Dragon God, immortal

For example, the face of the kumquat in front of me has gradually changed from human to cat-like. There are whiskers growing on both sides of the lips on both sides of the nose. It has both human ears and cat ears. It has four channels...

The pupils are vertical like those of a cat, and they will expand into a circle when nervous...

The torso is the same as that of a human, but the hands have cat paws covered with fur from the elbows downwards, and the lower limbs extend downwards from the skin outside the pelvis to furry cat feet...

There is a controllable cat tail, the nails on both hands and feet can be folded and extended when needed, and there are fleshy pads on the fingertips and palms...

It is worth mentioning the feet. Compared with humans, cats' feet are like walking on tiptoes. Since the forefoot needs to support the weight of the entire person, the forefoot is very large, and each foot is as big as a human face!

But the cat's hind feet are a little different. The big toe has not completely degenerated, but is slightly backward, and there is also a fleshy pad at the heel similar to the ball of the hand!

The hind feet of the Cat-Eared Tribe are very similar to those of the Cat-Paw Islands.

That is, like the front feet of cats.

"Oh, sorry, this is my first time seeing the Beast-Eared Tribe, and I'm fascinated by them." Shushan realized that he had been staring at the other party for more than a minute, so he nodded apologetically...but the other party was on his back, so it was a little difficult to nod.

"I'm the one who should apologize!" Jinju quickly squatted down and bowed, which seemed to be the common way of saluting among the Beast-eared Tribe. "Please forgive us for stealing your food! And for standing on your back!"

"Don't worry about it. I no longer manage this land. My residence is on 'Togenku Island' south of here. There's no need to apologize." Shushan smiled kindly.

"Well... thank you very much. Although it may be a bit rude of me to ask after I have done the work... can we pick some food from this field?" The Kumquat Cat asked while sitting and bowing.

"Okay, I agree." Shushan nodded, still looking closely at the cat-man in front of him.

Now many years have passed.

Shushan hasn't recovered yet...

Maybe in another ten years or so he would be able to accept the fact that the dark cloud had passed, but now, his mood was still not very good.

In order to relieve his emotions, he used the large island under his feet as the center and caused "ground convergence" around it to create an artificial underwater mountain, making it protrude from the sea surface and become an island.

This way, a pattern of a cat's paw pad can be seen when looking from above.

This pattern is a one-to-one replica of the dark cloud's claws.

A pattern of the same proportion is also on the statue of Wuyun. The statue's right front paw is made of pink diamonds made by Shushan using magic. If these diamonds were thrown into the previous life, they could probably be sold for a good price, right?

But Shushan is not short of money. If possible, he hopes Wuyun can stay with him for a few more years.

Unfortunately, time is more valuable than gold...

"Well, there's the open space in the east. We... I took the initiative to let my people stay there to rest and recuperate. Please forgive me for that..." Jinju swallowed and said. The huge dragon in front of him was easier to talk to than he had imagined.

"Oh, so in that case, you have seen the dark cloud? It's cute, right? It's a pity that it left some time ago... well, maybe a few years ago? About five years ago." Shushan said slowly. Given his body size, his voice inevitably sounded low and slow.

"Yes, His Excellency the Watcher is extremely powerful!" Jinju said affirmatively. The Beast-ear Tribe has a tradition of worshiping their ancestors. Although Black Panther is not an existence like an ancestor, the title of 'Watcher' explains a lot and is worthy of respect.

"Watchman? Haha, yes, the watchman of the cornfield. It was a big cat that helped me protect the fields..." Shushan laughed softly. The dark cloud helped him drive away many harmful birds that were not afraid of the dragon's might, so it deserves the title of "watchman".

"Protecting the fields..."

Kumquat raised his eyes slightly.

Looking out at the land not far away.

The land in front of us is overgrown with weeds, but it cannot cover up the fertile soil underneath. Any living creature that has come into contact with the land can understand the "kindness" of this land.

The one who guards this field is Lord Wuyun. I think he is the capable subordinate of the giant dragon in front of him...

"By the way, you just mentioned your people?" Shushan continued, "Apart from you, are there other beast-eared people coming to this island?"

"Yes, we drifted on the sea for more than two months, and our food and fresh water were completely exhausted. Finally, we encountered a shipwreck and rashly landed on the island..." Jinju said stiffly.

"Shipwreck, um..." Shushan thought of his magic. The impact of undersea earthquakes on the marine ecology is quite large... He was partly responsible for the cat-eared tribe encountering a shipwreck.

"There are a total of 160 of us. I just came here with eight hunters and picked some... the kind of fruits that are golden when peeled, and took them back to feed the critically ill children..." Jinju said this, emphasizing the words 'critically ill' and 'children', and hoped that the giant dragon in front of him would have sympathy for them.

"How much corn can eight people bring? It's definitely not enough for more than 160 people." Shushan naturally had empathy. He slowly stood up and walked towards the old nest. "I still have stored seeds in my cellar. Although they are a bit old, they are still edible."

As he spoke, Shushan walked into the forest road... Jinju stood on his back tremblingly. Although the road was quite stable, Jinju's two paws were still nervously pinching the weeds, for fear of falling...

Shushan didn't have so many concerns, as this was the path he had paved.

Your own path will naturally become familiar to you.

The cat-eared people were the first intelligent creatures he had ever seen in his life. If possible, he wanted to communicate with them.

If possible... he also wanted to ask for information from across the sea, whether there were any clues about his younger brother and sister...

He knew that he was the eldest son of the Four Dragon Gods, so he was very concerned about the current situation of the other three. He didn't know whether they had hatched. If they had already been born, what kind of living environment were they in...

As an earth dragon god, Shushan can support himself with his own abilities and never goes hungry for a day.

If my brothers and sisters are hungry...

Is he able to provide support now?

Although the Dragon Gods will not die of hunger, it is definitely not a pleasant feeling to be hungry! Apart from anything else, Shushan’s ability is definitely enough to feed four Dragon Gods!

How much food does Shushan have stored?

He himself can't remember clearly.

After he created the Cat's Paw Islands, he moved to the southernmost island because it was close to the equator and had a basin-like island with fresh water in the center. The warm climate was very suitable for the growth of Type 3 corn, so he reclaimed more than a hundred acres of land.

For Shushan, crossing the sea is no longer a problem. He is not afraid of the ocean at all as he can walk on the sea surface. However... the largest and central Palm Ball Island is still a bit far away.

Therefore, he was unable to take care of the more than 60 acres of land he had reclaimed on Zhangqiu Island and had no choice but to abandon it.

As for the occasional naturally grown corn, well, Tree Hill didn't leave it for the pest birds to eat.

He would dry the corn and store it.

Stored in the cellar of the old lair.

Then... occasionally, he would indulge himself in eating 'refined grain', which was not the whole corn plant, but only the corn kernels ground into large pancakes!

Considering that Shushan can digest corn stalks and corn cobs, this kind of meal is actually quite a luxury... Corn kernels only account for a small part of the whole plant...

Shaking his head, Shushan's thoughts returned to the present.

He was walking back to the nest with Kumquat on his back.

He saw a group of frightened cat-eared people from afar, which made him feel like... passing by a gathering of wild cats and wanting to reach out and touch them, but the group of wild cats would scatter in the next second...?

But this is also normal. As its name suggests, the Tree Mountain Dragon is like a moving hillside when it stands up and moves. All creatures feel fear from the bottom of their hearts compared to its huge existence...

"Ah... that kumquat." Shushan turned his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid I would scare people to death if I went there. Just tell your people that there is plenty of food in the cellar and you can use it as you like..."

Jinju was surprised when he heard this, and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Lord Dragon!"

"I have opened the cellar door, you can see it when you go over." Shushan sighed and used magic to open the stone door.

"Thank you very much..."

"I'll just watch from here..."

"Well...that...may I ask how should I address you, sir?" Jinju asked stiffly.

"Eh? Well, my full name is 'Dragon God of the Land of Trees and Mountains'. If I use the form of surname and given name, it would be 'Dragon God Shushan', or you can just call me Shushan." Dragon God Shushan tilted his head and thought.

"I understand. Thank you for your generosity, Lord Shushan! The Sanhua tribe will always remember your kindness! My people and I will repay you in the future!" Jinju's happy tail bent into a question mark, and he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

Afterwards, Shushan put down his tail and let Jinju climb off him... Well, the movements of this guy climbing on his back are actually quite similar to Wuyun...

Oh no, oh no, the scene brings back sad memories.

Shushan shook his head.

He sat on the ground as a cat and watched Jinju walk into the old nest, then swung his tail and ears, telling about his encounter with the giant dragon... Due to the distance, Shushan could only hear the sound but not the thoughts, so he could not understand what the other party was saying.

Come to think of it, Shushan had never used his communication ability before, because he had never encountered an intelligent race before, so he had never developed related magic...

"Oh my, what a group of lively little kittens!" Shushan looked into the distance. He was about 30 to 40 meters tall when he squatted down. From this angle, he could clearly see the scene inside the old nest. "It should be okay to let them roam here, right? These cat-eared people seem to be quite strong."

Shushan sighed. He adopted Wuyun because the big cat had lost most of its hunting ability and would die sooner or later if he didn't keep it.

But the cat-eared people are different.

Can it survive if left here alone?

Or rather, it would be bad if they were too restrained? As long as they didn't make too much noise, Shushan would welcome new neighbors.

However, after watching from a distance for a while, Shushan's face darkened... These guys don't know corn at all?! They are totally at a loss when facing those dry corn kernels! Haven't they ever handled grains?

And they only had one pot! Just that big of a pot! They wanted to cook for more than a hundred people with just this thing? Oh my god, how did they survive the sea? Was it all thanks to God?!

Frowning Tree Hill…

Slowly walking towards the old nest...

There was no other way. He didn't want to disturb these kittens, but these guys had reached the point where they needed care. Now that he saw them, he couldn't just ignore them!

Shushan came to the open space in the nest. All the cat-eared people looked alert. From their blown-up hair and feather-duster-like tails, it could be seen that they were very nervous.

Shushan raised his paw and tried to put them at ease with words: "No need to be polite."

Don't be polite! Haven't spoken for a long time?

If you can't speak, don't speak!

Shushan complained about himself in his heart...

I haven't communicated with anyone for a long time...

He spoke the dragon language instinctively, and subconsciously chose a condescending word - although he was indeed condescending on a physical level - but his original intention was just to comfort these little kittens!

"I am the local lord, Dragon God Shushan. The food in front of you is called 'corn', which is a kind of grain... Oh, let me do it..." Shushan gave up and spoke in a majestic tone according to the instinct of dragon language...

Well, his voice is deep and heavy for a human-sized creature, so it's totally fine to say that it's full of majesty...

And what he is about to do next is also full of majesty!

A Brief History of the Cat's Paw Islands:

In the twenty-fifth year of the Dragon God calendar, the Dragon God descended to Shushan and bestowed upon his people the sacred steamed bread, corn cakes, popcorn, and golden soup...

In addition, this book comes with an attachment: "Corn, an Illustrated Guide to the Whole Process from Seed to Table".

Chapter 8 Orange Cat, Female

Want to eat?

Very simple.

First of all, you need to know magic~

Shushan used the [Magic of Aggregating Mud and Sand] to make two large stone mills. He then put the cleaned corn kernels into them, added clean water, and used the power of dragon (physics) to grind them into powder. He then introduced it into a stone jar for later use.

Jinju looked up and watched Shushan working with her mouth open. She knew about stone mills, but this was the first time she had seen one this big!

"Help me knock the corn kernels off these cobs, yes, and then throw them into the pool." Shushan directed the older cat-eared tribe to work, and Kumquat came to help, wagging his tail.

The grinding didn't take much time.

Just about an hour or two.

While waiting for the slurry to settle, Shushan used magic to remove the sand and gravel scattered inside, still using the above-mentioned magic... Compared with organic matter, things like mud and sand are easier to control with magic.

As long as you master the power of induction, you can accurately separate the required substances or remove unnecessary substances. Of course, this is a very advanced magical skill.

Similarly, casting [Magic of Attracting All Things] on the slurry in the stone jar to evenly increase gravity can speed up sedimentation! Yes, this is also a very advanced magic technique!

After the slurry has settled, the supernatant is poured out and discarded, and what remains is cornmeal, which, as a crude processed product, can now be eaten.

As for the production of corn starch and corn oil, that is another operation...There is a large group of people waiting to eat right now.

Then, using magic...

That’s right, it’s [Gathering Mud and Sand Magic]…

Shushan made a XXXXXXXXL version of a frying pan, then took out the dried mutton fat stored in the cellar and squeezed out the animal oil inside. Although mutton fat would have a bit of a smell, there was no substitute at the moment!

There is actually a considerable amount of air-dried mutton in this cellar. Even after the dark clouds left, Shushan still hunted sheep at a frequency of one every season and made them into ham or smoked mutton.

Although he does not eat, he will place it in front of the statue for a while at the beginning of each season.

It’s not that the soul of the dark cloud will come back, I just miss it.

I have stockpiled a lot of dried meat and air-dried mutton fat now.

However, now it has found its place.
