Chapter 156 "The Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Castle Horror"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood close together in front of the castle that seemed to emerge from a nightmare, their hearts shrouded in a thick haze. The fog that filled the surroundings seemed to have life, slowly moving, locking their sight firmly.
Lin Xiao's body was trembling slightly. She widened her eyes and spoke with unconcealable fear: "Mo Yu, what the hell is this place? Why do I feel like there's something in the fog staring at us!" As she spoke, she unconsciously leaned closer to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu tightly grasped the sword in his hand, his eyes firm and alert, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, Lin Xiao, I'm here." But his brows were also tightly furrowed, and it was obvious that he was not sure about the situation at hand.
The two men stepped into the gate of the castle cautiously. With a creaky sound, the ancient door hinge made a creepy sound, as if protesting their intrusion.
As soon as he entered the door, a rotten smell hit him in the face. Lin Xiao couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose: "Oh my god, this smell is too strong!"
The hall was extremely dark, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the broken windows. The walls were covered with strange vines that looked like twisted snakes, making people shudder.
"Mo Yu, I... I'm scared." Lin Xiao's voice was trembling.
Mo Yu reached out and gently held Lin Xiao's hand: "Don't be afraid, let's be careful."
They walked forward step by step, and the stone slabs under their feet made a creaking sound, as if telling the ancient secrets of the castle.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew and instantly extinguished the weak torches in their hands.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright and threw herself into Mo Yu's arms.
Mo Yu quickly hugged her tightly and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a gust of wind."
But at this moment, a strange sound came from the darkness. Sometimes the sound sounded like someone crying, and sometimes it sounded like the howl of a wild beast, which was creepy.
"What...what on earth is this sound?" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with tears and his body was shaking like a sieve.
Mo Yu clenched the sword in his hand, "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing. Follow me closely."
They continued to grope forward and came to a spacious hall. There were all kinds of strange statues in the hall, some with hideous faces and some with distorted shapes, as if they were evil spirits from hell.
"Oh my God, these statues are too scary!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but say, not daring to look directly at the statues.
Mo Yu observed the statues carefully and suddenly found that the eyes of one of the statues seemed to move.
"Be careful!" As soon as he shouted, the statue came to life, opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards them.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu dodged quickly, and Mo Yu waved the sword in his hand and started a fierce fight with the monster.
"Watch me!" Lin Xiao got the courage from somewhere, picked up a wooden stick and smashed it at the monster.
With a "bang", the wooden stick hit the monster, but it seemed to cause no harm.
"Oh, this guy is too thick-skinned!" Lin Xiao complained.
While Mo Yu was dealing with the monster, he shouted, "Lin Xiao, be careful, don't get too close!"
After a hard fight, they finally found the monster's weakness and successfully defeated it.
"Huh, it's finally solved." Lin Xiao was so tired that he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
Mo Yu pulled her up and said, "Don't let your guard down. You don't know what dangers lie ahead."
Just then, a low laugh came from deep in the hall.
"Hahahaha..." The laughter echoed in the empty hall, making people feel creepy.
"Who? Who is there?" Lin Xiao shouted in horror.
Mo Yu clenched his sword and walked towards the direction where the laughter came from.
They walked into a dark corridor with strange lights flickering on the walls.
"What kind of place is this? It feels like walking into a haunted house." Lin Xiao followed Mo Yu closely, his voice trembling.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed over their heads.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed again.
Mo Yu looked up, but saw nothing.
"Don't be afraid, it might just be a bat." Mo Yu comforted.
They continued walking forward and came to the door of a room.
There was a pungent smell in the room and some strange objects were scattered on the floor.
"What are these?" Lin Xiao was curious and wanted to get closer to take a look.
Mo Yu quickly stopped her: "Don't move, be careful of danger."
At this moment, a cabinet in the room suddenly opened, and a dry hand stretched out from it...
