Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 43

Xuexian didn't want to leave too far.

After drifting with the current for a while, he decided to go to a small island next door, which was not far away, and he could go ashore only by rowing the raft for half an hour.He had been to that island with Isar before, and there was a wood on the island where he could stay for a while.

Xuexian was in pain all over his body, as if he had been beaten, and he rowed a little slowly.

Theia was hot, and it didn't take long for him to feel a little dizzy, so that when he was about to land, he vaguely saw a figure passing by in the woods.

But when he blocked the harsh light with his hand and wanted to see more clearly, there was no one there again.

Xue Xian carefully hid the raft behind a large rock to avoid being washed away by the waves, then put on his backpack and walked into the woods with weak legs.It was hot between the legs, and some scenes from last night flashed back, Xue Xian has not cried so many times for growing so big, and he has not even been sent to Longyu.

His body seemed broken.

Xue Xian felt hot behind her ears, subconsciously bit her lips, forcefully forced back the tears that came up.

He found a shady place to sit down and began to daze.

It has been a long time since he arrived at the Tower of Babel alone last time. As big as Dragon Islet, infinite stars, and the universe, he is just an inconspicuous speck of dust.Human beings will have different meanings for needing and being needed, but going round and round seemed to make no difference to him either.

The sea is endless. From this position, you can see the small island you came from, but you can't see the mainland.

Xuexian stood up after sitting for a while, trying in vain to walk around the island.

Then he found some human footprints in the sand.

Those footprints were big and small, obviously not his alone, and, although they were messy, they went all the way into the woods.

Will it be an aberration?

This was a thought that flashed through Xuexian's mind, but soon he thought of another possibility... Could it be that Isar's group has returned?

The wind blew up Xuexian's clothes, making them bulge.

The quiet island suddenly became mysterious.

Xuexian put away all his emotions and carefully identified those footprints - if Isar's group was similar to him after taking human form, then their feet should be the same as Isar's, big and bony, and tend to be in the form of dragon claws.

These footprints are relatively regular, with arched soles and five round toes...

Xue Xian suddenly raised his head and looked into the woods.

It seemed that the figure he saw just now was not a hallucination.

Xuexian hesitated for only two or three seconds before taking out the saber from his backpack. He touched the crystal pendant Ainuo gave him, the lucky charm that meant peace, and quietly approached the woods along the footprints.

"Wow-wow-"

The waves beat against the rocks on the beach, Xuexian's heart beat a little faster.

These days, he also learned some ways to get close to his prey, and quickly adjusted his breathing, thinking about how he could counterattack quickly if a severe deformity attacked suddenly.

After walking into the woods, those footprints disappeared in a piece of grass half a person's height.

A few seconds, ten seconds.

Xue Xian was convinced that there was someone behind the grass, he could vaguely feel the existence of the other party, and he was sure that it must not be a distortion body: "Who is there?"

The grass rustled.

After being almost attacked by Ross near the Tower of Babel last time, Xuexian decided to strike first, and without letting go of his clenched saber, he said seriously, "Come out!"

A pair of dirty hands parted the grass, revealing an equally dirty face, blue eyes, blond hair, a little boy.Xue Xian was taken aback for a moment, but found that there was another child behind the little boy, a little girl with brown red hair and freckles.

Two human children, one big and one small, no more than ten years old by visual estimation, looked at Xuexian timidly there.

Xue Xian opened his eyes wide subconsciously, and slowly lowered his saber: "...you, you are..."

The little girl hid behind the little boy's thin shoulders, revealing a piece of black skin under the neck, which was a moderately deformed body.

The little boy was a little more courageous, but he asked, "Are you the Son of God?"

In Longyu, Xue Xian had never met someone who could identify him at a glance. The other party was such a small child who appeared out of nowhere, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Are you the Son of God?"

The little boy asked again loudly.

Seeing that Xuexian didn't answer, the little boy plucked up his courage and said, "Daisy said that the Holy Son can expel evil spirits and help people find their souls. If you are the Holy Son, can you help us?"

Xue Xian noticed that there was a dilapidated telescope hanging around the little boy's neck, apparently the other party had been observing him secretly for a while.

He nodded and heard himself ask, "...Daisy?"

The little girl with freckles hiding behind showed one eye to look at Xuexian, and raised her hand.

The little boy pulled the little girl to stand up. Neither of them was as high as Xuexian's shoulders. The little boy was very independent: "She is Daisy, and my name is Roger."

Xue Xian nodded again, looked around, still a little confused if he was dreaming.

Roger said childishly: "There are only two of us here, no one else is here. We are here to ask for your help."

The wind stirred Xuexian's black hair.

Even the sense of unreality was blown away by the wind.

He put the saber back in his waist, stepped aside, let Roger and Daisy come out from the grass, and asked, "How do you... where do you come from? Do you live on this island?"

Why didn't he and Isar find out?

"We live over there." Roger pointed to the other side of the strait, in the direction of the valley, "Daisy and I swam here."

The clothes on the two children were all dry, and it seemed that they had swum over for a while.Their water skills should be very good, and they are also very courageous. They dared to swim across the strait that is difficult for adults to reach by physical strength.The concealment abilities of the two children are also very good, and they are far enough away from Xue Xian and Isar that if Xue Xian did not happen to come here, they might not be discovered.

Since leaving the supply station, Xuexian has never met a living human being, especially two such young children.

How did the other party find him?How do you know he is the Son?

Are you not afraid that he is a bad guy?

Still a little nervous, Daisy tugged at the hem of Roger's shirt and sucked her thumb.

Xue Xian saw a wound on her thumb, it was red, but the edge had been whitened by the sea water.Xuexian squatted down, trying to take her hand to help him take a look, but she only hesitated for a moment, then handed it over, and said reverently: "Hello, Your Highness Shengzi."

Xuexian asked: "How do you know me?"

Daisy spoke in a low voice: "We saw the tattoos on your body. Doris said that the Holy Son has tattoos that emit light."

Xue Xian was startled, thinking of something, his face quickly turned red and hot, but luckily it was not what he thought.

Roger told Xuexian: "I found you in the valley with Moulton."

"Did you find us in the valley?" Xuexian asked.

"Well, two or three days ago," Roger said, "you were fishing in the lake, and you took off your clothes. I guessed that you were the Son of God."

two or three days ago?

Xue Xian had indeed fished in the lake with Isar, and because he had gone into the water, he had also taken off his clothes.

But they didn't notice anyone following them at all.

Why didn't Isar find it?

Or did Isaar find out, but just went back to "build a nest" and didn't bother to pay attention?

"Bella is sick, and Doris said that only the Holy Son can drive away the evil spirits. I want to ask you for help." Roger said, "But Morton won't let me get close to you, and he won't let you help, because he is a People without faith."

Roger's tone seemed to be blaming his companions.

"Later, I saw you logging on the shore and preparing to cross the strait, so I went back and told Daisy. This morning, Daisy and I swam over secretly."

Roger and Daisy give a lot of names, the information is a bit complicated, and it sounds like they have a stronghold somewhere.

Xuexian asked, and Roger said that they have a base in the valley, and a total of 35 people live there. Compared with Alina's supply station that accommodated eight people, the scale is not small.

The Doris and Moulton they mentioned are both from the base. They usually work together in a division of labor. When Roger was learning to hunt in the valley with Moulton, he found Xue Xian and Isar passing by.However, because Isar looked like a dangerous person, and Moulton was cautious by nature, they did not immediately invite the two outsiders back to the base, but observed secretly and brought the situation back to the base.After deliberation, the people at the base believed that Yisar and Xuexian were capable enough to survive in Longyu, and decided not to invite them in order to avoid complications.

And Bella, whom Roger said needed help, was Daisy's younger sister.

The two children slipped out without the consent of the adults, and boldly followed their tracks across the channel to the archipelago.

If it is inhabiting the mainland, it is hard to imagine that there will be children who dare to do this and have the ability to do so.

"Bella is very ill." Daisy asked her sister with her heart in mind, "His Royal Highness, can you help us?"

Her eyes were very pure, reminding Xue Xian of many children he had received, and many people who had prostrated themselves under the altar.In just a few months, it was already so far away that it seemed to be a matter of a previous life. Xuexian never thought that he would be able to meet the believers of the temple on the other side of this planet, in such a no-man's land.

Their news is blocked, they don't know what happened to the continent they live in, and they don't know that everything has undergone earth-shaking changes. "Bright Eyes" exposed the bad behavior of the government and overthrew the temple, and the people no longer needed the Son.

The two children believed him easily, and they didn't even think about why the Holy Son appeared in Longyu and wandered here.

Like them, Xue Xian was an outcast.

He also doesn't know if he has the power to help others.

Daisy asked again: "Can you go to the base with us?"

Looking into the child's eyes at this moment, Xue Xian couldn't say a word of rejection: "...um."

Like Alina said, humans should help humans.

Daisy smiled at once, and Roger looked pleased too.Both children were sunburned, and their exposed skin was soaked in sea water, and it was a little peeling, but this did not hinder their confidence in continuing to swim back, and they would leave soon.

Daisy is a delicate little girl, she asked Xue Xian: "He won't go with you?"

Xue Xian put on the backpack: "Who?"

Daisy said, "Your love."

Xuexian didn't understand what she meant for a moment, as the son of God, he didn't have the concept of a lover: "My lover?"

Roger said: "We saw him before. He is very tall, has very long and beautiful hair, and is a very strange deformity."

Xue Xian let out a soft "ah", it turned out that they were talking about Isar, and judged from the appearance that Isar was a very strange deformity, but they didn't know that Isar was a dragon.

Xuexian couldn't tell the secret of Yisaer, and he didn't expect that they would have such a misunderstanding, so he could only say: "He is not my lover, but my...friend."

Roger: "But I saw you kissing through a telescope, right by the lake where you fished. My parents knew how to kiss."

Xue Xian: "..."

Daisy said: "Moulton and Doris kissed too, and I saw them undressing once, behind the mound at the base."

Roger agreed. "Yes, behind the mound, I saw it too."

Xuexian's face was getting hotter and hotter, almost completely burned, he didn't know what to say, and the pain between his legs began to hurt again, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look at the island where he came from.

He could only vaguely tell the two children: "Well...he will come."
