Chapter 71: "Illusionary World and Despair: Lin Xiao's Counterattack"
The night was like thick ink, weighing heavily on the Fantasy World Continent, as if it was going to swallow up this mysterious land. Lin Xiao walked alone in this dark and gloomy forest, and every step seemed to be dragging a thousand-pound yoke. Her panting was particularly clear in the silent forest, like the pull of a worn-out bellows.
"What the hell is this place? How could I be so unlucky to be transported to such a barren place!" Lin Xiao muttered while observing her surroundings vigilantly. Her eyes were full of fear and confusion, but her stubborn expression showed her determination not to give in easily.
The trees around her were tall and eerie, like giant monsters, stretching out their twisted branches as if to grab her tightly. The leaves rustled in the breeze, like the whispers of ghosts, creepy.
Suddenly, a low and threatening roar sounded in the distance, breaking the silence of the forest. Lin Xiao's body tensed up instantly, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?" Lin Xiao said in a trembling voice, his hands unconsciously clenching the slightly worn dagger in his hands.
At this moment, a huge, ferocious monster slowly walked out of the darkness. Its eyes, burning with strange red light, were like two balls of blazing fire, and its sharp fangs flashed a cold light under the moonlight, which was chilling.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened in horror, and she took a few steps back involuntarily. "Damn it, how could I meet such a horrible guy!" Her voice trembled even more, but her eyes still revealed a hint of stubbornness and unyielding spirit.
The monster approached step by step, and every step made the ground tremble slightly. Lin Xiao suppressed her fear and shouted loudly: "Don't come over! I'm not afraid of you! I, Lin Xiao, am not a vegetarian!" She waved her dagger, trying to scare the monster away.
The monster was unmoved and pounced on her fiercely. Lin Xiao dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the monster's attack. The monster's claws scratched the corner of her clothes, tearing a hole in an instant.
"Oh, that was close!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on his forehead.
The monster attacked again, opening its bloody mouth and spewing out a strong fishy smell. Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose and jumped flexibly to avoid it.
"This guy is too difficult to deal with!" Lin Xiao said, panting.
Just as she was gradually running out of strength, the monster suddenly pounced and threw her to the ground. Lin Xiao struggled desperately, stabbing the monster with the dagger in her hand.
"Get out of here! You ugly bastard!" Lin Xiao shouted.
The monster was enraged and raised its claws, ready to deal a fatal blow to Lin Xiao.
At this critical moment, a mysterious light appeared in the depths of the forest. The monster seemed to be afraid of the light, stopped attacking, and turned to look in the direction of the light.
Lin Xiao took the opportunity to get up from the ground, gasping for breath, his mind full of doubts: "What is that? Is it a savior?"
Just as she was hesitating whether to walk towards the light, a mysterious figure slowly walked out of the light. Lin Xiao stared at the figure nervously, still holding the dagger tightly in her hand.
"Who are you? Are you here to save me?" Lin Xiao asked loudly.
The mysterious figure did not answer, but slowly walked towards Lin Xiao. As the figure gradually approached, Lin Xiao finally saw the other person's face clearly...
