Dragon God, immortal

The southern end of the southern continent has a typical cold tundra climate.

The northern section has a subarctic desert climate.

Moreover, the entire southern continent is a large plain that is well-known to everyone, with at most some hills and ridges, with different concentrations of gray and white painted on the frozen soil.

In terms of climate, Bai Xue and his companions came at the wrong time. If they could come during the summer in the southern continent, both the ice and the permafrost would be much softer.

However, this aspect has naturally been taken into consideration, as the purpose of this fleet is to establish a habitable base, and the most important thing in establishing a base is...

Of course it’s farming.

You have to be self-sufficient!

Indeed, with the support of the Dragon God in the archipelago, they can indeed dispatch the Dragon God to transport supplies many times, but this plan can only be used as a backup option.

If a base can be established on the southern continent, it will naturally be possible to allow cat people or humans to immigrate here, thereby expanding the territory - most importantly the farmland - and even giving back to the archipelago instead of relying on the archipelago for supplies.

Shaking their heads, the Snow White crew began to dock the Dragon God... It was very dangerous to dock the ship without a port, especially in this... environment filled with storms and ice and snow.

Fortunately, Lord Shushan had already anticipated this situation. The Dragon Tail module of the Dragon God is a kind of anchor that can fix the ship to the sea surface relative to the seabed. This fixation is not a rigid fixation, but a tough fixation like tendons.

"I have put a lot of effort into this trip. I only have one request: lay a solid foundation, and then... help me take care of the Ice Sea." Lord Shushan said.

"I will definitely live up to the Dragon God's expectations."

Bai Xue nodded slightly.

Most of the crew members successfully disembarked. There was nothing much to say. A few had to stay on board to clean up. We couldn't leave everything to the bees, could we? Although they did clean up very hard.

At this moment, the third mate, the Bee Queen, found Bai Xue and handed him an application.

"Oh? You want a monocle?" Bai Xue blinked. Mei Feng rarely expressed any requests, and this was the first time she explicitly asked for something.

Charm Bee wrote on the ground: "We need a means of gathering intelligence, we need some references, and humans won't give me any."

The first 'we' of the Worm Queen refers to everyone including the Dragon God Fleet and all its members, because the group needs this ability, so they need this ability.

The second 'we' refers only to the Charm Bee Swarm. They do not have powerful intelligence magic of their own and can only draw on other magic.

And then the 'humans'... naturally it was the second mates. To the humans of the Kingdom of Amon, monocles had a special meaning. They couldn't control the imitations made by the plateau cat people, but they couldn't lend them out.

Bai Xue scratched his ear. He was not familiar with the behavior of the Charm Bee. However, it was just a replica monocle, so it should be fine, right?

The monocles of the cat people on the ship were all made by Bai Xue's second sister Yingyue.

It is said that it was when she first visited the kingdom.

The nobles took it out and gave it to her for ginseng.

However, she thought and analyzed carefully, replicated part of the power of the [Unnamed Lens], and produced a product called [High Replica Amon Glasses].

It’s a pity that it can only be made by Yingyue herself at present and cannot be mass-produced. The Kingdom of Amon has no reaction to this "Yiwu" behavior for the time being. After all... Yingyue spent a lot of gold on this matter, and a lot of that gold flowed into the pockets of the royal family... Don't pursue it too much after giving the money.

Bai Xue nodded. After all, the Bee Queen was the third mate on the ship and should have been equipped with glasses.

So, the Queen Bee got the monocle.

And the magic contained in the glasses.

After waiting for a while, Bai Xue saw that the Charm Bee Insect Queen had not left yet, so she asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

The Queen Bee nodded and took out another letter. The content on it made Bai Xue feel a headache: "Because of the cold weather, we need an additional 12% of magic output to maintain activity, and an additional 14% of magic output to maintain the growth of [Tasteless Fruit] and [Dew Grass]. Therefore, the magic storage of the Birch will be reduced by about %."

"Is that so? Well, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, it's a living thing that produces magic, and it's certainly not as stable as the magic produced by crystals... No, I'm not blaming you. You're all tired from the journey. Take a good rest for a few days." Bai Xue sighed. This was something that Lord Shushan had not expected.

At this time, Shushan, who was far away in the archipelago, was stunned.

Ah, this... indeed, it's lost.

Generally speaking, magical creatures have the ability to consume magic power to bring the temperature and humidity around them to a comfortable range. This is the instinctive magic of magical creatures. Many wizards develop magic by studying the instincts of monsters.

As for the charm bees... they are a bit special. They are creatures that lived tens of thousands of years ago and can be considered living fossils of primitive creatures. Not only do their individuals not have complete souls, but they even have to rely on the collective to maintain a comfortable environment.

Shushan, who failed to realize this, expressed regret for his mistake. He had forgotten that the charm bee is a kind of cold-blooded animal, and the impact of the environment on them... is actually quite large.

It seemed like he was receiving Shushan's regret.

The antennae of the swarm of charm bees moved slightly.

Does the group need us to adapt to the low temperature environment... Hmm... Wait, we have long-range attacks and intelligence gathering, and now we have to adapt to the environment...

The third deputy bee queen had no concept of tiredness. She just silently noted down these requests, climbed back to the ship silently, and lived silently...

. . . . . .

the other side.

Shushan is controlling the worker insects.

The Somarali pirates have passed through the reefs and docked their ship in their port.

In Shushan's opinion, this coral reef is incredible, because they... grow too regularly, vaguely showing the beauty of a rounded square.

"If it is not formed naturally, then the environment must have been artificially modified." Shushan thought.

For example, his Cat's Paw Islands.

It is the regular pattern of dragon.

As the pirate ship docked at the port, Somarali checked the ship again with great concern to make sure there were no bugs crawling aboard before getting off the ship with peace of mind.

Well, those bugs are big anyway. If they were hiding on the boat... they would be hard to find, so there must be no bugs following us...

Somarali was just thinking this when a 1.5-meter-long bee worker crawled onto the shore from the bottom of his boat. After being "accidentally" discovered by him, it spread its wings and fled.

In addition, there were still dozens of dark purple small worker insects left there, crawling in the dark on the ground, which immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. Some people wanted to step on the insects, but the charm bees were too flexible, so they could only step on their own feet.

"It's over, it's over, I've been retaliated against..." Soma Lali's face turned pale and he immediately came to this conclusion.

Since they can leave mines behind to hinder others' progress.

Then people can naturally leave them some small gifts.

Soma Lali thought of his hometown. There was a locust plague in his hometown and there was no food. He had to run to the river to fish for a living... As for how he became a pirate later, well, it was mostly his own choice.

Locust plague is naturally a disaster caused by locusts. The insects occupying the locust ecological niche in this world are directly translated into locusts by Shushan.

The locusts here are also insects with incomplete metamorphosis, that is, the larvae and adults look very similar, differing only in size and degree of development.

According to Somarali's experience, if he mistook the small worker insects for the young nymphs of the bee, they would grow into adults of that size as long as they were given a little time...

Therefore, it was normal for him to react so strongly. If there really were dozens of those bugs that were comparable to high-level knights...

Not to mention food, the lives of everyone on the island will be threatened!

"Hahaha, now you can also taste the feeling of unequal information, right? No, they probably can't taste it, because they haven't yet distinguished between insects with complete metamorphosis and insects with incomplete metamorphosis." Shushan laughed with a malicious intent.

As the saying goes, 'knowledge is Li Yiliang', and now this power comes in handy.

A wise man will make a mistake every time he thinks.

A fool may make many mistakes but may not succeed in one step.

Although knowledge reserves are not the key to distinguishing between the wise and the foolish, thinking that one can crush others with knowledge reserves can still make people feel that they are very smart.

"...Well, no, I'm just being clever. Don't be too proud." Shushan stopped laughing and continued to think, "They will find the size difference of adult worker insects sooner or later, but before that, can you allow me to walk around the island?"

Of course, you don't have to answer.

Shushan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

. . . . . .

The Cat's Paw Islands' frontline base in the southern continent has been officially completed.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Bai Xue looked at the courtyard in front of her and nodded with satisfaction. It took several days to finally complete it.

As the grandson of the captain of the archipelago production team, Bai Xue inherited some of Hei Song's hands-on ability. He doesn't dare to say that he can bring a cat-man to smash a blast furnace with his bare hands like Hei Song, but he should have no problem smashing a courtyard house.

The geographical environment of this area of ​​the southern continent is somewhat similar to that of the Northeast, so this low-rise building surrounded by large houses and small houses is more suitable for living than three-story large houses.

Low-rise buildings are conducive to the use of geothermal energy.

The ridged roof is conducive to ventilation and warmth.

The enclosed courtyard gives people a sense of security.

To sum up, the "courtyard-style architecture" proposed by Mr. Shushan does have its merits.

"Next, I should try to cultivate the fields... Tsk, in this damn place, it's good enough to have one season a year that is suitable for farming... Should I try out the greenhouse technology?" Bai Xue muttered to herself.

The wisdom of Master Shushan is known to everyone in the archipelago. Even the sparrows flying in the forest are aware of Master Shushan's foresight.

It’s a pity that the cat people can only replicate a little bit of the wisdom. The time they have been developing is still too short, and many of the basic infrastructures are still not complete.

Finally, after some field investigation, Bai Xue came to the conclusion that greenhouses are indeed useful.

The southern region of the southern continent.

There is polar day and polar night.

The sun may occasionally set during the polar day period, but the sky remains bright most of the time. The temperature in the first season of the polar day is slightly higher, so cold-resistant crops such as barley can be grown.

Well, the yellow potatoes brought from the kingdom should be okay too. The yield per mu of that thing is ten times that of highland barley. Of course, the water content of yellow potatoes is much higher than that of highland barley, but the filling effect is unparalleled.

As for the polar night… the sun may shine obliquely on the earth, but after the permafrost freezes, nothing can be grown, so at most two crops can be grown in a year, and the latter season must be kept warm in a greenhouse…

"That's it. That's our current strategy. Any questions?" Bai Xue called a meeting of all the captains and vice-captains.

"No problem. The Earth Dragon God's followers are undoubtedly capable of farming. I'll leave this matter to you to arrange." A captain of a human fishing boat said, "Also, we found that there are many small fish under the ice nearby. It would be great if we could be allowed to fish under the ice."

"Okay, let the Mumu Dragon God go with you. It would be great if we could eat some fish." Bai Xue nodded, signaling the Mumu to assist the human fishing boat.

Oh, although Shushan called these human sailboats "fishing boats", in fact, they are all ocean-going fishing boats, or the full name is - ocean-going whaling ships!

About the whaling tradition of the kingdom's fishermen.

Shushan couldn't tell whether they were good or bad.

After all, in an era of material scarcity, a whale can not only provide humans with a large amount of meat, but can also extract precious items such as whale oil, whale bones, and ambergris.

As for whales… they are said to be favored by the sea goddess Thetis, and they are basically giant monsters. Even if a whaling ship finds a whale, the chances of winning or losing are only 50-50…

According to the records in Amon's soul box, the ocean is not under Amon's control. It is the territory of a Titan goddess named Thetis. Yes, her territory is ridiculously large. She is actually the favorite disciple of God.

Soon, the Mumu took two human fishing boats to fish around the ice.

Captain Mumu looked pleased.

It completely inherits Mumu’s thoughts.

He likes to catch unknown fish in unfamiliar environments. Well, this captain is a wild fishing enthusiast.

The three ships left after the meeting, the Juanhua and the two Dragon Gods stayed on standby, and most of the cat people were on standby on land.

At this time, Qi Qi's professional skills finally came into play. She was not recruited as the first mate because of her sailing skills, but because she was a priestess of the Dragon God, and the fire magic taught by the Fire Dragon God was top-notch!

"First this, then that... done! Lord Guangre, the pot you gave me is really not easy to use. Please forgive me for turning it into a cooking bucket!" Qi Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead.

She is one of the rare cat-people who possesses both the [Dragon Scale Shield] and the [Dragon Breath Gun] medals. Her status on the plateau is second only to the high priest Susu.

But she resolutely followed the boat.

Really thoughtful.

Qi Qi is very skilled in the [Dragon Breath Magic]. She can make a fire even in the most difficult environment. Even if she can't make a fire, she can use the light and heat [Static High Temperature Magic] to heat a large metal pot like an induction cooker.

Oh, now it should be called a "barrel". Such a barrel can cook dishes for a hundred people at the same time, as long as the heat is controlled well... and the Dragon God Priest is best at controlling the heat.

"We need to add some fennel. Let me try to find some..."

Qi Qi nodded his chin and turned back to search in the supply box.

Suddenly! A sound of breaking water came from not far away. Qi Qi turned around suddenly and found a strange-looking creature with several light blue little demons appearing nearby!

That thing had a big head, and under it were eight crab-like limbs, but its head was round and barrel-shaped... It ran diagonally towards the cat-man's kitchen and knocked over Qiqi's big barrel...

Knocked over the Dragon God Priest's barrel...

Overturned their lunch...

Qi Qi was stunned at first, and then his whole body was burning with visible anger: "Fuck you!!!"
