Upon hearing this, Aoki looked around in surprise.

The clouds were thin and the wind was gentle. The sea was calm and still. Even the leaves in the bushes in the distance looked much greener because of last night's heavy rain.

He didn't see anything unusual, but Xiaxia said so, so she must have her reasons.

"Xia, tell me how to avoid danger, and I'll do it," Aoki said solemnly.

Clearly, the other partners thought the same thing. Tie Bai's pink eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke seriously.

“Aoki is right, it’s better to be cautious. We’ll start taking defensive measures now. It’s better if there’s no danger, but if there is, we can respond in time.”

A complex look flashed in Jiao Su's golden eyes. With his keen senses and the innate intuition of a merman, he noticed something was amiss, but he couldn't be sure.

Xiaxia, she...

Without time to think further, he patted Shengxia's head, offering silent comfort, then turned and left with a single sentence.

"Xia, I'll go and drive the orcs back to the shore."

On the shore, the beastmen who were frantically picking up food dared not speak out. Under the pressure of Jiao Su's terrifying aura, they silently packed up and orderly moved away from the shore.

He only dared to mutter to himself after he had walked a distance away.

"Of all the octopuses, I like octopuses the most."

"And there are boneless fish, those are so hard to catch, they're everywhere, I really don't want to leave!"

"Yes, yes, we've lived by the sea for so many years, what haven't we seen? It's just low tide in the morning, how could there be any danger?"

“…”

Everyone was talking about it, and reluctantly went home, looking back every few steps. On the way, they discussed it with each other, feeling wronged.

They secretly felt that Doctor Xia didn't know everything, but out of blind trust in her, no one questioned her openly.

As Jiao Su had instructed, they prepared food, water, and some animal hides. The males remained vigilant, ready to protect their mates and cubs and escape at any moment if anything went wrong.

With a glimmer of hope for survival and their partner pregnant, life seemed to have a purpose, and everyone cherished it.

They cooperated very well.

To them, Doctor Xia's words must be based on something, and something big was bound to happen, so they couldn't afford to be careless.

At this moment, Shengxia swiftly put the cub into her spatial storage, ignoring Shiqing's strong protests, and gently patted his little head.

"Qing, be good. Your mother has things to do and needs your help to take care of Wan'er and the others."

The little guy needs experience, that's true, but not now.

If a tsunami were to occur, it could stun and sweep away any beast in an instant, so we must not be careless.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing was conflicted. He wanted to stay and protect his mother, but his younger sister also needed care. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly looked up.

In a childish voice, she instructed the large beasts, "Fathers, I'm going to the space now. You must protect Mother!"

After saying that, he glanced at Aoki with some unease.

The suspicious look in his eyes infuriated Aoki, who raised his hand without hesitation and slapped him on the buttocks, feigning anger.

"Get lost! We'll definitely protect your mother!"

If you can't even protect your own partner, are you just wasting food while you're alive?

Is he that kind of male?

What kind of look is that!

Shengxia chuckled, briefly forgetting her anxiety, and gently patted Shiqing's head, speaking softly.

"Alright, Aqing, go take care of your sister."

Before he could even finish speaking, Shi Qing was sent into an absolutely safe space without being given a chance to refute.

Then he turned to look at the wolf king.

"We are surrounded by the sea on all sides. If there is a large tsunami, we must arrange for everyone to move to higher ground as soon as possible."

“Okay, I’ll go talk to the chief.”

I don't know what the Wolf King said, but the migration went surprisingly smoothly. In less than half an hour, everyone gathered at the village gate with their families.

Then they followed in a large group and walked uphill.

When passing by the Blue Fish Tribe, Bluetooth mocked him. He looked at the mermaid Xi, who had large and small animal skin bags, and glanced at him sideways.

Upon discovering that most of the females in their tribe were pregnant, jealousy arose, and they began to mock them without thinking.

"Hey~ Look, look, who's this? Fleeing? Hahaha, could it be that you were scared by the sudden receding tide? Is this all the courage your Crab Roe Tribe has?"

So many females, and they're all pregnant!

It seems that the witch doctor Xia has some skills...

However, to relocate the entire clan over such a small matter probably indicates a cowardly person; there's no need to worry too much.

The mocking tone made all the orcs in the Crab Roe Tribe frown, and a battle was about to break out.

Aoki, cursing and swearing, leaped over, unleashing vines that wrapped up the foul-mouthed Bluetooth and hung him upside down from the tree, then gave a bright smile.

"Since you're so capable, you should just stay here."

After saying that, he turned around and urged, "Crab Roe Tribe, protect the females and cubs, and hurry up."

He wanted to get them to the top of the mountain as soon as possible, because he needed to go back to be with Xiaxia. He wondered if Xiaxia was scared.

More than just fear.

I'm starting to feel anxious in the middle of summer.

She sat on the back of a snow-white sheep, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the base of its icy blue wings, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

All around was the vast ocean, and I didn't know which direction the tsunami was coming from, or whether it was safe to stay on the mountain.

If that doesn't work, let everyone enter the space.

However... she didn't want to reveal the existence of the space unless absolutely necessary, since she didn't trust the orcs of the Crab Roe Tribe to that extent yet.

The space holds too many secrets...

Soon, they arrived at their destination, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They began to pack up and organize, some digging holes, others searching for fresh water.

They systematically created a suitable living environment.

“I remember this used to be a shallow beach,” Crab Shadow said to Crab Red with a serious expression, pointing to a spot.

"Indeed, we didn't see it. We don't know if it was caused by the sudden low tide this morning..."

He said it should come back when the tide comes in next time. If it doesn't come back, it's okay. He couldn't explain why, and he didn't feel any danger.

It's just a shallow beach; once it's gone, it's gone.

As she spoke, Mermaid Tears climbed up carrying a large wooden bucket of fresh water and placed it in the cave without looking back.

The other orcs also curiously looked around, but couldn't figure it out, so they went into their caves to find work.

Only Shengxia and her family remained outside. Looking at the area that had been shallow, Shengxia raised her voice and spoke to Crab Shadow.

"Chief, let's go check other places. Keep an eye on the tribespeople, don't let them come down the mountain, and don't let the cubs run around."

"Alright, Doctor Xia, please be careful too." Chief Crab Shadow's eyes flashed with worry, but he agreed without hesitation.

Shengxia nodded, skillfully climbed onto Yangyun's back, and whispered in his ear.

"Little lamb, let's go, let's fly around the island, fly a little higher and a little slower."

After saying that, she turned back to look at her other partners, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling into a sweet smile: "Wait for us to come back."

"Okay, be careful. If anything seems wrong, go into the space."

I flew around the island, but didn't see any large sea creatures even in the height of summer, probably because the water was too shallow!

Large marine mammals are enormous and live in deep waters. When the water becomes shallow, they retreat and naturally disappear from sight.
