"Let's look at the second thing." Manstein broke the silence in the room.
"Okay." Masashi Toyama reacted and quickly walked forward to the second portable safe.
Enter your password, verify your fingerprint, open the box, and pick up the package. All in one go.
Fu Nian watched quietly as a cylindrical glass bottle was brought to them by Toyama Masashi. The glass bottle was the kind used by teachers in biology classes to hold specimens. It just seemed that the material was much better than that in ordinary laboratories.
.
Chen Xiaoxiao opened his mouth wide and froze next to Fu Nian as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared intently at the lizard-like animal soaked in a light yellow formalin solution, with thin yellow and white scales and curled up slender legs.
The tail is like a fetus in the womb, the long whiskers around the mouth are slowly floating up and down in the solution, and the eyes are closed, looking as peaceful and quiet as a baby.
If it weren't for the two small membrane wings spread out on the back of the thing, it would have been mistaken for some kind of ancient lizard.
"This...is this?" Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Masashi Toyama and Manstein in surprise. "Isn't that a bottle of dragon's blood you showed us last year?"
"What we are showing you first-year students is indeed a bottle of dragon blood from the second-generation dragon species. But that thing doesn't mean much to him. The blood in his body gives him the ability and power to compete with the second-generation species.
pressure.
If our college had the blood of the ancient dragon, I would definitely apply to the college. But unfortunately, there is no trace of this thing in the archives of our college." Manstein looked at Chen Xiaoxiao and explained.
"Blood of the Ancient Dragon?" Fu Nian shifted his gaze from the glass bottle to Manstein.
"The next generation is the blood of the above dragon. It is also the first generation."
It turns out that I am called the ancient dragon by their hybrids. Fu Nian thought to himself.
"So...you guys, you took it out...!!" Chen Xiaoxiao's voice was a little excited.
"A dragon!" Manstein nodded affirmatively.
"A dragon!" Chen Xiaoxiao exclaimed.
Fu Nian stared at the little dragon in the test tube bottle thoughtfully.
"This is a red dragon cub that was discovered in India in 1796. Fortunately, this red dragon cub was probably swallowed by a giant python when it hatched. The local farmers killed the giant python.
The python got this baby from its belly." Masashi Toyama explained, "Later we made him a specimen, which is an extremely rare specimen, because humans cannot capture dragons under normal circumstances, and dragons can
Sensing the activity of human brains, it will either launch an attack before humans approach, or it will escape in advance."
"Is he dead?" Chen Xiaoxiao pressed his face against the outside of the glass bottle and looked at the incredibly delicate body texture of Xiaolong inside.
"No. He is just in a sleeping state. Dragons are difficult to kill, especially the first and second generation species with noble blood. Even if you destroy their bodies, you cannot destroy their souls. They will wake up again."
"A sleeping dragon." Chen Xiaoxiao gently stroked the glass tube,
The pale yellow antiseptic liquid, the pale red unfolded membrane wings, the goose white closed eye membranes, and the long and slender beard.
suddenly,
A hand was placed on Chen Xiaoxiao's shoulders. She turned around in surprise and saw Fu Nian's charming eyes.
"Back off a little." Fu Nian said in a calm voice.
"Why?" Although Chen Xiaoxiao said this, he still came to Fu Nian's side obediently.
"He's about to wake up." Fu Nian's voice was very low.
"What?" Manstein didn't hear Fu Nian's voice clearly.
Click!
Suddenly there was a sound of diaphragm cracking in the air,
Very crisp.
boom!
What followed was a dull bombardment sound, just like the sound made when a red wine cork is pulled out, dull and a little crisp.
Manstein immediately turned to look at the door, and then looked around, his vigilant eyes like the sharp eyes of a detective. This is the precious historical heritage of the college, the wealth that countless people have exchanged for their lives, and he does not allow any accidents.
!
But everything in the room is normal except for a little yellowish color in the air.
"Teacher Masashi Toyama, did you hear anything?"
The air was still quiet, no one responded. Even the weak breathing was undetectable.
"Masashi Toyama?" Manstein, who couldn't hear the response, quickly turned to look at Masashi Toyama on the other side.
But what he saw was a pale and bloodless face.
Masashi Toyama's pupils tightened rapidly inward like steel needles. His trembling fingers pointed in front of him in disbelief.
"Teach...Professor,"
Following Masashi Toyama's direction, Manstein suddenly froze on the spot.
The only restless breath in the air was extinguished in an instant. It was like a blazing torch being thrown into a bottomless pool, and even the echo was a luxury.
He stared intently at the red dragon cub in the glass bottle, staring at the round golden vertical eyes like a beast.
dragon,
Open your eyes!
!!
He seemed to have seen something incredible, so incredible that he couldn't believe he was still in the real world.
The dragon flapped its wings vigorously, trying not to sink into the bottom of the rich solution in the cramped and narrow space.
But his golden vertical pupils remained calm and focused, and he stretched his long and slender neck to look at the figure outside, while his tail fins swayed from side to side.
Fu Nian also looked at the awakened young dragon quietly. This dragon gave him a very well-behaved feeling. From his eyes, Fu Nian could see that he was close to him, like a stranger who was studying abroad and had not seen his hometown all year round.
Suddenly I met an older relative of my own family. The overwhelming intimacy was beyond words.
However, the hierarchy within the dragon clan is very strict. This is the gene engraved in their bones. If the elders do not speak up, they cannot move.
Just like Fu Nian and Red Dragon at this moment, Red Dragon's lower body was trying hard to flutter its wings to prevent itself from sinking into the depths of the solution, but the head above its neck stood there quietly and motionless. There was awe in its pupils.
obedience.
Fu Nian knew that any words he said at this moment would become words that this little dragon would carry out regardless of life and death.
"Hmm..." Xiaolong made the only sound when he woke up.
He is saying goodbye.
He was too weak, so weak that he could only rely on deep sleep to extend the length of his life. So weak that he needed to rely on time in exchange for a brief awakening.
The flapping of his wings became weaker and weaker, as weak and painful as a drowning person. The wings hit the glass wall heavily, and the dazzling golden vertical pupils became darker and darker. The power gradually drained away from his body, and he fell asleep.
Darkness gradually swallowed him from the bottom of the abyss.
At the last second, he was still trying to look at the figure outside the glass with awe.
