Chapter 317 "Exploring the Fantasy World: Lin Xiaoyong Explores the Black Wind Ridge"
Lin Xiao had just dealt with the gangsters and was standing on the busy street, breathing heavily. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which kept rolling down like pearls from a broken string, wetting her hair. Her face was red, like a ripe apple, and her big eyes were filled with stubbornness and anger.
"Hmph, these bastards dare to be so arrogant in front of me!" Lin Xiao said while wiping the sweat off her face with her hands. Her voice was trembling with anger, and her hands were clenched into fists.
The crowd gathered around, pointing at Lin Xiao and talking in low voices.
"This girl is really amazing. She took care of that group of thugs by herself!"
"That's right, but she was too impulsive. Now she's in big trouble."
Lin Xiao listened to these discussions and felt annoyed. She glared at the people around her and shouted, "What are you looking at? There's nothing good to see! Get out of here!"
At this moment, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy. Dark clouds rolled in, quickly blocking the sunlight, and the whole world seemed to have fallen into darkness all of a sudden.
Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
Suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared in front of Lin Xiao like a ghost. This person was dressed in a black robe and had a silver mask on his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. There was a mysterious light flashing in those eyes, which made people shudder.
"Little girl, you've offended someone you shouldn't have offended." The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from hell. There was an invisible pressure in his voice that made people want to retreat.
Lin Xiao looked at him warily, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his body leaned back slightly in a defensive posture.
"Who are you? Stop playing tricks here!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, her voice full of anger and courage.
The mysterious man sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is the danger you are about to face. The power behind those thugs is beyond your imagination. They will not let you go."
Lin Xiao's heart tightened, but she remained calm. She straightened her chest, looked straight into the mysterious man's eyes, and said fearlessly: "I, Lin Xiao, have never been afraid of any danger. If they have the guts, let them come!"
The mysterious man shook his head slightly, seeming helpless about Lin Xiao's ignorance of the immensity of the world.
"You are too naive. However, I can give you a chance. As long as you can complete a task, I will help you solve this trouble." There was a hint of temptation in the mysterious man's voice.
Lin Xiao frowned and asked in confusion: "What mission?"
The mysterious man lowered his voice and said, "There is a mysterious castle in Black Wind Ridge outside the city. Legend has it that there is a rare treasure hidden there, but there are also countless dangers and traps. You have to find the treasure and bring it back to me."
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, thinking about the purpose of this mysterious man.
"Why should I believe you? Is this a trap?" Lin Xiao's eyes were full of doubt.
The mysterious man laughed: "Believe it or not, this is your only way out." After that, the mysterious man disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he had never appeared.
Lin Xiao looked at the direction where the mysterious man disappeared and fell into deep thought.
"Never mind, let's give it a try!" Lin Xiao made up his mind and turned to walk towards the Black Wind Ridge outside the city.
Along the way, the wind was howling, sand and rocks were flying. Lin Xiao walked forward with difficulty, her clothes were rustling in the wind, and her hair was flying messily in the wind.
"This horrible weather is terrible!" Lin Xiao complained while covering his mouth and nose tightly with his hands to prevent sand from entering his mouth.
Suddenly, a huge bat flew over her head, and she was so scared that she quickly squatted down.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao screamed and her heart beat rapidly.
After the bat flew away, Lin Xiao stood up, dusted himself off, and continued moving forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao finally arrived at the foot of Black Wind Ridge. The mountain in front of him was towering into the clouds, and the mountain was filled with thick fog, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and began to climb this mysterious mountain.
The mountain road was rugged and covered with thorns and strange rocks. Lin Xiao walked carefully, and accidentally tripped over a stone and fell forward.
"Ouch!" Lin Xiao screamed and quickly supported herself on the ground with both hands to avoid falling. Her palms were cut by the stones and blood was flowing.
"Damn it!" Lin Xiao cursed, tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and simply bandaged the wound.
She stood up and continued walking.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh sounded in Lin Xiao's ears.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin Xiao was so frightened that he trembled all over and looked around.
"Who? Who's there?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of fear.
At this time, a figure slowly walked out of the fog.
