Chapter 339 Observing the River 4

Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying stood side by side on a towering hill, overlooking the winding river that was like a silver ribbon, shuttling through the lush forest. This was the borderland between the Zerg and the human alliance, a mysterious and dangerous place. Since Lin Zhi accidentally crossed here, he had experienced countless life and death tests, and his deep friendship with Zhang Ying was gradually established during these adventures.

"Brother Linzhi, look at that river, it seems to be telling us an ancient story." There was a hint of awe in Zhang Ying's voice, and his young face was filled with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

Lin Zhi nodded, her eyes deep: "Yes, every river is the blood of the earth, recording the historical changes of this land. I think if we can understand this river in depth, we may be able to find some clues about the secrets of the Zerg world."

Just as the two were lost in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their thoughts. Wang Jun and Wang Kai, the Zerg brothers, ran over in a hurry. They were tall and strong, covered with unique carapaces, shining like metal in the sun.

"Lord Linzhi, Lord Zhang Ying, we have discovered some unusual situations!" There was a hint of nervousness in Wang Jun's voice.

"What's going on?" Lin Zhi turned around quickly and stared at the two brothers sharply.

“An unknown energy fluctuation has appeared in the lower reaches of the river. We are worried that it may pose a threat to nearby villages,” Wang Kai added, his tone revealing his sense of responsibility as a guardian.

Hearing this, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying looked at each other, and a look of determination flashed in each other's eyes. They knew that as travelers, they were not only fighting for their own survival, but also for the peace of all living things on this land.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Zhi gave a decisive order, and the group quickly headed downstream of the river.

On the way, they met four Zerg siblings - Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li. These four siblings each have different abilities and are rare talents among the Zerg. Li? is good at perception, Li Ming is proficient in combat, Li Hua has healing power, and Li Li is good at hiding and tracking. Their joining undoubtedly adds more security to this expedition.

"Brother Linzhi, Brother Zhang Ying, we have also received the news and are preparing to go investigate." Li? spoke first, her voice soft but firm.

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded: "Very good, with you guys coming with us, our chances of winning are better."

The group walked along the winding river and soon came to the place where the energy fluctuations were the strongest. This was an open river valley where the river water gathered into a small lake. A strange light rippled on the lake, as if some unknown power was hidden.

"Everyone be careful, the atmosphere here is very unusual." Zhang Ying reminded in a low voice. His hands were already secretly gathering strength, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

As everyone was watching their surroundings with vigilance, huge ripples suddenly appeared on the lake, and a huge figure slowly rose from the water. It was a huge Zerg creature, huge in size, covered with black scales, and its eyes were like burning flames, revealing endless majesty and power.

"Is this... the legendary river god?" Wang Jun shouted in surprise, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"No, this is not the river god, but a monster controlled by evil forces." Lin Zhi analyzed calmly, with a fighting look in his eyes.

Faced with the sudden crisis, the group quickly took action. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying joined forces to fight the monster, while Wang Jun and Wang Kai were responsible for protecting others from being affected. Li? used his perception ability to find the monster's weaknesses, Li Ming waited for an opportunity to attack, Li Hua was ready to treat the injured companions at any time, and Li Li quietly hid in the dark, looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the monster's power was far beyond everyone's imagination, but with the team's tacit understanding and courage, they gradually found the monster's flaws. Finally, with a subtle coordination, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying jointly launched a fatal attack and completely defeated the monster.

As the monster fell, the light on the lake gradually dissipated, and the valley returned to its former tranquility. Standing by the lake, looking at the lake that had returned to its calm state, the group was filled with the joy of victory and expectations for the future.

"This success is thanks to everyone's joint efforts." Lin Zhi said with emotion, his eyes lingering on everyone, full of gratitude and respect.

"Yes, as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward." Zhang Ying echoed, his face filled with a confident smile.

On this day, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the winding river surface, making it sparkle. Lin Zhi stood on the river bank, observing the flow of the river with sharp eyes, her face full of seriousness and determination. Zhang Ying was debugging the water quality testing equipment brought from another world, trying to find the source of pollution.

"Sister Linzhi, look at the river water, the color is wrong." Wang Jun pointed to a turbid area of ​​water not far away, frowning.

Lin Zhi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, we must find the source of pollution as soon as possible, otherwise this river will completely lose its vitality."

At this time, Li Ming picked up a contaminated stone from the river and handed it to Lin Zhi: "Sister, look at the black substance attached to this stone. Is it one of the sources of pollution?"

Lin Zhi took the stone, observed it carefully, and came up with an idea: "This should be the sediment from some kind of industrial wastewater. We need to go upstream along the river and find the source of this wastewater."

So, the eight people were divided into two groups. Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying, Wang Jun and Li Yi were in charge of exploring upstream along the left bank of the river, while Li Ming, Li Hua, Li Li, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan were in charge of exploring along the right bank of the river. They took dry food and water and embarked on an unknown journey.

Along the way, they encountered various challenges. Sometimes, they needed to cross dense jungles and avoid ferocious beasts; sometimes, they had to climb steep mountains and overcome harsh natural environments. But no matter how great the difficulties were, they did not give up, because they knew that their actions were related to the future of the entire Zerg world.

After several days of arduous journey, the group from Linzhi finally found the source of pollution near an abandoned factory. The factory had been shut down for many years, but the remaining wastewater pipes were still discharging black sewage into the river.

"It seems that this is the source we are looking for." Lin Zhi looked at the dilapidated factory with a determined light in his eyes.

Zhang Ying quickly took out the portable purification device he carried with him and began to try to purify the sewage. However, due to the severe pollution, the purification device was not effective.

"It seems that we need more powerful purification equipment." Zhang Ying frowned and looked at Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and gather more people and equipment to solve this problem completely."

So, the group returned along the same route and brought the news of the pollution source back to the capital of the Zerg world. There, they received great attention and support from the Zerg leaders. Soon, a team of professional environmentalists and engineers was formed, carrying advanced purification equipment, and went to the pollution source for a thorough cleanup.

In that massive river cleanup operation, Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and their Zerg friends all played an indispensable role. They not only used their wisdom and courage to find the source of the pollution, but also proved with practical actions that as long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.

As the river gradually became clear again, the ecological environment of the Zerg world also improved significantly. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying, two travelers from another world, became heroes in the hearts of the Zerg people. Their story, like the river that regained its life, will always flow in every corner of the Zerg world.

Wang Jun, Wang Kai, Li Wei, Li Ming, Li Hua, Li Li and other Zerg brothers and sisters also gained precious friendship and growth in this adventure. They learned courage and persistence in the face of difficulties, and understood the importance of unity and cooperation.

Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying, their brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, and four siblings Li Wei, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, embarked on a journey to the river on the edge of the tribe to observe the safety of the river and ensure that the tribe's water source is not threatened by external threats.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning penetrated the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the stone houses of the Zerg tribe, bringing a touch of warmth to this foreign land. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying wore simple leather armor specially made by the Zerg tribe, holding weapons carefully made by Zerg craftsmen, and set off with their Zerg companions. Wang Jun and Wang Kai walked in front, their tall bodies looked particularly powerful in the morning light, and the four brothers and sisters of the Li family followed closely behind, their eyes full of curiosity and courage about the unknown.

"Brother Lin, Sister Zhang, I heard that wild animals often appear near this river. We must be careful this time." Li Hua, one of the youngest members of the tribe, turned back and said to Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying as she walked. Her voice was clear and pleasant, but she was also alert.

Lin Zhi smiled slightly, patted the quiver on his back, and said confidently: "Don't worry, with me here, those beasts won't dare to approach easily. However, everyone still needs to remain vigilant, after all, this is not our world."

The group walked along the winding path and soon came to the river. The river water was clear and flowing, making a pleasant sound. However, under this peaceful appearance, there was an unknown danger. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying quickly divided the work. Wang Jun and Wang Kai were responsible for the guard on the other side of the river, while Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying took the children of the Li family and searched carefully along the river bank for possible threats.

"Look, there are footprints over there!" Zhang Ying spotted a series of messy footprints on the river bank. She pointed to a bush not far away and motioned for everyone to come closer.

Lin Zhi carefully pushed aside the bushes and saw a huge beast curled up in the bushes, eyes closed, seemingly sleeping. This was a creature he had never seen before, covered with rough gray fur, with sharp fangs sticking out from the corners of its mouth, looking particularly ferocious.

"Everyone stand back, this beast is not simple." Lin Zhi warned in a low voice, while slowly drawing the long sword at his waist, preparing to deal with possible attacks.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the beast suddenly opened its eyes, flashing a bloodthirsty cold light in its eyes. It suddenly leaped and rushed towards Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi reacted quickly, dodged to the side, and swung his sword to cut the beast's flank. The sword flashed, and the beast let out a deafening roar, and blood splattered everywhere.

Zhang Ying immediately assisted, and the dagger in his hand shuttled like a snake, stabbing the beast's vitals accurately. After a fierce fight, the beast finally fell in a pool of blood, motionless.

"That was a close call!" Li Li patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "Thanks to Brother Lin and Sister Zhang, otherwise we would be in danger today."

Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying smiled at each other without saying much. They knew that in this land full of unknowns and dangers, every safe return was the greatest respect for life.

Afterwards, they continued patrolling along the river bank and found no more threats. The sun gradually rose higher, and the sunlight shone on the water, making the waves sparkle and bewitchingly beautiful. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying stood by the river, looking at this peaceful and magnificent scene, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in their hearts.

"Although there are many dangers here, it also has an indescribable beauty." Zhang Ying said softly, his eyes gently sweeping over every inch of the scenery.

Lin Zhi nodded vigorously, indicating that she fully agreed with what the other party said. Her bright and firm eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles and fogs, and looked straight into the distance. She nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Yes, it is true! As long as we can unite closely, think in one direction and work in one direction, then there will be no difficulties in this world that can defeat us. Because the power we have does not only come from individuals, but also from the cohesion and centripetal force of the entire group! Whether it is for the tribe on which we depend for survival, or for each of us in it, we must make our hearts become extremely strong. Only in this way, when faced with all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, can we not retreat, but move forward bravely, and finally overcome all challenges and usher in the dawn of victory that belongs to us!"

As the sun rose high in the sky, the group set out on their journey home. They returned to the Zerg tribe with the assurance that the river was safe and with infinite hope for the future. There, more challenges and opportunities awaited them, and they were ready to face everything.

This journey of observing the safety of the river not only deepened their friendship with their Zerg companions, but also made Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying more determined to survive in this world. ............................................................?...
