Chapter 255: Lin Xiao's Crazy Journey of Survival
Lin Xiao was alone in the eerie dark forest. The trees around him were like huge black shadows, towering into the sky. Their branches and leaves intertwined like a huge black spider web, ruthlessly blocking the moonlight outside. Lin Xiao's breathing was rapid and heavy, and every breath seemed to condense into frost in the silent air.
"What the hell is this place?" Lin Xiao muttered to herself as she moved cautiously. Her voice was trembling, and she seemed particularly small and helpless in the darkness.
Lin Xiao's clothes were already tattered by branches and thorns, revealing shocking bloodstains. Her hair was scattered on her shoulders, her face was covered with dirt and sweat, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if it was the whisper of the devil. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver and hugged his shivering body.
"Wuwuwu..." The faint crying sound in the wind came again, this time clearer and more creepy.
"Who? Who is crying there? Come out if you dare!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, her voice full of anger and fear. However, the only answer she got was the eerie sound of the wind and her own trembling voice.
Lin Xiao's heartbeat was like a rapid drumbeat, beating wildly in her chest. Her feet seemed to be dragged down by lead blocks, and every step she took seemed extremely difficult.
Suddenly, a huge bat whizzed past her head, bringing with it a gust of cold wind. Lin Xiao screamed in fear and collapsed to the ground.
"Ah!" She covered her head with her hands and her body kept shaking.
When she finally came to her senses from her panic, she found that she had completely lost her way.
"It's over, it's over, it's really over now!" Lin Xiao muttered to himself in despair, tears welling up in his eyes.
At this moment, a low and fierce roar came from the distance, as if the devil from hell was roaring.
"Could it be some scary monster?" Lin Xiao's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his legs began to weaken involuntarily.
She wanted to run, but fear was like a pair of invisible hands that tightly grasped her feet and made her unable to move at all.
"Calm down, Lin Xiao, you must calm down!" She desperately encouraged herself in her heart, trying to overcome her inner fear.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to slowly walk towards the direction of the roar. With every step she took, her heartbeat quickened, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
The closer he got, the clearer the sound became, and the more frightening it became. Lin Xiao clenched his hands into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
Finally, she saw the huge figure.
It was a huge beast as big as a mountain, its fur flashing with strange blue light, as if it was flowing with electricity. Its eyes were like burning fireballs, revealing endless cruelty and brutality.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but scream again and turned around and ran.
She ran desperately in the forest like a frightened rabbit, with only the whistling wind, her own rapid breathing, and the heavy footsteps of the giant beast in her ears, like a countdown to death.
The branches and thorns lashed at her face and body mercilessly, leaving deep cuts, and her clothes were instantly stained red with blood. But Lin Xiao was no longer able to care about the pain, and had only one thought in her mind: Run! Run! Run!
"Help! Someone save me!" Lin Xiao ran while shouting for help at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoed in the forest, but it seemed so small and powerless.
However, all she got in response was endless darkness and the echo of her own despair.
Lin Xiao's strength gradually declined, her steps began to become unsteady, and her breathing became more rapid.
"No, I can't fall down like this, I must survive!" Lin Xiao shouted in his heart, relying on his tenacious will, trying to speed up himself.
Just when she thought she was about to be caught up by the giant beast, she suddenly discovered a cave hidden in the darkness.
Lin Xiao rushed into the cave without hesitation and quickly hid behind a huge rock. Her heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
The beast wandered outside the cave for a while, roaring from time to time. Every roar made Lin Xiao's body tremble, as if the whole cave was shaking.
"Don't come in, don't come in!" Lin Xiao prayed silently in his heart, holding the stone tightly with both hands, staring at the entrance of the cave, not daring to breathe.
Time seemed to stand still, and every second seemed so long.
Finally, the beast seemed to lose interest and the footsteps faded away.
Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"What sin have I committed!" Lin Xiao couldn't help crying, tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the cold ground.
Just as she was about to take a short break, a faint light suddenly came from deep in the cave.
"What is this? Is there any other danger?" Fear surged in Lin Xiao's heart again, but strong curiosity drove her to stand up and walk cautiously 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 on earth is this thing?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, his face full of fear and confusion.
The sarcophagus is engraved with strange runes and patterns, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Lin Xiao hesitated whether to approach the sarcophagus, his heart full of conflict and fear.
At this moment, the sarcophagus suddenly shook violently, as if something was about to rush out of it.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao was so scared that he stepped back and sat down on the ground.
The lid of the sarcophagus slowly opened, and a powerful force surged out from inside, instantly enveloping Lin Xiao.
"What on earth is going on?" Lin Xiao looked at everything in front of him in horror, completely at a loss.
