Chapter 216: The Fantasy World: The Castle's Deadly Adventure
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood in front of the eerie castle, clinging to each other. In the night sky, the dark clouds seemed to swallow up the whole world. Lightning flashed through the clouds like silver snakes, followed by deafening thunder. The wind was howling, like countless invisible hands tearing their clothes and hair.
Lin Xiao's body was shaking constantly. She held onto Mo Yu's arms tightly with both hands, her voice trembling so much that she could barely form a sentence: "Mo Yu, this place... this place is so scary, I... I feel like my heart is going to jump out. Is this some kind of horror live broadcast?"
Mo Yu's face was solemn, but his eyes were full of determination and courage. He held Lin Xiao's hand tightly and comforted her: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here! Even if this is the set of a horror movie, we can fight our way out!"
The two walked into the castle carefully. A strong smell of decay hit them in the face, choking them and making them cough. The dim candlelight flickered in the wind, and the weak light seemed to be extinguished at any time. The shadows on the wall were like monsters with bared fangs and claws, which made people shudder.
"Tick-tick..." The sound of dripping water coming from somewhere seemed particularly clear in this silent castle, and every drop seemed to be knocking on their hearts.
Lin Xiao swallowed and said with chattering teeth: "Mo Yu, this voice... this voice gave me goose bumps. Could it be a countdown to a curse?"
Mo Yu frowned, looked around vigilantly, and said softly: "Xiao'er, don't think too much, it may just be a leak somewhere."
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, the candlelight was extinguished instantly, and the entire castle fell into suffocating darkness.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, and threw herself into Mo Yu's arms like a frightened little rabbit.
Mo Yu quickly hugged Lin Xiao tightly and said, "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I won't let anything hurt you!"
At this moment, a sinister laugh came from the darkness: "Hahaha, you actually dare to break in here, you are really seeking death!" The laughter echoed in the castle, as if coming from all directions.
Lin Xiao trembled and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Come out! Don't play tricks, show yourself if you dare!"
A black shadow slowly emerged from the darkness. Its face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes emitting a strange red light were revealed.
"I am the master here. If you break into my territory, don't even think about getting out alive!" the black shadow said coldly, his voice sounding like it came from hell.
Mo Yu drew his sword, the blade flashing coldly in the darkness. He shouted, "Stop trying to scare people here. If you have the guts, let's fight with real swords and guns!"
The shadow sneered and waved his sleeves, and a powerful force attacked them. This force was so cold that it instantly condensed the air around them.
Mo Yu and Lin Xiao dodged quickly, but were still knocked back a few steps by the force. Lin Xiao staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Xiao'er, be careful!" Mo Yu grabbed Lin Xiao and protected her behind him.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Yu, let's fight him! We can't just sit there and wait to die!"
Mo Yu nodded, his eyes full of determination: "Okay, Xiao'er, let's go together!"
The two of them joined hands to attack the black shadow. Mo Yu danced with his sword with great force, and Lin Xiao also used his own magic, and for a moment, there was a flash of light.
Just as they were fighting fiercely with the shadow, a strange sound suddenly came from the castle. It sounded like countless footsteps running, or like some huge object was moving.
"What the hell is this?" Lin Xiao asked distractedly while attacking the black shadow.
Mo Yu frowned: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good sign! Xiao'er, work harder!"
At this moment, the black shadow suddenly increased his strength, and a black light shot out from his hand and went straight towards Lin Xiao.
"Xiao'er, get out of the way!" Mo Yu flew towards Lin Xiao and blocked the light with his body.
"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, his eyes full of worry and heartache.
Mo Yu fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he still said firmly: "Xiao'er, don't worry about me, keep fighting!"
Lin Xiao held back tears as he cast a more powerful spell and attacked the black shadow...
