Chapter 290: Exploring the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao’s Mysterious Journey

Lin Xiao's heart was in his throat when he followed the mysterious old man into the dilapidated wooden house. The house was filled with a strong old smell, as if time had stopped here for a long time. The old man sat tremblingly on the rickety wooden chair, staring at Lin Xiao with eyes as sharp as a hawk.

"Little girl, do you know that once you step in, you will be caught up in a storm as violent as a storm?" The old man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from ancient times.

Lin Xiao frowned, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety, and asked quickly: "Old man, what do you mean by this? I can't stand being frightened!"

The old man sighed softly, and that sigh seemed to carry the vicissitudes of thousands of years. He slowly said: "This seemingly peaceful continent actually hides a shocking secret that can change the color of the world, and you, girl, may be the key to unlocking this secret."

Lin Xiao's eyes widened, her jaw nearly dropping to the ground in surprise. She stammered, "Me? Old man, please stop kidding! I'm just an unlucky little village girl who accidentally traveled through time. I don't have any skills, so how can I be responsible for such a big thing!"

The old man shook his head, his expression as serious as a soldier going to die, and said: "This is no joke. The wheel of fate has already rolled around. Girl, you can't escape even if you want to."

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the house. The sound of the wind was like the roar of a demon, making the windows creak, as if they would fall apart at any time.

Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart. He hugged his arms tightly with both hands, looked out the window nervously, and said tremblingly: "This wind is too weird! It feels like something unclean is rushing in!"

The old man stood up, walked to the window with a staggering gait, looked at the dark sky outside, and said worriedly: "This is the prelude to the coming of a storm. I'm afraid a disaster is about to happen."

Lin Xiao swallowed her saliva, her voice was filled with tears: "Grandpa, what is the secret? Please stop keeping me in suspense, it's driving me crazy!"

The old man was silent for a moment, then turned around, his eyes showing a trace of determination, and slowly said: "Legend has it that in the deepest part of this continent, there is a peerless treasure hidden. It is said that possessing it can control the power of the entire world. But the appearance of this treasure will inevitably lead to countless fights and bloody killings."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and almost lost his balance. He stumbled and said, "So amazing? Then...then why did you say I could find it? I don't even believe it myself!"

The old man smiled slightly, but that smile was full of mystery: "Because you have a special mark on your body, this mark is like the brightest star in the night sky, only you can be sensed by the treasure in the vast sea of people."

Lin Xiao touched his arm and muttered in confusion: "Mark? Why don't I feel anything at all? Old man, are you kidding me?"

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. The footsteps were chaotic and heavy, as if carrying endless murderous intent.

"Oh no, someone is coming!" The old man's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Lin Xiao's heart instantly rose to his throat, and his legs were shaking: "Who... who is this? Are they here to kill me?"

The door was slammed open, and a group of men in black rushed in like ghosts. The leader had his face covered, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

"Take that girl away!" The leading man in black had an icy voice, as if it came from hell.

Lin Xiao was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, almost falling to the ground, and screamed, "What do you want to do? How dare you seize a woman in broad daylight!"

The old man stepped in front of Lin Xiao and shouted, "Don't even think about hurting her! I'll fight you!"

A fierce fight broke out instantly. Although the old man was old, he was still very agile. He dodged left and right and fought a desperate battle with the man in black.

Lin Xiao was terrified watching from the side. He covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes wide open, and kept shouting, "Grandpa, be careful!"

Suddenly, a man in black kicked the old man on the back while he was not paying attention. The old man groaned and fell to the ground.

"Old man!" Lin Xiao rushed over crying, trying to help the old man up.

At this moment, a gleam of determination flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. She grabbed a wooden stick beside her and rushed towards the man in black.

"If you dare to hurt the old man, I will fight you!" Lin Xiao roared loudly.

Seeing this, the men in black surrounded Lin Xiao.
