Chapter 185 "The Fantasy World: The Desperate Choice: Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's Journey Against
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side on the top of the mountain that towered into the clouds. The wind was like a mad beast, roaring wantonly and tearing their clothes desperately. Lin Xiao's hair was flying wildly in the wind, and her eyes were almost unable to open due to the wind, but she still stared stubbornly at the mysterious palace looming in the distance, her eyes full of entanglement and confusion.
"Mo Yu, are we really going there? It feels like we are playing a super scary survival game along the way, with unknown traps and dangers everywhere." Lin Xiao's voice trembled in the strong wind. Her hands were tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and her fingers turned white from excessive force.
Mo Yu held her hand, his eyes as firm as a burning flame. "Xiao'er, don't be afraid. This may be our only chance to solve all the mysteries. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will protect you." His voice was steady and powerful, as if it injected Lin Xiao with a shot of cardiotonic.
Suddenly, a blinding strange light flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening low thunder. The thunder seemed to tear the entire sky apart. Lin Xiao was so scared that he trembled all over and leaned towards Mo Yu involuntarily. "Oh my, what kind of weather is this? How can it change so suddenly? This is too outrageous. It's even more exaggerated than the special effects in TV dramas!"
Mo Yu looked up at the sky, frowning, his expression becoming more serious. "Xiao'er, the situation is not good. We have to speed up, otherwise we don't know what more terrible things will be waiting for us." As he said, he took Lin Xiao's hand and walked quickly towards the mountain road.
They trudged forward along the steep, almost vertical mountain road. The rocks under their feet kept rolling down, making a frightening sound. Lin Xiao's heartbeat was like a rapid drumbeat, and he took every step carefully.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao suddenly stumbled, lost her balance, and leaned towards the edge of the cliff. Mo Yu was quick to grab her and pull her back to his side. "Be careful!" His voice was full of tension and concern.
Lin Xiao was breathing heavily, his face as pale as paper. "This road is too difficult to walk on. I feel like my legs are going to break. This is simply challenging the limits of human beings!"
At this moment, a mysterious figure appeared in front of them like a ghost. The man was wearing a black robe and a strange mask on his face, so his face could not be seen clearly. He exuded a creepy aura.
"You shouldn't come here." The mysterious man's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld, making people shudder.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened, filled with fear and anger. "Who are you? Why are you trying to stop us? We haven't offended you, don't play tricks here!"
The mysterious man sneered, and the laughter echoed in the valley, making people's scalps numb. "Humph, this is not a place you can set foot in. Leave quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Mo Yu took a step forward, protecting Lin Xiao behind him, his eyes were sharp. "We will not back down, we must find out the truth today. No matter who you are, don't try to stop us!"
The mysterious man waved his sleeves, and a force as strong as a hurricane came towards them. Mo Yu was not afraid, and stepped forward to start a fierce contest with the mysterious man. His moves were fierce, and every move was full of resolute momentum.
Lin Xiao watched anxiously from the side, his heart in his throat. "Mo Yu, be careful! Come on, defeat this weird guy!"
After a hard fight, Mo Yu gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, the mysterious man suddenly turned around and disappeared into the clouds, leaving only a sinister laugh.
"Don't run!" Mo Yu wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin Xiao.
"Mo Yu, stop chasing us. Let's go to the palace first. Maybe we can find the answers we want there." Lin Xiao said.
Mo Yu nodded, and the two continued to move towards the palace. However, when they arrived at the palace gate, they found that the gate was closed and engraved with strange and complex runes. Those runes flashed with strange light, as if telling some secrets.
"What should I do? This rune looks so complicated, and it feels like a combination lock." Lin Xiao paced anxiously in front of the door.
Mo Yu pondered for a moment, then walked forward and carefully observed the runes. "I'll try to see if I can decipher these runes."
Just as Mo Yu was concentrating on studying the runes, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a strange breath coming from behind her. She turned her head, but found that there was no one behind her.
"Mo Yu, I feel something is wrong, as if something is staring at us." Lin Xiao's voice trembled slightly.
Mo Yu frowned, "Xiao'er, don't panic, maybe we are too nervous."
At this moment, a sinister laughter sounded again. It seemed to be right next to their ears, but they could not find its source.
Lin Xiao was so scared that he hugged Mo Yu's arm tightly, "What on earth is going on? I'm really scared."
Mo Yu comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Suddenly, the surrounding fog became thicker, and a dark shadow slowly walked out of the fog...
