While Zhang Heng and Meinan were talking, Milliped did not say a word. But now, he could not hold it in any longer. "I'm sorry. The Loki and the female giant you mentioned were just codenames, right?"
A middle-aged man like Milliped, who had parents and children to take care of, was mostly busy earning money to support his family. He did not have much free time, and his usual entertainment was very simple. All he did was watch football games with his brothers and friends and drink a few bottles of beer. He did not go to the cinema, nor did he watch anything. He knew almost nothing about mythology, especially Western mythology.
So the names that Zhang Heng mentioned were unfamiliar to him. However, he could still tell that the characters in the story were not ordinary people, especially the title of Thunder God. It reminded him of the folklore about the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning when he was a child.
Now, Zhang Heng and Meinan were seriously discussing the monsters that appeared in the legends. Milliped could not help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart.
Zhang Heng did not explain in detail. "You just have to think of our opponent as a giant snake."
"Giant snake? How big is it?"
"I don't know yet, but I'm sure it's not as big as the legends say," Zhang Heng comforted him.
Jörmungandr was also known as the giant snake that circled the atrium.
But if it was really as big as the Norse legends said, its body should be big enough to circle the earth. Obviously, that was not possible. In fact, the supernatural creatures Zhang Heng had seen so far were not as powerful as the ones in the original stories. Otherwise, not even ten Avengers could save a single one of them.
However, since it was able to drag a sperm whale to the station, this Jörmungandr was definitely not small. From the rumors that Milliped told him about the abandoned subway line, it was certain that this Jörmungandr could spit poisonous gas, just like the legends said. Other than that, it seemed to be able to control people's minds to a certain extent.
The worker who disappeared more than fifty years ago was summoned into the tunnel by Jörmungandr. The endless tunnel that the three of them just passed through had a certain hallucinatory attribute. Then there was the group of snakes that Jörmungandr raised.
Any one of these snakes, even the most venomous of vipers, wouldn't cause any trouble. Even an ordinary person like Milliped could deal with them with a little bit of effort. However, if Heng didn't have the Infinite Building Block, he would have died before he even saw the snake in front of him.
However, this situation was not entirely a bad thing for him. Although he caught up with the snakes' meal time, the snakes also caught up with his barbecue party.
Zhang Heng had no intention of saving fuel. After all, the T-148 in his hand would turn into Lego bricks again in an hour. So, when he saw that the snakes had given up on attacking them and were gradually moving away from the high-temperature area, Zhang Heng had no intention of letting them go. He asked Milliped to help him drag the two oil cylinders another fifty meters, until they were in front of the sperm whale.
The latter was now like the piece of chocolate Meinan had tossed out, attracting the attention of the snakes. Its huge body was covered with colorful snakes, and almost no skin was exposed. It looked like a tall snake mountain, with thousands of snakes crawling on top of it. It was an indescribably creepy sight.
Moreover, for some reason, its originally hard and rough skin had now become as soft as jelly, allowing those venomous snakes with only two fangs to easily feed on its flesh.
Zhang Heng's approach to the sperm whale also caused a commotion among the snakes. Some of the snakes that couldn't squeeze onto the whale's back wanted to find another place to eat, but what awaited them was the Shrouded Sheath.
At this time, Milliped also noticed that not only was Zhang Heng's swordsmanship excellent, but when he slashed at the snakes with the Tang-like weapon, it was like a hot knife through butter. There was no resistance at all, and some of the snakes didn't even realize that their heads had been cut open. They were still trying to crawl forward, and after two more steps, their heads fell to the ground.
Just as Milliped was secretly amazed by the sharpness of the Shrouded Sheath, he heard Zhang Heng let out a soft gasp.
When Zhang Heng got closer, he realized that the sperm whale that had become the snakes' lunch was not completely dead yet. Its eyeballs had long been eaten, but the two bloody holes were still moving up and down, and blood was still flowing out of them. It was as if the whale was crying for its fate.
Zhang Heng stopped and raised the T-148 in his hand. "It seems that you're not willing to be eaten just like that. In that case, let me send you on your way." After that, he pulled the trigger at the bottom of the spray gun again, and a thick pillar of fire mercilessly rushed towards the dying sperm whale.
Feeling the heat coming from behind them, the snakes that were still eating started to feel uneasy. It even caused a commotion. Some of the snakes stopped eating and straightened their bodies in a defensive posture. However, in the face of the oncoming fire, their instincts were useless.
Soon, the snakes were swallowed by the flames. As the sperm whale was too big, Zhang Heng had to turn the muzzle a few times to make sure that every inch of the whale's skin was roasted by the flames.
The T-148's fuel was very resistant to heat, and the sperm whale's body was rich in oil. All Zhang Heng had to do was light it up. Under the roasting of the column of fire, the sperm whale quickly turned into a giant candle. Even though Zhang Heng had moved the gun away, the flames on its body didn't go out. Instead, they burned even brighter.
However, the sperm whale didn't show any signs of pain. It even let out a whale-like cry amidst the raging flames.
This was the first time Milliped heard a whale cry, and it happened in a subway station. No one would believe him if he told them about it.
The sound was melodious and deep, as if it came from the other side of the ocean. It contained a faint sense of loneliness. Milliped didn't know if he was hallucinating, but he heard a hint of joy beneath the loneliness. It was as if the sperm whale assassin hadn't reached the end of its life. Instead, it had returned to the deep sea, swimming freely in the ocean.
Zhang Heng heard the whale cry as well, but he didn't stop. He continued to use the column of fire to burn the empty space around the giant whale. There were still a lot of snakes that didn't manage to climb up the whale's body. If everything went well, they would have to face Jörmungandr later. Zhang Heng didn't want to face the snakes' human wave attack at that time. It was better to use this opportunity to clear the small monsters before the boss fight.
