The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 434 Another Continent

He paused, each word carrying a barely perceptible emotion, "You... take good care of yourself and give birth to the cub safely."

After saying that, he turned to Hua Han, who was pale and struggling to regulate her breathing, without hesitation.

Although Hua Han was cynical, he now sensed the seriousness of the situation and the death wish emanating from Jiao Yin.

“Hua Han,” Jiao Yin’s gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing straight into Hua Han’s eyes, “You risked your life on the shore to save her, I believe you can also safely return her to her beast husband, right?”

His tone was not a request, but rather carried an unquestionable entrustment.

Hua Han wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth. Her fox-like eyes, which always held a playful air, were now more serious and earnest than ever before.

He looked at the heavy entrustment and determination in Jiaoyin's eyes, then at Bai Wanwan beside him, whose face was pale and belly was swollen, and nodded heavily, his voice resolute: "Yes! I, Hua Han, swear to the Beast God in the name of the Fox Clan's ancestors that as long as I have a breath left, I will definitely send her back safely!"

"That's good."

Jiaoyin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; the taut, resolute lines of her face softened for a moment, but it was fleeting.

He gave Bai Wanwan one last, deep look, as if trying to etch her image into his mind. Then he abruptly turned and charged towards the crystal palace that had become hell!

"Jiaoyin! Wait!"

A slender, delicate hand suddenly grabbed his arm!

Jiaoyin stopped and slowly turned around.

Suddenly, Bai Wanwan broke free from Hua Han's support and swam to his side.

Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes shone with wisdom and resilience.

"If you go back now, you'll be playing right into their hands!"

Bai Wanwan's voice was clear and powerful, carrying an undeniable rationality, "Jiaoming colluded with the saltwater crocodiles, setting a trap for you. If you go back alone, you will likely be surrounded and killed by them. If you die, what will happen to your friends, your family, your sister Jiaoyue, and those imprisoned clansmen? They will only die faster and more tragically!"

Jiaoyin wanted to retort, but Bai Wanwan gripped his arm tightly, speaking faster and with a burning gaze:

"Where there's life, there's hope! You are the king of the Merfolk, your life isn't just yours alone! Come with me, let's get out of here first! We'll go find my beastmen. Chief Rong is the tiger clan chief, and Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, Jin Yi, Yan Lie, and Yin Ze are all powerful beastmen. We'll gather our strength, heal our wounds, and then fight back. Then, with our combined efforts from within and without, we'll surely be able to rescue Jiao Yue, reclaim your palace, and avenge our fallen people."

"Going back now... would only mean certain death, it's not the best choice!"

Bai Wanwan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Jiaoyin's mind, which was filled with anger and grief.

He looked into her clear and determined eyes.

As long as the green hills remain... gather strength... rescue Jiaoyue... reclaim the palace... and take revenge!
These words were like a lighthouse in the darkness, instantly illuminating his mind, which had been clouded by thoughts of death.

His tightly clenched fist slowly, little by little, loosened.

The resolute thought of facing death was slowly replaced by a deep and suppressed rage of revenge.

“You’re right,” his voice was low and hoarse, carrying the chill of the sea, “Only by living can we hope for revenge.”

The three dared not linger and quickly retreated through a hidden waterway that Mo Lin had finally pointed out.

However, the situation was worse than expected.

Jiaoming had clearly made meticulous arrangements, not only sealing off the palace area but also dispatching loyal merman warriors and ferocious beasts of the crocodile tribe to lay a trap along the coastline where they might escape.

They attempted several concealed landing sites, but each time they were discovered by vigilant patrols. The enemy lurked behind reefs, in seaweed thickets, and even on the shallow seabed.

Jiaoyin's powerful water-based perception allowed him to avoid most traps in advance, but on one occasion, they almost ran into an encirclement consisting of three orange-tier merman warriors and two giant armored crocodiles.

Jiaoyin acted decisively, creating a violent vortex of undercurrents to temporarily trap the enemy. Huahan, enduring the excruciating pain in her head, managed to create several realistic phantoms to distract them.

The three narrowly escaped through the gaps in the encirclement. Jiaoyin's back was grazed by the sharp teeth of a saltwater crocodile, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone, and blue blood seeped into the seawater.

"The coastline is locked down!" Jiao Yin's face was pale. The continuous high-intensity battles and manipulating the seawater had greatly depleted his talent power, and his aura was obviously unstable. "They have deployed heavy troops along the coast."

Hua Han clutched his throbbing temples, his complexion not much better than Jiao Yin's. The severe damage to his illusionary talent had left him listless: "What can we do? We can't just drift at sea and die, can we? Wanwan is about to give birth!"

She's estimated to give birth in about ten days.

She lowered her head and stroked her protruding belly, pondering what to do next.

With both males so badly injured, their chances of survival in this vast ocean are drastically reduced.

After only a slight hesitation, she quickly communicated with the system in her mind: "Peanut, exchange for two recovery pills."

The precious points were instantly deducted, and two white pills emitting a soft glow appeared in her hand.

He handed the two pills to Jiaoyin and Huahan, who were barely holding on, and said, "Take these first."

The two males stared at the round object in her palm. Hua Han picked it up and examined it. "What is this?"

"A pill that can heal your injuries."

"Can it really restore me?" Hua Han looked at her with his fox-like eyes.

The moment she nodded, she popped the pill into her mouth.

Jiaoyin didn't say anything, and also picked up the pill and put it in her mouth.

In no time, the two males' pale and listless faces gradually regained their rosy color and vitality.

They both turned to look at Bai Wanwan at the same time. "My injuries have healed."

They found it incredible; even a witch doctor couldn't have performed such a miraculous treatment.

Bai Wanwan also hesitated about whether to expose such a thing.

But the two males were seriously injured while saving her, and now they are protecting her all the way.

If anything happens to them, she wouldn't be able to survive on this vast ocean.

So, after a slight hesitation, even knowing that it would expose some secrets, she still exchanged for pills to treat their injuries.

"These are pills my beastman gave me. I hope you've recovered from your injuries." Bai Wanwan didn't want them to suspect anything, so she quickly changed the subject, "Where are we going now?"

After a moment's thought, Jiaoyin pointed to the depths of the ocean. "I know an ancient warm current that leads to a continent to the southwest called the 'Emerald Shore.' At my current speed, I should be able to get there in about ten days. It's far from the territory of the merfolk and saltwater crocodiles. We can go ashore to rest and then find a way to contact your beastman."

Bai Wanwan touched the baby in her belly and nodded: "Okay! Let's go to the Emerald Shore."

Save your life first; that might be the only way out.
