The fish and beasts in the sea panicked, scrambling towards the shore. The quickest ones climbed ashore and continued running forward, using their tails...

Countless fish-beasts tripped by their tails and fell, only to be quickly overturned by those behind them. No matter how injured they were, they got up and kept surging forward.

The mountain shook once and then there was no further movement.

The flying orc sent by Crab Shadow to investigate returned in a panic to report.

"Chief, the sea is teeming with fish-like beasts! Dead fish-like beasts, belly up! They're everywhere! That tsunami is coming again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar rumbling sound rang out, only this time the sound was exceptionally loud.

Sheng Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked down at the foot of the mountain, only to see the sea rising to a terrifying height. Her hands clenched unconsciously.

The dark seawater, carrying thousands of fish and beasts and birds that had no time to escape, crashed forward with the force of thunder.

Sheng Xia gasped, hearing the roars of the beasts and seeing the startled birds flying in all directions. She couldn't help but take a step back, her pupils dilating.

What's most alarming in the height of summer is that the seawater seems to be gradually rising up the mountain.

"The water's coming up!" someone shouted.

The scene quickly descended into chaos, filled with screams, terrified cries, and helpless attempts to soothe the wounded.

My gaze suddenly rose, and I came into view a pair of pale pink eyes and long, snow-white hair.

"Xia, don't be afraid, we're here for you."

Her cheeks flushed as a pale palm covered half of Shengxia's face. Cool, long hair brushed against the back of her hand, and she instinctively clutched the silk-like hair in her hand.

"Ah Bai, the situation is very bad. Let's all stay together and not get separated."

Shengxia's sweet, soft voice trembled slightly as fear grew in her heart at the rising sea level.

When her wet eyes looked over, Tie Bai felt a pang of pain in his heart. He tightened his arms around her, his light pink eyes filled with tenderness.

Boom—

Another huge wave crashed against the shore.

The wooden bucket containing salt at the cave entrance tipped over, spilling white salt all over the ground. Many males ran over, distressed, to clean it up.

The mountain suddenly shook, and various things crashed together with a loud bang. The cub's terrified cries carried far and wide.

Fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared and quickly calmed down, unlike at the beginning when they were running around aimlessly.

"Crash! Boom—!"

Suddenly, a loud bang.

In the height of summer, she stared at the dark seawater that stretched up the mountain, her scalp tingling with fear. The salty and bloody smells mingled together and drifted over on the wind, making her feel nauseous.

She gagged several times, her eyes reddened with discomfort, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with glistening tears, which broke the hearts of her companions who had been watching her.

"Xia, are you alright?" Aoki asked with concern in his eyes.

"Sister Xiaxia, why don't we go to the space to rest for a while? We'll watch over things here." Hu Xue's narrow fox eyes furrowed slightly as she spoke urgently.

Sheng Xia suppressed her nausea and shook her head.

"I'm fine, I'll check on things first."

If that doesn't work, we'll have to move everyone to this space. Here, there's an endless ocean on all sides, with no large islands, and the smaller ones are visibly being submerged.

With the sea level continuing to rise, it's uncertain how long we can hold out here. If it doesn't work, we'll have to move everyone into the space.

She will stay here and keep an eye on the situation.

Wolf King skillfully took out a few grass-green leaves that were clean and still had water droplets on them, crushed them in a water glass, poured in hot water, filtered them simply, and added some honey.

His movements were fluid and graceful; soon, a cup of grass and honey water was ready. He used his supernatural ability to lower the water temperature to a drinking level.

With gentle eyes and brows, he raised his hand and brought it to her lips.

"Xia, have a sip of water to calm down."

A glass of light green liquid with a minty flavor appeared at her lips. Shengxia skillfully opened her mouth, took a sip, blinked, and forced out the physiological tears.

A pang of heartache flashed in Yang Yuntao's eyes. He rummaged through the animal skin bag, found a small bag of sweet and sour refreshing fruits, took one out, and brought it to Shengxia's lips.

"Xia, this is sweet and sour and refreshing, have one."

Jiao Su's golden eyes rippled almost imperceptibly as she looked at Sheng Xia's delicate yet strong appearance, her heart filled with complex emotions.

I felt both heartache and gratitude, as well as a strong sense of pride.

Choosing Xiaxia as his partner was the best decision he ever made; he was lucky.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose.

Another round of panicked screams erupted.

The females and cubs were sheltered in the cave by the males, who provided them with food and water to make them as comfortable as possible.

Standing in the blue bubble released by Jiao Su, Sheng Xia looked worriedly at the mountainside.

The water has risen up there.

No, to be precise, it was captured on camera. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the mountains were swaying slightly.

Shengxia turned her head in confusion, looked at Jiaosu beside her, and grabbed his arm.

"Susu, is the mountain moving?"

That sudden movement was quite large; it was definitely not an illusion.

Jiao Su gave a soft "hmm," his golden-glass eyes flashing with deep affection as he stretched out his long arms and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

She spoke in a clear and elegant voice.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright." The mountain did move, more than once, shaking continuously, but there was no need to tell her that to scare her.

It doesn't have much of an impact; beneath this island lies a massive underwater rock, even larger than a mountain.

He had just checked, and as long as the seawater doesn't keep rising, it's absolutely safe to stay here.

Wolf King glanced at the wary beastmen, and, feeling a pang of pity, made a difficult decision.

He gave Tie Bai a wink and walked first towards the cliff edge where there were no beasts. Tie Bai's pink eyes curved slightly as she glanced at Sheng Xia. Seeing that she wasn't paying attention, she quietly followed.

"What, do you have any ideas?"

"Hmm, would you like to give it a try?" Wolf King chuckled gently.

Tie Bai nodded slightly, casually gathered her long hair up, and Wolf King handed her a pink hairband at the right moment.

"Xiaxia's, you use it first."

Tie Bai raised an eyebrow, his gaze softening as he looked at the hairband. He took it and tied his long hair into a neat high ponytail. Then, the two beasts walked towards the other side of the mountain in tacit agreement.

The wind grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.

The bright sun shines overhead, while the ground is black and murky; the stark contrast creates a strange sense of dissonance.

The chief of the Crab Roe Tribe and the chief of the Blue Fish Tribe stood together on the edge of the cliff, staring blankly ahead.

Their tribe's location was submerged by the sea.

The enormous sea monsters leaped out of the water, letting out long, terrified, and desperate howls.

That scene filled the beast with despair.

Can they go back?

My home is gone...

At this very moment, a patrol team is on the edge of the cliff.

"Do you think this mountain won't be blown away by the water?" A male from the Blue Fish tribe looked at the sea and wiped the sweat from his face.

After asking the question, he didn't receive a reply for a while, and looked to the side in confusion.

The other patrolling males stared intently ahead, their pupils almost bulging out, their faces deathly pale.

It was as if they had seen something terrifying.
