Chapter 184: Chapter 138: Ultra Fat Dragon Poop_2
Translator: 549690339
The being of ultimate truth, an existence even more terrifying than a magic tutor. If it wasn’t for its humanoid form that limited some of its power, its dragon majesty alone could make ninety percent of the people here prostrate before it.
Ah, what a pity that this guy always ends up losing face in front of Ange and Negris, to the point where it doesn’t even dare to raise its voice. That’s why it gives off the impression of being weak and easy to bully. Heh, that’s not its true nature.
With the Teleportation Array set up, everyone couldn’t wait to start communicating with the Resting Abyss. The first things teleported over were several tons of food and a tree seedling.
“Eating these green dates for a meal is okay. Eating them for every meal though, I’m getting acid reflux. If we keep this up, we’re definitely going to get gastric ulcers and die here, becoming the first Titans to be killed by green dates!” said Purple Corpse, expressing his distaste.
“Yes, yes, yes, and the first unicorn to be poisoned by green dates.” Lightning, unusually, shared a common enemy with Purple Corpse.
Feeling embarrassed, Sofia responded, “Isn’t there also mutton? And we eat green dates every day too, but we don’t seem to be getting poisoned.”
Lisa snorted, “You say there’s no issue? In all the time that I and Lan have been here, most of the patients we have treated have digestive problems. The older they are, the more severe their problems. Your diet is too monotonous.”
Sofia helplessly said, “There’s nothing we can do. There’s very little that we can grow in the Oasis. The only thing that can fill our stomachs is the green date. I also want to eat sweet beets and corn, but they just won’t grow. Wait a minute, save me some.” Saying so, she also rushed to grab some food.
Ange planted the World Tree seedling that was teleported over on the sand dune and started planting large amounts of Axe Potato and green date trees. Then he stepped onto the imprint.
With increasing usage, Ange’s command of the Instant Death Halo became more proficient and intuitive. For example, he doesn’t need the grass to grow to maturity before he can harvest it, they just need to take root.
Thus, he chose grass species with extremely large root systems that can grow deep and stable. Then he accelerated their growth just slightly, creating a large area of grass carpet while using very little Soul Flame.
The grass carpet was divided by the sand people and then spread over the sand dunes at regular intervals. After it was laid, the Axe Potato and green date trees were interplanted in the intervals, and the Halo was activated again.
It only takes a short time for all the grass squares, Axe Potato, and green date trees to put down deep roots, passing the most critical rooting period.
By doing so, the amount of Soul Flame that could only ripen a crop once was enough to allow ten times as many grass squares, Axe Potato, and green date trees to take root, covering an even larger area.
Of course, the drawback is also very clear. These crops need to go through a whole growth cycle, a whole half year. The green date trees are cut from shoots, but they also need to go through one to two years of growth before they start to bear plentiful yields.
During this time, they will have to withstand the harsh climate of the desert.
However, both the grass mat and green dates are native to the desert, and the environment in which the Axe Potato grows is also very similar to that of the desert. The only difference is the soil composition – the sandy soil in the desert is too infertile. They will have to figure out a way to add fertilizer later.
Naeli hesitated to approach Ange when she heard that he was looking for fertilizer. Shooing Negris away, she said, “Uh, Ange…um…I heard you’re looking for fertilizer?”
Ange nodded.
“Well, you should know. Our dragon…uh…dragon dung has a very strong effect. And I’ve been here in the desert for a very long time…” Naeli stammered. Ange tilted his head, not understanding what she was implying.
Negris leaned in, “Oh, I understand. You’ve been here so long, where you’ve been nesting is full of dragon dung you’ve been leaving for over a thousand years.”
Before he could finish, he was scratched all over by Naeli’s paw. “Dragon your head, dung your head. We female dragons don’t poop. Even if we do, it’s fragrant!”
Negris, covering his head, ran away confused. What kind of logic was that?
Via the newly established Teleportation Array, everyone arrived at the cave where Naeli had once dwelled.
“That passage over there leads to my bathroom. Apart from me, there are many birds who excrete in that hole. It has accumulated a thick pile of white bird droppings. It doesn’t smell bad because it has already dried up,” Naeli pointed and explained.
“Bird droppings? Aha, you should have said so earlier. That’s really good fertilizer!” exclaimed Negris excitedly. After saying that, he became embarrassed. He had gotten excited just because he found bird droppings. Was it because they could be used as a fertilizer? Had he become infected by that Farming Skeleton?
Deeply shocked, Negris followed everyone into the cave toward the Dragon’s toilet.
The further they went, the stronger the wind grew. The front also became brighter, and suddenly the area opened up.
“Uh, this is your so-called ‘hole’?” Negris questioned.
What appeared in front of everyone was a huge ravine, like a split in the earth. It fell into a deep crack and extended all the way to the horizon.
Their current location was on the upper part of the ravine wall. Just beneath it was a cliff several hundred meters high. Naeli could just lift her butt here and dump down there. It was convenient and clean.
There was a strong wind in the ravine, and directly below them was a black, volcano ash-like material. It doesn’t look anything like dung. It was clearly wind-eroded.
Apart from this ‘volcano ash’, the bottom of the ravine was covered in a white, salt-like substance. Numerous birds flew in the air, occasionally dropping things which fell freely to the bottom of the ravine.
