Winston paused in his actions and looked toward the seedlings. âIf thereâs more rainwater, the seedlings will be in danger.â
âIâm also worried about the same thing,â Parker said.
Winston frowned and gave it some thought before tossing the stone basin to the side. He walked out of the field and let out a roar. âRoar!â
All the beastmen looked toward Winston and quickly ran over.
âTiger king, why did you call for us?â A voice from the crowd rang out to ask.
The rainwater drenched Winstonâs white hair, but it couldnât wash away his powerful aura. His tiger gaze glanced out and all the beastmen immediately turned silent, leaving only the sound of the rain and the wind.
âA heavy storm is coming soon. I recommend everyone to fence up your fields and not let the water flow in,â Winston said in a deep voice.
âThat canât be. The ape king didnât mention anything.â
âIf we let out all the water and the storm doesnât come, weâll still need to scoop water from the river later on.â
Some doubtful voices rang out from the crowd but immediately disappeared after Winston glanced over.
If the ape king was in his shoes, heâd definitely be able to convince everyone with his strong persuasive skills. However, as a fighter who hunted for food, Winston only needed a single glance to get people to submit.
âWater can be filled at any time, but thereâs only one batch of seedlings. You guys canât afford to lose them.â After saying that, Winston moved his gaze from the beastmen to the field. âParker, stop scooping the water. Letâs dig a trench to let the water out.â
Parker and Curtis had lived together under the same roof for half a year, and he had great trust in Curtisâs senses.
Curtis liked water, but even the heavy rainy season last year didnât cause him to have any change. However, this time around, he clearly revealed a pleased expression. This showed that the impending rain would be even heavier than the heavy rainy season.
Parker tossed the stone basin to the side, took on his beast form, and started digging at a corner.
When the beastmen saw that even Winstonâs field was being dug open, they started to tilt toward believing him. They returned to their own fields for their own preparation.
The tiger beastmen naturally followed Winstonâs method, digging trenches and building up a fence on the side. However, the beastmen from other tribes chose to take a more conservative method and merely used soil that was mixed with crushed stones to surround their fields.
The river was located in a lower terrain, so as the trenches were dug toward its direction, the water would just flow out. After all the water was let out, the light rain continued to drizzle down, so the seedlings wouldnât grow slowly due to a lack of water.
The seedlings in the spacious wheat field also grew very well. There was nothing to worry about.
After work in the fields was done, Winston planned on going to hunt. It was his turn to hunt today.
Parker changed into his human form and said, âIâll go.â Before Winston could give a reply, he turned into his beast form and ran off.
Winston looked doubtfully at Parkerâs back view for a moment, then washed his hands with the rainwater and headed for the City of Beastmen.
â¦
âQingqing!â Winston had just arrived at the main bedroomâs door when he instantly sensed an intense killing intent. He quickly jumped away.
An instant later, the spot where Winston had been standing earlier was replaced by Curtis, while Winston squatted on the fence.
Curtis glared at Winston, no longer sporting his casual attitude.
Winston was a lot stronger than the tiger king!
âYouâre fighting again.â Bai Qingqing quickly put on her pants, walked out, and pretended to be angry as she glared toward the back of Curtisâs head. She then said to Winston apologetically, âWinston, donât be angry. This is how Curtis is. Next time just make some sounds when you walk to let us know that youâre coming.â
âEn.â Winstonâs nose twitched. âWho is injured? No, this isâ¦â
Winston turned to look at Bai Qingqing, then his gaze dropped down.
Bai Qingqing held onto her pants. She didnât need to look down to sense where Winston was looking at. She smiled sheepishly, feeling helpless inside. No one was able to understand such awkwardness unless they had experienced it themselves.
Curtis walked over to stand in front of Bai Qingqing, blocking Winstonâs assessing view. The two strong fighters looked at each other without saying a word, with intense battling sparks flying between them.
