Chapter 589: Sleepless Night (6)

The few wolf beastmen who were planning to do the same looked at the merman in the waterhole and backed off.

Their green glistening eyes moved, and then all of them charged out toward Ford.

“Roar!” Ford put the cubs into Becky’s arms while turning into his beast form and pouncing toward the wolf beastman in the lead. Parker also helped to protect Becky.

Bluepool immediately swam up to the water wheel and started blowing another bubble at an area where the water contained a high amount of oxygen. This time around, his efficiency was a lot higher, and another big bubble soon floated to the surface.

Several wolf beastmen had surrounded and were attacking Ford, yet Becky still wanted to get closer to him. She had just taken a step forward when her ankle was grabbed by a big icy hand. Becky was so scared that she let out a scream.

Bluepool grabbed her and dragged her into the bubble. He felt that this female from the land was a little strange.

Becky tossed the cubs aside and leaned against the edge of the bubble, screaming, “Ford, save me!”

Bluepool felt a little angry and ignored her, leaving her to sink slowly.

Ford had turned to take a look when he heard Becky’s scream, feeling worried for her and the cubs. He used his explosive attacks as a tiger beastman to push back the wolf beastmen, then turned to dash toward the bubble.

A “thud” sound rang out. As the tiger beastman entered the bubble, it immediately sank to the bottom.

The bottom of the water was so dark that it was impossible to see anything. Becky’s screaming stopped. Bai Qingqing opened her eyes wide and looked around. Other than some dim lighting on the water surface, she couldn’t see anything at all.

“Becky? Ford? Have you guys come?” Bai Qingqing asked.

“Howl—” The leopard cubs could see and gave a reply. However, Bai Qingqing couldn’t understand them.

Ford reckoned that no females could see anything here and thus openly changed into his human form. He spoke in a loud voice, “We’ve come.”

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief.

“Bluepool! Continue to blow bubbles! There are over 40 females!” Bai Qingqing shouted toward the top. She was surrounded by water, so her voice sounded very heavy as it spread out. She had no idea if her voice could reach the surface.

Very soon, Bluepool’s voice came ringing through. The merman’s voice remained clear and pleasing even at the bottom of the water. “Don’t worry.”

Parker threw the wolf beastmen off his trail and ran over to Winston, saying, “I’ve sent Qingqing to the waterhole. She wants to let all the females hide inside there.”

Winston bit onto an enemy’s neck and, with a swing of his head, sent his defeated opponent flying out. He opened his mouth and let out an enraged roar.

Roar!

Roar!

Tiger beastmen’s replies came ringing out from every corner of the village.

Some families with more males were the first to bring the females out and hurried to the waterhole.

The invaders knew that they’d have no chances should the females get into the water. They planned to group together to attack the females planning to get in the water.

Winston immediately let out another roar, stopping the tiger beastmen who had recklessly brought their females down. He then dashed rapidly toward the surrounded females and attacked.

As a four-striped beastman, he was much stronger than two- and three-striped beastmen. He couldn’t split himself up to protect all the females in the village, but he was capable of focusing on protecting a single female.

The first female entered the bubble smoothly. After reaching Bluepool, she was completely safe.

Winston then continued to head to every tree with a female and escorted them to the waterhole.

The wolf beastmen watched as the number of females decreased. They looked toward the merman in the waterhole who was blowing bubbles incessantly and a thought came to their minds.

A few wolf beastmen once again dashed toward the waterhole.

Bluepool smiled in disdain, swinging his fishtail, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He was about to dive into a great battle when the group of wolf beastmen came to a stop by the waterhole.

He was feeling stumped when a few of the wolf beastmen used their heads to overturn the water wheel.

There was a stone axle on the water wheel, so the water wheel sank when it landed into the water.

“Damn it!” Bluepool was so angry that he slapped his fishtail and reached out to grab one of the wolf beastman by the shore.

The hair of the wolf beastman erupted, and he jumped up and dodged Bluepool. This infuriated Bluepool even more.
