“The behemoth tide is coming. I’ve followed them for a few days and noticed that they’ve been moving and stopping, but would always run in this direction. They’ll come to the city one day,” Parker said worriedly, saying all these in one breath. He almost went out of breath.

Bai Qingqing wore an expression that showed that her guess was right. They would move and stop, but always accurately head toward the direction of their city. A scorpion beastman was definitely luring them over.

Winston had also come back. He shook the rainwater off his body with a composed expression. He walked over to the group steadily and said, “It might not be a bad thing for the behemoth tide to come. The village is lacking in food, and while it might still be fine in the rainy season, many would probably starve to death in the cold season. We’ll attack the behemoths preemptively, not giving them the chance to come here.”

Harvey listened quietly. The city lord’s words made a lot of sense, but after hearing Bai Qingqing’s analysis earlier, he couldn’t feel completely positive about the situation. However, his furrowed brows relaxed a little because of the food.

If scorpion beastmen were really luring the behemoths over, it would be impossible for them to stop the behemoths.

“What is it?” Winston could also tell that the atmosphere was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice.

Parker looked at everyone strangely, frowning, and said, “Those behemoths are acting very strangely. They’re clearly extremely anxious, but they move very slowly. I wonder why this is so.”

The moment he said this, Bai Qingqing’s guess was verified.

“There should be scorpion beastmen underground luring the behemoths!” Bai Qingqing said. The scorpion tribe had probably started preparing for this two months ago.

The room instantly turned dead silent. If they were invaded by the behemoths, the City of Beastmen would be a goner.

“We mustn’t let the scorpion beastmen lure the behemoths over!”

As expected of a born ruler, Winston quickly recovered his rationality and said with a sharp tone, “I’ll bring the eagle beastmen with me and search for the scorpion beastmen’s traces. Thankfully, it’s the rainy season now and the soil is waterlogged. The scorpion beastmen will definitely come out from the soil to take a breath.”

Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up. “That’s right!”

“Thank you.” Winston rubbed the head of the female who only reached the level of his chest, feeling grateful. Without her pointing this out, he’d have led the beastmen to kill the behemoths. The behemoths would then make their way to the City of Beastmen one day.

After much difficulty in creating a place where they could protect Qingqing, he didn’t dare to imagine the scene where this place would be wiped out, potentially threatening Bai Qingqing’s life.

Time was tight. Winston bore the desire of acting intimately with his mate and said to Parker and Curtis, “I’ll lead the eagle beastmen to take care of this matter. The two of you stay at home and protect Qingqing.”

After saying that, he left in huge strides before getting a reply from them.

Bai Qingqing chased him to the door, watching as Winston changed into a white tiger and left. She put her hands together and prayed silently.

As Parker had noticed this early, the behemoths were still a very far distance from the city. Winston sat on an eagle beastman whose flying speed was seriously affected due to his wings being wet and took one whole day before arriving at the behemoths’ location.

Looking down from the sky, the treetops shook non-stop, and the behemoths’ howls surged through to the clouds with seething fury. This further verified Bai Qingqing’s guess.

After experiencing the insect tide, the animals were sparse. The behemoths were hungry and angry, their eyes gleaming with viciousness. They ran amok in the forest, causing towering trees to fall one after another.

“Roar!” Winston let out a roar, and the formation of eagle beastmen dashed down uniformly.

Jumping onto the ground, Winston immediately sensed the ground trembling slightly. This place wasn’t that far off from the village. If it wasn’t for the heavy rain, their village would have sensed the tremors from the ground as well.
