Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 28

The dragon spread its wings and flew to the top of the supply station first.It hovered over the dusty building, staring at the little human under the shed with bright golden eyes, as if confirming his condition, and then let out a long roar, the vibrating huge dragon wings took off, and quickly disappeared in the skyrim.

The roar of the dragon was deafening. Long after it left, its voice seemed to still be echoing in the depths of the forest.

In the simple stove made of stones, the fire was almost extinguished by the wind.

Alina retracted her gaze from the sky, skillfully adjusted the intensity of the fire with the fire stick.

Xuexian also returned to the topic just now: "Because Tudu often called me that, I used it as my name. Is it really strange?"

Alina was quite surprised: "It called you 'Yuka'?"

"Yuka", these two syllables are actually very strange, the second sound is with a tongue, it is difficult for humans to pronounce this syllable.Xuexian didn't speak well either, but he deliberately simplified it when he used it as a pseudonym.On the inhabiting continent, there are people of all nationalities and customs, so Xuexian thinks it won't be strange to call them anything.

When Alina repeated "Yuka", her tongue-tapping sound was slightly heavier than that of Xuexian.

Alina asked: "Have you ever learned the Common Language?"

Xuexian shook his head: "No. We no longer use the common language."

The popularity of the common language is not high, and it was completely abandoned decades ago. People living in the mainland still communicate with the original main language family.After the appearance of the super-intelligent automatic translator on the wristband, the common language is no longer necessary.

Having been out of touch with human society for decades, Alina was slightly startled when she heard the news, she was completely out of touch with the world.

But soon, she adjusted and told Xuexian: "I learned some common language when I was young, and it was a compulsory course at that time. The 'yuka' in the common language..." She used Xuexian's Simplified pronunciation, "It means the shell of molluscs, referring to shells, snails, etc."

Xue Xian: "..."

This is equivalent to saying "Hi, my name is Shell" when he introduces others.

"And in the dragon's language, 'Yuka'..." Alina used a pronunciation closer to the dragon this time, and asked, "Are you sure that's what your little dragon calls you?"

Xuexian nodded, and became even more curious: "Do you mean friends?"

Alina said: "No, it means 'treasure from heaven', a treasure that can't be met. Dragons are very dedicated creatures, and they only call their partners that way."

Xuexian: "Partner?!"

He was a little dazed.

"During the period of healing, I shared a cave with them for a long time, and I often heard the old man say this word. The silver dragon missed its 'Yuka', and the cave we lived in used to belong to it and its spouse. The lair, its dragon wings are disabled, and it has never left for more than ten years in order to wait for the missing female dragon, so I am sure of the meaning of this word. If your little dragon calls you by this—"

Granny Arina smiled and poured the cut rhizomes into the boiling pot.

"It's an interesting thing!"

Xuexian stood with his mouth open for a while, feeling unbelievable and speechless at the same time.

How could Tu Tuduo use this to refer to a human being?

and many more……

Xue Xian recalled the scene when they first met.

At that time, it was the courtship period of the dragon clan. They had just arrived in the snowy area, and the young dragon had made obvious mating movements in the snow, and kept licking him. He was the one who pushed the dragon's head into the snow Cool down, let the dragon calm down.In addition, one night a few days ago, when he had a fever and was unconscious, the dragon also circled around him and had a courtship behavior.

If the first time was because he ate that strange fruit for the dragon, then the second time he had a fever... Both things have the same feature-a rise in body temperature.The first time it was the dragon's body temperature rising, and the second time it was itself. Did it think that the rising body temperature was related to courtship?

Thinking about it carefully, the dragon seems to have started calling him "Yuka" as soon as he took him back to the hot spring cave.

Xue Xian covered his face.

That's a really small, stupid dragon.

"It's too small, it seems like it doesn't understand a lot of things, there must be something wrong." Xuexian had an oolong, with complicated emotions, "When it comes back, I must have a talk with it!"

Arina agrees: "It's very dependent on you, dragons generally have a hard time trusting humans."

Xue Xian said: "Well...we have experienced a lot together."

When the topic came to an end, Xue Xian took the initiative to introduce herself: "Grandma Arina, my real name is actually Xue Xian."

Alina looked at this docile and well-behaved child, and said kindly as if meeting for the first time: "Hello, Xuexian."

When the soup was ready, Arina divided the soup into bowls.Fearing that Xuexian would not be used to it, he specially prepared some homemade pickles for him.

Ainuo, who disappeared for a while, reappeared, carrying a large bucket full of water, and it turned out that he went to fetch water nearby.Alina said that they originally planned to bring a waterway here. At that time, there were many people at the supply station, and it took several months to provide a stable and clean water source here.But Alexander stopped this plan, saying that the water would also bring some wild animals, which would increase their danger.

"That Mr. Alexander is a very powerful person." Xuexian said sincerely.

"He used to be a professor with profound knowledge and kindness." Alina said, "If he hadn't been sent here, he would definitely have done more."

Xuexian immediately thought of his teacher, Dr. Bai, and felt sad in his heart.

Arina said more about Alexander: "Before meeting us, Alexander once formed a small team with other people and wanted to build a base. It was the ruins of the ancestors, with intact bunkers, very It's safe. Besides, the legendary Mitheus is parked there."

"Misius?!" Xue Xian's eyes lit up, "The first spaceship that came to Infinity Star back then?"

The Mitheus is huge, containing tens of thousands of biological cryogenic chambers, through which the ancestors came to Infinity Star.

"Yes." Alina said, "Alexander said, it's like a silent city. It's empty inside, and there's nothing there. They only stayed in the bunker for six months, and that's when he was in Dragon Isle. furthest place I have ever traveled.”

"Then why are they leaving?"

"Because there is no food."

"No food?"

"Yes." Alina explained, "When the Mitheus landed, there was a problem of energy leakage. There was no grass in the vicinity, and it was deserted. It has become a desert in the past thousand years. For water and food, they often leave for several weeks. .”

Xuexian was a little disappointed. In fact, if he had the chance, he would also like to go to the Mitheus to take a look.

After breakfast, Ainuo brought a bow and arrow and invited Xuexian to try it out. He gestured that he could give Xuexian one.Xuexian was embarrassed to accept his kindness, but still used Ainuo's bow and arrow to brush up his archery skills in the woods.

This kind of bow is much heavier than the bow in the training ground, and the string is made of a kind of mutated cow tendon, which is relatively tight.Xuexian's accuracy was not good at the beginning, but he got better after getting used to it gradually, but his body was weak, and he soon broke out in sweat.

Ainuo suddenly babbled twice, and pointed at Xuexian curiously.

It turned out that the tattoos on Xue Xian's body shimmered when they got hot.

Ainuo didn't know everything about the Holy Son, nor the totem of the Holy Son. Xue Xian pulled up his sleeves to let him see the tattoo on his arm.

"When they stabbed these patterns, they added a special substance to the potion." He told Ainuo, "When the temperature of my body surface rises, the patterns will glow. In ancient legends, this represents the gods. Blessing. But in fact, few people know that this totem contains the coordinates of the earth in the universe."

Aino's eyes slowly widened, looking very surprised.

Knowing that Ainuo grew up in Longyu, Xuexian patiently explained: "Do you know the earth? Our home planet?"

Ainuo looked up at Xuexian, panic flickered in his black and white eyes, he suddenly took a few steps back, left Xuexian and ran to the supply station.

Probably to him, Xue Xian is an outlier.

Xue Xian did not catch up.

Because he knew very well that the wise mother-in-law Alina might have already seen everything.

Xuexian practiced shooting for a while, and he didn't go back to the supply station until the dragon flew over the forest and cast a shadow on the ground.

Long caught a two or three meter brown bear.

It is still a small dragon, this is the first time Xuexian has seen it catch such a big prey.Obviously, hunting this large prey made it go through a lot of hard fighting. On its chest, several pieces of silver scales were turned up, leaving scars.

The brown bear weighing six to seven hundred kilograms was thrown to the ground by the dragon, and the sound attracted Ainuo and Alina to watch.

The part above the brown bear's neck was bitten to pieces by the dragon's teeth, and the ground was covered with blood. It was unclear which belonged to the bear and which belonged to the dragon.

Dragons are very territorial.

Even if this is not its territory, it cannot stop its desire to possess its prey.

Although the two humans who were too much for it were only standing behind the window of the supply station, it was still full of scales, and there was an uninterrupted threatening low growl from its throat, and a pair of huge golden pupils were staring at the window. direction.

Ainuo's breathing was disordered, and his clothes were shaking slightly.

Arina grabbed his arm and signaled to him that it would be best not to move at this moment, their savior had returned.

Xue Xian came running with a bow and arrow on his back: "Tu Tu Duo!"

Ainuo saw that the dragon who was full of anger just now retracted his fangs, turned his head around, and then tilted: "Gu?"

The huge monster actually made a sound that they had never heard before.

"What a big bear!" Xuexian exclaimed, and pulled out a rabbit from behind, "Look, I also shot the prey just now!"

Long sniffed the gray-haired rabbit, but wasn't interested.

It stretched out its sharp claws and pushed the bear carcass on the ground forward.Pushing it once was not enough, he pushed it a second time and a third time, as if he wanted to dedicate all the prey he had worked so hard to catch to Xuexian, without reservation.

Xue Xian had no choice but to put down the rabbit, and squatted on the ground to study the bloody bear.

Maybe he'll have to skin the bear with a saber first, this one isn't as complete as the one in the snowy area last time, but the fur is much better.Grandma Arina is getting old, he can make her a bear fur coat.

The dragon likes to eat barbecue, so he has to quickly light a fire to roast a large piece of meat for the dragon to fill his stomach, and only need to save a small piece of meat, which is enough for the three humans to eat.

Just thinking about it, Long suddenly touched the top of his head with his kiss.

Immediately afterwards, its consciousness was also introduced into Xue Xian's mind.

"Yuka."

The silver-white little dragon is bending its neck and lowering its head, looking at its human beings without blinking.

Its beautiful scales are smoothed out, and the bony spurs are lined up in rows. The wings covered with soft armor and film are neatly folded, and the sitting posture is cute, as if waiting for a compliment.

"Well, that." Xuexian thought of something important and stroked its jaw. "We have to talk about this title, Tu Tuduo."

Dragons who only want to feed humans don't have much patience.

It touched Xuexian's face again with its kiss, and accidentally left a bright red bloodstain on his fair cheek.

Like a light kiss.
