Chapter 306 - Drought Crisis (1/2)

“Where’s Curtis? He must be furious.”

Bai Qingqing had a huge headache. She wondered if the females of this world were taught how to control their mates at a young age. Every one of them had so many males, and yet they all seemed fine. She, on the other hand, couldn’t even act as a mediator for two males.

Parker comforted her, saying, “Don’t think too much. Curtis said he’s heading out for a few days. He even told me to focus on hunting and get Winston to protect you.”

Bai Qingqing was surprised. “Is he going far away?”

The white tiger lying down in the corridor suddenly raised his head. He could be Bai Qingqing’s personal bodyguard for the next three days? The corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

“What did he go out for?” Bai Qingqing placed a hand on Parker’s shoulder and asked him impatiently. She had forgotten about Parker’s injuries, and her hand was on the more badly bruised area that she had massaged.

Parker frowned and endured the pain without moving. “He said he’s going to check on the water source flowing towards the City of Beastmen. He told me to make more stone tools because we might need to store water,” he said.

“Will the river dry up during the hot season?” Bai Qingqing was immediately reminded of the word “drought”—something she regularly saw on “Animal World”. Wilted grass, a dried-up river, thousands of beastmen huddling over a tiny puddle of mud…

Bai Qingqing began to worry deeply.

“It dries occasionally, but the lake in the Camel Hump Valley is very deep. We won’t run out of water,” Parker said.

Bai Qingqing still remembered the clear lake—that was where she and Curtis had met back then. She felt much more relieved since it was such a large body of water.

…

Curtis swam to one of his old nests at the waterfall. The water in the waterfall had thinned out, revealing his cave behind it.

“Ssss~” Curtis flicked out his tongue. The lack of moisture in the air caused his brows to knit together more tightly.
