Dragon God, immortal

He looked over and found that the leading human seemed to be saying something to him, but he couldn't hear it clearly. However, it didn't sound like anything good...

Shushan thought about it. If he missed this opportunity, he might have to wait for the cat-ear tribe to light up the navigation technology tree before he could learn about the outside world...

Thinking of this, Shushan stepped onto the sea. For him, walking on the water like Jesus was a very simple thing.

Then, it was the humans' turn to be confused.

People can walk on water.

The speed is no slower than a boat.

"Row! Everyone row! Quick, quick, quick! Get moving!" Kuremon gave the order hurriedly and ran to the oars to row.

"Human, stop what you are doing." Shushan tried to express his thoughts in Dragon Language, but he knew Dragon Language, and he understood it. "You stole my wealth, and you want to leave without paying the price?"

"Gunner! Where's your special magic cannon? Quick! Fire!" Kuremon didn't respond to Shushan's words at all. Perhaps he thought it was stupid to communicate with monsters...

"I said, stop!" Shushan raised his claws and used the [Magic of Repelling All Things] to grab a boat.

Theoretically, as long as one is stronger than Shushan, one can break free from this traction.

But theory is one thing and practice is another. The ship could only be towed slowly, as if swept by an undercurrent, and docked in front of the tree mountain.

Bang—bang—

The sound of cannon fire rang out one after another.

Shushan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that there was gunpowder technology in this world, or alchemical powder technology?

Several shells hit him, but it didn't hurt at all. He even pinched one of them with his bare hands, put it in his mouth and chewed it... Hmm, it tasted like a sticky gummy candy.

Ignoring these ineffective attacks, Shushan lay on the boat and looked at the humans on it. Well, there was nothing much to look at about humans, especially those who hadn't taken a shower for several days and had rolled around in his toilet.

Bang——boom——!

Another cannon shot rang out.

Shushan's attention was drawn to the ship in the distance, and he nodded slightly. The ship fired a special cannonball. The magic power contained in it made Shushan very interested. He prepared to block it with his claws.

As a result, the shell landed on the boat in front of Shushan, and Shushan was stunned.

Ah this, they hit one of their own.

Intentional or accidental?

Just like that, Shushan helplessly watched the ship in front of him fall apart and disintegrate in the blazing flames. The people inside the ship were roasted into charcoal by the high temperature...

Shushan shrank his neck speechlessly. Humans are indeed experts when it comes to killing their own kind... For what purpose was such a high-explosive incendiary shell developed?

Because the ship was made of wood, once it caught fire it could not extinguish itself unless it was thrown into the sea. The crew inside had no way to escape, and the few survivors jumped off the deck into the sea, but they could never float up again.

the reason is simple.

They all had diamonds on them, more or less.

After all, it is a diamond emitted by the Earth Dragon God, and the magic power inside is still very heavy.

In desperation, Shushan abandoned the burning ship and walked towards the one that fired the magic shells.

"It, he's catching up!" The sailors on the ship shouted in panic. That monster actually used the human ship to block the legendary cannonball! What a despicable reptile!

"There's no other way... First mate! Use that!" Kuremon waved his hand and gave the order while suppressing his fear... Shushan put a lot of pressure on him, and a monster of that size was definitely not something that human power could match!

'That' refers to the wave propulsion magic circle developed by the More Empire.

The principle is that the wizard observed that a ship was pushed forward by the waves and moved very fast.

Therefore, several ocean-going ships of the Yata Fleet are equipped with 'Terror Wave Magic', which can be triggered when necessary to obtain a great acceleration.

However, since the wooden structure of the ship is not very strong and the magic circle is not perfect, once it is triggered there will be a risk of the ship being destroyed and people being killed!

As the magic circle was triggered, a huge semicircular water ball rose from under the ship, raising the ship to a height of more than ten meters above sea level...

Afterwards, the ship sailed away from the tree mountain, and slid down the semicircular water ball quickly like a slide...

The water ball then fell back into the sea, and the waves it created pushed the ship forward again, completing a second acceleration...

Well, I instantly created distance and escaped successfully.

Shushan's mouth opened wide!

Ouch, let me go!

This magic is awesome!

Rowing does not rely on wind or oars, it all depends on the waves! However, judging from the shaky appearance of the boat, relying on the waves may not be a reliable method!

"At this speed, I may not be able to catch up if I walk over." Shushan shook his tail, flattening the waves in front of him so that he could stand firmly on the sea surface. "If I run, I will probably push them into the seabed before I catch up... Oh, forget it, I'm too lazy to run."

Shushan looked back and saw that their fleet had left behind a ship. They could use the ship to buy some food and charcoal.

Ah, didn’t Hei Song say he wanted to build a fishing boat?

It seems to have been delayed due to various things.

This ship can be used as a sample for him. Shushan doesn't know much about shipbuilding, so let him study it himself...

After sighing, Shushan turned around and walked back. The direction that group of humans were fleeing from was not very good. Even the Earth Dragon God could not stand on that kind of sea...

That sea area is called the 'Blue Eye' by Shushan.

The marine environment is quite special.

Even Shushan would get confused if he walked in. If possible, he really didn't want to walk into that area.

According to his observation, the seabed of that sea area is the split point between two continental plates. There is a crack across the equator, and the depth of the seabed is estimated to be more than 5,000 meters. This distance exceeds the farthest distance that Shushan draws magic from the earth.

In certain seasons, the 'Blue Eye' will cause the sea surface to be concave due to the tide. That is, if you stand at one end of the sea and look to the other end, you can see the sails and the hull at the same time, which is very interesting.

"Moreover, the water in the crack seems to be heavier than the water in the shallow sea above..." Shushan remembered the subtle information he had felt before and murmured in his heart.

After returning to the island, Shushan used the toilet comfortably, then found Jinju and Jinxiaoju and briefly explained the situation to them.

Then he returned to the Palm Ball Island with the "trophies".

Pull the ship to the shore and hand it over to the cat-ear tribe.

When the watchers learned that Tegenqiu Island had been invaded by humans and its granary had been looted, they were furious and organized themselves to fight against the invading beasts.

However, when they learned that the invaders were almost all killed by Lord Shushan, and that a ship was left behind in a hurry, the anger in their hearts was slightly extinguished...

After all, Lord Shushan had taken action, and it was a rare killing, which showed that the Earth Dragon God was even angrier than them...and those humans had paid a price that satisfied Lord Shushan, so the Watchers stopped pursuing the matter.

"Well... I didn't kill anyone, really." Shushan heard the whispers around him and fiddled with his nails awkwardly.

Those humans were merely frightened to death by him, killed by the recoil when they attacked him, frightened to death by him, or killed by their own people's artillery shells. It really had nothing to do with him!

I have no subjective desire to kill...

Don't talk nonsense...

Shushan thought so, but he would not say such words out loud, because at that time he did have a little desire, just a little bit, just a little bit between his fingers, to exterminate that greedy and thieving species.

"Master Shushan!" Hei Song stood on the shore, his tail swaying back and forth, indicating that even at the age of nearly thirty, he could not calm down. "Can you really give us this ship?"

"Well, it's more like compensation than a gift. After all, what was stolen was the watchers' granary. This ship can be regarded as compensation for those bastards." Shushan said. In fact, the things stolen also included his carbon emissions. Well, there is no need to say more about that matter. It feels absurd to exchange feces for a cruiser.

The Watchers had no problem with Lord Shushan's decision.

It would be better to hand over this ship to the production team.

In fact, Shushan was also looking forward to Hei Song being able to build a big ship. In that case... he wouldn't have to carry the Watchers across the sea every time, and could just let them drive the boat themselves... Shushan could be lazy...

. . . . . .

Recently, a rumor has been spreading in the More Empire.

Legend has it that the great navigator Curemon Yata mistakenly entered the Sea of ​​Death while sailing and found a mysterious island.

There are cannibals on the island, there is delicious food everywhere, and countless treasures are buried under the land!

However... there is a malicious dragon on the island that feeds on humans. It was so greedy that it drove away the indigenous people on the island and occupied all the food and treasures... It was a terrifying dragon that was longer than two ships connected together!

The fleet originally had three ships with a total of more than 300 crew members, but after experiencing the mysterious island, only 30 people returned. The returning crew members took out unpolished pure magic gems, which is the most powerful evidence!

However, dragons aren’t the only threat on the island!

The very air inside is cursed!

All people who have been to the island will be eroded by the curse, which will gradually corrode their souls, causing them to tremble, become irritable, forgetful, epileptic, convulsed, demented, suffer from sheep paralysis, giggle for no reason, become interested in the same sex, lose faith in God, etc., and eventually lead those who are infected with the curse to death...

Well, there is naturally no curse on that island. On the contrary, it is an island that can make people feel full of energy just by standing on it.

It is estimated that it will take thousands of years for humans to realize the existence of prions. Until then, the "Mysterious Island" will bear the terrifying name of dragons and curses.

However, the Age of Discovery probably lasted only about one or two hundred years...

Chapter 28 On the way: The first magic revolution

A wonderful spring!

The blast furnace in Mianlong Valley has officially started operation!

Thanks to the development of iron tools, mining no longer requires magic. Even ordinary cat people can help out and mine the mines in the southwest of the Palm Ball Island with considerable efficiency.

The geographical location of Zhangqiu Island is very good. It has distinct four seasons and is not too cold. Only in summer will the temperature bring obvious discomfort - the furry limbs of the cat-eared people can withstand cold but not heat.

"We have to smelt all the necessary ore before summer, uh~. Otherwise... uh~, the weather will be too hot and people will have to have summer vacation!" Hei Song said while burping.

This is the witch's hut in the tribe.

It is the home of the birch and black pine.

Ever since Su Ju came of age, she was kicked out of the big house where Aunt Bai Lan lived and temporarily lived in this small house.

The current situation is: at dawn, Hei Song is drinking beer and eating corn cakes, eating fat beans to go with the beer; Juan Hua is taking notes at the desk next to him, recording the data in Hei Song's report; and Su Ju...

The poor little white cat with curled ears was left aside and no one cared about it. It could only eat malt sugar pitifully.

"Well, this summer's rain clouds may arrive early. The Watchers need a batch of sickles for harvesting. Can they be made before summer?" Juan Hua asked, raising her head slightly. She was already 33 years old, which was the most charming age.

"It's a bit difficult. All the iron from the past few days was used to forge steel. Uh~, now most of it has been made into production tools such as hammers, hoes, and pickaxes. The farm tools may have to... uh~, need to wait until the anvil is ready!" Hei Song said with a burp. Although it was not good to drink so early in the morning, this was his rare vacation, so let him relax for a while.

"The anvil... That's right. The last batch of cast iron sickles were so rusted after the typhoon that they were almost unusable. If they can be made into steel, they should be more durable, right?" Juan Hua said as he scratched his ear with a feather pen.

"No! Steel will rust too!"

"Well, we need to find a way to prevent steel from rusting..."

The two adults, one sober and the other drunk, both sighed from the bottom of their hearts. They found that their technological development was beginning to slow down.

Thinking back to when Juan Hua was Shu Shan's assistant, the technological development was booming, and the Cat-Eared Tribe couldn't reach the upper limit even if they worked at full capacity, which gave them the illusion that they were omnipotent...

However, illusions are illusions after all. The deduction and accumulation of knowledge takes time. It seems that Shushan has the knowledge of the information age, which can speed up the development of technology...

"Um, Mom and Dad, can we use magic to stop steel from rusting?" Su Ju raised her hand weakly and suggested.

"Magic... I'm sorry, I can't do it..." Heimong thought seriously for a while before saying.

Juan Hua smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

Touching my daughter's nose with a quill:

"We don't have that kind of magic, and the known magic can't achieve the effect of rust prevention. Well, it's not ruled out that it can be done, but we don't have the relevant knowledge."

"Magic is so unreliable! The things it produces are too volatile!" Hei Song suddenly knocked the table lightly with a cup, and said with a look of resentment, "Different cats produce quartz with different hardness at different times and in different states? We need to be more, uh~, more... uh~"

As Hei Song was talking, his hiccups turned into burps. It seemed that he was so excited that he convulsed...

Suju looked at her father speechlessly.

You guys should drink something.

Ah, but Heisong is not old either. He is not even thirty years old this year, which is the strongest age for the cat-eared tribe.

Juan Hua shook her head helplessly. Her daughter and husband were both reasons that made her worry... She took out a bottle of cold-brewed Dream Night Flower juice, smeared a drop with the pad of her palm, and applied it on Heisong's nose.

Hei Song's hiccups were suppressed immediately, and even his drunkenness was somewhat reduced, from being drunk to being tipsy...

Well, this is the Nightmare Flower essential oil that was carefully processed by the potion master. Only five bottles can be extracted from one hundred Nightmare Flowers. It is very precious and Juan Hua usually doesn't want to use it...

"A little drinking can make you happy, but heavy drinking can harm your body, brother Heisong." Juanhua smiled secretly and put away the crystal bottle.

"Whose brother..." Heisong muttered softly, but the cat-ear tribe has excellent hearing, and both mother and daughter heard clearly what he said.

"Okay, okay, it's not brother, it's not brother... Speaking of which, you are going to study the ship with Akagi and Mumu tonight, right? So don't get too drunk." Juanhua patted Heimong's head lovingly.
