Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 35

Xuexian didn't understand where Isar was going when he said "should go back", he asked, but Isar didn't answer.

So Xuexian guessed that they might want to go back to the cave in Xueyu. If the "going back" that Long said meant going back to the lair, then the hot spring cave in Xueyu was the only lair Xuexian could think of that belonged to the dragon.

Dragons have a fixed lair, and there is also the concept of inheritance. If the elders in the family die, their descendants will have priority in inheriting the lair than other dragons. This feature Xue Xian once read in a textbook.If a dragon chooses a lair they like, they usually don't abandon it.

So he thought, even if Isar has turned into a human form now, he is still a nostalgic and stubborn little dragon in his bones.

"It's a pity I didn't bring those animal skins with me." Xue Xian said with some regret when he was packing up his things again, "It will be very cold when we enter the snowy area."

After he packed everything, Isar took the bag by himself.

Now that the dragon has transformed into a human form, with the same shoulders and arms as humans, it is no longer necessary to use its teeth to help humans hold backpacks.

The big backpack nearly half the height of a person is nothing to Yisar, and he even plans to come and pick up Xuexian.

Apparently, he thought humans were too weak to be injured even walking.

After rubbing ointment on Xue Xian's feet, they were already much better, and he was not a delicate person, so he quickly jumped away and said that he could go.He put on his shoes again and tidied himself up. By the way, he saw Isar's feet that were closer to the dragon's claws than his palms.

After returning to the snowy area, he had to find a way to make a pair of shoes for the dragon.

On the way, Xuexian thought so, now his strength seems to be stronger than before, maybe he can directly use fishbone to sew the bear skin.

The rocks in the cave can be picked up to build a stove, and the innermost ground is still the same as before, planned to be used as a bed.But now that the dragon has become like this, I don't know if it will be as afraid of the cold as humans. If so, it will definitely not be able to sleep at the entrance of the cave like before, so he needs to open up another area for the dragon to sleep.There is also hot spring water, he should also use the water in different areas, and can't mix it like before...

While thinking wildly, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the light.

Xue Xian paused, but saw that Yisaer who was walking in front had fallen back at some point, and was looking down at him at this moment, moving his lips: "Come on."

Xuexian: "What?"

Perhaps because he thought Xuexian was walking slowly, Yisar put the backpack in front of him, turned around, and put Xuexian on his back involuntarily.

This made Xuexian very uncomfortable.

Because dragons didn't do that before.

The change in shape not only changed the dragon's thinking and behavior drastically, but even his personality changed more obviously every minute and every second with the dragon's physical state, which was almost completely different from before.

"I can walk faster." Xuexian said a little embarrassedly, "Just concentrate."

Isar let out an "um", and this monosyllable made Xuexian hear the familiarity of the dragon saying "um".

He wanted to say something, but his stomach started to growl. He hadn't eaten for almost a day, and his stomach was protesting.

Then save your energy.

Xuexian had never been carried by anyone before, but it was not the first time he was lying on the dragon's back.Isar's back muscles are very broad, and scales can be vaguely seen under the silver hair. Xuexian touched it with his hand, but didn't feel the existence of those bone spurs on the dragon's back, so he hugged Isar's neck with confidence.

On the contrary, Yisar paused, and started again after a second or two.

Isar walked quickly.

Xuexian turned around and saw that the Misius, which was as huge as a city in the Gobi, had turned into a small black spot, and the bunker they stayed in could no longer be seen clearly.

Summer's Theia was already approaching the horizon, and his and Isar's shadows merged into one, stretched very long on the ground.

The light ahead was dazzling, Xue Xian took off his sunglasses, stretched out his hand from behind, brushed away Isar's hair, and put the legs of the sunglasses on Isar's pointed ears.In this way, the sunglasses were put on Isar's face.

He rested his head on Isar's shoulder.

"Tududuo——" he is still used to calling this name, and he remembered to correct it when he said it, "Isar?"

The dragon may not know that every time a human speaks, it needs to go back and forth, and only cares about moving forward.

So Xuexian went on talking: "I just thought about it for a long time, can we not go back to that cave in Xueyu? It's too cold."

Long still didn't answer, but Xue Xian felt that he agreed.

"I can go somewhere else with you."

"Anywhere—as long as it's not so cold."

Xuexian said so.

"We can choose a better lair, or we can build a house that looks like a human. I took an architecture class. You have turned into a human, and we have an audio transmitter. Other dragons dare not invade, and we are not afraid of distortion." body."

In order to look for the dragon, Xue Xian walked away all night without sleep, and dragging the dragon back to the bunker during the day took a lot of energy.

He lay on the dragon's back in a daze, and vaguely heard the dragon's answer, but because he was too sleepy, he couldn't hear clearly.

Occasionally, the wind blows across the Gobi wilderness, setting off wind and sand, bringing a little sound to the dead world.

Xuexian had that feeling again, no matter whether the dragon is Tududuo or Isaar, no matter what the dragon becomes, it seems that there are only two of them on this planet, they will never leave, and they will always be by their side.

Xuexian slept soundly, but woke up not long after being put down, he sat up and rubbed his eyes: "I seem to have fallen asleep."

The night had already fallen, and they came to a desert where they had been before. Xuexian looked around and recognized at a glance that this was the place they had walked through - not far away was a stack of stones, which were their works .

"Look, Tutu!" Xue Xian said pleasantly, "That's the stone you gave me, we've been here before."

Guessing that the situation where the dragon brought its huge head over to rub its cheek didn't happen, Xuexian turned around and saw the tall figure of Isar, only then did he realize that the dragon has changed into another form.

The temperature dropped at night, and the wind blew Isar's silver hair slightly, making Xue Xian feel strange again.

Yisar's night vision ability is very good, but he only looked in the direction Xuexian said, and put down his backpack without saying anything.

It looks like they're going to spend the night here tonight.

Xuexian felt much better after sleeping. He took out his electronic notebook, identified on it that the route they were passing now was indeed the previous one, and made a mark on it.When he passed by here the day before yesterday, he noticed that there were some dead branches nearby. As long as he simply built it, he could make a shelter for the two of them, and he could also pick up some firewood to burn.

Xue Xian was a little dizzy from hunger, and he also remembered that there were some gerbils in the desert, as long as they found their holes, they could find a way to catch and eat them, but the dragon had hunted enough food at that time, so they didn't do anything to those gerbils.

He's going to catch some tonight, hopefully he can.

But I don't know if Isar would like to eat gerbils?Xuexian thought about this, and suddenly realized that if it was Isar or the dragon form, he would definitely not think about such a question.

After Xuexian finished building the shelter and piled up the firewood, Isar had already returned with his prey.

It was a meerkat that had evolved long ears, was very fat, had an arrow stuck in its body, and was dripping blood.

Xue Xian was surprised.

Why did the dragon learn how to use a bow and arrow without a teacher after it became a human?

Isar threw the meerkat to the ground, and dropped the bow too.

The bow was broken, apparently due to gravity, during use.

The firewood was piled up, and the meerkat was also cleaned and gutted, and baked on the fire.Yisar washed his hands, sat beside the fire with Xuexian, and threw the broken bow and dead branches into the fire.

Xuexian couldn't stop it in time: "My bow——"

Isar turned to look at him, as if not understanding.

Xuexian then explained distressedly: "It was given to me by Ainuo, and he transformed it with me. It is a gift."

Isar stretched out his hand, hooked his fingers on Xuexian's collar, and pulled out a thin rope, on which was hung another gift from Ainuo, a crystal sword pendant, and an amulet.

"... Ainol." Isar said, "There are more."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Xue Xian inexplicably felt that the pendant was about to be lost, so he quickly took the pendant away and hid it back in his collar.

"It's different, each gift has a different meaning." Xuexian told Isar, "It's like the herbs Alina gave me, the stones you gave me... I treasure them all."

Isar: "?"

Dragons are not human beings, and they can be forgiven for being unkind.

Xuexian wanted to make him understand better, so he dragged the backpack over and took out a shiny object from it.

Silvery white, palm-sized, thin and hard.

"Look, these are your scales." Xuexian said, "I picked them up when I was looking for you. There are two of them in total, and I have kept them in my collection. When I can't find you, I am in a hurry, Worried, but I can look at your scales and miss you, which can give me some comfort."

He lowered his head and rummaged in the backpack, wanting to find another one, and continued: "Ainuo is the first friend I met after I came here... No, strictly speaking, it is the first friend other than you." My first friend, the first human friend... We hit it off very well, and I don’t know if we will meet again in the future, so his gift is very precious to me.”

Xue Xian only felt his body being pushed heavily, and he fell to the ground.

Isar stepped forward.

Xuexian wanted to laugh at first, but he and Long always played like this, every time they talked and played together, they always had to compete for superiority.

Of course, the dragon gave way to him every time.

The firelight shone on Isar's face, making the center of his golden pupils narrow a bit, just like in the dragon form, with the innate indifference of a beast.

At this moment, he was pressing on top of Xue Xian, using an aggressive posture, his physique was much larger than Xue Xian, and the dangerous aura that was completely different from dragons and belonged to another creature completely enveloped Xue Xian.

Xuexian was inexplicable, didn't know whether the dragon was angry or thinking of something else, but instinctively felt that Yisaer at this time was strange and dangerous.

He put away the relaxed expression on his face, his heartbeat suddenly became fast, and his breathing became short of breath: "What's wrong?"

But soon, he heard Isar say, "By Kagram."

This time it is not through the transmission of consciousness, but with the use of real language.

Isael uttered the complicated syllables clearly, exactly the same as his stubbornness when he was in the dragon form: "By Kagram."

Xue Xian should have breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart beat faster, he seemed to understand something, his eyes widened, and his whole body was not well.

If Long didn't misunderstand the meaning of this syllable at the beginning...

"Yes, it's Xuexian." Xuexian swallowed, "It's not Yuka."

Isar didn't speak for a long time, but he didn't leave either.

He stared at Xuexian's eyes, nose and lips, and listened carefully to Xuexian's faster and faster heartbeat and breathing.

Afterwards, Yisaer pulled Xue Xian up, hugged her in his arms, and said only three words: "Don't be afraid of me."
