Chapter 1112 Atrium
Jormungandr was shocked and angry. This was the first time since it became conscious that it had suffered such a big loss, and although it was unwilling to admit it, it did feel the threat of death.
But until now, Jörmungandr still finds it hard to believe that this pressure of death was actually brought to it by this seemingly insignificant human being in front of it.
But the blade of the knife in the opponent's hand was indeed stained with its blood, and it looked particularly ferocious, as if it was reminding it of where the wound on its cheek came from, and what made it even more incomprehensible was that the target had clearly been Although it was in its poisonous mist, it still looked lively and vigorous, but its own body became weaker and weaker.
This even made Jormungandr couldn't help but wonder who the poisoned person was.
Zhang Heng did not attack again after the blow to Jörmungandr. He mainly used dodge to avoid the giant python's subsequent rolling and furious counterattack. During this period, he also tried to use the [Plague Bone Bow] Another arrow was shot.
It can be seen from Jörmungandr's current actions that the arrow he shot into the mouth of the giant python still had an effect. Although he only used ordinary arrows, the [Plague Bone Bow] saw blood Even if you are infected with two to five plagues, the effect will still take effect.
After that, Zhang Hengneng could clearly feel that Jörmungandr's movements had become slower, which also made his dodge easier. However, this time Jörmungandr did not give him another chance, and his second arrow did not The wound on the python's cheek that failed to hit was bounced away by the surrounding scales.
At this time, Jörmungandr had completely put away its initial contempt for Zhang Heng, and became a little panicked, because it found that it had invincible power, but it couldn't catch the target and couldn't exert it, and it had always been tried and true. The poisonous mist doesn't seem to have any effect on the target either.
After such a circle, it seemed that it really had nothing to do with Zhang Heng. Seeing the human in front of it get into a stance again, Jörmungandr also raised his head and slapped the ground with his tail, looking like a It looks like he is planning some big move.
As a result, Zhang Henggang raised his alert and prepared to deal with the black python's next big move. Unexpectedly, the latter turned around and fled to the rocky beach not far away without looking back.
Zhang Heng was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party, the majestic earthly python, the famous doomsday monster in Nordic mythology, would actually run away without any dignity at all.
The most important thing is that according to Zhang Heng's previous investigation results, Jörmungandr has not used all its attack methods. Although its attacks and poisonous fog are not effective, it should also have a mental control function. Such skills, otherwise there is no way to explain why the old man outside the maze voluntarily walked into the tunnel and came to this island for more than fifty years to become its guide.
In the previous battle, Zhang Heng had been guarding against Jörmungandr's mental attack, but he didn't expect that the other party would not even have the thought of trying it. He was so cowardly and decisive. This was beyond Zhang Heng's expectation. He vaguely felt that Something was wrong, but at this time, he couldn't dwell on the problem. When he saw the black python trying to escape, he immediately chased after it.

In front of the platform.
Fan Meinan frowned, "Atrium? Where is it?"
β did not answer her question, but asked while stroking the little white cat in his arms, "Do you know where the original construction plan of this abandoned subway line led to?"
Fan Meinan tried hard to recall that she and Zhang Heng did not know there was a subway line before they climbed down the iron ladder. After they climbed down, their mobile phones lost signal and could not find relevant information. Therefore, regarding this Malu told them about the subway line.
But after all, it happened more than fifty years ago, and the relevant files have been sealed. Many details are not clear to Ma Lu, including where this subway line leads. After so many years, many people have forgotten it.
However, β pulled out a picture from his mobile phone album and put it in front of Fan Meinan's eyes. "Let's take a look. This document is from more than fifty years ago. I took a screenshot of the plan from it." .”
Fan Meinan enlarged the photo and looked at the line marked on the map, "This is... the Forbidden City? Was the end point of this subway line the Forbidden City?! Wait," Fan Meinan's eyes widened, "The atrium... …Could it be that?”
"Guan Zhong came back and stood with the screen double, and the public did not say anything; when he entered the atrium, the public did not speak." β took back his mobile phone and said leisurely, "This sentence comes from "Guan Zi·Zhong Kuang". The so-called atrium refers to the front steps of the temple. The lower middle part is where the ministers stand during court meetings or conferring honors."
"Are you kidding me? We all know that the Atrium of the Serpent in the Atrium does not mean this." Fan Meinan said, "The world tree in Nordic mythology, Uktra Hill, has nine kingdoms on it, among which humans live That world is called the Atrium."
"You're right," β nodded, "There's just one problem, we don't live on the World Tree, Yectrasil."
"…………"
"You have to find a place for our friend Jormungandr to stay." β looked like I had no choice. "The Forbidden City is the place closest to the mythical atrium. When the subway line was built here, I was shocked. It just happened the following series of things. Well, strictly speaking, it didn't wake up. It just opened its eyes a little. But this time, thanks to your boyfriend, it looks like it is really going to wake up. .”
"You said Jormungandr is under the Forbidden City? Then what was the thing that dragged the sperm whale to the second floor???" Fan Meinan said doubtfully.
"In Norse mythology, it was not until Ragnarok that the poisonous dragon Nidhogg finished eating the roots of the World Tree, and Jörmungandr could wake up from his sleep."
β said, "So of course it has to find some trustworthy subordinates to help it handle external matters. Otherwise, why do you think it keeps so many snakes here? It is to cultivate generations of servants and ensure that there are always people. It can serve it. Legend has it that it also has an island specially used for hatching snake eggs, but I have never been there. As for the things on the second floor... they are servants of its generation. Don't underestimate that guy. , it is just like Jörmungandr’s trumpet, although it is a weakened version in all aspects and its brain is not very easy to use, it is still very powerful.”
Seeing Fan Meinan's expression change slightly, she waved her hand, "Don't worry about your boyfriend. How could such a small character be his opponent? He ran to the island like this. It's that stupid snake that he should be worried about." , That guy has stayed in that ungrateful place for so long, he probably even forgot how dangerous the world is, and it’s time to pay his tuition.”
