Chapter 400 Mother Dragon
The waves sparkle under the blue sky, and seagulls fly freely between the sky and the sea.
Mountains are scattered randomly on the sea, like stars in the night sky, and their shapes are like countless stone towers covered with lush vegetation.
Halong Bay is a typical limestone karst bay with overlapping mountains and sea and beautiful scenery. It is known as the "Guilin on the Sea" and is a famous tourist attraction.
The bay between the mountains is like a water maze, with cruise ships shuttling back and forth. People lean on the railings to look out at the lush scenery and bathe in the warm breeze of the tropical humid monsoon climate.
"Mom, look, what a big fish!" the little girl shouted crisply, pointing towards the distance.
"Where?" The young mother turned her head and did not see any fish. There were only the remaining clear water waves rippling in her field of vision.
The white ripples spread far away, and the arc that divided the water surface extended to the end of the sight, which showed that it was indeed a big fish.
Of course, the premise is really fish.
“Maybe it’s not fish~” the guide on the boat joked, “Do you know the origin of the name Halong Bay?”
"Is it related to dragons?" someone asked.
The guide was waiting for these words, and immediately began to tell this legendary story that had been told countless times: "At the beginning of Annan's founding, people lived a happy and healthy life. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Annan was invaded by foreign enemies. Legend has it that these enemies were monsters with demonic fire burning in their eyes! Just as they were about to land on the ground from the sea, a dragon descended from the sky. It brought its children and started a fierce battle with the enemy. It spewed out countless pearls from its mouth, which turned into thousands of stone islands, which are the mountains on the sea that everyone sees. Because it was too sudden, the enemy's ships crashed into the stone mountains one after another and then sank. In this way, with the help of the dragon, we won, and the dragon felt that the scenery here was pleasant and the people were hardworking and kind, so he did not return to heaven but stayed here to become a patron saint!"
Well, a very old story.
“So it’s called Halong Bay? I see.”
"Tsk, it seems like all tourist attractions have similar stories!"
"Yes, it's just a fabrication. We have to add some cultural background and historical context before we can raise the price."
"Just listen for fun. Shenlong? If such a creature really existed, fossils would have been discovered long ago!"
……
The sea area fifty kilometers south of Halong Bay.
The leisurely schools of fish were suddenly panicked and in chaos, scattering like children leaving school after the sluice gates were opened. The vast deep sea suddenly became empty and silent.
Wow!
The water temperature rises and the water flow becomes more violent.
Samson arrived at the area from far away carrying Chu firewood, and the former stopped swimming at high speed at the signal of the latter.
"Do you smell the scent of your own kind?" Chu Xin touched Samson's head covered with spikes, as if giving a dog a loving caress.
"Roar~~~" Samson snorted. He really liked this.
Dragons can speak and can easily learn human language, but Samson is special. Although he has a normal IQ, he cannot speak, which is a biological defect.
A week ago, Chu Xin headed south, searching for prey through the Word Spirit, Blood Knot and his keen sense of his own kind as a dragon king, intending to stretch his muscles before making a cocoon.
However, after a few days, the strongest prey it encountered was a completely transformed Deadpool. Even though it could tear a brown bear apart with its bare hands and eat a tiger alive, it could not withstand a simple slap from Chu Xin.
Just when Chu Xin was feeling bored, the Bloodline Knot suddenly condensed into an extremely bright silk thread and guided him there.
Combining the surrounding environment with local legends, it is not difficult to judge that a real dragon is hiding or sleeping here!
In fact, Kassel College knows the background story about the dragon of Halong Bay. After all, the dragon clan was glorious in ancient times and had a profound influence on all aspects of human civilization. Many myths are closely related to them, so the college also sent specialists to Halong Bay to conduct investigations and surveys, but unfortunately nothing was found, so it is speculated that the legendary dragons have long left or died.
The Executive Department also has hybrids using the Bloodline Jie Luo, and they have also explored this place, but still found nothing.
There is an extremely important principle behind this word spirit: the stronger the individual, the easier it is to be discovered, but some individuals are strong enough to hide themselves and isolate themselves from the resonance. Stronger individuals can even use the bloodline resonance to kill the person who releases the word in turn, destroying their brain and soul, because the person who releases the word is mentally defenseless when using this word spirit.
But the same words will have completely different effects when released by different users. With Chu Xin's identity and authority, even the Black Emperor Nidhogg would find it difficult to hide completely.
"It's hidden quite deep under the seabed."
Chu Xin soon made a discovery. Following clues, he found a series of cracks that followed a regular pattern. From a bird's-eye view, they were naturally formed and there was nothing unusual about them.
But when he puts himself in the dragon's shoes and changes his angle to observe, he can discover the mystery.
This is a small Nibelung built using alchemical formulas!
The so-called Nibelungen is a fictitious space created by alchemy, with a folded internal space and stopped time, but this space is real and is a subsidiary space modified on the basis of the real space. Nibelungen is usually created by dragon king-level dragons, and a few gifted second-generation and third-generation species can also do it.
Norton's Bronze City is a Nibelung, and the space within the city is far more vast than the volume observed from the outside with the naked eye.
Normally, it is impossible to enter without a key or the owner's permission.
Obviously, Chu Xin did not belong to the general category. The alchemy array that other people had no clue about or even did not discover at all fell into his eyes. He actually learned it by himself without any guidance, and it was as easy to understand as single-digit addition and subtraction.
He stretched out his hand and scratched the seabed, releasing one or two auxiliary word spirits, and finally pressed down hard on a stone peak.
Wow!
Suddenly, a turbulent stream of water burst out from the sunken pit, and dense bubbles enveloped Chu Xin and Samson, who then went in.
When he regained his vision, he was already in another world. This was the Nibelungen of the unknown dragon clan.
The area is not large, at most the size of a standard football field, and the overall structure is a closed cave. The cracks at the back for entry and exit seem to be an invisible barrier that isolates the sea water and also separates the two worlds, one big and one small.
There was nothing superfluous, except for a thick stone pillar standing in the center connecting the upper and lower parts.
There are traces of human carving on the stone pillars. The carving is not very exquisite, but it is not difficult to see that a lot of thought and effort was put into it.
"God Tianyi?" Chu Xin read out a few Chinese characters on the stone pillar.
Although the word "Zi" is a Chinese character, this deity has nothing to do with Chinese. She is the goddess of the ocean and rivers in Annan, protecting coastal fishermen on their voyages, similar to Mazu.
Chu Xin didn't think that the King of Ocean and Water was hidden here, because he didn't feel any threat from bloodline of the same level, and the scale of Nibelungen didn't match the identity and ability of the Dragon King.
However, we can roughly guess that the one living here is a water dragon, most likely a subject of the King of Ocean and Water.
“The legend of Halong Bay is not groundless.” Chu Xin muttered.
A series of clues indicate that this dragon had a group of loyal local believers many years ago, and she also enjoyed the offerings and faith of humans, but the half-blood families eventually discovered her and formed a fleet to attack her. Realizing that she had been exposed, she decisively built the Nibelungen and has been dormant ever since. As for the children mentioned in the legend, most of them are her dead servants.
"This also imposes an alchemical formula."
Chu Xin walked up to the stone pillar and struck it heavily in sequence, immediately destroying the stable structure of the ritual.
Rumble~
He stepped back ten meters and watched the stone pillars begin to crumble and disintegrate.
The broken stones cracked and fell off, and the stone pillar became thinner in a short while. In the billowing smoke and dust, the true appearance hidden inside was revealed.
A sleeping monster!
The dense azure scales all over its body are like gorgeous, warm gems, emitting an icy cold air.
The tail is huge, like a mermaid's, and the tail fin is more like a beautiful fish tail, like a bride's gorgeous skirt.
There are two pairs of slender limbs on the streamlined torso, and crystal thin flesh wings are attached to the back. Unlike Samson, who is covered with hideous spikes and protrusions, it is not full of hideous spikes and protrusions. Instead, it exudes a sense of charm.
The slender neck is winding, and at the top is a small and charming dragon head. At first glance, it looks a bit like the white female dragon in "How to Train Your Dragon", but it is more ferocious.
Its straight-line length is about twenty meters, but at this moment it looks like a vine entwined around the stone pillar, forming the shape of a coiled dragon pillar.
It is like a masterpiece of art, which perfectly displays the physical beauty of the dragon.
"Next generation seed? This blind box is quite good."
Chu Xin was in a good mood and had evil thoughts in his mind.
hum~~~
The beds for sleeping were dismantled, and the dragons naturally woke up gradually.
All the scales on its body began to tremble, a pair of dragon eyes slowly opened, the air pressure fluctuated, the elements became active, and the golden pupils burst into light.
hum!
However, as Chu Xin also lit up his golden eyes, the next generation immediately became like an ignorant firefly trying to compete with the bright moon. Its body trembled in fear, and its degree of shock was no less than that of someone sleeping in class and being slapped awake by the patrolling dean of studies.
Not caring about being grouchy, tired, or having a distracted soul, this first generation quickly slid down the stone pillar, eyes filled with "I don't understand, but I'm shocked."
It's not its fault. After all, not everyone can experience the Dragon King's wake-up service, and no dragon would want to experience it. It's too scary. If it were a human, we would definitely not want to open our eyes in the morning and see the friendly face of our class teacher or boss.
Wow!
The next generation slid to its knees at the speed of light, kneeling in front of the tiny Chu Xin with its dragon body.
"Greetings to the King of Bronze and Fire. May I ask if you are Lord Norton?" A trembling female voice came from her mouth.
"She is really a mother dragon." Chu Xin said secretly.
I wrote this chapter while perfecting the outline, so it took me too long to finish it.
