mysterious forerunner

Chapter 354 Sea Monster

"Shall I buy you a cup of coffee?"

The Nordic girl with a strong personality handed the coffee cup that had just left her lips to Zhang Qingxiang.

She was tall and toned, with straight, long legs and round breasts wrapped in tight jeans.

On each knuckle of the five fingers holding the coffee cup, there is a symbol tattooed that looks like ancient writing or a totem.

There is a special charm emanating from his whole body, wild and muscular, just like some dark elf in ancient mythology.

She raised her eyebrows towards Zhang Qing in a provocative and teasing manner.

Zhang Qingxiang seemed to be under some kind of spell. He walked up to her in a daze, took the coffee cup from her hand, took a sip carefully, and then returned the cup to her.

The girl smiled triumphantly and opened the door of the coffee shop: "Come in."

Zhang Qingxiang walked in obediently. The coffee shop was only about 20 square meters, and half of the room was already filled with people standing in an orderly manner.

They are stacked one next to the other, like neatly packed goods in a box, leaving the other half of the space to wait for new "goods" to come in.

Zhang Qingxiang estimated that when the "box" was filled, there would be about one hundred and fifty people.

The unique Nordic girl was still standing by the wall at the door. Soon, three women who were shopping came on the street. The Nordic girl showed a charming smile and said, "I'll buy you a cup of coffee."

Then three women also came in and stood behind Zhang Qingxiang, motionless.

The store was completely silent, no one was talking, and everyone seemed to be on a sleep mode.

Occasionally someone's cell phone rang, but no one answered it.

Zhang Qingxiang guessed in his heart: "The [Witch] of Europa."

"She's collecting puppets."

"The question she asked is a secret technique used exclusively by witches. The coffee cup contains the witch's poison."

"It just so happens that it appears near the [Gate of Heaven], it can't be a coincidence."

"This means that something that the Heavenly Father Sect thought was confidential may have been leaked."

Zhang Qingxiang stood there quietly, like a real puppet.

More than an hour later, the coffee shop was full of people. Then the Nordic girl came in, and she moved nimbly through the coffee shop full of people, like a catfish moving through a school of sardines.

The Nordic girl came behind the counter and opened a secret door on the floor. A staircase led to the basement.

This is an old building with a very simple basement. The Nordic girl led everyone downstairs. One wall of the basement had been broken through, leading to the sewer on the street outside.

After passing through the smelly sewer, the group came to a place similar to a factory. The factory owners and workers here had already been turned into puppets.

There were two other men and women who were covered in tattoos like the Nordic girl waiting here: "Astrid, do you have enough people?"

The Nordic girl gestured with her hands: "Are you still not confident that I can take action? Two hundred people, gather them together."

The man was the thinnest of the two. He was a head shorter than his two female companions, and his skin was sickly pale.

"Great." He twisted his body like a drunk and opened his arms to hug Astrid. At the same time, seven illusory snake shadows stretched out from behind his neck in the empty shadows. The head of each snake was a smaller version of his head.

He not only wants a hug, but also a kiss.

The seven snake heads behind him also rushed forward.

Astrid stretched out her hand in disgust, and a ball of purple-black flame lit up in her palm, and quickly expanded to the size of a washbasin.

"Killiam, get out of here."

The man shrugged indifferently and turned to check the puppets. "Astrid, you have misunderstood me so deeply."

Another woman said, "The car is ready, let's go right away."

"The Skyfather Cult is stubborn and determined to open up the road to the Underworld. Only Jörmungandr can stop them!"

The Sky Father sect believes it is [Heaven], while the Nordic witches believe it is [Underworld].

These people want to stop the Heavenly Father Sect and seem to be on the "righteous" side, but Zhang Qingxiang doesn't think so.

In the previous life, these [witches] in Northern Europe acted in an extreme and eccentric way, and would do anything to achieve their goals.

Astrid used secret medicine to create two hundred puppets, which proved that they acted in the same style as the witches in the previous life.

There were several old buses parked in front of the factory, and Astrid ordered all the puppets to get on the buses.

Zhang Qingxiang was mixed in the crowd. When he walked into the car, he saw a blood-eyed crow standing on the roof of a building diagonally opposite.

When the bus started moving, the crows took off with it.

After more than ten kilometers, the car left the town and drove along the coastal road.

Astrid, Guilliam and the other woman were all in the car where Zhang Qingxiang was.

They sat in the front seat and Killiam drove.

Suddenly he glanced at the rearview mirror and let out an angry growl. Seven snake heads jumped out from the shadows behind him: "Damn it, someone is following us--"

Four heavy motorcycles appeared in the rearview mirror. The riders were wearing black suits, but a little white was visible at the collar below the helmets.

Astrid grabbed hold of Killian who was about to jump out: "Rook will take care of them."

A huge shadow appeared on the road, covering a hundred meters of road surface.

Thousands of meters in the sky, the blood-eyed crow spread its wings.

The four motorcyclists were shrouded in shadows, from which countless giant frost claws stretched out out of thin air. Some suddenly appeared above their heads, some directly broke through the ground and grabbed the front wheels of the motorcycles, and some had pierced the riders' helmets.

There was a sound of a car accident from behind the bus.

Then everything became quiet.

The bus continued to move forward. Four heavy motorcycles on the road were deformed by the crash. Some of the four riders were thrown out, and some were crushed under the vehicles. Blood flowed like a stream.

The blood-eyed crow was still soaring in the sky above the roof of the car.

Zhang Qingxiang sat motionless in the car, seemingly unaware of what was happening behind him.

The convoy stopped at a deserted beach.

Astrid got off the car first and made a strange sound. This "command" made the puppets get off the car obediently. Then they started collecting rocks near the beach according to the instructions and arranged a strange pattern on the beach.

The [witches] are confident in their secret potions and spells, and the puppets can travel great distances to collect rocks.

Overhead, blood-eyed crows kept watch.

Zhang Qingxiang also collects rocks like a normal puppet.

At the beginning, when he "cooperated" with Astrid, Zhang Qingxiang was just a little curious about why these [witches] appeared in the territory of the Sky Father Sect.

But in the factory, Zhang Qingxiang heard the name "Jörmungandr" and decided to stay and see what was going on.

"Jörmungandr" is a sea serpent in Norse mythology, and this place happens to be by the sea.

Now Zhang Qingxiang even speculates that the mythical creatures around the world are likely to be traces left by the mystics in history.

It took several hours for two hundred puppets to finally arrange themselves into a huge rock "symbol" on the coast hundreds of meters away.

It was already dark by this time and the sound of the waves was growing louder.

Astrid gave another spell and all two hundred puppets walked to a position in the symbol and stood still.

This strange symbol made of rocks looks like a giant sea snake when viewed from the sky!

The location where the two hundred puppets stood was exactly the "Shekou".

Zhang Qingxiang shook his head secretly. These [witches] were undoubtedly the enemies of the Heavenly Father Sect, but he definitely did not want to be friends with them.

They obviously wanted to sacrifice all two hundred people to "Jörmungandr"!
Astrid said, "Shezhika, go and get ready. I will monitor the sea."

The other witch among the three walked into the puppet, took out various mysterious materials, mixed them with her own blood, and mixed them into a dark red pigment.

Then he dipped his finger in ink and drew a fishhook-shaped rune on the forehead of each puppet.

After the rune is formed, it will emit a fine dark red light and then disappear into the skin.

Zhang Qingxiang still did not resist. Xie Rika touched his forehead with his finger. He stared straight ahead, not moving at all.

But Shezhika's finger passed across his forehead without leaving any mark.

"Huh?" Xie Rika was surprised, and Zhang Qingxiang quickly restrained his strength in secret.

His own rank was too high, and the witch power used by Sherika was suppressed and rejected by nature.

If Zhang Qingxiang did not restrain his power, the fishhook-shaped rune would never have appeared on his body.

Xie Rika drew it again, and this time the rune took shape smoothly.

Xie Zhika smiled and didn't think much about why he failed the first time.

The power of this rune was wrapped in Zhang Qingxiang's power and analyzed in detail.

If Jörmungandr swallows these two hundred "bait" in one gulp, two hundred "fish hooks" will be hooked on its soul.

The more you struggle, the deeper you get hooked, and the more painful it will be.

Xie Rika was exhausted after drawing the rune.

Guilliam opened his arms enthusiastically, trying to pick her up.

Astrid pushed his hand away and supported Shezhika.

Shezhika leaned all over Astrid and kissed her on the neck.

Killiam grumbled in dissatisfaction: "What a waste!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was an extremely loud sound of waves from the deep sea. The blood-eyed crow fell from the sky and stood on the huge reef next to it.

Astrid said, "Jörmungandr is here!"

The three of them used some unknown secret technique and sank silently into the beach.

The blood-eyed crow also disappeared.

Two hundred puppets stood there like wooden stakes.

Boom——

Boom——

Huge waves kept hitting the shore, and terrifying monsters were hidden in the dark sea.

The concentration of the mysterious energy around him increased sharply! Zhang Qingxiang frowned secretly. This was a powerful secret spirit.

The sea water has submerged the entire rock symbol as the tide rises, but the rock emits a faint dark red light in the darkness.

Two hundred puppets were soaking in the sea water, and the water level was rising little by little from their ankles to their chests.

These puppets are just ordinary people. With the surging sea water, they should have been unable to stand steadily, but now they seem to be firmly fixed in place by some force.

Suddenly, a gigantic head ten meters in size slowly rose from the water, and its eyes suddenly opened, revealing a cold ice-blue color - just ten meters in front of the two hundred puppets!
It looked a bit like the evil dragon in Western mythology. It sniffed with its two huge nostrils, greed flashed in its eyes, and then it opened its mouth wide, ready to swallow the bait in one gulp!
Zhang Qingxiang remained motionless, certain that it would not be fooled.

This is a powerful secret spirit in the [Realm of Domination]!

If it was just the [Transcendent Realm], even if it was the ninth level, it would swallow these baits in one gulp.

Even if they know it is a bait, they cannot control their instincts.

But after reaching the [Realm of Domination], intelligence completely overcomes instinct.

The giant sea snake opened its mouth, which was more than fifty meters long, and bit down fiercely -

But at the last moment, it suddenly changed direction and slammed into the place where Astrid and the other two were hiding!
boom!
The waves rose into the sky.

The huge snake's body appeared in the water in an "S" shape, and a ball of dark red spiritual light in the water exploded. That was the witches' secret method of concealing and protecting themselves, but it was bitten by the giant beast.

"what--"

Killian's screams were quickly drowned out by the sound of huge waves.

All seven strange snakes were released from the shadows behind him, each of them was twenty meters long.

He looks very scary at first, and could scare many people to tears if taken alone, but when put together with "Jörmungandr"... he becomes a little cutie.

Jörmungandr slapped his tail and Gilliam flew into the air. He couldn't understand: "What's going on? According to the legend, there is nothing wrong with our arrangement..."

He was halfway through his roar when Jörmungandr suddenly rushed out of the sea, and his huge head hit Killiam heavily, knocking him dozens of meters away.

Killiam screamed again. His whole body went limp as he fell, and his bones were probably all broken.

Jörmungandr suddenly disappeared again.

Astrid and Shezhika stood together on a rock protruding from the water, back to back, looking at the dark water around them in horror.

Zhang Qingxiang laughed secretly. These two Nordic girls were quite cunning. They pretended to be terrified, but they were actually seducing Jörmungandr.

The blood-eyed crow Luke is hiding somewhere, ready to launch a sneak attack!
Zhang Qingxiang turned around and looked again. Oh, it seemed that no one was paying attention to us.

The water has risen to my neck.

Zhang Qingxiang released the [Steam Engine Core], which turned into a steamship, and loaded the two hundred unlucky guys on board.

"Suddenly..."

Two thick chimneys at the rear of the steamship spewed out two streams of thick black smoke, rushing towards the coast.

Zhang Qingxiang did what he wanted, not caring about the giant sea snake and the witches next to him.

Jörmungandr had just half of his head floated out of the sea, and the blood-eyed crow Luke had just emerged from the darkness, in a state of half reality and half illusion.

Astrid and Shezhika showed expressions of great horror when they saw Jörmungandr.

Then it was interrupted by a tractor-like rumbling sound.

Jörmungandr, the Blood-Eyed Crow and the two witches turned around and looked at them: You are so rude!
The steam ship transformed by [Steam Engine Core] is huge, but compared with Jörmungandr, it is just a small toy.

Zhang Qingxiang's attitude of not even looking at this side made Jörmungandr feel even more offended!
The sea water around it boiled and produced a large number of bubbles, then it suddenly turned around, breaking through the huge waves and rushing towards Zhang Qingxiang.

The Blood-Eyed Raven and the two witches were ecstatic: What a good opportunity!

The Blood Eyed Crow instantly opened its territory—

The sea where Jörmungandr is located is frozen!
Countless giant frost claws stretched out from all directions and grabbed towards Jörmungandr, aiming directly at Jörmungandr's most vulnerable eyes.

Click!

All the giant frost claws exploded together.

The frozen sea surface melted rapidly.

The shadow field released by the Blood-Eyed Crow was burned to ashes by a blue flame!
"Ah-"

The blood-eyed crow Luke screamed and fell from mid-air, with blood splattering from its beak.

A huge tail suddenly appeared behind the reef where the two witches were. It slapped down hard, and with a bang, the huge reef shattered and the two witches flew out.

Jörmungandr was too powerful and extremely intelligent. They wanted to plot against Jörmungandr, but ended up being plotted against by Jörmungandr instead.

The huge sea snake turned its head, with a mocking look in its ice-blue eyes.

The two witches fell from mid-air, covered in wounds.

Jörmungandr manipulated his power, and two huge water columns rose from the sea, trapping the two witches.

Astrid drew a few runes while spitting out blood, but unfortunately the runes were like an ant trying to shake a tree to Jörmungandr's "seawater cage".

The water rippled a few times, but the cage remained extremely solid.

A few splashes of water came out of Jörmungandr's nostrils with disdain, and then he continued to swim towards Zhang Qingxiang.

Killiam, with all the bones broken in his body, floated on the sea.

The moment Jörmungandr turned around and swam towards Zhang Qingxiang, he quietly opened one eye, then silently chanted a spell. The current gently pushed him towards the distant coast.

As for Astrid and Shezhika, I can’t do anything about them. I’ll just run away first.

laugh!
A jet of water suddenly shot out from the sea and pierced through Killian's head!
In through the back of the head and out through the mouth.

Then it dispersed with a splash, leaving only Guilliam's body on the sea.

His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open, as if he still couldn't believe that he was going to die like that.

Jörmungandr dived down suddenly, and his huge body disappeared.

Next, it could appear anywhere in the ocean and launch a deadly attack.

Astrid and Shezhika suddenly thought of a question: Who is this guy?
The two seawater cages were not far apart. Xie Rika looked at his lover in confusion: This is what you brought back.

Astrid was still trying hard to break the cage, and said unhappily, "I don't know who this guy is. I fed him the secret medicine on the roadside and he drank it obediently. How can I tell that a super strong man has no moral integrity?"

Perhaps because she felt like she was going to die, the usually very capable Astrid became more talkative: "But wouldn't it be better for this guy to sneak away on his own?"

"He wanted to rescue those two hundred people, but he alerted Jörmungandr. Isn't that a dead end?"

"A heart of saint."

"He may indeed be stronger than us, but his ending will still be the same as ours."

Zhang Qingxiang was sitting at the bow of the steamship at this moment.

The ship was loaded with two hundred wooden puppets.

It is actually very simple to remove Astrid's secret medicine. Just feed them some [Additive of All Things].

But Zhang Qingxiang couldn't bear to leave.

【All Additives】Use less and less.

Xie Rika had given up. This giant sea snake was even scarier than the legend said. She knew she was doomed to die. She looked at Zhang Qingxiang from afar in the seawater cage and felt that he looked a little too relaxed.

"Shouldn't he be struggling and panicking in the face of death just like us?"

Zhang Qingxiang was indeed sitting on the bow very easily, then he suddenly stretched his hand into the water, and then with a loud bang, he grabbed a huge head from under the water!

"what?!"

In the two seawater cages, Astrid and Shezhika opened their mouths wide and screamed in surprise.

Luke, the blood-eyed crow floating on the sea with a serious injury, had his feathers all standing up with a flutter.

Such a small hand was holding a ten-meter-long huge head.

The contrast of the picture was extremely strange, but everyone present clearly felt that it was indeed Jörmungandr who was caught by that hand.

Jörmungandr's huge ice-blue eyes were also filled with extreme astonishment.

I lurked closer quietly, intending to play a game of cat and mouse.

Otherwise, I would have swallowed this small boat of people in one gulp.

But somehow, it was caught by a small hand!

But I couldn't move.

Damn it, where did my unparalleled strength go?!

Why were everything from mysterious powers to physical bodies suppressed by him?

Zhang Qingxiang grabbed Jörmungandr and further confirmed that this secret spirit had already reached the third level of the [Transcendent Realm].

"What a pity." Zhang Qingxiang regretted that he had not reached the [Domination Realm] after all.

When will this director be able to have his third battle of domination?

Zhang Qingxiang also confirmed that this thing was just an ordinary sea snake, which was mysteriously infected and turned into a huge mysterious spirit.

It's not "Jörmungandr" at all.

However, for the [Beast Tamer], it is a rare and powerful secret spirit.

"Do you want to die or live?" Zhang Qingxiang asked.

It was just a simple inquiry. If Jörmungandr wanted to die, Zhang Qingxiang would fulfill his wish without hesitation.

A secret spirit at the [Command Realm] is precious, but in the future there will be more secret spirits at the Command Realm and even the Domination Realm.

Killing it now will allow us to obtain a large amount of secret materials, so it’s not a waste.

If it were handed over to Feng Lintong alive, Feng Lintong might not be able to control it. It is also possible that because the secret spirit is too powerful, Feng Lintong is too dependent on the secret spirit and this has delayed his own progress in cultivation.

The astonishment in Jörmungandr's eyes first turned into fear, and then into grievance.

It opened its mouth wide and cautiously whimpered like a puppy from deep in its throat.

Zhang Qingxiang slapped his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, because you are too smart, I forgot that you can't speak."

"Come, let me ask you again: if you miss, just nod your head; if you want to live, just shake your head..."

Jörmungandr made that aggrieved whining sound again.

Zhang Qingxiang slapped his forehead again: "Sorry, I forgot that I was holding your head and you couldn't move."

Zhang Qingxiang let go of his hand, and Jörmungandr had to make a choice between turning around and running, and making a choice obediently... In the end, he shook his head wildly in the water.
