Chapter 438: The Shocking Secret in the Castle
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood at the eerie entrance of the castle. The cool and damp air that hit them made them shiver. Lin Xiao stuck close to Mo Yu and said in a trembling voice, "Mo Yu, I'm really scared. Why don't we not go in?"
Mo Yu looked back at her, his eyes full of determination and tenderness: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."
They walked slowly into the castle, taking every step with extreme caution. The sound of dripping water was particularly clear in the silence, as if it was a countdown to death.
Suddenly, a huge bat flew over their heads, and Lin Xiao screamed in fright. Mo Yu quickly held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's just a bat."
As they continued to move forward, some strange portraits began to appear on the surrounding walls. The characters in the paintings had empty eyes, as if they were telling of endless pain. Lin Xiao did not dare to look directly at the portraits and buried his head in Mo Yu's arms.
"Mo Yu, these paintings are so scary." Lin Xiao's voice was filled with tears.
Mo Yu frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger. Just then, a heavy sound of footsteps came from the front.
"Who?" Mo Yu shouted loudly.
The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. Lin Xiao's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
They walked cautiously towards the direction of the footsteps and saw a figure sitting in a dark corner.
"Who are you?" Mo Yu asked vigilantly.
The figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face, "I am the guardian of this castle."
Lin Xiao was surprised and said: "Guardian? Then why are you here?"
The guardian smiled slightly, with endless weirdness in his smile: "Because there is a shocking secret hidden here, and your arrival is destined to reveal this secret."
Mo Yu said: "What secret?"
The guardian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "A secret about immortality and curse."
Lin Xiao asked in confusion: "Eternal life and curse? What does this have to do with us?"
The guardian stood up, emitting a powerful aura: "Because you have the key to unlocking the curse."
As he spoke, the guardian suddenly attacked, and a black light came towards Lin Xiao and Mo Yu. Mo Yu reacted quickly and pulled Lin Xiao away.
"What are you doing?" Mo Yu shouted angrily.
The guardian sneered: "Only if you pass the test can you leave here alive."
A fierce battle broke out instantly. Mo Yu used powerful spells to fight the guardian to the death. Lin Xiao watched anxiously, but could not help.
During the battle, Mo Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage and suffered multiple injuries.
"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao was extremely anxious.
At this moment, Lin Xiao discovered the Guardian's weakness. She shouted, "Mo Yu, attack his back!"
Mo Yu heard Lin Xiao's cry and attacked the Guardian's back with all his might. The Guardian was unable to dodge and was hit by Mo Yu.
"Ah!" The guardian screamed and fell to the ground.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, an even more terrifying roar came from deep within the castle.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao's face turned even paler.
The guardian said with difficulty: "That is a cursed demon. You are in big trouble..."
