Chapter 400: "A Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Escape from Despair"
Lin Xiao was in that mysterious valley, surrounded by thick milk-like fog like a huge net, covering the whole world tightly. The cold moonlight seemed to be swallowed up by the fog, and could only shine a few faint rays through the gaps between the branches and leaves. The mottled light and shadow swayed on the ground, like a ghost dancing a weird dance.
Lin Xiao frowned so tightly that it looked like she could pinch a fly to death. Her eyes were full of vigilance and anxiety, like a frightened deer. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails dug deep into her palms, but she was unaware.
"What the hell is this place? It feels so spooky, is there anything deadly there?" Lin Xiao muttered to himself with a trembling voice, his teeth chattering, "Why am I so unlucky to travel to such a lousy place!"
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind whistled past, and the sound was like the scream of a ghost, blowing her hair into a mess. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver, and goose bumps appeared all over her body, as if countless small insects were crawling on her body.
At this moment, a low and strange roar came from the distance. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, echoing in this silent valley, making Lin Xiao's eardrums buzz.
"Oh my god! What kind of monster's cry is this? Am I going to die here today?" Lin Xiao's heart instantly rose to his throat and his voice changed.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on the sword in her hand, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight. Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her legs kept shaking like sieves.
"Never mind, I'll die!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and walked towards the direction of the voice with a firm look.
She took every step carefully, and the dead branches and leaves under her feet made a "crunching" sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent environment.
"Damn it, why is the fog so thick? I can't see anything!" Lin Xiao complained while waving his hands in front of his eyes, trying to disperse some of the fog, but the fog was like a naughty child and could not be driven away.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow whizzed past her, bringing with it a cool breeze that made Lin Xiao's bones ache.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear, her voice piercing the night sky. She turned around quickly, her eyes wide open, but there was nothing in front of her except white fog.
"Don't play tricks on me, come out if you have the guts!" Lin Xiao shouted, his voice full of fear and anger.
At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, this is not the place for you to come."
Lin Xiao was so frightened by the sudden voice that he almost collapsed to the ground, "Who are you? Come out! Stop playing tricks here!"
However, there was only her own echo all around her, which floated in the mist and seemed particularly terrifying.
Lin Xiao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground. Her breathing became rapid and her chest rose and fell violently.
"No, I can't be scared like this!" Lin Xiao encouraged himself in his heart.
She continued to walk forward, her steps becoming heavier.
