Chapter 274 "Fantasy World Counterattack: Lin Xiao's Swamp Jedi Battle"
Lin Xiao stood alone at the edge of the eerie swamp, surrounded by thick fog that was like insoluble ink. The fog seemed to have life, constantly surging and swirling, wrapping the whole world in a white chaos. The air was filled with a disgusting stench, which was like a mixture of a thousand-year-old rotting corpse and spoiled rotten eggs, so pungent that it made people's stomachs churn.
Lin Xiao's eyebrows were tightly twisted into a "川" shape, and her eyes revealed deep vigilance and fear. She tightly grasped the long sword in her hand, which was shining with a cold light. The sword body trembled slightly because she held it too tightly. Her lips became pale and cracked due to nervousness, and her teeth bit her lower lip tightly, as if to cheer herself up.
"What kind of shameful secret is hidden in this damn place? I, Lin Xiao, will dig it out even if I risk my life today!" Lin Xiao muttered to himself. His voice was particularly clear in this eerily silent swamp, but was quickly swallowed up by the endless fog.
Suddenly, a cold wind whistled past, like the breath of a devil, blowing Lin Xiao's hair wildly. She couldn't help but shiver, and her body trembled involuntarily.
She felt a pair of evil and cold eyes peeping at her in the darkness. The gaze seemed to carry a biting chill, causing a dense layer of goose bumps to rise up on her back in an instant.
"Who? Come out! Don't hide there. If you have the guts, come and fight me openly!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, with a tremor in her voice that was hard to conceal.
However, the only response she received was the gurgling sound of bubbles in the swamp and a few strange and mournful bird calls in the distance, which sounded like the wails of the dead and made her hair stand on end.
Lin Xiao took a small step forward cautiously. The soil under her feet was as soft as the tongue of a swamp monster, as if it would swallow her whole at any time. Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and quickly condensed into a thin layer of mist in the cold air.
At this moment, a python as big as a hill suddenly jumped out of the swamp. It opened its bloody mouth, its sharp teeth flashed a terrifying light, and a pungent fishy smell came out of its mouth.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear and quickly dodged to the side. Her movements were as agile as a frightened deer, but the fear on her face was hard to conceal.
The python missed its target and twisted its thick body angrily, stirring up a puff of foul-smelling mud. Its blood-red eyes stared at Lin Xiao, and it opened its mouth again to attack her even more fiercely.
Lin Xiao raised her sword, her eyes revealing determination and resoluteness. Her breathing was rapid and disordered, but the sword in her hand did not tremble at all.
"I won't let you succeed! You ugly guy!" Lin Xiao shouted, his voice full of anger and courage.
Lin Xiao and the python had a thrilling life-and-death struggle. Every time she swung her sword, she used up all her strength, and her clothes were soaked with sweat. She kept her eyes fixed on the python's movements, not daring to slack off.
"Watch out for the sword!" Lin Xiao shouted and stabbed fiercely at the python's eyes.
The python flexibly turned its head to avoid the attack, but Lin Xiao took the opportunity to roll over and avoid the sweep of the python's tail.
"Hmph, it's not that easy to defeat me!" Lin Xiao said, panting.
After a hard fight, Lin Xiao finally found the python's weakness. She took advantage of the gap between the python's attacks, leaped up, and stabbed the python accurately with a sword.
The python twisted its body in pain, uttered a sharp hiss, and its huge body rolled in the swamp, raising huge waves.
Lin Xiao stood aside, breathing heavily, his face full of fatigue and joy of victory.
"Finally I got rid of you, this monster!" Lin Xiao said with a slight tremor in his voice.
However, before she had time to rest, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the depths of the swamp.
"Hahahaha...do you think this is the end? How naive!"
Lin Xiao's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She clenched the sword in her hand and looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.
"Who is it? Come out if you have the guts! Stop playing tricks!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of anger and anxiety.
At this time, a mysterious figure slowly walked out of the mist. The man was covered in a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. But the aura emanating from him made people feel an inexplicable fear and oppression.
"Lin Xiao, you can't escape. This is your fate." The mysterious man's voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Lin Xiao glared at the mysterious man, flames of anger burning in his eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you targeting me? I have no grudge against you!" Lin Xiao asked.
The mysterious man sneered, slowly raised his hand, and lifted a corner of his cloak.
"Look who I am?" said the mysterious man.
Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw the mysterious man's face.
"How could it be you?" Lin Xiao said in disbelief.
