The moat surrounding the settlement had only been the first step in addressing that problem.
Noah hadn't ignored the possibility of violent winds, lightning, or even the countless other disasters the storm might bring.
However, after considering every possibility, he believed the greatest threat to the territory would be rain.
If left unchecked, the sheer volume of water could quickly overwhelm the settlement, flood the creatures' shelters, and wash away everything they had spent the day preparing.
Knowing that, Noah's attention naturally shifted.
Countless roots spread through the soil before weaving together into an intricate network.
Rather than allowing rainwater to gather wherever the land naturally dipped, the roots slowly carved countless underground channels that all led toward the moat surrounding the settlement.
From there, the channel would continue to connect to the small lake they created before.
