"You heard it too?"
"Hmm! The sound is coming from the north, run!"
The Shaman is the heart-stabilizing beast of Yafatu, more important than all the other beasts combined, and the most sacred being in everyone's hearts.
She has only been back for a short time, bringing back so many female cubs and strong males, and has not yet been formally rewarded.
As a result, a pitiful scream was heard in his own tribe.
They must have been terribly frightened.
They had to rush over to protect Doctor Xia!
Along the way, they encountered various animals from land, sea, and air, all hurrying along. Among the herd, a giant scorpion with a cold glint in its tail didn't speak to anyone, its eyes wary as it raced forward.
Soon, it passed by the group of orcs and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a faint layer of dust.
"Huh? Who just went over there?"
"I don't know, it was too fast to see clearly. Let's hurry, Doctor Xia's screams were too horrible!"
Soon, the patrolling beasts reported the orcs' mass stampede to the chieftain, and also informed the snake-like witch doctor who was discussing matters in the chieftain's house.
The chieftain was shocked upon hearing this: "What?! Xiaxia is in trouble?! Quick, arrange for Maoning to lead two teams of beasts over there... Never mind, I'll go myself."
Snake, its skin trembling as it lay dormant, with one arm dangling, tried to get up and follow, but Leopard Spring swiftly grabbed it.
He earnestly advised, "You shouldn't go. The roads are slippery with snow, and if you fall, it will trouble Doctor Xia. Don't worry, the chief will be fine."
Upon hearing this, the elderly witch doctor stopped in his tracks, retreated, and sat down in the chief's chair, waiting anxiously.
Leopard Quan breathed a sigh of relief, carefully poured hot water, took out the dried meat he had just roasted that morning, and placed it on the table in front of Snake Han.
Her clear, bright eyes looked at him with concern.
As the witch doctor grew older, he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time since he was cured by the witch doctor Xia during his last attack.
He doesn't like bland food, and strong-flavored food is bad for his health...
The snow fell intermittently, and now the sun is shining brightly again.
The beasts were a formidable force, with more and more beastmen joining them along the way, making the procession grow longer and longer, resembling an animal migration from a distance.
Many bewildered orcs peeked out of their houses upon hearing the noise, looking outside in surprise.
"What's going on? Is there a beast tide coming?"
In an instant, the entire Yafatu region was filled with a sense of unease.
They were completely unaware of all this in the summer. Their other companions were busy with their own things and didn't notice, so no beast informed her in advance.
At this very moment, in Zhang Qian's room.
Nestled in Fox Snow's arms, Sheng Xia's heartbeat gradually calmed down, unaware that a large group of orcs was on their way.
She accidentally made eye contact with the centipede, and Shengxia's breath caught in her throat again. The woman who had been so adept at delivering babies was now completely blank.
His face showed a stunned expression after the initial shock.
Feeling the tightness in her arms, Hu Xue's eyes suddenly turned cold. She lifted her eyelids and scanned the room, startling all the creatures in the room into instinctively adopting defensive postures.
The three unhatched eggs were all huddled together.
Xiong Qi, who followed in, was a little confused. Hearing the sounds, he thought that some beast was bullying Doctor Xia, so he rushed in anxiously. It turned out that a female was giving birth.
Why were you so scared?
Poor Dr. Xia...
Being a witch doctor these days isn't easy. They're all pregnant females. If every one of them is like that, the witch doctor in Xia must be exhausted.
No, I need to go back and talk to Guoguo...
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and went home.
No one noticed Xiong Qi's sudden entry and exit. Hu Xue's jawline tightened, and she tightened her grip on Sheng Xia's arm.
He looked down at her in his arms, his heart aching, and gently kissed the top of her head again and again: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. What happened just now?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Sheng Xia came to her senses and met Zhang Qian's eyes. Zhang Qian was lying down and blinked her clear, innocent eyes, looking at her with worry and helplessness.
Sheng Xia forced a smile, her toes digging into the ground in embarrassment.
To everyone else, centipedes are a type of beast, which is perfectly normal. In the beast world, no one can understand her fear of multi-legged creatures.
Saying it out loud would only cause more trouble for everyone.
Besides, it was a cub. She couldn't just say she was scared by the cub; it was obvious the cub really wanted to come closer...
In the height of summer, she felt like crying but had no tears. She liked the cubs very much, but she just couldn't get close to the centipede. She silently said "I'm sorry" countless times in her heart.
He then shook his head: "I wasn't scared, it was just that it was the first time I'd ever seen a baby hatch, I was so surprised."
She was afraid of centipedes and such, so she shouldn't say it on their joyous occasion and embarrass the beast.
Sheng Xia gently bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes, and kept hypnotizing herself, telling herself that it wasn't a centipede, but a cute baby.
It's a cub...
Whether it was a successful hint or a fright that made her immune, the tingling sensation on Shengxia's scalp subsided a bit, and she stepped out of Hu Xue's arms.
He stepped forward and took Zhang Qian's pulse to check her over, confirming that she was fine, while trying to suppress the creepy feeling of the centipede beside him.
She smiled gently, her lips curving upwards: "It's alright now. Congratulations on having four babies, and both you and the babies are healthy."
After giving them some instructions, I took my leave.
"Alright, you can rest now. I'm going back first."
Zhang Qian's big eyes curved into crescent moons as she thanked him gratefully and looked at Sheng Xia with reluctance.
"Medical Doctor Xia, you're amazing! Thank you!" She then added, "By the way, could I pay you a little later? I'm short on cash right now..."
Before she could finish speaking, a handsome young man with short, brown hair reached out and handed her the animal skin bag. Zhang Qian looked up in confusion.
The boy's voice chuckled, "These are my shell coins. You went to bed early last night and didn't have time to take them out. You can use them; all the shell coins I earn from now on will be yours."
"Shiqiao, you're so kind~" Zhang Qian smiled sweetly.
As the two beasts locked eyes and drew closer, Shengxia was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), her feet frozen in place, unsure whether to move or stay still.
It seems inappropriate to speak now?
She silently took two steps back, intending to slip away quietly.
Just as she turned around, a dark figure blocked the doorway and said anxiously, "Sister Shengxia, are you alright?"
Xingmu stood restrainedly at the door, his chest tight and his throat sore. The females he liked were afraid of his beast form.
He wanted to care, but he couldn't even get close to her.
Xingmu clenched his fists; he wanted to hug her.
But he didn't dare.
Fox Snow walked over casually.
Sister Shengxia?
That's his Xiaxia sister!
The fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and it clicked its tongue almost imperceptibly, subtly adopting a protective stance as it stood behind Sheng Xia.
Hearing the pleasant young voice, Sheng Xia looked towards the door, puzzled. A tall figure came into view, his short golden hair shimmering in the sunlight.
Even though you can't see his face because he's backlit, you can still get the feeling that he's a clean-cut, cute puppy.
Sheng Xia's eyes lit up as she stared at the boy at the door.
