Chapter 334: Lin Xiao's Journey to Breakthrough
Lin Xiao was like a lamb lost in the abyss of darkness, dragged into the endless black hole of this gloomy ancient castle by a mysterious and powerful force. The surrounding darkness was so thick that it seemed to swallow people in an instant, and the cold air was like countless vicious snakes, running around in the narrow passage, making a "hissing" sound that made people's backs cold.
Lin Xiao's heart was beating wildly, as if trying to break free from the restraints of her chest. The rapid rhythm was like the crazy beating of war drums on the battlefield, and every beat made her breath difficult. She tightly grasped the sword that was shining with a faint blue light, and sweat continued to seep out of her palms, as if the sword was her only life-saving straw in this terrifying world. The light of the sword flickered in the darkness, like a faint star in the night sky that could go out at any time, making the only glimmer of hope in her heart become erratic.
"What the hell is this place? It feels like I've fallen into a horrible nightmare that I can't wake up from!" Lin Xiao's voice was trembling violently, and every word he uttered was filled with deep fear and helplessness.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past her like a ghost, and the cold wind it brought was like a sharp ice knife, scraping her skin fiercely.
Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, "Who? If you have the guts, stop hiding and get out here!"
However, the only response she got was eerie silence. That silence was like an invisible net, slowly swallowing up her hopes bit by bit.
At this moment, a low and eerie laughter came from a distance. The laughter seemed to come from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, carrying endless chill and malice, like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Lin Xiao's soul.
"Little girl, do you think you can escape from this endless darkness? Don't be delusional! This is where you will die!"
Lin Xiao bit his lips until they were almost bleeding. "Hmph, stop trying to scare me! Even if it's a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or the eighteen levels of hell, I, Lin Xiao, will never back down! Come at me if you dare!"
She took a deep breath, suppressed the fear that almost overwhelmed her, and walked towards the direction of the sound with firm but slightly trembling steps. The passage was filled with a pungent stench of decay, which was like the smell of piled-up corpses, making people sick. There were strange lights flickering on the walls, and those lights seemed like countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, watching her every move with malicious intent.
When she finally arrived at the huge hall, the scene before her made her mind go blank in an instant, and her heart seemed to stop beating.
The huge stone coffin placed in the center of the hall was like a heavy mountain, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe. The coffin cover was engraved with mysterious and twisted runes. Those runes seemed to have life, constantly flashing strange lights and emitting a frightening evil aura. Several tall statues stood around, with hideous and terrifying faces, as if they were evil spirits crawling out of hell. Their eyes revealed a death gaze, as if they were laughing at Lin Xiao's overestimation of his own abilities.
"What the hell is this?" Lin Xiao's voice was shaking badly, and his legs were shaking involuntarily, like leaves swaying in the wind.
At this moment, the sarcophagus slowly opened, and a suffocatingly powerful force surged out from it, instantly turning into a cloud of thick black smoke, and pounced towards Lin Xiao at lightning speed.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but let out a scream of horror.
The cloud of smoke instantly enveloped her. Lin Xiao instinctively raised her sword and shouted, "No matter what kind of monster you are, don't even think about hurting me! I'll fight you!"
Lin Xiao's hair was flying in disarray in the smoke, and her face was full of fear and determination.
"I, Lin Xiao, am not so easily defeated!" She roared and waved her sword wildly, trying to disperse the terrible smoke.
A sinister sneer came from the smoke: "Little girl, you are too naive!"
Lin Xiao retorted loudly: "Humph, stop looking down on me!"
At this time, the smoke gradually dissipated, and a huge figure appeared in front of Lin Xiao.
It was a huge monster. Its body was like a hill and covered with sharp thorns. Its blood-red eyes emitted a cruel light.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this!" Lin Xiao was so scared that he almost collapsed to the ground.
The monster opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of black flames, heading straight for Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao quickly dodged to the side, "You ugly bastard, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
She dodged and looked for the monster's weakness.
