Chapter 145: Life and Death Battle in the Mist

After successfully escaping the pursuit of the terrifying monster, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu continued to grope their way forward in this mysterious and dangerous area. The strange atmosphere that permeated the surroundings was like countless invisible hands tightly strangling their throats, making them feel uneasy and fearful with every breath.

Lin Xiao's mood was still gloomy. The desperate fight with the monster just now left a deep shadow in her heart. "Mo Yu, can we still get out of here alive?" Her voice was trembling, and her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety, as if the endless darkness had swallowed up the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

Mo Yu turned his head, his deep eyes flashing with a determined light, which was like a star in the dark night, bringing a touch of warmth and courage. "We can do it, as long as we don't give up." His voice was steady and powerful, like a vow, and like an unyielding struggle against fate.

They walked carefully, the road under their feet was bumpy and uneven, as if it was a cursed road of no return. From time to time, some strange noises came from afar, the sound was like crying, laughing, wind, ghosts, and made people shudder. Lin Xiao followed closely behind Mo Yu, the sword in her hand flashing coldly in the weak light, that was her last line of defense.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, mixed with some tiny sounds, as if someone was whispering an ancient and evil spell.

"Mo Yu, did you hear that?" Lin Xiao's body tensed up instantly, like a fully drawn bowstring that could break at any time.

Mo Yu stopped, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, frowning, "Don't panic, it might just be the sound of the wind." However, a hint of imperceptible doubt flashed in his eyes.

However, as they continued to move forward, they found an ancient stone bridge in front of them. The stone bridge spanned a bottomless ravine, and there was darkness under the bridge, as if it was the entrance to hell, exuding a chilling atmosphere.

Lin Xiao looked at the stone bridge, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart. The fear spread like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. "This bridge doesn't look very solid. Can we cross it?" Her voice trembled, like a leaf in the wind.

Mo Yu walked forward, stepped lightly on the stone bridge, frowned, and thought for a moment. "Be careful, it should be fine." Although his voice was firm, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

They stepped onto the stone bridge, taking every step very carefully, as if there was an abyss under their feet. Just when they reached the middle of the bridge, the stone bridge suddenly began to shake violently, as if an invisible force was destroying it wantonly.

"Oh no, the bridge is going to collapse!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, his voice full of fear and anxiety.

Lin Xiao's face turned pale as paper in an instant, completely bloodless. "What should I do?" She cried, tears of despair welling up in her eyes.

Mo Yu grabbed Lin Xiao and said, "Run!" His voice exploded like thunder, with unquestionable determination.

They desperately ran towards the other side. The stone bridge kept collapsing behind them, and the stones fell into the dark ravine one after another, making a terrifying sound. Just when they were about to reach the other side, a huge stone fell from the sky and hit Lin Xiao's leg.

"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Her eyes were full of pain and despair, as if the world had collapsed at this moment.

Mo Yu turned around without hesitation, picked up Lin Xiao, and jumped with all his strength. At that moment, his figure seemed to turn into a flash of lightning. Finally, they jumped to the other side and narrowly escaped the disaster.

The two men collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, their clothes soaked with sweat.

"Fortunately, we made it here." Mo Yu said, with a hint of relief in his voice for surviving the disaster.

Lin Xiao rubbed her injured leg, frowning, "But where should I go next?" Her voice was full of helplessness and confusion.

Mo Yu stood up and looked around with a determined look, hoping to find a clue. At this moment, they found some strange symbols engraved on the stone wall next to them. Those symbols were like ancient totems, emitting a mysterious light.

Mo Yu leaned in to study it carefully, frowning, and fell into deep thought. "These symbols seem to be hiding some information." His voice was low and solemn.

Lin Xiao also came over, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation. "Can you tell what it means?"

Mo Yu shook his head. "It's not clear yet, but maybe it's related to a way out." There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Just as they were concentrating on studying the symbols, they heard a slight sound of footsteps behind them. The footsteps were like the whispers of a ghost, and were particularly clear in the silent space.

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu instantly became alert and turned around to look. They saw a mysterious figure slowly walking out of the darkness, the figure was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, and the face could not be seen clearly.

Lin Xiao clenched the sword in his hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"

The mysterious figure did not answer, but just stood there quietly, exuding a chilling aura.

Mo Yu took a step forward and protected Lin Xiao behind him, "No matter who you are, don't try to hurt us!"

The mysterious figure finally spoke, his voice sounding like it came from the abyss of the underworld, "You have entered the forbidden area, and you are destined not to leave alive."

Lin Xiao shouted angrily: "Nonsense! We will definitely find a way out!"

The mysterious figure sneered and said, "Let's give it a try." As he said that, he waved his sleeves and a powerful force attacked Lin Xiao and Mo Yu.

Mo Yu stepped forward and started a fierce battle with the mysterious figure. Their figures intertwined in the darkness, with light flashing, as if it was a dance of life and death.

Lin Xiao watched anxiously from the side, silently praying for Mo Yu in his heart.

Just when Mo Yu was gradually gaining the upper hand, the mysterious figure suddenly used a strange spell. Mo Yu was unable to dodge and was seriously injured.

"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao rushed over and supported Mo Yu.

The mysterious figure took advantage of the situation to attack again, and Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were in desperate situation.

At this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly burst out from Lin Xiao's body. The force turned into a ray of light and repelled the mysterious figure.

The mysterious figure looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, "Who... are you?"

Lin Xiao herself was stunned by this power. She looked at her hands, at a loss.

Mo Yu looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Before they could come to their senses, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The originally dark space became bright, and they found themselves in a huge garden. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom, and it was beautiful, but behind this beauty, it seemed that there was a greater danger hidden.

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu walked cautiously in the garden, when suddenly a group of huge butterflies flew out from the flowers. The patterns on the wings of these butterflies flashed with strange light, and they flew towards Lin Xiao and Mo Yu.

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu quickly swung their swords to block, but the butterfly's wings were as hard as iron, and sparks flew when they collided with their weapons.

During the battle with the butterflies, Lin Xiao discovered a strange phenomenon. These butterflies seemed to be guarding something in the garden.

"Is this the key to our departure?" Lin Xiao thought to himself.

Mo Yu also noticed this, "We must find what they are guarding."

After a fierce battle, Lin Xiao and Mo Yu finally defeated the butterfly. They found an ancient statue deep in the garden, holding a mysterious crystal in its hand.

Lin Xiao reached out to take the crystal, but was bounced away by a powerful force.

"What on earth is this?" Lin Xiao asked puzzledly.

Mo Yu observed the statue and the crystal carefully, "Maybe this is the key to solving the mystery."

Just as they were thinking about how to get the crystal, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a huge python emerged from the ground.

The python opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Lin Xiao and Mo Yu.

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu once again fell into a life-and-death battle...
