Chapter 170 "The Great Adventure in the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's Life-and-Death
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were in the vast, uninhabited desert. The scorching sun was like countless sharp swords, piercing their skin mercilessly. Every grain of sand was like a burning spark, so hot that it was unbearable. The howling wind swept in, rolling up the dust all over the sky, forming huge yellow vortices that covered the sky and seemed to swallow up the whole world.
Lin Xiao moved her feet with difficulty, and each step was like sinking into a deep quagmire, extremely heavy. Her lips were as dry and cracked as the land after a long drought, oozing blood, and her face was covered with dirty marks of sweat and dust. "Mo Yu, what the hell is this place? How can we get out? I feel like I'm about to be roasted into jerky!" Lin Xiao panted and complained weakly, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.
Mo Yu squinted his eyes, trying to resist the invasion of the wind and sand, and carefully observed the surrounding environment. His brows were tightly knitted, and his face was so solemn that it seemed that water could drip out. "Xiao'er, don't panic, we will definitely find a way out." Although Mo Yu's voice was firm, it was difficult to hide his fatigue.
Suddenly, a low and terrifying roar came from afar, the sound was like thunder rolling in the depths of the desert, shaking the sand underfoot slightly. The sound kept echoing in the empty desert, making people shudder, as if it was a call from hell.
"This... what is this sound?" Lin Xiao's voice trembled violently, and his body leaned towards Mo Yu involuntarily. The fear in his eyes instantly magnified, and his hands tightly grasped the corner of Mo Yu's clothes.
Mo Yu looked solemn, and protected Lin Xiao behind him, "Not good, I'm afraid we're in big trouble."
Before he finished speaking, a huge monster as big as a mountain suddenly rushed out from the sand. The monster was covered with sharp thorns like knives, each of which flashed with cold light, making people shudder. Its eyes were like burning fireballs, spewing raging anger, and a pungent smell came out of its bloody mouth.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao was so scared that his face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Mo Yu quickly drew out his sword, which shone coldly in the sunlight. "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here!" His eyes were firm and fearless, and he exuded a resolute aura.
The monster opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and pounced towards them. Mo Yu dodged to the side, nimbly avoiding the monster's attack, and swung his sword at the monster.
"Look at me, beast!" Mo Yu roared loudly, his voice full of anger and fighting spirit.
Lin Xiao also suppressed her fear, formed seals with her hands, chanted something, and cast a spell to help Mo Yu. "Mo Yu, come on!" Her voice became sharp because of nervousness.
The monster was enraged by Mo Yu's attack and attacked even more frantically. Its claws were like sharp sickles, slashing cold rays through the air. Mo Yu dodged left and right, and started a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the monster.
"Oh, be careful behind you!" Lin Xiao reminded loudly.
Mo Yu reacted quickly and rolled over to avoid the monster's fatal blow.
After a fierce fight, the monster was wounded in many places, and its fur was stained red with blood. But it was still extremely ferocious and had no intention of retreating.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered that the monster's weakness was in its abdomen. "Mo Yu, attack its abdomen!"
When Mo Yu heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He leaped forward with all his might and stabbed towards the monster's belly.
The monster roared in pain, fell to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a group of mysterious figures suddenly appeared around them. These people were all wearing black robes and masks on their faces, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Who are you?" Lin Xiao asked vigilantly, his voice full of alertness.
The leader, a man in black, said coldly: "Hand over the treasures on you and I will spare your life."
Mo Yu glared at him, "Don't even think about it! We don't have any treasure at all!"
The man in black waved his hand, and his men drew their weapons and rushed towards Lin Xiao and Mo Yu.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were in trouble again. They stood back to back, vigilantly responding to the enemy's attacks.
"Mo Yu, we won't die here today, right?" Lin Xiao's voice was tinged with tears.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, I'm here and nothing will happen to you!" Mo Yu said loudly, waving the sword in his hand more fiercely.
Seeing that they could not defeat the enemy after a long attack, the man in black suddenly used a strange spell, and black rays of light attacked Lin Xiao and Mo Yu.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu blocked a ray of light with his body and was knocked back a few steps.
Lin Xiao was extremely anxious, "Mo Yu, how are you?"
Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, keep fighting!"
Just when they were struggling to hold on, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered the flaw of the man in black.
"Mo Yu, attack their left side!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
Mo Yu understood what he meant, and cooperated with Lin Xiao tacitly, launching a fierce attack towards the left side of the man in black.
The men in black were thrown into disarray, and Lin Xiao and Mo Yu took the opportunity to break through the encirclement.
"Run!" Mo Yu pulled Lin Xiao and ran towards the depths of the desert.
They ran for a long time until they were exhausted and stopped behind a sand dune.
"Huff...Finally got rid of them." Lin Xiao panted heavily.
Mo Yu observed the surroundings vigilantly, "We can't let our guard down yet, they might catch up with us."
At this moment, a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a mysterious voice sounded in their ears...
