Chapter 421: Dawn and Abyss in the Darkness
After the light faded, before Lin Xiao and the man could breathe a sigh of relief, the scene around them changed again in a shocking way. The mysterious room instantly turned into a barren desert, and the scorching sun burned their skin mercilessly.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
The man frowned and said solemnly: "It seems that the power of the curse is far beyond our imagination. I am afraid there is a deeper crisis hidden here."
Lin Xiao bit her lip and looked at the man firmly: "No matter what, we must find a way out!"
Just as they were about to move forward, a strong wind came howling, blowing up dust all over the sky, forming a huge sandstorm that swept towards them.
Lin Xiao and the man struggled to stand firm in the strong wind, supporting each other. The man cast a spell to try to resist the invasion of the sandstorm, but the force was too strong and they were gradually blown away by the strong wind.
After an unknown amount of time, when the wind and sand finally stopped, they found themselves in an ancient town. The town was silent and lifeless, and the houses were dilapidated, as if they had experienced a huge disaster.
Lin Xiao walked carefully into a room filled with strange instruments and yellowed books. Just as she was about to take a closer look, a dark shadow passed by her from behind.
"Who?" Lin Xiao turned around vigilantly, but saw nothing.
The man followed in, and the two looked at each other, feeling more uneasy.
They continued to explore the town, and suddenly heard a melodious flute sound. The flute sound was like a dream, as if it had some kind of magic, attracting them to walk towards the direction of the sound involuntarily.
After passing through narrow streets, they came to a square. In the center of the square, a mysterious man in a black robe was playing the flute.
Lin Xiao walked forward and asked loudly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The mysterious man stopped playing and slowly raised his head, revealing a face covered by shadows: "I am the guide of fate. Your arrival has long been destined."
The man said, "What do you mean? Can you help us get out of here?"
The mysterious man smiled and did not answer, but blew the flute again. As the flute sounded, the surrounding scene began to change again, and countless ghosts emerged from the ground and rushed towards Lin Xiao and the man.
A fierce battle broke out instantly. The man's magic light intertwined with the ghost's dark power, and Lin Xiao also wielded a dagger and fought bravely. During the battle, Lin Xiao was accidentally injured, and the man was anxious and desperate to block the attack for her.
The relationship between the two gradually warms up in the test of life and death.
Just when they were about to destroy all the ghosts, the mysterious man suddenly made a move. A powerful dark force hit the man, and the man fell to the ground, unconscious.
"No!" Lin Xiao rushed towards the mysterious man with grief and anger.
The mysterious man waved his sleeves lightly, and Lin Xiao was bound by an invisible force, unable to move.
"Do you think you can escape the fate? You are too naive!" the mysterious man sneered.
Just when Lin Xiao felt desperate, the jade pendant on her chest suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The mysterious man was enveloped by the light and roared in pain.
Lin Xiao took the opportunity to break free and ran to the man. The light of the jade pendant seemed to have healing power, and the man slowly opened his eyes.
"We must overcome this together!" Lin Xiao held the man's hand and said firmly.
However, they didn't know at this time that a bigger conspiracy was waiting for them...
