The only thing more ridiculous than the appearance of an elephant in a train station was the appearance of a sperm whale in a train station.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Milliped wouldn't have believed that a deep-sea beast like this would be stranded in an abandoned subway station. The sperm whale in front of him was still alive, but it seemed a little dispirited after leaving the ocean. It didn't even have the strength to struggle as it lay on the ground.
Milliped recalled the rumble he heard earlier, as well as the earthquake that suddenly appeared and disappeared. Now, it seemed like it wasn't an earthquake at all. Something had tossed the giant sperm whale here. Its body that weighed more than 60 tons smashed into the ground, causing the entire station to tremble.
The size and weight of the sperm whale far exceeded that of any terrestrial creature. Milliped didn't dare to imagine how big the thing that dragged it here was.
Zhang Heng noticed the sperm whale too, but he didn't have time to worry about it. Although the three of them had made it to the second floor, they weren't out of danger yet. Their top priority now was to distance themselves from the sea of snakes.
Zhang Heng looked around the second floor. There were two passageways that were very close to each other, probably corresponding to the four entrances and exits of the station. However, there was quite a distance between the passageways in different directions. Zhang Heng had already made the wrong choice once, so he wasn't in a hurry this time. He calmed down and thought for a moment.
In the end, he chose the two passageways on his right because that was where the thing that had tossed the sperm whale on the second floor had gone. The loud dragging sound that Zhang Heng heard came from that direction. Although that thing might be more dangerous than the sea of snakes, it at least proved that this route was possible.
Just as the three of them were about to reach the exit, they saw a scene that made them despair. Another wave of black shadows surged out from the two passageways.
"How did this happen?!" Milliped felt the world spinning around him.
They didn't know how to deal with the sea of snakes behind them, and they didn't expect a new wave of enemies to appear. The three of them were sandwiched between the two waves of snakes, unable to advance or retreat.
Milliped had never been in such a hopeless situation before. There were snakes everywhere he looked, and it seemed like they were about to drown the entire train station. Milliped couldn't imagine how the three of them could survive in such a situation.
Just when he was about to give up resisting and resign himself to fate, he heard Zhang Heng say to him, "What are you waiting for? Over here."
Milliped saw Zhang Heng run to a pillar, put down Mei Nan, who was on his back, and then opened the duffel bag. So, Milliped hurriedly ran over. He was hoping that Zhang Heng's duffel bag contained some killer weapon, but all he saw was Zhang Heng pouring out a pile of Lego parts.
"…"
Milliped did not know what to say. At a time like this, he did not expect Zhang Heng to still be in the mood to play with Legos, especially when the snakes were about to reach them.
However, Zhang Heng acted as if he didn't see them. He was still focused on the blocks in his hands. When the snakes were less than half a meter away from Milliped, Zhang Heng pulled out his Shrouded Sheath and decapitated the snakes with a single slash.
However, Milliped was not optimistic. Compared to the black tide of snakes in front of him, the few that Zhang Heng had killed were like a drop in the bucket. Moreover, Zhang Heng was now wielding his sword with one hand. As he dealt with the snakes that were charging at him, he used the other hand to quickly assemble the building blocks.
Milliped had no idea what kind of magical attraction the Legos had to make Zhang Heng ignore his own life and death.
As more and more snakes appeared in front of them, Zhang Heng could no longer defend himself with his sword alone. Mei Nan and Milliped had no choice but to join the battle. However, they did not have any weapons in their hands. All they could do was kick the snakes away with their shoes. Fortunately, Zhang Heng had chosen a good spot. The three of them had their backs against the stone pillars, and they basically only had to deal with enemies on three sides.
However, this was only a temporary situation. As more and more snakes crawled out from the two tunnels not far away, it was getting harder and harder for the three of them to find an empty space.
"Help me buy two minutes," Zhang Heng said to Mei Nan without looking up.
"Okay." Mei Nan did not waste any more time. She took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket. Although her special ability had disappeared, she still had a few game items with her. This piece of chocolate was one of them, and it came in handy. She had been holding it when she was on Zhang Heng's back, but Zhang Heng told her that he did not need her help for the time being. So, she put it back in her pocket.
Now Mei Nan broke off a piece of chocolate the size of a fingernail and threw it into the group of snakes. Then all the snakes went crazy, completely forgetting about the three of them. All of them rushed to the place where the chocolate was. Even the snakes that were about to crawl to the feet of the three of them hurriedly turned around at this time, wanting to snatch the chocolate. Unfortunately, they were a step too late.
As soon as the piece of chocolate fell to the ground, it was swallowed by a corn snake. However, before it could savor the taste, another Bamboo Viper that almost ate the chocolate bit its body. Due to the protection of its scales, the Bamboo Viper didn't manage to bite the corn snake's flesh. However, the Bamboo Viper's action seemed to have pressed a switch.
Then, the corn snake's companions seemed to wake up and rushed to bite it. It did not take long for the corn snake to be devoured. Not even its bones were left. The snakes regained their composure, and the snakes that tried to snatch the chocolate turned around again and crawled toward the three of them.
So Meinan repeated the same trick. She broke off another piece of chocolate and threw it over, causing the snakes to scramble for food again. The good news was that every time Meinan threw a piece of chocolate, the three of them would probably be safe for about twenty seconds. The bad news was that the size of the chocolate in her hand was constantly shrinking.
When she threw the last piece of chocolate, the snakes went from violent to calm again. Mei Nan wanted to throw more chocolate, but she found that there were only some residue left in the tin foil.
Mei Nan threw the remaining residue and the tin foil far away. Perhaps because the amount of chocolate was not that much this time, the snakes were not as crazy as before. After the tin foil was swallowed by a snake, the snakes next to it did not attack it again. Instead, they surrounded the three of them from all directions.
