Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 9

When Xuexian woke up, he was in a cave.

The entrance of the cave was still covered with snow, and snowflakes the size of goose feathers were flying in the air, but the inside of the cave was extremely warm, making him a little dazed for a moment, not knowing where he was.

This sleep was very deep, and Mi'er was dreamed of in the dream.

Mi'er prepared a large plate of roasted mutton with a strong aroma, and poured a glass of sake brewed from roses, plus some fruits for dessert, and was arranging a plate of vegetables in front of his bed.

In the dream, he didn't eat the roast mutton. After waking up, Xuexian felt lost. He opened his eyes and thought for a while, before he remembered that he was sent out of the habitat continent by a water boat, and sent to the territory of the dragon.

Where is this?

He sat up from the ground and smelled a very strange smell.Looking around, he found that not far away was flowing hot spring water, which was steaming, and the smell was the smell of sulfur.

The dragon has a keen sense of smell, probably the young dragon sent him here after he fainted.

Xuexian didn't feel the cold anymore, but his body was sore, especially in the waist and abdomen, as if someone had beaten him several times with a stick, and even touching it made tears flow out.He unbuttoned his outer robe, opened his inner garment and looked, and sure enough, a large piece of skin from the chest down was bruised and purple, all pinched out by dragon claws, first the black dragon, then this silver young dragon, It's too bad that old injuries just happened to be added to new ones.

Xue Xian hastily closed the clothes, and went to look at the wound on the sole of the foot.

The exquisite belt wrapped around the sole of the foot was full of blood and dust. It had long been worn out and looked extremely dirty. Fortunately, the wound on the sole of the foot had completely healed, leaving only a shallow trace. If he wanted to leave here, At least not be dragged down by foot injuries.

At this time, a gust of cold wind suddenly poured into the cave.

Xue Xian shivered from the cold, and looked towards the entrance of the cave.

A young dragon appeared at the mouth of the cave, poking its head in with a fish in its mouth.

Seeing that Xue Xian woke up, the young dragon got in with his whole body.

This cave is big enough that even a creature as huge as a dragon can turn around freely in it.This young dragon should have just crawled out of the water, and its beautiful silver scales were still dripping, bringing a chill to the warm cave.

Long lowered his head, and spat out the fish in his mouth in front of Xue Xian.

The fish was very plump, and I couldn't tell what species it was. It was more than one meter long, and it was still alive. As soon as it landed, it kept wagging its tail on the ground.

Xue Xian was taken aback, and quickly guessed what the young dragon was doing, could it be hunting and feeding him? !

He turned his head away and didn't intend to accept it. He didn't want to be favored by this dragon!

Seeing that Xuexian didn't pick it up, the young dragon pushed the fish towards Xuexian again with his snout.

"Ugh..."

A frightening growl came from the young dragon's throat.

Xuexian moved his body back, but still turned his head away: "I don't want it!"

The baby dragon utters a strange monosyllable: "Goo?"

Xuexian was still very angry in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the dragon's overtures, and even didn't even look at the fish: "I don't want your fish, and you don't need to bribe me! If you feel sorry, why don't you give me the fish?" I'm sending you back to the rainforest, I'm not hungry at all, I just want my watercraft!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of "gulu gulu" suddenly sounded in the cave.

It was Xue Xian's stomach that was so hungry that he began to protest.

As if they were going to sing a different tune, the purring sounded endlessly.

A suspicious blush appeared on Xuexian's face: "Anyway, I won't eat it, so if you want to eat it, eat it yourself!"

From the corner of the eye, he saw sharp black claws stretching out, and seeing that he said he would not eat, the dragon poked the fish back with its claws.

After all, it's just a young dragon, and it's not too polite. Such a big fish may be just a small thing between its teeth. When Xue Xian turned around, he saw the dragon holding the fish's head with its claws, and then lowered its head. Bite off most of the fish in one bite!

"Crack."

Blood splattered.

A fish that was still alive just now has a head left in the blink of an eye.

The dragon held the body of the fish in its mouth, raised its head and throat and rolled it, and swallowed it whole with a "gudong".

Seeing such a violent and decisive eating scene, Xuexian was stunned!

This dragon is also a picky eater and does not eat the fish head. There are faint bloodshots at the fracture of the fish head, exposing the pinkish white fish flesh.

It was the first time Xue Xian knew that raw fish was like this.

He has seen live fish, and he has only eaten the fish that Mier ordered the chef to make. The dishes are exquisitely arranged and delicious, such as fresh fish soup, steamed fish maw, stewed fish head, grilled fish steak with sauce... If you don't repeat the words, it is considered raw. The fish fillets were sliced ​​as thin as cicada wings and chilled, served with some condiments and side dishes. He never thought about what the fish looked like before it was cooked.

It turned out that when the cooking could not be called cooking, it was so bloody that it could only be called a corpse.

Fortunately, he didn't eat it, so he wouldn't eat living things like a wild beast!

Dragon is not going to clean up the mess, it is just a beast, there is no such concept.

After eating, it turned around and left the cave, leaving the fish head on the ground to emit a fishy smell.

Xuexian couldn't stand the smell of fish, so he simply stood up from the ground and walked far away.

Standing in the empty cave, listening to the dripping sound of stalactites, he was in a daze at this moment. In just two or three days, his life had been completely turned upside down.

It's been so long, I don't know if the people in the temple are looking for him, have the people in the main city noticed that he is missing?If he can't go back again, what will the teacher, Mier and the others do?What about those people?

"Xuexian, you were born as a child of God. You have divinity in you. You can bring courage, hope and love to the people." Dr. Bai once said to him, "As long as you are here, the people living in the mainland will be able to live forever." You will lose your faith, and the aberration will be completely controlled one day, before that, you will help us tide over the difficulties together."

Stomach convulsions, a strong sense of hunger struck again, Xue Xian's stomach made a high-pitched protest sound again.

He stood there, mist gradually appeared in his eyes, and he cast his gaze on the half of the fish tail that was eaten by the young dragon on the ground.

If you don't eat, you have no physical strength, and if you don't have physical strength, you can't find a way to go back.

He must not be hypocritical any longer.

After taking two steps towards the fish head, Xue Xian still squatted down, his white fingers protruding to his cheeks, where some fish meat remained.

After countless ideological struggles, he finally caught it.

Then, he closed his other hand, picked up the heavy fish head, and tried to send it to his mouth, but the fishy smell was getting stronger and it really made him want to vomit.

If he wanted to survive here and find a chance to return to the habitat continent, he could only live like a wild beast, no matter how much he resisted.

Xuexian kept making psychological hints to himself, and kept singing hymns in his heart.

"People of Blue Star,

Across the bright galaxy.

We are not afraid of hard work,

Fight against the dangers of aliens.

We praise the true meaning of love, praise the pure soul.

We are not afraid of changes, we will kill the ancient evil spirits..."

When he sang the last line, he finally mustered up the courage to open his lips, intending to slap on the leftover fish head eaten by the dragon.

This time, a strong cold wind poured into the cave, and it was the young dragon who came back.

Xue Xian still held the fish head in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

But the young dragon didn't notice at all, it came to Xuexian in the blink of an eye, opened its mouth and spit out four fish!

The fish flopped on the ground, with scales, without scales, white and red, all of different species, and they were smaller than the one-meter-long fish before. a lot of.

The baby dragon looks a little smug.

After spitting out the fresh fish, it flapped its wings twice on the spot, and the blowing wind blew Xue Xian's robe into the air, making him shiver from the cold, and quickly stopped him, saying, "Okay, okay! fanned!"

Obviously, Long didn't understand the emotion of human beings being angry. He just thought that he didn't like that kind of fish, so he went out and caught different kinds of fish and came back.

Xiaolong doesn't understand, but Xuexian understands.

He vowed not to eat it, but in the end he still had to accept the favor of the dragon. Xue Xian threw the fish head in his hand with a blushing face, looked at the pile of fish and asked in a low voice: "Are they all for me?"

The young dragon made a deep cooing sound, which sounded scary, but Xue Xian could actually understand that it was urging him to eat quickly.

I don't know what this young dragon wants to do by taking him away. It doesn't matter if he doesn't eat him, but he even preys on him.

Do you really want to repay your favor?

Although Xuexian didn't need it, he suddenly figured out one thing just now - no matter what the young dragon wants to do, as long as it doesn't eat itself, it can't trap him forever.He has to recharge his batteries and find opportunities for himself.

Moreover, what if this young dragon just wants to play with him on a whim?

Maybe as long as it makes it happy, it will be willing to send him back to the rainforest again!

You can choose from four different types of fish.

Xuexian picked the smallest fish.

But even if he was now dizzy with hunger and his chest was pressed against his back, the fish was big enough for him to eat twice.

The body of the fish is slippery and difficult to grasp.

As soon as it was caught in the hand, it struggled to manipulate its body, and slipped out of Xuexian's hand with a "swoosh": "Ah!"

He let out a short cry, the dragon was quicker than him, and it actually pinned down the fish with one paw!

This fish is disobedient, and being a hunter dragon is very unhappy.

The dragon continued to let out a low roar, and when it removed its claws, the fish was completely flattened and turned into a bloody fish cake!

Xue Xian: "..."

Not daring to look any further to avoid getting more unappetizing, Xue Xian chose a new fish.

This time he did not catch the fish in his hand, but found a stone nearby, and when the fish was about to die with its gills opening and closing weakly, he ruthlessly threw a stone at the head of the fish. go down.

After smashing the fish to death, Xuexian got angry and cut open the fish with the sharp corner of the stone.

Without giving himself time to think, he tore open the fish and stuffed it into his mouth.He still felt nauseous when he took the first bite, and he barely chewed it, but soon, he tasted the deliciousness of the fish.

Eating this fish raw was much more acceptable than he imagined, and he didn't know what kind of fish it was. The flesh of the fish was not greasy, nor fishy, ​​and had a little sweet taste. There were not many bones in the fish, only the back For a big thorn, Xuexian didn't even need to cut open the belly of the fish to remove the internal organs, just eating the meat from the back was enough for him to eat.

This is the second meal Xue Xian ate while living on a deserted island.

The last meal was the same fruit that made my stomach feel hot after eating, so I haven't eaten for a long time.

Once he was sure that he could accept eating fish raw, Xue Xian was like a savage, gobbling up all the meat from the back of the fish.

The juveniles are probably full from the predation process.

Seeing that the humans it captured started to eat, it found a place to hover, resting its head on the dragon's wings and closing its eyes to rest.

It was a posture of self-protection, with the hard scales exposed.

Dragons generally don't sleep like that. It may be because they have been bullied too much that they will always be vigilant like this.

After Xuexian finished eating the fish, he let out a long breath of relief.

His clothes and face were splattered with blood, his hands smelled of fish, his hair was messy, and he smelled like he was licked by a dragon yesterday.

Eat enough and sleep enough.

You can't really live like a savage, you have to keep your spirits up no matter what, Xue Xian was stunned for a while, and turned his eyes to the hot spring in the cave.

The dragon seemed to have fallen asleep.

Xuexian hesitated for a moment, walked to the hot spring to test the water temperature, the water was a bit hot, but he could accept it.He took out the belt first, cleaned it carefully, and put it on the stone next to the hot spring with care.

Then, he found a place with relatively shallow water to wash his face and hands.

Finally, he made a decision and quickly took off his shirt.

The young man was squatting beside the hot spring, his back was thin and his shoulder blades were as beautiful as a butterfly about to spread its wings.

The water in the quiet cave was sparkling, and with the sound of splashing water on his body again and again, the light and shadow on the water surface projected over the cave wall, the inverted stalactites, and then projected onto his snow-white skin, illuminating his body Dense tattoos.
