Chapter 1100 Evaporated

Zhang Heng climbed along the uneven wall toward the bottom of the pit. Because he needed to keep his weight dispersed during the climb, his speed was not too fast. However, the distance of thirty meters was not very long, so he was still very fast. We arrived at the bottom of the pit, quickly looked around to make sure there was no danger, and then swung the flashlight upward.

This was the signal agreed between Zhang Heng and Ma Lu. The latter knew that he had landed safely when he saw the light of the flashlight, and then threw down his travel bag.

Zhang Heng heard the falling sound above his head and moved half of his body away. After a muffled sound, his travel bag fell to his feet.

Zhang Heng picked up his travel bag, patted the dust on it, and then began to take a serious look at his environment.

In front of him was an underground pit with a diameter of about sixty meters. There were no other entrances and exits except the passage he came down from. However, there was a pool in the middle, but the strange thing was that there was no sound of water around it. Come, the whole pool is unusually quiet, with not even a ripple on the water.

Zhang Heng shined his flashlight downwards, and could only vaguely see the outline of a huge black shadow.

Because they were too far apart and the light was unclear, Zhang Heng could see what the thing was, so he took out the [Filter Lens] again. However, this time the [Filter Lens] that had worked so well before also failed. , and it did not allow Zhang Heng to see clearly the true face of the thing below.

However, to be cautious, Zhang Heng still made preparations for the war in advance.

After experiencing the Yonaguni Island incident, he unexpectedly gained the ability to breathe underwater and control water flow. Now he can stay underwater for a long time without any oxygen equipment, and controlling the water flow allows him to move faster, or It is the use of water to disrupt the enemy's movements.

Not even the best diver in the world can move as freely underwater as he does now. However, Zhang Heng knows very well that if compared with Jörmungandr, who has always lived on the bottom of the deep sea in mythical records, his underwater abilities are probably worse. There won't be any advantage.

Moreover, his main output weapons, whether they are [Hidden Scabbard], [Plague Bone Bow], or [Paris Arrow], are all equipment that need to be used on land to achieve maximum effect, so Zhang Heng still prefers to use them on the main battlefield. Place on the ground.

So the first thing Zhang Heng had to do was to lure Jörmungandr out of this pool.

There was no one else here anyway, so Zhang Heng simply took off all his clothes and put them in a corner of the pit together with the props in the travel bag. These clothes were not professional diving suits and could not be maintained after entering the water. His body temperature, and loose clothing will increase his resistance in the water, slowing down his movement in the water.

Even though the magnitude was not large, considering the opponents he faced this time, any small difference might affect his life or death. In the end, Zhang Heng only chose to bring a [hidden scabbard] for self-defense.

Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, he will come out of this pool soon. [Plague Bone Bow] and [Arrow of Paris] were hidden by him behind a stone closest to the pool, so that they can be easily retrieved the first time after landing. Time to take out.

After doing all this, Zhang Heng returned to the pool. He first tested the water temperature with one foot. He found that the water in the pool was not as cold as he thought, and he didn't feel any discomfort after waiting for a while, so Zhang Heng completely submerged his body into the water.

He tied the [Hidden Sheath] around his waist and controlled the water flow to sink towards the black shadow below. Zhang Heng didn't know if it was his imagination. After jumping into the pool, he didn't feel as nervous as before the battle. , On the contrary, when the water around him surrounded him, it gave him a faint sense of intimacy. Zhang Heng could also feel the small changes in his body. Since returning from Yonaguni Island, he has become more and more fond of water.

This reminded him of the huge astrolabe-like dome in the underwater ruins palace on Yonaguni Island. The half-human, half-fish frogs wanted to use him to perform some ritual, but he interrupted him halfway. He escaped, but Zhang Heng knew that something had already begun.

In fact, after returning, Zhang Heng dreamed of the underwater ruins several times. In his dream, he walked alone through the underwater tunnel and returned to the underwater palace again, looking up at its dome.

The stars there were constantly turning, as if responding to some kind of desire in his heart.

…………

Zhang Heng sorted out his thoughts and recovered from his previous memories. He had dived about ten meters, but the black figure was still some distance away, but the latter did not react at this moment. He seemed completely unaware that he had an uninvited guest in his home.

So Zhang Heng also deliberately increased his diving speed, trying his best to avoid attracting the opponent's attention with his movements, but soon he found that his move was completely unnecessary.

As the depth continued to decrease, Zhang Heng was finally able to gradually see the appearance of the thing at the bottom of the pool.

It was a huge snake head, almost as big in diameter as this pool. It had a pair of cunning and evil eyes, sharp teeth, and mesh-like gray scales. It opened its mouth wide and maintained a hunting posture. It seemed as if it would jump up from the bottom of the pool at the next moment and devour the prey above.

Zhang Heng was also shocked when he saw it for the first time. He thought that Jörmungandr was here waiting for him to throw himself into a trap, and almost controlled the water flow to send him ashore, but after rising five meters, he Finding that the snake head below did not react at all and still looked eager to pounce, Zhang Heng stopped again.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Heng pulled out the [Hidden Sheath] and tried to sink slowly again. This time he finally saw the true face of the snake head.

——That is not a living creature at all, but a stone statue!

It's just that the carving is too realistic, giving it a lifelike feeling, especially its two red eyes, which are actually directly inlaid with rubies. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there is such a big one in the world. The ruby ​​was probably over two meters in diameter, glowing with an indescribable evil luster underwater.

Zhang Heng speeded up his dive slightly, bringing himself closer to the stone-carved snake head.

Only by standing in front of it in person can one appreciate how outstanding its carving skills are, which are no less than the masterpieces of any artist in the world. However, when Zhang Heng removed his eyes from the snake's head and looked around the bottom of the pool, there was no You can see traces of the real owner.

As expected, Jormungandr returned to this pool after dragging the sperm whale to the station. Unless it just evaporated, it should still be here.
