Chapter 729: Cough Cough Cough, Hurry Up And Show Me Some Concern

After Gu Mengmeng told them about Cole’s situation, Lea smiled and poked her little head . “Don’t worry, Cole has just brought Chixuan somewhere 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 Mengmeng 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 Mengmeng felt more reassured .

Stroking Lea’s face, Gu Mengmeng asked with a frown, “Why have you become so skinny? I have just slept for two days and your eye bags have all come out . ”

Lea’s heart warmed 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 Mengmeng’s arm, he put on a “cough cough cough, hurry up and show me some 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 slimmed down from all that running around . I need Mengmeng 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 Mengmeng 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 Mengmeng propped her cheek on her palm . She had forgotten about the increase in population .

Gu Mengmeng remembered Sandy telling her before that water became 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 Mengmeng held her head as she thought for a moment . “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 methods . ”

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 permeable and was not suitable as a material for long-term storage .

Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment before standing up . “Come with me for a walk . ”

Elvis and Lea did not hesitate . No problem was more important than Gu Mengmeng .

So what if there was no water source? They would not let Gu Mengmeng 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 Mengmeng while Lea walked beside him . Walking out of Elvis’ territory, Auretin and Ian also followed .

Yeah, the entourage of the Messenger 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 Mengmeng asked .

Lea’s eyes brightened . “Do you mean…”
