Chapter 380: "Desperate Breakout"
Lin Xiao walked slowly and carefully along the path in the deep and eerie valley. The towering peaks on both sides looked like huge monsters, looking down at her fiercely. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water. The thick dark clouds covered the only ray of light.
"This damn weather is driving me crazy!" Lin Xiao muttered, her brows knitted tightly together, and her steps were hurried but a little staggering. Her face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, as if she was alert to the danger that might appear at any time.
Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, and the wind was like countless sharp claws, tearing Lin Xiao's clothes and hair fiercely. She couldn't help but shudder, and the ominous premonition in her heart became stronger.
"What is going on? Is God playing a trick on me?" Lin Xiao bit his lips until they turned white from his teeth.
At this moment, a group of dark shadows appeared on the road ahead. They were all strong and powerful, holding sharp weapons, with fierce and greedy eyes.
"Stop! This road was built by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for passage!" The burly man in the lead shouted at the top of his voice, and his voice echoed in the valley, sounding particularly harsh.
Lin Xiao suddenly stopped, her eyes suddenly became fierce, she clenched her fists and glared at him. "What do you want to do? How dare you rob in broad daylight! Is there still law?"
"Hmph, little girl, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!" The burly man waved the gleaming sword in his hand and approached Lin Xiao step by step. The flesh on his face kept shaking with his movements.
Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "You are still a little naive if you want to rob me!" As she said that, she flashed like an agile leopard, ready to rush through the gap between the group of robbers.
However, the other side had a large number of people and soon surrounded her.
"You little bitch, you still want to run? Today you can't escape even if you have wings!" a tall and thin robber said viciously.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Xiao's forehead and her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, but her eyes were still full of stubbornness and indomitable spirit.
"What should I do? Am I really going to fail here?" Lin Xiao was secretly anxious.
At this critical moment, Mo Yu appeared beside Lin Xiao like a ghost. He was tall and straight, with a stern look in his eyes, and exuded a powerful aura that could not be ignored.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Mo Yu's voice was steady and powerful, as if it gave Lin Xiao a shot of adrenaline.
Lin Xiao was delighted, "Why are you here?"
Mo Yu smiled slightly, "I'm always by your side and won't let you get hurt."
After that, Mo Yu moved and started a fierce fight with the robbers. His movements were clean and neat, and each move contained great power. Under his attack, the robbers gradually fell into a disadvantage.
But just when they thought they were about to win, the situation suddenly took a turn.
Another group of mysterious people appeared, wearing black cloaks and masks, making it impossible to see their faces. They were even more powerful and their moves were even more bizarre.
"What on earth is going on?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
While resisting the attack, Mo Yu shouted loudly: "Lin Xiao, hurry up! I will hold them back!"
"No, I won't leave! If you want to go, let's go together!" Lin Xiao roared stubbornly, his eyes revealing firm determination.
Mo Yu felt warm in his heart, but his tone became more urgent, "Don't be willful! You will only become a burden to me if you stay here!"
Lin Xiao's tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back.
"Then you must come back alive!" Lin Xiao said, turned around and ran towards the depths of the valley.
The robbers saw Lin Xiao running away and wanted to chase him, but were stopped by Mo Yu.
"Your opponent is me!" Mo Yu roared.
The mysterious man took the opportunity to launch a more violent attack, and Mo Yu gradually fell into trouble.
