They had no bricks so Gu Mengmeng had some people retrieve two large stone slates and then directed Elvis and Lea to demonstrate how to cut the stone slates evenly into multiple pieces, before setting them at the mouth of the well.

  Lea had seen water wells before at Sauder so he more or less knew how to perform the task. As such, there was no need for Gu Mengmeng to worry.

  After settling everything, the problem of water shortage no longer existed in Saint Nazaire.

  The atmosphere of the whole tribe was energized with the success of the water well.

  The days passed and the resolution of Saint Nazaire’s water shortage issue slowly morphed into the eye of a storm.

  Envy and jealousy spread uncontrollably. From small scuffles over discreet stealing of water to wanton robbing in broad daylight.

  Yes, Saint Nazaire had Elvis and Lea holding the fort, and there was also Auretin and Ian standing guard. But so as to not let their own females suffer, so what if they had to die for it?

  The area beside the well had turned barren as thick blood permeated the earth. If not for the taste of blood Gu Mengmeng detected in the water she drank, she might never know about the conflict caused by that well.

  When Gu Mengmeng led Elvis and Lea to the well, someone from goodness-knows-which tribe was just fighting with Auretin.

  The opponent was obviously not a match for Auretin and had already been restrained on the ground by Auretin’s foot.

  Just one strike and the opponent would be disemboweled on the spot.

  “Stop.” Gu Mengmeng frowned as she walked over.

  Seeing someone approaching, Auretin halted and morphed back before walking to Gu Mengmeng’s side. He carried out his bodyguard role very professionally.

  That person had been beaten into a daze and could no longer see clearly. He remained stunned for a long while before flipping over and crawling on the ground with fear and trepidation.

  Gu Mengmeng was somewhat astounded. Earlier, that person was still looking resolute despite the beating by Auretin. Why had his demeanor suddenly changed?

  Could it be Snake’s domineering air had leaked out of her again?

  “Messenger…… the great Messenger…… I just wish to let the female in my family have some water…… I deserve to die for offending the great Messenger. Please don’t be angry at Shage. Just punish me. Please!”


  Gu Mengmeng chuckled, feeling exasperated.

  The only thing that could strike fear in these tough males was their own females.

  Gu Mengmeng walked to the side of the well and looked in. The water level still looked about the same.

  This well was obviously drawing from an underground stream and probably had an infinite supply. There was absolutely no need to fight over it like that.

  However, the well was located within Saint Nazaire. If they allowed others to enter to retrieve the water, it would become a matter of territorial rights. Elvis and Lea had fought tooth and nail for Saint Nazaire. Even if she could not expand the territory, there was no reason for her to allow others in. With this thought, Gu Mengmeng looked down at the cowering male. “Does your tribe have a witch doctor?”


  The male shivered, thinking perhaps he was going to be sacrificed to the heavens as a punishment. Never mind, as long he didn’t drag Shage down with him.

  Gritting his teeth, he nodded. “Great Messenger, our tribe…… has a witch doctor.”


  Gu Mengmeng gave a light “mmm” before saying, “From now on, this well will be opened to the public every afternoon at a designated time. Just have your witch doctor come over to collect.”
