The pangolin curled up into a ball, motionless. The people outside couldn't do anything to it; its shell was so hard that their sharp beaks couldn't even poke it.

Look at that bird's beak, it's been knocked and damaged.

"I can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep, but does anyone else know how?"

"What are you doing? All of you who aren't working, come and crowd around!"

"Sir, we've found a pangolin! But we think this... is it an orc, or perhaps a half-orc?"

"It must be, otherwise your bird beak wouldn't have been unable to break through the shell of an ordinary pangolin!"

There was a group of people surrounding us, and we really had no choice but to stay focused on our work.

"Summon Lord Sid!"

Qin Yiyi sat on the back of the big tiger. After accepting that this tiger could eat so much, she was determined to earn back the food she had fed it. So now she wanted to try riding the tiger. Once she was skilled, she could ride the white tiger to explore the surrounding area and test its flying ability. If it could fly... then traveling to the surrounding cities in a day would not be a problem.

She sat on the white tiger and made herself a tiger-mounted megaphone.

"The lord has arrived! Everyone, make way!"

em.......

To be honest, this loudspeaker is a bit... a bit... awkward... She just wanted a loudspeaker, what is Sid doing? She covered her flushed cheeks and rolled off.

"What are you all doing here! Get back to work!"

These slaves! Every minute they don't work is a loss for the lord!

hateful!

She leaned closer to take a look and gestured for the cow next to her to come forward.

"Let me see it by its tail!"

The bull lifted its tail, and the pangolin managed to curl its body up on it without exposing its face.

Hey! This little guy!

Qin Yiyi's eyes darted around, and she whispered in Sid's ear, "Have the tavern make a skewer of grilled mantou slices!"

Sid nodded and turned away.

The pangolin was being held upside down on a railing by a bull-headed man using a rope.

Soon the fragrant roasted mantou slices arrived, with three slices on each skewer. Qin Yiyi took one slice and started waving it on the pangolin's head. The pangolin's head, which had been buried in its chest, gradually loosened, its scales opened, and its squinty eyes appeared in front of people. Its arched body stretched out like a little dinosaur.

His stomach was still growling, and being upside down wasn't comfortable, but he was so hungry that he really wanted to eat this fragrant slice of steamed bun.

Qin Yiyi placed the slices of steamed bread in front of her.

"Want some?"

The pangolin stared at her longingly.

"If you want to eat it, you'd better answer my questions honestly!"

"Who are you? Where did you come from? Where are you going? How did you get here?"

Unexpectedly, the pangolin stuck out its tongue and rolled up the slice of steamed bun.

In its original form, the pangolin has no teeth and its tongue can reach 40 centimeters in length. Qin Yiyi was stunned as the pangolin suddenly attacked her, snatching a piece of steamed bun from her hand.

Qin Yiyi took two steps back, keeping a distance of more than sixty centimeters.

Pangolins have long tongues that can snatch termites from inside trees, protecting forests, and they are also skilled at burrowing.

There's an oasis next to the lake in the territory, which is connected to the stream. Due to the special environment, it has all kinds of plants (this is a buff, so please assume it has all kinds of plants and don't apply it to reality). There's also a sizable forest. If she clears and opens up the territory towards this oasis, she can put the pangolin there to protect the forest and... she can also dig out a small settlement underground before winter arrives.

Storm City is just a city built underground, where it's warmer.

She can follow suit.

However, since there is only this one pangolin that has been left out, it is still possible to take it all away.

Although this pangolin couldn't be pried open by the sharp beaks of birds and beastmen, making it seem incredibly powerful to the uninitiated, it was actually completely harmless, relying solely on its scales for defense, and even those scales...

Qin Yiyi examined it closely. The scales were gray and not very hard, with some young scales still visible. This pangolin was quite young, and its body length was less than a meter. If it were to transform into human form...

She should be a child under fifteen years old, but even a child like that, considering the few little brats like Desi, whom she recently acquired, live independently.

Qin Yiyi originally intended to eat the remaining two slices of steamed bun without any mercy in front of the pangolin, but after taking a bite, she frowned. This was not a pollution-free food and it had a bitter taste. She casually threw the two slices of steamed bun to the pangolin and then wiped the crumbs off her hands on the pangolin.

"Sid, hang him up! Hang him on the flagpole of the territory! Someone will come to claim him after three days!"

If the baby pangolin doesn't come to claim it, it means it has no family.

The pangolin had just swallowed a piece of bread when it was hung on top of a railing.

No, what happened to the coercion and bribery? What happened to the food-based enticement to make him talk?

"Hey, hey, I'll talk, I'll talk, don't go, can anyone hear me?" Perhaps the top of the railing was too high, or perhaps the surroundings were too empty, no one paid attention to the pangolin, no one paid attention to this little cutie, and he was left hanging at the top like that.

This is not quite what Mommy said. Didn't she say that if anyone discovered them while she was scouting, she would half-heartedly tell them, take these people back, and then take the opportunity to let the pangolin clan come to this relatively rich land?

Join this land.

Because they had already agreed that if they couldn't win, they would join.

Waaaaah~ This isn't what Mommy said!

Jiajia is crying!

"Hey, is anyone around here?"

People from nearby have brought a large amount of supplies and several large machines to the territory. They are also busy training new people. The old slaves are being taken to take charge of the more core large machines. The new slaves have no skills and learn in the morning and clear land in the afternoon. It is said that there are techniques to clearing land.

How to clean the soil, how to fertilize it, and what to plant to make the land fertile all require some knowledge. (The crops described in this article do not correspond to the actual real world; please do not take them too seriously.)

Qin Yiyi walked on the railway tracks. In just two days, two-thirds of the new wasteland had been cleared, and the weeds showed signs of having been burned.

"My lord, we have extended the protective shield to this part of the wasteland, but we have discovered traces of other people's activities!"

"Look here, there's a huge hole. We suspect the baby pangolin hanging in the territory came out through this hole!"

Meanwhile, the pangolin mother, seeing that her child had not returned for a long time, led her eldest son through a hole in the ground to her territory.

I saw the poor little pangolin tied to the fence for trespassing.

Waaaaah~ Mommy sauce~

It's finally here!
