Chapter 50 – Catch humans, plant potatoes
Big Grey Wolf and Polikri were dumbfounded by the Black Dragon's roar. Although they were utterly confused, they obediently lay on the ground and rolled away to face the wall.
Yet, their "囧" shaped expressions betrayed the grievance in their hearts.
Clearly, it was the master's order.
In truth, they didn't want to do it either...
Cold and hard.
But it was the master's command, and the master's command was like a divine decree. Even if it were a fire elemental leader, they would still have to do it!
Even if it meant becoming a roast turkey.
Su Nian glanced coldly at the aggrieved Polikri and Big Grey Wolf, then turned his attention back to the two miserable female Rock-Helmed Crocodiles.
The two Rock-Helmed Crocodiles lay limply on the ground, their short, stubby crocodile claws weakly scratching at the earth.
Their soft, white crocodile bellies were exposed, turning coquettishly.
Their misty crocodile eyes were filled with shame and humiliation, even squeezing out a few tears.
Su Nian shook his dragon head and sighed, lamenting the fickleness of the world and the loss of the beasts' primal spirit.
He was about to turn his head to comfort the male Rock-Helmed Crocodiles when he noticed they had all flipped onto their backs, bellies up.
Su Nian: "……(≖_≖ )"
Crocodiles shouldn't, at least they shouldn't.
Perhaps they actually enjoyed this?
Su Nian suddenly felt that maybe the Rock-Helmed Crocodiles were having fun and didn't need his comfort.
"Rock-Helmed Crocodile leader, come here."
The Rock-Helmed Crocodile leader, who had been furiously rubbing against the sand, shivered at Su Nian's command, flipped over, and crawled to Su Nian's side.
"From now on, your name is Rektun! It means Desert Butcher, and I hope you live up to this great name."
"Master, why not Swamp Butcher?"
Su Nian's dragon face twitched at the words, and he raised his dragon claw, pounding it on Rektun's head as he roared:
"When I say your name is what it is, it is! Why so much nonsense?"
"Tell me, is there a yellow, spherical plant growing in clusters in the swamp?"
"Whimper..."
Rektun whimpered in grievance, struggling to pull his head out of the dirt, shook his big head, thought for a moment, and replied:
"The plant Master mentioned should be Dungberry, but they're buried deep. Shall I dig one up for you to see?"
Su Nian: "..."
Damn Dungberry, what the hell, who the hell named it, everything looks like crap?
Suppressing the urge to retort, Su Nian tiredly waved his dragon claw, signaling Rektun to dig up the Dungberry.
Before long, Rektun returned with a cluster of potato-like plants in his mouth.
These Dungberries were much larger than the potatoes on Earth, about the size of a basketball, with a bumpy surface covered in dirt, indeed resembling dung balls.
Just curious about the taste.
With curiosity, Su Nian easily sliced open a Dungberry with his dragon claw, revealing a tender, powdery yellow core similar to a potato, which looked quite appetizing.
"Bugs Bunny, come here."
Hearing the Black Dragon's call, Bugs Bunny stood up, walked over with a swagger.
"Spit fire."
Bugs Bunny dared not delay, making a "crackling" sound in his throat.
Like an old-fashioned flint lighter, after a few "cracks," he finally "poofed" out a flame.
"Good, keep going, if you feel like you're running out, let your little brothers take turns."
Thus, on the edge of Silvermoon Swamp.
Under the curious gaze of a group of magical beasts.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
A Black Dragon over four meters long, with a wingspan of seven or eight meters, was using its sharp dragon claw to skewer a yellow potato, roasting it.
Beside the Black Dragon, a line of Blazing Rabbits took turns contributing their flames.
It wasn't that Su Nian didn't want to use a dry branch to roast; he mainly wanted to train his followers' abilities, definitely not because he was lazy.
Seeing it was almost done, Su Nian exchanged for salt and cumin from the System Shop, sprinkling these soul seasonings onto the otherworldly potato.
Before long, the alluring aroma of roasted potato began to spread from the Black Dragon's center.
The roasted potato was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, golden yellow, and fragrant, causing the surrounding magical beasts to drool, their eyes shining. They had never seen such delicious food.

[Rektun Affection +8]
Su Nian looked around at the magical beasts in surprise.
Thinking to himself, a bunch of foodies, just watching him roast a potato increased their affection, following him to eat and drink well every day, it would be hard not to become 100% loyal.
"Do you want to eat?"
Su Nian used his dragon claw to hold the roasted otherworldly potato, waving it in front of each magical beast's nose in the inner circle.
The magical beasts followed Su Nian's movements, rotating their necks, eyes shining, nodding like crazy.
The roasted potato made a round and finally ended up at Su Nian's mouth, where he opened wide and swallowed it.
"Delicious~"
Su Nian squinted his eyes, chewing with a look of enjoyment.
This was the taste, the long-lost roasted potato.
And it was even more fragrant, rich, soft, and crispy than the potatoes from his previous life, with a hint of salty aroma on the crispy outer skin.
The surrounding magical beasts watched as the delicious roasted potato disappeared, their eyes filled with disappointment, and seeing their Black Dragon leader enjoying it, they felt even more envious.
After finishing the roasted potato, Su Nian's dark golden eyes scanned the surrounding magical beasts. He grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, and said with a sinister smile:
"Kekeke... from now on, this plant will be called potato!"
"Want to eat roasted potatoes? It's not hard; there are many potatoes here, but sooner or later, we'll eat them all."
"Do you know how to have an endless supply of potatoes?"
The magical beasts shook their heads, only Polikri and Big Grey Wolf looked thoughtful.
"As long as we capture humans to plant potatoes for us, we'll have an endless supply of potatoes!"
Upon hearing this, the magical beasts' eyes instantly turned red.
They panted heavily, seemingly unable to wait.
"Moreover, if we don't enslave the humans outside Silvermoon Forest, they'll snatch our potatoes!"
Whoosh—
A gust of wind swept through, and the magical beasts' killing intent almost became tangible, distorting the air.
"So, do you know what to do?"
Su Nian raised his fierce dragon head, spreading his black wings wide, casting a massive shadow over the magical beasts under the sunlight.
"Capture humans, plant potatoes!"
No one knew which magical beast first shouted this slogan, but soon, a thunderous roar followed:
"Capture humans, plant potatoes!"
At this moment, despite being different species and speaking different languages, their beliefs and determination miraculously aligned.
