Chapter 372: The Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Desperate Gamble
Lin Xiao stood alone on the top of the mountain that towered into the clouds. The wind roared like a mad beast, making her clothes rustle. Her hair fluttered in the wind, but her eyes were fixed firmly on the mysterious place in the distance that was shrouded in fog.
"What secret is hidden here? I want to find out!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and talked to himself. He looked so stubborn as if he was determined to fight to the death with this unknown world.
At this moment, a strange light like a giant dragon suddenly streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the entire sky as bright as day. Then, a deafening thunder roared, as if it was going to shatter the world. Lin Xiao shuddered involuntarily, but she quickly clenched the sword in her hand that was flashing with cold light to give herself courage.
"Oh my God, are you trying to intimidate me? Humph, I'm not afraid!" Lin Xiao looked up at the sky and shouted, his voice full of fearlessness and challenge.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past her like a ghost, bringing with it a burst of icy cold air. Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, her heart instantly rising to her throat, but there was only an empty space in front of her, nothing in sight.
"Who? Come out if you've got the guts, don't hide!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness and anger.
At this moment, a mysterious and eerie voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, you shouldn't come here. This is a storm you can't withstand."
Lin Xiao snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain: "Hmph, stop trying to scare me! I wasn't brought up to be scared! Just use whatever tricks you have!"
But the voice no longer responded, as if it had never appeared.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and decided to move towards that mysterious place.
She walked carefully along the steep and rugged mountain road, each step was like walking on thin ice. On both sides of the mountain road were deep canyons, and the bottom of the valley was filled with thick fog, which was daunting.
"This place is too scary. I feel like I'm going to fall down at any time." Lin Xiao muttered, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Suddenly, a huge python jumped out from the bushes nearby. The python's body was as thick as a tree trunk, and its scales flickered strangely in the weak light. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced on Lin Xiao.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright and stepped back instinctively.
But she reacted quickly, gripped her sword tightly, and prepared to fight a life-and-death battle with the python.
"Come on, you beast! I'm going to chop you into pieces!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his eyes full of determination.
The python twisted its body and attacked again. Lin Xiao dodged the python's attack and swung his sword at it.
"Dang!" The sword hit the python's scales, splashing a string of sparks, but failed to cause any substantial damage to the python.
"This guy is so thick-skinned!" Lin Xiao frowned and groaned in his heart.
The python was enraged by Lin Xiao's attack and attacked him even more frantically. Lin Xiao dodged left and right on the narrow mountain road, and was in danger all around.
"Oh, what should I do?" Lin Xiao was dodging the python's attack while thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered the python's weakness - its eyes.
"Now!" A trace of determination flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. She took advantage of the gap between the python's attacks, jumped up suddenly, and stabbed towards the python's eyes.
