Chapter 1101 Red Island
Zhang Heng spent some time searching the bottom of the pool again and confirmed that Jörmungandr was indeed not here, and like the potholes above, there were no other entrances or exits to the pool.
So Zhang Heng moved his gaze to the head of the stone-carved snake again. This time, Zhang Heng was no longer attracted by the pair of ruby eyes, nor did he pay attention to the lifelike carvings. Instead, he focused on the snake's mouth. .
Zhang Heng's heart moved, and he suddenly knew what this stone carving was for.
It is not an undersea sculpture of art at all, but a door!
The entrance to this door is in the snake's head's wide open mouth.
However, even if ordinary people are aware of this, it is probably difficult to overcome the fear in their hearts and really swim into the snake's mouth, especially in conjunction with the excellent knife skills of this stone carving, and the oppressive feeling brought by the snake head with its mouth open to eat. It is also extremely strong.
But Zhang Heng has no such concerns. His emotions have been draining away since he joined the game, especially the emotion of fear. Zhang Heng has experienced what it feels like to be afraid for a long time.
He just carefully searched the stone carvings before entering the snake's mouth to confirm that there were no traps or traps on them, and then he swam in with the [Hidden Sheath] in hand.
What greeted Zhang Heng was darkness.
With the [Filter Lens] unavailable, Zhang Heng could only use his flashlight to illuminate a small distance in front of him, and as soon as he entered the snake's mouth, he was caught in the turbulence.
This made Zhang Heng a little surprised, because the water pool looked like it had no fluctuations from the outside before, and Zhang Heng did not encounter any natural water flow except the water flow created by himself during the descent. With Zhang Heng now With his control and perception, he can clearly feel that this pool is completely stagnant.
But he didn't expect that after entering the snake's mouth, it was like entering another world. The water suddenly became faster, and there were obviously more than one stream. Zhang Heng was caught in it and felt as if his body was being pulled by countless hands. .
He tried to control the water flow to offset the impact and stabilize his body. However, because the water flow was irregular and the strength of each stream was different, the only thing the same was that they appeared and disappeared without any sign. It was difficult for Zhang Heng to completely get rid of them. The only thing I can do is try my best not to hit the surrounding walls.
He didn't know how long it took, but he was carried forward by the current until a hole appeared in front of him, and this exciting roller coaster journey ended.
Zhang Heng noticed that the water flow around him slowly slowed down until it disappeared, and he actually saw a long-lost light.
Has he returned to the outside world from that abandoned subway line?
If he had known that he could leave from here, Zhang Heng asked Fan Meinan and Ma Lu to come down together. Although the two of them could not breathe freely underwater like him, with the [Infinite Bricks], Zhang Heng could make a diving suit. Come out and take the two people out one by one. Of course, it's not too late now. He can turn back and pick up the two of them.
But now that he was here, Zhang Heng decided to explore the nearby environment first, at least to figure out where he was. He first looked at the starfish in his hand. About a quarter of an hour had passed since he got into the snake's mouth. , multiplied by the previous water speed, you can calculate the total distance he has moved, and the environment he is in now is different from before, and it seems very spacious.
In this way, Zhang Heng can target the reservoir or river near the station.
But then Zhang Heng was stunned because he noticed the figure approaching him not far away.
This was the first time he saw a living thing after entering the tunnel. What swam towards him was a fish, a very ordinary and common fish. However, according to Zhang Heng's common sense, this fish should not appear here. .
——Because this is a clownfish.
The clownfish is named because of the white stripes on its face, just like a clown in Peking Opera. But the problem is that it is a tropical saltwater fish and cannot survive in fresh water.
Could this clownfish be an illusion created by Jormungandr? Zhang Heng swam forward a little further, only to see more saltwater fish, in addition to corals and sea anemones, which further confirmed that he was indeed in the ocean.
However, you must know that just fifteen minutes ago, he was in an underground pit on an abandoned subway line. The nearest coastline was at least two hundred kilometers away, and Zhang Heng also noticed that this place did not look like any coast he was familiar with. , so Zhang Heng is now a little confused about where he is.
He controlled the water flow to bring his body out of the water, and saw a red island to his right, about six or seven kilometers away. This distance was not a problem for Zhang Heng, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
Because the current situation has deviated from his previous plan, Zhang Heng originally entered the water pool just to lure Jörmungandr ashore to deal with it. Unexpectedly, he did not even see the shadow of Jörmungandr under the water pool. On the contrary, I came to this ocean inexplicably.
But if nothing else happens, the small island in front should be Jormungandr's lair.
Zhang Heng now has two choices, either go to the island and fight Jörmungandr, or return to the pool and wait until Jörmungandr appears again. Compared with the former, the advantage of the latter is that Zhang Heng can try to ambush Jörmungandr. Once, with [Plague Bone Bow] and [Arrow of Paris] in hand, the success rate of his ambush is still considerable.
But after a moment of thought, Zhang Heng ruled out the latter option, because based on the information Zhang Heng currently had, Jörmungandr went to the abandoned subway line to feed the snakes there, and the snakes in the wild were once After eating, you can wait ten days and a half before eating the second meal.
However, Zhang Heng, Fan Meinan, and Ma Lu couldn't wait that long. Even though Zhang Heng had solved the problem of drinking water, he really didn't have any good ideas for eating. It was impossible to eat snakes every meal, so the more The earlier the war starts, the better the situation for the three of them will be.
But Zhang Heng did not go to the island so rashly. Instead, he turned back to the waterhole first, picked up the clothes and props placed there, and then followed the current back to the ocean. After about half an hour, Zhang Heng finally set foot on the red island.
Before the sun went down, Zhang Heng spread his clothes and arrows on the rocks beside the island and dried them in the sun until there was almost no moisture on them. Then he dressed up and ended his previous celestial state.
While Zhang Heng was drying his clothes, he also observed the situation of the island he was on. The entire island looked extremely desolate and bare, with no animals or plants, and all he could see was red soil.
