Chapter 729: Cough Cough Cough, Hurry Up And Show So Concern
After Gu ngng told them about Cole’s situation, Lea smiled and poked her little head. “Don’t worry, Cole has just brought Chixuan sowhere with a good water source. He might be a stray beast now but is already used to a comfortable lifestyle. He will never endure thirst.”
“Really?” Gu ngng was still quite dubious.
Lea nodded his guarantee. With his understanding of Cole, he was sure of it.
Lea was always right.
With this thought, Gu ngng felt more reassured.
Stroking Lea’s face, Gu ngng asked with a frown, “Why have you beco so skinny? I have just slept for two days and your eye bags have all co out.”
Lea’s heart ward on hearing Lea’s concern for him, yet he didn’t want her to worry. He exaggerated his weak condition and put up a fuss. Wrapping his tail around Gu ngng’s arm, he put on a “cough cough cough, hurry up and show so concern” face. He whined. “There are not enough water sources in the territory. I have been working so hard these past two days to seek out new water sources, but to no avail... look, my legs have slimd down from all that running around. I need ngng to massage them.”
Seeing that he still had the heart to make a fuss, she knew that he should be fine even though he looked rather tired.
As such, she gave him a push and snuggled back into Elvis’ arms. “What was the situation like in the past?”
Seeing that Gu ngng wasn’t convinced by his performance, Lea stopped his charade and put on a serious face. “In the past, there were only three females and over a hundred males. But this year, we have 19 females and more than 300 males. So...”
Gu ngng propped her cheek on her palm. She had forgotten about the increase in population.
Gu ngng rembered Sandy telling her before that water beca scarce once the winter season arrived. Even females were only allowed to use the water for drinking, and could not use the water for bathing. Males generally didn’t even touch the water, and would just drink the blood of their prey as a water source.
It could be seen how urgent the water situation was in Saint Nazaire during the winter dry season.
Gu ngng held her head as she thought for a mont. “Apart from that small stream and that lake, what other designated water sources do we have?”
Elvis shook his head. “That small stream still has water and Lea has already instructed the males to hurry up and make more wooden pails to store the water. However, there is also a limit to the amount of water we can store in those pails. Even if we don’t finish drinking it in a few days, it would eventually all leak out. But other than that, we don’t really have any other better thods.”
The wooden pails were constructed by digging a hole into the middle of a piece of wood. Although there were no gaps, wood itself was perable and was not suitable as a material for long-term storage.
Gu ngng thought for a mont before standing up. “Co with for a walk.”
Elvis and Lea did not hesitate. No problem was more important than Gu ngng.
So what if there was no water source? They would not let Gu ngng go thirsty even if they had to go steal from another tribe.
As for the life and death of others... what did it matter to them?
Elvis carried Gu ngng while Lea walked beside him. Walking out of Elvis’ territory, Auretin and Ian also followed.
Yeah, the entourage of the ssenger of the Beast Deity was rather complete.
“Every year during the dry season, is there any part of our territory where the vegetation does not seem that affected?” Gu ngng asked.
Lea’s eyes brightened. “Do you an...”
