Chapter 467: The Great Wave

Zhang Heng had seen the garden in the center of the maze through the camera on the drone before.

However, if you don't really stand here, it's hard to believe that this incomparably desolate red island, with no living creatures but snake embryos in the pebbles, hides such a beautiful garden full of life.

It's like an oasis in the middle of nowhere.

And when Zhang Heng arrived at the gate of the garden, the rumbling sound behind him disappeared.

As if realizing that Zhang Heng could no longer be stopped, those red mud walls stopped changing, and the entire labyrinth returned to its original static state, just at this time, a breeze blew, and the grass and trees in the garden swayed, as if welcoming the arrival of new guests.

But Zhang Heng didn't look like a guest at all, he inserted the [Tibetan Sheath] back into his waist, took off the [Plague Bone Bow] behind him, and put the [Paris's Arrow] on the bowstring, maintaining a half-open bow posture, and only after doing all this did he walk towards the garden.

The scent of flowers greeted the air, and the air was mixed with the smell of jasmine and osmanthus.

The flowering period of these two flowers is not the same, and it is rare to see them blooming at the same time in the outside world, but there seems to be some magic in this garden, in fact, it is not just jasmine and osmanthus, Zhang Heng looked around, and also saw tulips and poppies and other flowers and plants a little farther away, and each flower looked very good, and there was no sign of decay at all.

However, as Zhang Heng continued to go deeper, he still smelled a fishy smell from the air, which was not strong, but even the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard could not be concealed.

For Zhang Heng, this fishy smell is the best signpost, guiding him into the depths of the flowers.

Zhang Heng noticed that the more he moved forward, the lower the terrain became, and at the same time, the flowers and trees around him became more lush, and the branches of some trees stretched out and even covered a radius of 100 meters, at this time, it was difficult for the drone overhead to provide Zhang Heng with any vision, so Zhang Heng simply took it back into the travel bag.

After walking like this for about five minutes, the fishy smell in the air became stronger and stronger, and Zhang Heng also raised his alert level, the opponent he was about to face this time was the famous monster python Jörmungandr in Norse mythology, and now he was in the other party's lair, of course Zhang Heng would not be naïve enough to think that Jörmungandr would be ignorant of his arrival, and treat him as a potential believer on Xinshang Island like an old man outside the labyrinth.

And so far, the giant python has not moved, either the other party has not taken him seriously at all, waiting for Zhang Heng to come over to add food to it, or it is hiding somewhere in this garden, quietly observing the new enemy.

In contrast, Zhang Heng of course still prefers that Jörmungad choose the first option, the power of this giant python in the legend is already unrivaled, if you add a cautious and cunning character, then this battle may be even more difficult than expected.

Zhang Heng was already about to pass through most of the gardens at this time, and because of the sinking terrain all the way, he estimated that he should be about to reach the position of the sea level at this time, Zhang Heng even heard the sound of the sea washing over the reef, and when he walked out of a distance of about twenty meters, the trees and flowers in front of him finally disappeared.

It was only at this time that Zhang Heng realized that the center of this red island was actually hollow, and a reef beach appeared in front of him, obviously there was a passage below this reef beach that could be connected to the outside world, and the sea water could flow here along that channel.

But Zhang Heng had long since stopped caring about this kind of thing at this time, because directly in front of him, there was a red reef that was connected together, extremely huge, like a throne, towering in the sea, and now its king was entrenched on that throne.

- A black python.

Zhang Heng preliminarily estimated that the body length of that thing had exceeded four hundred meters, although it was not as endless as the legend, but it could also be circled along the school's playground track, no wonder it could hunt sperm whales in the deep sea, and it could easily drag sperm whales all the way to the station.

And the size of its head is more than a locomotive, and a pair of yellow eyes on it are staring at Zhang Heng tightly, Zhang Heng can feel the strong malice contained in it, in addition to it, it also has a body of black scales, when its body begins to move, those scales and red rocks collide with each other, making a palpitating friction sound.

Zhang Heng was not polite, immediately pulled the bowstring, this kind of thing is probably only happening in martial arts, in the actual battle, it is obvious that the person who grabs the first hand has the upper hand, considering the exaggerated size of the black python, Zhang Heng didn't need to aim, so he pointed the arrow at the opponent.

Moreover, the [Paris's Arrow] itself has the function of locking the target, Zhang Heng didn't even need to make any fine-tuning and directly released his fingers, and the next moment the [Paris's Arrow] came out of the string.

Zhang Heng didn't use ordinary arrows to test first, because the scales on the black python's body were not something that ordinary ordinary arrows could shoot through, so Zhang Heng didn't waste time and directly used [Paris's Arrow].

Although [Paris's Arrow] is only a C-level prop, and it only has the lethality of ordinary arrows, but because of its unique characteristics, it has played a miraculous role in previous battles, and Zhang Heng didn't expect this arrow to really hurt the black python in front of him, as long as he can find the weakness of Jörmungand's body in the first time, this C-level prop can be regarded as a successful completion of the task.

But what Zhang Heng didn't expect was that the [Arrow of Paris], which had been tried and tested many times before, actually made a rare mistake in front of Jörmungård this time.

The arrow was originally aimed at Jörmungandr, but when it flew to a distance of about five meters in front of Jörmungandr, it lost all its momentum for some reason, and it fell weakly from mid-air.

And Zhang Heng didn't even have time to pick it up from the sea. Because the black python on the reef had already moved, it didn't seem to expect that the small human in front of it would dare to attack first, although the arrow shot by Zhang Heng did not hurt it, but it did successfully arouse its anger.

There seemed to be something burning in the pair of yellow eyes, the giant python twisted its body and climbed down the reef, it didn't even make any attack, and when its body fell into the seawater, the huge waves had already slapped towards Zhang Heng.

But then the black python was surprised to find that the human in front of it did not flee in a hurry as expected, but just stood there and stretched out a hand. When that huge wave touched Zhang Heng's palm, it was actually split in two from the middle!
