Chapter 7: The Dragon Palace (I)

The ancient literati and writers have rendered the West Lake water as beautiful as a fairy, but who has really thrown herself into her arms, I can't recite poetry and make music, but at the moment I am drinking the West Lake water.

I instinctively held my breath and swung my arms slightly to swim out of the water, but it seemed that a pair of hands grabbed my ankles tightly, no matter how hard I tried, the lake looked out of reach, and the more I resisted, the deeper I sank, and just now I could see the afterglow of the moon in the sky through the water, but now there was only darkness left.

I think I'm about to drown now, I have no strength in my legs and feet, and I can't hold it anymore, the instinct to survive has kept me struggling to persevere, but I don't see the slightest hope of being able to live, unless a life jacket appears in the lake now, I really have only one way to die.

I couldn't take it anymore, I let go of my breath, and suddenly I felt a fishy smell coming to my nose, and the water poured into my body, as if rushing into my skull, and I could no longer calm down, because the fear of death had destroyed every nerve in me.

Death has captured me, and I can't escape it anymore.

But after a long time, I gradually realized that something seemed unusual. I seemed to be able to breathe, I didn't feel any suffocation or pain, and my lungs were still contracted as if they were on land. And I've been falling, as if falling into a bottomless ocean, how can West Lake be so deep?

A figure appeared in my field of vision, and I could faintly see that it was the girl who pushed me into the water. She was swimming softly towards me, her long hair fluttering like a strapping in the water, and her every movement was so light and natural, as if she was born from the water. I hated her so much, that her beautiful face had a heart like a femme fatale, and she wanted to kill me for no reason.

Seeing that the girl was about to swim in front of me, I instinctively tried to avoid it, but I couldn't move, and the water was full of tremendous pressure, like an invisible chain, binding my hands and feet rigidly. The girl was getting closer and closer, and I was terrified, and my eyes were wide open.

But she just came over and touched my face gently, and even though it was in the water, I could feel that she didn't have the slightest strength at all.

What is this doing? First he tried to kill me viciously, but now he is gentle with me.

The girl let go of me, and then twisted her body slightly, only to see countless bubbles around her, which gathered around her body as if she were thinking, and slowly the blisters completely obscured her figure.

When I saw her again, she was no longer human.

Her body was infinitely elongated by the current, like a belt, her slender legs were gone, the ends kept stretching outward, and the fluttering black hair grew longer and longer, gradually obscuring my entire vision. I saw countless glittering scales on her body, all of which glowed blue, and at some point two horns sprouted on the top of her head, yes, two sharp horns like elk.

What kind of strange creature is this? I asked myself repeatedly.

Actually, I'm not surprised by the appearance of this monster now.,I've long guessed that she's an animal incarnation.,But now that she's in shape, I don't recognize what it is.,It looks like a water snake.,But compared to the water snake, she's a little bigger.。

It dawned on me that this must be a dragon. Although it is not as large as described in the book, such proportions and such a body composition are indeed very similar to the dragons we have passed on by mouth. It's just that she doesn't have a beast-like head like the dragon we imagined, she still has her original face, but her neck is covered with scales from the neck down.

She gently grabbed my back with her hand, then dragged me and began to drill down rapidly. It was so fast, like a roller coaster, it made me feel dizzy, and the strong water pressure squeezed my body, giving me the illusion that I had been compressed into a piece of paper.

As it continued to fall, I felt that the color of the water was slowly changing, at first it was a faint cyan, and now it has become a deep black, and the intensity of this color is like ink falling into clear water, and the deeper it goes, the heavier the precipitation.

I saw a huge glass ball not far away, and in the glass ball there was a city phantom like a miraculous building, and white snowflakes fluttered in it, like the snowflake balls that I used to play with when I was a child. It's just that this snowflake ball is too big, and the closer I get to it, the more I realize that it is incredibly large, far beyond my imagination, and its scale is almost comparable to a large palace.

What does this girl want to do? Did you want to take my head and hit the outer cover of the glass ball? If that's the case, then I'm definitely going to have my head blooming. I writhed in fear, shaking my head with no strength on my hands and feet, but the girl who had turned into a dragon didn't care about any of my movements, and she led me straight towards the orb. As I watched the outermost glass get closer and closer, I closed my eyes in fright, and it was pitch black in front of me, and my whole body suddenly lost consciousness, only to hear the sound of water running in my ears suddenly disappear, followed by the sound of howling wind and talking, and a biting chill.

After a long pause, I dared to open my eyes slowly, and then I was so shocked by the sight that I couldn't breathe.

I'm in another world.

This is a complex complex of buildings, I looked around, and found that all the buildings were made of stone, although they were stones, but the form was indeed like those buildings in ancient China, with tall steps, straight equidistant pillars, large sloping and curved roofs, resting on the top of the mountain, on the top of the hard mountain, and even on the top of the palace, even the dougong on it was meticulously carved. It is a museum of ancient buildings, and there are even many architectural styles that have not been recorded here. The buildings are lined with a variety of plants, both on land and in the ocean, and it's strange that the crimson coral reefs and willows grow together. I looked up at the sky again, and saw that there were stars and moons in the sky, but they were all images on the glass.

But what surprised me the most was that it was winter, and the goose feathers and snow were blowing in the wind, and the roofs of every building were covered with thick snow, and when I realized the problem, I realized that I only had a completely soaked vest on me, and my body was already shivering from the cold.

The girl fell beside me, she had already taken on a human form, still dressed in her humble clothes, and I asked her hurriedly. "Girl, where is this?"

"Dragon Palace!" The girl replied to me so short and forcefully that she didn't even want to look at me.

She waved her hand at a few guard-like people not far away, and those people did not dare to slack off and hurried over.

"Miss, what do you command?" The guards said respectfully to the girl. They were burly and had their hair scattered, and although they were wearing heavy armor, they could still see their pale faces in the gaps, and that color could really only be expressed in terms of pale white, which was uncomfortably white.

I suddenly noticed something, weren't these people the fish demons who attacked Yuge and them on Bird Island at that time? There is absolutely no mistake with this kind of body shape and such a complexion that is no different from those fish demons on the warships at that time. I thought to myself that this time it seemed to be a complete end, that I had fallen into their hands, that they had killed so many of their kind, and that they would surely make me worse off than dead now. However, the girl doesn't seem to be in the same category as these fish demons, and I can rule out the possibility that these fish demons are trying to harm me, and they don't seem to know who I am.

"You go get him a thicker coat, don't let him freeze to death here, we have to clean it to save trouble." The girl said coldly.

One of the guards hurried to a stone building behind him, and soon returned with a heavy velvet robe. Then he lowered his head and handed it to me, without the slightest intention of seeing who I was.

I was already numb in my limbs with cold, and I had been running back and forth just now to barely keep warm, but now that the velvet robe was handed over, I didn't have the slightest worry or doubt, and hurriedly put it on. This velvet robe is really a high-quality product, after wearing it, the cold feeling disappeared without a trace in an instant, and there was a warmth that slowly spread from the limbs to the inside of the body, which was very comfortable.

It was only upon closer inspection that I noticed that this velvet robe was a little strange, and the reason why I called it a velvet robe was because it was indeed the style of a robe when I looked at it from a distance. But when you put it on, you will find that the outer layer is not fluff at all, but something like dry grass, and it is hard to the touch in some places. The inner layer of the robe is slippery, a yellow, rubber-like substance.

The whole garment resembles a sea urchin that has been cut open.
