In the day, Bai Qingqing would eat the fried dough twists she fried herself or cook some noodles. At night, she would eat a big feast with her spouses. Although the food was slightly scarce, they managed to make do with it.

It was just that the beasts in the village were mostly carnivorous, so it was inevitable that some had to go hungry.

The heavy rainy season would be arriving in another two months’ time, and the females couldn’t be starved. Winston racked his brains over this. In the end, he decided to bring an army of beastmen to faraway places to herd the animals over.

To guard against the attack of the scorpion beastmen, they put on armors and set off, fully-geared.

Thankfully, the insect tide had started in the vicinity of the village, and the forests not far away weren’t affected. This went further to prove that this insect tide was the doing of beastmen.

After living in trepidation for four to five days, the army of beastmen led by Winston herded back a large batch of animals, rescuing the villagers from hunger. This success also helped to further build up Winston’s reputation.

The tiger village had long become famous. Due to the infestation of the insect tide, the smaller villages that were affected couldn’t survive on their own and came to seek refuge with the tiger village. In the short span of a month, beastmen from more than ten small villages came, totaling more than three thousand. All of a sudden, the tiger village’s population hit ten thousand.

The level of capabilities of the beastmen who just migrated here as a tribe was quite diverse, but not quite as strong as the lone young males who came to seek refuge with them. At the moment they could still be said to be adding brilliance to the existing splendor, but come next year, they would become a burden to the village.

There were only so many resources in this forest, and once the beastmen increased in numbers, there wasn’t enough food for everyone.

But since Winston had taken them in, he planned on expanding the construction of the city to areas where resources were more bountiful next year.

As such, the village formally changed its name to the “City of Beastmen”, a City of Beastmen more magnificent and legendary than the City of Beastmen of the past.

The village, ah no, the “City of Beastmen” recovered from that insect infestation at a rapid speed. Having to endure every single day with half-filled stomachs, the beastmen were full of hatred for the scorpion tribe that brought about this insect tide.

When Winston proposed to drive away and slay the scorpion tribe, he received unanimous agreement from all the beastmen in the city.

“Your Majesty, we discovered a few scorpions in the rock forest area and have already killed them.” After several days of searching, the eagle tribe finally located traces of the scorpion tribe and immediately reported this finding to him.

A grim smile appeared on Winston’s stern face. He tightened his claws, killing intent evident in his silver eyes. “Very good. Gather a team of eagle beastmen. I’m going to personally check on the situation.”

With the gaze of the City of Beastmen’s ruler upon him, that eagle beastman felt a sharp stab in his flesh as though a knife had sliced into it. He couldn’t help observing a moment’s silence for the scorpion tribe. His Majesty seemed to have come up with a plan to deal with them. Looks like misfortune was about to befall the scorpion tribe.

The eagle beastmen team was formed in no time. Winston rode on the most muscular one amongst them and headed straight for the rock forest area.

“It’s here.” The eagle beastman landed on the ground and, after the white tiger on his back leaped down, transformed into a human and said.

Winston sniffed the ground and very quickly found a nearby cavity hidden among the plants.

“The scorpion tribe really can’t change their habit of drilling cavities wherever they go,” Winston said sarcastically.

This was soil, not the desert, with no quicksand to allow the scorpion tribe to maintain its mysteriousness. They could locate the scorpion nest through one of the underground cavities, but was there a better way?

With a cunning enemy, they had no choice but to work their brains. They indistinctly thought of some ideas, but couldn’t link them up.

The eagle beastmen came up and watched for a good while, before someone said, “I’ll go in and take a look.”

Immediately, a young eagle beastman stepped forth. Winston tilted his head sideways and cast a glance over him. It was a young beastman who, despite his young age, had already earned two stripes. Moreover, he was also gutsy. Winston praised him in his heart and felt this was someone he could try putting into an important position.
