Chapter 390 "Illusionary World: Lin Xiao's Battle Against the Storm"
Lin Xiao stood alone in the vast desert, the scorching sun like countless red-hot steel needles, mercilessly piercing her skin. The howling wind rolled up the yellow sand in the sky, forming surging sand waves, lashing her body crazily.
Lin Xiao gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed like a small mountain, her eyes were almost blinded by the wind and sand, but she still stared at the front stubbornly, cursing non-stop: "This broken place is simply hell! God, are you deliberately making trouble for me!"
The clothes she was wearing, which had been clean before, had become tattered and covered with dust and sand. Her hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, with a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead by sweat.
Suddenly, a dull thunder rumbled from the sky, like the roar of an ancient beast. The originally clear sky was instantly covered by thick dark clouds, and the whole world seemed to have fallen into darkness.
"Damn, is it going to rain heavily?" Lin Xiao looked up at the sky in horror, his heart filled with uneasiness.
The big raindrops began to fall, splashing small water drops on the sand. Lin Xiao was instantly soaked, and she couldn't help shivering.
"This horrible weather is really unbearable!" She complained while looking around for a place to hide.
At this moment, her eyes were attracted by a dilapidated castle looming in the distance. The castle looked gloomy and terrifying in the wind, sand and rain, as if it hid countless secrets and dangers.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but thinking that it was better than getting wet in the rain in the wilderness, he took a deep breath and ran towards the castle.
When she finally ran to the gate of the castle, she was already out of breath. She pushed open the heavy door with force, and a stale and decayed smell hit her in the face.
"What's that smell? It's so awful!" Lin Xiao covered his nose with his hand and walked into the castle carefully.
The hall was dark and damp, and the torches on the wall swayed in the wind and rain, flickering a faint and strange light. Lin Xiao's footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and seemed particularly clear.
"Tick, tick..." The sound of dripping water came from the dark corner, as if it was the countdown of time.
Lin Xiao's heartbeat quickened rapidly. She clenched the dagger in her hand and looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed past her from behind, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
"Who?" Lin Xiao turned around suddenly, his eyes filled with fear and anger.
However, there was nothing behind him except darkness.
"Don't play tricks on me. Come out and confront me if you have the guts!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the empty hall.
At this time, her forehead was covered with sweat and her hands were trembling slightly due to nervousness.
At this moment, a gloomy voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, you shouldn't come here... This is the territory of death."
Lin Xiao's face turned pale instantly. She swallowed and said calmly, "Don't scare me. I'm not afraid!"
