Chapter 291 "A Fantasy World of Horror: Lin Xiao's Dark Night Crisis"
Lin Xiao followed the mysterious old man into the dark and gloomy forest. The moonlight was like crushed silver sand, shining through the gaps between the dense leaves, forming patches of strange light spots on the ground. The thick fog around him seemed to have life, rolling and surging, making Lin Xiao feel like he had fallen into a huge fog trap.
"Grandpa, where are you taking me? I'm so scared!" Lin Xiao grabbed the corner of the old man's clothes tightly, and his voice trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind.
The old man didn't look back, but just walked forward, muttering: "Girl, don't ask too many questions, just follow me."
Lin Xiao bit her lip and muttered to herself, "This old man is so mysterious, will he sell me out?"
Suddenly, a cold wind blew over without warning, and the leaves were rustling, and the sound seemed like countless wronged souls crying.
Lin Xiao shivered with fear and almost collapsed to the ground. She stammered, "Oh my god, this wind is too weird. It feels like something unclean is following us!"
The old man stopped and turned back to glare at her: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to attract dirty things!"
Lin Xiao shrank his neck and dared not say another word.
As we walked, a dark cave appeared in front of us. A pungent smell filled the air from the cave entrance, like a mixture of rotting corpses and damp soil.
Lin Xiao's stomach churned, and he covered his mouth and said, "Grandpa, this cave doesn't look like a good place. Can we take another route?"
The old man snorted coldly: "Girl, what are you afraid of? Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. The secret is in this cave."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and followed the old man into the cave reluctantly.
The cave was damp and cold, with water dripping from the cave wall from time to time. The "tick-tick" sound was particularly clear in the silence. Lin Xiao walked carefully. The stones under her feet were wet and slippery. She was not careful and almost fell.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao screamed.
The old man quickly reached out to hold her up: "Be careful, girl!"
Lin Xiao said angrily: "This broken place is terrible!"
Suddenly, a huge bat flew overhead, bringing a cool breeze.
Lin Xiao screamed in fear: "Ah! Bat! Bat!"
She waved her arms frantically, as if trying to shoo the bat away.
The old man said impatiently: "It's just a bat, look at what you have accomplished!"
Lin Xiao panted: "Old man, you said it lightly, this is too scary!"
Continuing forward, an underground river appeared in front of us. The water was gurgling and making a strange sound, as if someone was crying softly under the water.
"How can I cross this river? Grandpa, I can't swim!" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with tears.
The old man took out a night-shining pearl from his arms. The night-shining pearl emitted a soft light, illuminating the surrounding environment.
"Look, there is a stone bridge over there." The old man pointed.
Lin Xiao looked at the stone bridge and felt uneasy: "This stone bridge looks shaky. Can we walk on it?"
The old man ignored her and walked straight onto the stone bridge.
Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and followed. As soon as she stepped onto the stone bridge, she felt her feet slip.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed.
Just as she was about to fall into the river, the old man grabbed her.
"Be careful, girl!" the old man's voice echoed in the darkness.
Lin Xiao turned pale with fear: "Grandpa, I almost died here!"
After finally crossing the river, a huge stone gate appeared in front of us.
The old man fumbled on the stone door for a while, and the stone door slowly opened. A dazzling light shot out from inside, and Lin Xiao was so blinded that he couldn't open his eyes.
"What...what is this?" Lin Xiao covered his eyes with his hands.
