The old man did not expect that his identity would be seen through by the woman in front of him.
But after a moment of silence, he said firmly, "Even if you're right, the awakening of my master is a foregone conclusion. No one can stop it."
"Who said so? I'm here to stop this." The unknown woman raised her chin. "But I need a little help from you."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Get in touch with that thing under the Forbidden City. You should have a way to do it, right?" The unknown woman said as she took out a palm-sized bone flute.
"What is this?" The old man looked wary.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. This is the Siren's Flute. I hunted more than a hundred sirens in the deep sea and used their hyoid bones to make this tool. As long as this flute is played, the mortals who hear it will be completely lost in the sound of the flute. There's a high chance that they will never wake up again. But don't worry, for your boss, this flute will at most calm his restless heart a little, and he will go back to sleep again."
"You're lying." The old man shook his head. "The number of sirens is very small. There might not even be ten sirens in the entire ocean now. Where are you going to find more than a hundred sirens to make a flute?"
"I know." The unknown woman licked her lips and smiled. "Because I killed all those sirens. Until the 19th century, the number of sirens was still quite large. Although it was far less than the number of humans, there were at least a few hundred of them. They would use their songs to confuse the sailors, causing their ships to crash into the rocks, or directly lure the poor sailors into the sea. It was because of this that I took a fancy to them that I used their hyoid bones as props.
"In order to collect the materials, I killed more than a hundred sirens. Initially, I planned to bring the materials back with me. However, when I saw the eyes of the remaining sirens, I knew that they would most likely seek revenge on me in the future. Although I wasn't worried about it, I hated trouble. So, I simply killed them all."
The old man was the guide of Jörmungandr, the Earthly Python. The master he served was a famous evil monster in Norse mythology. But even after hearing the woman's words, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. The most important thing was that the other party looked very relaxed when she was talking about this matter, as if she was talking about some gossip or celebrity.
But this could prove that she was indeed not from Asgard. Even if those hypocritical gods really did such a thing behind her back, they would never dare to say it openly.
The unknown woman then continued, "You don't have to worry that I will harm your boss. Although we haven't met before, we can barely be considered half of the same race. I won't do anything to him."
After that, she bent down to pick up two red pebbles and knocked them against each other. As a result, the two red pebbles broke apart, and the snake embryos inside rolled to the ground, twisting and struggling. But because they came into this world too early, their organs had not yet fully developed, and they could not adapt to the cruel environment of the outside world. In the end, their struggles became weaker and weaker, and they were about to lose their lives.
But the next moment, the old man saw the unknown woman open her mouth and spit out a green mist. The mist wrapped around the two little snakes on the ground. Before long, their bodies began to tremble violently, and at the same time, the color of their skin patterns began to change.
The original red gradually turned red and green, and when the whole change was completed, their bodies stopped shaking and they lay motionless on the ground.
But the old man knew that the two little snakes did not die. On the contrary, they miraculously survived. Not only did they survive the danger of being born prematurely, but they also became more energetic than ever before. This kind of vitality even made the old man feel incredulous. The reason why they were not moving now was that the previous strange evolution had exhausted their physical strength.
After they rested for half a minute, they immediately began to eat the red pebbles. And after fighting for the last piece, they seemed to be a little unsatisfied. They turned their eyes around and finally looked at the other red pebbles around them.
One of the snakes bit an intact red pebble next to it. As a result, the latter did not move at all, but its two baby teeth were almost broken. Even so, it did not give up, still trying to find a way to open the red pebble.
Seeing this scene, the old man could not help but be a little shaken. It was not because he had been convinced by the unknown woman, but because he realized that the other party seemed to be stronger than he thought. So he had to weigh the consequences of making an enemy out of her, not to mention that Zhang Heng was still in the sea.
At this time, the strength of the black giant python's struggle was getting weaker. It seemed like it was at the end of its flight, and it would not take long for it to die.
The old man thought for a moment and tried to suggest, "Why don't you ask your boss to let Ah Hei live first, and then we can talk?"
"Ah Hei? Is that the name of the black python? "The unknown woman sighed." When have you ever seen a worker give orders to his boss? And even if I speak now, I can't save that stupid snake. From the moment my boss slashed it, it was already dead. If you have time to plead for it, you might as well think about your boss. "
Speaking of this, the unknown woman's tone also became cold. "It's true that I came to the island with the purpose of peace, but if you really decide to be stubborn and let your boss wake up, then I will kill you first. Then, I will join forces with my boss and let Jörmungandr have a taste of what it feels like to fight one against two."
…
The battle between Zhang Heng and the black giant python had come to an end at this time. There was a storm on the sea because of the black giant python's struggle, but now these waves gradually dissipated, and the sea returned to calmness. However, the nearby seawater was dyed red by the black giant python's blood.
However, because of the black giant python's majesty in the past, the sea creatures living here had fled the sea at the beginning of the battle. Now, they still did not dare to come back. Even the sharks took the initiative to avoid them, making the place a stage for one man and one snake.
