Dawn of Another World

Chapter 26

"Don't worry, your child will be fine."

Ling Xiao touched the giant beast's neck to comfort it, and the big guy seemed to understand his words completely, with joy flashing in his dark brown eyes, and he nodded to him.

Ling Xiao glanced at his side again. The black belly of the little beast curled up in a ball was rising and falling steadily and regularly.Ling Xiao felt relieved, the medicinal powder was obviously also very effective on small things.Those cut wounds are rapidly healing and scabbing, and after a while, the blood scabs should be shed immediately, and even the scars will be invisible.

At this time, the female beast turned its head and approached again, and began to puff and signal to Ling Xiao non-stop. The same concerned eyes made Ling Xiao dullly notice his own embarrassment—the original robe on his body had become It was in tatters, the clothes were torn by wind blades everywhere, and there were bloodstains on them.

Ling Xiao raised his hand, glanced at the medicine bottle in his palm again, and comforted himself with a wry smile—although it did not have the enviable miraculous effect on the Gutiva orc or the little cub in front of him, but these The pure plant medicinal materials from the earth are at least effective wound medicines, and they can relieve urgent needs.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao began to use his only movable right hand to apply medicine to the wounds all over his body.

Fortunately, they were all slender scars cut by the wind blade. They were scary to look at, but they were not so serious that they could not be handled.Gritting his teeth and applying the medicine hastily, Ling Xiao's gaze finally came to the most severely injured left shoulder - where he was completely unable to move.Ling Xiao was almost sure that his shoulder should have been injured and fractured again.

Under the quiet gaze of the giant beast, Ling Xiao took out another bottle of anti-swelling and pain-relieving ointment from the cloth bag, tore open the skirt of his clothes, and applied the medicine on it with difficulty.Immediately, he took off another cloth bag at the back of his waist, and inside were two brand new robes sewn by Brother Gail's mother.It was handed over to Ling Xiao by the bearded Gail when he was at the outpost of the Watcher.

The temple hair soaked in cold sweat stuck to his forehead, and the black braids had already been loosened. It took Ling Xiao a lot of effort to put the clean off-white robe on his body.Then, relying on the little first aid knowledge I learned when I was on earth, I barely fixed the injured shoulder and left upper arm on the chest side with the torn clothes and cloth strips just now, and then used a long cloth strip to make a simple neck. Wrist strap to suspend the forearm.

After doing all this, Ling Xiao was so tired and in pain that he was about to collapse. The clean clothes he just put on were once again soaked in a large area, and they stuck tightly to the skin of his body. His face was even paler than paper. It was a piercing pain.At the bottom of this abyss, there is no effective medical equipment, except for flat and bare rocks, not even a tree branch to fix his arm.I don't know how long the shoulder injury can last. Although the hurricane vortex that devoured the world seemed to have disappeared as if it had never happened, Ling Xiao looked up at the towering rock walls on both sides of the canyon, and still couldn't help it. The place of residence is lost.

How to go up like this.

Not to mention that his shoulder was injured, even if his hands and feet were flexible, Ling Xiao could not climb out of the abyss with his own strength. There was not even a place where he could use his strength to climb on those extremely flat, knife-cut rock walls. .Ling Xiao took another inventory of his belongings—there was no food, and the skin bag holding the water had been torn apart by the wind blade, and the clear water inside had been spilled to nowhere. He didn’t have any tools for rock climbing at hand, except the remaining Apart from the robe and a few bottles of medicine, it can be said that he has nothing on his body.

If you can't wait for foreign aid, you really can't last long like this.

Master Basil and Gigi, they should be in a hurry, right?Maybe he felt that he was bound to die.After all, falling from a terrifying height under such a terrifying natural force, even Ling Xiao himself believed at the time that this time he was definitely dead.

Ling Xiao was thinking about something in his heart. The big head of the giant beast in front of him leaned over, unwilling to be lonely, and the curved and smooth neck turned, and the sleeping cub lying on its back, Pushed towards Ling Xiao.

The amazing thing is that at this moment, Ling Xiao could almost fully understand the meaning of the giant beast. He calmed down his depression for a while, picked up the rags left while he was tearing up, squatted down, and began to rub the bloody little guy from head to toe. , Cleaned up carefully.In the process of wiping, the shriveled umbilical cord on the little guy's soft abdomen, as well as the criss-crossing blood scabs on his body, all fell off one after another.

It wasn't until it was completely cleaned up, in the gentle and proud eyes of the giant beast beside him, that Ling Xiao realized how beautiful and lovable the little thing on his knee, which was only half the length of his own arm, was.

After the originally dark body was wiped off the dirt, the layer of fine scales covering the whole body glowed with a dazzling luster like black pearls.The fat and short limbs are facing the sky, hugging the palms that Ling Xiao wiped, and they look like they are chubby and easy to pinch. The fleshy wings were shaking with the ups and downs of the body.The little guy seemed to be sleeping very soundly, his eyes were closed tightly on his small round head, and there were four dark green bifurcated round horns behind his head, and at this moment there was a faint halo——

Wait, horns? !

Between the lightning and the flint, Ling Xiao's heart has been lingering, and the indescribable sense of familiarity finally got the answer.

There was a record in "Terra Continent Notes"-under Liti and Bairutan, the inhabitants of the sky of Terra had a strong body covered with scales, and with huge wings stretched out, they could walk against the strong wind; Singing with its neck high, its whistling sound spreads far and wide.The female has no horns and is pregnant with dragon balls; the male has horns, with four branches, and the brilliance flows.The god's favorite pet comes from an ancient auspicious beast named Plains.

Plains, that is, the meaning of the flyer and the dragon.

"You, you are... 'Plains'?"

He was so nervous that his voice stuttered a little, and he hugged the little thing who was still sleeping soundly on his lap. At this moment, Ling Xiao felt that his question was really stupid!If this monstrous creature and its offspring were not dragons, what other creatures were they?All of their characteristics are in line with the description of the Plains family in the records of ancient books.

He has a gentle temperament and is good at communicating with people. He has an oval head, a long, powerful and graceful neck, strong limbs, a long tail, and the pair of huge fleshy wings on his back and scales covering the whole body, and most importantly, Features - The head of this little guy on Ling Xiao's knee, and the four forked, slightly glowing horns, all show that they come from ancient noble blood.

"hold head high--"

As if the impact on Ling Xiao was not strong enough, the black dragon let out a long and clear roar, solemnly proving its status as the king of the air indisputably.

After the Great Destruction, all these creatures that galloped and soared into the sky suddenly disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Thousands of years have passed, and the humans of Terra once thought that these ancient behemoths had disappeared.In the constant change of time, like all the splendor and glory of the past, the reality is gradually stripped away, and the remains of those fictional and faded fantasies are still sung in various versions of legends and poems in this continent.

But now, the giant dragon that has been repeatedly portrayed in various legends has appeared in front of Ling Xiao alive.Since they were not extinct, what was the reason for these giant beasts to disappear from Terra?

At this moment, Ling Xiao suddenly remembered that the Eye of Thales, where he is currently located, is located above the hill of ruins where three ancient rivers meet.And in a remnant book describing the geography of Terra before the Great Destruction, he had seen a few simple descriptions about the ruined hill of the Saofeng Plain.

This alluvial slope land thousands of years ago is not called the hill of relics.It has several names that Ling Xiao didn't understand at first, but now it is somewhat clear-this fertile area where three rivers converge and once flourished. There used to be Dragon's Breath Hill, Dragon's Sleeping Land, Dragon's Nest, etc. , another name that is inseparable from the dragon.

"hold head high--"

The black giant dragon in front of him seemed to be impatient with Ling Xiao's continued frowning and deep thinking. It let out a loud and high-pitched dragon chant again, then turned its head back, and hung down in front of Ling Xiao, beckoning him with warm eyes.

"Hmm... is that so?"

Although a little confused, Ling Xiao carefully put down the dragon cub in his arms. He stood up and approached the dragon, stretched out his palm, and slowly put it on the huge head of the black dragon approaching——

"Hello, child from afar, my name is Anas."

A soft and warm voice was clearly transmitted from Ling Xiao's palm on the dragon's head to his mind.His eyes widened in surprise, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

"Hehe, don't be surprised, I just temporarily established a spiritual connection with you."

Seeing Ling Xiao's stunned look, the giant dragon named Anas gave a knowing laugh.The vast and distant voice no longer needs to touch each other, and it can be clearly transmitted into Ling Xiao's mind.Looking at Ling Xiao with those big gentle eyes, trying to calm down his nervousness, the dragon continued to speak——

"I heard the doubts and anxiety in your heart, child. The Plains family doesn't often communicate with people like this, but I rescued you from the black storm, and you used that wonderful medicine to save my life." My child, maybe everything is guided by the true god Thales.”

"You, hello, Anas." Letting out his breath, Ling Xiao tried to regain his composure, his light green eyes blinked, trying to put away the astonishment in it as much as possible, Ling Xiao realized his blunt and blatant attitude It was really rude, and I quickly thanked the friendly dragon: "Please forgive me for my rudeness. Well, my name is Ling Xiao, thank you very much for saving me, Anas."

"Ling Xiao."

"Yes, Anas." Nodding, Ling Xiao smiled.

Falling down to the bottom of this uninhabited abyss, it is always a joy to meet a creature that communicates unimpeded.For a moment, Ling Xiao ignored the pain in his shoulder and the hopeless living situation at the moment, and he began to concentrate on 'talking' to the beautiful and elegant black dragon opposite.

"Five days ago at night, a loud noise woke me up from deep sleep in the ground of Dragon's Breath Hill."

Ling Xiao, who was listening to Ana Si's story, was slightly taken aback—didn't the words five days ago happen to be when Thales' Wind Eye opened?At that time, there was indeed a terrible loud noise in the sky in the middle of the night, and the name 'Dragon's Breath Hill' was called a thousand years ago...

"The inhabitants of Terra, do you now call this ominous thing 'The Eye of Thales'?"

There was no need for Ling Xiao to bother to speak, the giant dragon Anas raised her head high, and looked at the vortex of white light that reappeared above the canyon after the storm had passed.After a while, the pair of dark brown eyes that could see through Ling Xiao's heart, stared at him again, seemed a little sad, and continued to narrate: "It turns out that thousands of years have passed..."

Thousands of years ago, the Great Destruction fell on Terra.

In the catastrophe that lasted for seven days and the world was ashamed, except for the dead compatriots, the remaining Plains family lost their power and fell into an endless sleep.

"My child was already conceived in my body."

"The giant dragon family has been struggling to give birth since ancient times. In such a situation of losing strength, I was unable to give birth to him at that time. In the end, I couldn't do it. I could only go back to the crypt of the Dragon's Breath Hill. In the deep sleep day after day, I slowly accumulate strength... Oh, his name is Adonis, you can call him Yani."

The black dragon Anasi looked at the little dragon on his back who had awakened at some point, with loving eyes, and at the same time did not forget to add to Ling Xiao: "He likes you very much."

That little guy with a round head and a round head, drooping little wings, who can't even fly, is rolling and crawling at the moment, circling around Ling Xiao's feet, rubbing his fat limbs and trying to hit him Climbing, that naive appearance really makes people laugh.So Ling Xiao sat down again, stretched out his right hand, and hugged the little guy to his knee with a smile, "Hello, Yani."

"Guji——" spit out a mouth bubble happily, without the elegant and noble image of his mother, the little thing pouted his belly, and began to gnaw happily while hugging his fat and short tail. You can't see the scarred and dying appearance just now.

"The resilience of the giant dragon ranks first among all creatures in Terra. Unless they are fatally injured, the Plains family can live for a long time without accident."

Patiently explaining to Ling Xiao, the female dragon Anas raised her head again, and looked at the Eye of Thales, who always kept a strange distance and was inaccessible——

"Is this ominous thing awakening me from my slumber?" After a pause, as if instinctively rejecting Thales' eyes, Anas narrated to Ling Xiao again: "I am in the crypt I was awakened, and when I came out, I found that I was in a strange and lonely mountain. I had been flying for several days, but the 'Eye of Thales' still couldn't get close, and finally I had to return to the original point."

"At that time, I was resting on the top of a mountain, and under the ominous vortex of white light, I saw a twisted thin black line formed."

Immediately afterwards, the volume of the black line rapidly expanded and became larger and larger. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a gigantic dark whirlwind, which swallowed the entire light group inside. The momentum was really astonishing.

As if he wanted to drag everything he went into the deep darkness, the sky and the earth began to be dark, and those low and heavy clouds were all sucked into the whirlwind like bait, and then there were mountain peaks one after another. The cliffs disappeared into the entire darkness at a speed clearly discernible to the naked eye.

"Even as a member of the Plains family, I have never seen such a violent hurricane. Groups of strange-looking two-headed birds fled before my eyes. When I was about to leave, the child in my belly couldn't wait Wanting to be born early, my strength has not yet fully recovered, Adonis really shouldn't have come to this world so early."

The mother dragon's kind eyes looked at her child lovingly, and when she saw the little boy fell asleep on Ling Xiao's lap again, her eyes gradually became firmer, as if she had made some important decision.

"Ling Xiao, the color of your soul is very beautiful, so I can rest assured."

"Please be sure to agree to my entreaty!"

Ling Xiao stood up hastily. He had been listening to the process of the formation and development of the black cyclone, but the black dragon in front of him, who had always been gentle and courteous, suddenly made such a serious matter and asked him in a solemn tone. , Ling Xiao couldn't help being a little flustered, he waved his hands and said repeatedly: "Anasi, you saved my life. As long as it doesn't violate my conscience, I can do anything, please feel free to speak."

"Good boy."
