Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 20

Its daybreak.

Taking advantage of the faint morning light, Xuexian climbed to the railing lightly, and looked down the tower.

The tower door was wide open, and light illuminated the base of the tower.

There were three or four deformed corpses on the ground, which fell from the operating room last night. The other deformed bodies were nowhere to be found, and he seemed to be safe.But the new question is obvious, since the ladder is broken, how will he get down from here?

Maybe God just loves to joke with Xue Xian.

While he was thinking, there was a dull sound above his head.

He looked up and saw a severely deformed body appearing on the glass on the top of the tower.

That glass is an extremely hard material, even bullets can't break it, but after more than 1000 years of baptism, for some reason, a crack has appeared in it.

In just a few minutes, No.2, No.3... more distortions appeared on the glass.

It turned out that the mutants who broke into the tower last night did not leave.

Without a ladder, they could no longer climb up, so by climbing the vines that twined around the outer wall of Babel, they climbed all the way to the top of the tower.

The number of mutants is more than Xue Xian imagined.

At this time, several faces filled with black air were stuck to the cloudy and hazy glass, staring at the helpless and delicious young Son in the tower with pairs of pure black eyes.

I was too flustered last night.

At this time, Xue Xian only realized later that it must be that after he entered the operation room at night and turned on the equipment, the lights in the tower attracted the nearby aberrations.

This place is close to the snowy area, so it stands to reason that there wouldn't be many aberrations. Xue Xian's operation recruited most of the aberrations.

The house leak happens to rain overnight, but it's too late to regret it.

The glass doesn't seem to be able to last for too long. If these aberrations break into it, Xuexian doesn't know where else he can escape.

The bitten arm was still in severe pain.

This time Xue Xian did not hesitate, picked up the long fishbone on the ground again, and was ready for a decisive battle: "Go!" He scolded those deformed bodies, "I warn you, I will not be soft this time!"

It is impossible for severe deformities to understand human language.

Attracted by Xue Xian's voice, the aberrants became even more excited, desperately wanting to break through the glass and jump into the tower.

The tower is [-] meters high, isolated and helpless.

Xuexian felt a little desperate.

He is not yet of age.

If he is a child of an ordinary family, he should still be growing up under the care of his parents and friends.

In this short life, he never seemed to get real happiness, but he was never pessimistic or lost.

Even if he leaves the habitat continent and is forced to come to this deserted and dragon-infested Dragon Islet, even if he learns of the darkness of the world and his only hope is shattered, he is always trying to find a way to survive.

The current situation made Xuexian feel for the first time that he should not survive this day.

"Bang-"

The glass shattered a big hole.

The No. 1 severely deformed body squeezed in from above, the glass cut scratched the skin on his hands and face, black and viscous blood dripped on the glass and fell on the floor.

The deformed body couldn't feel the pain, and after landing, it only let out a scream of excitement, and rushed towards Xue Xian!

Xuexian tried his best to stab out the fishbone, but he missed the first stab. His will and body were too weak, so he had to turn around and run away. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the No.2 deformity jumping down, blocking his way!

"what!!"

Xue Xian yelled in a broken voice, and a brute force burst out from his whole body, and he turned around abruptly.

Those fighting skills learned in fencing class have long been forgotten.

Relying on an instinct to survive, he closed his eyes tightly, held the fishbone and stabbed it wildly, feeling blood spattered on his face and body, and he didn't know whether it was the deformed body or his own.

At that moment, he didn't even know what he stabbed.

I only heard my own roar, the howling of the deformed body, the crackling sound of the device screen, and the violent vibration of the heartbeat falling on the eardrum, forming a loud noise that isolated the world.

It's like a swan song of fate.

"boom--"

Something falls.

But there was no excited whistling sound from the deformed body.

The whole world seemed to be suddenly quiet.

Xuexian pulled out the fishbone with a "poof" and stood there bloodied, gasping for breath.

He opened his eyes, and saw two deformed bodies stabbed to death by him lying in a pool of blood on the ground...and a few extra stumps that came from nowhere.

"Crash."

Two more bodies fell from above.

At the same time, the wind also blew in through the glass crack, bringing with it a clean and moist scent of grass and trees belonging to the plain.

Xuexian's mind was buzzing.

When he looked up, the first thing he saw was the blue sky.

The eyelashes were wet with black blood and stuck together, so he raised his arm and wiped it. When he looked over again, a pair of giant golden pupils appeared outside the glass.

"Ow—"

Black blood hung on the snout and fangs of the young dragon, and it roared deafeningly into the tower.

The four eyes met, one person and one dragon confronted each other for about ten seconds, Xue Xian spoke first, calling out the dragon's name as if in a dream.

"Tu Tuduo?!"

The young dragon walked up and down the top of the tower anxiously, but did not answer right away.

Xue Xian could only see it passing by the silver scales, sharp claws and head outside the gray glass from time to time.

The light of Theia penetrated the glass, causing the young dragon to cast a frightening black shadow on the floor of the operating room. Xuexian didn't feel scared, but almost cried with joy: "Tutuduo! It's you! You're looking for me again! "

The young dragon whimpered horribly and tried to enter the tower several times, but because of its huge body, it was still unable to do so.

On the contrary, its heavy trampling and its own weight made the top of the tower vibrate and drop bricks, gravel and dust, and the tower body also made a muffled sound that made people clasp their toes.

If this continues, there is definitely a danger of collapse.

Xuexian has to find a way to get out!

While packing his luggage, he shouted upwards: "Tutuduo, don't step on it! I'll be right out, wait for me!"

Wolf skins and bear skins were all wrapped up and tied tightly to the body.

These things were prepared by him with great pains, and accompanied him through the extremely cold snowy region, he could not throw them away easily.

Then there are dried meat, fish bones...

The fishbone used as a sword was covered with black blood, Xuexian wiped a corpse's clothes a few times, and said "sorry" to the corpse.

After Xuexian finished all these, Xiaolong was getting impatient.

It also seemed to realize that its own weight would crush the top of the tower, and now it had left the top of the tower and was hovering around the tower in the air, making noises from time to time.

The top of the tower was too high for Xue Xian to climb up.

He turned around in the tower in a panic, and saw the loose bricks on the wall, so he used his fishbone to dig out some loose bricks, and successfully saw the light and vines outside.

——Maybe, he can grab these vines and climb down like those mutants!

There were only a few loose bricks, and the gap could no longer be enlarged. Fortunately, Xue Xian's body was soft and thin enough.

He threw the thing out of the gap first, and then squeezed out by himself. After successfully grabbing the vine, he just glanced down, and his brain became dizzy for a while.

Too high!

Everything at the bottom of the tower becomes very small.

Such a height made Xuexian feel a little dizzy, but it was much better than the previous two times when he was captured by the dragon.

A gust of wind blew past, and the air current lifted Xue Xian's holy robe, making him look precarious.

"Ow—"

It was the young dragon flapping its wings and gliding around the tower not far or near, apparently thinking about which angle would be more appropriate to grab the human waist.

Thinking of the bruises on his body after being imprisoned by the dragon's claws, Xue Xian couldn't help shouting at it: "You don't need to catch me! I can go down by myself!"

The vines are slippery.

As soon as Xue Xian was so distracted, he only felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body fell down the tower——

"what!!!"

Looking at the top of the tower that was getting farther and farther away, only one thought flashed through Xue Xian's mind, it's over!

But his body bumped into something suddenly, and his back hurt so badly that his eyes went black from the pain.

Immediately, the angle changed, and Xue Xian quickly realized that he had landed on the dragon's wings!At the critical moment, that young dragon used its dragon wings to firmly support its weak human beings!

The young dragon let out a long whistle, and the cry echoed on the plain for a long time.

The dragon's wings need to be flapped to fly. In the strong wind, Xue Xian had no time to rejoice that he didn't fall into a meat paste, so he quickly grabbed the edge of the dragon's wings.He was thrown back and forth by the action of the dragon's wings, so he struggled to climb towards the dragon's back. With a brute force, he successfully grabbed the two longest bone spurs on the young dragon's back, and lay down firmly on the young dragon's back. back!

Then, his field of vision dropped sharply.

At that moment, Xuexian seemed to have returned to a dream, as if he had become this young dragon again, making a rapid dive before landing.

The flying experience in the dream is completely different from that in reality. With the sound of the wind, Xue Xian's adrenaline surged, his heart beat so fast that even his eardrums were pounding, and he quickly closed his eyes.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to really fly!

The first flight experience was not too long, and the young dragon quickly found a good foothold and landed easily.

The dragon's claws stepped on the soft lawn, and Xuexian's legs slid down the dragon's wings, unable to bear the gratitude in his heart, he rushed over and hugged the young dragon's head: "Meet you again, Tududuo!"

Xuexian was a little excited, but also a little bit like crying: "Thank you for saving me!"

The dragon's scales were as cold as in memory, and the smell was no different from the previous days.

Reunited again, Xuexian misses it very much.

But the young dragon only let him hug him for two or three seconds, then retreated a few steps with a low growl.

It shook its head, as if wanting to get rid of the gentle touch of human touch, then blinked its eyelids, a pair of giant golden pupils revealed ice coldness, and exposed its sharp teeth to Xuexian.

"Ugh..."

The young dragon growled.

Xuexian walked forward in confusion, trying to touch its jaw again: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable or injured?"

The young dragon raised its neck to avoid the human hand, raised its head, spread its wings, and the roar in its mouth became deeper and deeper: "Woo——"

Xuexian stopped in his tracks, withdrew his hand, and took a moment to discern its emotions.

Finally, cautiously, he tentatively called the dragon's name: "Tutuduo, are you angry with me?"

The young dragon raised its head and once again roared loudly towards the sky.

The ground on the plain seemed to tremble twice, startled the beasts and birds among the trees and grass, and fled in all directions.

main city.

Colonel Hudis came to the Temple after arranging the Guard business, and strode to the office.

As expected, "Bright Eyes" took action to intercept the signal sent by the Holy Son to the temple. The relevant people are working with Dr. Bai to find a way to locate the manipulator behind "Bright Eyes".

"Report to the colonel." Seeing him coming in, the technician gave the same reply as last time, "The target has adopted a new encryption method. Unfortunately, we were unable to lock his position in time again this time."

In the office, the haggard Dr. Bai was still sitting at the desk, with a sad face: "Colonel."

Hu Dith nodded: "Dr. Bai."

In fact, everyone was mentally prepared for this result.

"Bright Eyes" is elusive, powerful, and supported by cutting-edge technology and the power behind it. It is not known where the veins have infiltrated. Naturally, it is not so easy to be caught.

After the giant screen was closed, although the people were evacuated, there were still criminals making trouble outside, and a lot of manpower was needed to suppress it. The main city is destined to be a sleepless night tonight. Not only the guards have to rotate all night, but the consul has also issued an order to dispatch troops Come for reinforcements.

Colonel Hudis was in a state of desperation, hung up the call from his wife on the bracelet with his fingers, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Is there any other way, such as reverse cracking?"

The technician said: "Theoretically yes, we are trying."

Dr. Bai's eyes were red, and he obviously didn't sleep all night: "Colonel, Xue Xian has learned to use the self-rescue positioning system, and the message he sent must have detailed coordinates. Forget it if we can't find 'bright eyes', maybe we can first crack the location system that is blocked by the system." Intercepted signal, find Xuexian's location—"

Hudis interrupted him: "Of course, Dr. Bai, that's our next step. Now our more important goal is to catch 'Bright Eye'."

"I'm afraid Xuexian won't last long." Dr. Bai was almost pleading, "He's only 17 years old... how hopeless such a young child must be now. Besides, there are many Xuexian believers out there. It is also a good time for the Temple to regain the hearts of the people..."

The Holy Son disappeared. Apart from those responsible for his safety and daily life in the temple, Dr. Bai, as a teacher, was the first to be held accountable.

But on the night of the incident, Dr. Bai, who was over [-] years old, was also stunned. Because he was intolerant to anesthesia, he was still in a state of sequelae of anesthesia when he was taken to court.

This incident led to the loss of the sanctity of the temple and the loss of a large number of believers. Dr. Bai has been sticking to his post and organized hundreds of believers to pray for Xuexian together in the temple.

Now there is finally a hope, but because of the re-intervention of "Bright Eyes", the chance to save Xuexian is lost again.

Dr. Bai blamed himself endlessly.

"I would like to apply for a water speedboat from you immediately." Dr. Bai said, "I will set off as soon as the location of Xuexian is confirmed."

Hu Disi calmly pointed out: "You know that the current technology is not enough for water speeding boats to run back and forth in the storm harbor. Even the latest batch of water speeding boats can only withstand one-way underwater pressure."

Indeed no one can pass through Stormhaven.

There are constant storms on the sea surface all year round, and there are [-]-meter-deep vortexes on the seabed. Their existence forms a natural barrier, dividing the Habitat Continent and Longyu Island into two worlds.

But Dr. Bai knows that the military has now developed a more solid water craft, but it has not yet been put into mass production...

"Xuexian is a strong child." Hu Disi squeezed Dr. Bai's shoulder, "This is the case with all the sons of the past. They shoulder the mission, have a tough mind, and will never be easily defeated by adversity. You have trained them yourself, and no one can compare You know this better. Of course it would be best if he is still alive, we just need time, and sooner or later we will save him."

"As for the believers—" Hudis paused, "Dr. Bai, I have always believed in the power of the temple, just like I believed in the previous Holy Sons. You will definitely cheer up the people soon."

This statement is quite meaningful.

The technician was puzzled, but seeing Dr. Bai startled slightly, he nodded to Colonel Hudis.

The shadow of the desk lamp cast on Dr. Bai's face, concealing his slumped expression.

Suddenly, a picture flashed on the screen on the wall.

The technician pointed at it and shouted, "Colonel! Dr. Bai—"

The three of them looked at the screen together.

It originally displayed [Detected that the signal of Shengzi Xuexian is online and connecting. 】The words are gone.

The Ghost No. 1 UAV, which had failed to keep up with the black dragon, had successfully flown to the coordinates of the Son's bracelet after several hours of flight.

After arriving at the destination, Ghost 1 turned on the camera, automatically looked for moving objects, and switched the signal source to real-time images.

At first, no one could recognize that the figure in the picture was Xue Xian.

The scruffy, burnt hair, the blood-stained clothes, the "shoes" made of unknown animal fur, and the skinny, chapped face.

He is no longer that holy and precious Son.

If it weren't for that holy attire, he would be a savage.

The Holy Son is still alive!

Dr. Bai stood up excitedly, but before everyone had time to rejoice and feel sorry for the tragic experience of the Son, they saw another terrifying figure appearing on the screen.

That's why the technician was so shocked.

That is a dragon.

The most heartbreaking creature on the infinite planet, the overlord of all fields.

In the human-dragon war a few days ago before the Chaos, human beings were almost wiped out by them.

This is the second time that Ghost 1 has sent back positive images of dragons.

The last time I shot at night, I captured a black dragon that almost blended into the night.

But this time, because it was Longyu or daytime, the pictures were taken very clearly. I believe that no one will stand up and point out that the "Mingmu" society maliciously made false videos.

The three to four meter tall monster stood in front of Xuexian, its sharp black claws firmly digging into the grass.

Its scales turned out to be silver, something humans had never seen or heard of.

The main city is brightly lit.

Although the giant screen in the temple was closed, all the residents were paying close attention to the live broadcast of Ghost 1.

Almost at the same time when the live broadcast screen switched, the believers outside the temple watching the live broadcast through private devices uttered excited and terrified shouts, and their voices almost broke through the night.

And at the other end of Infinity Star, the vicious silver dragon in the picture was also roaring at Xue Xian.

The weak and helpless Son took a step back, trembling, and opened his mouth to say something, probably begging for mercy.

The radio part of the Ghost 1 seems to be damaged, and no sound is received.

It is also possible that "bright eyes" did it deliberately so that people can see but not hear, so that they can have a richer feeling about the tragic experience of the Holy Son.

But everyone saw that the silver dragon suddenly raised its head high.

It screamed loudly, as if it would tear the boy in front of him apart in the next second.

Thousands of parents in front of the screen immediately covered their children's eyes.
