Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 26

Xuexian never thought that there would be people here—not referring to the kind of mutants who lose their minds and only care about biting, but human beings who have thoughts and can communicate.However, he didn't have time to think about it right now. Since the other party put down the gun, he immediately went to check on the situation of the dragon.

The dragon lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, his wings spread out, his eyelids half closed, and he was panting heavily.

Xue Xian immediately pulled out the anesthesia needle and threw it aside, stroking its head anxiously: "Tududuo, how do you feel?"

Long didn't answer.

Its huge monster has become clouded in consciousness and has lost the ability to move.

"Don't worry, this is just an ordinary anesthetic needle, which is used to deal with wild beasts. It won't last long for dragons." The old woman said, "We generally don't attack dragons."

Xue Xian looked at her with red eyes, half-believing.

The old woman said more directly: "Killing a dragon is very troublesome. The corpse is too big to be carried out, and the decay of the meat will also affect the surrounding environment. So this is really just an ordinary anesthesia needle. It will be fine in a while."

Xue Xian nodded: "Yeah!"

The black-skinned boy still stood there nervously, staring at the dragon on the ground.

But the old woman took a few steps forward, her bent body moved closer, Xue Xian smelled something similar to some kind of plant smell on her body, upon closer inspection, it turned out that her clothes were covered with green juice, Probably the juice of some kind of plant was used to conceal the smell of humans.

No wonder the dragon didn't notice the approach of humans just now.

"Silver dragon..." the old lady looked at the dragon with her clear brown eyes, "I haven't seen it for many years."

"Have you seen a silver dragon before?" Xue Xian asked.

"Yes, I have." The old woman said thoughtfully, "What did you call him just now? Dududo?"

Xue Xian became vigilant again, not knowing whether to answer or not.

The old lady stood a little further away, and handed the gun on her back to the black-skinned boy, so that Xuexian could relax a bit.The black-skinned boy took the gun, babbled some syllables and made some gestures, sounding like a deaf-mute person.

The old woman patted him, then turned to Xue Xian and said, "Son, I saw that you were holding an electronic notebook just now, and you made a lot of marks along the way, where are you looking for?"

After confirming that the other party was not malicious, Xue Xian replied: "A supply station."

"Supply station?" the old woman asked, "How did you know that there is a supply station here?"

"I found a crashed flying boat." Xuexian told her where she found the flying boat. "I found information about the supply station inside, so I wanted to come and have a look... We didn't know there would be anyone nearby."

The old lady smiled and said, "Then you have found the right place."

After some self-introduction, Xue Xian knew that the old woman's name was Alina, and the black-skinned boy's name was Ainuo. They discovered the supply station before Xue Xian, and they had lived here for several years.

Beasts are often seen around here. Arina and Ainuo came out today to check whether the nearby traps are still effective.

In the direction Xuexian and Long walked, there was a newly laid trap less than [-] meters away. If Ainuo hadn't come out to stop it in time, then they might trigger the trap and get injured.

When it was Xue Xian's turn to introduce himself, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided to hide his name as he introduced to Luo Duo last time, and only said, "My name is Yuka."

"Yuka?" Alina was slightly surprised, and she repeated it, as if she thought the name was a bit strange.

Xuexian is not good at lying, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "This is Tutuduo. It is not Dududuo. It is my friend, not the kind of evil dragon that can eat people."

While speaking, the dragon woke up.

The effect of the anesthetic faded, and it slowly raised its head. Seeing this, Alina protected the black-skinned boy back a few steps, and said a series of vague syllables quickly.

The dragon was originally angry, and was about to burn the two of them to ashes with a fire, but after hearing the syllables she uttered, he slowly retracted his fangs, leaving only a low angry sound in his throat.

Xuexian was extremely surprised, because he was very sure that the language Arina spoke just now was the same language that the dragon passed into his mind!

Xue Xian: "Grandma Alina, can you speak the language of the Dragon Clan?"

Alina said: "A little bit, not proficient."

Xuexian was overjoyed, he had long thought that there must be an interpreter between him and Long, but he did not expect that by chance, he would really have the opportunity to understand what Tududuo was usually talking about.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the supply station first." Alina said, "There are still some supplies you can use there."

The black-skinned boy came forward again, gestured quickly, and seemed a little excited.

Alina called his name again, and looked at him firmly: "Ainuo, nothing will happen."

The supply station is not hidden in the forest in a disguised form as Xue Xian imagined.

On the contrary, it stands there very clearly - it is a gray oval building, the surrounding ground is flat, although many plants have grown over the years, but there are still traces of cement, it should be the former airship Used take-off runway.Next to the building was another dilapidated airship, which seemed to have provided supplies for several airships in the past.

There are some clothes hanging outside the building, some vegetables are planted, and there is a small fence with a few pheasants in cages inside.

When the dragon passed by, its wings scraped down the fence, and its claws accidentally stepped into the cage, crushing a nest of eggs.It didn't care, it leaned its head over to look at the shivering chicken on the ground, glanced around indifferently, then turned to look at Xuexian.

Dragons have absolutely no interest in birds.

And his patience was exhausted, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.

Xuexian could sense its intention from its icy pupils, and stepped forward to reach out his hand.The dragon lowered its head and let Xue Xian touch its jaw, trying to get some comfort from Xue Xian.

The cage was built by Ainuo with great difficulty, and now it is completely destroyed.He dared not speak out, but stared at the dragon's black claws, and squeezed the gun tightly.

He knew very well that his previous success was purely by fluke, but now the dragon can be on high alert all the time.As long as the dragon wants to, a fire can burn all living things into coke, and basically has the ability to razed the entire supply station to the ground.

The dragon is the most powerful creature on the infinite planet and the natural enemy of all things.

Aino is afraid of the dragon, and has never been so close to the dragon.One tail of this beast is longer than his whole body, and the steel-like scales and the dense fangs in the mouth are all showing terrifying fighting power.

Seeing Xuexian's behavior and Long's obedient attitude, Ainuo's face gradually showed surprise. Can someone really approach a dragon like this?

At this time, the dragon seemed to smell the sweat secretion of the human body, felt the nervousness of the human beings, and heard the fearful heartbeat.

It turned its head suddenly, and stared down at Aino with those huge golden eyes.

It also remembers who shot it.

Dragons are very vengeful.

Just one bite... would bite him in two.

Ainuo's whole body began to tremble, but he insisted on not moving.

One person and one dragon are still confronting each other, while Alina has brought Xue Xian to the gate of the supply station and pressed the switch on the wall.The combination lock was blown up and remodeled by them at the beginning, so the current supply station has been completely controlled by them.

Alina said that when they found this place, the supplies here were basically unused, and there were still a lot of fuel and food.

"At the most time, eight people were accepted here." Alina said, "Three came with us, and then a few more came here scattered. The one with the largest number of people and the best situation During a period of time, we developed a large vegetable field and raised wild boars. A young man named Alexander was in charge of managing the distribution. He was very capable, and the consumption of food and supplies was not too fast. Over the past few years, we have been able to achieve self-sufficiency self-sufficient."

Xuexian: "Then... what about the others? Have they all gone out?"

Xuexian guessed that other people might go out to check traps, or hunt something like Alina Aino.

But Alina said: "There is no one else."

Xue Xian was puzzled.

Alina: "The people who will be sent here are all moderate to severe distortions, and the distortions will only become more and more serious. Even if we don't want to, the companions will just disappear one by one. Some people even themselves Gone without leaving a single word."

Xuexian let out a soft "ah".

He is so naive.

Seeing Alina with black air coming out from half of her body in front of him, he understood that as she said, here, the distortion will not be cured, and people are almost just waiting to die together, sooner or later.

Xuexian: "When...were you sent here?"

The wrinkled Alina recalled, and said: "I don't remember clearly. When I came here, I was about the same age as you. At that time, the consul was called Leon, and the holy son of the temple was called Mia. Have you ever heard that Pass?"

Hearing her talking about the Holy Son, Xuexian's heart beat wildly, but he still nodded: "That was 726 years after the Chaos Day, and now it is 770 years."

That is, Alina has been here for at least 50 years.

"It's been so long?" Alina's old voice was weaker, but very peaceful, "Who would have thought that when I came here, I had a four-and-a-half degree distortion, and I have survived for so many decades."

After all, people like her are in the minority.

Xuexian didn't know what to say, he didn't even dare to admit to Alina that he was the current Son of God.

Xue Xian: "What about Ainuo?"

Alina: "Ainuo was born here. His mother didn't know she was pregnant when he was sent to Longyu. Affected by the distortion, Ainuo was born dumb and unable to speak, but his hearing is fine. I He was only ten years old when I met him, and he has been living alone for two years."

The inspection back then was even more sloppy than it is now, and even pregnant women were sent here.

Something was clamoring in Xuexian's heart, which swept away his excitement about coming to the supply station, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

They visited the interior of the supply station, chatting while walking.

There are some small rooms divided here, some of which can be seen to have been lived in, and some of which are not.Xuexian also saw some handmade tables and chairs, blankets and handicrafts, which were left by the people who used to be here.

In one of the rooms, Xuexian saw a painting, the paint might have been collected from nature, and it had faded, but he still recognized it at a glance, it was a painting of tired birds and flowers.

Tired bird flower, a flower unique to the continent, is the same as the tattoo on Xuexian's collarbone.The flowers in the painting are full of colorful flowers and their shapes are vivid. It is obvious that the person who painted this painting misses living in the mainland very much.

These rooms are now empty.

The bustling scene of the past is no longer there, and there is a sense of loneliness everywhere.

In the last room, there were several clear bullet marks on the wall, as well as some traces of nail scratches.

In this room Arina did not introduce anything.

Xue Xian remembered what she said just now, the companions would disappear one by one, and fell into silence.

Alina opened the storage compartment, took out different flavors of meat and canned vegetables for Xuexian to choose from, and said, "You can also give some to that bad-tempered little dragon."

It can be seen that there is not much food in the storage cabin, and Alina is still so generous, Xue Xian said gratefully: "Thank you."

Alina smiled: "You're welcome. Humans should help humans under any circumstances, including human partners."

Xue Xian couldn't help asking: "When... did you discover us?"

"When you were playing. The dragon is a very sensitive animal. We were almost spotted by it several times, but I think its attention is on you." Alina's black eyeball looked terrifying , but the other brown eye is full of gentleness, "This time it was fooled, and it will be difficult for anyone who wants to sneak attack it next time."

The dragon has a big appetite, and Xuexian doesn't know if it likes human food, but judging from its reaction to eating barbecue, he guesses that it has a high probability of liking it.

He restrainedly took two or three cans. Although he still wanted to ask Alina a lot of questions, he always remembered his dragon, so he ran to look for it with the cans and the can opener.

Dragon was no longer confronting Aino.

The black-skinned boy named Ainuo was not there, and he didn't know where he went. Only the silver-white dragon sat alone in front of a building that was about the same height as it.

The dragon's dragon wings were well put away, its tail was coiled quietly in front of its body, its black claws were scratching the ground, and its long and narrow golden pupils were looking towards the sky.

In the afternoon, Theia was gradually falling.

The female star rises from the other half of the sky and hangs in the sky with Theia at the same time. To use an idiom on earth, it is called "the sun and the moon shine together".

A group of birds flew by in the sky, forming dense and regular black spots, which made the dragon narrow his eyes slightly.

Sensing Xue Xian's approach, Long turned his head and rubbed Xue Xian's face affectionately.

"Yuka," Long said.

"Tu Tu Duo!" Xue Xian called out its name, "Look, I have delicious food here!"

Long didn't pay any attention to the cans he was holding in his hand.Xuexian is not very good at using can openers, and he managed to open one after working for a long time. Long just sniffed it and didn't eat it.Xue Xian observed its appearance, and quickly opened the remaining two. Unfortunately, the dragons were not interested.

It seems that this kind of food is far from the cooked meat cooked by Xuexian. Long would rather hunt live animals than taste the products that humans use additives.

It has been a long time since Xuexian has eaten "normal" food that does not need to be peeled or gutted.

He found a spoon, sat next to the dragon, and said while eating: "Tutuduo, just now Grandma Alina said that we can stay here. She said that I haven't seen many dragons around here, it's safe, and There are plenty of rooms here too, and I can get a bed."

"Unfortunately, the communicator here has long been broken, and there is no way to contact the outside world."

"Maybe I can stay here for a while and learn life skills from them. It's like playing a video game... I need to level up. Grandma Alina said Aino is a good shooter, and she has a lot of knowledge about identifying herbs... By the way, she can speak a little of your language."

In fact, in Xue Xian's initial prediction, he originally planned to stay at the supply station for a while, but meeting humans here was beyond his plan.

Long didn't like Aino who shot him with an anesthetic needle, and he didn't seem to like Alina, and he didn't like this dusty human lair.

Therefore, Xue Xian would seek Long's opinion—they were already close friends, the best and most trustworthy friends.

"Would you like to stay here with me for a while?" Xuexian asked, "I'm a quick learner."

"Woo..." the dragon made a low voice.

Xuexian said again: "I don't want to be separated from you."

Breaking away from the slightly rounded form of the young dragon, the dragon seldom shows a naive look, and always appears cold and calm.

After Xuexian finished the long list, he wasn't sure if he understood it, but he felt that the dragon was expressing his objection.

"By Kagram."

Its consciousness is speaking.

This is a relatively clear sentence, and Xue Xian has heard it many times.

But the consciousness that the dragon passed into Xuexian's brain did not stop. Its body structure was doomed to make it unable to utter clear sentences like humans. The two syllables of "Yuka" it uttered last time were already its limit, so It always uses consciousness to communicate with Xue Xian.

"..."

This time, the voice in its consciousness was also very vague.

"What?" Xue Xian asked, "Tududuo, what are you talking about?"

"Goo."

The dragon let out a cry, and knocked Xue Xian to the ground, his eyes fixed on Xue Xian's face.

It reminded Xuexian of the time when they were in the cave, the two of them depended on each other for life.

"...Kumufa."

It repeats, over and over.

Every time it becomes clearer.

"Kokola Rikumufa."

Xue Xian was slightly stunned, he seemed to understand what Long meant.

"You are mine." The dragon whispered to its humans, like an oath of sovereignty, undeniable, "You belong to me."
