Chapter 368: Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Shocking Counterattack
Lin Xiao stepped into the dark and gloomy forest with trepidation. The moonlight seemed to be swallowed by the thick haze. The few remaining rays of light struggled to penetrate the dense branches and leaves, casting strange shadows on the ground. Every time she took a step, the dead branches and leaves under her feet would make a spine-chilling "crunching" sound, as if telling her the mystery and danger of this forest.
"What kind of scary place is this? It's exactly like a scene in a horror movie!" Lin Xiao muttered softly as he turned his head alertly with his eyes wide open, trying his best to capture any unusual movements around him.
Suddenly, a cold wind whistled past, and the leaves rustled, as if countless invisible hands were gently caressing her back. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shudder, and goose bumps covered her body in an instant.
"Oh my, why is this wind so weird? Is there some unclean thing here?" She hugged her arms tightly and her voice began to tremble.
At this moment, a low and threatening roar came from the front. This sound seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, and Lin Xiao's heartbeat instantly soared, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
"What...what on earth is this sound?" Lin Xiao's legs seemed to be pressed down by lead blocks, unable to move at all. Her face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
A huge monster slowly emerged from the shadows of the woods. The monster was several feet tall, covered with hard scales, and flashing a chilling cold light. Its eyes were like burning flames, emitting a strange red light, staring at Lin Xiao intently.
"Oh my God!" Lin Xiao was so shocked that he almost collapsed to the ground, his mouth opened so wide that a fist could almost fit in.
"Little girl, today is the day you die!" The monster opened its bloody mouth and made a dull and ferocious sound, which seemed to be able to shatter a person's soul.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She gritted her teeth, and a look of determination flashed across her eyes.
"Hmph, if you want me to die, it's not that easy!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, with a slight tremor in his voice, but more of it was unyielding and stubborn.
After saying that, she dashed towards the monster like an arrow shot from a bow. The sword in her hand gleamed coldly in the dim moonlight, as if it was her only remaining hope.
The monster waved its huge claws, and with a whirring sound, it pounced on Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao swiftly dodged sideways, his movements as light as a monkey.
"Swish!" Lin Xiao took advantage of the moment when the monster missed its attack and swung his sword at the monster's leg.
"Dang!" The sword collided with the monster's hard scales, splashing out a string of dazzling sparks. Lin Xiao's arms were numb from the recoil and he almost couldn't hold the sword.
"This guy is really amazing!" Lin Xiao gritted her teeth, her face full of effort. Her breathing became rapid, and her chest rose and fell violently.
The monster didn't give her a chance to catch her breath and attacked again, this time with greater speed and power.
Lin Xiao rolled over and barely avoided the monster's fatal blow. The dust on the ground was blown up, blinding her eyes.
"No, this is not a good idea!" Lin Xiao coughed and felt anxious in his heart.
Just when she was almost in despair, she suddenly discovered the monster's flaw. It turned out that there was a scale on the monster's abdomen that was slightly darker in color.
"Right now!" A trace of determination flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. She gathered all her strength and stabbed towards the monster's flaw like a flash of lightning.
"Puff!" The sword pierced deeply into the monster's abdomen, and black blood spurted out, splashing all over Lin Xiao.
The monster howled in pain and twisted its body wildly in an attempt to throw Lin Xiao off.
Lin Xiao held the sword tightly, not daring to relax even a bit.
"Prepare to die!" Lin Xiao used up his last bit of strength and stirred the sword inside the monster's body.
The monster finally fell down with a loud thud, and the ground shook.
Lin Xiao sat down on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.
"Finally I got rid of this monster of yours..." Lin Xiao said weakly, with a smile of rebirth on his face.
