Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 61

Xue Xian put on her backpack again.

When they came to the platform outside the plank road, Fei Ze and Zhuo Yao who had turned into a dragon were already waiting there.

"Isar agrees?" Fizer asked.

Xuexian shook his head.

When he went back to pack his backpack just now, Xiaolong followed him.Xue Xian saw its pair of giant golden pupils from the window of the attic, and after a while, Xue Xian went downstairs with her bag on her back, walked out of the door, and it was sitting quietly under the branch outside.

Xiaolong still wants to follow.

It followed suit, Xue Xian was really reluctant to let it go, felt extremely uncomfortable, could only lower his head, so as not to let it see his tears.For a moment, Xuexian almost convinced himself of the idea of ​​going to the supply station, but in the end he persisted.

Naha is fine, but not yet his.

Xiaolong stood in front of Xue Xian, prostrated himself on the ground, and invited Xue Xian to ride on its back, Xue Xian had to say cruel words.

"You're too young." Xuexian said, "You can't protect yourself, and you can't protect me either. It will delay the progress of the base's construction and bring us danger."

These words are all false.

Xiaolong is already able to protect himself, and has always protected Xuexian very well. No one can do better than him.

"Stay here, don't follow." Xuexian said cruelly, "Remember what I said, grow up well."

After speaking, he left Xiaolong in front of the little red house and left alone.

The light of Theia shines on the forest of the crater, and not far away, there are dragons inhabiting in twos and threes. They seem to be watching the movement here, observing Isar and its human Yuka.He walked quickly without looking back, afraid that he would cry, and also afraid of seeing Xiaolong's sad face.

"You don't really need to go, you can't help so many people by yourself," Fazer said.

Even if Xuexian went, after decades of life, he still couldn't save the next group of humans who traveled across the ocean and came to Longyu.

"One, ten, hundreds or thousands." Xue Xian said, "The addition of the number of people helped over the past few decades will be very impressive."

Fei Ze looked at his black hair and eyes. There was something tough in the eyes of a human teenager.

Even Fei Ze, who has seen many human beings, seldom experienced it in human beings.

"Okay." Fei Ze nodded, "Let's go."

Fei Ze's body can't support him to transform again, he will climb onto Zhuo Yao's back together with Xue Xian.

The two rode onto the dragon's spine along Zhuo Yao's thick dragon wings, Fei Ze sat in front and Xue Xian sat behind, both clutching Zhuo Yao's bone spurs.Before leaving, Tammy, Victor, and Gaby all came out.

"Please help me take care of Isar." Xuexian was a little depressed, and waved goodbye to them.

Zhuo Yao climbed a few steps and flapped his dragon wings to take off.

The wind blew on Xuexian's face, making his clothes bulge. The adult dragon's flight was much more stable and faster. Xuexian had to bend his body as hard as possible to avoid the howling wind, and squinted his eyes into slits. Seam, look back at the scene below.

Covered with verdant vegetation, the extinct volcano like a furry blanket gradually recedes below. The clear lake in the center and the dragons resting on the mountain become smaller and smaller until they are blurred with Naha , can no longer see clearly.

The green dreamland is once again an emerald on the Black Sea.

Zhuo Yao flew so high that they almost flew above the clouds.

The light was extraordinarily dazzling, and there were white clouds all around his body. When he got in, he realized that it was just mist that couldn't be grasped.

Zhuo Yao lowered his altitude a little when he left the Black Sea completely. It turned out that he was climbing up continuously for the next effort-saving gliding.

Zhuo Yao has never flown with humans, and even Fei Ze in human form is a real dragon, so they don't stop and go like Isar, and they will consider human feelings.

They flew non-stop over the original habitat of the silver dragon, the small island with light blue water and white sandy beaches, and flew over the valley.

Next, is the endless forest.

Most of the land on this planet is no man's land, especially Dragon Islet.

On the way, Zhuo Yao finally took a break.Xuexian was a little unable to bear the impact of the long-term flight, so he seized the time to take out the sunglasses from his backpack and put them on, and then wrapped his head and face with clothes.

They also only stopped briefly at night to eat and rest.

Zhuo Yao catches the prey, Xue Xian raises a bonfire to roast it, and shares the food with Fei Ze.

He was only allowed to squint for a while, but Fei Ze woke him up: "Xue Xian, we should go."

After sending Xuexian off, they still had to go to the Misius, and the destinations were in two different directions, so Fei Ze arranged the schedule very tightly.

Xue Xian climbed onto Zhuo Yao's back again, eyes sleepy, Fei Ze was worried that he would fall off the dragon's back, so this time he was in front.But sitting in front and being blown by the night wind, Xue Xian was completely awake again, and could only open his eyes, looking at this lonely land covered by the actress's light.

Longyu is quieter at night.

The scenery along the way became more and more familiar. They passed a valley full of black boulders, a waterfall, and another forest, all of which Xuexian and Xiaolong had visited before.

The next day they came to the moss field, where Xuexian cooked wild vegetables for Fei Ze, but Fei Ze didn't like it.

Then the wetlands, the valleys... the flight path finally headed inland.

They seldom talked along the way, Zhuo Yao couldn't, Fei Ze was exhausted, Xue Xian was not in the mood.

These dragons are also not like Isar, who can sense human emotions.

"You want to cry."

Once Yisar suddenly said this to Xue Xian.

He also hugged Xue Xian and prevented him from walking, because the careful Isar thought that Xue Xian would feel less uncomfortable this way.

On the third day, Xuexian had already started to miss Xiaolong.

He tried his best to feel Xiaolong's feeling now, but he didn't know if the distance was too far away, he didn't feel anything.

Maybe it would be better this way, at least he won't feel more sad because of Xiaolong's sadness.

Four days later, they finally arrived near the supply station.

In order not to alarm the humans there, Fei Ze asked Zhuo Yao to stop at the edge of the forest, and Xue Xian had exactly the same intention.

They bid farewell here, and then Xue Xian was left alone.

The trees here are thicker and taller than other places, and the gaps in the forest are especially large.This time without Xiaolong's company, Xuexian walked into it, feeling as if people had been shrunk and entered the kingdom of giants.The good news is that the line of sight is relatively wide, making it easy to detect the threat of wild beasts and the traps set by Alina and the others in time.

Xue Xian took out the saber, and also took out the scales of the little dragon - the scales have the breath of a dragon, which can drive back some potential threats.

He walked slowly, stopping to find something to eat when he was hungry.

A man walked in the forest for most of the day, and he found on a tree trunk the mark he made when he came here last time, which showed that he hadn't lost his way.

Looking at the small fork carved with a saber on the trunk, Xuexian recalled some scenes when he and Xiaolong came here.That time when they were walking and playing around, its attention was all on Xuexian, and it accidentally got hit by Ainuo's tranquilizer gun.

Coincidentally, after walking for an hour this time, Xue Xian met the boy who was about his age again.

The black-skinned boy was still braided, carrying a bow, arrow and gun, and seemed to be hunting outside.

Seeing Xuexian, he was stunned, and walked out from behind the thick tree trunk that concealed his figure, and showed Xuexian a big smile with white teeth.

"Ah—" he gestured.

"Meet you again!" The dusty Xue Xian also smiled at him, "How are you, Ainuo."

The supply station is very lively.

Some people are logging, cutting the trunks into usable timber, some people are demolishing the outer walls of the supply station, and keeping the original doors and windows properly, and then merging and installing them after the building expands.Outside the gray oval building, the dilapidated airship has been dismantled, and the materials are piled up for use.The small shed used as a kitchen and the fence for raising chickens have been demolished. In the future, this area will be a new house.

The adults were busy, Daisy and Roger were playing with Bella at the side, after seeing Xue Xian, Daisy rushed over like an arrow: "Your Highness Son!"

With this cry, Xue Xian who suddenly appeared attracted everyone's attention.

All the people in the earth cave in the original valley recognized Xuexian, and they rushed forward, unable to hide their joy and welcome. The tall Moulton stood quietly behind the crowd, smiling at Xuexian.

"I knew you'd come!" he said.

It's like going back to the time when he was still in the temple, and these are the believers who are full of admiration for him.

Xue Xian was in a mixed mood, but felt that this was a good thing, because when he came, the people who were already looking forward to building a new base became even more enthusiastic about their work.

Daisy and Roger, who was carrying Bella on his back, welcomed Xue Xian into the house.

"How did you get here?" Daisy asked, looking up. "Where's Isar? Is he outside?"

Roger's face was dark and serious, he didn't know what he did, he swallowed when he heard the words, and said quietly: "Is Isael a man or a dragon today?"

Xue Xian shook his head: "No. Isar didn't come."

Daisy is disappointed, while Roger is relieved.

Daisy's thoughts were delicate, and then she said to Xuexian, "Grandpa Marlon and the others are gone."

Tears quickly pooled in her eyes.

"They sneaked away so that we could survive."

Xue Xian already knew about this, but he still couldn't help feeling sad. He touched Daisy's head, and Luo Jie also jumped up and hugged his thigh with red eyes. constitution.

Moulton soon returned with Doris and Alina.

After a long time no see, Alina gave Xuexian a tight hug: "My child, you are back."

This sentence is quite profound.

Xue Xianjiang buried his head on the old man's shoulder, his eyes were moist, and he didn't speak for a long time.

He is free.

But he didn't choose to go further afield.

He returned to the people.

Even if it's just such a few dozens of abandoned people.

Xuexian put down his backpack, and Doris brought him some food and drinking water.Everyone gathered around him and talked about the new arrangements for the base.

Arina has the blueprints left by Alexander here. They can expand according to the sample, and they also want to re-use the vegetable fields that were opened up before, and then feed some pheasants and wild boars.The supply station did not bring in water before because it was worried about the attack of wild animals. Now there are enough people here to build fences to resist wild animals and directly dig canals to divert water.When Moulton was driving the airship, he found something that looked like a solar panel under a cliff. He planned to pick it up and repair it. The new base will have sustainable solar energy, which can solve the power problem and no longer need to be used. Dim oil lamp.

In less than ten days, everyone arranged all the affairs in an orderly manner.

Arina probably already heard about Isar, but she didn't ask too much.

When Morton asked if Isar would come, Xue Xian said not yet.

In fact, he wasn't very sure. According to the little dragon's personality, it was likely to follow, just like the last time they met again at the Tower of Babel, he was angry and couldn't let go of its human beings.

"His Royal Highness!"

A man walked in hurriedly with a anxious expression on his face.

It was Arthur who had been seriously injured before. He didn't expect such a long-distance migration, and he just survived with his injuries.

He still didn't look well, the bandage around his waist was still there, his body was very weak, and he broke out in a cold sweat after saying a few words: "There is a person who seems to be sick, you should go and see him."

Moulton asked, "Who?"

Arthur: "The little guy with the red hair."

"It's Terrence." Alina said, "When we found him, he just had a fever, why did he..."

Without further ado, Xue Xian immediately got up to see the man named Terrence.

Terrence lived in a small room previously partitioned off from the supply depot.Staying with him was another thin man, both of them were withered and blackened, but Terrence was more serious, already convulsed slightly with fever, and unconscious.

The windows of this room were closed, airtight, and the smell was terrible, but Xuexian didn't stop, and came to the bedside: "How long has it been?"

The thin man replied: "It started last night. I didn't know you would come. I was afraid of accidents, so I stayed here all the time."

These two people are two of the four survivors Arina and Aino found on the coastline this time.

So they all knew Xue Xian.

I may have heard from Moulton and the others before, so whether they are believers in the temple or not, this man's attitude is still friendly.

"I'll stay with Jim." Moulton said, "Let's go out first."

After Arina led the crowd away, Moulton lowered his voice and asked, "How is it? Can he still wake up?"

The thin man named "Jim" glanced at Xuexian upon hearing this.

Xuexian sat on the bed and said to Moulton without hesitation: "Help him up for me."

Jim and Moulton stepped forward together, letting Xuexian hold Terrence's upper body in his arms.

Xuexian put his hand against Terrence's face, lowered his eyes and sang a hymn.

The light from the window shone into the room, only illuminating Xue Xian's beautiful side face, his eyes were downcast, and his eyelashes cast shadows.

Anyone who has been abandoned here should feel superstitious and absurd when seeing this scene again, but Xue Xian has a pious expression and a soft voice, as solemn as when he was standing on a high altar in the past.

After the long journey, Xue Xian was already very tired.

Terrence's situation is also more serious than expected.

It took Xuexian a long time this time to let the black air gradually dissipate from his face, and then his body temperature dropped, and his convulsions stopped.

Terrence fell asleep peacefully.

Xuexian handed him over to Moulton, went out to wash his face, someone handed him a towel, it was Jim.

"I didn't expect you to be alive," said Jim. "Your followers would be glad to know. They spend all day playing games with the opposition outside the temple, and praying for you as they march."

Xue Xian wiped his face, keenly grasped the meaning of Jim's words, and knew that he was not a believer in the temple.

Seeing the young man turned his head, there was a look of vigilance on that gentle face, Jim immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, I am just a non-believer, and my mother has received your help. Regardless of the 'sight' How should I put it, I don't hate you, I don't hate the temple, and I don't hate the governing hall, I'm a neutral person."

Xuexian relaxed a little, showing a little confusion.

He didn't seem to have thought that there would be people in the world who would hold a neutral view on this matter.

However, if it wasn't for the governing hall, Jim wouldn't have been sent here at all. Why is he still so calm?

Xuexian asked this question.

"The distortion won't stop." Jim replied, "If the heavily infected people are destined to turn into mutants, then staying in the habitat continent will only waste resources, pollute the land, or infect other people like Ancheng's mutants. The habitat continent Without Dragon Fire, where else can we be sent besides sending us here?"

He is not very old, in his 30s at most, but when he speaks, he has the sadness of seeing through the world.

"Unless one day, a complete cure can be found. Otherwise, for the long-term future of mankind, if I were in power, I would make the same choice."

Hearing these words, Xue Xian was startled for a long time.

It wasn't until Jim reminded "His Royal Highness, they are calling for you", that Xuexian came back to his senses.

He put down the towel, and his facial features, which had just been soaked in water, were very clean.

"Call me Xuexian." He said, "Here I am no longer the Holy Son, but the one who wants to live with you."
