Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

"What? You really allowed that intelligent creature to learn our language?"    

In the command room, a group of shrimp people looked at the 3D image on the stone table and slammed the table in shock.    

Unlike the Exploration Team outside, the shrimp people in the command center knew how difficult it was to let outsiders learn the language of fire. Putting aside those complicated and abstract gestures, just the difference in body was enough to decide everything.    

No carapace, no tail, no appendages, no six legs. This also meant that almost 90% of the words could not be expressed, and this was even without counting the runes. And without so many words... could it really be considered a language?    

But now...    

The prawn man in the 3D image was full of confidence. No matter how one looked at it, it did not look like he was lying.    

Glancing at the shrimp people who were intensely discussing in the command center, Du Kang had a rough idea of what they were thinking.    

After these planet natives learned the shrimp language, they had started to be valued by the shrimp people. If the shrimp people did not put these planet natives in their eyes before, then these horse-faced rivers at least had something special about them.    

However, they were only being paid attention to. These hippo-faced planet natives were still a bit too weak - - - they might not even be able to beat the shrimp people's terrifying claws.    

According to the relationship between the Dreadclaw and the shrimp people... these hippogryphs couldn't even beat a pet dog.    

But pet dogs didn't know how to speak.    

Useless.    

Du Kang suddenly thought of the story that had something to do with Cao Cao. Right now, these horse-faced natives were indeed of little value to the shrimp people. It would be very troublesome to receive them, but it would be a pity if they did not accept them.    

The shrimp people in the command room swung their limbs intensely, but they still did not come up with any results. Looking at the swaying limbs of the prawns, Du Kang also had a deeper understanding of the situation of the prawns.    

The shrimp people in the past would definitely not be as inefficient as them.    

They each had their own views, but they could not quickly come to a consensus. For the shrimp people who had always been united, this was undoubtedly a sign of division.    

Du Kang knew that Sunday had called him over for this reason, but he did not expect the situation to be so serious.    

"Alright!"    

Bang!    

A violent explosion rang out in the command room, and a large cluster of flames suddenly exploded.    

Looking around at the prawns who were stunned on the spot, Du Kang raised his appendages and pointed at the three-dimensional image on the table.    

"Let's see the results of that planet's native's studies first."    

————————    

On the light-green planet, in the forward base.    

The prawns of the Exploration Team were shocked by the movement in the 3D image, but when they saw the tall fellow in the commander's uniform, they felt relieved.    

It wouldn't be a big deal if there was a commander in the scene.    

"Let that planet native say a few words."    

In the 3D image, the shrimp man wearing the commander's accessory swung his arms.    

Sure enough, it's coming.    

Behind the prawn man, a prawn man was gesticulating at Puja.    

"No problem, right?"    

Puja was not the Puja from three months ago. Since his living conditions had improved a lot, Puja was no longer as skinny as when he was a slave. His body was much sturdier than before, and even his face was much redder.    

Seeing the six-legged terrestrial species drawing the limbs in front of him, Puja gave a simple and honest smile.    

After spending some time with them, Puja could be considered to have gained a lot of understanding about these tall terrestrial species. Although they looked fierce, they didn't get along very well in the beginning. But after a long time, Puja realized that they were actually very easy to get along with.    

As for the beating he received at the beginning... Puja... After a while, he finally understood. None of these tall terrestrial species could make a sound. He could only use a relatively intense method to understand their language.    

At least the effect was not bad.    

"Don't worry, the problem is, I don't have it"    

Puja raised both of his hands and gestured at the Six Legged terrestrial species in front of him.    

His movements were not fast, nor were they as smooth as the prawns' movements. However, the prawn man still understood what Puja wanted to express.    

Very good, that was enough.    

"Just relax a little when you talk to the officer later." The shrimp man explained to Puja, "But be careful, we are just a civil organization. We just need to call the military officers. Don't try to use some weird names on them just because they have a high military rank. Something will happen. "    

"Okay."    

Puja nodded, indicating that he understood.    

Puja had actually experienced what the other party had said. When he had just learned this body language, Puja had once called these Six Legged terrestrial species Heavenly God. After all, based on the abilities that the other party displayed, they were indeed not much different from Heavenly Gods. After that, Puja received a fierce beating.    

Calling them Heavenly God meant attitude, and it also meant the way to get along with them. This was what those Six Legged terrestrial species taught him.    

Puja could feel that these Six Legged terrestrial species did not treat him as a slave. Instead, they treated him as something that his limited vocabulary could not express.    

He could not describe this feeling.    

But this feeling was not bad.    

Even though Puja didn't know the names of these Six Legged terrestrial species, just like these Six Legged terrestrial species didn't know his name.    

Puja could only learn the word "people of fire." He couldn't understand the more complicated names. Similarly, the prawns could not speak, nor could they express the word "Puja."    

But that was not important.    

Looking at the tall six-legged terrestrial species in front of him, Puja stretched out his arm.    

The shrimp man was a little stunned, but he still raised his limb and exchanged a punch with Puja.    

Puja smiled happily.    

It was enough.    

After withdrawing his fist, Puja turned around and walked towards the illusory 3D image.    

Now it was time for him to do something.    

————————    

Looking at the short and fat figure in the 3D image that looked like a hippocampus, Du Kang's appendages rhythmically knocked on the stone table.    

"Yes, sir. We pay our respects to you."    

In the 3D image, the short and fat figure gestured with his hands.    

Looking around, Du Kang could see that the shrimp people in the command room were all shaking their heads silently.    

It was true that they had mastered the language, but it was too clumsy.    

However, at this level, it was inevitable that they would be abandoned.    

"I won't say any more nonsense." Du Kang waved his arms and legs. "There is only one question. What can you bring to the people of Fire?"    

In the three-dimensional image, the short and fat figure was stunned.    

He clearly did not expect that the other party would be so direct.    

"I don't know. I, food, i, eat..."    

The short and fat figure gestured in a disorderly manner, but it caused the prawns in the command room to sigh.    

"What is he talking about?"    

Some shrimp people were gesturing with their appendages.    

"Does he want to treat himself as food?"    

"Do we lack this food?"    

Boom!    

A violent explosion interrupted the prawns' movements.    

"Enough!"    

Du Kang retracted his appendages.    

"Let him continue."    

"I, don't know, i..."    

The short and fat figure still struggled to wave his hands, as if trying to say something.    

Seeing the other party's reaction, even Du Kang shook his head.    

This way, definitely not... mm?    

What... was this?    

The short and fat figure flew up.    

It was not appropriate to call it flying. Strictly speaking, it should be jumping up. Shaking his short and thick hands and feet, the short and fat figure in the image dragged his slightly bloated body and quickly danced some kind of strange dance.    

There was nothing to see in the dance. It was stiff and did not have any sense of beauty. However, the prawns and Du Kang in the command room did not think so.    

Because this wasn't a dance.    

This was language.    

This short and fat hippocampus face was using his own method to imitate the bodies of the prawns, trying to express the language of the prawns.    

Furthermore...    

"I don't know what I can do to the people of fire. I don't know how to use runes, and I don't know how to fight. I used to be just a slave. But they let me know that I can still live in another form. That's why I want to do something for them."    

" Even if my life isn't valuable "    

"Sir, I'm finished."    

The short and fat figure stopped moving and panted heavily, even coughing violently.    

Du Kang could see that this intense movement had a huge burden on the hippocampus face's body.    

In the 3D image, a shrimp man wanted to help this short and fat figure up, but the short and fat figure replied with a raised fist.    

The fist was light and weak, without any attack power.    

The shrimp man in the image was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised its limbs and collided with the short and fat figure's fist.    

A smile appeared on the stunned hippo's face, but it was quickly suppressed by a violent cough.    

And inside the command room, it was dead silent.    0

Looking around at the dull prawns around him, Du Kang slowly exhaled.    

"What do you think?"    

"I think it's possible. After all, this intelligent creature..."    

"I don't think it's possible. It's too weak."    

"I think..."    

The shrimp people once again argued. They moved their limbs like a forest that was swaying in the wind.    

Enough.    

Du Kang shook his head helplessly.    

These shrimp people... Sigh.    

"Bang!"    

A large cluster of flames erupted once again.    

"There's no need to say anymore. Continue the plan and prepare for follow-up support."    

Sighing, Du Kang turned around and left the command room.
