Dragon God, immortal

"...There are forty sheep in total, and if we divide them among one hundred and sixty people...hmm, isn't that a bit too much?" Shushan looked down at the young children of the Cat-Eared Tribe.

They probably can't eat half their own body weight in meat, right? But it's already in the pot... are we asking them to eat leftover food...

"Wow, so much meat..."

“Are they all for us to eat?”

"He's so big, I can't even see his nose when I raise my head..."

"Keep your voice down! He is the lord here!"

"Is this the dragon? Can I ask him for a nail?"

"I want scales!"

"I'm so hungry. It smells so good. I'm so hungry..."

"What do I need to eat to grow so tall..."

The cat-eared cubs whispered.

Their voices are small.

But when Shushan communicates with people, he doesn't need to hear the sounds clearly, he just needs to understand what they mean.

I'm really sorry that I'm so big, but it's because of my big size that I can provide you with shade, otherwise you'll be burned to death by the sun... Also, as long as you have a balanced diet and are not picky about food, you can still grow this tall even if you're a vegetarian...

Shushan was mumbling something in his mind, but his hands were moving quickly... He just needed to spread a thin layer of cornmeal on the oiled frying pan... and the cornmeal was ready!

Of course, the word "thin" is relative to the tree. In fact, this layer of corn cake is about one centimeter thick.

After being cut into pieces, they were distributed to the cat-ear tribe, and they became big pieces of cake that they could not finish.

In the end, the cat-ear tribe's meal today was dried meat stew and corn cakes.

The after-meal snack was popcorn.

Mmm, popcorn…

Magic, stone pot, sealed, heated, there is nothing much to say. As long as you know magic, you will never starve anywhere.

The popping sound was very scary, and even made half of the cat-ear tribe jump in fear, but the popcorn that popped out was very beautiful, and even a cat-ear tribe member as old as Sanhua’s grandmother could eat it - as long as they didn’t eat the husk!

"If you're not in a hurry, you can also try making steamed bread and golden soup..." Shushan said with his head down after he had extinguished the fire, "but the former requires utensils for steaming and cooking, and the latter requires refined corn products...so let's talk about it later."

"Ah! What is Wowotou?"

“This popcorn is delicious…”

“What a big piece of cake!”

"What did the Lord say just now..."

Shushan was speechless, because the cat-eared tribe let the cubs eat first, so what he said just now was just showing off to the child... The child's cognitive ability was unable to understand the thoughts in his words, so he did not translate it...

No, if the other party doesn't have a similar concept, it would be quite troublesome to translate... Communication is so difficult...

Shaking his head, Shushan stretched out his claws and tapped the ground. More than a hundred pieces of mud floated up and turned into small bowls and spoons under the effect of magic.

Well, small is relative to the tree mountain.

For young children of the cat-ear tribe.

It’s a bowl as big as a washbasin!

With tableware, sharing food became much easier. The scene was a bit messy, but under the command of Kumquat and Lao Sanhua, it was still orderly.

"Is it done? I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Shushan said with a smile and a sigh.

"Ah! Lord Shushan, take care!" Jinjue understood what he said immediately, and ran to Shushan, sat down and bowed.

"By the way, are you the leader of the tribe?" Shushan was about to get up and leave, but when he saw Jinju coming over, he turned around and asked...

"Well... no... the clan leader is Grandma Sanhua, and I... I just..." Jinju shook his tail nervously, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"But you are the only person who can communicate with me smoothly now. I will come over in about three days and we can have a good talk then." Shushan knew that he had done almost enough. He knew that a wild cat cannot be tamed in one day. There is a long way to go, and it is definitely the right thing to build good neighborly relations now.

"Okay, please take care." Jinju bowed respectfully.

Then, Shushan left with silent steps.

Well, this kind of body shape makes no sound when walking, which scares the cat-eared people so much that their ears almost pop out...

Do cat-ear people express emotions the same way as cats? They also hide their ears when they are scared...

. . . . . .

Cat's Paw Islands.

South, Tegenkuma Island.

This is Shushan’s new lair. He has reclaimed more than 150 acres of land here, but...

It seems a bit troublesome to take care of it. Although the insecticide diluted with [Broken Heart Moss] juice is very effective, those harmful birds always come to harass them in an endless stream. Low-toxic insecticides are useless to them, and then...how to describe this scene?

The birds in the southern village bully me because I run slowly. They can't bear to be thieves in front of me, openly carrying grains up the mountain. My lips are dry and my mouth is parched, so I can't even cry. When I come back, I sit and sigh to myself...

And then I don’t remember what happened afterwards.

Just say "See this house in Wuhu".

"Sigh... It was a good thing that Dark Cloud helped me drive away the harmful birds. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cultivate such good corn seeds..." Shushan sighed as he sat down.

As soon as he left Tegenkyu Island, the birds would take the opportunity to come and steal food, so every time he left and came back he would face a mess and a reduction in production was inevitable.

Is it time to get a new big cat? But can other big cats do the job? Wuyun was a hunter who dared to raise his claws to the Dragon God. Is there another watcher on this island as good as Wuyun?

Shushan sighed again... He had also thought about using something like a scarecrow, but it was obvious that these harmful birds had never seen the Horror Pithecanthropus, nor did they know how terrifying humans were, so naturally they were not afraid of a scarecrow in human form...

"Ah, the cat-eared tribe are humanoids? Maybe we can hire them to be the guardians of this land?" Shushan tilted his head and thought.

He is good at farming.

But because of the body shape...

Taking care of the fields is actually quite troublesome for him. He can destroy half an acre of crops just by sitting in the cornfield. Haha, it's so uncomfortable...

Thinking of this, Shushan stood up and left the nest, stepped onto the sea, and walked towards the Palm Ball Island.

The sea is calm.

Well, because Shushan is standing here.

The principle of his sea-walking technique is to move by stepping on something over a larger area. The fish within the range of several hundred meters below the sea surface would probably be able to keenly feel that the water pressure has become a little bit stronger.

A calm sea is good. If there is a strong wind, the yield of the fields will inevitably decrease, so Shushan prays for sunny days every day...

“Haha, I’m so willful to have such an idea.” Shushan laughed at himself. “The waxing and waning of the moon, the rising and falling of wind and clouds are all natural phenomena. Even if I’m a god, I can’t easily interfere with these things…”

When Shushan transformed the Cat's Claw Islands, it affected the ecology of a large area. After noticing this, he suddenly understood... The Dragon God who is responsible for the balance of the world can easily affect the balance of the world...

Shushan moves very fast. With his body size, he can cover dozens of meters in one step. If he runs on the sea, running at supersonic speed is quite easy!

But if you really do that...

I guess you will dislike Bolang...

No, should I lift up the rubbish? No, I haven't spoken Chinese for so long that I can hardly speak it.

Shushan, with his mind in turmoil, soon saw the smoke from cooking fires on the Palm Ball Island... It seemed that the Cat-Eared Tribe were already able to live independently, and Shushan didn't want to interfere with them too much.

"…Just recruit a few cat-eared people. Hmm…how many should we recruit? One person guarding ten acres of land should be enough, but the fighting power of those harmful birds is not bad either…Black Panther has been scratched several times." Shushan thought.

The front paws have already stepped onto the island.

At this time, he saw an orange figure.

Shushan stopped and lowered his head slightly, and found that behind a tree trunk not far away, there was a cat-eared creature named Kumquat hiding.

"Huh? Are you waiting for me here?" Shushan said in surprise. Although he said he would come today, he didn't say when he would come... Could it be that he has been waiting here for the whole day?

"Lord Shushan, good afternoon!" Jinju looked up and greeted, but even if she looked up, she could only see Shushan's chin. It was not until Shushan retracted his neck that she could see Shushan's emerald green eyes.

"Good afternoon. Have you almost finished eating the food in the cellar? Have you gone hunting in the northern grassland?" Shushan crouched down. Only in this way could he make up for the height difference - at least thirty times the height difference!

"Well, yes...just as you expected!" Jinju nodded repeatedly, his ears shaking uneasily, and he still looked very nervous.

"There are actually a lot of sheep in the north, and quite a few cattle too. I'm not afraid that you'll eat them all... Haha, because of me, the grass over there is very lush." ​​Shushan said proudly. According to statistics, the population of wild cattle and sheep has increased by 2.3 times since his intervention!

Of course, this is because there were originally few wild cattle and sheep, and their population increased so much all of a sudden because food was abundant.

But if the number continues to grow...

I guess there will be some adverse effects...

Shushan can easily reduce the number of cattle and sheep, but is it necessary to do so now? Hmm... Or when do we need to take action to balance? I don't quite understand...

After all, it was his first time as a god. Of course, it was also his first time as a dragon... He was also very concerned about whether he had done what a dragon god should do...

"Well! Thanks to you! Since they have eaten and drunk enough, those sick tribesmen have shown signs of recovery..." Jinju nodded vigorously.

"Well, they seem to have some symptoms of sepsis, which should be complications caused by malnutrition on the ship... By the way, did you eat well on the ship?" Shushan asked with his head down, the tender buds of dragon horns on his forehead swaying in the wind.

"Yes, although the food we brought from the land is not much, but we have fishing nets and can catch fish at sea, which can fill our stomachs half full." Kumquat replied.

"Where are the vegetables?"

"Uh, no..."

“Is there any food made from plants on board?”

"Yes, there are...several barrels of orange peel wine were given as gifts when I bought the boat, but...but we cat-eared orcs can't drink this, it will give us stomach upset..." Kumquat scratched his head.

"I see. Did you know? When humans go out to sea, they bring citrus fruits or high-vitamin foods like wine to avoid sepsis... Well, in the final analysis, it's actually a question of nutritional balance. The beast-eared tribe should be omnivorous creatures. Unlike pure carnivorous cats, they don't have the ability to synthesize necessary nutrients... So, they can't just eat meat and fish, they have to eat some fruits and vegetables..."

Shushan talked a lot.

Jinju listened in a daze.

After a while, Shushan realized that he had said too much. He spoke slowly to begin with, and yet he made people listen to him for so long, so he quickly shut up.

"…Sorry, I just say things that you can't understand." Shushan scratched his face embarrassedly.

"No way! The wisdom in your words is very profound! I have benefited a lot from it!" Jinju waved his hands quickly.

"Can you understand? Words like vitamins, sepsis, balanced nutrition, omnivorous, etc?" Shushan's eyes lit up.

"Although I don't understand, something similar comes to my mind. Vitamins are some necessary nutrients, right? Sepsis is a disease caused by nutritional deficiency, and the symptoms are the same as those of the tribesmen..." Kumquat obviously understood Shushan's words.

This is great. Shushan speaks Dragon language, but the vocabulary he uses is based on Chinese structure, but the other party can still understand him, which shows that his comprehension ability is far beyond that of ordinary people!

What an amazing ability to understand!

Is Kumquat the elite of the cat-ear tribe?

Shushan asked.

“…No, I’m not the kind of person you’re talking about.” Jinjue heard Shushan’s doubts and shook her head repeatedly, “I’m a pure-colored orange cat, but a female who can’t have children, so I was driven out of my home when I was very young. The Sanhua tribe was the tribe that took me in later…

“I didn’t have the chance to board the ship this time, but I got the chance to do so, and I’m very grateful to Grandma Sanhua for that…

"I am not an elite in the tribe, but a burden who cannot have children... The adults in the tribe are very disgusted with my existence. Only Grandmother Sanhua reused me despite the rumors of others."

Shushan frowned.

Then raise an eyebrow.

He nodded again in understanding.

It turns out that kumquat is a lucky cat!

Male calico and female orange cats are extremely rare, and even if they appear, they are infertile. I didn’t expect that the same is true for the cat-eared tribe!

"I have more than 150 acres of land on an island in the south. I need a 'Watcher' to help me take care of it. Are you willing to work for me?" Shushan asked.

Chapter 9: Curious Calico Curl

The social structure of the Beast-eared Tribe is similar to that of humans, but different.

As for the cat-eared tribe of the beast-eared tribe, although their social structure is based on tribes, no matter what, they can still trace their origins back hundreds of years...

The Sanhua tribe is a typical cat-ear tribe.

Advocate division of labor and cooperation.

Because of their unique cat-shaped organs, there is not much difference between the leg strength, grip strength, hearing, and balance ability of male and female cat-eared people, and the fighting power of male and female is almost the same.
