Chapter 292 "The Secret Shadow of the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Shocking Journey of Exploration"
Lin Xiao took a short break in the dilapidated wooden house, but she was still feeling uneasy. She looked out the window, frowning, and muttered to herself, "How many unknown secrets are hidden in this damn place?"
At this moment, the sunlight shone on her face through the mottled window, but she could not feel the warmth at all. She stood up, patted the dust off her body, and took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up.
"No matter what, I'm going to find out!" Lin Xiao bit his lip, his eyes revealing determination.
She walked out of the cabin with firm steps, the weeds under her feet swaying gently, as if seeing her off. The wild flowers on the roadside were blooming exceptionally gorgeously, but Lin Xiao had no intention of appreciating them.
"Hmph, no matter how beautiful this flower is, it can't solve my current predicament." Lin Xiao muttered.
Walking along the winding path, the breeze brushed across her face, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the haze in her heart.
As he walked, Lin Xiao came to the front of the ancient castle. The castle was tall and majestic, with the gates tightly closed, as if rejecting the disturbance from the outside world.
Lin Xiao looked up at the castle, his heart full of doubts and curiosity.
"This castle looks eerie. Could it be a ghost place?" She murmured to herself, but her steps moved forward involuntarily.
She knocked on the door gently, "Dong, Dong, Dong." The sound echoed in the silent air, sounding particularly clear.
After a long while, the door slowly opened, and a haggard old man appeared in front of her, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue and vigilance.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?" The old man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he had experienced countless vicissitudes.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said: "I am exploring this world and trying to solve the mystery here."
The old man looked her up and down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Just you? This is not something you can bear."
Lin Xiao straightened his chest and said without flinching, "How can you know if you don't try? I, Lin Xiao, am not a coward!"
The old man sneered and stepped aside to let her in.
Lin Xiao walked into the castle. It was dark and cold inside. The torches on the walls flickered with strange lights, casting shadows on everything around him.
"This place is too weird. It feels like I'm in a haunted house." Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver and hugged his arms unconsciously.
Suddenly, she heard a deep roar, as if coming from an ancient beast. The sound echoed in the castle, making her eardrums buzz.
"What's that sound?" Lin Xiao's heartbeat suddenly quickened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Just then, a huge black shadow passed over her head, bringing a cool breeze.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, and his face turned pale in an instant.
She looked around frantically, her eyes wide and full of fear.
"What on earth is this?" Lin Xiao's voice trembled.
At this moment, the old man appeared behind her and said coldly, "Little girl, do you regret coming in?"
Lin Xiao turned around and glared at the old man fiercely: "Humph, I won't regret it!"
She pretended to be calm and continued to move forward cautiously.
