Chapter 1112: Monster Party
Fan Meinan was not relieved. Instead, he raised his guard. “Wait, what did you say? What do you mean by my boyfriend’s blessing?”
“Why? Isn’t he your boyfriend?” Beta deliberately looked surprised.
“…”
“You know that’s not the point.” Fan Meinan was speechless. “According to you, Jemengard will only wake up at the twilight of the gods when the poisonous dragon Niddhog has finished eating the roots of the world tree.”
“That’s right. That big snake is a monster that only appears at the end of the world.” Beta nodded before she grinned with a meaningful smile. “But Niddhog is not the only one in this world who can bring about the end of the world.”
“What are you hinting at?” Fan Meinan frowned. “If you like to play charades so much, why don’t you become the Sphinx’s agent?”
Beta ignored Fan Meinan’s provocation and only smiled. “No matter what, I’ve answered all your questions truthfully. Now, it’s time to talk about the deal between teacher and you. It’s not safe here. After all… Jemengad is about to wake up, and we probably don’t have much time left. But if we’re lucky, we might be able to see two apocalypse-level monsters fighting each other.”
“What the hell are you talking about? Isn’t there only one monster in this place?”
“Oh, Jemengard isn’t the main character tonight. Whether it’s in the twilight of the gods or now, its position is only a footnote. However, it’s not entirely impossible for it to win tonight. After all, its opponent is far from complete. It might be able to destroy the arrangement that that annoying old Guy Chronos has been planning for a long time. That would make things even more interesting.” When Beta spoke about this, her eyes lit up. She looked as if she wanted the world to be in chaos.
Fan Meinan could understand a little. According to Beta, there seemed to be more terrifying monsters appearing tonight, so she asked her, “So all of this is actually Loki’s arrangement, right? But isn’t Jemengard his child? Would he completely ignore Jemengard’s life and death?”
“You know how teacher is. He has never really cared about anyone. Even as his agent, if he can make things more interesting, he probably won’t mind letting me die as well. After all, he’s a mad bastard. His parents don’t like him very much,” Beta winked playfully.
…..
On Red Island.
The old man stood on a huge rock and looked at the man and snake fighting in the sea.
The black python was determined to escape, but Zhang Heng was unable to leave it on land. However, the black python was not having an easy time either. The scales on its body had been cut by Zhang Heng, so it had two more wounds. Another wound had been inflicted by an arrow. Conservatively, it was estimated that there were at least four types of plagues on its body.
However, its body was indeed strong. An ordinary person would find it difficult to even stand at this time. The python’s escape speed was not much slower than before. Of course, this was also because it was completely terrified and couldn’t muster up the courage to face the frightful human behind it again. It only wanted to focus on returning to the sea, to find a place where no one could find it, and plunge into it, never to come out again.
Besides throwing away all of its dignity, its tail-between-its-legs battle strategy had indeed yielded significant results.
The giant black python had successfully escaped back to the reef beach. However, this time, it did not climb up the huge reef like a throne and dominated the world. Instead, it fiercely plunged into the water.
There was an underground passage under the reef that connected to the sea outside. The giant black python had previously returned to the island from this passage. However, after staying at home for a short while, it had no choice but to use this passage to escape to the sea again.
After returning to the water, the giant beast’s mood calmed slightly. In its eyes, the possibility of the human following it into the water was very small. Although it had previously appeared a little pathetic on land, it was still an ocean overload, an existence that could hunt down sperm whales.
Back in the ocean, it would only be stronger than on land. On the other hand, as a human, no matter how strong Zhang Heng was, his physiology was not adapted to the ocean environment. Once he entered the water, he had to solve the breathing problem first. His movement speed would also be significantly reduced. Therefore, from the perspective of the black python, as long as Zhang Heng was not stupid, he would definitely not enter the water with it.
However, it was true that it was afraid of being beaten up by someone, and it was worried that someone would shoot it from the shore. It didn’t stop after diving into the water and immediately swam out of the island along the tunnel.
After coming out of the tunnel, the black python finally felt completely at ease.
However, to be on the safe side, it still looked back and saw the scene that scared it out of its wits.
The hateful figure was still following behind it like a piece of plaster. It didn’t decide to let it go just because it had escaped into the sea. What puzzled the Black Python was that Zhang Heng’s movement speed in the water was even faster than on land. At the same time, the other party didn’t seem to want to breathe at all.
If it were at its peak condition, the black python would not have been afraid to compete with Zhang Heng in speed. However, it had already accumulated seven plagues on its body. As the abscesses around the areas stabbed by Hidden Scabbard continued to spread, even with its physique, it was still unable to hold on. In addition, the wave of desperate escape on the shore had exhausted its remaining strength. The black python realized with sorrow that it was a deep-sea monster, but it could not outrun the humans behind it in the ocean.
Zhang Heng had obviously calculated this point, so he followed the black python into the ocean. Very quickly, he caught up with the dispirited serpent and rode on its back before mercilessly thrusting the Hidden Scabbard into the snake’s flesh to make it bleed again.
Jemengard writhed in pain in the ocean, but there was nothing it could do about the humans on its back. At this moment, it completely lost its previous prestige and looked like it was at the end of its rope.
The old man did not expect the giant black python to be so cowardly. Judging from its appearance, if it had legs, it might have knelt and begged for mercy. However, the next moment, the old man’s tightly knitted brows suddenly relaxed. Not only that, a hint of joy even appeared on his face.
It was because he felt a special throbbing in his heart. In the past, this kind of situation would only appear when the great being under the Forbidden City took the initiative to contact him. This time, the throbbing was unprecedentedly intense.
No one knew better than the old man what this meant! He couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement.
Fifty-one years had passed since he first heard that voice!!!
He had changed from a young lad to a white-haired old man. However, even in his boldest dreams, he didn’t dare imagine that he could really wait until this day appeared in his lifetime, to be able to see with his own eyes that imposing and terrifying figure appear on this piece of land, to be able to watch it set off endless huge waves and devour the entire world, what a magnificent and heart-stirring scene!
