10. Underwater Dragon Palace
Tang Xiaole swam underwater for a while, but no matter what, her body couldn't float, she could only sink down, and slowly sank to the bottom, she stood up straight, and under the water, which was originally covered with a layer of shallow silt, opened a path paved with stones, which meandered to the end.
She walked for a while, and did not feel the slightest obstacle because of the buoyancy of the water, but as if walking on the ground, she looked up and saw the Dragon Palace not far away, the corridor was straight, the main hall was cloudy, and the layers of palaces were unreal.
Tang Xiaole walked into the golden gate, strangely, there was not a single shrimp soldier and crab general outside the door, the surroundings were quiet and a little weird, she bumped her courage forward, the path became rugged, like a step up the stairs, not far away, Brother Zi was in the air.
The palace was originally gorgeous, but now it was in mid-air, to be precise, under the water, closer to the surface of the water.
The path is no longer paved with cobblestones, it has become transparent crystal, and it has turned into light blue under the reflection of the sea, and Tang Xiaole can't find the north with a little starlight, and there are a few corals and starfish on both sides of the path, lazily moving with the water waves.
It was like entering a deserted castle, Tang Xiaole stepped cautiously, because the surrounding scene was too realistic, she forgot that she was in a game, she clenched the dragon tongue bow, giving herself the greatest comfort, because it was daytime, so the light under the water was still good.
When she walked to the top layer of the palace, she saw a trace of life, but unfortunately when she walked in, she found that the shrimp crabs were already on all fours, what should I do, there is no one here, how to get out?
In a trance, Tang Xiaole seemed to see a beautiful shadow, covered in pale golden clothes, swaying skirts swaying to the ground, white hair hanging down long, skin like condensation and gloomy air, exuding an elegant atmosphere all over his body, because of his white hair, the whole person exuded a strange feeling.
She turned around, the tears in the corners of her eyes were not completely dry, and she was overjoyed when she saw Tang Xiaole's appearance.
"Woo, the girl in white, it's time for you." The white-haired woman stepped forward to greet Tang Xiaole familiarly, and when she saw her like this, Miss Tang realized that she was playing a game, and her heart was a lot more relaxed, and it was a big deal to hang back to the novice village when she died.
"Why are you crying, girl?" Tang Xiaole asked, "Also, can you tell me what kind of place this is, and what is the way to get out?" ”
"You don't even know what kind of place this is?" The white-haired girl looked surprised, her face was full of disbelief, but after a while, she became sad, "It's no wonder you don't know the way, the Dragon Palace has been in decay for many days, and it's not an exaggeration for outsiders to know it, alas." ”
The white-haired woman sighed heavily, that tone contained too much helplessness and reluctance, and of course there were many stories, this is what Tang Xiaole was most concerned about, the hidden task, she laughed in her heart, picked up the conversation with the NPC, and asked: "I don't know who the girl is, what onlookers are with this Dragon Palace, and I just walked all the way and saw the desolation all around, what happened to the Dragon Palace over the years?" ”
"In a melee fifty years ago, the Six Realms all participated in it, but the worst outcome was that the Six Realms suffered heavy casualties, and no one defeated anyone, which seemed to be a doomed thing. Ryugu was the cannon fodder in that battle, and that's what you see now. The white-haired girl finished speaking, her face full of sadness.
"They're all dead?" Tang Xiaole asked, still shocked, the white-haired girl's expression was too realistic.
"My father is dead, and my uncle and brothers have been taken away by the people of the underworld, and they will never be seen again." The girl in white was full of pain, as if she recalled those bloody memories, "I was originally the seventh princess of the dragon clan, Long Fu'er, but I was able to survive after that battle, but I never thought of being killed by Xiao Lang, and now I am just a wisp of soul." ”
What, this woman is a soul? Tang Xiaole was taken aback, didn't he say that the souls were all floating in the air?
"Because the obsession in my heart is too deep, so I turned into a wisp of ghost, if I also return to the Dragon Palace that day, I may see the last side of my father, and I won't regret it like this." Long Fu'er said, tears had already fallen, but unfortunately she was a ghost, she couldn't see anything, only the hideous face.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Tang Xiaole asked directly, and he didn't know how to comfort her, he could only think that this was just a pile of data, and he didn't feel so uncomfortable in his heart.
"I originally wanted to see my father again, but now I think it's impossible, a shallow girl in white, please take this to my brother, Long Yan, he will naturally understand when he sees this, this is my heart......" After Long Fu'er finished speaking, Tang Xiaole's hand had an extra piece of jade pendant, which was as warm as mutton fat, but it was a piece of high-quality jade.
System reminder: Shallow in white, do you accept the task - gods and demons, the first round of Fu'er's obsession?
"That Fu'er, I don't know how to go to the underworld, how can I meet your brother?" Tang Xiaole didn't take the task stupidly this time, she had to ask clearly, not to mention that she didn't know how to get out of the road.
"I forgot this, after the end of the war, the underworld realm sank into the underground, and the underworld was in the same plane, alternating with each other, but it did not affect each other, you take this, from now on, wait until the moon is eight years to go to the realm of spirits and ghosts to enter the underworld." Long Fu'er explained, but Tang Xiaole immediately opened the map, and did not find the realm of spirits and ghosts on the open map, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Is it an unopened field? Thinking of the unknown nature of the task, Miss Tang retreated slightly, but after eight years of moonfall, there is still a lot of time to prepare, since it is a task from the system, it can naturally be solved, looking at the prompts of the system, or going down in turns, she really doesn't want to give up.
"What is the reward for the mission? Can you tell us about it beforehand? Tang Xiaole asked cheekily, she didn't want to go to Daoshan for nothing.
"You'll know when you're done, but I see that you're so weak, it seems that you will be devoured if you enter the underworld, and self-preservation is a problem, how can this be good?" Long Fu'er said to herself, Tang Xiaole was deeply despised!!
Indignant in her heart, she swallowed that breath, looked at Long Fu'er's expression of regret but had to accept reality, and said, "Long Qi Princess, do you have a way to improve quickly?" ”
Long Fu'er thought for a while, her eyes fell on Tang Xiaole's bow and arrow, and her little face raised and sighed: "It's actually a divine bow, you can be regarded as a bargain, since you are an archer, then these should be suitable for you, you take it first, practice your martial arts and then go, don't wipe the face of the dragon clan." ”
