C35 (1/2)

There was a splash, and I fell like a stone into the well, crashing away. Holding my breath, I quickly pushed with my hands. My legs kicked wildly and I swam up. One head popped out of the water as I gasped for breath. Looking up, I saw only a white dot at the mouth of the well. Drops of rain were pouring down my face like beans.

The rain grew heavier, even mixed with hail. Inside the well, I could hear the roar of the wind outside. The sound of thunder became more urgent. Countless lightning bolts appeared at the same time and intertwined in the dark clouds, forming a huge net of light, illuminating the heaven and earth as bright as day. It was spectacular and impressive, but it was also filled with an intimidating pressure.

”Boom!” It was so loud that my eardrums buzzed. The buzzing in the well echoed endlessly. It was as if the entire sky had exploded. A dazzling pillar of light broke through the dark clouds and, like a huge sharp blade, plunged downwards with the force of a thunderbolt, piercing into the well.

Too fast. I didn't have time to react. There was only one thought in my head: ”I'm doomed!”

Said it was too late. The water below was suddenly stirred, and a dustpan of a hand grabbed my entire calf and yanked me down, making me sink into the water for an instant, pulling me down so deep I couldn't tell how much. But I could see the splendor of the well, the light shining through the water.

In addition, the temperature of the water suddenly increased by a lot as bubbles began to appear. It made me feel like I was in boiling water, so hot I opened my mouth to scream, but instead I swallowed a big mouthful of hot water, which flowed into my stomach and burned my esophagus and stomach. I felt a burning sensation on my tongue and lost all sensation. The skin seemed to be melting.

This feeling was extremely painful. Even my eyes were scalded. I hurriedly shut my eyes tightly. He desperately twisted his body. It was like a bean that had been dropped into boiling water. There was nowhere to run.

”It's over! This time, it's going to be cooked, it's going to be boiled to death! ” I thought desperately.

The big hand that was clutching my calf suddenly relaxed. ”In the next second, I was tightly entangled by a long, thick, ice-cold, hard body that I don't know what was.” Could it be that it is a giant python? ” But then he thought again, ”It shouldn't be a giant python, the python has no claws!”

My thoughts were completed in a flash of flint. When that huge, hard, ice-cold body was about to wrap around my head, I opened my eyes. He happened to see the creature's body emerging from the water and meeting the splendor of the well. The creature's head was like a lion's head, and its mane was dripping wet. It opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar. The well suddenly became dark.

The huge pillar of light that shot down from the sky was actually swallowed by that thing.

All this nonsense happened in less than half a minute.

After that, I was wrapped around my head by the cold and hard scales. I could no longer see anything. I was completely wrapped up within, tightly sealing off the scalding hot water. Ice-like spread all over my body, it gave me a refreshing feeling of comfort. At the same time, my anger has reached its limit and my mind is dizzy. If you don't let me take a breath of air, I'm afraid I'll faint from suffocation.

He really didn't know if that thing was here to save him, or if it wanted to eat him. The long body that was wrapping around me was actually shrinking, causing my body to be squeezed tighter and tighter. It was starting to hurt, and I felt like my bones were about to break. But before my bones broke, I passed out from lack of oxygen.

I didn't know how much time had passed when I woke up. His body was still in the water, but the water was already cold. My head was out of the water, free to breathe. I opened my mouth and sucked in a few greedy gulps of air. The well was dark. I looked up and saw the stars. It was already clear. It was night.

I couldn't sink in the water because I was stepping on something hard as stone. I don't know if it was carrying me. I didn't dare to think about it or move about in fear of alarming it. But it was hard to stay in the well like this.

I wish the thing below would never carry me again. I'd rather float by myself. Because I was so afraid of it. I don't know what it is. The main thing was that it was too big. It made me think of dragons.

Imagine a dragon carrying you in the water. Even if the dragon meant well, it was still a terrifying sight to behold. It's mainly because we don't have the ability to bring down the dragon. If the dragon isn't happy, we'll eat you! Normally, I would feel my scalp tingle when I saw a snake.

At this time, the thing he was stepping on had to be a 'snake'.

Strange to say, the thing below seemed to understand my intentions. Suddenly it sank, churning the water out of the well. He didn't know how deep this well was, to be able to hold such a huge monster. It must have sunk to the bottom of the well and curled up. I was busy treading water to keep from sinking.

I was scalded all over and it seemed like it was serious. There was a burning pain everywhere, including on his face and his eyes. It has a tongue, esophagus, and stomach. He thought to himself, I better not leave behind any scars, or I'll really turn into a monster.

Gradually, the sun rose outside. I felt very tired and I wanted to close my eyes. However, he had to constantly tread on the water. Ye Zichen raised his hand up to see how hot it was, and saw that his arm and hand had indeed been scalded badly. Coupled with the fact that he had been soaked in water for a long time, the rotten flesh was swollen and white, as if it was covered in a thick layer of pimples.

The well water was stirred again. The thing below came up and touched me again, as if to carry me. I stopped my sore legs and stepped on it. I was no longer afraid, but rather moved. I started to have a good impression of the big guy below me. ”If you don't mind, we can be friends,” he said fawningly.

It did not speak. But I thought it was.

And so it became my first real friend.
