Chapter 601 - Three Four-Striped Mermen (1/2)

“So those tribal heads have four animal stripes? They’re way too formidable.” Bai Qingqing frowned, worry written all over her face.

Actually, that did make sense. With ten thousand beastmen in the City of Beastmen, combined with the several hundred beastmen in neighboring villages, there were only four four-striped beastmen. As for the merfolk tribe, they had hundreds of thousands of mermen, so it shouldn’t be surprising that they had several four-striped beastmen amongst them.

Bai Qingqing was so anxious that her breathing quickened. Winston quickly patted her back to soothe her. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of these matters. Just stay in the village with peace of mind.”

“Then, how many four-striped mermen were there? Will you and Curtis be able to defeat them if you combine forces?” Still worried, Bai Qingqing asked as she gazed at Winston.

Winston, however, wore a relaxed expression, as though it was no big deal. He said confidently, “What’s there to fear about four-striped mermen on land? Even without Curtis, I can hold the situation.”

As he spoke, he sputtered with laughter. “But even if it’s in the water, Curtis won’t lose out to them. His size and level put him at an absolute advantage. I believe it’s not a problem for him to deal with three four-striped mermen.”

Winston always had a way of sounding convincing. Add to his logical reasoning, Bai Qingqing felt much more at ease now.

“Mm. Three four-striped mermen… Eh, we need to be more careful when we go to the river. It’d be bad if they emulated the alligators and launched a sneak attack.”

Confusion flashed in Winston’s eyes. “What’s an alligator?”

“I don’t know if they can be found in your world. They’re animals that float on the water surface like tree bark, with enormous mouths and a forceful bite. When other animals go near them to drink water, it’s easy for them to get bitten by the alligators,” Bai Qingqing explained casually.

Winston nodded. “Floating beast. There are many of them in the swamps. Your worry is valid, and I will raise this matter to my tribesmen.”

Bai Qingqing felt gleeful about getting his approval.

“As for the tiger beastmen, I brought them over from the smaller villages. They heard that there are many females in our village and wish to come here to look for a mate,” said Winston.

“The village really looks different every day.” Bai Qingqing couldn’t help sighing as she watched the lively scene outside.

Winston also gazed downwards. He said, “We’re letting them familiarize with the surroundings today, and tomorrow we will begin construction of the city walls.”
