Chapter 252: Lin Xiao's Counterattack
Lin Xiao was walking alone in the dark and gloomy forest. The moonlight was like a veil, shining through the dense leaves and falling on her body, forming strange light and shadows. Her steps were heavy and slow, and every step she took seemed to exhaust all her strength.
"What the hell is this place!" Lin Xiao panted and cursed in a low voice. Her face was covered with sweat and dust, her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, and her eyes revealed deep fear and exhaustion.
The trees around her were tall and ancient, like silent giants, watching her every move indifferently. When the wind blew, the leaves rustled, as if whispering unknown secrets.
Suddenly, a black crow flew over her head, making a shrill cry.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear, her body shaking involuntarily. She covered her ears tightly with both hands, and her face turned pale instantly.
"This crappy place is really driving me crazy!" Lin Xiao gasped for breath, trying to calm himself down.
She continued to walk forward. The road under her feet was bumpy and full of thorns and rocks. Lin Xiao carefully avoided the sharp thorns, but her trouser legs were still accidentally cut, leaving blood marks on her calves.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao frowned in pain and couldn't help but scream out.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past, and Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver. She felt the temperature around her drop suddenly, as if she was in an ice cellar.
"Is there anything dirty?" Lin Xiao thought to himself, becoming more and more nervous.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the distance, and the sound echoed in the silent forest, making people feel creepy.
"What's that sound?" Lin Xiao stopped and listened nervously.
As the sound got closer, Lin Xiao's heartbeat quickened, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
"Oh my god, it can't be a monster!" Lin Xiao was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs began to go weak.
At this moment, a huge monster came out of the woods. The monster was as big as a mountain, its fur was shining with a strange light, its eyes were ferocious, and it was spewing a pungent hot air from its mouth.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear and turned and ran.
She ran desperately, with only the whistling wind and her own rapid breathing in her ears. Branches and thorns kept whipping her face and body, but she no longer cared about the pain.
"Help! Someone save me!" Lin Xiao ran while shouting for help, his voice echoing in the forest.
However, the only responses she got were her own echo and the sound of the monster's footsteps getting closer and closer.
Lin Xiao's strength gradually declined and her steps began to become unsteady.
"No, I can't let it catch up like this!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and tried to speed up.
Just when she thought she was about to be caught up by the monster, she suddenly discovered a cave.
Lin Xiao rushed into the cave without hesitation and hid behind a big rock, not daring to breathe.
The monster wandered outside the cave for a while, making low roars from time to time.
"Don't come in, don't come in!" Lin Xiao prayed silently in his heart, holding the stone tightly with both hands, his body shaking constantly.
After a while, the monster seemed to lose interest and left.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
"What sin have I committed!" Lin Xiao gasped for breath, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Just as she was about to rest for a while, a faint light came from deep in the cave.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao stood up curiously and walked towards the direction of the light.
The further inside, the brighter the light becomes.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao saw a huge sarcophagus, and light was emanating from the sarcophagus.
"This...what is this thing?" Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated again, and she hesitated whether to approach the sarcophagus.
At this moment, the sarcophagus suddenly shook violently.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao stepped back in fear.
The lid of the sarcophagus slowly opened, and a powerful force surged out from inside.
"What on earth is going on?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, his face full of horror.
