Chapter 65: The Fantasy World Treasure Hunt: Lin Xiaomoyu's Adventure
On a dark and windy night, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stepped into the ancient castle filled with mystery and spookiness. The walls were covered with dark green moss, like scars left by the years. The wind whistled through the cracks in the castle, making a sound like the crying of ghosts.
Lin Xiao held the swaying torch tightly in her hand, the flame dancing on her alert face, reflecting her nervous expression. Her eyes were wide open, like two sparkling gems, and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Mo Yu, why do I feel so uneasy? I always feel that this place has a sense of evil. Is there anything deadly here?"
Mo Yu's face was as solemn as if covered with a layer of frost, and the joints of his hand holding the sword turned white because he was holding it too hard. "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here for you. But we do have to be careful, this place may hide countless unknown dangers."
Suddenly, a cold wind blew violently, and the light of the torch flickered violently in an instant, as if it would go out at any time.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, his whole body trembled violently as if he was electrocuted, and then he grabbed Mo Yu's strong arm tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh.
Mo Yu quickly stretched out his other hand and gently patted the back of Lin Xiao's hand, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, and I won't let you get hurt at all."
They continued to move forward cautiously, each step seemed to be on the edge of a knife. The stone road under their feet was in disrepair and had many potholes. If they were not careful, they might fall.
Just then, they came to a tightly closed secret room. The door of the secret room looked heavy and ancient, and was engraved with strange and confusing symbols, as if it was a mysterious code from ancient times.
Lin Xiao frowned, her thin eyebrows almost twisted into a knot. She leaned in to observe the symbols carefully, muttering, "What are these? Could they be the key code to open this door? But I don't have any clue at all."
Mo Yu also stared at the symbols intently, his brain working rapidly, trying to find a clue from them.
Just as they racked their brains to think, they suddenly heard a heavy sound of footsteps coming from far away. The footsteps were particularly clear in the silent castle, and each one seemed to hit their hearts, making them tremble with fear.
"Who?" Lin Xiao and Mo Yu turned around almost at the same time and quickly prepared for battle. Their eyes were full of vigilance and determination, as if they were about to face a life-and-death battle.
I saw a black shadow slowly emerging from the darkness. Because the light was too dim, I couldn't see his face at all, only a vague outline.
"You shouldn't come here." The black shadow's voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from the depths of hell, with a chilling chill.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "Who are you? Why are you trying to stop us? This place isn't owned by your family!"
The shadow sneered, and the laughter echoed in the empty castle, making people feel creepy. "This is not a place you can set foot in. Leave now, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Mo Yu took a step forward, the sword in his hand flashing a cold light under the firelight. "Humph, what secrets are we not allowed to know? We'll open this door today!"
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed and attacked them like a ghost. Mo Yu reacted quickly, and the sword in his hand instantly rushed forward and started a fierce fight with the black shadow.
Lin Xiao shouted anxiously, "Mo Yu, be careful! Be careful!"
Mo Yu was agile, his swordsmanship was sharp, and every move was full of the momentum of a desperate struggle. But the black shadow was no ordinary person either, his moves were strange and varied, making it hard to defend against.
Just as Mo Yu was gradually gaining the upper hand and preparing to deal a fatal blow to Black Shadow, an accident occurred. The door of the secret room suddenly opened automatically, and a powerful and mysterious force, like an invisible big hand, suddenly sucked them in.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a huge treasure house. It was filled with a dazzling array of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as various magical weapons emitting mysterious light. Those jewels were shining with dazzling light, as if telling of their preciousness and extraordinaryness.
"Wow! So many treasures!" Lin Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in. She was so excited that she almost jumped up, and her hands unconsciously stretched forward, wanting to touch those tempting treasures.
However, before they could recover from their excitement, the walls around them suddenly began to move slowly, making a dull friction sound. Narrow gaps gradually appeared, as if to trap them in this place forever.
"Oh no, this is another trap!" Mo Yu's face turned pale in an instant and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lin Xiao was also panicking. She said anxiously, "What should we do? Mo Yu, we are not going to be trapped here to death, are we?"
Mo Yu forced himself to calm down, his brain working rapidly, thinking of a way to escape. "Don't panic, Xiao'er, we will definitely find a way out."
Just when they were in dire straits, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a small mechanism button on the wall.
"Mo Yu, look there! Maybe that's our life-saving straw!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly.
Mo Yu looked in the direction of her finger, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
Can they successfully press the button to escape this terrible trap? What kind of shocking secret is hidden behind the treasure? Who is that mysterious black shadow? Why did he stop Lin Xiao and Mo Yu from entering the secret room? All of this is still unknown...
