Chapter 480 "The Decision at the Peak of the Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Crossroads of Fate"
Lin Xiao stood alone in front of the mysterious palace, surrounded by thick fog that seemed to squeeze out water, making people feel as if they were in an illusory dream. She widened her eyes, her eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment, her brows were tightly twisted into a "川" shape, and she kept muttering to herself: "Where on earth is this place? Why did I end up here for no reason?" As she spoke, she stamped her feet hard, looking like a little rabbit that had lost its way, anxious and helpless.
At this moment, the huge and ancient door of the palace slowly opened, making a dull "creaking" sound, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. A force so strong that it was almost unsteady surged out from the door, almost knocking Lin Xiao to the ground.
"Oh my god!" Lin Xiao screamed, staggered a few steps, and waved her hands in the air, finally able to stabilize her body. She was gasping for breath, her face was pale, and her heart was in her throat.
She carefully raised her foot and stepped into the palace. As soon as she entered, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. The interior of the palace was magnificent, and the walls were inlaid with various exotic gems. Those gems sparkled with dazzling light, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day.
"Wow, this is too luxurious! How much is it worth?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, unable to close at all.
Suddenly, a mysterious and deep voice echoed in the palace. The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, and it seemed to ring right beside Lin Xiao's ears: "Lin Xiao, you are finally here."
Lin Xiao was frightened by the sudden voice and trembled all over. "Who? Who is talking? Come out if you have the guts, don't play tricks there!" She shouted loudly and looked around nervously, her eyes full of fear and vigilance.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to make a choice." The voice continued, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in its tone.
Lin Xiao widened her eyes, looking confused, "Choice? What choice? Just tell me clearly!" Her voice became a little sharp because of nervousness.
"There are two treasure boxes in front of you. One contains a peerless magical skill that can instantly make you an invincible master in the world; the other contains the key to go home, which can allow you to return to your original world immediately. But you can only choose one." The voice said slowly, as if deliberately whetting Lin Xiao's appetite.
Lin Xiao looked at the two treasure boxes emitting mysterious light in front of her, and her heart was in extreme entanglement. Her eyes moved back and forth between the two treasure boxes, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"This... How should I choose?" Lin Xiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing in place. She held her head with both hands and kept muttering: "If I choose the magic skill, I can walk sideways in this world, and I am not afraid of any monsters. But if I can never go home, what will happen to my family and friends? If I choose the key to go home, I can't bear to give up this peerless magic skill. What should I do if I encounter danger again in the future?"
As time passed, Lin Xiao became more and more troubled. The mysterious voice sounded again, with a hint of impatience in its tone: "Make a choice quickly, time is running out."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I...I choose the key to go home!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire palace began to shake violently, and the gems on the wall fell one after another, making a crackling sound. The light around them also began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, making people feel dizzy.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao screamed in horror, her voice changing tone.
Suddenly, a black shadow sprang out from the darkness like lightning and pounced towards Lin Xiao. The black shadow was extremely fast, with a sharp sound of wind.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao turned pale with fear and stepped back instinctively. Her heartbeat instantly soared to several hundred beats per minute, and her mind went blank.
Just when the black shadow was about to pounce on Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao got the courage from somewhere, suddenly dodged to the side, and narrowly avoided the attack of the black shadow.
"Who the hell are you? Get out of hiding!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice trembling slightly, but more filled with anger.
The shadow did not answer her, but attacked again. This time, the shadow's movements were more ferocious, as if he wanted to kill Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao dodged left and right, and started a thrilling life-and-death battle with the shadow. Her clothes were torn in several places, and her hair became messy, but her eyes remained firm.
"I won't be defeated by you so easily!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly while panting.
After a fierce fight, Lin Xiao gradually discovered the flaw of the black shadow. She seized the opportunity and kicked the black shadow fiercely.
"Ah!" The black shadow screamed and fell to the ground.
Lin Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief, but found that more dark shadows appeared around her and were slowly approaching her.
