Chapter 1116 Golden Scales

The battle lasted longer than Zhang Heng expected.

As early as twenty minutes ago, he had noticed that the black python had almost reached its limit. 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, Zhang Heng Still using [Hidden Sheath] to continuously cause harm to the black giant python.

Until now, there are no less than dozens of large and small wounds on the black python. Under the effect of [Hidden Sheath]'s damage bonus attribute to mythical creatures, these wounds are far more painful than the black python. beyond the size of the wound itself.

However, the body of the black python is so huge that ordinary people would fall to the ground long ago even if they did not die immediately after being hit by so many knives. Moreover, as long as one of the knives hits a vital part, their lives will be in danger.

But even if Zhang Heng thrust the entire hilt of the [Hidden Sheath] into the body of the black python, it would be difficult to stab the opponent's vital points, and those seemingly terrifying wounds would be insignificant compared to the body of the black python. .

Fortunately, because there were enough wounds, Zhang Heng finally won this difficult battle.

After the black python jumped out of the water, it was no longer able to stir up any waves. It just lay quietly in the sea and stopped struggling.

However, Zhang Heng could feel that it did not die immediately. It was not until about fifteen minutes passed that the black python finally completely lost all vital signs.

Zhang Heng also felt exhausted at this time. This was not the most thrilling battle he had ever faced, but it was definitely the most strenuous battle. After fighting for so long with an enemy hundreds of times larger than himself, The amount of physical strength and energy required to go from land to sea is unimaginable.

After confirming that the black python was really dead, Zhang Heng didn't want to do anything. He put the [Hidden Scabbard] back into the scabbard on his waist and just sat on the black python's body to regain his strength.

After a while, Zhang Heng saw a wooden boat sailing towards him. The person rowing the boat was none other than the old man he had seen on the island before.

When the boat approached, Zhang Heng also placed his palm on the handle of the knife again.

"I mean no harm." The old man raised his hands to show that he did not have any weapons in his hands. He paused and asked, "Is it dead?"

Zhang Heng hummed, but his palm did not move from the handle of the knife.

"I really don't have any ill intentions," the old man reiterated, "I just didn't expect you to be able to kill even the terrifying monsters that appeared in Ragnarok, but I'm not here to take revenge on you. This is the same for me. It’s a good thing, because it means that I can finally leave this island and return to human society, although most of my relatives and friends are no longer here.”

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhang Heng asked calmly from the snake's back, "This guy is not Jörmungandr at all."

"Why do you think so?"

"Although its strength is good, it has not reached the level of the snake in the atrium. The most important thing is that its brain is not very good. Moreover, it used to be timid in the garden. I'm afraid it doesn't have you on that island. His status is high."

Another thing Zhang Heng didn't mention was that when the [Arrow of Paris] was shot at the black python, it turned around halfway. That's when Zhang Heng began to suspect that the black python was not the original body of Jörmungandr.

He paused, and then continued, "Come on, stop talking in circles, where is Jörmungandr? Whether it is the red island or the abandoned subway line, it should be the place where it breeds snakes. , I killed all the snakes that hatched from it, doesn’t it want to seek revenge from me?”

"It does want to seek revenge on you, but unfortunately it is still sleeping and has no way to get here." The old man said.

"Asleep?"

"Since you have read Nordic mythology, you should also know that Jörmungandr slept in the deep sea until Ragnarok, so it was up to me to handle the outside affairs for it." The old man said politely .

"Then how are you going to handle this?"

"You have already killed Ahei, the most powerful snake king among the snakes, who has half the purity of Jörmungandr's blood, and as you said, you have also killed this batch of snakes. Next time Before the group of snakes breaks out of their shells and a snake king is born, I don’t have any good solution for you, so I think 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 a new snake king is born, I won't be able to do anything to you." After speaking, the old man hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "And you from Ah Counting down from Hei's left eye, there is a small golden scale under the third scale, you can take it too, that thing should be helpful to you."

According to what the old man said, Zhang Heng used the [Hidden Sheath] to cut off the third scale under the black python's left eye. He did indeed see a small golden scale underneath. Zhang Heng cut off the scale. There is a cold feeling when you hold it, and the amazing thing is that no matter how long you hold it in your hand, the temperature of the scales will not rise much. Unfortunately, the area is too small, only the size of two fingernails. Otherwise, even air conditioning can be saved in summer. Lost.

Even without the bartender's appraisal, Zhang Heng was sure that this was a game prop.

"These things are yours, too." The old man then returned the [Parris' Arrow] that had fallen into the water to Zhang Heng, together with the large travel bag that someone had thrown on the island.

Zhang Heng did a rough inspection and found out that there were not many things inside. After closing the zipper, he asked the old man opposite, "You have helped me so much behind Jörmungandr's back. Aren't you afraid that Jörmungandr will wake up?" Will I cause trouble for you later?"

"Of course this is not free help. I want to use these things in exchange for my own life. Survival 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. With greater value, it is not impossible to choose another person to take over, but it will definitely not be as easy to use as me, especially at this time..."

"Do you know how to return to the human world? I have two companions over there at the subway station. I want to take them away with me."

"No problem." The old man nodded.

"There is also a woman named Cheng Sihan. She is probably trapped in the continuously circulating tunnel. I want to take her away too."

The old man thought for a while and said, "This is not a big problem."

"Then I have one last question. Do you know where Loki is?" Zhang Heng asked the old man.
