Chapter 209: Breaking out of a Fantasy World: Lin Xiaomoyu's Crazy Journey to Survive
The night was like thick ink, weighing heavily on the sky above the Fantasy World Continent, as if it was going to swallow the entire world into endless darkness. The strong wind was like a mad beast, howling and sweeping through every corner, making a creepy roar. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were trapped in this eerie castle, surrounded by a suffocating and strange atmosphere.
Lin Xiao tightly grasped the staff emitting a faint blue light in her hand, her eyes full of fear and vigilance. Her breathing was rapid and disordered, and every breath seemed to be a desperate struggle with fear. "Mo Yu, I feel like this place is like a ghost cave, I... I'm really scared." Her voice was trembling, with a crying tone, and her body couldn't help but move closer to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu held a long sword in his hand, and the blade flashed a cold light in the darkness. His expression was as solemn as iron, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes scanned the surrounding darkness as sharply as a sword. "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here, even if the King of Hell comes, he won't dare to touch you!" His voice was low and powerful, as if it was a vow from deep in his chest.
At this moment, bursts of eerie laughter echoed in the castle. The laughter was like the cries of ghosts, which made people's backs instantly cold.
"Hahaha, do you think you can escape from here? That's just a pipe dream!" A mysterious and hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, as if coming from the depths of hell.
Lin Xiao's heart tightened and she clenched her teeth, "Who are you? If you have the guts, stop hiding and come out to confront us head on!" She roared loudly, her voice full of anger and fearlessness.
Mo Yu snorted coldly, "What's the point of hiding in the dark and pretending to be a ghost? If you have the guts, come out and fight!"
Suddenly, strange green flames ignited on the surrounding walls. The flames danced like a devil, lighting up the entire hall in a gloomy and terrifying way. A figure slowly walked out of the darkness. The person was covered in a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light could be seen.
"Hmph, you ignorant ants, you dare to challenge my authority, you will die without a burial place!" The figure sneered, with endless contempt in his voice.
Lin Xiao glared at the figure, her eyes seemed to be spewing fire, "Stop talking nonsense there, and wait and see how I will deal with you!" As she said that, she waved her staff, and a blue light shot towards the figure like lightning.
Mo Yu was not to be outdone. He flashed like a gust of wind and stabbed the opponent's vital points with his sword.
However, the figure just waved his sleeves lightly and easily resolved their attacks. The powerful force rebounded and made Lin Xiao and Mo Yu retreat repeatedly, almost falling to the ground.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and worry.
"What kind of monster is this? How can it be so powerful?" Lin Xiao bit his lips, his face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Mo Yu took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "No matter what, we must rush out and can't just sit there and wait to die!"
At this moment the castle began to shake violently, as if there had been a terrible earthquake. Huge blocks of stone fell from the ceiling, and deep cracks appeared in the walls.
"Oh no! This castle is going to collapse!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, his voice filled with fear.
Mo Yu took Lin Xiao's hand and said, "Come with me, don't panic!"
They ran desperately in the dark, and stones kept falling behind them, making dull thuds.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao staggered and almost fell.
Mo Yu hurriedly supported her, "Be careful, Xiao'er!"
Finally, they came to an exit, but the exit was blocked by a powerful magic barrier. The barrier flashed with mysterious runes and exuded a powerful force that was daunting.
"What should we do? Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao asked anxiously, with a hint of despair in his voice.
Mo Yu's eyes were determined, "I'll try to break it!"
He gathered all his strength and raised the sword above his head, and the sword emitted a dazzling light.
"Break it for me!" Mo Yu roared loudly and slashed hard at the magic barrier.
However, the magic barrier only trembled slightly and easily resolved Mo Yu's attack.
Lin Xiao was extremely anxious. "What should we do? Are we really going to be trapped here?"
Mo Yu panted, "Don't worry, there must be a way."
Just when they were at a loss, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a flaw in the magic barrier.
"Mo Yu, look there!" Lin Xiao shouted, pointing at a part of the magic barrier.
Mo Yu looked in the direction of her finger, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao'er, step back, I'll try again!" Mo Yu raised his sword again and attacked the flaw.
This time, a crack finally appeared in the magic barrier.
"It works, keep going!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly.
Mo Yu gritted his teeth and continued to attack, and the cracks in the magic barrier became bigger and bigger.
Just when the magic barrier was about to break, the mysterious figure appeared again.
"Want to escape? Not that easy!" The mysterious figure waved his hand, and a powerful force attacked Lin Xiao and Mo Yu.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu had no time to dodge and were hit by the force, falling heavily to the ground.
"Puff!" Lin Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and his face became even paler.
Mo Yu struggled to stand up, "Even if we die, we will not surrender!"
The mysterious figure sneered, "Then you can die!"
At this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Lin Xiao's body...
