Chapter 300 Not far from death
The sudden change was like a thunderclap in June, which instantly left everyone present dumbfounded and stunned!
The guards who were originally responsible for protecting safety were now all standing stiffly far away from the river bank, as if they were under a spell.
Their eyes were filled with fear and astonishment, staring intently at the slightly rippling river surface, as if if they looked away for a moment, the ferocious snake would pounce out of the water again.
Under the cool moonlight, the waves on the river rippled gently, shimmering with sparkling light, appearing to be so quiet and peaceful. However, who could have imagined that just a moment ago, a thrilling life-and-death struggle had just taken place here?
The giant snake, whose body was completely pitch black, had already disappeared without a trace. If everyone had not witnessed the cruel scene of it opening its bloody mouth and devouring its companion, no one would have thought that such a creepy and terrible thing was hidden in this seemingly calm river.
Ru Yue was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and even her breathing almost stopped.
At the moment when the giant snake suddenly attacked, Chu Ning'an reacted with extraordinary speed and took the lead to hold her tightly in his arms.
Despite this, Ru Yue was still so frightened that her whole body was trembling, and her heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.
"Sister, are you okay?" A Ling, who had been silently paying attention to the situation outside in the space, keenly noticed the strong panic coming from Ru Yue's heart, and asked hurriedly with concern.
After a long time, Ru Yue came back to her senses as if waking from a dream, but her body was still shaking slightly uncontrollably.
She swallowed hard and murmured in a nearly broken voice, "I... I'm fine." After a long moment, she still seemed unable to fully accept what was happening before her eyes. She continued in disbelief, "Is that... that... is that really a giant snake?"
"Sister, don't be afraid. This guy just looks scary." As soon as A Ling said that nonchalantly, Ru Yue who was standing beside her was shocked and trembled all over.
Her eyes widened in horror as she thought of the huge monster that had appeared earlier. She kept muttering to herself, "This thing is not just scary! This thing can eat people!"
Ru Yue pursed her lips tightly and couldn't say a word, but the fear and doubt in her heart surged like a tide.
A Ling seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. Even if Ru Yue didn't speak, he could sense what she was thinking in some special way.
Ah Ling frowned slightly, lowered her voice, and gently soothed, "Sister, if my judgment is correct, this giant snake must be the legendary Tai Chi Yin Snake. Usually, as long as it is within a hundred feet, there will inevitably be a corresponding Yang Snake."
At this point, A Ling paused for a moment, leaving the audience in suspense, before continuing, "In ancient times, it was said that on the banks of Yinshan Mountain and Yangshui River, there lived a pair of peculiar snakes. They were called the Yin and Yang Snakes, and they lived coiled next to each other.
From their birth, these two snakes were destined to live in a state of inseparable yin and yang. If they were separated by more than a hundred feet, they would inevitably die. Furthermore, they were a pair of mortal enemies, and if they met, they would engage in a fierce battle until one of them was dead. Therefore, they were collectively known as the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Snakes.
The Yin Snake is the most sinister and cold creature in the world, its venom so intense it terrifies. Anyone who carelessly touches one of these snakes will either become its food or be consumed by its venom, ultimately killing them. In stark contrast, the Yang Snake is inherently timid and cowardly, fleeing at the mere sound of a human. Unless faced with a life-or-death situation, a Yang Snake will never release its venom. However, once its venom is depleted, the Yang Snake's life is over.
What is even more amazing is that if one can obtain the venom of both Yin snakes and Yang snakes at the same time and skillfully mix them, one can harmonize the Yin and Yang energies of the human body, thereby achieving the miraculous effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body.
For a long time, people have always believed that Yin Snake and Yang Snake are just legends. No one believes that there are really two contradictory creatures in the world.
When Emperor Shennong tirelessly traveled across mountains and rivers, tasting countless herbs, he also spent a lot of energy searching for them, but in the end he found nothing. After all, Yin snakes and Yang snakes depend on each other for survival and death.
After hearing these words, Ru Yue gradually calmed down.
She began to carefully consider the information Ah Ling had conveyed to her. Suddenly, as if enlightenment had dawned on her, she suddenly exclaimed, "Ah Ling, are you saying that there's more than just this giant snake here?"
A Ling's response flashed through Ru Yue's mind: "If my guess is correct, it should be like this."
The voice seemed to reveal a hint of joy that was hard to conceal, but unfortunately Ru Yue was still immersed in the thrilling swallowing scene just now and did not notice the abnormality.
"Oh my God! Just this one is so terrifying. If there is another one, I'm afraid even if all our lives are lost here, it will still be far from enough to fill their teeth!" Although Ru Yue did not speak, her pretty face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and her expression was extremely ugly.
With the help of the moonlight as clear as water, Chu Ning'an finally found Ru Yue's figure.
When he saw the deep fear on her face, his heart tightened involuntarily. He rushed forward and pulled Ru Yue tightly to his side.
His deep and bright eyes stared straight into Ru Yue's eyes. He said nothing, but the concern in his eyes was self-evident.
Ru Yue was communicating with A Ling through some special method and was completely unaware of Chu Ning'an's approach. Therefore, when she was suddenly pulled into Chu Ning'an's arms, she couldn't help but rush forward and threw herself directly into Chu Ning'an's warm and solid embrace.
Ru Yue quickly came to her senses and saw through the worry in Chu Ning'an's eyes.
She gently shook her head at Chu Ning'an, using her eyes to tell him that she was safe and sound and that he didn't need to worry too much. She took the initiative to reach out her hand, intertwining her fingers with Chu Ning'an's, and clasping them tightly, hoping that this gesture would make him feel more at ease.
"Sister, don't be afraid! I see, your great fortune is about to come!" A Ling's tone was filled with joy that was hard to conceal, and that joy was even stronger than discovering a rare treasure!
She was keenly aware of Aling's unusual cheerfulness, as if he had encountered some great joy.
She hurriedly asked, "A Ling, are you sure you can tame this giant python?"
However, just as she thought of this, a more serious problem suddenly flashed through her mind - even if A Ling really had the ability to subdue this behemoth, now everyone here is Wu'an Hou's men, and such a big move cannot be concealed. But if this matter is known to these people, then the biggest secret she has been hiding will probably be exposed!
By then, the only fate waiting for her would undoubtedly be death...
