Chapter 1179: 1179

Gu Mengmeng glanced sideways at Lea . “How? Just throw Maya into the well and drown her?”

Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose . “Destroying a well for just one Maya—Mengmeng, aren’t you being too wasteful of our precious resources?”

“What should we do then?” Gu Mengmeng asked .

Lea smiled as his eyes shone with cunning . He looked very much like a breezy fox, appearing carefree and relaxed—but underneath it all, he already had you analyzed from top to bottom .

“Mengmeng, do you know when are stray beasts the most savage in general?” Lea asked softly .

Gu Mengmeng replied, “The rainy season, I think . They would be viciously snatching food from others as winter approaches . ”

Lea nodded . “And?”

“There are other periods?” Gu Mengmeng shook her head in puzzlement .

“There’s also right after the end of winter . ” Lea chuckled . “The females they kidnapped last year will typically not survive winter . They are usually either frozen or starved to death, or became food for the stray beasts . So right after the end of winter, the stray beasts will go all out to attack the tribes to kidnap new females . In the past, this usually happens during the beauty pageants, as the tribes’ strongest males would be escorting their First Beauties to the pageant . It was the best time for the stray beasts to attack a tribe . But since you made changes to the beauty pageant two years ago . this opportunity no longer existed . That was why the moment winter ended last year, the stray beasts attacked several tribes, who were all not prepared and lost many of their females . ”

Gu Mengmeng took a long while before finally understanding what Lea was driving towards .

“You want to find some men to pretend to be stray beasts to attack the tribe and kidnap Maya?” Gu Mengmeng asked .

Lea shook his head . “There’s no need to pretend . We can get real stray beasts to kidnap her . ”

Gu Mengmeng didn’t understand . “Cole is the leader of the stray beasts—why would they go against his wishes to kidnap someone he had planted here?”

Lea cleared his throat gently to cover his amusement . “Did you forget that we still have a young master of the stray beasts in our family . ”

Gu Mengmeng was momentarily taken aback . She then widened her eyes and said, “Are you referring to Chixuan? No way! I object . I will never let Chixuan get involved with Cole again . ”

“Chixuan is now in Zacharias and close to the stray beast camp . If Cole wishes to contact Chixuan, it is now easier for him than before . ” Lea patiently explained to Gu Mengmeng . “So in this way, we can test Chixuan’s attitude . If he is willing to help, it shows that he is no longer under Cole’s control . It is just that his bewitching spell is still in effect for the moment, so we cannot kill Cole . But if he is still on Cole’s side… then we don’t need to go searching for the Heart of the Desert anymore . We must immediately go to Zacharias and bring your son back at all costs . We cannot let Cole influence him any longer . ”

“But…” Gu Mengmeng was still very hesitant . People were always holding contradictory feelings . She wished to know the results but was also afraid of it . She could still remember clear the despondency in Chixuan’s eyes when she cast a bewitching spell on him to make him forget Cole . She really did not wish to see Chixuan look at her with such eyes again .

“I agree with Lea’s arrangements . ” Elvis piped up his support .

Gu Mengmeng bit her lower lip . Two against one . They had won .

“Alright, but we cannot let Chixuan come to any harm over this matter . ” Gu Mengmeng stressed .

Lea stroked Gu Mengmeng’s little head . “Cole will not be able to do anything with Peter holding fort at Zacharias . Moreover, if he really harmed Chixuan in any way, what else can he use to threaten you in future?”
