Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 21

Xuexian realized that the dragon would also be angry.

This time he left was different from the last time he was in the snowy area, he had been away for too long, no matter how careless the young dragon was, he could figure out that this time he was not going out to "hunt otters and taste different flavors of prey", but want to leave.

There are differences between people and dragons, and there is a language barrier.

Xue Xian didn't know how to make Xiaolong understand that his departure was inevitable.

And after the brief rejoicing of the rest of his life, he didn't have the mood to explain, he could only apologize again and again.

"sorry."

he said to the young dragon.

Try to touch it again.

"I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye, don't be angry."

The young dragon screamed strangely, with a low voice, and it could be heard that it was threatening the humans in front of it not to touch it.

Xue Xian withdrew his hand resentfully, feeling that the dragon was really fierce, but he was guilty after all, and he was too embarrassed to get angry with a young dragon, so he had to give up temporarily.The package thrown down just now was still under the tower, so he had to get it back first.

With the young dragons around, there are no other mutants around the tower, so it's safe for the time being.

After finding the package, Xuexian looked up at the top of the tower, and couldn't help thinking, is what the man named Perseus said true?

Is the temple really gone?

Did they really think they were dead?

Is there really no way for him to go back?

Countless questions alternated in Xuexian's mind.

"Crack."

There was the sound of branches breaking.

Xue Xian looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that young dragon raised its black sharp claws and accidentally stepped on a small tree.It turned out that it had been following behind him, even if it only walked such a short distance, it still had to keep a close eye on its human being.

Xuexian was both happy and sour in his heart, if only the people in the land he loved were like this...

Did the young dragon really come looking for him?How did you find it?

Xue Xian was actually very curious.

He picked up the package and stood up, and took two steps in the direction of the young dragon, wanting to tell it that he had nowhere to go now, that he would not run away again, and that it didn't have to follow him so nervously anymore.

But when the young dragon who was tilting his head slightly saw Xue Xian approaching, he immediately reverted to his old ways and grinned fiercely again.

Xuexian understood immediately - just because it followed him, it didn't mean it had calmed down.

How can this be done?

In the legends and textbooks that Xue Xian had heard, there was never any mention of how to coax a dragon.

The more difficult problem than the young dragon's anger is that Xue Xian has no idea where to go next.No way, after losing his original goal, no wise man descended from the sky to guide him what to do next.

Fortunately, this place is close to the snowfield. As Luo Duo said, there are indeed no other dragons in the vicinity.And with the young dragons around, Xuexian doesn't have to worry too much about the sudden appearance of mutants.

Both he and the dragon are safe now, and it doesn't hurt to spend some time here.

It was still early, and after Xue Xian calmed down, he decided to look for a clean water source first—he was very thirsty and needed to replenish water, and the blood-stained holy clothes on his body also needed to be washed urgently.

No matter what, he had to live.

There are many wetlands near the Tower of Babel, and Xuexian had encountered some animals when he came here before, so he guessed that the water source should not be too far away.He followed the terrain and found the water source after about half an hour.

It was a clear stream.

Affected by the land of evil spirits, the water quality here should not be very clean. To be on the safe side, Xuexian walked upstream for a certain distance before stopping to drink some water in the creek.

The young dragon seemed to be aware of Xue Xian's rare silence, and followed Xue Xian all the time, making a lot of noise.

This made Xue Xian feel at ease.

"Are you really ignoring me?" Xuexian originally wanted to ask, but as soon as the words came out, he realized that he was crying, "Du Duduo."

"Wow."

The young dragon folded its wings and sat not far away, blowing hot air from its nose, and sweeping the ground with its thick and hard tail.

Seeing Xue Xian looking at it, it bared its fangs again.

Xuexian looked back blankly, staring at the stream in a daze, but was taken aback by himself when he saw the reflection in the stream.

He didn't expect that he turned into such an ugly look at all. He just wanted to use the camera of the bracelet to see himself more clearly. When he raised his empty wrist, he remembered that he forgot to operate the bracelet on the top of the tower. between.

On the other hand, the wound on the arm where the mutant bit him was still visible.

The water in the stream was freezing cold, probably from the melting snow in the snow field.

Xuexian was shivering and inhaling while cleaning the wound. The severe pain, cold, and the current situation made him feel sad.

Anxiety, despair, and loss were all intertwined, and he finally couldn't bear it, sobbing on his knees.

Xue Xian felt abandoned.

In the more than 700 years since the Chaos Day, he was probably the first Holy Son who was sent to Longyu, and also the first Holy Son who was abandoned by people.

No one will come to pick him up.

The world is so big that he has nowhere to go.

"What we are broadcasting to you now is the footage taken by Ghost 1."

On the electronic screen, the reporter was excitedly explaining the current situation.

The Holy Son was kidnapped and sent to Longyu, where he died tragically at the mouth of the evil dragon. This was originally the most exciting news that had happened since the Chaos Day, but who would have thought that things would turn upside down after just over a month? develop.

"I don't know why, but the dragon beside the Holy Son turned silver. Maybe he escaped from the mouth of the black dragon, but he encountered another dragon. What is certain is that there is not only one dragon on Longyu Island. Dragons exist, and not only are they not extinct, they probably thrive."

"According to expert analysis, Longyu is now in the courtship period of the dragon clan. According to the living habits of the dragons, they are very likely to use the holy son as a reserve food for the courtship period."

"The good news is that the expected situation that the holy son was eaten by the silver-scale evil dragon did not happen. Now the holy son was coerced to walk to the water source, and the evil dragon followed closely behind."

"We can see that the Holy Son has injuries, and there are a lot of blood on the holy clothes. I don't know if he has fought a fierce battle with the dragon. How is his injury and whether he can find a way to save himself? This is a question that makes all mankind wonder. A heart-wrenching question. But what we can confirm is that the Holy Son is very brave..."

In addition to the believers, a large number of people flocked outside the temple.

They watched the live broadcast of Ghost No. 1 through bracelets, tablets, etc., and kept calling for "save the Son of God" and "kill the evil dragon" outside the temple.

There was a lot of voices, and the entire main city was in chaos. It is believed that such a situation has spread throughout the entire habitat continent.Someone sent information, and even the Ancheng government, which lives in the south of the mainland, was attacked by believers.

The problem of severe distortions being sent to Longyu for inhumane destruction has not yet been resolved, and there are voices of resistance everywhere. There was also news that moderate distortions took collective action to destroy the hospital's inhibitor warehouse last week.

The fact that the Holy Son is still alive and may be eaten by the dragon at any time intensifies the conflict between the government and believers, which can be said to add fuel to the fire.

The main city guard dispatched a large number of police forces, and the flying boat hovered over the city, and the bright light shone on the crowd below.

"All residents please return home immediately!"

"Otherwise we will use strong means to drive away!"

Instead of retreating, people marched forward.

The situation became a mess.

Colonel Hudis was incapacitated. He answered several calls within 10 minutes. The last one was from the Chief Executive of the Inhabited Continent, which made him feel the seriousness of the matter again, so he couldn't help but stand up straight: "Sir!"

It was not the Consul himself on the other end of the phone, but Professor Fay Coulson, who had long since retired.

Faye Coleson was born into a medical family, and her family invented the first inhibitor that inhabited the mainland.Of course, she herself is knowledgeable and has a high reputation. She once held several positions in the Capital College, and also served as a special advisor to the Executive Office after retirement.

"Colonel Woodis, good evening. Please put Dr. Byard on the line."

Professor Fay Colson is over 80 years old, and tonight is also a sleepless night for her.

Her voice was old and trembling: "I have some information that I need to analyze with him."

Dr. Bai has recently been mentally unstable and does not wear a bracelet.

He had been in Professor Faye Coulson's class and was her student.Hearing the teacher's call, he looked away from Xuexian on the screen: "Teacher, I'm Bai Yade. Have you watched the live broadcast, now Xuexian—"

"Look." Fay Coulson interrupted him, "I'm calling now because I have urgent information to discuss with you. Can I go to a quiet place?"

Dr. Bai held Colonel Hudis's bracelet, saw the other party nodded to him understandingly, and strode out to another empty room.

After the environment became quiet, Professor Fay Coulson said straight to the point: "Dear Bai Yade, I believe you have also seen that a silver dragon appeared in the live broadcast."

"Yes, teacher." Dr. Bai said, "I'm thinking about the cause of its alienation. Is it the lack of melanin, similar to human albinism, or the problem of hybridization of different color lines of the same family and reproduction lineage. This is the first time we have seen A silver-white dragon."

Dr. Bai spoke quickly and anxiously.

After all, he was more worried about the safety of the Son than the alienated silver dragon.

"Maybe it's not the first time." Fei Coulson said, and asked again, "Have you ever heard of the sub-demon species among dragons?"

Dr. Bai: "Sub-demon species?"

"Yes." Faye Coulson said, "My great-great-great-grandfather, the famous Stu Coulson who died on Chaos Day..."

"I know that Mr. Stu Colson is a great biologist and writer." Dr. Bai said, "I have read his works."

"That's right, it's him." Faye Coulson responded and continued, "I read a book of his notes when I was very young, and I have a deep memory of one of the descriptions about dragons."

She spoke out loud.

"It is written in the notes that the sub-demon species among dragons, also known as mutants, is different from all other dragons. It has silver-white scales, golden eyes, and is far larger than other dragons. The sub-demon species It is a multi-life form creature, a life form with high intelligence, the number is extremely rare, and no one knows how it appeared."

Dr. Bai frowned and listened carefully.

"Boldly guess in the notes, the sub-demon species is very likely to be a kind of fusion."

When Fei Coulson said this, his tone was a bit inconceivable.

"We know that the distortion of human beings on the infinite star is also an unsolved fusion to some extent."

"You mean, this... sub-demon is a fusion of dragons and other life forms?" Dr. Bai said, "How is this possible? If it is true, why is there no record?"

Faye Coulson said: "I don't know either. For a long time, I thought it was just a vision of Stu Coulson. You know, he is still a famous writer. To this day -"

Dr. Bai continued for her: "Until today, you saw the silver dragon with your own eyes. You think that the one with Xuexian may be the sub-demon species in the notes."

"Yes. This possibility is extremely high. If it is true, perhaps by accident, what His Royal Highness the Son of God encountered was the legendary sub-demon species." Faye Kerson said from the perspective of a scientist, "Very valuable for research."

"The notes were donated to the temple along with other cultural relics 40 years ago. If you can still find the records, then we can ask the military and the Academy of Sciences to find a way to cross Storm Harbor."

This news didn't make Xue Xian's current situation any safer, but if they could really apply to cross Storm Harbor with the military, then as long as Xue Xian was still alive, there would be a glimmer of hope.

Dr. Bai was worried, and he chatted with Fei Coulson for a few more words. Before he was about to return to the room, he suddenly remembered something.

"teacher."

"what happened?"

"You said that the sub-demon is a creature with multiple life forms." Dr. Bai asked, "Then besides the dragon form, it also has—"

"Human form." Fei Coulson said, "I have seen the anatomical diagrams of the sub-demons in my notes, and I am sure that their other life form looks not as big as us humans... difference."
