Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The Priest’s Identity?

Outside, the world had turned chaotic.

The warm calm inside Hu Yan’s cave was a sharp contrast to the storm shaking the tribe grounds. Rain poured down in long silver sheets, soaking everything in sight. The mud was already forming, puddles widening, and water rushing between the trees.

And right in the middle of the storm, the tribe leader stood completely drenched.

Su Mingxuan didn’t even blink as rain streamed down his sharp face. His eyes were fixed on the gray sky, unreadable but heavy.

The priest beside him, in comparison, was trying very hard to keep himself dry; he was holding two enormous leaves folded together like a makeshift umbrella over his head.

It wasn’t helping much.

Rain dripped steadily off the leaf edges, splashing on the priest’s shoulders. But he stood there calmly, as if none of it bothered him.

A group of beastmen gathered behind them, some soaking wet, others using hides to cover their heads. All of them looked uneasy.

Su Mingxuan finally lowered his gaze.

"The heavens have changed," he said quietly, but his voice carried over the storm. "Something has definitely happened... This rain is early. Far too early."

The priest nodded slowly, expression composed and strangely serene.

"It has arrived," he murmured. "And it will not stop. It will only increase from here."

His voice felt calm, but every word fell like a warning. Beastmen exchanged tense glances. A ripple of dread moved through the crowd.

They had prepared for the rainy season.

But they hadn’t finished moving yet. Their new home had been built, yes, but the houses were still empty, many houses were still not polished, and the storage area was not fully sealed.

Everyone had assumed they still had three or four days left.

But heaven had given them no time at all.

Su Mingxuan straightened with a tight jaw. He looked at the beastmen behind him. They were strong warriors, seasoned hunters, males who rarely feared anything.

Even they looked unsettled.

"Start shifting your families immediately," Su Mingxuan ordered. "Do not wait another moment."

A murmur rolled through the group. One beastman stepped forward.

"Tribe leader... The rain will only get heavier. Won’t we risk the females catching cold if we move them now?"

Su Mingxuan shook his head firmly.

"They’ll fall sick if they stay in the cave as the rain grows. At least the new homes are farther from the flooding areas. Move them. Carry them if you must. Keep them dry."

Another beastman raised his voice over the storm.

"What about the rations? The dried fruits and smoked meat? It’ll be ruined if the water reaches the caves!"

The priest finally spoke again, calm as ever.

"Use the stone bowls. Seal everything inside. Move it one trip at a time, but quickly. If the rain continues like this... we may not get a second chance."

A heavy silence spread across the tribe as the reality sank in.

They couldn’t delay.

Su Mingxuan’s voice cut through the sound of rain.

"And remember...our witch doctor has gone to Beast City and hasn’t returned yet. We cannot risk anyone falling sick. Protect the females. Protect the young cubs well."

A chorus of determined voices answered him.
