Meinan did not feel relieved when she heard that. Instead, she became more vigilant. "Wait a minute, what do you mean by my boyfriend's blessing that Jörmungandr can only wake up from his sleep?"
"Why? Isn't he your boyfriend?" β pretended to be surprised.
"…"
"You know that's not the point," Meinan was speechless. "According to what you said, Jörmungandr will only wake up during the Twilight of the Gods, when the poisonous dragon Nidhogg eats up the roots of the World Tree."
"Yes, that big snake is a monster that will only appear during the end of the world," β nodded, then grinned meaningfully. "But in this world, the poisonous dragon Hodnig is not the only one who can bring about the end of the world."
"What are you hinting at?" Meinan frowned. "If you like talking in riddles so much, why don't you become an agent of the Sphinx?"
Β ignored Meinan's provocation and just smiled. "No matter what, I have answered your questions truthfully. Next, it's time to talk about the deal between you and my teacher. It's not safe here. After all, Jörmungandr is about to wake up, and I'm afraid we don't have much time left. But if we're lucky, we may be able to see the scene of two doomsday monsters fighting each other."
"What the hell are you talking about? Isn't Jörmungandr the only monster here?"
"Ohoho, Jörmungandr is not the main character tonight. Whether it was in the Twilight of the Gods or now, its position can only be regarded as a footnote. But tonight, it is not completely without a chance of winning. After all, the other party is far from being complete. It may be able to destroy the arrangement that the annoying old man Kronos has been planning for a long time. Then things will become more interesting." At this point, β's eyes lit up, as if it wanted to see the world in chaos.
Meinan barely understood what β said. According to β, there seemed to be more terrifying monsters appearing tonight, so she asked, "So, all of this is actually arranged by Loki, right? But isn't Jörmungandr his child? Does he not care about Jörmungandr's life at all? "
"You know how the teacher is. He never really cares about anyone. Even if I'm his agent, if I can make things more interesting, he wouldn't mind killing me. I'm an arrogant bastard, after all. My parents don't really like me," Beta said with a playful wink.
…
On the red island.
The old man stood on a huge rock, watching a man and a snake fighting in the sea.
The black python was determined to escape, and in the end, Zhang Heng failed to keep it on land. However, the black python wasn't in a good state either. Two more scales on its body were cut off by Zhang Heng, and two more wounds were inflicted on its body. The third wound was also hit by an arrow. Now, it was estimated that at least four types of plagues were stacked on its body.
However, its physique was indeed strong. Ordinary people would find it difficult to even stand at this time. The speed of this giant python's escape was not much slower than before. Of course, this was also because it was completely terrified. It could not muster the courage to face the terrifying human behind it. It just wanted to return to the sea, find a place where no one could find it, and never come out again.
Not only did it throw away all of its pride and dignity, its strategy of running away with its tail between its legs had indeed yielded significant results.
The black python successfully escaped back to the reef beach, but this time it did not climb onto the huge, throne-like reef and rule the world. Instead, it plunged into the water.
There was an underground tunnel under the reef that connected to the sea outside. The black python used to return to the island through this tunnel, but now, after staying at home for a short while, it had no choice but to escape to the sea through this tunnel.
After returning to the water, the giant beast's mood calmed down a little. In its opinion, the possibility of the human behind it following it into the water was very small. Although it was a little embarrassed on land before, it was still the overlord of the sea, an existence that could hunt sperm whales.
Returning to the sea would only make it stronger than on land. On the contrary, as a human, no matter how strong Zhang Heng was, his physiological structure was not adapted to the sea environment. Once he entered the water, he would first have to solve his breathing problem, and his movement speed would be greatly reduced. Therefore, in the black python's opinion, as long as Zhang Heng was not stupid, he would definitely not go into the water with it.
But now, it was indeed afraid of Zhang Heng, and it was worried that Zhang Heng would shoot arrows at it from the shore. After diving into the water, it did not stop and immediately swam out of the island along the tunnel.
When it got out of the tunnel, the black python's heart was completely relieved.
But to be cautious, it still looked back again, and it saw a scene that scared it out of its wits.
It saw that the annoying figure was still following it like a piece of dog skin plaster. He did not let it go just because it escaped to the sea. And what puzzled the black python was that Zhang Heng moved faster in the water than on land. At the same time, he did not seem to need to breathe at all.
If the black python was at its peak, it would not be afraid to compete with Zhang Heng in speed. But now, it had accumulated a total of seven plagues on its body, and the abscesses on the place where Shrouded Scabbard stabbed continued to spread. Even with its strong physique, it was a little overwhelmed. Besides, the desperate escape on the shore had also overdrawn its remaining physical strength. Sadly, the black python found that as a deep-sea monster, it could not outrun the human behind it in the sea.
Apparently, Zhang Heng had expected this to happen, so he followed them into the sea. Soon, he caught up with the black python in front of him, rode on its body, and stabbed the Shrouded Scabbard mercilessly into the black python's flesh, helping the deep-sea behemoth in front of him to continue bleeding.
The black python kept rolling in the sea in pain, but there was nothing it could do to the human on its back. At this moment, it had completely lost its previous prestige, and it looked like it was at the end of its rope.
The old man did not seem to expect the black python to be so cowardly. Looking at it, if it had legs, it might have knelt down and begged for mercy. But the next moment, the old man's frown suddenly stretched out. Not only that, but there was even a hint of joy on his face.
Because his heart felt a special throbbing. In the past, this kind of situation would only occur when the great existence under the Forbidden City actively contacted him, and this time, the throbbing was unprecedentedly strong.
No one knew better than the old man what this meant! He could not help but shed tears of excitement.
Fifty-one years of waiting. Fifty-one years had passed since he first heard that voice!!!
He had turned from a young lad into a white-haired old man. However, even in his boldest dreams, he did not dare to imagine that he would be able to wait for this day to appear in his lifetime. He did not dare to imagine that he would be able to see that great and terrifying figure appear on this land with his own eyes. He would be able to watch it set off endless giant waves and swallow the entire world. What a magnificent and heart-stirring scene!
