2962 The Obsession 2 (1/2)

A sudden realization struck. The pink candle dragon looked at Di Hao with its curious, big round eyes. ”Hey, you are still alive!?”

Di Hao did not quite get the hint.

With clenched fists, he asked sternly, ”Should I be dead?”

The pink candle dragon gave him an honest nod. ”To be frank with you, I tried to save many lives before, but all of them ended up suffocating to death underground.”

Surprised, Di Hao felt lucky that he knew about Ground Drilling too. Otherwise, his life would be dependent on the irresponsible candle dragon.

He found a place to sit and got comfortable. ”Come. Tell me more about your life in the desert, be as detailed as possible.”

The pink candle dragon had no restrictions on privacy. It told Di Hao everything that he wanted to know.

The candle dragon had been living in the desert for more than thousands, or even tens of thousands of years by now. It had been in existence for a very long time. The desert was originally only a small piece of barren land that was a few hundred miles wide. It could easily run from one end to another. The desolate area used to be covered with a little vegetation back in the day; at least there used to be some greens in a wide canvas of yellow. The sun was much less scorching as well as it rose from the east and set in the west.

However, the emergence of the lady had brought about great changes to the place.

As far as the candle dragon recalled, the sky was only a little gloomy the first time she showed up. The sun was not entirely obscured behind the thin, dark clouds as it was now. The lady was obviously afraid of the cold, so she opened up her arms to get as much sun as possible.

It was very rare for the candle dragon to meet anyone in this empty land, so it was excited the first time she showed up. It raced towards the stranger for a brief chat, but she soon disappeared before it got close enough.
