Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 17

On the fourth day of walking in the snowy area, Xuexian suffered frostbite on his hands and feet, and the skin on his face began to turn red and cracked.

As he walked, he became more and more confused. Sometimes he saw a snow-capped peak very close, as if it was so close at hand, but he couldn't reach it even after spending a whole day.

When the weather became better, he often encountered wild animals on the way.

Sometimes it's a lone wolf, sometimes it's a mutated fox, but because of the complex beast smell in his fur, those animals actually avoid him one after another.

The most amazing thing is that he also met some groups of snow rabbits.

These snow rabbits like to come and go at night, surrounded by hundreds and thousands, and he doesn't know what they are doing. When he saw it for the first time, he thought it was blurred vision, and mistaken it for snowballs in the snow.

However, in the past few days, Xuexian has learned to identify the stars in the night sky, and he can use the bracelet to take pictures and record the places he has been, so it is not so easy to get lost.

Every night he stops his journey to find a suitable place to spend the night. If he is lucky, he can find a tree hole or a cave. If he is not lucky, he can only dig holes on the spot in the snow.

As time passed, the package on his body became lighter and lighter, and the hardened fruit had been almost consumed, and he could only eat jerky for the next period of time.He roughly estimated that the jerky could last about seven or eight days, and he hoped that by then they would have left the snowy area.

This kind of lonely journey in the wilderness can temper a person's mind.

At the beginning, Xuexian would still talk to himself, saying something to himself.Later, he also became very silent, and only hummed a hymn softly to himself when he was sleeping at night.

He missed the temple, the people there, even a stone in the garden, or a blade of grass.

It's those who keep him going.

One night, Xue Xian had a dream.

"Wulumola..."

He seemed to have heard the call of the young dragon, and the consciousness was long and inadvertently squeezed into his mind, but he refused to leave forcefully.

"...Yuka."

"Yuka."

The young dragon's calls one after another made Xue Xian uncontrollably have an illusion, he felt that the voice came from his own throat.

Moreover, he still felt that he was flying, just like in the last dream.

This time, he flew over the snow field, passing through the thick clouds together with Theia's light, the feeling was so real, after he woke up, he seemed to still be able to feel the whistling wind in his ears.

What happened to the baby dragon?

Is it still in that cave?

Xuexian couldn't help thinking, could that young dragon be looking for him?

But it is a dragon after all, it will grow up, how can it live with a human forever?

As predator and prey, it is a miracle that they can live together for such a long time.

As the distance became longer, Xuexian encountered the first snow peak that he really needed to climb.

Even with a heavy bearskin on their backs, the whirring cold wind can blow people straight back.

The wind blows on the face like countless cold knives.

Xue Xian moved forward desperately, stabbing his body firmly into the snow with a branch, step by step, he climbed up, and stood at the highest point of the pass.

Suddenly bright.

On the other side of Xuefeng is the endless plain. Starting from the foot of Xuefeng, the emerald green tone gradually spreads, and the spring scenery spreads slowly like a scroll until the end of the field of vision.

He actually... really crossed the snowy area! !

That sense of accomplishment made his heart surge in an instant, and he wanted to express his feelings directly, but he saw a towering minaret in the gloom!

Seeing human creations here undoubtedly surprised Xuexian.

He thought, are there any human beings living there?

But soon, he realized that it was a Tower of Babel!

More than 1000 years ago, the ancestors traveled across the interstellar world to the Infinity Star, and sowed the seeds of all creatures on this land.

They spent several years building a total of 120 towers on the entire Infinity Star for positioning and sending messages, which is convenient for contacting each territory and sending messages between each other, and by the way, it is also a preparation for the later immigrants.

Humans originally planned to abandon the earth's national system in Infinity Star, create a common language, and use a unified language.Here, human beings no longer have the distinction of nationality and race, and there are no barriers of language and writing.

Therefore, these tall towers representing the good wishes of the ancestors were named the Tower of Babel.

The tower on the plain is one of 120 towers.

The positioning system on the tower is powered by light energy and has been working for thousands of years.Chaos days ago, many towers were destroyed in the war, but the tower in front of me looks intact, and the positioning system has a great possibility to be used!

Xue Xian's spirit was lifted, and he walked down the snow mountain at a faster speed.

Because he was too excited, he fell in the snow, but he didn't care, and ran to the plain.

If the positioning system on the tower is still working, he can use the wristband to send messages.In this way, he no longer has to take high risks to find the coastline, and he doesn't have to go back to the rainforest where he doesn't know where to go. Here, he can get in touch with the people in the temple!

Once the people inhabiting the mainland receive it, they can send someone to pick him up!

Wangshan ran the dead horse.

The tower seen from the snow peak seems to be close at hand, but in fact, it is exaggeratedly farther than the mountains seen before.

Xuexian didn't dare to slack off on his way. Even so, it took him another two days to successfully enter the plain and reach the vicinity of the tower.

Fortunately, the climate here is already much warmer than that in the snowy area. The gradually warming environment allowed Xuexian to recover from frostbitten hands and feet. Although it started to itch and swell, she walked much more sensitively and lightly than before.

During the break, Xue Xian leaned against a big tree, took off the hat made of pika fur, and threw the bear skin and the package on the ground.

He had eaten all the fruits on his body, his hands and face were extremely dry, and even his lips were cracking. He planned to rest for a while, and then went to see if there was any water source nearby.

too tired.

After Xue Xian finished eating, when he was a little drowsy, he suddenly heard a soft cracking sound from the grass in front of him.

These days' encounters made Xuexian develop a high level of vigilance.

He woke up instantly, and subconsciously grabbed the fishbone stuck in his waist.

That long fishbone has never been used, Xuexian stared at the dense grass half a person's height, thinking, if there is any beast that dares to attack, he will stab it to death!

Unexpectedly, a person came out from behind the bushes. This was the second surprise after discovering the Tower of Babel!

Do not!

and many more!

To be precise, the person who appeared was a severe deformity!

Half of the man's face was completely deformed, the dead black air spread from the body all the way to the eyeballs, his lips were raised, revealing black and sharp teeth.

He was about 30 years old, with scant clothes, his left hand was as dry as a bird's claw, and he was staring at Xuexian dully.

"you……"

This was the first person Xue Xian met in Longyu, but he was well aware of the habits of severely deformed bodies, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, and still held the fishbone tightly in his hand.

"you……"

For a moment, his heart was beating like a beating, and he didn't know what to say.

The deformed body gurgled a few times in its throat, as if talking.

Xuexian didn't know what he was going to express, so he had to stand up, lean against the tree vigilantly, and observe the other party's every move.

It has been too long since I have communicated with anyone, Xue Xian is actually very much looking forward to meeting the same kind, he wants to ask how this person came here, is there anyone else around, and also wants to ask how he is, how is he? , do you need help.

But the deformed body stared at Xue Xian, tilted its head, suddenly let out a strange cry, and attacked him so violently!

Xue Xian bent over to hide, and fled in a hurry.

That person threw himself at Xue Xian again, the excitement and beastliness in his eyes were not what humans possessed at all, it was exactly the same as the little girl with five degrees of distortion on the day of the Holy Ceremony!

"Hey!" Xue Xian pulled out the fishbone and said while stepping back, "Calm down! Do you want to eat? I can share it with you..."

Xuexian threw the jerky on his body not far away, and the deformed body really turned around and went straight to the jerky.

I saw him prostrate on the ground, grabbing the dried meat with both hands and stuffing it into his mouth. He didn't care about the dirt and leaves, like a natural beast, only knowing to gobble it up.

Xuexian has mixed feelings in his mind—the aberrants must be full at all times, otherwise the hunger will drive them to devour all creatures they can see, including humans.

"Ross!" Someone yelled.

Xuexian turned his head to look, and saw another person coming out of the grass, about 30 years old.

The face of the newly appeared person looks like an ordinary person, and his mind is still clear. As soon as he saw Xue Xian, he looked him up and down.

Xuexian held onto the fishbone tightly, not daring to take it lightly.

The person who came spoke first, and his language skills were still there: "My name is Rodo, and that's my brother Rose. Sorry, we just arrived here, so we don't know anyone around here."

The man named Luo Duo speaks concisely and clearly, not a serious abnormality.

However, he looks a bit fierce and doesn't look like a good stubble.

Before Xue Xian could speak, the man named Luo Duo had already walked towards the severely deformed body, grabbed him, and reprimanded him severely: "What are you doing?! Didn't I say not to go far away? You scared people !"

Ross didn't listen at all, maybe he didn't understand, even if he was taught by his brother, he still squatted on the ground and stuffed food into his mouth.

Seeing that he was so hungry, Xue Xian couldn't bear it, so she said: "It's okay, you, you let him eat first."

Luo Duo stood for a few seconds and looked at Xue Xian again.

Seeing that they were all very thin, Xue Xian said, "You can also eat."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to take out some dried meat and handed it over.

Xuexian's package was made of high-quality inner clothing, which was washed very clean by him, and the dried meat was neatly arranged, and there were quite a lot of them.

Rodo let go of Ross, took the dried meat bluntly and ate it, as if he had been hungry for half a month.

The three of them stood in the woods, but Xuexian's ears were filled with the sound of gobbling and chewing, and the atmosphere was strange.

Xue Xian was quite sure that this person named Luo Duo was not a severe mutant. Seeing that they were so hungry, they did not report their family status for the time being.

Wait until they finish eating.

Xue Xian suppressed the excitement in his heart, thinking like this.

After the two brothers finished eating, they might go to the Tower of Babel together and discuss how to wait for rescue.

"Little friend, what degree of distortion are you?" Luo Duo chewed the jerky, then looked at Xue Xian, "I don't think you are serious, why, now they even sent the moderate distortion here ? Really jumping over the wall.”

Xue Xian was taken aback for a moment, unable to understand why the other party treated him as a mutant.

In fact, if he had had a mirror to look at at this moment, he might be fooled by his own appearance.

Xuexian was wearing snow wolf fur and rabbit fur boots. His whole body was tightly wrapped, except for his dirty face that was cracked and cracked by the cold.The eyebrows and eyelashes that had been pulled away by the dragon fire just emerged a little, as if they were born without growth.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm."

Luo Duo looked at the beast furs on his body, and saw that there was still so much dried meat on his body, because he didn't know where he came from, and probably didn't want to mess with him.

"I just heard that the snowy area is cold and there should be no dragons, so I took Ross to this side. Why, do you live near here?"

Dragons don't like cold places, and the colder the place, the safer it is for an aberration.

Xuexian did not see any shadow of dragons along the way.

"Yeah." Xuexian nodded vaguely and asked again, "How long have you been here?"

What Xuexian asked here refers to Longyu.

Luo Duo naturally understood, and said without emotion: "It's been half a month, I didn't count carefully. When I got off the water, the boat was destroyed, and I didn't leave a wristband to record the time. What about you?"

"It's a little longer than yours." Xue Xian said.

Xue Xian felt very sad.

If he still had doubts about the statement of the "Clear Eyes" society before actually seeing the deformed body, then Rodo and Ross confirmed this point-the Habitat Continent is really sending severe deformed bodies here.

Xue Xian asked Luo Duo: "You don't look serious, why..."

After eating the jerky, Luo Duo wiped his mouth casually: "I came here voluntarily." After finishing speaking, he lifted up Luo Si beside him, who was still screaming because he had finished eating the jerky, "In fact, he hasn't come here yet. The fifth degree of distortion, I guess it can be counted as four and a half degrees at most. He is my brother, I can't watch him come here to die."

Xuexian said "ah", suddenly understood what was going on, and asked, "Why don't you go to the people in the temple for help?"

Luo Duo suddenly smiled strangely: "The temple?"

Xue Xian nodded sharply: "Yes, you should go to the temple!"

He can't wait to tell the other party that he is the Son of God right away, as long as the other party is not five-degree distortion, there is still a glimmer of hope.The temple can provide all the help the other party needs. As long as the deformed body is settled first, he can comfort the restless heart and relieve the pain of the deformed body.

"You still believe in the temple." Luo Duo's eyes were full of resentment, "What can the temple do? We have been waiting in line for three months... we have submitted countless applications in the system, and the temple has already filled the quota. Man rejected us."

"The so-called holy son's pure soul is actually a big lie, especially that holy son Xuexian who pretends to be a ghost."

Luo Dosen spit out the last sentence coldly: "If he is not dead, I will kill him with my own hands anyway, and use his blood to pay homage to my brother's soul!"
