Chapter 144: "A Big Reversal in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Counterattack"
Lin Xiao stood alone in the desolate valley, the dense fog surrounding her like a thick white veil, trapping her tightly in it. The cold wind was like a sharp ice knife, mercilessly scratching her cheek, bringing bursts of stinging pain.
"What the hell is this place!" Lin Xiao frowned, looking annoyed and uneasy, and couldn't help muttering, "Why am I so unlucky to end up in this damn place!" While complaining, she looked around vigilantly, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.
She tightly grasped the sword in her hand, the hilt was soaked with sweat because of her excessive strength, and her knuckles were pale due to tension. Suddenly, a low and strange roar came from the distant fog, the sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, creepy.
"What the hell?" Lin Xiao's heart instantly rose to her throat and her body trembled involuntarily. "Is it a man-eating monster?" Her voice trembled with fear and her legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all.
She swallowed, suppressed her fear, and carefully moved in the direction of the sound. With every step she took, she felt her heartbeat echoing more and more violently in her ears.
A huge black shadow appeared vaguely in the thick fog. The shadow gradually became clearer. It turned out to be a huge and ferocious monster. Its blood-red eyes were like burning flames, flashing a ferocious light. Its sharp fangs were looming in the fog, as if it would tear Lin Xiao into pieces at any time.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear, her face instantly turned pale, bloodless. Her mind went blank, and she instinctively turned around and ran away.
"Help! Someone save me!" Lin Xiao ran desperately while shouting for help, her voice full of despair and fear. Her breathing became rapid and disordered, and her heartbeat was like a drum, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
The ground in the valley was rugged and uneven, and Lin Xiao accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" She fell to the ground hard, scraping her palms and knees, bleeding. But she ignored the pain, quickly got up, and continued to run forward.
"How can I escape from this damn place!" Lin Xiao cried as she ran, her eyes blurred by tears.
However, there was no response except for her own footsteps and panting. Lin Xiao felt her strength draining away quickly, and her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but she did not dare to stop. She had only one thought in her mind: I must survive!
Just when she was almost unable to run, she suddenly found a cave in front of her.
"Never mind, let's go in and hide first!" Lin Xiao rushed into the cave without hesitation.
The cave was dark and damp, filled with a pungent smell. Water droplets hung on the cave wall, dripping onto the ground with a crisp sound. Lin Xiao leaned against the cave wall, breathing heavily, her clothes soaked with sweat.
"What should I do? Will the monster chase me in?" Lin Xiao muttered to herself, her eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness. Her body kept shaking, as if she was in an ice cellar.
At this moment, the roar of a monster was heard outside the cave, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was right at the entrance of the cave.
"It's over, it's over, I'm dead now!" Lin Xiao's body trembled even more violently, and his teeth chattered constantly.
However, just when she felt desperate, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
"I can't just sit there and wait for death!" Lin Xiao gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She began to look for something useful in the cave, her hands constantly groping on the ground.
Finally, she found a sharp stone with an extremely sharp edge.
"I'm counting on you!" Lin Xiao held the stone tightly and hid beside the cave entrance. His heart beat rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
The monster's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and every step seemed to be stepping on Lin Xiao's heart. Lin Xiao's hands, which were tightly holding the stone, trembled slightly because of nervousness, and sweat dripped down his forehead.
When the monster appeared at the entrance of the cave, Lin Xiao took a deep breath, rushed out, and smashed the stone in his hand into the monster's eyes with all his strength.
"Go to hell!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
The stone hit the monster's eye accurately. The monster screamed in pain and blood gushed out of its eyes.
Lin Xiao took the opportunity to attack again. She raised her sword and slashed at the monster's leg.
"I'm going to chop off your legs!" Lin Xiao roared.
The monster waved its claws angrily, trying to catch Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao dodged flexibly and started a desperate fight with the monster.
"You beast, don't even think about hurting me!" Lin Xiao shouted while beating him.
Her face was covered in sweat and blood, but her eyes were full of determination and courage.
After a fierce fight, Lin Xiao gradually gained the upper hand. The monster's body was covered with wounds and its movements became slower.
"Now!" Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster's throat with a sword.
The monster struggled for a few times and finally fell to the ground, motionless.
Lin Xiao collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, with a victorious smile on his face.
"I finally defeated you!" Lin Xiao shouted.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the cave...
