Chapter 1096: Song of the Whale

While Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan were talking, Ma Lu didn’t say a word. But now, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. “I’m sorry, but what you said about Loki and the female giant are all code names, right?”

Middle-aged men like Ma Lu, who had grown and young children, were mostly busy earning money to support their families. They didn’t have much free time left, and their usual entertainment was very simple. They just watched football with their brothers and friends and drank a few bottles of beer. He didn’t go to the cinema or read any novels, so he didn’t know much about mythology, especially western mythology.

Therefore, the names that Zhang Heng mentioned were unfamiliar to him, but he could tell that the characters in the story were not ordinary people, especially people like Thor. It was just like the folk legends of thunder and lightning that he had heard when he was young.

Now that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan were discussing the monsters in the legends, Ma Lu could not help but feel a sense of absurdity.

Zhang Heng did not explain in detail. He only said, “You just have to treat our opponent as a giant snake.”

“How big is the giant snake?”

“I don’t know yet, but it’s definitely not as big as the legend says,” Zhang Heng consoled.

Yemengarde was also known as the giant snake that circled the atrium.

However, if it was really as big as the one recorded in Norse mythology, its body should circle the Earth once. This was obviously not possible. In fact, the supernatural creatures Zhang Heng had seen so far were not as powerful as the original story. Otherwise, even ten Avengers would not be able to save any of them.

However, to drag a sperm whale to the station… this Yeomengard was definitely not small. Furthermore, based on the rumors that Ma Lu had told him about the abandoned subway line, it was already certain that this Yeomengard could also spew poisonous fog, as the legends said. In addition, it seemed to be able to control people’s minds to a certain extent.

The worker that went missing more than 50 years ago was summoned into the tunnel by Nightmare Gad. The Endless Tunnel that the three of them had just passed through also had a certain hallucinogenic attribute. Other than that, there was also the group of snakes that it reared.

If these snakes were randomly picked out, even the most poisonous of poisonous snakes wouldn’t cause much trouble. Even an ordinary person like Ma Lu would be able to deal with them as long as they paid attention. However, with such a large group of snakes charging at them—if Zhang Heng did not have the Infinite Building Block, he would have probably died before he even saw the real thing.

However, the current situation was not entirely a bad thing for him. Although Zhang Heng had arrived at dinner time of the snakes, the snakes had also arrived at Zhang Heng’s Barbecue Party.

Zhang Heng did not have any intention of saving fuel. After all, the T-148 in his hand would turn into Lego building blocks again in an hour. Thus, when he saw that the snakes had given up on attacking them and were gradually moving away from the high-temperature area, he did not plan to let them go. He asked Ma Lu to assist him in dragging the two oil cylinders forward by about 50 meters and arrived in front of the sperm whale.

The latter was now like the piece of chocolate that Fan Meinan had thrown out, firmly attracting the snakes. Its huge body was crawling with colorful snakes. Almost no skin was exposed, making it look like a tall snake mountain, where tens upon tens of thousands of snakes crawled on it. It was indescribably bizarre.

For some reason, its originally hard and rough skin had become as soft as jelly, allowing the poisonous snakes with only two fangs to devour its flesh and blood with ease.

Zhang Heng’s approach to the sperm whale also caused a commotion among the snakes. Therefore, some of the snakes that couldn’t squeeze onto the whale’s back wanted to find another place to eat, but what awaited them was the sharp blade of the Hidden Scabbard.

Ma Lu also noticed that not only was Zhang Heng’s knife skills outstanding, but when he used the Tang knife-like weapon to slash at the snakes, it was like cutting butter with a hot knife. He easily sliced the target in half without any resistance—some of the snakes did not even realize that their heads had been cut open. They continued to crawl forward until their heads fell to the ground after another two steps.

Just as Ma Lu was marveling at the sharpness of the Hidden Scabbard, Zhang Heng, who was in front of him, let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

Zhang Heng walked closer and realized that the sperm whale, which had been reduced to a group of snakes for lunch, was not completely dead. Its eyeballs had been eaten long ago. However, the two bloody holes were still slightly undulating, and there was a steady flow of blood flowing out of them. It was as if it was crying for its own fate.

Zhang Heng stopped in his tracks and raised the T-148 in his hand. “Looks like you’re not willing to be eaten just like that. In that case, let me send you on your way.” With that, he pulled the trigger of the spray gun again, the thick pillar of fire mercilessly charged toward the dying sperm whale.

Feeling the heatwave from behind, the snakes that were still eating started to feel uneasy. There was even a commotion. Some of the snakes stopped their mouths and stood up in alert. However, in the face of the oncoming fire, this instinctive action did not work.

Soon, the snakes were engulfed by flames. Because the body of the sperm whale was too big, Zhang Heng even turned the muzzle a few times to ensure that the fire burned every inch of the whale’s skin.

The fuel used by the T-148 was extremely flammable, and the whale’s body was rich in blubber. All Zhang Heng had to do was light it up. Under the burning pillar of fire, the whale quickly turned into a huge candle. Even though Zhang Heng had moved the flamethrower, the flames on its body did not go out. Instead, they burned brighter and brighter.

However, the sperm whale did not show any signs of pain. In fact, it even let out a whale’s cry in the midst of the raging flames.

This was the first time Ma Lu had heard a whale’s cry, and it was at a subway station. No one would believe it even if they heard it.

The voice sounded melodious and low as if coming from the depths of the deep ocean. It contained a faint sense of loneliness. However, Ma Lu did not know if it was his own misconception—he detected a hint of undetectable joy from the loneliness. It was as if the sperm whale assassin hadn’t reached the end of its life but had returned to the deep sea and swam freely in the ocean.

Zhang Heng also heard the whale’s cry, but his hands didn’t stop moving. He continued to burn the open space around the giant whale with a pillar of fire. There were still many snakes that hadn’t been able to climb up the sperm whale’s body before. If nothing went wrong, they might have to face off against Yermenga in the future. Zhang Heng didn’t want to face a sea of snakes at that time, so he used this opportunity to clear out the monsters before the boss battle.
