Chapter 161: The Terror in the Fantasy Castle: Lin Xiao's Desperate Breakout
Lin Xiao was trapped in the eerie castle that seemed to have been cursed for a thousand years, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The thick fog that could not be melted around him was like a series of hideous ghost faces, constantly changing shapes, making people shudder. The moonlight struggled to penetrate the old and mottled windows, and sprinkled on the dusty and cobweb-covered ground, forming a series of distorted shadows like ghosts.
Lin Xiao's heart was beating so fast that it seemed to burst through her chest. She moved forward tremblingly, and every step was like stepping on a landmine that could explode at any time.
"What the hell is this place? Why am I so unlucky to be trapped here for no apparent reason!" Lin Xiao's teeth were chattering, his voice filled with unconcealable fear and helplessness.
Suddenly, an extremely cold wind blew past, making her hair fly wildly, and the chill instantly penetrated her bones.
"Wuwuwu..." A woman's shrill cry rang faintly in her ears. The cry seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, carrying endless sorrow and pain. Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, her eyes wide open, full of fear.
"Who? Who's there? Stop playing tricks and come out!" Lin Xiao yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice trembling uncontrollably and his body unconsciously stepping back.
At this moment, a hand as cold as ice gently rested on her shoulder. Lin Xiao instantly felt her blood freeze, and she screamed in fear, the sound piercing the silent night sky.
"Don't be afraid, little girl." A gloomy voice sounded quietly in her ears, as if it was a call from hell.
Lin Xiao turned around tremblingly and saw a woman with a face as pale as paper. There was a strange light in her eyes, as if it could suck people's souls in.
"You... who are you?" Lin Xiao asked stutteringly, his voice full of fear.
"I am the owner of this castle." The woman's voice seemed to carry a chill that made people shudder.
Lin Xiao suppressed his fear, tried to calm himself down, and said, "Why did you trap me here? I have no grudge against you!"
The woman sneered, and her laughter sounded like the cry of a night owl: "Humph, because you broke into a place you shouldn't be in, this is your fate!"
At this moment, Mo Yu's powerful and warm voice came from a distance: "Lin Xiao, I'm here to save you!"
A glimmer of hope suddenly surged in Lin Xiao's heart, and she responded loudly: "Mo Yu, I'm here, come and save me!"
Mo Yu broke through the fog and appeared in front of Lin Xiao like a ray of dawn. His eyes were firm and brave, and he held Lin Xiao's hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Mo Yu's voice was gentle and firm, giving Lin Xiao great courage.
However, the owner of the castle suddenly launched an attack, and a powerful and dark force rushed towards them like a surging tide.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu shouted, protecting Lin Xiao behind him, while quickly forming seals with his hands and casting a protective spell.
"Huh, you guys think you can resist?" The castle owner sneered. Her voice was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to pierce one's eardrums.
Mo Yu and Lin Xiao did not back down. They used all their skills and launched a fierce battle with the owner of the castle.
Lin Xiao's eyes were full of determination: "I won't be defeated by you easily!" As she spoke, she waved the magic weapon in her hand, releasing rays of light.
Mo Yu was not to be outdone, his moves were fierce, and each strike contained great power.
"Take it!" Mo Yu roared and rushed towards the owner of the castle.
The battle became more and more intense, and Lin Xiao and Mo Yu gradually fell into trouble. Their physical strength was rapidly depleted, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
"We can't go on like this, we have to find her weakness!" Lin Xiao said, panting.
Mo Yu nodded, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes: "I will attract her attention, you take the opportunity to observe."
After saying that, Mo Yu rushed towards the owner of the castle again and launched a more fierce attack.
Lin Xiao carefully observed the actions of the castle owner, trying to find any flaws.
Suddenly, she noticed a subtle movement of the castle owner, as if he was deliberately protecting a certain part.
"Mo Yu, attack her left rib!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu changed the direction of his attack without hesitation and attacked the left rib of the castle owner.
The owner of the castle was startled, but it was too late to dodge.
"Ah!" With a scream, the power of the castle owner instantly weakened.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu took the opportunity to launch a final attack and finally defeated the owner of the castle.
"Great, we succeeded!" Lin Xiao jumped up excitedly.
Mo Yu also showed a relieved smile: "Yes, we finally escaped."
However, just when they thought everything was over, a low roar suddenly came from the castle...
