Chapter 327 "Mysterious Shadow of the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Adventure of Breaking Out of Despair"
Lin Xiao walked alone in this boundless desert, the scorching sun was like countless red-hot steel needles, mercilessly piercing every inch of her skin. Her face was sunburned red, her lips were as dry as the land after a long drought, and every step she took was like a difficult tug-of-war with the god of death.
"This shabby place is simply hell on earth! How unlucky I am to end up in this damn place!" Lin Xiao cursed while panting, his voice becoming hoarse due to extreme thirst.
The howling wind swept in, rolling up the dust all over the sky, forming huge yellow whirlpools. Lin Xiao had to squint his eyes and cover his mouth and nose with his hands to avoid being choked by the dust.
"Oh, God, are you going to bury me alive here?" she roared loudly, but the strong wind instantly swallowed up her voice without a trace.
Suddenly, a low and mysterious bell sounded from afar. The bell sounded faintly under the cover of the wind and dust, as if it was a call from another world. Lin Xiao's heart suddenly tightened, and his originally exhausted eyes were instantly filled with vigilance.
"What the hell is that sound? Could it be that something more terrifying is waiting for me?" She frowned and her pace quickened involuntarily, with each step sinking deeply into the hot sand.
As she approached, an ancient and eerie castle gradually emerged from the sand. The castle walls were mottled and dilapidated, covered with unknown vines, like hideous scars left by the years.
Lin Xiao approached the castle gate cautiously, and just as he was about to push it, the heavy door slowly opened automatically as if it had its own consciousness. A stale and decayed smell rushed towards him like a ferocious beast, and Lin Xiao couldn't help coughing.
"What the hell is this place? It feels eerie. Are there any monsters?" Lin Xiao swallowed, her voice trembling. Her heart was filled with fear, but her strong curiosity drove her to step in.
The castle was dark and damp, and the torches on the walls swayed in the wind, emitting a faint and strange light. Lin Xiao looked around vigilantly, and every step he took, he could hear his footsteps echoing in the empty castle, which seemed particularly clear.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh sounded in her ears. The laugh seemed to come from the depths of hell, full of endless evil and ridicule.
"Who? Who's there?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice obviously trembling. He held the sword tightly in front of his chest, his knuckles turning white from the force.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed past her like a ghost, bringing a gust of cool wind. Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, but saw nothing, only endless darkness and a gloomy atmosphere.
"Stop playing tricks and come out!" Lin Xiao roared loudly. His voice echoed in the castle, but there was no response.
Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Sweat continued to roll down her forehead, mixing with the dust on her face, forming dirty traces.
Just when her nerves were stretched to the limit, a mysterious voice sounded quietly in her ears.
"Lin Xiao, do you think you can escape the arrangement of fate?"
Lin Xiao looked around in horror, trying to find the source of the sound. "Who are you? What destiny? I don't believe it!"
The mysterious voice sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm and indifference. "Your arrival in this world was not accidental, but destined. From the moment you stepped into this desert, your fate was already determined."
Lin Xiao shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense here! If you have the guts, show up and let's talk it out face to face!"
Suddenly, the torches around went out, and the entire castle fell into a suffocating darkness. Lin Xiao's heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence, as if it was the only sign of life in the darkness.
"What is going on?" Lin Xiao's voice was filled with despair and fear.
At this moment, a faint light flickered in the distance. Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the light.
