Chapter 76: "Breaking Out of the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Life and Death Race"
The morning light was dim, and the soft light was like a layer of gauze, gently falling on the vast and mysterious land of Fantasy World. However, this weak warmth failed to dispel the solemnity and depression that permeated the air. Lin Xiao stood alone on the top of a cliff that towered into the clouds. The cold wind as sharp as a knife mercilessly cut across her fair and tender cheeks, leaving a trail of red marks.
Lin Xiao's eyes revealed a deep confusion and determination, a complex emotion of fear of an unknown fate and firmness of one's own beliefs. She pursed her lips tightly, frowning as if she could kill a fly. "I have experienced too many ups and downs along the way, but where is the future?" She murmured to herself, her voice trembling and broken, and was instantly blown to pieces by the howling wind.
At this moment, Mo Yu's tall and straight figure quietly appeared behind her. His eyes were full of concern and worry, and his brows were also wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.
"Lin Xiao, don't take risks alone anymore, come back with me." There was a hint of pleading in Mo Yu's voice, as if a helpless child was begging for his most beloved toy.
Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, and his stubborn eyes shot straight at Mo Yu like two sharp swords.
"Go back? Do I have any way out? I'm unwilling to give up like this!" She screamed hysterically, her voice becoming hoarse with excitement.
Mo Yu walked forward with firm steps and tried to hold her hand, but she angrily shook it away.
"Don't touch me! I don't need your pity and sympathy!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, tears welling up in her eyes but stubbornly refusing to fall.
At this moment, a sharp bird cry suddenly sounded in the sky, which was so sharp that it made people's eardrums hurt. A huge black strange bird swooped down towards them like a dark cloud from hell. The wings of the strange bird were several feet wide, and every flap of the wings caused a violent hurricane, and sand and stones flew everywhere, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this?" Lin Xiao cursed while quickly adjusting his posture, forming seals with his hands, and preparing to cast magic to fight the enemy.
Mo Yu's face instantly became as solemn as iron. He drew the sword from his waist, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.
"This is the guardian beast of the Fantasy World Continent. It seems that we have violated some taboos. But don't be afraid, I am here!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, his voice full of strength and courage.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what it is, I'm not afraid! Even if I die today, I will fight it to the death!"
After saying that, she flew up and turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the strange bird. Seeing this, Mo Yu followed without hesitation, the sword in his hand flashing with cold light.
In the fierce battle, Lin Xiao gradually lost her strength. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her breathing became rapid and disordered. She was hit hard by the sharp wings of the strange bird, and her body fell rapidly from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
"Lin Xiao!" Mo Yu let out a heart-wrenching scream, his eyes filled with despair and fear.
Just when Lin Xiao was about to fall to the ground, a mysterious light suddenly shot out from the bottomless valley, like a pair of gentle and powerful hands, gently lifting her up.
Lin Xiao looked at the light in surprise, his heart full of confusion and shock.
At this moment, a mysterious and ancient voice sounded in her ears.
"My child, your mission has just begun. This is destiny's arrangement, and it is also a challenge you cannot escape..."
