Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 16

The young dragon still can't master the power of breathing fire. When it uses dragon fire, it is often accompanied by anger and anxiety. Every time, it goes all out and blows wildly.

So Xue Xian picked up the branches twice more before successfully lighting the just right fire.

Back and forth, Xue Xian started to sweat, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and ran outside the cave to wash the roe deer meat with snow.

Then, he removed the fur of the roe deer with the sharpened stone on his body, cut a few slits on the meat like the chefs in the main city, and finally skewered the roe deer meat with a long fishbone and put it on the rack. Roast over fire.

It was dark, and for the first time a bonfire was lit in the cave.

In this kind of light, the golden vertical pupils of the young dragon become round, which makes it look cute when it sits beside the fire and rubs its paws restlessly on the ground.

The first piece of meat was roasted a bit burnt. Seeing that the young dragon was in such a hurry, although Xuexian wanted to taste it himself, he still handed it to the dragon first.

The roasted meat is so fragrant, even without salt and other seasonings, even Xuexian can't stop drooling when he smells it.The young dragon only hesitated for a moment, and then used its fangs to snatch the meat away from the fishbone.

It almost didn't chew much, swallowed the meat with a "gudong", and watched Xue Xian put on another piece.

"Ugh..."

The voice of the young dragon answered in the cave, terrible.

is urging.

But Xuexian couldn't help laughing: "Tududuo, you eat so fast, don't you even get a taste of it! We have an idiom that swallows jujubes whole, and it refers to you."

For such a big dragon, let alone the piece of meat is stuffed between the teeth, even roasting the whole spores is not enough for it to eat.

The young dragon ignored Xue Xian, and just stared at the meat on the fire with full attention.

One person and one dragon all quieted down, both eyes were fixed on the meat that started to emit oil, listening to it "sizzle" on the fire.

The fragrance is lingering, and two shadows, one big and one small, are projected on the wall of the cave, which looks quiet.

The firelight also illuminated the furnishings in the cave.

The fruits brought back by the dragon were neatly stacked in the corner, and there were bowls made of coconut shells on the rocks, as well as various kinds of dried meat prepared by Xue Xian.On the ground, dry leaves and coconut leaves are spread, and clothes and boots made of animal skins are hung aside, like a real savage's lair.

When the meat was roasted, Xuexian cut the meat with a sharp stone, divided it into two, and told Long: "Eat this small piece first, and I will roast a larger one, and I will give you all. I can eat this now. La."

The young dragon ate the share Xue Xian gave it, and stared at Xue Xian.

Xuexian laughed, and had no choice but to grill the raw meat first, and then slowly ate his portion.

So delicious.

The taste wasn't very good, but the taste of the cooked food was so delicious that Xue Xian almost swallowed his own tongue.

As he ate, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, which made his eye circles burn.He misses human life so much, misses living on the Continent.

In fact, he thought about asking the young dragon to take it back to the rainforest.

On the one hand, he was still very apprehensive about crossing the snowy region alone, and on the other hand, he knew that the best solution was to go back there and find the old-fashioned water craft.

However, looking at the young dragon that night, he recalled the scene of it breaking off its left wing, being brutally bullied by the vicious dragon, and nailed to the highland in the lake.

The young dragon was very afraid of going back to the rainforest, and also very afraid of leaving the snow mountain.

Xuexian is well aware of this.

This young dragon looks strong, ferocious and majestic, but in fact it is just a young dragon who has not experienced much in the world, probably no different from a child in the human world.

Xue Xian didn't want this young dragon to take risks either.

When he leaves here, the young dragon will start a new life in the snowy region, and it will live a very good life.

After eating all the roasted roe deer meat, the young dragon licked its mouth and paws with great enthusiasm.

"Ugh..."

It makes the sound it wants.

"No, you've eaten them all." Xuexian patted its head and said gently, "I'll make it for you next time."

The bloodstains on the young dragon's chest from being caught by the roe deer were still there, but he didn't care, staring at the fire reluctantly.

Xuexian thought for a while, and said to it: "Tutuduo, shall we keep a souvenir?"

Xiaolong tilted his head, not understanding what Xue Xian meant.

"Look."

Xuexian pulled the fire with a fishbone, and some sparks from the embers of the campfire flew up.

The young dragon looked at the sparks in the sky and wanted to smell them.

It touched one of them with its nose, and shook its head again, blowing hot air.

Xue Xian found a piece of charcoal in his hand, waited for it to cool down a bit, then picked it up and walked towards the cave wall.

Xue Xian has studied painting and is very talented in this area. He is a novice in painting.The charcoal seemed to have life in his hands, and the dark lines outlined the appearance of the young dragon at this time.

While drawing, he looked back to observe that the young dragon folded its wings and sat there obediently, staring at the strange behavior of humans.

finished.

The appearance of a young dragon appeared on the cave wall. Although the lines are simple, they are lifelike.

"Does it look good?" Xuexian asked.

The young dragon let out a low cry, and the sound echoed in the cave.

It crawled over and pushed Xue Xian with its big head.

"Yuka."

Its consciousness says.

Xuexian understood instantly, and said with a smile, "Do you want to draw me again?"

Young dragon: "Woo."

Xuexian picked up the charcoal and drew a small figure next to the young dragon, but the charcoal was almost gone, and it was much more sloppy than the young dragon.

After finishing the painting, he took a few steps back, stood beside the dragon, observed the painting with it for a while, and suddenly remembered that the bracelet can be used to take pictures.

The bracelet has no signal, but it still has power all the time.

Xue Xian turned on the camera and moved a little further, so that both himself and the dragon could appear within the lens range.

The young dragon didn't know what he was doing, but just happened to look back at him.

"We took a group photo."

Xuexian raised his wrist and placed himself, the dragon and the mural in the frame.

Then he showed a standard smile for taking pictures.

"Crack."

The bracelet left this moment.

"Xue Xian and Tu Duduo, come here for a visit." Xue Xian's nose was a little sore.

After finishing these, Xuexian took off his clothes and took a bath in the hot spring, then put on his clothes, and went back to lie down on the bed made of leaves.

The baby dragon was already lying on its stomach by the fire, its eyes closed.

Xuexian looked at it for a while, then turned over and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the young dragon walked out of the cave, stood in the snow outside the cave, raised its head and roared.

Last night's prey tasted very good after being roasted, and it seemed that it really wanted to taste it again, and it seemed that it was going to have a good hunt.

Xue Xian stood in the cave and watched the young dragon leave, the snow wind blown into the cave by the dragon's wings made him shiver a few times.The young dragon circled in the sky, quickly adjusted the angle of its wings along the direction of the wind, and disappeared into the sky.

It's time to leave.

Xuexian didn't waste a lot of time.

He didn't sleep much last night, thought a lot, and planned how to get out of the cave quickly.

Now according to the plan, he first made a package with the leftover underwear, and put as much dried meat and fruit in it as possible-these are his rations for an unknown number of days in the future, and then , he wore the holy robe, put on a crude snow wolf fur cloak, put on pika fur trousers and leather boots, rolled up the bear skin, tied it with the parcel with a belt, and carried it on his back. on the body.

In the end, he picked up the longest remaining fishbone and stuck it around his waist as a sword-like weapon.

It only took ten minutes before and after.

The young dragon went hunting and would not come back for a while, but Xue Xian's heart was pounding, and he was more nervous than ever.

Being called "Yuka" by the dragon consciously all day long, he almost really regarded himself as its father, and felt a little guilty.

Xuexian took a final look at this cave that had lived for a long time.

From the hot spring water, to the bed made of leaves, to rocks, to the ashes of last night's bonfire, and then moved his eyes to the most spacious place where dragons often curled up to sleep.

Xue Xian felt a little sad.

Finally, he looked at the work painted last night on the cave wall.

A stick figure dragon.

A little matchstick.

The dragon is a bad dragon, which made human beings unable to find their way home. They met by chance, and although they didn't develop a deep relationship, they still managed to become friends.

Getting along with baby dragons these days is incredible, all alone, one dragon, living in the same lair like in a fairy tale.

Unfortunately, the story always has an end.

In fact, it’s good to end like this. This experience will become a beautiful dream in life, and it will be worth recalling after many years.

Xuexian took a few steps back and left the cave with his bags on his back.

The snow outside the cave was as deep as ever.

Calculating the time, it will be summer in the mainland in a few days, but this snowy area seems to have no spring, and it will always be a world of ice and snow.

With the experience of going out on the snow in the past two times, Xuexian quickly walked into the woods, broke some branches inside and tied them to prevent slipping under his feet, and found a thicker one by the way, and used it as a crutch to explore the road.

He can't be regarded as light-packed now, and he has too many things on his back. It is all his belongings that he will rely on for his survival in the next period of time, and he can't lose any of them.

Xue Xian walked in the direction the young dragon left when it picked fruit last time, completely opposite to the direction it hunted this time.

He was worried that he was going astray, and every time he walked a certain distance, he would observe the snow peaks in the distance to determine the route.

Passing through the woods where the young dragon overwhelmed him last time, and passing through the gap where he once fell, Xuexian met otters hiding under the ice again. They watched Xuexian quietly with their black peas-like eyes.

Xue Xian was wrapped in the skins of various wild animals. Those otters smelled the danger, and they were no longer curious about Xue Xian like last time, and quickly got into the hole and disappeared.

The weather is not very good.

Theia hid behind the clouds, and the sky looked very cloudy and dark.

Xuexian didn't know how long he had walked, everything became very slow in the desolate snowy area, footsteps, time, and thinking.

When the wind and snow came, he was almost unable to walk, so he had to move his frozen body and find a rock with a strange shape to stop and rest.

This rock was strangely shaped, as if protruding abruptly from the mountain wall. Xuexian sat down under the rock, took a breath, and found that the hat made of rabbit fur could not be removed.

He was clever in advance and made the hat to only expose his eyes to prevent frostbite on his face, but after walking for so long, the heat exhaled by the human body has condensed into ice, sticking his face and rabbit fur together.

In this kind of extremely cold weather, if the eyebrows were not scorched by the dragon fire, they might also freeze.

There are barren snow fields around here.

In the distance, the glaciers that have been around for an unknown number of years rise high, revealing a blue light, like the illusion of the gate of heaven.

It was getting dark, Xue Xian didn't dare to go any further, and was about to take off the bear skin on his back and prepare to spread it on the ground, when the rocks above his head vibrated.

It turned out to be a huge insect!

This kind of insect is a native of Infinity Star and is harmless to humans, but it grows so big that it lies motionless on the mountain wall, making people mistake it for a rock.

Xuexian was quite frightened, the giant insect stretched out its tentacles, and slowly went to catch the snow on the cliff to eat.

This kind of insect probably lived on the Centella asiatica, but it was so grown that it made one's scalp tingle, Xuexian didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he could only continue to move forward by leaning on the branches.

In the snowy area, only some extremely cold-resistant creatures survived. When the wind and snow came, they would return to their nests early and hide.

Under the dark gray sky, Xuexian was the only one walking against the wind in the huge snowy area.

Several times he wanted to give up, thinking that it would be better to go back to the cave, stay by the warm hot spring, and eat some prey that the baby dragons caught.They have learned to bake cooked food, life should be much easier than before.

But there is no turning back when the bow is opened.

Trembling, Xue Xian ate some dried meat in the package, and couldn't move anymore.

He thought of a way, dug a hole in the snow with both hands, made it look like a low fortress, and just got in like that.

Wrapped in a bear's skin, Xuexian huddled in the snow cave, feeling cold and afraid, and hardly daring to fall asleep.But luckily, his first night passed so peacefully.

In the morning, the wind and snow stopped.

Xuexian got out of the snow cave.

He breathed in the icy air, looked at the empty snow field, and the towering snow peaks in the distance.

After successfully taking the first step, the joy of rebirth hit his chest, and he couldn't help but roared into the sky a few times. The sound echoed in the wilderness and in the valley, and it lasted for a long time.

"I succeeded." He packed his things and continued on the road, talking briskly to himself, "It's not as difficult as I imagined. Keep going, come on, Xuexian, we will reach the beach soon."

After walking for a long distance, Xuexian stopped suddenly and looked up at the sky again, the golden light of Theia made him unable to open his eyes a little bit.

Clear skies.

No bird, no shadow of a dragon.

This time the young dragon did not catch up, Xuexian briefly imagined how it would react when it returned to the cave, and then started on the road again.

The author has something to say:

Moulong: What is that?Why are you and I in there?
