Chapter 62: The Fantasy World of Despair and Escape: Lin Xiaomoyu's Life and Death Race
The night was like an endless, thick black curtain, weighing heavily on the Fantasy World Continent, as if it was going to swallow the entire world into endless darkness. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were trapped in this eerie castle, surrounded by deathly silence, with only a few strange noises coming from time to time, which made people shudder.
Lin Xiao tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, which was flashing with cold light. Her palms were full of sweat, and her eyes revealed a complex emotion of fear and determination that was difficult to conceal. Her breathing was rapid and disordered, and her chest rose and fell violently, like a bomb about to explode.
"Mo Yu, what the hell is this place? Why are we trapped here for no reason? This is too ridiculous!" Lin Xiao shouted with a trembling voice and tears in his eyes.
Mo Yu frowned, his deep eyes vigilantly scanning the dark corners around him, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope in this endless darkness. His face was as solemn as if covered with a layer of frost, "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here. This time I'm really in a desperate situation, but I will never let anything happen to you."
Suddenly, a cold wind whistled past, like countless sharp knives cutting across Lin Xiao's skin. Her hair was blown into a mess, and she couldn't help shivering.
"Why is this wind so eerie? It feels like it's blowing from hell. Is some dirty stuff coming?" Lin Xiao's teeth were chattering, his voice filled with fear.
Mo Yu protected Lin Xiao behind him, holding the sword tightly in both hands, his body tense like a fully drawn bow, "No matter what it is, if it dares to come, I will make it come without return!"
At this moment, a low and terrifying roar came from the depths of the castle. The sound seemed to come from an ancient demon, shaking the entire castle slightly.
"Oh my god, what the hell is that screaming? I'm about to get scared to death!" Lin Xiao was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs went weak.
Mo Yu's expression became more serious. "I don't know, but he is definitely not a good person. Xiao'er, stay away and don't get hurt."
They carefully groped their way towards the source of the sound. The stone pavement under their feet was covered with traces of time, and every step made an eerie "creaking" sound, which was particularly harsh in this silent castle.
They walked into a spacious and gloomy hall, and saw a huge, ferocious monster appear before them. The monster was covered with sharp steel needles, each of which flashed a chilling cold light. Its eyes were like two burning blood-red flames, and from its mouth spewed a thick black smoke that emitted a pungent stench.
"Oh my god! What kind of monster is this!" Lin Xiao screamed in horror and almost fell to the ground.
Mo Yu flew towards the monster without hesitation, the long sword in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air, "Xiao'er, close your eyes, don't be afraid!"
Mo Yu's swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind, and every move was full of desperate momentum. But the monster was not to be outdone, and it swung its huge claws fiercely, bringing up a gust of wind, forcing Mo Yu back again and again.
"Mo Yu, be careful!" Lin Xiao shouted anxiously, his heart in his throat.
Wounds gradually appeared on Mo Yu's body, and blood stained his clothes red, but his eyes remained firm, as if burning with a flame that would never go out.
Just when Mo Yu was gradually losing strength and was about to collapse, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered the monster's weakness.
"Mo Yu, attack its abdomen, that's its fatal spot!" Lin Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs.
Hearing this, Mo Yu gritted his teeth and used up his last bit of strength to stab the monster in the abdomen. The monster let out a painful scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Just when they thought the crisis was over and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the wall of the hall suddenly opened slowly, revealing a deep and dark passage.
"What's going on? Is this another trap?" Lin Xiao looked at the dark passage, feeling anxious.
Mo Yu panted heavily, sweat kept flowing down his cheeks, "I don't know, but maybe this is our only way to leave here. No matter what, we have to give it a try."
They walked into the passage cautiously, which was filled with a pungent smell, as if it was the breath of death. Strange noises could be heard from time to time in the passage, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the darkness.
"Mo Yu, I feel uneasy. Will something suddenly pop out?" Lin Xiao grabbed the corner of Mo Yu's clothes tightly, his voice trembling.
Mo Yu comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here and nothing will happen to you."
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard in the passage, getting closer and clearer.
"This...what is this?" Lin Xiao's voice was full of fear.
Mo Yu raised his sword, ready for battle, "No matter what it is, don't be afraid!"
A group of dark shadows walked out of the darkness. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but they exuded an evil aura.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Mo Yu shouted.
"Hmph, intruders, don't even think about leaving alive!" A sinister voice came from the darkness.
A fierce battle is about to begin. Can Lin Xiao and Mo Yu break through the siege? What kind of shocking secret is hidden at the end of the passage?
