749: Crisis at the Giant Python Peak of Sanqing Mountain (Part 2)
After Lin Yu and his team experienced a monster attack at the foot of Giant Python Peak, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. The groans of pain from the injured team members, mixed with the howling mountain wind, weighed heavily on everyone's heart. Lin Yu looked at the exhausted and frightened faces of his team members, his heart filled with worry, but he knew that at this moment, he had to remain calm and give everyone confidence.
"Is everyone okay? We can't be intimidated by this attack. There are more difficult tasks waiting for us. Let's take care of the wounds first and move on as soon as possible." Lin Yu tried his best to make his voice sound firm and strong.
The team members nodded, swallowing the pain and bandaging each other's wounds. As Ouyang Zhenghao tended to the wound on his arm, he cursed softly, "This awful place is already so tough right from the start. Who knows how many monsters and demons await us later." His eyes revealed a hint of anger and resentment, still haunted by the previous battle, but even more so by worry about the upcoming mission.
After treating the wound, the group set out again to find the next needle insertion point. At this moment, Giant Python Peak seemed shrouded in an even more mysterious and terrifying atmosphere. The already rugged mountain path now seemed even more winding. The rocks along the roadside seemed to have been twisted by some evil force, taking on all sorts of bizarre shapes. Some resembled snarling demons, others resembled human faces twisted in agony, as if telling the terrifying story of the mountain's past.
Lin Yu held the detector, his brow furrowed, his eyes fixed on the data ticking continuously. The detector emitted a faint beeping sound, as if struggling helplessly in the darkness. "Everyone, pay attention! The energy fluctuations around here are becoming increasingly chaotic, as if countless forces are colliding with each other. Be extremely cautious with every step you take. Deadly danger may lurk somewhere." Lin Yu's voice was low and serious, echoing through the silent mountains and sending a chill through everyone.
As they approached the first needle insertion point, the temperature around them plummeted, as if they had stepped from the warmth of the human world into an ice cellar. The team members' breath instantly condensed into a white mist. They pulled their clothes tighter, trying to ward off the sudden chill, but the chill still seeped into their bones.
"The temperature has dropped so drastically. It feels like something is targeting us on purpose." A team member said with chattering teeth, his body shivering in the cold wind.
Ouyang Zhenghao rubbed his red, frozen hands and said, "Hmph, no matter what it is, we can't be afraid. Wait until we find the entry point, insert the needle, and see what it can do." Although he spoke firmly, he also felt a little fear of the unknown cold in his heart.
Finally, they found the first insertion point. It was a depression halfway up Giant Python Peak. The surrounding rocks were a strange dark red, as if stained countless times with blood, emitting a faint fishy odor. The intricate texture of the rock in the depression resembled some ancient and mysterious formation, or a twisted, ghostly face, casting a sinister expression upon the group.
Lin Yu squatted down and carefully examined the location, thinking to himself: "There is an indescribable weirdness in this place. It seems that the insertion of the first steel needle will not be so smooth. I wonder what terrible thing is waiting for us." His hand gently touched the rock, and he could feel a hint of chill coming from the surface of the rock, as if a cold force was trying to penetrate his palm.
Just as they were about to insert the special steel needles, a sharp whistling sound suddenly emanated from the mountaintop, like the roar of some gigantic creature. Then, a dark shadow flashed over their heads like lightning, bringing with it a powerful gust of air that blew them all over the place.
"What is that thing?" Ouyang Zhenghao struggled to stand up and shouted loudly, but his voice was mostly drowned out by the whistling wind.
Lin Yu quickly looked up and saw a massive figure looming in the dark clouds. He couldn't make out its exact form, but he could sense a powerful, sinister aura bearing down on him, sending shivers down his spine. "Everyone, be careful! This might be one of the mysterious forces causing the anomalies on Giant Python Peak!" Lin Yu shouted to his team, quickly drawing his weapons and preparing for battle. His heartbeat raced, his nerves on edge, unsure of what kind of terror he was about to face.
The dark figure circled the sky several times before swooping down again. This time, they finally saw its true form: a gigantic, monstrous bird, its wingspan stretching over ten meters. Its feathers were as black as ink, shimmering with an eerie luster, as if each feather held a dark power. Its eyes burned like flames, emitting a bloodthirsty light that seemed to penetrate the fears of the crowd. Its beak was sharp and curved, like a razor-sharp sickle, gleaming with a cold gleam, leaving no doubt that it could easily tear through any prey.
"What...what kind of monster is this?" a team member shouted in horror, the weapon in his hand trembled unconsciously, and fear surged into his heart like a tide.
Lin Yu quickly analyzed the situation, knowing full well that this strange bird wasn't a good thing. He needed to devise a countermeasure quickly. "Everyone, stay calm! Maintain a defensive formation! Follow my instructions and don't attack blindly! This strange bird is incredibly fast. We can't disperse. Concentrate all our forces to deal with its attack," Lin Yu shouted, trying to calm the team members and also to encourage himself. He knew that in such an extremely dangerous situation, panicking would lead to death.
The strange bird roared and rushed towards the group. Its claws were like sharp sickles, flashing with a cold light, and it grabbed at the team members. Lin Yu saw the opportunity and shouted loudly, "Scatter!" The team members quickly dispersed, and the strange bird's attack missed. But it did not give up, quickly turning around and attacking again. This time, the strange bird seemed to be targeting Lin Yu. It rushed towards Lin Yu like a black lightning, with a speed that made it impossible for people to react.
