Dragon God, immortal

"It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger..."

Shushan sighed and explained to the little elf why they had to rush to harvest the crops when it rained heavily and the wind was strong.

As a fairy, Jin Xiaoju has no concept of parents, but it is said that fairy species will look for a guardian like a parent after they are born, and Jin Xiaoju seems to have determined that Jin Ju is its parent...

As for the Jin Xiaoju race, it seems that their natural function is to plant trees and grass. They have mastered a lot of skills by following Jin Ju to plant crops. They have been used to having smooth sailing over the years. They have never seen a real natural disaster...

"…So, if we allow the flood to submerge the farmland, most of the seeds in the farmland will be soaked and rotten. Not to mention eating them, it will even be a problem whether they can be planted!" Shushan said this, and he was also teaching it on behalf of Jinju.

"Awoo..." Jin Xiaoju blinked while hanging behind Shushan.

When we arrived at the farmland, all the watchers were already working hard to dig the canals.

You have to know that the terrain of Tegenkyu Island is a basin surrounded by mountains, and water accumulates very quickly!

"Master Shushan!"

"Great! You're awake!"

"The irrigation canal has been dug. Now...ah, the crops in the fields are just beginning to mature..."

"What should we do? Should we rush to harvest?!"

The watchers gathered in twos and threes, working together to cast magic to tidy up the ridges and ditches, but they also knew that if the storm blew here, everything they did might be in vain...

"It's unusual to have a hurricane like this in this season," Shushan said. His deep voice made the cat man feel at ease. "Let's harvest the crops quickly. There's still one day before the hurricane arrives. Harvest the unripe crops."

"As ordered!"

"Follow your orders~"

"Damn it! The production is not even as good as last season..."

Hearing this, Shushan shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry about food. Last season's produce is enough for us to eat. And don't worry about the typhoon. Storms come and go quickly."

"Well, Lord Dragon God, that's not what I'm worried about... I made a bet with my husband that whoever's farm yields the most this year gets to name the child... I think my husband has terrible taste!"

Shushan: “…”

The Watchers: "..."

No, putting aside your bet, given the current situation, your husband on the Island will not have a good harvest!

However, the words of this watcher also reminded Shushan that there was no Dragon God in charge of the Palm Island, and the situation over there... might be even worse!

"I'm going to take a look over at the Palm Ball Island. When you finish harvesting, hide by my bed!" Shushan said. After comforting the watchers, he turned around and ran towards the Palm Ball Island.

Well, he still ran in such a high-profile manner, and the vibration of the ground could make a one-meter-high rock jump up...

The chinchilla Jin Xiaoju was still hung on Shushan's tail.

But when Shushan left the range of Tegenkyu Island.

Jin Xiaoju seemed to have hit a soft wall and fell down.

Only then did Shushan realize that he had not let the chinchilla get off the car. So, it turned out that it could not leave the range of Tegenkyu Island?

"Just stay here and help. You can eat as many fat beans as you want afterwards." Shushan said, standing on the calm sea.

"Awoo!" Jin Xiaoju nodded repeatedly. Its favorite food is the pods of fat beans!

Work for food!

Not shabby!

. . . . . .

When Shushan arrived at Zhangqiu Island, the storm had already occupied half of the sky.

This means that the first wave of strong winds will arrive in about half a day, and the residents of Zhangqiu Island will be in danger.

Don't underestimate natural disasters! A huge storm is enough to destroy a town! Especially if this town is still in its primitive period, it's not surprising that it wiped out the entire clan in an instant!

But when he arrived at the cat-ear tribe.

He realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Ever since the blast furnace was built in Mianlong Valley and the brick kiln factory around the blast furnace, the quality of life of the Cat Ear Tribe has improved by leaps and bounds.

"The house is built using the juice of ground roots as adhesive and red clay bricks... and these ropes, um, are fibers of storm vines, so there is no need to worry about the living area." Shushan breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head to respond to the greetings of the passing cat-eared tribe.

If the cat-ear tribe still lived in houses made of aggregated mud and sand as before, they probably would not be able to withstand this round of storm, but this kind of brick and tile houses would be no problem.

There are also red brick sheds for livestock, and some places that need special reinforcement are reinforced with storm vine ropes.

The cat-eared tribe are also busy preparing for the inevitable arrival of the wind group.

Seeing this, Shushan left the tribe and walked towards the farmland.

Well, it looks like there's nothing to worry about here.

Unlike the field management in the past which completely relied on watchmen, since the advent of iron farm tools, only five ordinary catmen are needed to catch up with the harvesting speed of one watchman.

The watcher has run out of magic power and needs to rest, but the civilian cat people can take turns to join the battle... However, now everyone is out to harvest, so there is no chance to rest. Just harvest as much as you can!

"Master Shushan!" A white cat with curly ears waved from a distance. Oh, it should be waving a sickle in the shape of a question mark. "Don't worry! I guarantee you'll have enough to eat at the winter solstice dinner!"

"I feel relieved when you hear this." Shushan nodded with a smile, and the tension in his heart immediately dissipated.

His recipe is the whole plant plus a small amount of minerals.

Do not eat only refined food made from plant seeds.

But...

Concentrated feed tastes better than whole plant feed!

Shushan only eats pure refined food once a year at the Winter Solstice dinner! If he can't eat it once a year, he might be depressed for the whole year...

Well, if we translate it into modern human feelings, it's like when you get your monthly paycheck, you could have gone to a place like Kentucky Saya for a meal, but it happened to coincide with the garbage fee collection that happens once every six months, so you can't eat like that, and you're very frustrated...

. . . . . .

Deep blue sea.

It is the largest ocean known to mankind.

Contrary to most people's intuition, there are not fish everywhere in the ocean. Most of the sea areas are as barren as deserts!

"General, the fleet has avoided the storm, but... has deviated significantly from the original route. We may have... entered the 'Sea of ​​Death'."

"Tsk...damn storm!" General Kuremon Yata exclaimed.

The compass in his hand spun around.

The surroundings were shrouded in an impenetrable mist.

The fleet he led lost its direction...

Chapter 25 Awakening, Hunting Time

Just as Shushan said.

The storm came and went quickly.

At the same time, he smelled a different kind of magic in the storm, and had some vague guesses in his mind...

“I’m afraid the changes in the spiritual world have fallen into reality. Could it be that Guangre is influencing this side before he’s even born?” Shushan burped, his tail wagging slightly.

After realizing his instinctive action, Shushan scratched his head and stepped on his tail with his hind legs to prevent it from sweeping the cat-people or buildings around him... With his size and weight, a sweep of his tail is enough to destroy a heavy tank...

Today is the Winter Solstice Dinner.

It was also the day when post-disaster reconstruction was completed.

Although they said they were rebuilding later, in fact nothing was damaged. Only the crops that were collected were of lower quality. The Cat-Eared Tribe has become completely independent!

Let me briefly introduce Shushan’s meal today: corn cakes made from refined cornmeal, vegetable soup cooked with fat beans and alfalfa, five pieces of crispy pressed high-calcium slag, and more than ten barrels of carefully fermented beer!

Looking back to the time when Shushan was just born, he was still chewing tree bark and biting rocks, and his mouth was miserable and bitter all day long. But now he can eat such rich food, which really makes Long sigh. This is the result of hard work!

"Wuhu! Labor is the most glorious!" Shushan raised the beer barrel and shouted. His tail, which had been stepped on, slipped out at some point and slapped his back.

Below, hundreds of cat-eared people heard the dragon's voice, and then, led by Hei Song, the drunken production team raised their glasses and responded: "Labor is the most glorious!!"

Well, Shushan was actually a little tipsy, but the craft beer he was drinking didn't make him drunk at all, and the smell would probably disappear completely in an hour or two.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad.

It’s best not to get drunk.

After Shushan finished drinking—or rather chewing—a barrel of beer, a blue-gray cat-man attentively brought him another barrel...

"I remember now, it was you who brought the beer up that day, right?" Shushan saw that figure and finally had an impression of this cat-man who was diligent in trying to please him.

"Ah, yes! Yes! Lord Shushan, my name is..." The blue-gray cat man was very excited and was about to kneel down to introduce himself.

"I don't care who you are or what you want to do, but it's useless to please me." Shushan raised his chin and said, "Listen, little cat man, my creed is 'God rewards hard work'! As I said, labor is the most glorious! The more you work, the more you get is the correct idea! In my opinion, the cat-man society should be based on distribution according to work and supplemented by distribution according to needs. It's okay to have something privately! But you have to make enough contributions! To be honest, pleasing me is not a contribution!"

Shushan's words reached the ears of every cat-person. Well, every cat-eared person heard it with all four ears. Everyone silently memorized Shushan's attitude...

Indeed, the hardworking and smart cat people have all received the rewards they deserve.

Both the curly birch and the black pine have earned their status on their own.

No one would question the witch and the production team leader!

The blue-gray cat-man looked ashamed when he heard this, his ears and tail drooped in disappointment, but his slightly raised whiskers showed that he still had some small thoughts...

. . . . . .

A Brief History of the Cat's Paw Islands:

Under the supervision of the Dragon God, the various tribes of the Cat's Claw Islands pursue a social system in which distribution according to work is the main method and distribution according to needs is the auxiliary method. Those who work harder get more, and those who have no labor force or low labor force are allocated according to their minimum needs.

However, some people believe that such a society is not progressive enough... right?

"The diligent will turn into fireflies and live with the Dragon God after death! The lazy will fall into the endless abyss and suffer eternal torture!" - The High Priest of the Dragon God Cult.

"The Dragon God does not need faith, but the cat-eared tribe does." - Pure white priestess, Suju.

. . . . . .

Sailing in the boundless ocean is a torture to the soul. Many sailors believe that after death, the souls of sinners will be caught by God and made to fall into the boundless deep blue sea, where they will suffer the lonely crushing punishment under the endless water pressure.

Of course, this is just a legend, and Kuremon doesn't believe it at all.

If there is a god in this world, he is just a more powerful wizard!

Just a wizard? What are you afraid of?

How many have I killed in my life?

"Captain," reported the first mate, whose face was tattooed with black patches to hide scars, "two more people starved to death..."

"Take the secret to the back." Kuremon ordered without hesitation, waving his hand.

"This is a heinous crime..."

"I am the one who issued the order."

"As you command." The first mate sighed and left the captain's room. Kuremon's attitude was quite clear.

The Yata Fleet had a total of three ships, all of which were three-masted ocean-going sailing ships. Each ship was equipped with a captain, five assistants, and the rest of the crew ranged from sixty to eighty people.

The five lieutenants are responsible for the navigation log, helmsman, gunner, damage control, food, etc. If the captain dies, the five lieutenants will serve as captain according to the above priority.

The captain has the highest authority to give orders.

The captain's orders must not be disobeyed.

So if the captain requires the crew not to starve to death, then the crew are not allowed to starve to death... Therefore, everyone is acting under the captain's orders, and all responsibilities should be borne by the person who gave the orders.

Kuremon knew this very well, and he also knew how ridiculous his orders were, but everything could only be summed up in one word - helplessness.

This is the Deep Blue Sea, the Sea of ​​Death in the Deep Blue Sea. There is barren water in the sea area, and almost no fish will pass through this sea area. The deep blue color symbolizes the cruelty of the sea god...

But in the Sea of ​​Death, compasses will become useless, climate change will make the sky hazy, and human sense of direction is just a joke in the sea. Deep in the Sea of ​​Death, you will never know which direction you are heading to, whether it is hell or heaven.

This is the Sea of ​​Death.

There is only one way to fall into it.

"No one has ever stepped into the Sea of ​​Death and escaped safely... I don't believe it!" Kuremon gritted his teeth and squeezed the compass in his palm. The crystal mirror creaked from the pressure, and the broken metal pieces cut his fingertips.

As an ocean-going warship, the Yata Fleet's crew members have the same will as warriors, and the purpose of their voyage is very simple, that is, for wealth.
