Chapter 177 "Desperate Situation: Lin Xiaomoyu's Counterattack on Life and Death"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were trapped in a deep and mysterious valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, as if it was a corner abandoned by the heavens. The valley was filled with thick fog, which was entangled in strands, making people feel as if they were in a dreamlike but dangerous space.
Lin Xiao's brows were tightly twisted into a "川" shape, her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness, "Mo Yu, what the hell is this place? How can we get out?" She spoke hurriedly, while irritably using her hands to push away the thick fog in front of her eyes, and her steps seemed a little staggering because of her inner panic.
Mo Yu's eyes were firm and steady. He looked around calmly, not missing any possible clues. "Xiao'er, don't panic. There will always be a way." His voice was steady and powerful, as if it injected a shot of cardiotonic into the panicked Lin Xiao.
At this moment, the originally gloomy sky suddenly seemed to be completely covered by a huge black curtain, and it suddenly became dark as if the end of the world had come. A gust of wind swept in with a howling sound, and the sound of the wind was like the roar of an evil spirit, sharp and shrill.
"Oh, why is the wind so strong!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but scream. Her hair was blown all over the place by the strong wind, like a mess of black seaweed. She hugged her body tightly with both hands, trying to resist the invasion of the strong wind.
Mo Yu quickly reached out and pulled Lin Xiao tightly to his side. "Be careful!" he shouted loudly, his eyes full of concern and tension.
After the strong wind, a low and terrifying roar came from the distance. The sound seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, carrying endless anger and oppression. It echoed in the valley and made people's eardrums buzz.
Lin Xiao was so frightened that her whole body trembled and her face turned pale in an instant, "What's that sound? Could it be a scary monster?" Her voice trembled, and her hands involuntarily grasped Mo Yu's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
Mo Yu comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Although his voice was calm, his hand that was gripping the hilt of the sword was sweating slightly because of nervousness.
As the roar got closer, the ground began to shake violently, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards them.
"What the hell is this thing?" Lin Xiao's voice was already tearful, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Mo Yu took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely determined, "No matter what it is, I will deal with it." As he said that, he raised the sword in his hand and strode towards the direction where the sound came from.
A monster as big as a mountain slowly emerged from the mist, its body so huge that it almost occupied the entire valley floor. Its eyes were like two burning red flames, and its fangs were as sharp as spears, flashing a chilling light.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and was stunned. "Oh my God!" she muttered to herself, her mind going blank.
Mo Yu rushed forward without hesitation and started a thrilling fight with the monster. His figure seemed so small in front of the monster, but his swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every move was full of determination to die.
"Mo Yu, be careful!" Lin Xiao shouted nervously, his heart in his throat.
Mo Yu was as agile as lightning. He dodged the monster's attacks and found the right opportunity to launch a counterattack. However, the monster was also extremely ferocious. Each of its attacks was powerful enough to make Mo Yu unable to resist.
Suddenly, the monster pounced and slapped Mo Yu with its huge claws. Mo Yu was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the blow.
"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao was extremely anxious and tears welled up in his eyes.
At this critical moment, an idea flashed through Lin Xiao's mind. She remembered that she had read about the monster's weaknesses in an ancient medical book.
"I will definitely find a way, I will!" She encouraged herself in her heart while frantically searching around for herbs that might be useful.
"Finally found it!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly, holding tightly in her hand a herb that exuded a strange fragrance.
She rushed towards the monster without hesitation, "Beast, look here!" she shouted.
The monster was attracted by Lin Xiao's voice and turned around. Lin Xiao took the opportunity to throw the herbs hard into the monster's eyes.
The monster was stimulated by the herbs and let out a painful roar, and its howl echoed throughout the valley.
Mo Yu took the opportunity to jump up from the ground, the sword in his hand flashing with cold light, and stabbed fiercely at the monster's vital parts.
After a violent struggle, the monster fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, their clothes soaked with sweat.
"We finally defeated it." Lin Xiao showed a relieved smile, his eyes flashing with the joy of surviving the disaster.
Mo Yu looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes full of admiration and tenderness, "Xiao'er, you are so smart."
However, before they could fully enjoy this moment of peace, a series of strange changes began to occur at the bottom of the valley. Cracks suddenly began to appear on the originally peaceful ground, and wisps of black smoke emerged from the cracks, emitting a pungent smell.
"What's going on here?" Lin Xiao's smile froze instantly, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart again.
Mo Yu stood up and looked around vigilantly, "Xiao'er, be careful, there may be greater dangers waiting for us."
At this moment, a sinister laugh came from the crack, "Hahahaha, do you think you can leave here after defeating that monster? You are too naive!"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and vigilance.
"Who is it? Come out!" Mo Yu shouted loudly.
As the laughter disappeared, a group of dark shadows slowly rose from the cracks. Their figures were blurry and emitted a strange aura.
"This...what on earth is this thing?" Lin Xiao's voice trembled again.
Mo Yu clenched the sword in his hand, "No matter what it is, we can't retreat!"
A new battle is about to begin...
