Chapter 749: The Yellow River Snake Girl (Final Chapter)
A thick, sickening black mist erupted from the enraged snake woman's shadow. The mist swirled and surged like a substance, like an evil force pouring from the depths of hell, framing her enormous, monstrous form even more menacingly. Lin Yu's heart sank as he watched this scene, a sense of crisis washing over him like an unprecedented tide. He knew that after the attack, the snake woman had already unleashed even more powerful and deadly tactics. "Everyone, be careful! It looks like this snake woman is about to unleash her ultimate attack. Stay alert and be ready to respond!" Lin Yu shouted at the top of his lungs, gripping his weapons tightly. Sweat dripped down his arms, soaking his palms.
The snake woman's shadowy maw opened wide and unleashed a deafening roar. The sound seemed to pierce the soul, like a sharp steel needle, piercing everyone's eardrums, causing them to feel dizzy and the air around them to tremble violently, as if the entire world was crumbling beneath the roar. With this roar, the already surging Yellow River, like a powerful bomb, instantly plunged into a frenzy. The river churned violently, nearly uncontrollably. The once regular waves instantly transformed into massive tidal waves several feet high, like enraged beasts, crashing towards the shore. The waves crashed into each other, making a dull, heart-shaking sound, as if the earth were groaning in pain.
"Get cover!" Lin Yu had barely finished his words when a massive wave crashed against the shore, sending up a torrential downpour of water. Everyone scrambled for cover. Ouyang Zhenghao sprinted toward a nearby boulder, his feet sending dust flying under his feet. However, just as he was about to reach the boulder, a powerful current suddenly rushed over, sending him stumbling and nearly falling. Lin Yu quickly hid behind a sturdy tree, which swayed violently under the impact of the huge waves, as if it would be uprooted at any moment.
The snake girl took advantage of this gap and launched another attack. Its tail was like a black lightning, carrying the power of destroying the world, and it lashed towards Lin Yu. Lin Yu couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the snake's tail on the shoulder. He felt a huge impact and flew out like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground. He felt a piercing pain in his shoulder, as if countless steel needles were piercing him at the same time. "Lin Yu!" Seeing this, Ouyang Zhenghao was anxious and ran towards Lin Yu desperately. His eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and there was only one thought in his mind: he must save Lin Yu.
At that moment, the snake woman's shadow turned its sights on Ouyang Zhenghao, its tail raised high once more, poised to deliver a fatal blow. Ouyang Zhenghao's heart sank, realizing he had no time to dodge. He could only close his eyes in despair, awaiting the terrifying moment. However, at this critical moment, a strange and dazzling light suddenly shot up from the depths of the Yellow River, instantly enveloping the snake woman's shadow. This light, like a brilliant star suddenly descending upon the earth, emanated a gentle yet powerful force, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness. The snake woman's shadow let out a painful howl, struggling frantically in the light, its body twisted and deformed as if in immense pain. Everyone watched in amazement, filled with confusion and shock, wondering what had happened.
Lin Yu endured the severe pain in his shoulder, forced himself to stand up, and looked at the light, his heart full of doubts: "What is going on with this light? Is there some secret hidden under the Yellow River? What is the connection between this light and the snake girl?" Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but he could not find a reasonable explanation.
The light grew stronger, and the snake woman's shadowy figure gradually became blurred in the light. At this moment, a deep and ancient voice echoed in everyone's mind: "Don't disturb her peace anymore..." The voice seemed to come from the ancient time tunnel, carrying endless vicissitudes and mystery, and every word seemed to strike heavily on everyone's heart.
Lin Yu's heart moved and he shouted loudly: "Who are you? Why are you stopping us? What's going on with this snake woman?" He urgently wanted to know the truth behind all this and didn't want to be troubled by this layer of fog anymore.
The voice was silent for a moment, as if pondering its response. Then, it slowly spoke, "I am the guardian of the Yellow River. This snake woman is a creature nurtured by the Yellow River and has inhabited these waters for thousands of years. Human overdevelopment in recent years has destroyed her habitat. Sewage discharge and overfishing have made her living environment even more deplorable. This is why she has become so enraged that she is issuing this warning to humanity." There was a hint of helplessness and a sigh in the voice, as if telling a sad story.
Lin Yu suddenly realized what was happening, and a wave of guilt welled up in his heart. He said, "We have no intention of harming her. We simply want to find out the truth and free the people along the coast from fear. Is there any way to restore her peace? We are willing to do everything we can to make amends."
The voice sounded again: "You must find a mysterious stone near the source of the Yellow River. That stone is the key to maintaining the balance between her and the Yellow River. Returning it to its place may calm her wrath. However, the search will not be easy, and there will be many dangers along the way."
Lin Yu and his team members exchanged glances, seeing determination in each other's eyes. Lin Yu said firmly, "Okay, we'll go now. No matter how difficult it is, we must try, for the peace of the Yellow River and for the people along its banks."
After an arduous search, they journeyed upstream along the Yellow River, traversed desolate gorges, climbed steep and precipitous mountains, and endured hunger and exhaustion. Finally, they found the mysterious stone in a hidden cave near the source of the Yellow River. The stone emanated a soft glow, its surface covered in strange patterns that seemed to tell an ancient story.
After they carefully replaced the stone, the Yellow River gradually calmed down, its turbulent waves receding as if everything had returned to its former tranquility. The snake woman's shadow also slowly vanished, leaving behind only a quiet and peaceful Yellow River. From then on, strange incidents along the Yellow River ceased to occur, and the villagers returned to their former peaceful lives, fishing and working on the river once again, their faces filled with happy smiles.
The members of the 749th Division, with a reverent respect for nature and a spirit of exploration into the unknown, continue to protect this land.
