Chapter 318: Lin Xiao's Life and Death Decision in the Fantasy World
Lin Xiao had just beaten those hooligans to a pulp, and now she was standing on the street in the town, panting. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which kept falling down like beads from a broken string, soaking a large area of her collar. Her face was as red as a ripe apple, and she was breathing heavily, as if she had just finished a marathon.
"Hmph, these guys who don't know how to live or die, dare to act wildly in front of me, they must be tired of living!" Lin Xiao said while panting and gritting her teeth, her eyes revealing a strong anger and disdain.
People around gathered around, pointing at Lin Xiao and talking in low voices.
"This girl is really fierce. She took care of those bad guys all 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. The dark clouds were like a group of dark monsters, rushing towards this side with bared fangs and claws, quickly blocking the sunlight, and the whole world seemed to fall into darkness all of a sudden.
Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
Suddenly, a mysterious old man appeared in front of Lin Xiao like a ghost. The old man was wearing a gray robe with some strange runes embroidered on it, which looked mysterious. He had white hair and his face was covered with wrinkles, like deep ravines, but his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's souls.
"Little girl, your courage is commendable, but you are about to face a huge crisis." The old man's voice was low and hoarse, like an echo from an ancient cave, with a chilling power.
Lin Xiao looked at the old man warily, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his body leaned back slightly, and he took a defensive posture.
"What crisis? Who are you? Stop being mysterious!" Lin Xiao asked loudly, her voice full of vigilance and unwillingness to accept.
The old man smiled slightly, and there was a hint of mystery and unpredictability in that smile.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that everything you have done has attracted the attention of the dark forces. They are not someone you can easily mess with. They are cruel and ruthless, and do all kinds of evil. They will not let you go unless you make a choice." The old man said slowly, with an invisible pressure in his voice.
Lin Xiao frowned, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but he soon became determined.
"Hmph, I, Lin Xiao, am not afraid of any dark forces! No matter how powerful they are, I will not back down!" Lin Xiao puffed out his chest and said fearlessly.
The old man nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Okay, since you are so determined, I will tell you. You can either join them, work for them, and become their lackey; or you can fight them to the end, but this means you will face endless pursuit and danger, and you may even lose your life. You have to think it through, little girl." The old man stared at Lin Xiao closely, as if he wanted to see what she was thinking from her expression.
A hint of determination flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.
"I, Lin Xiao, will never go along with the dark forces! I choose to fight to the end! Even if I die, I will not hesitate!" Lin Xiao said loudly, her voice firm and powerful, as if declaring her determination to the whole world.
The old man sighed slightly.
"Okay, now that you have made your choice, you must be prepared. Along the way, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles beyond your imagination. But remember, justice will eventually triumph over evil. As long as you stick to your beliefs, you will be able to defeat darkness." After the old man finished speaking, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Lin Xiao.
The book looks ancient and mysterious, with some strange patterns and symbols engraved on the cover, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"This is a secret book that may be able to help you. But remember, using it will also bring great risks." There was a hint of worry and warning in the old man's eyes.
Lin Xiao took the secret book and felt a heavy weight.
At this moment, Mo Yu suddenly appeared beside Lin Xiao. His face was gloomy and his eyes were full of worry.
"Lin Xiao, you are too impulsive. Do you know what you are facing? This is not a joke!" Mo Yu said anxiously.
Lin Xiao looked at Mo Yu with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Mo Yu, I can't retreat. I can't just watch the dark forces do whatever they want. I have to fight for justice!" Lin Xiao said.
Mo Yu sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will stay with you. But you must be careful and never take it lightly." Mo Yu said.
Lin Xiao was moved and held Mo Yu's hand.
"Thank you, Mo Yu. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything." Lin Xiao said.
The two walked side by side, ready to face the upcoming challenges.
Along the way, the wind was howling, sand and rocks were flying. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu walked forward with difficulty, their clothes were rustling in the wind, and their hair was flying messily in the wind.
"This horrible weather is terrible!" Lin Xiao complained.
"Be careful!" Mo Yu suddenly shouted and pulled Lin Xiao behind him.
Suddenly a huge rock rolled down from the mountain and hit them.
Mo Yu pulled Lin Xiao and dodged quickly, and the stone rolled past them.
"That was a close call!" Lin Xiao patted his chest and said with lingering fear.
"Don't let your guard down, there may be more dangers ahead." Mo Yu said.
The two continued walking forward and suddenly heard a sinister laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, and a chill surged in their hearts.
"Who is it?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
At this time, a dark shadow slowly walked out of the woods.
