Gate of the Cross

Chapter 377 Dragon of Silence

"You have a way, what's the way?"

Misaka Mikoto was aroused by Xinjie's words and asked.

Xinjie raised his head and looked at the crater in the distance. At this moment, it was still calm, but no one could say whether it would suddenly erupt in silence the next moment.

"Come out."

With the call of Xinjie, a huge silver pterosaur appeared in front of Xinjie and Misaka Mikoto out of thin air.

"This...this is..."

Even Mikoto Misaka was shocked after seeing such a magnificent silver pterosaur. After all, for her, creatures like dragons only appear in mythology.

"This was given to me by Mr. Disol."

Xinjie turned his head to look at his pet, let the silver pterosaur bow down its pure body, and then took the ride to look at Misaka Mikoto: "Come up, Misaka."

"Ah! This..."

Thinking of riding the same silver pterosaur with Xinjie, Mikoto Misaka began to hesitate.

"What's wrong?" Xinjieqi said, "Although the pterosaur is not a purebred dragon, it flies very fast and is close to the real dragon. We can ride it to the crater soon."

"Uh...okay, okay."

Misaka Mikoto lowered her head, jumped on the back of the pterosaur, and sat behind Xinjie.

"Hatch up, we're leaving!"

Xinjie said and gently patted the silver pterosaur under him, "Let's go to the crater."

The pterosaur is also a dragon clan. Although it can't speak, it also has extremely high wisdom and can understand Xinjie's words. It raised its head and chanted straight to the sky and flew towards the volcano.

"Ah!"

Misaka Mikoto originally maintained the young lady's sitting posture and tried not to come into contact with Xinjie, but as soon as the pterosaur suddenly accelerated, her body couldn't help leaning back and quickly hugged Xinjie's waist.

Xinjie suddenly felt a warm and soft body sticking to his back, and a pair of slender but powerful arms tightly around his waist. He was slightly stunned, and then realized that this was Misaka Mikoto. He couldn't help smiling. After all, he was still a girl, and it was normal to be afraid.

He didn't think much about it, but Misaka Mikoto was so ashamed that she couldn't say a word, and her face turned red to her ears. She had never had such close contact with any of the opposite sex. Somehow, her hope emerged in her heart that "the hero who can come to me whenever I need it". Thinking of this, she secretly raised her head. Although she could only see Xinjie's back, she somehow gave her a sense of security.

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto was originally holding Xinjie's hands quietly and tightened.

After the initial sudden acceleration stage, the flight speed of the silver pterosaur also stabilized, and Misaka Mikoto also had the opportunity to start overlooking the scenery.

I saw that they were surrounded by white clouds. Although they were high in the sky, they did not feel cold at all. Perhaps because they were getting closer to the volcano, Misaka Mikoto felt that it was getting hotter and hotter.

It seems very good to hold Xinjie on his back and fly in the sky with a dragon in his hands.

The silver pterosaur is indeed very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the top of Benicas Volcano. Silver pterosaur slowly slowed down and finally stopped on a flat ground near the crater.

"We're here."

Xinjie felt that Misaka Mikoto was still holding him, so he said to her.

"What? So fast?" Misaka still had some aftertaste of the feeling just now, and she couldn't help blurt out for a moment.

"Ah?"

Isn't it good to be fast? Didn't you worry about how to get here faster just now? Why is it too fast now? Xinjie complained in his heart.

"Nothing."

Misaka Mikoto also knew that she had lost her words and quickly let go and jumped directly from the back of the silver pterosaur. Unexpectedly, her legs were soft and almost fell down. Fortunately, Xinjie, who jumped down immediately saw that the situation was wrong and directly supported her.

"What's wrong?"

Xinjie asked with concern.

"It's okay." Mikoto Misaka turned her head with some modesty.

"It seems that the ground just shook." Xinjie looked at the crater not far away, "Huh? What is that?"

As he always had good eyes, he immediately found something strange and hurried over there.

"Be careful!"

Mikoto Misaka was worried about Xinjie's loss. After all, this is a crater. If the volcano suddenly erupts, it would be very dangerous, so she rushed there.

"This is..."

At the edge of the cliff of the crater, there is a piece of clothing hanging there.

Xinjie looked down, only the scorching steam, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"It seems that someone has fallen from here."

Misaka Mikoto also saw the fragment of this corner of the dress and guessed.

"Not bad," Xinjie nodded and said solemnly, "It's likely that he was pushed down."

"What?" Mikoto Misaka didn't expect Xinjie to say that.

"Anyway, be careful. Let's retreat first."

"Hmm."

Although I don't know how Xinjie judged that this person was pushed down by others, when he saw Xinjie's solemn eyes, Misaka Mikoto nodded and followed him back two steps, just then...

"Bad!"

Without warning, the rock under Xinjie's feet suddenly burst. Xinjie had no time to react, and his whole body immediately fell directly into the crater.

"Xinjie!"

Misaka Mikoto did not hesitate at all. She, who had retreated, rushed straight forward and grabbed Xinjie's hand to pull him back.

It's just a person's strength to fall. Although Misaka Mikoto has the strength of Level5, he was also followed by Xinjie, and both of them fell directly into the crater.

I don't know how long it took for Xinjie to be called up by A Xiafu's voice.

"Jay! Get up! Get up!"

"Where is this..."

He shook his head, only to find that Mikoto Misaka pressed on his body and reached out to explore. Fortunately, the breath of life was sufficient, and he did not seem to be seriously injured.

"Strange, I'm fine when I fall from such a high place?"

Xinjie asked Ashif, but she didn't know why it was like this.

Seeing that Mikoto Misaka had not woken up, Xinjie couldn't help but be a little moved. Originally, Mikoto Misaka had retreated, but she fell down with herself in order to save herself, which can be said to be completely implicated by herself.

"Misaka! Misaka!"

"Well, let me sleep a little longer, just a little..."

Hearing Misaka Mikoto's lazy voice, Xinjie was speechless.

"This is...ah!"

Misaka Mikoto opened her eyes sleepily and found herself lying on Xinjie and jumped up quickly.

"This should be the lowest layer of the volcano."

Xinjie didn't notice Mikoto Misaka's expression. Her face had turned red, and even began to steam on her head.

"We both fell down. Fortunately, Ashaf woke me up and had to find a way to get out of here."

"Hmm, hmm!"

Misaka Mikoto agreed repeatedly.

Although he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Xinjie didn't think much about it, but searched nearby.

"Jay, I feel that there is a strong breath of life in that direction, which is probably the dragon they said!"

A Xiafu's words made Xinjie feel hope. Looking at Misaka Mikoto, who was still in place, Xinjie frowned. At this time, he was still thinking about something, so he directly pulled her, "Let's go!"

"Hey..."

Misaka Mikoto was pulled away by Xinjie, and soon the two arrived at the place where Ashafu guided Xinjie.

"Oh my God...this is..."

Misaka Mikoto stopped with Xinjie and looked at the huge creature in front of him. Although she had seen Xinjie's pet silver pterosaur before, she still covered her mouth in surprise.

"Dragon of Silence - Noli."

A smile appeared on Xinjie's face, which finally let me find you. Because he has seen the real dragon clan in the Liuyao Tower, he is very familiar with this breath.

It's just that what makes Xinjie a little strange is that Silent Longnuo looked at him and Misaka Mikoto with dark eyes, looking very painful.

Just as Xinjie was about to speak, a voice came from behind them:

"It hurts... What on earth are they going to do... I'm sorry, can you help?"

Shinjie and Mikoto Misaka both turned their heads and saw a person lying on the ground, struggling to sit up.

The two looked at each other, and Xinjie guessed that he might be the person who was pushed down the crater, so he came forward to help him and sit down against a stone. What surprised Xinjie was that although it was the bottom of the volcano, the temperature was not as high as that of the crater, and there was no problem even if he sat on the ground.

"Thank you, I'm Semel, a pharmacist."

The man who was helped by Xinjie began to talk about the cause and effect of the incident: "Because I need to see Noli, the owner of this volcano, I went to the people of Elkasi to lead the way, but I was pushed down the crater."

"Are you Carlim's brother? Are you really pushed down?" Mikoto Misaka didn't expect that this person was the brother of the pharmacist she had met, and she didn't expect that he was indeed pushed down as Xinjie said.

Hearing Mikoto Misaka's words, Semel's eyes lit up, "It seems that you have seen my brother?" Then he sighed and nodded and said, "The people of the Elkasi group are all descendants of the Elkadia Empire. They dress up as people who have been deceived by them. They have cheated scales from Noli many times and sold them at a high price.

But I didn't die and was saved by Noli. At this time, Elkath dressed up as me and wanted to get the scales from Nori again. At this time, Noli understood everything. Knowing that he was cheated, Noli attacked Elkasi, but unfortunately he was cursed.

If it goes on like this, Noley may die. We have to find a way to help Nori detoxify.

After listening to Selim's words, Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the matter was so complicated. No wonder Noli seemed to be in pain just now.

I heard him continue to say:

"... detoxification needs to grow the century-old grass that needs to grow on the top of the volcano, and then be processed with the ancient medicine handed down from generation to generation in my family, but my things have been robbed by Elkasi. Can this passer-by help Noli? If you are also a descendant of the empire, you will also need Noli's help, please! Please bring 100-year-old grass and ancient medicine.
