Lea’s claws were already reaching towards that head, not to slice it but to draw it out from the well.
There must not be any blood here. What would Mengmeng drink if the water source was tainted?
But that head was very cautious. It immediately dipped back below the waters with a rippling sound the moment it saw Lea approaching.
Lea frowned impatiently. The waters would be completely polluted if anyone drowned inside.
He quickly went forward and leaned into the well to take a look. A funnel of water shot out. Lea quickly ducked but his face was still scratched by the water. A drop of blood trickled down the side of his face. Lea frowned as a murderous look surfaced in his eyes.
This was a face which Mengmeng had praised multiple times before. And it was wounded by him!
When Lea looked into the well again, it was with a murderous expression.
“I want to meet the Messenger of the Beast Deity.” A voice echoed out from the bottom of the well.
“Who are you?” Lea asked in a low voice. His tone was even and casual, but the witch doctors standing beside him had all broken out in cold sweat, their hearts pounding with fear.
The person in the well didn’t speak again. Only the rippling sound of water could be heard.
His meaning was very clear. As long as the Messenger of the Beast Deity did not come, he would stake out the well and not allow anyone to draw even a single drop of water from it.
The well was very important, but Gu Mengmeng was even more so.
Lea would never allow such an antagonistic person with unclear origins get close to Gu Mengmeng. As a result, this incident was suppressed by Lea.
The witch doctors didn’t manage to get any water, but they dared not say anything They just waited for Lea to think up of a plan to get that fellow out of the well.
But…
How long could this matter be kept under wraps?
Gu Mengmeng felt something was wrong when their water supply at home started dwindling.
The well drew water from an underground stream and the supply should be limitless. How could there be no water at home?
When she brought the children to Sandy’s place to play, she discovered that there was also no water at Sandy’s house. Sandy’s mouth was so dry that it was cracking, and she was just lying around too lethargic to move. She only forced herself to sit up when she saw that Gu Mengmeng had come.
“You also have no water?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Sandy nodded. “Collin went to the well two days ago but returned with a grim face. He refused to tell me what was going on and just said that there is no water for the time being. Gu Mengmeng, do you know what happened to the well? Has the water supply been used up?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “I also don’t know what’s going on. But… Lea and Elvis have been acting rather strangely. They will immediately change the subject whenever I mention the well. They have also obviously been keeping me from going over there.”
Sandy tugged at Gu Mengmeng’s arm. “Why don’t we dig another one? I am really too thirsty…”
Gu Mengmeng patted Sandy’s hand. “Why don’t you accompany me to the well to see what is going on? If there is really no more water, then we will dig another one.”
Sandy’s eyes brightened the moment she heard that there could be water to drink. Without another word, she immediately stood up to lead Gu Mengmeng in the direction of the well.
Subsequently…
Gu Mengmeng was somewhat stunned. Who had dug up Saint Nazaire until it looked like a whack-a-mole arena?
“This…” Sandy was also very shocked. They looked at each other speechlessly.
“Come, let’s go over to take a look.” Gu Mengmeng led Sandy over to the side of the well. They discovered a massive rock covering the well, completely sealing it off.
