Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 77

In autumn, there was a long rain in the forest.

The rain soaked every inch of the land, and overnight, sprouts appeared in the vegetable fields, and fresh vegetables were settled.

People get the tools at their fingertips, and the construction speed of the houses is accelerated. The construction has been completed, and only the details need to be perfected, and then the residence can be allocated.The preliminary work preparations for the research institute were also completed. Professor Tu came to the base once and invited several people from the base to the research institute for sampling.The first person to go was Moulton. When he came back, he told everyone that he only took blood and some epidermis from the deformed parts, and the trauma was insignificant.

The pace of life at the base suddenly slowed down.

Naha contacted Xuexian at this time.

It was Gaby who hadn't spoken for a long time. She told Xuexian that Isar and Tammy had already set off and should arrive at the base soon.

Xue Xian already had a feeling in the dream, he knew that Isar was coming, but thought that Isar would bring Zhuo Yao or Victor.

"Is Zhuo Yao's injury better?" Xue Xian asked worriedly.

"It's getting better soon." Gaby said, "He was not seriously injured, but he didn't want to deal with the humans in the research institute. Victor was supposed to be with Isael, but Tammy thought it would be best to provide Two samples of male dragon and female dragon, try to provide a sufficient basis for human research, and it will not be so troublesome in the future."

Xuexian understood, and he asked Gaby: "By the way, last time... the house you said I could move to is still there?"

Gaby: "Of course. That's the place you chose, and it will only be left to you. But last time when the spaceship was launched, it caused an earthquake, and the foundation of the house was a little loose, and it needs to be repaired. What, you and Isar Are you coming back to live?"

Xuexian: "It's possible, I don't know."

Gaby was very perceptive, and she guessed the reason right away: "Xue Xian, are you going to complete the contract with Isar?"

Xuexian: "Yes."

Gaby cheered a little, and said with a smile: "Congratulations!"

"Thank you." Xuexian said, "I feel a little nervous."

Gaby said: "Don't be nervous, it will be a little uncomfortable at first. The dragon's mark will change your body, you will feel pain, and your bones will feel like being pulled, but it is not difficult. Slowly, you will get used to it. This kind of transformation, when you truly become a dragon, you will feel the connection with Isael more clearly, and you will also see more beauty in this world."

Xuexian was confused when he heard it, so he could only respond obediently: "Oh."

Gaby was very happy: "To tell you the truth, I have already started to imagine flying with you who has become a dragon! Xuexian, you must be a very beautiful dragon!"

Gaby's words painted a picture that Xuexian couldn't imagine, but it calmed some of his nervousness.

He doesn't feel real about being a dragon soon, he just wants to be with Isael.Rather than becoming another species, he hopes that he and Isar can accompany each other like Gaby and Zhuo Yao.

After finishing the communication, Xuexian walked out of the room to the door, watching the continuous rain.

Isar is approaching, Xuexian can feel it.

The raindrops fell into the puddles, but his skin covered by clothes also felt slightly cool to the touch, because the rain also wet Isar's scales.

They are breathing the same air, feeling the same rain.

In addition to providing some samples to the research institute, Xuexian knew very well what the arrival of Isar this time represented, so when he thought that Isar was approaching here, he couldn't stop the rumbling in the depths of his chest.

"Xuexian!"

Alina called his name from the house across the way.

Xue Xian looked there, Alina was waving to him, he ran over in the rain, and found that Ainuo and Doris were also there, and the three were drinking tea around the table.

The tea was collected and made by Doris herself after accidentally discovering it outside some time ago, and this is the first time to brew it.

On rainy days, tasting tea in a warm room is just a very common thing for people living in the mainland, but it is something that people who came to Longyu have never imagined and never had, even if it rains After stopping they will be busy again.

"Come and sit down." Arina greeted Xuexian to sit down, poured him a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile, "After the rain, everyone suddenly became idle, and the time of the day was stretched all of a sudden. It’s still a little unaccustomed.”

"Yes." Doris also smiled, "Xuexian, taste it quickly."

Xuexian sniffed it: "It smells so good."

He praised sincerely, holding a teacup and taking small sips.

Conditions are limited, the tea leaves are made rough, but the taste is fragrant and sweet, Xuexian likes this taste very much.Dragons are carnivorous animals, so will Isael like this taste?

—Wait, why did he think of Isar again?

Xuexian felt that he was a little absent-minded.

They chatted for a while, Ainuo gestured to Xuexian with an excited expression, he was telling Xuexian a good news.

Ainuo is a child born in Longyu. Although he is also an infected person, he has never developed a disease. The research institute chose him as the second person to provide samples. He was originally only interested in his samples, but after learning that they After his life experience, a scientist told him that he was willing to go to the sample bank to screen through his genes to see if he could help him find his family members living in the mainland.Ainuo is not an outcast, and may have the opportunity to reunite with his blood-related family members in the future.

Arina helps Ainuo share the good news with Xuexian.

Xuexian was very happy: "That's great, Ainuo!"

Ainuo grinned and expressed with gestures: It's all because of you, Xue Xian, you helped us.

"This is also the good luck you brought me." Xuexian pulled out the pendant Ainuo gave from his neckline, "Because of this amulet, everything went smoothly for us, and even bad things were saved. I will pass this good luck on to you now. you."

Ainuo did not refuse, he bowed his head obediently, asked Xuexian to help him put the pendant back around his neck, and asked again: Will you go back?

Xuexian shook his head: "Probably not, I will stay here and do what I should do. I want to contribute to the base, and I want to witness the success of the research. No one will be sent to Longyu in the future. "

Ainuo continued to gesture, and he asked: What happens after the research is successful?

"If the research is successful..." Xuexian said, "then there is no need for me to go back."

The habitat continent is the place where Xuexian was born and raised, and there are people he loves, but he looks calm and natural when he says such words.

Xuexian is always at peace with the situation, and has a power that makes people around him feel calm.

Aino: Why?

Alina looked at Xuexian, the wise eyes of the old man were very kind, which made Xuexian get some encouragement: "Because that means that I have fulfilled my mission, and the people no longer need the temple, and they no longer need me. And in the end The important thing is that Isar is here, and when that day comes, I will always be with Isar."

What will the day of research success look like?

What choice will they make?Everyone couldn't help asking themselves.

"Will the research be successful?" Doris couldn't help asking after hearing what Moulton had said in the institute, "Can we wait until that day?"

No one can answer this question.

However, she didn't seem to expect to get an accurate answer, she just asked what everyone thought.

This is the answer that humans have been longing for for thousands of years since they have colonized this planet.

That hope is too extravagant.

People don't even dare to fantasize about it, for fear that the dream will be shattered, so they can only carefully protect it. Even if they have received the cruelest and most unfair treatment, this common dream still exists in their hearts, and it is still worth uniting and fighting for it together. the effort.

The raindrops outside the window suddenly changed direction and fluttered in the air.

A gust of wind swept over the forest, swept across the base, and blew the rain into the window. The people in the room were blinded, and Ainuo immediately got up and went to close the window.

Alina said: "The weather is really strange, the wind suddenly became stronger."

Xue Xian's heart skipped a beat.

He could feel something getting closer to him, and he stood up abruptly.

"Xuexian?" Doris asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xuexian said: "I want to go out for a while!"

As he said that, he ran out without even hearing Alina's voice calling him to get the umbrella.

The sudden wind had died down.

When Xuexian ran to the gate of the fence, he turned back and found Isar's clothes in the room, and took an extra set of his own for Tammy to use.Afraid that his clothes would get wet, he remembered to take the umbrella this time and hugged the clothes tightly in his arms.

People stepped out of a path in the forest outside the fence, Xue Xian hurriedly walked towards the water pool, but stopped after walking not far.

He closed his eyes, then immediately turned around and ran in the other direction.

Most of the native plants in this forest are infinite stars, which are extremely tall and strong. After a summer, the vegetation is still dense. If you don’t pay attention, you will get lost, but Xue Xian can run smoothly in it - as big as the nearby terrain, as small as Even Xue Xian was very familiar with the protrusion of tree roots in the soil.

The forest is covered by treetops, and the rain is not so dense. Xuexian walked very fast, and some small animals in the treetops in the forest were fleeing in the opposite direction to him in a panic, as if they were facing a big enemy. Xuexian stopped occasionally to look They move forward more firmly.

"Xue Xian."

Someone stopped him again.

Xue Xian turned around and saw Lei Li, who was standing under a tree without an umbrella, his blond hair was soaked, and he looked a bit embarrassed.

It seemed that Raleigh had just left the institute and planned to go to the base.

Lei Li stayed at the research institute most of the time, and he did what he said. He said that he came back because he was worried about Xue Xian and Dr. Bai. Everyone has had a physical examination and seen trauma.Rayleigh's character is indeed a bit eccentric, but he answers all questions, and people like to ask him questions about the Institute.

Xue Xian is not far from the destination, but there is still a distance from the base.

So he stuffed the ball of clothes under his jacket to cover it up, walked closer, and handed the umbrella to Rayleigh: "Hello, Rayleigh."

Lei Li just stood there, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Xue Xian's actions.

Xuexian looked at him with black and white eyes, very sincere, without any impurities: "This umbrella is for you, don't you want to go back to the base? It's still far away."

Rayleigh's eyelashes were wet, making his blue eyes even darker.He glanced at Xuexian's slender neck and the clothes wrapped in his arms, and asked Xuexian, "Where are you going?"

Xue Xian stuffed him with the umbrella, and took two steps back: "Go over there."

Raleigh is a very smart person. He asked, "You look very happy. Iser is here? I just noticed a change in the wind direction. There should be dragons."

For some reason, Xuexian didn't really want to talk to him about Isar, so he backed off a little, but didn't speak.

"You can't be sure about Isar." Lei Li moved the umbrella over, trying to cover Xue Xian from the rain, "It's too dangerous, I'll go with you."

"No need." Xuexian shook his head, then said, "I'm leaving," and ran into the forest without looking back at Leili.

He feels that some prejudices do not necessarily need to be dispelled by refutation, and it will take time.

Meeting Lei Li didn't affect Xuexian's mood, but without the umbrella, his hair got a little wet soon, and his coat was also slightly wet.

When he came to an empty and quiet area, Xue Xian felt that he was being surrounded by some kind of aura, so he immediately stopped and looked around.

"rustle."

The wind continued, but very lightly.

The beast hides in the depths of the dense forest. The dim light of the rainy day reduces the refraction of its scales, allowing it to lie in ambush in the dark without a sound. Those golden vertical pupils are quiet, and their gaze falls on the young man in the forest. .

The young man has black hair and black eyes, his fair skin contrasts sharply with the dark green leaves, like a forest elf, the picture is extremely pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps sensing its approach, the boy turned his head sharply and met those vertical pupils.

look at each other.

Except for the sound of rain and wind, the forest was quiet.

After a while, the golden vertical pupils lurking behind the round-leaved plants moved forward, gradually revealing the true face of a beast, making the boy's eyes widen and he backed away unconsciously.

"I've never seen a dragon of that size."

Xuexian's mind suddenly remembered the words that Professor Tu said.Sure enough, as Professor Tu said, it was a real giant dragon, bigger than Victor and Zhuo Yao.

As the dragon moved forward, the ground seemed to be shaking.

Its skull is covered with fine scales, and there are bone spurs around the eyes, lower jaw and top of the head. Those bone spurs grow from the top of the skull to the neck, and then grow to the back. The further back, the thicker and sharper it is. Anyone, anyone No creature would want to taste the taste of being pierced by a bone spur.

Its neck is extremely slender, and if it stands upright, it can easily surpass the treetops. Its body is too large and heavy, and it has already crushed a large number of trees. stretched it.The silver scales on her body are very beautiful, decorated with water droplets, like sharp knives, and the rain is sliding down the scales, all the way to her full belly.

People have a natural sense of fear when facing such a huge creature, and there is nothing better than this time to feel their own insignificance.

It lowered its ferocious head, and its icy giant pupils looked at Xuexian without blinking.

so strange.

"Isar..."

Xuexian's voice trembled unconsciously.

He mustered up the courage to take a step forward, and stretched out his hand, and the giant dragon lowered its head a little lower, and gently touched his palm with its kiss.

Xuexian's palm was hot.

The head that could be held with both hands before was no longer the same.

A human's palm is not as big as a dragon's scale, and to a dragon, it is as soft as a bone.

This was the first time Xuexian saw Isael's adult dragon form, which was completely different from the young and small dragon periods. It had been completely reborn, which shocked and shuddered him, but he couldn't help being fascinated.

The dragon's breath sprayed warmly on Xue Xian's face.

It was raining.

Xue Xian's black eyes seemed to have been washed by water, those black eyes of Xue Xian seemed to have been washed by water, so bright, he opened his lips again: "...you are back."

The dragon was silent and closed its eyes, as if responding to the human murmur.

Xue Xian withdrew his hand, raised his head and said to Long: "I brought clothes for you and Tammy." His heart was pounding, "Where is Tammy?"

Tammy should be nearby too.

Xue Xian originally thought that they would immediately switch to human form like every time Zhuo Yao and Victor landed, so he brought clothes to replace them.But now the dragon has no intention of switching forms, and there is no sign of Tammy.

Long didn't make the next move, but the consciousness belonging to the adult body was firmly squeezed into Xuexian's mind.

Xuexian's heart beat faster, he had already anticipated what would happen next, so he obediently put all his clothes on a large round leaf on the ground, and Tammy would come to pick them up later.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon's breath brushed over Xue Xian's head, the wind blew the rain, and the dragon wing had been obediently handed over to him: "Yu Kagram."

The deep dragon language broke into the heart.

Xue Xian's limbs and bones were resonating with it, he pursed his lips, then obediently grabbed the bone spurs on the dragon's wings, and slowly climbed up.

The dragon was very patient, and it was slippery in rainy days. It took Xuexian some time to come to its back, sat down between the two rows of bony spurs that were the widest, and firmly grasped them.

Dragon stood up.

The field of vision was suddenly elevated, and Xue Xian let out a soft cry unaccustomed, and grasped the two bone spurs in his hand even tighter.

The dragon felt the movement of human hands, and the muscles on its back suddenly convulsed violently, and its claws scratched restlessly on the ground. Then, it raised its head and let out a roar that broke through the sky, as if to vent its majestic possessive desire and desire to conquer.

The animals hidden in the forest were frightened and ran away like a tide.

Xue Xian's face quickly became hot, and he bent down, ready to sprint.

The dragon's wings fanned the wind, and they were above the forest. The air flow made the rain pour down, and the forest instantly became the scene of a storm.

Xue Xian was drenched all over, and his thin and slender body was outlined by his clothes. He was like a flat boat in a storm, he could only use his body to cling to the cold and solid back of the dragon, beating like a pounding in the middle of the whistling wind.

The dragon didn't leave immediately, it passed the white research institute, came to the top of the dusty supply station, circled twice over the new human base, and then flew to the distance with its human youth.
