Chapter 405: "Exploring the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Journey of Life and Death"
Lin Xiao stood alone at the entrance of the mysterious ruins, surrounded by a gloomy and terrifying jungle. Tall trees stood like giants, with branches and leaves intertwined, almost completely covering the sky. Faint light penetrated through the gaps between the leaves with difficulty, forming strange light and shadows. The wind shuttled through the forest, making a gloomy "woohoo" sound, as if it was a sad cry from ancient times.
Lin Xiao's heart was beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of her throat. She held the shining sword tightly with both hands, and her palms were full of sweat, so that the hilt was a little slippery.
"This damn place is so creepy! But I, Lin Xiao, will not back down!" Lin Xiao bit his lip and cheered himself up, but his eyes revealed a hint of nervousness that was hard to conceal.
She carefully lifted her foot and stepped onto the stone slab at the entrance of the ruins. The stone slab made a dull creaking sound, as if protesting against her intrusion as an uninvited guest.
Lin Xiao's eyes were fixed on the walls around him, on which were engraved some strange and confusing symbols and patterns.
"What is this? It feels like the code of aliens!" Lin Xiao frowned, looking confused.
Suddenly, a low and intimidating roar came from the depths of the ruins. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul, causing Lin Xiao's body to tense up instantly.
"Oh no, something's happening!" Lin Xiao's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
At this moment, a gigantic monster suddenly jumped out from the darkness. This monster was as big as a mountain, covered with iron-hard scales, and flashed a chilling cold light in the dim light. Its eyes were like burning fireballs, emitting a ferocious red light.
"Oh my God!" Lin Xiao screamed in fright, and involuntarily took several steps back, almost falling to the ground.
The monster opened its bloody mouth, revealing fangs as sharp as knives, and a pungent fishy smell hit the face.
"Don't come over here!" Lin Xiao raised his sword, his voice trembling but firm.
The monster didn't care about that. It pounced forward, creating a gust of wind. Lin Xiao dodged to the side, as agile as a monkey.
"Hmph, it's not that easy to catch me!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
However, the monster's attacks came one after another, and Lin Xiao could only dodge continuously, with beads of sweat already covering his forehead.
"This guy is too difficult to deal with!" Lin Xiao panted and groaned in his heart.
Just when Lin Xiao was in trouble and felt a little helpless, she suddenly discovered a weakness in the monster.
"Now!" A trace of determination flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. She clenched her teeth and used all her strength to stab at the monster's weak point.
The sword collided with the monster's scales, splashing a string of sparks. The monster roared in pain, and the sound echoed in the ruins, making Lin Xiao's ears buzz.
The monster fell to the ground, struggling constantly and raising a cloud of dust.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to sit down to rest for a while when he heard a faint sound of footsteps. The footsteps were so light that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't notice them at all.
"Who?" Lin Xiao became nervous again. She gripped her sword tightly and looked around vigilantly.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lin Xiao's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
"Who is it? Come out now!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
