Chapter 82: Lin Xiao's desperate escape
The night was like a huge black curtain, weighing heavily on the sky above the Fantasy World Continent. The cold moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold light that seemed to cover the land with a layer of frost. Lin Xiao was like a frightened deer, running wildly in the gloomy forest. Her breathing was as rapid as a bellows, and every breath was accompanied by a heavy wheeze.
"What the hell is this place!" Lin Xiao kept cursing as she ran, her voice full of fear and anger. Her hair was already soaked with sweat, sticking to her face in a mess, and kept swinging as she ran.
The trees around her were like giant monsters with bared fangs and claws, stretching out twisted branches as if to grab her. From time to time, strange noises could be heard from the shadows, like a woman's sobbing, a beast's growling, and the creepy sound of branches breaking.
Lin Xiao's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She tightly grasped the dagger in her hand. The dagger flashed coldly in the moonlight, as if it was her only life-saving straw at the moment. Her eyes were wide open, and she vigilantly observed every movement around her, not daring to relax at all.
Suddenly, a huge bat whizzed past her head, bringing with it a chilly breeze. Lin Xiao was so frightened that she slipped and almost fell to the ground.
"Oh my god!" she screamed and finally managed to steady herself.
Just then, a turbulent river appeared in front of them. The water was roaring, the waves were splashing, and it made a huge roar.
Lin Xiao looked at the river in front of her, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, then she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and jumped into the river without hesitation.
"Plop!" The freezing cold water instantly surrounded her. The coldness was like countless needles, piercing every inch of her skin. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, and her teeth began to chatter.
"I can't die here!" she shouted in her heart, waving her arms vigorously and swimming forward with difficulty.
After swimming to the other side with great difficulty, Lin Xiaogang climbed onto the river bank. Before he had time to catch his breath, he heard a sinister laugh coming from behind him.
"Hahahaha, little girl, do you think you can escape?" The voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, making people shudder.
Lin Xiao turned around suddenly and saw a dark figure slowly walking out of the woods. The dark figure was shrouded in a thick darkness, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
"Who are you? Why are you chasing me?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, with a slight tremor in his voice, but more of it was anger and indomitable spirit.
The shadow gradually approached, and finally revealed a hideous face covered with twisted scars, a pair of eyes flashing a strange red light, and sharp fangs in its mouth.
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that tonight is the day you die!" the black shadow said viciously, his voice like the cry of a night owl.
Lin Xiao's heart tightened and he gripped the dagger even tighter, cold sweat breaking out on his palms.
"If you want to kill me, it's not that easy! I, Lin Xiao, am not someone you can easily bully!" Lin Xiao glared at you and shouted loudly.
After saying that, she rushed towards the shadow regardless of everything.
The black shadow dodged Lin Xiao's attack easily by moving sideways, and then punched Lin Xiao on the shoulder with his backhand.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed and was beaten back several steps.
"Is that all you can do?" the black shadow sneered, with a scornful smile on his face.
Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and rushed forward again. She waved the dagger and stabbed at the black shadow's vital points.
The black shadow dodged left and right, easily avoiding Lin Xiao's attacks.
"Don't waste your energy, little girl!" the black shadow sneered.
Lin Xiao was panting, sweat streaming down her cheeks, but her eyes remained firm.
"I won't give up!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly found a stone under the black shadow's feet. She came up with a plan, pretending to attack the black shadow's front again, and then kicked the stone while it was off guard.
The stone flew up and hit the black shadow in the face.
"Ah!" The black shadow screamed and covered his face.
Lin Xiao took the opportunity to rush forward and stabbed the black shadow's chest with a dagger.
The black shadow dodged quickly, but was still scratched on the arm by Lin Xiao.
"You damn girl!" the black shadow roared angrily.
Lin Xiao took advantage of the victory and continued to attack.
Just when the two were fighting fiercely, suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from the forest.
When the black shadow heard the sound of the flute, his face instantly became extremely frightened.
"Oh no, he's coming!" The black shadow left a word and turned and ran away.
Lin Xiao looked confused, not knowing what was going on.
At this moment, a mysterious man appeared in front of Lin Xiao.
The man was dressed in a white robe, with an extraordinary temperament, like an immortal who had descended to earth.
"Girl, are you okay?" The man's voice was gentle and pleasant.
Lin Xiao looked at the man warily and asked, "Who are you?"
The man smiled and said, "I'm here to save you."
Lin Xiao looked at him doubtfully and said, "Really?"
The man nodded and said, "Come with me, it's not safe here."
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow the man.
Under the guidance of the man, Lin Xiao came to a mysterious place...
