Chapter 178 "The Fantasy World: Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's Battle to Break the Game"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side in front of the ancient and mysterious castle. The castle towered into the sky, like a sleeping giant. The walls were covered with dark green vines, like the tentacles of a demon, stretching wantonly. The door was closed, as if rejecting everything from the outside world, exuding a creepy and oppressive atmosphere.
Lin Xiao's brows were tightly twisted into knots, her eyes were wide open, revealing a hint of uneasiness and stubbornness, "Mo Yu, this place looks very weird, should we really go in? Why do I feel like I can't get out once I go in!" As she spoke, she rubbed her hands unconsciously and rubbed her feet back and forth on the ground.
Mo Yu's face was solemn. He tightly grasped the sword in his hand, which was shining with cold light. The sword reflected the cold light in the sun. "Xiao'er, in order to find the truth, we have no choice. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we have to give it a try!" His voice was firm and powerful, and his eyes were full of determination.
They approached the door cautiously, each step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight. Lin Xiao's heartbeat became more and more rapid, "Can this broken door be pushed open? Is there any trap? I don't want to be trapped as soon as I enter!" Her voice trembled slightly because of nervousness, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Mo Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and pushed the door hard, but the door did not move at all, as if mocking their arrogance.
At this moment, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, instantly illuminating the whole world as bright as day. Then there was a dull thunder, like the roar of a war drum, which shook people to their core.
"Oh my God, what's going on? God isn't helping us!" Lin Xiao was so scared that he trembled and quickly hid behind Mo Yu.
Mo Yu reached out his hand, gently patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, it's just the weather change, I'm here!"
Suddenly, the tightly closed castle gate slowly opened, and a strong airflow rushed out like a gale, bringing with it a foul smell, almost knocking them to the ground.
Lin Xiao managed to steady himself with great difficulty, muttering, "This is too fierce! It feels like it's going to eat us alive!"
They endured the pungent smell and walked into the castle carefully. It was dark and damp inside, and water drops dripped down the wall, as if counting down time. The air was filled with a strong stench that made people's stomachs churn.
"Cough cough, this smell is unbearable, it's worse than my unwashed stinky socks!" Lin Xiao covered his mouth and nose with his hands, his brows were furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death.
Mo Yu observed the surroundings vigilantly and said, "Be careful, there may be danger. This place exudes an evil aura!"
At this moment, an eerie laughter came from the darkness, "Hahahaha..." The laughter echoed in the empty castle, as if it was a mockery from hell.
Lin Xiao was instantly horrified, her hair standing on end, "Who? Who's there? Come out here if you dare, stop playing tricks on me!"
Mo Yu protected Lin Xiao tightly behind him and shouted, "Come out! Don't hide! If you have the guts, come out openly!"
A dark shadow slowly walked out of the darkness. The face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light could be seen.
"You shouldn't come here." The shadow's voice was low and strange, as if it carried a thousand years of frost.
Lin Xiao angrily said, "Why can't you come? Is this place owned by your family? Explain yourself clearly if you have the guts!"
The black shadow sneered, "This is your burial place. Once you come here, don't even think about leaving alive!"
After that, the black shadow flashed and pounced on them like a ghost. Mo Yu reacted quickly, drew his sword to meet the enemy, and started a fierce fight with the black shadow.
Lin Xiao watched anxiously from the side, his hands clenched into fists, "Mo Yu, be careful! Don't get hurt!"
Mo Yu's swordsmanship was fierce, and every move was full of determination to kill. However, the black shadow was also extremely agile, always able to avoid Mo Yu's attacks at critical moments.
During the fight, Mo Yu gradually gained the upper hand, and his sword stabbed towards the black shadow like a storm.
Just when they thought they were about to win, countless torches suddenly lit up in the castle, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day. A group of mysterious people appeared around them and surrounded them.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened, his face filled with fear, "What...what should we do? We're trapped!"
Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao'er, fight them! At worst, you can be a brave man again in eighteen years!"
However, the strength of these mysterious people was far beyond their imagination. They were all dressed in black robes and had masks on their faces, so their faces could not be seen clearly. But from the aura emanating from them, it could be felt that they were definitely not ordinary people.
One of the mysterious men said coldly: "You are courting death, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Lin Xiao glared at him, "Humph! Who's afraid of who? Come at me if you're brave enough!"
As she spoke, she drew a dagger from her waist and prepared to fight with Mo Yu.
Mo Yu and Lin Xiao stood back to back, facing enemies all around them, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
At this moment, Mo Yu suddenly discovered a flaw, "Xiao'er, follow me!"
They rushed towards the flaw and fought a desperate battle with the mysterious man.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the shouts of killing were deafening. Lin Xiao's clothes were torn in several places, and her face was covered in blood, but her eyes remained firm.
Mo Yu also suffered many injuries on his body, but he still waved his sword without retreating.
Just as they were gradually running out of energy, a strange sound suddenly came from the castle...
