Chapter 13: What is This, A Cat?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Peter stood under the Tree of life, still holding up his arms, waiting for the arrival of a new life. Before long, a ball of light fell on Peter’s palm. When the light faded, a cat-like creature appeared in Peter’s line of sight.

HMM?

This is a cat?

Peter judged from the size of the newborn creature. This little guy was white all over.

No! There were black hairs on the white fur. What kind of cat was this?

Peter carried the little guy back to the dining table. Well, not to eat the little guy: Peter was going to feed the little guy life energy at the dining table.

A ball of life energy flew out of the Tree of life; soon, it flew into the little guy’s mouth.

Peter patiently waited for the unknown little guy to finish absorbing the life energy. Then, the system notification appeared.

[ ancient white tiger, Level 1. It has the bloodline of an ancient God and devil. It is abnormally fierce. ]

Whoosh! Peter was shocked by the notification that appeared in front of him.

Ancient White Tiger! Just the name alone was very powerful. The Tree of life finally gave birth to a creature that could be used as a mount.

Previously, Peter had been thinking that the first to be born was a mermaid, which would be good for warming the bed in the future. The second to be born was an orca, which would be able to dominate the sea when it grew up. However, there was no creature that could be used as a mount.

The area of the island that Peter had obtained was rather big. He did not have any means of transportation, so it was very tiring to rely on his feet every day.

This was great. The Tree of life had finally given him a creature that could act as a leg strength. After the ancient White Tiger finished absorbing the life energy, it opened its small eyes.

Chi!

The little fellow opened its bloody mouth and revealed a row of sharp little teeth at Peter.

Haha!

Peter happily used his fingers to gently stroke the little fellow’s head.

“Can you understand what I’m saying?”

TSS TSS!

The ancient white tiger bared its teeth at Peter again.

It was quite fierce.

Then, Peter carried the little white tiger and walked to the lake.

He was going to introduce the white tiger to the mermaids and killer whales.

After a while, Peter came to the lake and saw that there were more energy crystals piled up.

“Elsa!”

“Killer whale!”

Peter shouted at the lake.

After a moment, the mermaids and killer whales showed their little heads at the same time.

The mermaid’s eyes were sharper, and she was the first to see the ancient white tiger in Peter’s arms.

It brought the killer whale to the lakeside quickly, and the mermaid looked curiously at the little thing in Peter’s arms.

“What… is that?”

The Mermaid’s IQ was basically no different from that of a human. Peter even suspected that when the mermaid grew up, her IQ would be even higher than his.

After all, the mermaid was a search-type creature. Without high IQ, it was impossible to survive in the ocean.

“Elsa, this is your new companion with the killer whale. It’s an ancient white tiger. You can call it a white tiger.”

The mermaid tilted her head and said, “White Tiger!”

Peter put the ancient white tiger on the ground. The little white tiger stretched out its limbs and shook its little head quickly to straighten out the tiger fur that Peter had messed up. The ancient White Tiger also saw the mermaid Huhu killer whale in front of it. The little guy walked over carefully.

It sniffed the mermaid with its nose and sniffed the killer whale.

Then, it tried to touch the lake with its small claws. It was immediately frightened by the appearance of the lake and quickly withdrew its small claws.

“Can’t it play with the water?” The mermaid asked the question in her heart.

Peter immediately said to the mermaid, “The white tiger is a creature that lives on land. It can’t stay in the water for long.”

Hearing Peter’s explanation, the mermaid blinked her eyes and said, “Oh! Then I can live on land too.”

Peter thought that the mermaid was referring to sleeping in the tent at night. However, what the mermaid said the next second shocked him. “I’m still young now. When I grow up, my tail can become a pair of legs that can walk at will.”

HMM?

The mermaid’s words surprised Peter. If he remembered correctly, when the mermaid was born, the system didn’t tell Peter the details about the mermaid. This led Peter to believe that the mermaid would grow up to be a fish with a human body and a fish tail.

Now he heard the mermaid say it herself. When it grew up, its tail could walk on two legs. It really surprised him.

Today was the fourth day that Peter had entered the island. The growth rate of the mermaid had always been in a crazy pattern. Perhaps the mermaid would grow up before the protection period ended. This was indeed a good thing for Peter.

Of course, there were also killer whales and white tigers. Similarly, the faster they grew, the better. This way, after the protection period ended, they could help Peter protect the island and do their part.

The arrival of the ancient white tiger also made the mermaid and killer whale very happy. Due to the mermaid’s special ability, she could communicate with any creature. In this way, it didn’t take long for the ancient white tiger to become intimate with the mermaid.

It seemed that they were even more intimate than Peter, which made Peter very jealous for a while.

After that, the mermaid brought the killer whale back to the lake and continued to mine energy crystals. The Little White Tiger stood by the lake and was responsible for taking care of the energy crystals on the shore.

Peter saw that the three little guys cooperated very well and left the lake with ease.

He wanted to continue building energy defense towers.

Currently, he has only built six energy defense towers.

There was still quite a bit of progress to go before he could build 112 energy defense towers.

Currently, the Tree of life produced 2,600 life energy points a day. Excluding the three little fellows’ appetite, there were probably less than 2,500 life energy points left.

It was basically equivalent to building five energy defense towers a day.

The construction speed was neither fast nor slow. It was within the normal scope of construction.

If the people outside heard this, they would definitely be angered to death. Most of the ordinary people who entered the island world would not have such a heaven-defying plant like the tree of life. According to normal development, most people’s Island would welcome the harvest a few days before the end of the protection period.

Basically, it would take about 25 days for the plants planted on the islands to bear fruit that contained life energy.

It was different from those islands that relied on normal development patterns.

Peter’s Island did not care about the life energy in the island world because of the tree of life. With the tree of Life’s heaven-defying strength, life energy could be easily absorbed by Peter.

In the afternoon, Peter asked for the mermaid’s opinion while having lunch with the mermaid over building a bigger hammock for the mermaid. In the end, the mermaid rejected it because the mermaid had taken a fancy to Peter’s sleeping bag. This made Peter feel a strange emotion.

It was very awkward! It seemed that Peter would not be able to fall asleep tonight.
