Chapter 117: "A Big Reversal in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Journey to Break Through&quo
The night of the Fantasy Continent was like a heavy black curtain, pressing down on the earth, plunging the entire world into a suffocating darkness. The faint and cold moonlight struggled to penetrate the thick clouds, and the little light it shed was like a stingy alms from the heavens, and it was completely unable to illuminate this gloomy and terrifying forest.
Lin Xiao walked alone in this gloomy forest. She took every step carefully. The dead branches and leaves under her feet creaked and were particularly clear in the quiet night. Her eyes revealed an unconcealable tension and uneasiness, like a frightened little rabbit, ready to run away at any time.
"This damn place is killing me!" Lin Xiao bit her lip and muttered. Her voice echoed in the empty forest, but was quickly swallowed by the darkness.
The surrounding trees were tall and twisted, like demons crawling out of hell, baring their fangs and claws, trying to catch Lin Xiao. The branches intertwined with each other, forming a strange web, as if blocking her way forward.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "I can't be scared by this broken place. I have to find a way out!" She encouraged herself.
Suddenly, an eerie wind blew, and the leaves rustled. The sound seemed like countless ghosts whispering, which made people feel creepy.
Lin Xiao's body trembled involuntarily, "Oh my god, what the hell is this?"
Just then, a faint sound came from not far away, like something moving through the grass.
Lin Xiao's heart instantly rose to her throat, "Is there a monster coming out?" She stopped, clenched the sword in her hand, and stared at the direction where the sound came from.
"Who? Come out here right now!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.
However, the only response she received was unsettling silence.
Just when she relaxed her guard a little, a huge black shadow passed over her head. The black shadow was so fast that it brought a gust of wind, blowing Lin Xiao's hair wildly.
Lin Xiao looked up and saw a bat-like monster hovering in the air. The monster was huge, and its wings spread out like two dark clouds, blocking the moonlight. Its eyes flashed a strange red light, and a foul smell came out of its mouth.
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but curse.
She quickly drew the sword from her waist, gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, and took a defensive posture.
The monster let out a low roar, swooped down, and attacked Lin Xiao with its sharp claws.
Lin Xiao dodged to the side, as agile as a monkey. She swung her sword at the monster's wings, and the sword flashed a cold light in the air.
"Hiss!" A cut was made on the monster's wing. It let out a scream, turned around and flew into the air again.
Lin Xiao was breathing heavily, his forehead was covered with sweat, the sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
"This thing is quite troublesome!" she said fiercely, her eyes full of stubbornness and indomitable spirit.
Just as she was about to continue dealing with the monster's attack, she heard a faint sound of footsteps behind her.
Lin Xiao was shocked, "Is there any other danger?"
She turned slowly and saw a mysterious figure walking out of the woods.
This mysterious man was wearing a black robe and a silver mask, so his face could not be seen clearly. But the aura emanating from him made people feel an invisible pressure.
"Who are you?" Lin Xiao asked vigilantly, with a hint of alertness in his voice.
The mysterious man smiled slightly, and said in a low and magnetic voice, "I'm here to help you."
Lin Xiao frowned, his eyes full of doubt, "Help me? Why should I trust you? In this world, who knows what you are up to!"
The mysterious man shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest. "Believe it or not, but you are in a bad situation now. This monster is not easy to deal with. Without my help, it will be difficult for you to leave here alive."
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, thinking secretly in his heart. At this moment, the monster attacked again.
The mysterious man acted quickly. A ray of light flashed in his hand and shot towards the monster like lightning.
The monster fell down with a scream, and after struggling on the ground for a few times, it stopped moving.
Lin Xiao looked at the mysterious man in surprise, his mouth slightly opened, "You... who are you? How can you have such a powerful force?"
The mysterious man smiled mysteriously, "You'll know later. Now, get out of here."
After saying this, the mysterious man turned around and prepared to leave.
Lin Xiao hurriedly shouted, "Wait! At least tell me your name!"
The mysterious man paused and said without turning his head, "The name is not important. What matters is that you survive."
After saying this, the mysterious man disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Xiao looked at the mysterious man's back, his heart filled with confusion and uneasiness.
"What is going on? Why do I encounter so many strange things?" she murmured to herself.
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt a powerful force surging around her. This force was like a surging tide, impacting her body wave after wave.
"Oh no, there are more powerful guys coming!" Lin Xiao gripped his sword tightly and looked around with a firm gaze.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble and the surrounding trees shook, as if the end of the world was coming.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, "No matter what it is, I won't give in easily!"
In the darkness, pairs of red eyes slowly opened. They were a group of unknown terrifying creatures approaching Lin Xiao...
