Chapter 346 Comforting the Two Kids

Therefore, the two kids must stay here. Although they are a little thirsty, they are safe here!

Xia Yue was also afraid that the cubs might get sick from thirst here, so she asked Long Xiaoyu and the stray beasts to go to the distant Beast City to say hello and get some water from the Beast City!

The situation in the Beast City is much better than this. Their water resources are still sufficient, but the nearby rivers are slowly decreasing. The orcs are still living the same as before, and they don't seem to know that the tribes outside are already suffering from severe water shortage.

It took Long Xiaoyu a whole night to return with the two stray animals.

They brought enough drinking water for more than ten days, so they would not be in danger for the time being.

Originally, Xia Yue had thought about going to Beast City for refuge, but when she heard that Long Xiaoyu and Qian Jingyao both disagreed with her opinion, she gave up.

After all, there are three or four hundred orcs in the fox tribe. If they all go there at once, there will be nothing to eat or drink, and they will even have no place to live.

It's not much better than this, and how could the orcs in Beast City be willing to let so many foreign beasts share their resources!

Will the Fox Tribe still be the Fox Tribe then?

A series of problems made Xia Yueke realize that this was the worst possible scenario.

And according to the stray animals outside, some tribes farther away have also experienced a decrease in water resources or have even dried up.

If they don't solve the problem themselves, most of the orcs will be short of water and they will pay a heavy price.

Xia Yueke stopped thinking and started talking to An An and Dun Dun, "You two should stay in the tribe this time. It's too dangerous outside, and the mother beast can't take you there."

When An An and Dun Dun heard that Xia Yue was not going to take them to the beach, they immediately refused. An An put her hands on her hips, her ears erect, her tail blown, and said angrily, "Mother beast! Why can other father beasts go, but we can't? We want to help too!"

Dun Dun even lay directly on the ground, with his four paws pointing to the sky and his tail swishing loudly, while he kept yelling, "No no no! I'm going! I'm going! The female beast is partial!"

Xia Yueke felt a terrible headache when she saw Dun Dun rolling on the ground.

This is like a situation where a parent is shopping with a child in a mall, and the child sees a new and strange toy and wants it, but it is very expensive. The parent refuses to buy it, and the child starts throwing a tantrum.

Xia Yueke was just like that parent at this moment, at a loss as to what to do, but fortunately no one was watching or observing the fun.

She squatted down and tried to pull Dun Dun up, but the little guy was as slippery as a loach and she couldn't catch him at all.

"Dun Dun, be obedient. The beach is too dangerous. You are still young and can't go there." Xia Yueke advised patiently.

"I won't! I won't!" Dun Dun continued to roll around, looking at Xia Yueke with tears in his eyes, "Mother beast, don't you love us anymore?"

Xia Yue was left in a state of confusion by Dun Dun's words, and quickly explained, "How could the mother beast not love you? It's precisely because I love you that I won't let you take any risks!"

Luo Cihe came over, squatted beside Dun Dun, and poked his belly with his hand:

"Dun Dun, if you keep rolling around, the beast will throw you on a tree and hang you up like a dried fox cub."

Upon hearing this, Dun Dun immediately stopped rolling around, curled up into a ball, and looked at Luo Cihe warily: "Father, you can't do this!"

Luo Cihe raised his eyebrows: "Then are you still rolling around?"

Dun Dun shook his head and said aggrievedly, "I won't fight anymore..."

Seeing this, An An shouted, "Father, you are biased! Why can you all go, but we can't?"

Lang Ce came over and rubbed An An's head:

"An An, you are still young. There are sharks and other dangers on the beach. If you go there, the mothers and fathers will have to divert their attention to protect you, which will make it even more dangerous."

Qi'an also said softly:

"An'an, Dun'dun, you two stay in the tribe and help us take care of the other cubs, okay? When we come back, we'll bring you shells and pearls from the seashore."

Long Xiaoyu directly conjured up a small water ball and waved it in front of the cubs:

"If you behave, Father Beast will turn you into water balls to play with."

The two cubs were attracted by the water balls, their eyes lit up, and they temporarily forgot about going to the beach.

Just as he had calmed the two cubs, Qingyan became unhappy again. He stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, his tail twitching irritably, his face filled with unhappiness.

"Keke, why do I always have to stay behind to take care of the kids? I also want to go to the beach with you guys!" Qingyan's voice was filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.

Xia Yueke turned around, looked at Qingyan, and said helplessly: "Qingyan, it's very dangerous to go to the beach this time. We need you to stay in the tribe to protect the cubs. You are the most reliable, and only you can take good care of them."

Qing Yan curled her lips: "Keke, you always say that. Do you think I'm not strong enough, so you won't let me go?"

Xia Yueke quickly shook her head:

"How could that be? Qingyan, we all know your strength. It is precisely because we trust you that we entrust you with the most important task!"

Qing Yan was still not satisfied and muttered softly, "But I also want to go on an adventure with you..."

Seeing this, Xia Yue walked over to Qing Yan, patted his shoulder gently, and said in a gentle but firm tone:

"Qingyan, think about it, aren't the cubs very important?"

Qing Yan nodded: "Of course it is important."

Xia Yueke continued, "Then isn't the mission of protecting the cubs also important?"

Qing Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

However, Qing Yan always felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have heard this sentence before, but looking at Xia Yueke's gentle and beautiful face, and soft tone, Qing Yan shook his head and put this idea behind him.

Xia Yueke smiled:

"So, only you can complete this mission brilliantly. You're the strongest among us, and we can only go to the beach with the cubs in your care. And, when we return, you'll have been a great hero!"

Qing Yan was a little flattered by Xia Yueke's praise, and his tail unconsciously lifted up:

"Really? Am I really that important?"

Xia Yueke nodded heavily:

"Of course! Without you, we wouldn't dare leave the tribe. Qingyan, you are our reassurance!"

Qing Yan finally smiled and patted his chest:

"Okay! Coco, don't worry, I will take good care of the kids and wait for you to come back!"

Xia Yueke nodded and explained, "By the way, half of those stray animals will stay to protect you. If you have any problems, just tell them directly. Langce has already informed them."

Qing Yan pursed his lips and said, "No, I'm very capable myself. Why should I let them stay? It's safer if you take them with you."

Xia Yueke rubbed Qingyan's ears and said, "Be obedient. The surrounding tribes will be short of water by then, and there's no guarantee they won't do something irrational. These people must stay to protect you and the two cubs. After all, there's strength in numbers!"
