Chapter 167 "The Fantasy World: Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's Game of Life and Death"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood in front of the eerie castle. The night was like a huge black curtain covering the surroundings. The wind was howling like the devils from hell. Thick dark clouds piled up in the sky. From time to time, pale lightning flashed across, illuminating the outline of the castle in an instant, followed by deafening thunder, as if to tear the whole world apart.
Lin Xiao's face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, her eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, but she was still biting her lips stubbornly, refusing to let her fear show too much. "Mo Yu, this place is too weird, I feel like my heart is going to jump out."
Mo Yu held Lin Xiao's hand tightly, trying to give her some warmth and strength. "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er. No matter what, I will protect you."
They walked slowly into the castle with heavy steps. The ancient gate made a dull "creaking" sound, as if groaning in pain. A rotten smell came to their faces, choking Lin Xiao and making him cough.
"What the hell is this place?" Lin Xiao complained while looking around carefully.
In the hall, the torches on the walls flickered, casting distorted shadows. Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in the empty hall. The laugh seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, making people shudder.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were instantly horrified. They looked around in horror, trying to find the source of the laughter.
"Who? Who is playing tricks? Come out!" Mo Yu roared loudly, his voice full of anger and vigilance.
At this moment, a dark shadow flew past their heads like a ghost, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
Lin Xiao screamed in fright, "Ah!" Her face became even paler and her body involuntarily hid behind Mo Yu.
Mo Yu protected Lin Xiao behind him, his eyes like a sharp sword staring at the direction where the shadow disappeared. "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here, I won't let this thing hurt you."
They continued to move forward, each step full of caution. The ground was covered with dust and spider webs, and Lin Xiao accidentally stepped on a loose floor tile and almost fell.
"Oh, be careful!" Mo Yu hurriedly supported her.
Lin Xiao said with lingering fear: "This place is so scary, I really regret coming in."
Mo Yu comforted him: "Don't be afraid, we will find a way out soon."
They came to a room with a closed door covered with strange symbols and patterns.
Just as Mo Yu was about to push the door open, Lin Xiao stopped him. "Wait a minute, Mo Yu, I have a bad feeling there might be danger behind this door."
Mo Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "But we can't just linger here forever. We have to go in and take a look."
After saying that, he still pushed open the door. A pungent smell instantly rushed out, and the room was filled with thick smoke, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
"Be careful!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
Just then, a huge monster rushed out from the smoke, its eyes flashing a strange red light, and pounced on them with its fangs and claws bared.
Mo Yu quickly drew out his sword and rushed towards the monster. "Xiao'er, get away from here!"
Lin Xiao did not retreat. She formed seals with her hands, chanted something, and cast a spell. Rays of light shot out from her hands and hit the monster. "I won't hide, Mo Yu, let's deal with it together!"
Mo Yu's swordsmanship was sharp, and every move carried the power to break the wind, while Lin Xiao's magic light also continued to attack the monster.
"Watch my ultimate move!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, and the sword shone brightly.
"I'm coming too, take it!" Lin Xiao shouted, and the power of the spell became even stronger.
After a thrilling and fierce battle, they finally repelled the monster. However, before they could catch their breath, the ground in the room suddenly began to shake violently, and huge cracks appeared on the walls, as if the whole room was about to collapse.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Mo Yu shouted loudly.
Lin Xiao said anxiously: "What should we do? Mo Yu, we have to find a way out quickly!"
Just as they were looking for an exit, a mysterious voice sounded in their ears...
