Chapter 227: Escape from the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao and Mo Yu's Dark Journey
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood in front of the gate of the ancient mysterious castle. The night was like a thick black veil, tightly wrapping the whole world. The moonlight struggled to penetrate the clouds, casting a faint and cold light, making the outline of the castle looming in the darkness.
Lin Xiao's brows were knitted tightly together, and her eyes were full of anxiety and fear. She bit her lips unconsciously and said in a trembling voice: "Mo Yu, my heart is beating like a rabbit in my chest. This castle looks weird, should we really go in?"
Mo Yu tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and his knuckles turned pale due to the force. He looked at the castle with a firm gaze, and said in a calm but determined tone: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid. Even if it is a dangerous place, we have to go through it."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, nodded, and followed Mo Yu to slowly push open the heavy door. With a creepy groan of "creaking", a pungent smell of decay surged out like a tide.
"Oh my god, what's that smell?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with his hands, and his brows frowned even more tightly.
Walking into the castle hall, the dark and damp environment makes people feel like they are in hell. The flickering candlelight casts distorted shadows on the walls, like a group of demons with bared fangs and claws.
"This place is too weird, Mo Yu. I feel like I'm getting closer to death with every step I take." Lin Xiao's voice was obviously trembling.
"Be careful, Xiao'er." Mo Yu whispered, keeping the sword in his hand in a vigilant posture at all times.
At this moment, a huge bat suddenly swooped out from the darkness, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright and almost collapsed to the ground.
Mo Yu reacted quickly, swung the sword in his hand, a cold light flashed, and the bat screamed and dodged.
"Damn thing, how dare you attack me by surprise!" Mo Yu cursed, his eyes fixed on the bat's movements.
The two continued to walk in cautiously, and suddenly, a sinister laughter echoed in the empty hall.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Lin Xiao's body froze instantly, his face pale: "Who? Who is laughing?"
At this time, a dark shadow slowly floated down from the beam. It turned out to be a mysterious man in a black robe. The face of the mysterious man was covered by the shadow, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the eyes exposed outside were flashing with a strange light.
"How dare you, you ignorant fellows, break in here?" The mysterious man's voice seemed to come from the abyss of Hell, revealing endless chill.
Lin Xiao suppressed his fear, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Humph, stop playing tricks here, show your true colors if you have the guts!"
The mysterious man sneered and waved his hands violently. In an instant, countless skeletons emerged from the ground. These skeletons emitted a faint blue light, and strange flames flickered in their empty eye sockets.
"Oh no, Xiao'er, follow me closely!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, waving his sword and rushing towards the group of skeletons.
Lin Xiao followed Mo Yu closely, with a dagger in his hand and a look of determination in his eyes.
"Mo Yu, I won't hold you back!" Lin Xiao shouted.
Mo Yu's sword shuttled through the group of skeletons like lightning, and every swing was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind.
"Look at me, I'm going to break all of you skeletons into pieces!" Mo Yu shouted loudly.
Lin Xiao was not to be outdone, and the dagger in his hand accurately stabbed at the joints of the skull.
"Go to hell!" Lin Xiao shouted.
However, the number of skeletons increased, seemingly endless. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu gradually felt exhausted.
"Mo Yu, I can't hold on any longer!" Lin Xiao's forehead was covered with sweat and his breathing became rapid.
While Mo Yu was fighting hard, he encouraged loudly: "Xiao'er, hold on! We will definitely get out!"
Just when they were about to despair, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered the mysterious man's flaw. The corner of the mysterious man's clothes inadvertently revealed a jade pendant that was shining with a strange light.
"Mo Yu, look at that jade pendant, it might be the key!" Lin Xiao shouted.
Mo Yu understood what he meant and rushed towards the mysterious man...
