749: Crisis at the Giant Python Peak of Sanqing Mountain (Part 2)
After the first needle was successfully inserted, a strange wave of energy spread across Giant Python Peak like ripples. The surrounding air seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, emitting a dull hum. Lin Yu and the others stood at the point where the needle had been inserted, feeling the surge of this mysterious power, but they felt no sense of relief. Instead, a heavier, oppressive atmosphere hung over everyone's heart like a dark cloud.
Lin Yu stared at the slightly trembling mountain, his brows twisted into a deep "川" character, and thought to himself: "This is just the first step. I wonder what kind of terrible changes will be caused by the subsequent 25 steel needles being inserted. The secret of this Giant Python Peak is far more complicated and dangerous than we imagined." He knew very well that the insertion of each steel needle was like challenging the bottom line of this mysterious mountain. If he was not careful, it might cause a catastrophe.
Ouyang Zhenghao looked at Lin Yu, trying to ease the tension. He grinned and said, "Hey, Lin Yu, we successfully drove one in. It was a bit dangerous, but at least it's a good start." However, his smile seemed a little forced, and his eyes still revealed a hint of unconcealable worry. In fact, he knew in his heart that this was just the beginning, and the road ahead would be full of thorns.
The team continued their arduous journey up Giant Python Peak, their surroundings becoming increasingly eerie. The once solid rock became as soft as dough, and with every step, the ground beneath their feet could be felt wiggling slightly, as if the entire mountain had come to life. In the sky, dark clouds grew thicker, like a vast black curtain, ready to swallow them all. Occasionally, eerie flashes of lightning flashed across, illuminating the twisted rock formations on the peak. They looked like faces twisted in agony, silently roaring at the group.
"Lin Yu, why do I feel like this mountain seems to come alive? The ground shaking under my feet is giving me goosebumps." A team member said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he dared not move easily.
Lin Yu patted his team members on the shoulders and comforted them, "Don't be afraid. Now that we have come here, we can't retreat. Everyone stay alert and pay attention to the movements around you." In fact, he himself was also full of anxiety, but as the captain, he had to give his team members confidence.
As they went deeper, a mist appeared ahead. This mist was an eerie purple, like the eyes of a demon, emitting a pungent, sickening odor. From within the mist, a low, growling sound could be heard, as if countless ferocious beasts were roaming within.
Lin Yu took out a detector and tried to detect the composition and energy fluctuations in the fog. The data on the detector screen jumped wildly, making a rapid "beeping" sound, indicating that the fog contained powerful and chaotic energy. These energies seemed to be corrosive and confusing.
"This fog is very dangerous. It may cause harm to us and may also interfere with our judgment. Everyone must be careful, follow me closely, and don't get separated." Lin Yu said solemnly.
At that moment, a massive figure slowly emerged from the mist. It resembled a giant wild boar, but its body was covered in a layer of black scales, gleaming with an eerie sheen in the mist. Its eyes were like two giant fireballs, emitting a fiery red light. Its tusks, half a meter long, gleamed with a cold light, as if they could easily tear apart anything that stood in its way.
"What...what kind of monster is this?" Ouyang Zhenghao shouted in surprise, unconsciously clenching the weapon in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Lin Yu quickly analyzed the situation, knowing full well that this monster wasn't a good person. "Everyone, listen up! This monster is massive and incredibly powerful. We can't just fight it head-on. Ouyang Zhenghao, lead a few team members to attract its attention from the left. The others and I will attack its weak points from the right. Remember, be careful and don't take risks lightly."
Ouyang Zhenghao nodded, then led several of his team members to rush to the monster's left. As they ran, they shouted loudly, trying to attract the monster's attention. Sure enough, the monster was attracted by them, roared, turned, and rushed towards Ouyang Zhenghao and his group. As it ran, the ground shook, as if there was a small earthquake.
Seeing this, Lin Yu led the other team members to quickly flank the monster from the right. While engaging the monster, Lin Yu discovered that while its scales were tough, there was a relatively soft area beneath its belly that wasn't protected by scales. He seized the opportunity and shouted to his team members, "Attack its belly! That's its weak spot! But be careful to avoid its attacks."
The team members launched attacks towards the monster's abdomen, stabbing it with various weapons. The monster felt the pain in its abdomen, roared angrily, turned and pounced on Lin Yu and the others. It was extremely fast and arrived in front of them in an instant, its huge body pressing down on them like a mountain.
In the fierce battle, the monster attacked with extreme ferocity, its fangs and claws waving constantly, creating a powerful gust of air. One team member was accidentally scratched by the monster's claws, and blood immediately gushed out. Lin Yu looked at the injured team member, anxious and worried: "Everyone, hold on! We can't let our teammates get hurt in vain. We must defeat this monster!"
Just as everyone was beginning to feel overwhelmed, Ouyang Zhenghao suddenly noticed that the monster's movements were slightly slow every time it turned, and that the joints of its hind legs seemed to be a key weakness. With an idea in mind, he shouted to Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, attack its hind leg joints! This may be the key to defeating it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu seized the moment the monster turned and rushed towards its hind legs like a flash of black lightning. He leaped high and fiercely stabbed the monster's hind leg joint with his weapon. With a painful roar, the monster's hind leg joint was successfully hit. Its body swayed several times and it almost fell to the ground.
