraved with strange symbols and mysterious patterns, as if telling an ancient story.
Lin Xiao curiously reached out and touched the patterns, saying, "What do these mean? They feel so mysterious!"
Mo Yu quickly stopped her and said, "Don't move, Xiao'er, there might be a trap."
Just as they were racking their brains to figure out how to open the door, heavy footsteps suddenly came from behind them.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu turned around warily, only to see a group of men in black appear in front of them.
The black-clad man in the lead had a stern face and a murderous look in his eyes. He said coldly: "This ruins belongs to us, you guys leave quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Lin Xiao did not back down, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Why? We were here first! This ruins is not yours!"
The man in black swung his weapon and launched an attack without saying a word.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos with the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers.
Can Lin Xiao and Mo Yu defeat the men in black in this fierce battle and successfully enter the ruins? What shocking secrets are hidden in the ruins? Where will their fate go?
