Chapter 31: Submarine Volcanoes
"Damn ......"
The dissatisfaction on Thor's face intensified when he realized that he seemed to be lost, and at this moment, the huge octopus roaming beside him stretched out its long, thick tentacles after being tempted, as if it was using Thor as food, ready to eat Thor.
However, Thor, who is in the midst of an upset, has no good temper, or rather, Thor has a violent personality, which is rarely good-tempered.
"Humph!"
Glancing at the stupid octopus who didn't know whether to live or die, he snorted coldly, and didn't even move, only to see that Thor's body instantly erupted with amazing violent thunder and lightning, in this pitch-black seabed, the dazzling thunder and lightning suddenly burst out like a small sun, illuminating the seabed for several kilometers nearby, and the remaining dazzling light could not be dispersed for a long time, and the stupid octopus was directly electrocuted into a ball of charcoal before it could move.
However, a grumbling voice was heard next to Thor.
"Don't be so impulsive, you can ask me to ask. β
As he spoke, a hand stretched out and easily held the little octopus soul that emerged from the charred octopus remains in the palm of his hand.
Glancing at Thor beside him, Loki turned his head to the little octopus soul in his palm and muttered something, and in front of him, the little octopus that looked less than the size of the palm of his hand was mostly just waving his tentacles at will, and only occasionally would the tentacles wave regularly, as if in response to Loki's words.
After a long time, Loki's palms closed, and the little octopus's soul turned into a speck of light and fell towards the Land of the Dead, the lowest part of the World Tree.
"This little guy is too stupid to ask, but the only thing that is certain is that within a dozen kilometers of this vicinity, you will not even want to find JΓΆrmungard. β
Loki scratched his head in annoyance.
"What then?"
Thor asked, looking at Loki.
Loki thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Otherwise, let's ask Egil, the god of the sea, again......"
"Absolutely not!"
However, Thor heard the words as if he had been stung by a scorpion, and he became furious and shouted fiercely.
And after that, no matter how Loki persuaded him, Thor resolutely refused to call the old sea god again and let him show him the way again, the reason is very simple, if people know that he is the god of thunder, Thor, the strongest god in the dignified heavenly realm, is actually lost, wouldn't he be laughed to death by others?
Thor, who is extremely good-looking, obviously cannot accept this situation, and naturally resolutely opposes it.
However, Loki didn't care about it at all, he was already debauched, and he hadn't done anything before.
However, Loki didn't care, but Thor did, and in desperation, Loki had to continue to wander around the bottom of the sea with Thor, catching a few underwater creatures from time to time, asking questions, trying his luck, and seeing if he could find clues.
According to Loki, it is.
"Our location should not be far from the destination, and it should not be difficult to find it if you look for it. β
In this way, the two searched for more than ten days at the bottom of the sea, but they never found any clues, along the way, except for the occasional huge submarine canyon, even some hills could not be seen, except for monotony or monotony, which was really discouraging.
However, it is not all unfounded.
......
"Boom Boom Boom Rumble !!!"
In the pitch black seabed, there was a little fire burning in front of Loki and Thor, and along with the fire, there was a low and trembling roar like a subwoofer, a huge roar, and the sea was trembling.
"What's that?"
Looking at the light of the fire, Thor muttered a little confused, and beside him, Loki also showed a confused expression.
"Take a closer look. β
Loki suggested.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and walked for another half a day before they approached the place where the fire was......
A large, active submarine volcano.
Under their gaze, a low mountain peak sits at the bottom of the sea, and the center of the peak seems to be broken, spewing countless gases and hot lava upwards, which rub violently against the seawater, producing a burst of flames that bloom in the columns of hot lava.
Because of the large number of jets of air, even if Loki and Thor were still far away, they could clearly feel the heavy oppression of the sea being squeezed out, and the trembling gas and the sea water formed this low underwater roar.
"It's amazing. β
Thor, who had never seen such a scene before, looked at the strange scene in front of him and was amazed.
However, Loki looked at the undersea volcano with a little doubt on his face, he looked around for a moment, looking in the other direction, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
In that direction, although faint, a little fire could be faintly seen.
"There...... Is there an undersea volcano too?"
He muttered, his eyes even more suspicious.
"Let's go over and see. β
At Loki's suggestion, the two of them walked towards the other firelight together.
After another half a day, when the two of them walked to the firelight, they saw an almost identical submarine volcano, similar to each other, as if it had been copied.
"Do all the volcanoes under the sea look like this?"
Thor looked at Loki and said strangely.
Loki shook his head.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it before. β
However, the confusion in Loki's heart became more and more serious, and he couldn't say what it was, only that something was wrong.
"Two identical undersea volcanoes......"
Loki pondered, and at this moment, in front of Loki and Thor, the volcano gradually stopped erupting, and the column of air exhaled slowly weakened.
The flames gradually dissipated, and the pitch-black seabed, briefly illuminated by the burning lava erupted from the submarine volcano, gradually fell into darkness again.
At the same time, under Loki's gaze, the distant light of the fire gradually dimmed and extinguished.
Loki vaguely sensed that something was wrong, as if he had thought of something, but he was not clear.
Then, a large amount of seawater began to be sucked in by the "volcano", and the huge suction force caused the nearby sea water to form a crazy whirlpool, making both gods a little unsteady on their feet.
This huge suction force is as if a huge hole has suddenly appeared in the bottom of the sea.
"Wait, ......"
Suddenly Loki thought of something, his face was full of surprise, and then, he suddenly flew upwards.
"You ......"
Thor hurriedly spoke, but Loki didn't pay attention to his reaction at all, and flew straight up in his sight, not hearing what he said at all, and Thor could only follow closely behind.
And after flying for a long time, Loki stopped.
"Loki, what's wrong with you......"
Thor, who had caught up with Loki, looked at him and was about to speak, but when he saw Loki's gaze staring at the bottom of the sea below him, the surprise on his face became full of astonishment, and he couldn't help but follow his gaze......
A disorienting scene emerged.
Under Thor's gaze, the head of a looming behemoth appeared at the bottom of the sea......
No, it should be said that it was always there, but Thor and Loki were walking on top of it all the time, and they didn't realize it.
The "submarine canyons" that they often encounter on their way, where are the canyons...... It was clearly a fault that appeared when the scales of the behemoth were stacked on top of each other.
And the two "submarine volcanoes" that the two mistook for submarine volcanoes are not submarine volcanoes at all...... Rather, it is the nostrils of the behemoth when it sleeps, and every breath it takes while it sleeps, it inhales a large amount of seawater, and then spits out a column of air as thick as a tornado.
In front of this behemoth, the two gods seemed so small that they were not even dust.
"It'...... It's getting bigger. β
The dumbfounded Thor muttered to himself.
He had seen this behemoth before, although he had the impression that this behemoth was unimaginably big, but now he looked at it...... It seemed to have become even larger, and as far as the eye could see, even with Thor's eyes as a god, it was difficult to see the whole picture of the behemoth, and at most it could only see a faint outline of a snake's head.
"It's no wonder that Egil, the god of the sea, only tells us which sea to go to, but not where...... Because, the whole seabed is its head. β
"It took us more than ten days, but we still haven't been able to get out of it...... Merely...... It's just a dozen scales that span the top of its head......"
Looking into the distance of his gaze, the blurry, illegible, and massive snake eyes hidden in the dark waters of the deep sea, as large as the mountains perched on the bottom of the sea, Loki muttered in amazement.
