Snake Rong was already standing beside the snake cub, ready to immediately transform into his original form if any danger arose, and lead everyone to quickly escape the peril.

Gal looked into the distance and quickly brought back news: "It's a beast tide. We need to get to higher ground immediately."

"good."

As soon as he said that, everyone rushed to higher ground.

Almost as soon as they stood up, before they could even find a suitable place to sit, the beast horde had already rushed over. Their momentum was immense, and the wild beasts displayed an attitude of fearlessness.

Cat Dodo and her cubs were protected by Serpent Ronggal. She had to put in some effort to peek out and, by the moonlight, see the herd of beasts running below.

She seemed thoughtful: "It seems like the number is increasing."

Compared to the last time I saw them, there seem to be more of them this time.

“I don’t know what’s going on lately, but the beast tides have been appearing frequently, disrupting the tribesmen’s movements quite a bit.” Gal frowned, pondering how to avoid the beast tides.

If one is truly preparing to leave, then one must choose a safe place. Nowadays, suitable environments are rarely unoccupied by others.

As the lord of a city, he always had to consider many other things.

When Maoduo heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

If even Galdu in White Tiger City is saying this, it seems the frequency of beast tides is indeed very high...

It is highly likely that a volcano is about to erupt, and the animals have already sensed the danger, instinctively choosing to move to a safe place.

However, they overlooked one thing: no matter where they went, they could not escape the danger brought by the volcanic eruption.

It was destined that no one could escape this calamity if the volcanic eruption wasn't stopped in advance...

"Mother, what does a volcanic eruption have to do with a beast tide?" Snake Three suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Cat Duoduo realized what she had just said.

She tried to explain things more clearly and understandably, so that the cubs could understand the danger of natural disasters. After all, it's impossible for anyone to say they'll never encounter such danger in their lifetime.

only--

"So, everyone runs away when they encounter danger? Then we can run away too."

Snake Three tilted his head, speaking in a strangely cute way.

Mao Duoduo's lips twitched, and she said with difficulty, "That makes sense, but it doesn't mean that everyone can escape. Such a calamity is destined to involve everyone."

She lowered her eyes, her voice soft, yet clear enough for both the Serpent King and Gal, who understood the meaning of her words, to comprehend.

"What if the disaster spreads too far and no one can find a place to hide?"

"This entire continent has been affected by the calamity. No one can escape the danger, and no one can remain unscathed... Where can we hide when that time comes?"

She said helplessly, "The sea? What tools do we have now that allow people to live at sea for extended periods, and that can guarantee we can find land to survive?"

There's something that Maoduoduo didn't say.

She didn't know if the original story mentioned any other places at sea where one could survive. Naturally, all she could do now was to try her best to ensure the safety of this continent.

Even though this may require a lot of hard work and may not be recognized by others...

"Mother." The cubs looked puzzled, but instinctively said, "No matter what you do, we will be with you and help you."

"Alright! To be honest, as long as you behave well and don't cry or make a fuss, that's already helping me." Mao Duoduo couldn't help but laugh.

The cubs laughed merrily, their clear laughter dispelling the unease that had settled in people's hearts from the earlier arrival of the beast tide.

They still have a chance; if they keep moving forward, they will surely be able to escape danger.

Once they knew the beast tide had left, everyone tried to find a safe place to spend the night.

It was only meant to get through the night; the next morning, everyone suddenly realized that the arrival of the beast tide hadn't been without its changes.

The only change was that the surrounding terrain had become slightly steeper... The group reached the precipice and found only a long, continuous aerial path, with no way to cross it.

But if we consider taking a detour, it will simply take another day or so...

"Let's give it a try."

"We can still use the vines here, so let's try to climb over."

CatDodo prepared to act, but was completely stopped by Serpent Rong and Gal. The two said that as males, they should take the lead and protect the females and cubs.

Cat Duoduo was helpless against their masculine and straight-male pronouncements. She shrugged and could only choose to ask them to try it.

In fact, CatDodo underestimated the height and distance; it was simply too far away. Not only were the vines completely out of reach, but even the weight of a single adult beastman was nearly too much to bear. It was worrying that they wouldn't be able to succeed even with the cubs.

Even though Serpent Rong and Gal insisted on trying, Cat Dodo was still helpless and directly interrupted the two, "Forget it, if you can't get through, you can't get through."

"How do we get there?" She Rong frowned, looking up at the destination, pondering the possibility of transforming back into his original form and leading everyone there.

"No, that won't do. That place simply can't bear too much weight. If you revert to your original form, Serpent Rong, that place will definitely collapse."

Maoduoduo couldn't help but sigh. If it really collapsed, there wouldn't even be a way to get around, and everyone would be trapped in this place.

“Actually, there are eagle-clan orcs in the nearby mountains,” Gal suddenly spoke up, successfully attracting everyone’s attention. “If only we could have them fly us there.”

He turned his gaze to the barely visible eagle clan nest on the towering mountain, where he could occasionally catch a few sparse shadows in the sky—the figures of the eagle clan beastmen.

It's such a pity; they're so difficult to reach. If possible, Gal would love to find an opportunity to talk to them about this. Maybe he could even get their help.

"The Eagle Clan, is it?" CatDodo subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The sun was shining brightly, and Maoduo had to shield her eyes from the light to make out a few figures. Because of this, her heart pounded the moment she saw them clearly.

Yes, how could she be so foolish? If they can't get there themselves, they can always ask the Eagle Clan for help.

CatDodo couldn't help but show a hopeful expression, "Then let's ask them for help."

“There’s no hope,” Gal shook his head.
