It was impossible to use a completely straight pipe. There must be bends. Bai Qingqing thought about it for a while and decided to do batches of small sections of circular pipes. With that, these circular sections would be used to connect the straight pipes after a certain length.

The mold was carved out from wood. Then, they were rinsed in cold water. Although the final product was coarse, it was considered a success. It effectively resolved the issue of allowing the water pipes to bend.

Bai Qingqing and her mates worked hard at home for two to three days before finally making enough water pipes.

On the other side, the wild snakes were also almost done checking on the scorpion caves. Curtis drew a simple distribution map on the ground, locking onto a generic perimeter.

“The area is neither considered big nor small. We’ll surround this plot of land, and the eagle beastmen can fly to that place to keep a tight surveillance. When the scorpion beastmen gush out from the caves, we’ll charge up and kill them.” Winston pointed on the distribution map.

Bai Qingqing nodded. Although this method was simple and coarse, they couldn’t pick any faults with it.

“I just don’t know if we can guide the water into the caves.” Although Winston said that, he picked up a chunk of water pipe as thick as a person’s head. His eyes gleamed with an anticipatory glow.

Bai Qingqing touched the plastic water pipes that were sturdy as cowhide, causing them to make crisp colliding sounds, and said, “Let’s try them out tonight.”

“Us?” Curtis squinted his eyes.

Bai Qingqing’s confidence immediately dissipated, and her shoulders shrank. She wore a pleading expression. “Let me go along too. I’m afraid that you guys will do it wrongly. Let Winston get an eagle beastman to protect me. Once something is wrong, I’ll leave right away. Moreover, if I stay at home, you guys will still have to get one of you to stay behind to protect me. It’s such a waste of talent.”

Bai Qingqing blinked her big puppy eyes, so moist that they seemed to have been dripped with rain and dew, making one unable to resist them when they focused on them.

So be it. With the protection of an eagle beastman, Snow would be able to retreat anytime.

Curtis met her gaze for a while before conceding, saying in a harsh tone, “Put on more clothing.”

Bai Qingqing was elated and nodded vigorously.

The moon was bright and the stars appeared sparse, casting layers of shadows from the trees. It was extremely quiet in the forest, with only the rustling sounds of the night wind brushing against the tree leaves.

Many black shadows darted through the forest. They were experts in laying ambushes in the forests. Even if they occasionally came into contact with plants, they could disguise it as a cool wind, moving elusively amongst the forest.

Winston poked the water pipe shallowly into a scorpion cave. He turned and threw a reluctant gaze at his mate on Parker’s back, dressed in a thin animal skin coat, gesturing for them to leave.

“Be careful.” Bai Qingqing mouthed silently, but the tiger eyes gleaming with a silver light in the dark night clearly read and understood his mate’s gaze. He nodded gently.

They then headed to a few other locations to place the water pipes, each with a strong beastman guarding them. Muir and Curtis also stayed in this area, and only Parker was left by Bai Qingqing’s side.

After everything was set up, Bai Qingqing and the group came to the nearest water source. The large facility was prepared long ago.

“Pump in the water.” The female’s crisp voice rang out abruptly in the night, sounding pleasing like the sound of spring water. The hot-blooded males present were stunned for a moment. When the leopard beastman next to the female glared toward them viciously, they abruptly came back to their senses and fought to find things to do.

Bai Qingqing didn’t neglect that momentary pause and didn’t say anything more. She grabbed tightly onto one of Parker’s fingers, watching as the others made preparations.

The water source here had a higher level. By filling the water pipes with water and then connecting them to the water source, water would flow out incessantly. However, the current water flow was too slow.
