Chapter 266 "Dark Forest Adventure in Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Game of Life and Death&quo
Lin Xiao stood alone in the eerie dark forest. The trees around her seemed like huge black fortresses towering into the sky. The branches and leaves were densely intertwined, forming an almost opaque sky, which blocked out the only trace of moonlight. The air was filled with a thick, disgusting, damp fog. Every breath she took felt like swallowing a mouthful of sticky glue, making her breathing extremely heavy.
At this moment, Lin Xiao's face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and her eyes were filled with undisguised fear and vigilance. She tightly grasped the trembling long sword in her hand, and the sword body flashed a faint cold light, as if it was also trembling for the upcoming unknown danger.
"What the hell is this place? I was just studying for an exam in the library, how did I end up in this place?" Lin Xiao cursed loudly and hysterically, her voice sounding particularly abrupt in the eerie silence of the forest. She waved her hands in the air, looking like a crazy beast trapped in a cage.
Suddenly, an eerie cold wind blew, and the leaves made an eerie rustling sound, as if countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness were staring at her coldly.
Lin Xiao's body suddenly stiffened and his heart instantly rose to his throat.
"What's that sound? Is some horrible monster about to show up?" Lin Xiao muttered to himself in a low voice, his voice full of trembling and anxiety.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then carefully listened to the movements around her.
"Tick, tick..." The sound of dripping water came from afar, which seemed particularly strange and clear in this forest as quiet as a grave.
Lin Xiao's brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and entanglement.
"Go or not go? This voice sounds evil." Lin Xiao bit his lip and muttered to himself.
Finally, strong curiosity overcame the fear in his heart. Lin Xiao tightly gripped the sword in his hand and walked slowly towards the direction where the sound came from with cautious steps.
Every step she took felt like she was stepping on cotton, her feet were soft and she had no strength.
Just then, a huge black bat suddenly whizzed past her head, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but scream, and her body subconsciously took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.
"Calm down, Lin Xiao, you have to calm down!" Lin Xiao gasped for breath and kept encouraging himself in his heart.
Continuing forward, Lin Xiao discovered an ancient cave hidden deep in the woods. A pungent smell filled the cave entrance, which was like a mixture of rotting corpses and spoiled potions, making people want to vomit.
"What on earth is hidden in here?" Lin Xiao stood at the entrance of the cave, hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage to walk in.
The cave was dark and damp, with a strange blue light flickering on the walls, which seemed to be the eyes of some evil creature. The ground was covered with puddles of various sizes, and if you were not careful, you would step into them and get splashed with mud.
Lin Xiao walked carefully, being extremely cautious with every step.
Suddenly, there was a "crunching" sound under her feet.
When she looked down, she saw a pile of white bones, some of which were stained with blood, which looked extremely terrifying.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao was so scared that his face turned pale in an instant, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"No, I can't be scared like this!" Lin Xiao suppressed his inner fear and tried to keep himself standing firm.
At this moment, a low and dull roar came from the depths of the cave. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying endless anger and murderous intent.
Lin Xiao's heart instantly rose to his throat, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
"Is it a monster? What should we do?" Lin Xiao's voice trembled and he held the sword in his hand tighter.
"Never mind, let's fight!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and rushed towards the source of the sound.
As the footsteps got closer, a huge figure appeared in front of Lin Xiao.
It was a monster covered with spikes, more than ten meters tall. Its eyes flashed blood-red light and a black smoke spurted out of its mouth. The smoke had a pungent stench that made people dizzy.
"Damn it!" Lin Xiao cursed and rushed forward.
The monster waved its huge claws and pounced towards Lin Xiao fiercely.
Lin Xiao dodged the attack nimbly by moving sideways, and at the same time swung the sword in his hand violently, slashing at the monster's leg.
"Ah!" The monster let out a painful scream and a deep wound appeared on its leg.
But this did not make the monster retreat, but instead made it even more angry.
The monster opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Lin Xiao again.
Lin Xiao rolled over to avoid the attack, then quickly stood up and swung his sword at the monster again.
For a moment, Lin Xiao and the monster started a fierce fight.
Lin Xiao's clothes were torn and she had multiple injuries on her body, with blood staining her clothes red.
"I can't fall down like this! I must defeat it!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his eyes full of determination and indomitable spirit.
Just when Lin Xiao was gradually running out of strength, she suddenly discovered a weakness of the monster.
"Now!" Lin Xiao used up the last bit of his strength and stabbed the monster's weak point with his sword.
The monster let out a desperate roar and fell to the ground with a bang.
Lin Xiao also collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, with a tired but relieved smile on his face.
"Finally...it's over..." Lin Xiao murmured to himself, his voice weak and hoarse.
However, just when she relaxed her vigilance, a strange sound suddenly came from the cave again.
"What? Are there other monsters?" Lin Xiao's face became serious again...
