Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Battle for the Little Dragon
The buildings at Kancaris College are not densely distributed.
Although it is often trimmed behind the fifth-grade dormitory.
But it is also a bit difficult for the cubs who are still short to walk.
Mulberry flowers are connected into pieces in the dark night.
The flowers have passed their blooming time.
The head drooped listlessly, and the flashlight swept across a sea of thick green.
There are no signs of having been picked.
"That's impossible. They should have come here long ago."
Mo Yun walked with Li Mushichi.
He looked back and forth in disbelief, then looked at Xiaolong's expressionless face.
Xiaolong held the lantern and scanned the surroundings.
"Is it possible that they didn't pick them here?"
Mo Yun guessed and became dejected again.
"If only I had come along after school."
"That might cost four people."
Si Chi made a rational judgment.
"It might be a while before communication is restored. Do you want to go inside and take a look?"
"I don't know—" Mo Yun raised his hands and held his little head, "What should we do? Should we go back to the dormitory and wait? Since there is no danger."
"The teacher should be looking around as well."
Li Mu looked over.
"There are clearly adult footprints over there. A teacher must have gone there. We can follow and take a look."
Mo Yun looked up.
Li Mu's profile was calm.
But also a bit serious.
Xiaolong once lived alone outside.
A keen sense of danger.
Especially as a dragon who can use holy light magic, he always has a feeling of dislike for the darkness of today.
It is not okay to just leave it alone.
Xiaolong had such thoughts and ideas in his mind.
Something big is going to happen.
"Then go and have a look."
Si Chi looked at Xiaolong's profile, nodded slightly, and held Xiaolong's hand.
"Come on, follow me."
Si Chi is the tallest in the three-person team.
He is usually the calmest one. Although he may show an impatient expression, it seems that nothing can cause him to have huge emotional fluctuations.
All in all very reliable.
Mo Yun was just stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up.
Nod seriously.
"Okay, okay."
Until they walked into the depths.
In the distance, among the not-so-tall trees, a figure could be seen struggling in pain on the ground.
"teacher?"
The teacher they found by following the footprints was now gasping for breath, his body slightly twisted, his face hard to tell whether it was pain or ferocity, his back hunched, a leopard's long tail stretched out from behind him, sweeping back and forth restlessly, he was still holding the communicator in his hand, pressing it convulsively.
Hearing the sound, he raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and after trying hard to distinguish the three little cubs, his voice became hoarse.
"Run, run quickly, get out of here! Go find other teachers—enemy attack, it's an enemy attack."
"You're running really fast, but you're exposed to pollutants, so you probably can't keep going any longer, right?"
There were more footsteps approaching.
"Hmm? Three more little brats? They're usually quiet, so today is a coincidence. But it's rare to find such a good opportunity. If we don't hurry up, it will be troublesome."
The person who approached was wearing a colorful mask. The dark eyes behind the mask could not hide his original madness. His voice trembled slightly. There was a string of small boxes on his waist, and metal objects could be vaguely seen inside.
Li Mu felt that the thing looked familiar, but the next moment, Si Chi protected him behind him.
As the king of the Tayir tribe.
I also inquired about various things about the interstellar world before traveling.
The situations of various races, the demands and development of various organizations, the evolution process of black holes, and the impact of pollutants on the interstellar space.
These are all things that Si Chi needs to master.
As for this symbol—
"color?"
A terrorist organization that seeks to trigger evolutionary selection through black hole contamination.
"Um?"
The visitor only glanced at Si Chi.
"You little crying kid actually has some eyesight, but uncle really doesn't have time to play with you. I finally picked a night when there aren't many teachers around, but this happened."
First, he was discovered by three little cubs, who bravely followed him and caught him. It was because of the disappearance of these three cubs that the teacher started looking for him.
"What do you want to do?"
Si Chi could vaguely hear the voices of other people coming from deep in the jungle.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. Everything is ready anyway."
He seemed very relaxed at the moment, and moved sideways to make room for the person behind him.
"The method of inferring interstellar black hole formation has always been to look for black hole pollution indicators. The higher the index, the higher the spatial index, and the more pollutants will gradually accumulate, forming a black hole. Of course, according to this inference, in addition to the places where black holes are actually formed, there is a certain possibility of black holes forming at all times in the interstellar space, as long as the pollution source can be gathered."
Behind him, several guys wearing colorful masks came out, holding three little cubs that were tied up and had their mouths covered.
Saint Clare was trying to stretch out his scorpion tail, constantly trying to sting the person holding him, making angry noises.
"Of course, black holes have been forming for over a thousand years, and the technology for predicting their values has become increasingly mature. Most species can now fully predict where black holes will form and act accordingly. However, those places where the spatial index and pollution index only fluctuate, and where no black holes will form, have been gradually forgotten after the initial vigilance."
He smiled and took out the pollutants he had on him.
His eyes were also irritated by the pollutants and turned red, and his voice became more and more frantic.
"After all, no one can easily take away the pollutants and gather them together—"
In the past, Si Chi would not take these people seriously.
Even if these are adults.
But with the powerful mental strength of the Tayir royal family, it can still be easily resolved.
However, the biggest weakness of the Tayir people, who are famous for their outbursts, is undoubtedly the pollutants that trigger mental riots.
Such a distance has already made Si Chi start to tremble.
He wasn't sure if he could continue to control this body after his mental power was affected. If not, the little dragon behind him would be in danger.
"Walk."
Si Chi gently pushed Xiaolong from behind.
By this time the people of color had thrown together all the pollutants they carried to destruction.
These pollutants are dark and twisted, like liquid and gas.
There was an unpleasant and ominous feeling.
In an instant, it gathered together and even the surroundings began to distort. With the pollutants in the middle as the base, it continuously attracted the surrounding pollutants, just like a true black hole in the universe.
"And it just so happens that today the spatial index of the marginal planet Kankares has fluctuated greatly."
The colorful person tilted his head slightly, as if enjoying the feeling of his mental power being out of control due to the influence of pollutants.
"The timing, the location, and the people are all right. Furthermore, this thousand-year-old institution seems a bit numb. Hasn't it been stable for too long? Did they overestimate their security level? They even cut off their own arms and restricted communications at night—throw them in."
He turned his head coldly and looked at his subordinates who were carrying the three kids.
And a buzzing sound came from the sky.
The communicator in the teacher's hand, who was twisting himself to maintain the last bit of consciousness, lit up.
Two seconds later, the sirens rang out over the entire Kancaris College.
It was at this moment that the colored people seemed to want to appreciate the desperate cries of the cubs and removed the cloth that sealed their mouths.
The teacher who had finally sent the communication suddenly jumped up. The originally gentle teacher instantly tore through his clothes and transformed into a nimble cheetah. He swung his iron-like tail, smashing several trees with a bang. In his last crazy consciousness, he rushed towards the little leader of colors.
And fight with it.
"don't want--"
Saint Garde was finally able to speak. He looked at the pollution source that was gradually forming a black hole not far away and made a "Pah" sound. His little body kept twisting and twisting, still stubborn.
"Don't come over here, run!"
If you fall into the pollutants, you will definitely not survive.
Even the little cubs know this.
"Go! Leave us alone."
Moshi also shouted.
"Mo Yun, quickly take them away!"
"We can't do it alone... Hurry up, hurry up! Leave this planet quickly, there is still a way..."
The last cub also struggled and was thrown into the pollutants first.
Tears were overflowing, but I remained stubborn.
"I won't compromise..."
It's just such a pity.
The three little cubs said this, but they curled up in fear, tears flowing uncontrollably.
It's a pity they haven't grown up yet.
It’s a pity that only one month of school life has passed.
It’s such a pity that I haven’t had the chance to become friends with the person I’m looking forward to.
From the moment the teacher pounced on them to the moment they started fighting, it happened in a split second, without giving people much chance to react.
Too much—too much—
At the moment when those pollutants gather.
Xiaolong froze.
Even if it is a nemesis, that little bit of light power may be overwhelmed by darkness and eventually disappear completely.
This is the feeling that the accumulated pollutants give Xiaolong at this moment.
Will be swallowed up before he grows up.
But—no.
Little Li Mu rushed out quickly.
His eyes gleamed slightly, and he wanted to pull the little cub that was about to fall into the pollution source.
But he is young after all, so he is a little slower.
Si Chi, who was standing in front of him, moved the moment he noticed his reaction.
The fluctuations of his mental power made him more numb the closer he got to the source of pollution.
He looked at Xiaolong deeply with his amber eyes. The numbness in his body was no longer under his control, but his speed was still very fast. He arrived before Xielin completely fell into the pollution source and was swallowed. He could only turn over and push Xielin away.
"Walk."
Si Chi didn't like seeing Xiaolong show that kind of selfless and expectant attitude towards other people.
Just do it yourself.
This way he would feel better.
Anyway, this is just his body. At most, his mental strength is damaged and his lifespan is slightly shortened.
Perhaps this is what Rota meant - the exclusivity of friendship?
Si Chi wasn't so sure.
Oh, it seems like he really treats Xiaolong as a friend.
His body was sucked up and these colorful black hole fanatics rushed towards the black hole like crazy.
Si Chi closed his eyes.
——But after this time, he also knew that Xiaolong could make a lot of friends, and these guys were waiting to make friends with Xiaolong, and he would temporarily fall into a restorative sleep.
By then, he will be able to control his emotions and reduce this exclusivity.
The royal family of the Tayir tribe is destined to be destroyed. He can make friends, but he should not invest too much emotion in it.
Until his hand was held tightly.
"I held it!"
Si Chi opened his eyes in an instant.
Xiaolong was a step slower, but still pounced in front of him. Instead of catching the cub that Si Chi pushed out, he grabbed his arm.
"You should know the characteristics of the Tayir people. This is just a shell. Let go and wait for the teacher to deal with it. Leave here quickly."
"If it's a body, it will also affect your mental strength, right? It's very serious, I can't--"
Xiaolong grabbed his arm tightly and said seriously: "Si Chi, no, you will die too."
Si Chi froze, looking at his face.
Xiaolong's body was floating in the air, with small wings emerging from his back. Golden light flashed in his eyes, and his small wings were flapping rapidly, resisting the gravity from the pollution source, trying his best to fly in another direction.
But the little wings were too small and too fragile to carry the little dragon into flight.
Si Chi could smell the smell of blood at the tip of his nose.
"you……"
Si Chiben's childish and calm voice suddenly became dry.
"I caught it too!"
The Saint Garde Scorpion that was pushed out last by Si Chi turned its tail over and grabbed Xiaolong's feet.
Earlier, Mo Xi grabbed Saint Garde's tail.
Xie Lin landed on the ground, hugged Mo Xi's legs and pulled him back hard. After a brief moment of panic, Mo Yun also rushed over.
"I caught it, and I held it too."
"Hold on tight! Pull them out quickly--"
Mingming was so scared that his hands and feet were shaking and his voice was choked.
But not one of the cubs let go.
However, the gravitational force of pollution was not something the cub could resist, and the little dragon's light magic fell on deaf ears, without much effect. Instead, it made him feel drowsy and uncomfortable.
He couldn't use up his last bit of strength.
Li Mu thought.
But he also looked behind him in confusion.
The cubs formed a string, hugging each other with their hair straining, various features emerging, desperately trying to pull people back, but they were still approaching the source of the pollution step by step.
Why?
He and Si Chi are friends.
But Xiaolong remembers that these classmates don’t have a good relationship with him, right?
Although there was no ill will, her attitude seemed to be a bit distasteful towards him.
"It's very dangerous—"
Xiaolong said something.
Saint Clare shouted, "Are you not dangerous?"
Xie Lin: "Ahhh, hold on tight!"
Mo Xi burst into tears: "Then don't jump! I would rather be swallowed by the pollution source than let you save me——"
Mo Yun said with all his might: "Brother, if you want to be friends with you, you should say it nicely. It's because you always say unpleasant things that Li Mu ignores you. He is very gentle."
The cubs held on for half a minute, but the source of pollution continued to expand.
Finally, Mo Xi and Saint Jiade couldn't hold it in any longer.
Xiaolong only heard their slightly choked sobs.
"Yes, I want to make good friends."
"You're really awesome, can we play together next time?"
“Everyone wants to play with you.”
"Don't always go to Class 6. Everyone in Class 6 is treacherous. They'll even show off how good they are at playing with you."
Si Chi, the sinister member of Team Six: ...Hey.
"Quick! Found it!"
The alarm sounded for less than a minute.
The teachers found this place.
The cubs looked on in panic as they were attracted by the small black hole that was gradually forming.
They were about to rush over when the sky suddenly brightened.
It really looks like a light source star rising.
A stream of silver light fell from the sky.
The huge wind and waves overturned the cubs, and also blew away the colorful little leader and the teacher who was still struggling with him.
The special silver-white mecha was fitted onto the sturdy body, the silver hair was flying, the sharp blade was covered with cold light, and it struck down heavily.
The impact of mental power and special weapons caused the small black hole that was slowly gathering to fall apart in an instant.
Countless pollution sources spread out, like a black wave, rushing in all directions.
Giant silver-white dragon wings spread out behind him, and the little dragon was instantly embraced. The man turned his back to face the pollutants, protecting the cubs present.
The moment Xiaolong's eyes met Li Ming's.
"dad……"
He murmured.
I finally feel relieved.
Xiaolong's pupils opened, and the golden magic circle lit up instantly, and it separated from his eyes and enlarged in an instant.
At that moment, the light seemed brighter than the large starship that had just appeared in the sky.
Like a ripple, it spreads out the moment it appears.
Sau——
The waves seemed to stop instantly.
……What's this?
The teachers who had just received the newsletter had no time to process much information before they saw this scene.
Under the bright magic circle, the little dragon's pupils narrowed slightly, and the whole cub seemed to be glowing, with an inexplicable sacred and unattainable aura.
Just leaning closely against my father.
As the magic circle slowly dissipated, Xiaolong's consciousness gradually became blurred.
He instinctively chased after all the sources of pollution with hatred, until his power seemed to float far away and was then lightly sent back by someone or some force.
Before Xiaolong fell asleep, he heard a sound, like a lamb ringing in his ears and mind.
"Child, it's not the time yet. It's not the time we agreed on."
Who is it?
Li Mu thought this before he fell into a deep sleep.
I always feel like it's a little bit familiar.
Everything stops.
The remaining personnel of color were controlled.
"That was—a completely different way of dealing with pollution. It dissipated, the pollution dissipated... It didn't affect anything else around it. The black hole also dissipated. What about the people who were sucked in—"
"It's completely rioted and dealt with."
So—that cub.
The tall silver dragon parent held his little dragon in his arms, carefully and gently, but when he looked up again, his expression was fierce.
"Don't you think your hospital should take responsibility for this? If I hadn't been keeping an eye on our Mu Mu's situation, and if I hadn't noticed that the space index here was a bit high and I felt uneasy, I decided to wait here a day in advance to pick him up, what would have happened? I don't think I need to say more."
Eliminating black holes requires special means, which are usually controlled by the top leaders of each race. Each race will also conduct regular cleaning of the areas they are responsible for.
Kancaris College did not.
Although the news will probably be cleared up quickly once it spreads.
But with the speed at which the black hole was developing and swallowing things, and considering it was night, there were still thousands of cubs and teachers left here, and they were still very scattered.
It is impossible to complete the evacuation work in a short time. The cubs who are developing their mental strength were swallowed by the black hole and would surely die after the madness.
Even though no one would have thought that an organization would take advantage of pollutants to make a fuss.
But there is no doubt that this was a major accident.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The Academy's fifth-age class operations are suspended.
The branch principal, who oversees grades five to nine, is sweating profusely and is under investigation.
All parents were informed that they could pick up their pups at dawn, and the entire Kancaris Academy would be re-checked and investigated for further escalation.
Cubs are the hope of every race. The upper echelons of Kancaris dare not imagine how Kancaris would explain to the parents if a black hole really formed and caused casualties among the cubs.
But because of this, it is not just the various dragon clans trying to compete for the custody of the little dragon.
Many other races also began to inquire about the Silver Dragon openly or covertly.
All the cubs returned home.
This is the third day that Xiaolong has been in a coma.
The Dragon Clan Conference has already held two rounds.
The content of the meeting unknowingly shifted from dealing with the black hole to the custody of little Li Mu.
From the Blue Dragon Clan using their previous strange behavior as an excuse for Li Mu to be entrusted to them, to the Red Dragon Clan directly trying to snatch the cub.
The Silver Dragon Clan is very lively during this period.
Xiaolong woke up in the afternoon.
When he woke up, he was still a little groggy. Li Ming sat next to him, never leaving his side. Even when he was looking at documents, he would hold Xiaolong's hand.
Anxiety is visible to the naked eye.
But even so, Li Ming and Xiaolong did not communicate much.
First of all, Xiaolong doesn’t have enough physical strength yet.
Besides, he had promised his father to protect him, but he was thinking about the scene he saw Li Ming before he fell asleep.
Xiaolong himself felt a little guilty.
Not to mention that Li Ming had a gloomy face and just held him in his arms to coax him.
Since he woke up, Li Ming has never read the content of the communication again.
Then his uncle hurried in. From measuring the temperature, to carefully checking the values, to drinking some nutrient solution and seeing Xiaolong fall asleep, Li Ming was very careful in his actions.
"Dad..." Little Li Mu reached out and pulled his father's clothes, his voice was soft and tender, and the tone was very low.
"Mumu has protected herself."
These words only reminded Li Ming of the night when he excitedly dragged Li Hua to the sky above Kancaris College to pick up Xiaolong as soon as possible after class the next day. When he heard the alarm and received the report that a black hole was forming at close range, he hurried over - his own Xiaolong was shaky and about to fall into the black hole that was about to form.
"Mumu."
Li Ming interrupted Xiaolong, his expression showing a hint of patience.
He didn't want to think about it anymore.
Especially when seeing Xiaolong and all the traces of Xiao Limu's life around him.
He felt like he would go crazy if he thought about it again.
"Dad? Mumu is good..."
Little Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then tried to speak and stretched out his little hand.
"Yeah, Dad knows."
Li Ming avoided talking about the previous topic and wanted to take it easy.
And Xiaolong was also weak now, so he only touched Xiaolong's head lightly.
"Dad knows Mumu is a good boy. Go to sleep. Dad is here."
"Is Dad always here?"
Xiaolong felt a little uneasy.
"Dad is always here. When has he ever lied to you?"
Li Ming coaxed the little guy to sleep in a low voice.
He leaned against the headboard, having not slept for four nights.
He frowned tiredly.
But I still can't sleep.
It's not just the previous shock, but also the physical and mental exhaustion of dealing with those guys these days.
It wasn't until Xiaolong's data stabilized that he slowly let go of his worries and felt a little relieved.
The communicator kept ringing again.
After Xiaolong woke up, he ignored the communication. Until now, Chang Pei's messages continued, and he obviously felt a little troubled.
Li Ming finally got up, walked from the bedroom to the study, and turned on the communication device with a cold look.
Countless faces were reflected on the virtual screen.
From various dragon clans.
The Red Dragon Clan's leader was the first to smile: "We heard that the little dragon has woken up, right?"
Li Ming sneered falsely: "Let's discuss black holes. You are still very interested in my cub——"
…
Wait until Xiaolong wakes up again.
The bedside night light was on.
That was the first time Xiaolong was afraid in the dark, and from then on he always had a night light by his bed.
But Dad wasn't there.
Little Li Mu got out of bed slowly.
Follow the light.
The study door was half closed.
I could hear the discussion inside.
"Of course, we don't want to deprive you of your custody rights, but after all, you are the only dragon cub in the dragon clan in thousands of years. Wouldn't it be better for the cub to take turns living in our various dragon clans and experience it?"
"I agree. Let the dragon cub make its own choice. It can first live with the Yellow Dragon Clan. You Silver Dragons aren't the only ones who care for your cubs."
"I've been wanting to say this since I heard the news. Silver dragons are warlike and aren't the best place to raise cubs. After learning about the cubs, our Purple Dragon Clan has repeatedly asked Chief Chang Pei about them. He should know. I also agree that the cubs should be raised by multiple parents."
What?
Xiaolong opened his eyes blankly.
——Go somewhere else?
Do you want to send Mumu away?
Xiaolong stood on tiptoe to listen, but he didn't hear his father's voice. The little guy tugged at the corner of his clothes in grievance, but still tried to bear it.
——He is best at giving up and being patient.
The little guy turned around and quietly went back to the room and found a corner to nestle in.
——He won’t leave. He doesn’t want to leave. He is very useful. He wants to tell his father that he doesn’t want to leave.
Xiaolong's right eye lit up, and he hugged the clothes on the sofa and huddled into his toy corner.
With a puffed up little face.
In the study, Li Ming, who had not slept for four nights and was tense and too lazy to pay attention to these bastards, supported his chin, closed his light yellow eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
While sleeping, he seemed to have entered a very different place, and the surrounding scenery was slowly changing.
