Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 29

"By Kagram."

—A treasure bestowed upon me by God.

Or, my baby, my partner, my spouse.

Xuexian had never understood the meaning of the dragon so exactly, he wanted to laugh a little, seeing the tall and tall dragon obediently sitting in front of him, obviously so majestic and strong, but still lowering his eyebrows and listening, he felt very cute.

This is really a bit foul.

"No, not 'Yuka'." He told Xiaolong, "I'm a human being, your friend, you can't call me 'Yuka.'"

Long was still staring at Xue Xian's face, no emotion could be seen in his icy giant pupils, but his posture was still docile.

"Yuka."

"It's a friend, you should call me Xue Xian."

"Yuka." The dragon bared his teeth, and then came to hug him again, "Yukagram."

Xue Xian showed his dimples, and smiled helplessly: "Idiot. Humans can't be a dragon's 'Yuka'. You can't call me that, it's wrong."

Long roared "Woooo", Xue Xian's words seemed to make him puzzled and uneasy.

In order to appease it, Xue Xian immediately thought of a way. He picked up the arrow beside him, and drew a stick figure on the ground like last time in the cave: "Look, this is me."

The dragon stopped circling and looked at the ground.

Xuexian drew a stick figure dragon next to the stick figure, which was much bigger than a human, and it took him a lot of effort.

"Look, this is you."

The size and species of the dragon and the stickman are in stark contrast.

Dragon blinked.

Seeing it was watching, Xuexian drew a smaller dragon with fewer bone spurs next to the stick figure dragon, and pointed, "This is a female dragon."

I don't know if the dragon understands it, Xuexian drew a hook between the dragon and the dragon, and a cross between the dragon and the human.

"A dragon can call another dragon 'Yuka'." He spoke slowly and clearly as if teaching a child, "but you can't call someone 'Yuka'."

Seeing that Long was looking at the picture intently, Xuexian thought of another idea, continued to add a villain next to the stickman with an arrow, and put a tick on it: "Look, this is the 'Yuka' of people. We are very happy Like each other, trust each other, but we are not each other's 'yuka', do you understand? Tuk Tuk Duo?"

Long sat down and tilted his head to look at the picture on the ground.

Xue Xian was very relieved, but before he could say anything, he saw it back away anxiously, with a "woo woo" cry from its throat, scratching scratches on the ground with its black claws.

With such a big dragon, it was dusty when it moved, and its tail flicked along with it. With a bang, it knocked down a row of wooden frames that Alina was standing by the wall.

The dragon circled around Xue Xian for a full circle, and when he approached again, he still stubbornly sent his consciousness into Xue Xian's brain.

"By Kagram."

Xue Xian covered his face.

It seems that what happened for a while can't be changed, he has to teach it slowly.

Now he needs to take care of the dragon's hunting injuries and tidy up the huge lump of brown bear meat on the ground.

Xue Xian and Long won't stay at the supply station for a long time, so Long, Ainuo and Alina don't have to get along well, and Ainuo doesn't intend to get close to this dragon at all.Alina wanted to relax a bit, she brought Xuexian a towel and herbs to stop the bleeding, and instructed Xuexian to deal with the wound.

The dragon's scales are solid, even on the chest and abdomen.

The brown bear left scratches on the scales, lifted three pieces of scales, and left a few shallow cuts on the dragon's flesh, with blood continuously gushing from the wounds.

When Xuexian wiped it, Long didn't seem to feel any pain, but a muscle spasm like he was afraid of ticklish.

When Xue Xian paste a ball of herbal medicine on it, it showed more resistance. It tried to scratch the herbal medicine away with its paws several times, but it gave up after being lightly scolded by Xue Xian.

Worried about its unrest, Xuexian went to ask Alina how to communicate with it.

It's a pity that Alina is so old, apart from the friendly syllables "I have no malice/I am willing to surrender to you" taught by the old man, as well as the impressive "Yuka" and the "eat" and "eat" that the old man often said to dragons, No" and other phrases, I have almost forgotten them.

"I've tried to use their language with other dragons, and it only worked once." Arina said, "That time, Aino and I hiked through the sand dunes, and there we met a green dragon. I thought we would die, but It actually let us go after I said no harm was done."

Dragons have different IQs, and the degree to which they can communicate naturally also varies.

"Take your time, child, and you will understand its language."

Alina said.

"You connect with it."

In the evening, the wind picked up.

Xuexian peeled off the bear skin with a military knife, lightly baked it, and hung it by the wall to dry.The wind was very small at first, but it suddenly became stronger after about half an hour, making strange noises continuously in the forest, coming from all directions as if a huge stereo was playing.

Arina said it was the wind from Stormhaven.

Although this forest is far away from Storm Harbor, it is in the same continuous landform. During these months of each year, affected by tidal changes, the wind there will rush inland.

Xuexian has studied the geography of infinite stars.

Bounded by the Black Sea, Infinity Star is divided into two unequal parts.Half of it is the most complete continent that occupies nearly 70% of the total land area. It is called the Habitat Continent. Generally, it is a dragon island composed of several small islands and a small continent.

There are unfathomable trenches in the Black Sea, and the magnetic field is abnormal. It is difficult for airplanes and submarines to pass through. Only a small area of ​​​​the sea can pass through.The great battle before the Chaos Day caused a "funnel" to appear under that sea area, the sea water was sucked back, and the sea surface was constantly stormed, completely destroying the only way of passage. Later, people called it the Storm Harbor.

Beside the bonfire, Alina was still wearing thick clothes: "There will be another group of people coming tonight."

Xue Xian was puzzled.

Alina said: "Every year they only send out the watercraft during this season. The direction of the storm in the port has changed, and the water potential has also been affected by fluctuations. It will be easier for the watercraft to reach Dragon Islet. Wait until next month, and there will be no more people." Come."

It was only then that Xuexian knew that the habitat didn't send out water speeding boats every day.They even calculated the probability and chose the most "safe" season.

The wind was blowing strangely outside.

Long couldn't enter the house to take shelter from the wind, so he curled up under the small shed where they usually cook, half-closed their eyes.

It just ate the bear meat grilled by Xue Xian, and its stomach was full, and this wind seemed nothing to it.

Alina noticed Xue Xian looking outside, and said: "In a few days, Ainuo and I will leave here and walk to the coastline, looking for some necessities and seeing if there are any survivors."

Xuexian asked: "Do you often go looking for survivors?"

Alina said "yes" and added: "But not every time."

"It's very dangerous outside, there are many severe distortions." Xue Xian said, "There are also many dragons near the coastline."

"Dragon is not scary."

Alina said.

"Their courtship period is almost over. Once the courtship period is over, we will be much safer. Dragons are actually not interested in humans."

Xuexian thought of the black dragon who captured him, and the other party seemed to be very interested in him...

What's up with these dragons?Do you not distinguish between objects during the courtship period?

Could it be that Tududuo, like the black dragon, was blinded during courtship?

As if seeing his doubts, Alina smiled and said: "Your little dragon is not an ordinary dragon." Then continued the topic just now, "We will leave for a while, and hope to bring some new people back. But the hope is relatively slim, and they often find it, and halfway they suddenly get sick and leave."

Xue Xian knew what Grandma Arina meant by "go".

Just like Rodo once told him, and like the "land of evil spirits" he encountered on the way.

Those who survived would burn the aberrants, lest they harm more people.

"So we just went out for a trip, met some people, received some news from the outside world, and then... deal with them." Alina looked at Xuexian, "It seems... the situation seems to be getting worse."

After getting along for two days, Xuexian is obviously not a severe deformity.

He didn't show any symptoms of aberration, not even a mild aberration.

Not to mention his tattered holy clothes and tattoos.

Alina asked: "Does the temple still accept mutants?"

Xue Xian's heart skipped a beat: "En."

Alina: "You still sing the hymns, too?"

Xue Xian's face became hot: "Yes."

Alina fell into a long silence, and said after a long time: "The last time I saw the Son of God was on a cold night. The electric track from Anseong to the main city broke down halfway, and the 12th car , full of sick people waiting to go to the temple. We were not allowed to get off the bus, the local residents were very afraid of us, and the electric rail was unable to clear the fault. At that time, some people were already very serious. Once they stepped into the fifth-degree distortion , everyone in the carriage may suffer.”

"Saint Zixia braved the wind and snow to persuade the temple and the guards to come from the main city on a flying boat."

"Someone was spitting on him and throwing rubbish."

"The Holy Son didn't say anything. He just stood outside the carriage and sang us a soul-cleaning song all night. His holy attire was very long, as white as snow, like an invincible weary bird flower."

Xuexian listened quietly, he knew about it, and had heard Dr. Bai mention it.

"Is Holy Son Shea okay now?" Alina asked.

"He retired at the age of 22." Xuexian said, "I think he should be fine."

"22? So early?"

"Yes. We... all have only ten years in office."

After a while.

Alina said vaguely, "You should fly farther away."

Xuexian asked: "What did you say?"

Alina's ferocious half of her black body was hidden in the light, as if after a long time of thinking, she said again: "You, and your little dragon. You are free, and you should go to a farther place."

Then, the wind became louder and louder, and even the conversation could not be heard clearly.

Alina was already in her twilight years, and soon she was so sleepy that she squinted her eyes.The wind blowing in from the gap made the bonfire shake, Xue Xian was patted, but when he turned his head, it was Ainuo.

"follow me."

The black-skinned boy held an oil lamp and made such a gesture at him.

Xue Xian was taken aback and asked him, "Where are you going?"

Ainuo looked a little excited, and gestured, as if there was something he wanted Xuexian to see.

Xuexian followed Ainuo away from the bonfire, turned around and came to a small room that was separated.Xuexian had visited it before and knew that it used to be Alexander's room.

Ainuo put the oil lamp on the table, and the dim light illuminated a piece of cloth spread out on the table, with complicated patterns drawn on it.

Xue Xian walked over and took a look, only to feel familiar, and soon remembered that the pattern in front of him was exactly the same as the tattoo on his body.

Xuexian carefully identified it, and recognized that it was drawn with a space brush: "Ainuo, who drew this?"

Aino said "ahhh" and pointed to the room.

Xuexian understood immediately: "Is it Alexander?"

Aino nodded heavily.

Xuexian picked up the cloth, it was difficult to describe his current feelings.

No wonder Ainuo reacted so much when he saw the tattoo on his body, it turned out to be like this.

These totems are part of the temple ceremony and have a very sacred meaning. They were jointly created and drawn by representatives of the four ancient civilizations after the establishment of the temple. Where did Alexander see it and draw it?

Ainuo seemed to see Xuexian's doubts. He rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a while, found a space pen, and wrote a few words crookedly on the table: Misius.

Xuexian: "You mean, there is such a totem on Mitheus?"

Aino let out a "hmm" and nodded again.

Xue Xian was surprised and puzzled.

The temple was established after the chaos, and this totem was also created at that time. Why did the Mitheus, which carried the ancestors to the infinite star more than 1000 years ago, also have it?

The wind blew all night until the next morning.

A layer of fine sand was spread on the forest, the supply station, and the small sheds built.

Because of the heavy wind and sand, Xuexian didn't sleep with Long anymore, which actually caused him to not sleep well.When he woke up, Long was already guarding outside. Seeing Xue Xian, he shook his body and shook off the sand covering the scales.

Xue Xian took a step forward and hugged the dragon's neck.

"Woo." Long said.

Maybe they really have a connection.

Xuexian had a nightmare last night, dreaming that countless severely deformed bodies came out of the dark sea water and climbed onto the shore.Those who were tortured all had hideous expressions, mouths wide open, and silently screamed in pain.

In that endless nightmare, Xue Xian could clearly feel that the dragon was outside.Guarding the dusty supply station in the wind and sand, guarding the human beings separated by a wall.

It seems that it really regards him as its own "Yuka".

"Maybe we should go, Tutuduo." Xue Xian said.

Long understood, flapped his wings lightly, and pressed his neck heavily on Xue Xian.

Xuexian stroked the dragon's scales, leaning his face against it.

"Good dragon."
