Chapter 487: Lin Xiao's Breakthrough
Lin Xiao was in the eerie castle. The darkness around him seemed to have substance, so thick that it was almost impossible to breathe. The torches on the wall flickered with a faint and strange light, like the last gasp of a dying person. Lin Xiao's heart beat rapidly, as if it was about to break through the restraints of his chest.
"What the hell is this place? How could I be so unlucky to fall into this horrible trap!" Lin Xiao muttered to himself while trembling, tightly gripping the dagger in his hand, his palms full of sweat.
At this moment, a gloomy cold wind like a ghost's tentacle quietly came from the depths of the corridor, bringing with it a creepy chill and a faint strange laughter. The laughter seemed to whisper in her ears and echo in the depths of her mind.
"Oh my god, this is too scary!" Lin Xiao screamed, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back, and his back hit the cold wall heavily.
At this moment, a huge bat whizzed past overhead like a demon in the dark night, bringing with it a strong fishy wind.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao screamed in fear again, her legs softened, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with endless fear.
In the shadows ahead, the hunched-over weirdo slowly walked out. His figure looked distorted and terrifying in the dim firelight, like a demon crawling out from the depths of hell.
The weirdo let out a low and hoarse roar: "Little girl, you have entered a place you shouldn't be in! This is the territory of death and the abyss of despair!"
Lin Xiao suppressed her fear, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. She widened her eyes and shouted, "Who are you? Don't play tricks here! Show your true colors if you dare!"
The weirdo sneered, his voice seemed to come from the underworld: "I am the guardian of this castle, you will never walk out of here alive! Your fate is already determined, that is to become a wronged soul here!"
Lin Xiao glared at him, anger burning in his eyes: "Humph, it's not that easy to stop me! I, Lin Xiao, was not brought up to be scared!"
After saying that, she flashed and rushed towards the weirdo like a bolt of lightning. The dagger in her hand flashed a cold light in the air, carrying her determination and courage.
However, the weirdo dodged her attack easily with an extraordinary speed. His movements were like a ghost, making it hard to predict.
Lin Xiao's heart sank and his brows furrowed. "This guy is not easy to deal with. I have to think of another way!"
Just as she was thinking about countermeasures, a heavy and distant bell sounded suddenly in the castle. The bell sound seemed to have traveled through time and space, carrying endless vicissitudes and mystery.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao's brows were twisted into a knot, his heart full of confusion and anxiety.
Then, the walls around him began to move slowly, making a grinding sound. Stones on the walls fell one after another, as if the whole world was collapsing.
"Not good!" Lin Xiao's face changed drastically and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Is this a trap? I can't just sit there and wait to die!" Lin Xiao clenched his teeth, his brain working rapidly.
She looked around, trying to find something she could use. Suddenly, she found a rusty chain in the corner.
Lin Xiao rushed over, grabbed the chain and pulled it hard.
"Stop!" she yelled.
However, the movement of the wall did not stop, but became faster and faster.
Lin Xiao was extremely anxious, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Am I really going to die here? No, I will never accept that!" A trace of determination flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.
Just then, a thought flashed through her mind.
"Oh, right, I can use the dagger to insert into the gap in the wall to stop it from moving!"
Lin Xiao did what she said and thrust the dagger hard into the crack in the wall.
With a creaking sound, the movement of the wall finally stopped.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the ground.
"That was a close call. I almost died here!"
However, before she could recover, the strange man appeared in front of her again.
"Little girl, do you think you can escape like this? You are too naive!" said the weirdo with a sneer.
Lin Xiao got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from his face, and looked at the weirdo with firm eyes.
"I'm not afraid of you, come on!"
