Chapter 260 "The Fantasy World: Sandstorm Counterattack: Lin Xiao's Desperate Decision&quo
Lin Xiao stood alone on the edge of the vast, uninhabited desert. The wind was roaring like a demon, blowing up dust all over the sky, forming a sand curtain that covered the sky and the sun, as if it was going to swallow up the whole world.
"Oh my god! What the hell is this place? I feel like I've been thrown into the abyss of doomsday!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but curse loudly, his voice torn into pieces by the strong wind in an instant.
At this time, Lin Xiao's clothes, which were already tattered, had become riddled with holes under the raging wind and dust. The strips of cloth fluttered in the wind, like a torn flag on the battlefield. Her hair was as messy as a wasteland covered with weeds, whipping her cheeks in the wind. The skin on her face had become rough and dark due to the erosion of wind and sand for a long time, like the bark of a tree that had experienced vicissitudes of life. Blood oozed from her cracked lips, but her eyes flashed with stubbornness and unyielding light.
She tightly grasped the slightly mottled long sword in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force, as if it was her only life-saving straw in this cruel world.
Suddenly, a strange and low sound came from the depths of the desert, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years was slowly waking up, and the earth was shaking.
Lin Xiao's heart suddenly shrank, his brows instantly wrinkled into a deep "川" shape, and his vigilant eyes shot towards the direction where the sound came from like a sharp sword.
"What the hell is this? Does God want to kill me?" she murmured to herself, her voice filled with fear and uneasiness that was hard to conceal.
At this moment, a mysterious figure slowly emerged from the dust like a ghost.
Lin Xiao opened her eyes wide, trying to see the person coming, but the dust was like a thick veil, blocking her sight.
"Who are you? Stop playing tricks!" Lin Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice trembling slightly.
The figure gradually approached, and finally, Lin Xiao saw his face clearly. It was a man in a black robe, his face was mostly covered by shadows, revealing only a pair of deep and cold eyes, which made people shudder.
“Hmph, little girl, stop meddling in other people’s business and leave here immediately, otherwise your life will be in danger!” The man’s voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, held the sword tightly with both hands, and said, "This place is not owned by your family, I won't leave! I want to see what you can do to me!"
The man sneered, and his figure flashed like a ghost, appearing in front of Lin Xiao in the blink of an eye. A strong and oppressive breath rushed towards him, and Lin Xiao felt that breathing became difficult.
"You're asking for your own death!" The man stretched out a hand, which was like an eagle's claw, and grabbed Lin Xiao fiercely.
Lin Xiao didn't have time to think and instinctively swung his sword to block.
"Dang!" The sword collided with the hand, making a crisp sound. Lin Xiao only felt a huge force coming from the sword, which made her arm numb.
"Hmph, is that all you can do?" The man showed a look of disdain on his face and launched another attack.
Lin Xiao secretly thought that something was wrong, but his eyes were still full of determination.
"Watch out for the sword! I won't give up easily!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, gritting his teeth and fighting back hard.
The two of them immediately started a fierce fight. Lin Xiao's swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind, and every move was filled with determination to fight to the death.
"Ah! Take my sword!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, with veins bulging on his forehead.
The man dodged her attacks easily, as if he was teasing a weak prey.
"Little girl, don't waste your energy!" the man taunted.
Lin Xiao's sweat fell like rain and her breathing became rapid, but she still had no intention of retreating.
Just when the two were fighting fiercely, a deafening thunder suddenly came from the sky.
"Boom!" The thunder rumbled as if to tear the sky apart.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky like a sharp sword, instantly illuminating the entire dark desert.
Lin Xiao and the man couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked up at the sky.
At this time, mysterious runes began to appear in the desert, flashing strange blue light and beating as if they had life.
"What the hell is this?" Lin Xiao opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes full of horror.
The man's face also became extremely ugly, and his eyes revealed deep fear and despair.
"Oh no! The ancient seal has been broken!" the man said in a trembling voice.
Before they could react, an irresistible force erupted from the center of the rune, forming a huge shock wave.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao and the man were knocked to the ground by this force and rolled far away.
Lin Xiao struggled to get up from the ground, feeling pain all over his body as if all the bones were falling apart.
"What is going on?" She looked at the man, hoping to get an answer from him.
The man stood up with difficulty, his face covered with dust and blood.
"This is a cursed seal. Once it is touched, the whole world will fall into disaster!" The man's voice was full of despair.
Lin Xiao bit her lip, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death!" Lin Xiao said.
The man was silent for a moment, and suddenly a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Only by finding the core of the seal can we have a glimmer of hope. But the journey is full of dangers. Are you sure you want to go with me?" the man asked.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and answered without hesitation: "Of course! I'm not afraid!"
So, the two of them walked hard towards the depths of the desert amidst the strong wind and dust.
Along the way, sand and rocks blown up by the strong wind kept hitting them, as if countless fists were attacking them mercilessly.
"Ouch! The sand hurts my face!" Lin Xiao complained while covering his face with his hands.
"Bear with it! This has just begun!" the man shouted.
As they walked, they suddenly found a huge sand dune in front of them, and something seemed to be crawling on the dune.
"Be careful!" the man warned.
Lin Xiao looked closely and saw a group of huge scorpions rushing down from the sand dunes, their tails raised high, flashing deadly cold light.
"Oh my god! What kind of monster is this!" Lin Xiao stepped back in fear.
The man was not afraid at all. He drew the dagger from his waist and rushed forward.
"Don't be afraid! Fight with me!" the man shouted.
Lin Xiao plucked up his courage, brandished his sword, and joined the battle.
After a fierce fight, they finally repelled the scorpion group.
"Huh! Finally got rid of these guys!" Lin Xiao said breathlessly.
"Don't let your guard down, we don't know what's waiting for us ahead!" said the man.
The two continued to move forward, and the temperature of the desert became higher and higher, as if it was going to dry them out.
"I feel like I'm being roasted!" Lin Xiao complained.
"Hold on a little longer!" the man said.
Just then, they saw an ancient castle standing in the middle of the desert.
"Is that the core of the seal?" Lin Xiao asked.
The man nodded: "It should be there, but it must be full of dangers."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath: "No matter what, rush in!"
They walked into the castle, which was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Suddenly, dark shadows came from all directions.
"Be careful!" the man shouted.
Lin Xiao and the man stood back to back, fighting a desperate battle with the shadow...
