Chapter 52: The Light of Dawn in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Adventure of Life and Death
After experiencing a series of nightmare-like twists and turns, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stepped into this mysterious and gloomy forest exhausted. In the forest, the towering trees seemed like ancient giants, stretching out their thick branches and covering the sky tightly. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the gaps between the dense leaves, casting a faint and mottled light and shadow, like a series of broken hopes.
Lin Xiao held Mo Yu's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with extreme fear and anxiety. Her voice trembled like a leaf in the wind: "Mo Yu, this place is too scary, I feel like I've walked into the set of a horror movie, and I'm afraid something will suddenly jump out with every step I take." As she spoke, she looked around nervously, as if the unknown hidden in the darkness would pounce on her at any time.
Mo Yu's expression was solemn and firm. He held Lin Xiao's hand tightly, trying to give her some strength and courage. His eyes scanned the surroundings sharply, and his voice was steady but with a hint of comfort: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here. Even if the King of Hell comes, he has to get past me first." As he said that, he pulled Lin Xiao behind him and used his body to shield her from possible danger.
They groped their way forward cautiously in the forest, the thick fallen leaves under their feet making a "crunching" sound, as if telling them the secrets of the forest. Suddenly, a gloomy cold wind whistled past, and the branches shook violently, making a "humming" sound, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in pain.
Lin Xiao was frightened by the sudden sound of wind and screamed: "Ah! What's that sound? It almost scared my soul away!" Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her body involuntarily moved closer to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu quickly embraced her in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, it may just be an ordinary sound of wind, don't scare yourself."
At this moment, they heard a deep and fierce roar from afar. The sound echoed in the forest, shaking the leaves to fall. Lin Xiao's face turned pale in an instant, and her voice trembled so much that she could hardly form a sentence: "Mo Yu, this... this can't be some super scary monster, right?"
Mo Yu frowned, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "I don't know, but we have to deal with it carefully and never let it hurt you."
They continued to move forward fearfully, and suddenly, a dilapidated wooden house appeared in front of them. The wooden house was surrounded by weeds, almost covering the entire house. The doors and windows were closed, and it looked like a corner forgotten by the world.
Lin Xiao swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, this wooden house looks too weird, it feels like a haunted house in a horror movie. Do we really want to go in?"
Mo Yu pondered for a moment, then said with a firm look: "Maybe there are clues in there that can help us. Even if it is dangerous, we have to go in and take a look. Be careful and follow me."
They slowly pushed open the door of the wooden house, and the door hinges made a harsh "creaking" sound, as if protesting their intrusion. The house was filled with a strong stale smell, and dust was flying in the air, choking Lin Xiao and making him cough.
Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose with his hands and complained, "This place is too dirty. What useful clues can we find? It feels like an abandoned shabby house."
Just then, they heard a faint and heavy breathing sound. Lin Xiao was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he grabbed Mo Yu's arm tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, I'm scared, where does this sound come from?"
Mo Yu said softly: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'll go take a look."
Mo Yu walked cautiously towards the direction of the sound, only to see an old man covered in wounds lying in the corner. The old man's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed a hint of despair and helplessness.
Mo Yu quickly stepped forward, squatted down and asked, "Old man, why are you here? Who hurt you like this?"
The old man opened his eyes with difficulty and said weakly, "I was chased here by a group of ruthless villains. They would do anything to get a mysterious treasure."
Lin Xiao came over in surprise and asked, "Mysterious treasure? What kind of treasure is that that is worth their risking their lives for?"
The old man shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know what it is exactly, but it is said that possessing it can control the power of the entire Fantasy World Continent."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of noisy and hurried footsteps outside the wooden house. Mo Yu's face suddenly became serious, and he whispered: "Not good, they are chasing us. Xiao'er, you take the old man and hide, I will deal with them."
Lin Xiao nervously pulled the corner of Mo Yu's clothes and said, "Mo Yu, you must be careful!"
Mo Yu nodded, gave her a firm look, then turned and walked out of the cabin.
Lin Xiao took the old man and hid behind a shabby cabinet. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.
There was a fierce fight outside, the sound of swords clashing, shouting, and roaring intertwined. Lin Xiao covered his mouth tightly, afraid of making any sound.
Suddenly, the fighting stopped and the surroundings fell into silence. Lin Xiao's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she silently prayed in her heart that Mo Yu would be safe.
At this time, the door of the wooden house was slowly pushed open, and Mo Yu's figure appeared at the door.
Lin Xiao hurried over, looked him up and down, and asked anxiously: "Mo Yu, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Mo Yu smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine, Xiao'er, I beat them away."
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great. I was really worried that something might happen to you."
However, what they don't know is that this is only a short-lived calm. The bad guys have not really given up, and they are secretly planning a more sinister conspiracy.
Can Lin Xiao and Mo Yu see through the enemy's conspiracy? Can they find the mysterious treasure and solve the mystery of the Fantasy World Continent? Everything is still unknown...
