Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 1

Are there really dragons in the world?

Xue Xian thought about this question a few days ago.

He stood on a tall float that was lifted by people's shoulders, surrounded by 770 snow-white weary bird flowers, and the light of Theia star passed over the main city and sprinkled on the human habitat continent.He bathed in the golden light, and sprinkled the petals of the tired bird in the container to the crowd.

The sacred ceremony is held once a year, and the main road in the main city is crowded with people who come to watch the ceremony.

The sacred car stops at seven steps to commemorate the 777th year that all human beings migrated to the infinite star.

People sang hymns, and after every song, Xue Xian lowered his eyelashes and said: "Human beings are eternal."

When they were less than ten meters away from the altar, there was a sudden noise from the crowd, and someone was crying, "Save my child! Save her!"

Xue Xian raised his eyes, and saw that the guards had already squeezed into the crowd in an orderly manner, and quickly separated the open space.

The float stopped moving in the chaos, Xuexian had quickly removed the heavy crown on his head, lifted the hem of the holy attire covering his feet with both hands, and got off the float barefoot.

"Son!"

"His Royal Highness Son!!"

People voluntarily parted ways for the Holy Son, Xuexian walked to the center of the crowd, and saw a seven or eight-year-old little girl with a large black air of death on her face.

Xuexian's expression changed slightly, but without hesitation, he took the little girl convulsed with pain from the mother's arms, and held her fingers that were protruding from the claws and oozing blood.The blue blood vessels on the little girl's neck had burst out and spread to the side of her face. Her legs were suddenly straightened, her eyes were wide open, and she let out a rapid gasp, which scared the people around her to scream again and again.

"Holy Son! Save her! Please!" The panicked mother knelt on the ground and cried, "Her soul, her soul..."

Xuexian didn't answer, but just lowered his head and kissed the little girl's forehead, and opened his lips to sing softly.

"People of Blue Star,

Across the bright galaxy.

We are not afraid of hard work,

Fight against the dangers of aliens.

We praise the true meaning of love, praise the pure soul.

We are not afraid of changes, we will kill the ancient evil spirits..."

The singing was soft, the distortion process slowed down, the little girl's convulsions seemed to be slowly weakening, and cheers erupted from the surrounding people.

But in the next second, the little girl's eyes suddenly turned gray and turned completely black. Sharp claws and sharp teeth emerged from her body, and she let out a shrill cry!

"Ahhhh!"

The people scattered and scattered, and the scene was chaotic.

"Holy Son! Please evacuate quickly!"

The believers stepped forward to fight Xuexian away, and the mother was also crying bitterly and was dragged away from the scene by the guards.

"Fifth degree distortion!" On the emergency airship floating above the crowd, a medical staff ordered, "Prepare for anesthesia!"

The little girl, or that severely deformed body, screamed wildly and made an attacking posture towards the people around her.

A tranquilizer gun was aimed at her in mid-air.

"Wait a minute!" Xue Xian yelled at the doctors and nurses, "Let me try again!"

"You can't save her!" Someone grabbed Xue Xian, "Her soul has been swallowed by evil spirits! Even you can't do it! Your Royal Highness! She will be sent to a nursing home for proper placement!"

The sound of breaking the sky sounded.

The deformity screamed and fell to the ground suddenly.

She looked in Xue Xian's direction, her pure black eyes seemed to be full of fear and helplessness, her trembling body gradually calmed down, and then completely lost consciousness.

"We need dragonfire!"

In the crowd, a voice suddenly shouted hoarsely.

"We have to burn her! She infects everyone, only dragon fire can burn evil spirits! We need dragon fire!"

"dragon?"

"Where is the dragon? The dragon is back?!"

The crowd began to seethe.

The young Son was surrounded and boarded the chariot again.

The hem of his snow-white clothes was stained with a few bloodstains, and he looked into the crowd with a pale face. The guards seemed to have caught a struggling and roaring old man, and the people around him were in a mess, but as the holy car moved forward, it soon became impossible to see clearly. up.

That night, Xuexian received an email on his bracelet.

The email came from a society that claimed to be "Mighty Eyes". The title was: "An accident occurred on the way to the holy scriptures. What can the incompetent Son do to the distortion?"

Bright Eyes has been quietly established for months, using an open eye as their logo.

They have mastered the public communications and quietly spread rumors that "faith is dead and the dragon has returned", saying that the 700-year-old "Purity of the Holy Son" is just a means to control people's hearts, but it actually reflects their helplessness against distortions.

Dragons, legendary creatures.

But on Infinity Star, they really exist in books, museums, or countless video materials.

The earth's energy is exhausted, and hundreds of millions of human beings have to migrate to the infinite star in batches in order to protect themselves.

1000 Two hundred years ago, the first group of humans brought tens of thousands of species from the earth to the Infinity Star for the first time. They simulated the ecological environment of the earth on this planet and sowed the seeds of hope. They were called "ancestors" by later generations.

Hundreds of years later, the earth changed more and more badly, and the second group of humans began to migrate here on a large scale.

Unexpectedly, the ancestors passed away, and although the remaining species had successfully multiplied on the infinite star, they were all attacked by unknown substances on the infinite star.Together with the second batch of human beings who boarded the infinite star, the unstoppable distortion began.

At first, scientists thought it was a kind of unknown radiation, or it was affected by an elusive magnetic field, and some people believed that it was a creature that originally belonged to the infinite star, similar to a kind of evil spirit, domineeringly parasitic in the human body, but has always been There are no clear results.

Most humans are born with one degree of distortion, up to a fifth degree.

Generally speaking, as long as all aberrants are inoculated with inhibitors at birth, and persist in inoculating once a year, the degree of aberrations can always be suppressed at one degree, which is enough for human beings to live a short life.

But there are also a small number of people who will suddenly be immune to inhibitors one day, and the degree of distortion will soar.

People who have reached the fifth degree of distortion can no longer be called human beings. They not only lose their souls and become monsters, but also spread the distortion to more people through gnawing. Even if they die, their burned bones will invade the soil. Contaminates all living things it comes into contact with.

Fortunately, dragons appeared on Infinity Star.

No one knows how this legendary creature appeared on the alien planet. Maybe they belonged here, or maybe they were one of the things spread by the ancestors. People only know that there are only deformed corpses burned by dragon fire , in order to completely suppress the distortion infection.

More than 700 years ago, when the aberration broke out, humans and dragons joined hands and paid a heavy price to almost reshape civilization before cleaning up all the five-degree aberrations.

The dragon fire burned for three days and three nights on the habitat continent, and the flames lit up the sky.

But the nature of dragons is extremely vicious and bloodthirsty, and they even tried to take the opportunity to destroy the human monopoly infinite star.After the Human-Dragon War, humans won the final victory and wiped out the evil dragon.

The day when everything ends is called the "Day of Chaos" by history, which symbolizes the breaking of chaos by human beings and the real rebirth of aliens.

Since then, human beings have relied on the Holy Son to sing soul songs to expel evil spirits and let uncontrolled distortions rest in peace. This method has been implemented for 700 years.

In the email, the "Mingmu" club criticized Xue Xian as useless, with words such as "marionette", "cowardly and incompetent", "jumping clown", and "deceitful stick".

For the first time, Xue Xian knew that someone had such great malice towards him.He looked down angrily, but his eyes widened slightly.

——The anesthetized mutant really went to a sanatorium?

No one can answer this question.

As we all know, there is a vast Black Sea outside the mainland.

A little further past is the storm harbor where hurricanes and huge waves are raging, and no one can pass through.

"Mingmu" put forward a new idea. They believed that the dragon was not extinct at all, but settled in a corner on several deserted islands outside Storm Harbor.

Those in power are unable to deal with the deformed body, so they call it recuperation, but in fact, in order to prevent future troubles, they have sent all the former relatives to Longyu.The dragon fires there will burn the aberrations to ashes, making it impossible for the pollution to return to the continent, once and for all.

"Stop lying, tell the truth."

"Otherwise, human beings will be backlashed by dragon fire, leading to the disaster of genocide."

A few lines of big red characters appeared at the end of the email, which was shocking.

Are there really dragons in the world?

——At this moment, Xue Xian could no longer think about this puzzle.

A few hours ago, when he woke up in the broken water speeding boat, the last thing he could remember was the goat milk brought to him by his maid Mier before going to bed.Someone must have stunned him with drugs, stuffed him into a water craft, and sent him to this completely unknown place.

He was kidnapped.

The influx of sea water flooded his nostrils, and Xue Xian was almost suffocated by choking. After he weakly climbed out of the water speeding boat, he found himself in a withered dense forest.

The sea water filled most of the ground in the forest, leaving the intertwined tree roots exposed, as quiet as a dead place.

Xue Xian is always surrounded by a large group of people, maids, believers, or guards.Except for the main city and the temple on the border, he has never been anywhere, and he has never been alone in the wild.

At this time, there were no creatures around, the bracelet had no signal, the water speeding boat was completely broken, and the communication panel was broken into spider webs, Xue Xian couldn't contact anyone.

Maybe he hasn't left the main city very far.

Xue Xian comforted himself.

As long as he walked out of the dense forest, he might find a human residence, and he could go back safely after contacting the people in the temple.

But the dense forest was too big and too deep, and the thick and spacious holy clothes wrapped wetly on Xuexian's body like a heavy shackle. He was cold and tired, and it was very difficult for him to walk. He had to hold on to dead trees to barely move forward.

The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and he didn't go far before stepping into a swamp covered with dead leaves.

It only takes less than ten seconds for a person to be engulfed by the swamp. Xuexian was lucky that he accidentally grabbed a tree root as thick as an arm. It was because of this tree root that he didn't sink completely.

"Help!"

"Help me! I fell into the swamp! Is there anyone!"

The birds in the dense forest were disturbed and flew out of the treetops.

Not long after, there was a deafening howl in the air, echoing above the dense forest, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

Xuexian raised his eyes and saw a huge black shadow spreading its wings and flying across the sky.

It's a dragon!

At that moment, Xue Xian's blood froze, and he was silent for a moment.

Several hours have passed since then.

it's dark.

A female star like a jade plate hangs above the dense forest, and the dark gray sky is dotted with stars.

Xuexian didn't dare to call for help, and drowsily clutched at the roots of the tree, not daring to relax for a moment.Suddenly, at some point, a pair of huge dark green vertical pupils appeared above him.

Those vertical pupils were looking down at him emotionlessly for an unknown how long.The cool-toned silver-blue light cast by the actress illuminated the head of the owner of the vertical pupil, which was covered with dense black scales.

This is an adult black dragon. If it spreads its wings, its wingspan can reach an astonishing 20 meters, and its weight can reach nearly a hundred tons.

How did such a huge creature land so quietly?

Just being watched by the black dragon, Xue Xian couldn't help but hold his breath, hoping that he had already integrated into the swamp, and the black dragon could ignore his food that was not enough to fit between his teeth.

But the black dragon lowered its head and seemed to be very curious about him.

The dragon's breath brushed against his face, and Xuexian smelled a warm, carnivorous animal smell. Immediately afterwards, he was arched by the black dragon's nose, and his body trembled like a chaff sieve, and his stiff hands unconsciously loosened. The tree roots fell, and the body sank into the swamp little by little.

"Gudong-"

The mud covered the eyes and the top of the head, and Xuexian heard the death knell of death.

The temple I ran across when I was young, the garden filled with the scent of roses, and the thousands of people crawling under the altar.

……

Countless fragments of memories flooded my mind at that moment.

Is this the end?

Under the swamp, the darkness completely enveloped Xue Xian. When the last trace of air was squeezed out of his lungs, he felt a sudden tightness all over his body, a sharp pain in his bones and internal organs, and a sharp claw penetrated into the swamp, pulling him out of the mud. out!

"what--"

The body was completely vacated, and Xuexian was horrified to find that he was far away from the ground.

The wind was blowing, and it was the black dragon flapping its wings.

Xue Xian was caught by the dragon's claws and plundered to the sky above the swamp. No matter how hard he struggled and slapped him, it was of no avail. He heard the black dragon excitedly let out a dragon howl that went straight into the sky, as if announcing its new spoils.

Both the swamp and the dense forest grew farther and smaller.

Xuexian nearly fainted in the sky, but the biting cold wind cut him like a knife, and he was so awake that he couldn't wake up again.

He saw lakes on the edge of dense forests, and high and rolling hills.

Amidst the howling wind under the dragon's wings, he saw the bright starry sky and the churning sea of ​​clouds.

Then, he saw the vast black sea and several islands.

It wasn't like any part of the territory he remembered, and he had belatedly realized the fact that he was no longer on the continent that belonged to humans.
