Chapter 493: Domineering Counterattack
Lin Xiao stood alone in the barren desert, the strong wind whipped her like thousands of whips, the dust swept over her and hit her face painfully. Her eyes were so blinded by the sand that she could barely open them. She could only squint and cursed: "Fuck, what kind of weather is this? God is against me!"
She held the sword tightly in her hand, and the hilt was slightly hot from her grip. Lin Xiao's hair fluttered wildly in the wind, like a mess of thatch. She gritted her teeth, raised her head with difficulty, and looked at the mysterious castle in the distance, her heart full of doubts and vigilance.
"This shabby place exudes an evil aura no matter how you look at it!" Lin Xiao muttered as he walked towards the castle, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and the originally blazing sun was instantly covered by rolling dark clouds, as if it had suddenly fallen from day to night. The temperature around him also dropped sharply, causing Lin Xiao to shiver.
"The weather changes so quickly, even faster than turning the pages of a book!" Lin Xiao frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
At this moment, a low and terrifying roar came from the direction of the castle. The sound seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, shaking the ground slightly.
Lin Xiao's eyes instantly became determined. She took a deep breath and said loudly, "No matter what it is, I, Lin Xiao, will go find out today!"
She took firm steps, struggling forward in the soft sand. With every step, her feet would sink halfway into the sand, and it took a huge effort to pull them out.
"Oh, this damn sand is so annoying!" Lin Xiao complained while shaking off the sand on his feet.
After a difficult journey, Lin Xiao finally arrived at the gate of the castle. The two huge iron doors slowly opened, and a pungent smell instantly hit him. The smell was like a mixture of rotting corpses and moldy food, which made people nauseous.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, his brows twisted into a big knot, and said: "What is this smell? It can suffocate people to death!"
She walked into the castle carefully. It was dark inside, with only a few flickering oil lamps emitting a faint light. Those lights flickered in the darkness, as if they would go out at any time.
"Is anyone there?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the empty castle, but there was no response.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed by her from behind like a ghost, bringing with it a gust of eerie cold wind.
"Who?" Lin Xiao turned around abruptly, the sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and he looked around vigilantly, but saw nothing.
"Stop playing tricks and come out now!" Lin Xiao shouted angrily, his voice full of anger and fearlessness.
At this moment, a gloomy voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, you shouldn't come here. This is a place of death. If you come in, don't think about leaving alive."
Lin Xiao snorted coldly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile, and said: "Don't scare me here, this girl was not brought up to be scared!"
“Hahahaha…” the voice laughed wildly, “You are an ignorant girl. You will soon know what it feels like to be afraid.”
Lin Xiao held her sword tightly and walked forward cautiously step by step. Her heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent castle, and every beat seemed to strike her nervous nerves.
Suddenly, a huge bat flew over her head, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
"Ah!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but scream, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Hmph, you think you can scare me with just a bat?" Lin Xiao quickly calmed down and continued to move forward.
As she walked, she came to a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone table, which was piled with all kinds of strange objects.
Lin Xiao walked forward curiously, wanting to see what those items were.
At this moment, the stone table suddenly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao was blinded by the sudden light.
As the light gradually disappeared, Lin Xiao found a mysterious figure appearing in front of him.
