Chapter 176 "The Terror in the Ancient Castle: Lin Xiaomoyu's Adventure of Life and Death&
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were trapped in this eerie castle. The fog surrounding them seemed to have life, constantly twisting and entangled, making people feel as if they were in a horrible nightmare.
Lin Xiao tightly grasped the trembling dagger in her hand. Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Dense beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead, passing over her cheeks that were slightly pale due to fear. "Mo Yu, this place is too weird, how can we get out?" Her voice was shaking uncontrollably, and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.
Mo Yu's eyes were firm and steady. He looked around the unknown and dangerous environment vigilantly while comforting Lin Xiao. "Xiao'er, don't be afraid. I will find a way out." Although his voice was firm, his hand holding the sword turned pale due to nervousness.
Suddenly, a strange sound of wind whistled in, and the sound was like countless wronged souls wailing miserably, which made people shudder. "Hahahaha..." Along with the sound of the wind, a gloomy laugh echoed in the castle, and the laugh seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, which made people shudder.
Lin Xiao was so frightened that she trembled all over and almost dropped the dagger in her hand. "What the hell is that sound?" Her voice changed and her legs began to weaken.
Mo Yu quickly protected Lin Xiao behind him, his muscles tensed, like a cheetah ready to pounce on the enemy at any time. "Be careful!" he shouted.
They moved forward cautiously. The torches on the wall flickered, casting shadows like monsters with bared fangs and claws. Lin Xiao's breathing became rapid and disordered, and every step he took felt like he was dancing with death.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao accidentally tripped over a protruding stone on the ground, and fell forward and heavily to the ground.
Mo Yu was quick to support her. "Xiao'er, are you okay?" His voice was full of concern and anxiety.
Lin Xiao bit her lip and stood up despite the pain. "I'm fine, let's keep going."
At this moment, a black shadow flashed past their eyes like a ghost, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
"Who?" Mo Yu shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the empty castle.
Lin Xiao nervously grabbed Mo Yu's arm, his nails almost digging into his flesh. "Mo Yu, I'm so scared."
Mo Yu sensed her fear and patted her hands gently. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
They continued to move forward, each step filled with fear and uncertainty. Finally, they came to a room filled with a pungent stench of decay. In the center of the room stood a huge coffin, with strange symbols and patterns carved on its surface, which made people shudder.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and took a few steps back involuntarily. "What...what is this?" Her voice was shaking violently.
Mo Yu frowned, walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the coffin lid.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but scream when he saw the scene in the coffin. In the coffin lay a corpse with a twisted face and a rotten body. The corpse's eyes were still open, as if staring at them intently.
Mo Yu's expression also turned very ugly, but he still pretended to be calm. "Don't panic, this might be a trap."
At this moment, the door of the room suddenly slammed shut, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
"Not good!" Mo Yu's heart sank.
Lin Xiao's voice was tearful, almost begging. "Mo Yu, are we unable to get out? I don't want to die here."
Mo Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "No, Xiao'er, there must be a way."
Just when they were at a loss, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a mechanism on the wall. The mechanism was hidden in the darkness, looming.
"Mo Yu, look, there seems to be a mechanism there!" There was a hint of surprise in Lin Xiao's voice.
Mo Yu looked in the direction of her finger, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. "Maybe this is the key to our escape."
However, when they approached the mechanism, they found that it was surrounded by sharp spikes.
"What should I do?" Lin Xiao frowned tightly.
Mo Yu thought for a moment and said, "Xiao'er, stand further away. Let me try."
He reached out his hand carefully, trying to avoid the spikes, and pressed the mechanism.
Just as he was about to touch the mechanism, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the room.
"Oh no!" Mo Yu's face changed drastically.
At this moment, the corpse in the coffin suddenly moved and rushed towards them...
