Purebred Beasts（）
Just as the atmosphere was getting a little ambiguous.
Blacktooth came back from the front and said in a low voice,""Wu, Chief, we're almost at the lake.”
He did not dare to make too much noise. The small lake was the only water source nearby. Perhaps there were ferocious beasts nearby that were preparing to drink water.
"Okay, be careful. Try not to make any noise.”Flame Horn's face immediately became serious.
The path they were taking now was not the path where the totem warriors fetched water. That path was relatively close but very dangerous. If there were only totem warriors, they would not be afraid of being intercepted by the ferocious beasts while carrying the water bucket.
But if he brought Su Bai and Flame Flower, he couldn't run at full speed. He could only take this roundabout route, which would reduce the danger by more than half.
"Alright." Su Bai and Yan Hua nodded.
The five of them continued to move forward at a much slower speed. After walking for a few minutes, a dry stream appeared in front of them.
"Do you know when the stream stopped flowing?”Su Bai asked in a low voice.
"When we arrived, the stream had already stopped flowing.”Flame Horn replied in a low voice.
"Then do you know when there will be water in this stream?”Su Bai didn't know the seasons in primitive society.
"It's the dry season now, so there isn't much rain. We still have to wait for more than 50 days before the rainy season arrives. By then, there should be water in the stream.”Flame Horn said after some estimation.
"Fifty days is too long." Su Bai shook his head. In two months, the tribe would only use more and more water. They wouldn't be able to last until the stream flowed again.
He walked to the dry stream and squatted down to dig the mud with his hands. He found that it was dry without a trace of water.
"No, it's very difficult to dig a hole in such a place without water.”Su Bai decided to take a look at the lake.
The five of them followed the dry stream and climbed up the mountain forest. Along the way, they could see the footprints of many unknown animals.
Su Bai looked at the familiar footprints. They looked like tiger paw prints on Earth, but they were the size of a human head. One could imagine the size of this beast.
"What kind of beast's footprints are these?" he asked Flame Horn curiously.”
"A tusked black tiger, a footprint of this size is at least at the level of a purebred beast.”
Flame Horn's face was solemn, but his tone was slightly relaxed."Fortunately, the tusked black tiger only comes out to hunt at night. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape.”
"Fortunately, it's a ferocious beast that hides during the day and comes out at night.”Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Pure beasts corresponded to intermediate totem warriors, and there was no intermediate totem warrior in the Fire Dragon Tribe.
The group walked for another seven to eight minutes.
"The small lake is in front." Flame Horn's voice became even softer.
"Hualala…"
Su Bai's sharp senses heard the sound of water. He followed Flame Horn and the others and saw the lake.
He estimated that the diameter of this small lake should be five to six hundred meters. At this moment, the surface of the lake was tumbling violently, and there was a huge creature stirring up waves underwater.
On the shore of the small lake, there were some lush trees and some open areas. One could clearly see the footprints of many animals on the shore.
"Are the ferocious beasts under the lake powerful?" Su Bai asked in a low voice.
"It's very powerful. It's a purebred vicious beast and is the absolute ruler of this small lake.”Flame Horn said bitterly.
If it was just an ordinary hybrid beast, they would not be afraid of it as beginner totem warriors. However, if it was a purebred beast, ten beginner totem warriors would be courting death.
"Another purebred beast." Su Bai felt a little helpless. He didn't have the ability to kill a beast of this level.
"Wu, this small lake isn't as simple as a purebred beast.”Blacktooth tugged at Su Bai's clothes, pointed at the lakeside and whispered: "Look at the ferocious beasts on the shore over there. There are at least a dozen of these Stone Armored Crocodiles in the small lake.”
Su Bai followed the direction and saw a familiar species. It looked like the extinct Deinosuchus on Earth, but the leather armor was different.
The Stone-Armored Crocodile's skin was stone-like and uneven like a rock. The Stone-Armored Crocodile on the shore was four meters long. It was sunbathing with its eyes narrowed. Perhaps it was guarding the tree and waiting for the beast.
"Are the dozen beasts all hybrid beasts?”Su Bai asked solemnly.
"Yes, they are all fierce beasts." Blacktooth said with certainty.
"That purebred beast is also a Stone-Armored Crocodile?”Su Bai asked with a bitter smile.
"Yes." Flame Horn, Blacktooth, and the others nodded.
"It's actually a group of fierce beasts. This is too difficult.”Su Bai complained. He finally knew why only totem warriors could get water.
"Shaman, let's go back. Leave the matter of getting water to us.”Flame Horn consoled.
Who didn't want to occupy the small lake? They really didn't have the strength. If they were not careful when fetching water from the shore, they would be dragged into the water by the Stone-Armored Crocodiles in the next second. Once they entered the water, they would have no way to escape.
"Yeah, if there's a lot of water, we'll come a few more times.”Blacktooth echoed.
Usually, they would only come four times a day to fetch water, two times in the morning and two times in the afternoon. They would all stagger the time when the stone-armored crocodiles were active.
"Wait a moment, let me think." Su Bai raised his palm to silence them. His black eyes scanned around the lake, paying special attention to the situation on the shore.
Since he couldn't take it by force, he could only use his wits.
"There should be a way, right?" Flame Flower murmured. Her red eyes secretly looked at Su Bai, hoping to find an easy way to get water so that the tribe would not be short of water.
"..." Flame Horn and Blacktooth looked at each other quietly. They knew that it was impossible to easily get water from the mouth of the Stone-Armored Crocodile.
The two of them did not say anything more. They wanted the shaman to give up so that he could return to the tribe in peace.
