Chapter 475: Golden Scales
The battle lasted longer than Zhang Heng expected.
As early as twenty minutes ago, he had already sensed that the black python had almost reached its limit, and the wounds on the latter's body had already exceeded the previous two, although the [Plague Bone Bow] could no longer exert its effect after entering the water, but Zhang Heng was still using the [Tibetan Sheath] to continuously bring damage to the black python.
Until now, there have been dozens of large and small wounds on the black python's body, and under the effect of the [Tibetan Sheath]'s damage bonus attribute to mythical creatures, the pain given to the black python by these knife wounds far exceeds the size of the wound itself.
However, the body of the black python is too huge, and ordinary people would have fallen to the ground long ago if they hadn't died immediately after being hit by so many knives, and as long as one of them hit the vital point, their lives would be in danger.
But even if Zhang Heng stabbed all the hilts of the [Tibetan Sheath] into the black python's body, it would be difficult to stab the other party's vital points, and those seemingly terrifying wounds were insignificant compared to the black python's body.
Fortunately, because there were enough wounds, Zhang Heng finally won this difficult battle.
The black python was no longer able to set off any wind and waves after jumping out of the water once, so it lay quietly in the sea and stopped struggling.
However, Zhang Heng could feel that it did not die immediately, and it was not until about fifteen minutes later that the black python finally completely lost all its vital signs.
And Zhang Heng also felt a burst of exhaustion at this time, this was not the most thrilling battle he had ever faced, but it was definitely the most laborious battle, fighting with an enemy who was hundreds of times larger than himself for so long, from land to sea, the amount of physical strength and energy required was unimaginable.
After confirming that the black python was really dead, Zhang Heng didn't want to do anything, and withdrew the [Tibetan sheath] into the scabbard on his waist, and just sat on the corpse of the black python to regain his strength.
After a while, Zhang Heng saw a small wooden boat heading towards him, and it was none other than the old man he had seen on the island before.
When the boat approached, Zhang Heng also put his palm back on the handle of the knife.
"I have no ill will." The old man raised his hands, signaling that he did not have any weapons in his hands, and after a pause, he asked, "Is it dead?" ”
Zhang Heng snorted, but his palm did not move away from the hilt.
"I really don't have any ill will," the old man repeated, "I just didn't expect you to be able to kill even the horrible monsters that appeared in Ragnarok, but I'm not here to seek revenge on you, and that's a good thing for me as well, because it means that I can finally leave the island and return to human society, although most of my relatives and friends are gone." ”
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhang Heng asked lightly on the back of the snake, "This guy is not Jörmungandre at all. ”
"Why do you think that?"
"Although its strength is good, it is not yet at the level of the snake in the atrium, and the most important thing is that its brain is not very good, and it used to be timid in the garden before, and it may not be as high as your status on that island."
Another thing Zhang Heng didn't say was that when the [Paris Arrow] shot at the black python before, it turned around halfway, and Zhang Heng also began to suspect that the black python was not the body of Jörmungad.
He paused, then continued, "Hurry up, don't go around in circles, where is Jörmungand?" Whether it's the red island or the abandoned subway line, it's supposed to be the place where it breeds snakes, and if I kill all the snakes that hatched from it, doesn't it want to seek revenge on me? ”
"It does want to seek revenge on you, but unfortunately it's still asleep and can't get here." The old man said.
"Sleeping?"
"Since you have read Norse mythology, you should also know that until the twilight of the gods, Jörmungård slept in the deep sea, so it is up to me to deal with the outside affairs for him." The old man said politely.
"And what are you going to do with this?"
"You have already killed Ahei, the most powerful snake king in the snake group, with half the pure bloodline of Jörmungand, and as you said, this batch of snakes has also been killed by you, and before the next batch of snakes breaks their shells and produces snake kings, I don't have anything too good to do with you, so it seems that I can only send you away." The old man said.
"That's it?" Zhang Heng was a little surprised.
"That's it, and you don't have to worry, as long as you don't come back to this place, even if the new snake king is born, I can't do anything about you." After speaking, the old man hesitated, and then continued, "And you count down from Ah Hei's left eye, there is a small golden scale under the third scale, you can take it too, that thing should help you." ”
According to the old man's words, Zhang Heng used the [Tibetan sheath] to cut the third scale under the left eye of the black python, and did see a small golden scale below, Zhang Heng cut off the scale, and there was a cold feeling in his hand, and the magic was that no matter how long he held it in his hand, the temperature of the scale would not rise much, but unfortunately the area was too small, only the size of two fingernails, otherwise even the air conditioner could be saved in summer.
Even if you don't need to be identified by Miss Bartender, Zhang Heng can be sure that this is a game prop.
"These things are yours too." The old man then returned the [Parris's Arrow] that had fallen into the water before, along with the large travel bag that someone had thrown on the island before, to Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng checked it in a respectful way, sent down a lot of things inside, closed the zipper and asked the old man opposite, "You helped me so much with Yemengad, aren't you afraid that Yemengader will find you trouble when he wakes up?" ”
"Of course, this is not a gratuitous help, I want to exchange these things for my own life, living is always the top priority," the old man said, "and the same is true for it, I can only continue to serve it if I live, it has greater value, and it is not impossible to choose another guide, but it is certainly not as easy as me, especially at this time......"
"Do you know how to return to the human world? I also have two companions on the subway station, and I'm going to take them with me. ”
"No problem." The old man nodded.
"There is also a woman named Cheng Sihan, she should be trapped in that constantly circulating tunnel, and I will take her away."
The old man thought for a moment, "It's not a big problem. ”
"Then I have one last question, do you know where Loki is?" Zhang Heng asked the old man.
