Dragon God, immortal

"A facultative parasite like Ganoderma lucidum? It parasitizes on corn, is highly toxic, and... possesses magical powers! Oh no, is the corn on Zhangqiu Island also infected?" Shushan reacted quickly and made a judgment immediately.

He plucked a leaf from the small tree on Dragon Horn, lowered his head and handed it to Jinju, saying solemnly: "I gave you the [Magic of Plant Creation]. You know how to use Flame Flower and Frost Flower, right? Use these two potions to destroy all the corn!"

"This... May I ask, why? It's time to harvest..." Kumquat looked up at the tree mountain while holding a leaf that was half a person's height, with an unmistakable look of confusion on his face.

"These corns are no longer edible. The spores of the parasite have spread. I think all the No. 3 corns on this island... will not be spared." Shushan said and sighed.

He didn't explain too much. The only one who could keep up with him was Juan Hua. For the watchers who couldn't understand, he just had to give orders.

If the corns cannot be harvested in a hurry, this field, and even the entire Togenqiu Island, may be infected by the spores of this parasitic fungus.

Its products are poisonous and extremely toxic!

If you eat cats, your life may be in danger!

After Shushan finished his instructions, he started walking towards the direction of the Palm Ball Island. No, he ran towards it! His figure was like a leopard!

As an earth dragon god, Shushan has a strong resonance with the earth, and his body is always shrouded in magic, distributing his weight into the earth.

He rarely makes big movements, and even subconscious actions like raising his hind paws, sweeping his tail, and jumping, he would rationally hold back... The reason is very simple...

The watchers suddenly felt the ground shaking... The solid ground was shaking like a ship on the waves, and everyone had to squat to stand firm...

The might of the Earth Dragon God running.

It is so terrifying.

Chapter 18: A new kitten has appeared, how can we stand still!

This was probably the first time that Shushan ran at full speed since he was born, and a greasy fear hung over Shushan's heart.

In the equatorial sea, between Tegenqiu Island and Zhangqiu Island.

The sea surface is undergoing incredible changes.

The sea surface, measured in kilometers, went from the initial slight waves to a dead silence like a mirror, and then suddenly sank down dozens of meters...

After the powerful divine power left, the sunken sea surface quickly closed up due to the surrounding water pressure, and turbulent waves like a tsunami surged up...

That was the trace of Shushan's passing. Countless creatures under the sea were overturned by it, and they were trembling with fear and hoping that the wrath of God would be extinguished as soon as possible. However, Shushan did not feel any anger in his heart. He was just... quite helpless.

"This is the result of the broken balance. The cause is probably because I released magic recklessly." As Shushan ran, his long tail swayed up and down, forming layers of waves behind him.

If the world is a balance.

Then chaos and order are the weights.

The Dragon God's mission is to add or remove weights on both sides of the scale to ensure that the scale remains stable.

However, the balance of the scale is not a rigid requirement. As long as the weights of chaos and order are not too different, the scale can be slightly shaken and remain stable. As long as the scale is stable, the operation of adding or removing weights becomes particularly simple.

Of course, the weights themselves cannot increase themselves. The only one who can affect the balance is the operator other than the scale and the weights - that is, God.

"Fertile soil is the cause..." Shushan slowed down his pace. If he walked towards the Palm Ball Island at this pace, he would scare the creatures on the island. "I created excessively fertile soil. The black soil hides my magic power... Ordinary crops cannot consume magic power, so they are nourished by other things... This is the result."

A place where magic power is excessively concentrated will give rise to all sorts of phenomena. Presumably, the parasitic bacteria that targets corn are the mutated product of excessive magic power.

It is a vicious product of Shushan’s mismanagement!

It is the 'devil's seed' that symbolizes chaos!

"The amount of magic power absorbed by the parasite should not be much compared to the total amount of black soil on Palm Ball Island... If it continues to absorb magic power and mutate, what will it become..."

As Shushan thought so, he slowed down his pace and walked into the Palm Ball Island, walking onto the familiar Dragon Avenue.

His first stop was the sixty acres of farmland.

There are more than a dozen cat people around the farmland.

Shushan's arrival seemed to have frightened the cat people. He usually wouldn't visit Palm Island at this time of year, and the noise he made when he ran just now was very loud. He probably really frightened the cat people on Palm Island...

“Lord Shushan! You have to take charge of us!” A blue-gray-haired cat-man knelt down in front of Shushan and cried, “Those watchers are crazy. They want to burn your crops and your fields!”

Shushan was slightly stunned, looking at the seemingly peaceful cornfield. After smelling the strong musky smell of spores in the air, he thought something was wrong... The spores of the parasite have completely spread...

"Lord Shushan! Lord Dragon God! These corns are tributes grown for you! Please stop the wanton behavior of those watchers!" The blue-gray cat man continued to cry, but Shushan ignored him.

The main reason is lack of familiarity.

Shushan is quite shy.

Frowning, Shushan found three watchers carrying shields among the cat crowd. He recognized the one in the lead. He was one of the five people who originally followed him to Tegenkyu Island. His name seemed to be... Bai Huahua?

Yes, her original name was Bai Hua Hua. She was a cat-person with pure white fur on the front, except for her tail and the area above the tail, which had a flower-shaped pattern the same color as her skin, just like an orchid. Later, Shu Shan changed her name to Bai Lan.

Bai Lan and Jin Ju have a good relationship. They are one of the few cat-eared cats that do not discriminate against orange female cats. It is said that they are related to Juan Hua by blood.

"Bai Lan, what are you doing?" Shushan asked with his head down.

"In reply to Lord Dragon God..."

Bai Lan lowered her head nervously and half-knelt...

What the blue-gray cat-man said was right. This most fertile field belonged to Shushan's private property. Shushan allowed the cat-eared tribe to pay half of the produce as rental fee in exchange for the right to use this loving land.

Bai Lan was now ordered by Juan Hua to burn the diseased corns, which meant that the Cat-Eared Tribe wanted to destroy Shu Shan's private dragon property on their own initiative... If Shu Shan got angry about this, no one would be able to bear this anger...

"...A strange disease has appeared in the tribe. Lord Juanhua judged that there was something wrong with the corn, so...so now we have to burn all the corn." Bai Lan said after considering for a while.

"Lord Shushan! Those little brats just ate something bad by mistake! There is absolutely no problem with the corn I planted! Please believe me!" The blue-gray cat-man raised his head and looked at Shushan with sincere eyes.

"Well...how many people died because of this?" Shushan ignored the blue-gray cat-man. No matter how sincere the look was, it was so small in his eyes that he could ignore it...

On the contrary, Bai Lan is Juan Hua's confidant, and everything she does must be carried out under Juan Hua's instructions.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan carefully recalled that no one died in the big house where she was and the surrounding area because Juan Hua treated them in time.

After Juan Hua finished the experiment in her house, the medicines had been distributed. Bai Lan didn't know whether the medicines had saved the critically ill people in time...

"Master Shushan! That's just a common fever. It has nothing to do with corn! Please stop them..."

"Shut up! You idiot!"

Shushan interrupted the blue-gray cat-man with a sharp voice!

The blue-grey cat-man was so overwhelmed by the pressure that he prostrated himself on the ground and dared not move.

This was the first time that Shushan let his emotions run wild and yelled at the cat-eared tribe. The sound was so loud that it startled countless birds within a hundred miles...

He was filled with anxiety and paced unconsciously after the roar. His tail instinctively slapped the ground, and the rumbling sound was frightening.

He turned his head slightly to make sure nothing was killed by his unconscious tail swing before continuing:

"Burn this corn field - after you burn my corn field, you can't harvest the corn you have cultivated... No, close all the granaries, and no corn-related food can be eaten until it is checked!"

"Yes, sir! The witch has ordered the recall of all corn!" Bai Lan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Shushan's order... It seems that Shushan's judgment is consistent with Juanhua and the watchers.

"How much oatmeal is in stock?"

"Very few, very few..."

"Why not grow oats? I have already told Juanhua about the harm of a single staple food. Didn't she remind you?" Shushan took a deep breath.

"The yield of oats is too low, and the seeds fall off quickly after they mature, making them difficult to harvest in a concentrated manner... In contrast, corn has a high yield, is easy to manage, and farmers are experienced, so most male farmers only favor corn..." Bai Lan sighed and explained that what crops to plant is decided by the cat-ear tribe in charge of the corresponding fields.

Everyone wants to grow crops with high yields and good taste, everyone likes the sweet and fragrant corn, and everyone thinks that handing over the corn as a tribute to Shushan will make the Dragon God happier...

After all, even if you tell them that the corn will fail in the future due to a minor disease, they will not believe it... The mob only believes in immediate benefits.

"Alas... after destroying the corn, all the fields will be planted with oats. If we plant them now, we can still catch up in the winter reserves..." Shushan said helplessly.

"Obey God's orders." Bai Lan responded to Shushan's order. The witch Juanhua was busy treating the tribesmen. As a watcher, Bai Lan agreed with Shushan's judgment.

Shushan said, digging his claws into the cornfield.

Sure enough, there were mycelium of parasitic fungi underground.

Compared with the cornfield on Tegenqiu Island, the mycelium network here is obviously more numerous and denser.

Shushan clenched his claws and held the mycelium in front of him into a ball... Unfortunately, the mycelium with magical power has a certain resistance to magic, and this magic cannot completely kill the mycelium...

Alas, corn is really inedible with this stuff in it.

Is it time to chew the bark again?

It's the worst possible situation.

Shushan loosened his claws and thought helplessly...

. . . . . .

"Rust is initially suspected to be caused by some fungus, whose hyphae drill into the corn plants from the ground, and then their fibers drill into the corn stalks, causing the corn kernels to rot."

Juan Hua wrote in his notebook.

Her eyelids were slightly dark due to edema.

Lack of sleep and overwork made her hair messy and her bright fur became dull, which shows how hard she worked.

After rubbing his eyes, Juan Hua tapped the flower pot beside him with a comb. The blinding grass in the flower pot was stimulated and the brightness increased by two levels...

The light enveloped the small house at midnight. On the bed not far away, a little cat felt the light, held its ears, stretched its neck, sat up and looked at Juan Hua...

"Mom, it's time to go to bed." The little cat said in a daze.

"You go to sleep first, no need to wait for me." Juan Hua ignored her and continued to write something seriously.

"Woo...where's Aunt Bai Lan?" The little cat stood up, put its numb tail on its thigh, and flattened the clump of hair with its paws.

"Bai Lan has work to do. She has to check for inedible corn and search for rust fungus in other fields." After Juan Hua answered, the tip of his pen rubbed against the paper again.

"Hey...then...where's dad?" the little cat pouted.

She jumped off the bed and walked to Juan Hua to read what she had written...

Later I found that I couldn’t understand it, and the bright light of the blinding grass attracted my attention…

"Hei Song and other male cat people are planting oats and sleeping on the big bunk bed over in the field... Su Ju, if you can't sleep, get up and learn to read. You're almost five years old, and you'll be going to school soon." Juan Hua raised the feather pen, lifted the light feather, and placed it on Su Ju's restless paws. "Also, when the blinding grass directly touches biological tissue, it will burst out a light bright enough to blind people. You should also master this knowledge."

"Oh." Su Ju nodded awkwardly and retracted her claws that wanted to touch the glowing grass.

Suju left the desk.

Sitting on the bed, chin in hand, in a daze.

Mom is still as strict as ever. Is Aunt Bai Lan still busy so late? Where is Dad again? Sigh...

Su Ju, who looked tired, looked out the window. As the light of the blinding grass stabilized, her pupils slowly turned into a round full moon, and she also looked at the full moon in the sky...

As she watched, she lowered her head and dozed off, then suddenly raised her head and staggered. After a long while, she was overcome by sleepiness and fell on the bed.

Juan Hua's ears moved slightly when he heard the noise. He sighed and put the feather pen in the quartz pen holder.

Add two drops of cold water to the pot of blinding grass.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed.

Even a cat's pupils cannot adapt quickly to such changes in brightness.

In the dark, Juan Hua sat on the bed, let Su Ju rest her head on his thighs, and used a dragon scale comb to gently comb her hair...

Suju is a solid white cat with curled ears. Her curled ears and the fluffy fur around her ears inherited her mother's traits. The shape of the fur is like daisies blooming on the roadside, but unlike the golden daisies, it is pure white in color.

"Hmm...Aunt Bai Lan..." Little Suju felt comfortable with her hair being combed and hummed softly.

Juan Hua smiled helplessly.

It seems like she has never taken care of children?

Cat-eared mothers living in the same big house will help each other take care of their children and take turns to have free time.

But Juan Hua, as a witch and leader of the tribe...she really didn't have much time to raise her children, so she basically let Bai Lan take care of them...Besides, their fur colors look very similar, and an uninformed cat person might think they are real mother and daughter...

Then, as the child of a shrine maiden, Su Ju will inevitably inherit the burden of the shrine maiden in the future. As a mother, Juan Hua only hopes that her child will also inherit her wisdom...

"It's okay even if you're not smart, as long as you listen to Lord Dragon God..." Juan Hua put down the comb and placed it on the bedside, then lay down and rested while holding Su Ju.

The witch Juan Hua has seen through it all. The entire Cat Claw Islands depends on the Dragon God Tree Mountain. Even if her children are stupid, as long as they are not stupid enough to disobey the Dragon God, it will basically be easy for them to lead the overall situation in the future...

As long as the cat-ear tribe relies on the Dragon God, they can be guaranteed prosperity for ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years...

There is no doubt about this...

Juan Hua saw through all of this.

Thinking like this, Juan Hua fell asleep holding her child in her arms for the first time in a long time, smelling the scent of Su Ju. The worries and difficulties of the day seemed to be far away.
