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

Chapter 435 A Journey of Desperation
The next ten days or so were a true life-or-death journey.

Jiaoyin almost burned his primal power, manipulating powerful water currents to propel the three of them through the deep sea like arrows released from a bow.

They dared not approach the surface of the sea, and could only lurk in the dimly lit middle waters, relying on Jiaoyin's senses to avoid the territory of powerful sea monsters.

With food sources scarce, they rely entirely on Jiaoyin to catch some blind fish in the deep sea, or on Huahan to forcefully use illusion magic to lure some small schools of fish closer.

The baby in Bai Wanwan's womb seemed to sense the danger its mother was in, and its fetal movements became unusually frequent and powerful.

On the fifth day, the greatest crisis arrived.

They were discovered by a team of elite merfolk led by Jiaoming's confidants!

Also appearing were two giant saltwater crocodiles, each the size of a small mountain and covered in thick bony armor.

It is clear that Jiaoming and the saltwater crocodile clan have gone to great lengths to completely cut off their path to survival.

"Jiaoyin, don't forget, Jiaoyue is still in our hands. You'd better come back with us obediently."

The merman who was speaking didn't pay any attention to Hua Han and Bai Wanwan beside him, and only looked at Jiao Yin with apprehension.

After all, Jiaoyin is the king and powerful male of the Merfolk.

"I'll go back, but not now!"

Jiao Yin's eyes were bloodshot as he unleashed his power to control water to the extreme. Countless sharp water blades spun rapidly around him, clashing with the charging merman warriors. Blue blood and shattered scales splattered everywhere.

"Wanwan, hold on tight."

After being distracted to protect Bai Wanwan, he continued fighting the enemy.

Hua Han's eyes burst forth with a dazzling purple light.

This time, he no longer created an illusion, but instead launched a direct mental attack.

The two merman warriors and the crocodile beast at the forefront froze, their eyes showing a brief moment of confusion and pain.

But then more merfolk and saltwater crocodiles rushed over.

The two males' abilities are being rapidly depleted.

"We can't engage in a prolonged fight. Is there any way to break out?"

"Have!"

After Jiaoyin finished speaking, he abandoned his defense and poured all his power into the front, condensing a high-pressure water tornado powerful enough to tear apart the deep sea, forcefully creating a narrow gap in the encirclement!

"go!"

Jiaoyin roared, grabbing Huahan with one hand and tightly embracing Bai Wanwan with the other, bursting out of the vortex of blood and water like a burning meteor!

Behind them came the roars of ferocious saltwater crocodiles and the angry cries of merfolk in pursuit, but they left them behind.

Jiao Yin's wounds reopened, and blue blood trailed a long mark in the seawater. His face was ashen, and his breath was extremely weak, sustained only by sheer willpower.

More than ten days later, when Jiaoyin's innate power was about to be exhausted, they finally saw the continent at the end of their sight.

"Look! We've arrived!" Bai Wanwan pointed excitedly ahead.

A relaxed smile finally appeared on Jiaoyin's tired face.

When her feet finally touched the solid, cold, wet sand, Jiao Yin's vision went black, and she could no longer hold on, falling heavily onto the shallows along with Bai Wanwan and Hua Han.

His innate power was completely depleted, making it difficult even to maintain his human form. The scales on his lower body were faintly visible, and the outline of his fish tail struggled to emerge from under the mermaid gauze.

To ease Jiaoyin's burden, Huahan also assisted her from the sidelines.

Its innate power was about to be exhausted, and its entire beast body lay paralyzed on the beach, motionless. Bai Wanwan was dazed and confused from the fall, but she managed to lift her head.

What came into view was a wet, black rocky coastline shrouded in thick fog.

The air was filled with a strong fishy smell and a strange, decaying plant scent.

However, before they could catch their breath, more than a dozen figures suddenly emerged from behind the fog-shrouded rocks and surrounded them.

These orcs varied in appearance, but were generally not as tall and robust as the chieftains, appearing more lean and agile.

Most of them had pointed ears, trailed tails of varying lengths behind them, and their pupils gleamed with a wary, eerie light in the thick fog.

They wore simple leather armor or woven straw clothes, held sharpened bone spears or stone axes, their faces were painted with strange paint, and their eyes were filled with extreme tension, vigilance and... hostility!
Is it a stray animal?

"Catch them! Don't let them get away!"

"That female's belly is so big, she must have been stolen, right?"

"Watch out! That silver-haired beastman looks like a merman?"

A cacophony of hostile shouts erupted, and sharp spear tips nearly pierced their faces.

Clearly, the edge of this continent, known as the "Emerald Shore," is not peaceful.

"They are not stray beasts, but were persecuted by the beastmen and accidentally ended up here."

Compared to the two males, Bai Wanwan was actually in better condition.

So she sat up and instinctively used her body to block the bone spears that were about to pierce Hua Han and Jiao Yin.

After all, this is the Beast World Continent, where females are always treated better than males.

"You really weren't kidnapped by them?"

“No,” Bai Wanwan immediately denied, “Are you often attacked by stray beasts here?”

Then, she learned from the orcs who were surrounding the area that it was frequently raided by wandering beasts.

The local orc tribes were on edge, viewing any unfamiliar outsider as a threat.

"Cough cough..."

Hua Han paused for a moment, coughing weakly, but managed to force an extremely sincere, even somewhat pitiful, smile, and called out in a hoarse but clear voice in the common orc language:
"It's a misunderstanding! We are all orcs from the tribe, not wandering beasts!"

He struggled to sit up, pointed at Bai Wanwan, and said in a tone full of grief and helplessness: "We are just like you, being hunted down by the evil merfolk and saltwater crocodiles, which is why we drifted here."

He cleverly played the victim, pointing the finger at saltwater crocodiles and merfolk.

“Our female is about to give birth, and we need a place for her to rest and give birth. By the God of Beasts, if you can provide us with a place to live, we will fight against the stray beasts with you.”

Hua Hansheng was exceptionally handsome. At this moment, he was seriously injured and weak, and his words were earnest. Coupled with Bai Wanwan's pitiful appearance with her big belly, he was extremely convincing.

In particular, his mentions of being "hunted down by forces in the sea" and "only for the birth of children" precisely struck the softest spot in the hearts of these beastmen who suffered as stray beasts but had an innate instinct to protect their cubs.

The surrounding beastmen looked at each other, their hostility noticeably diminishing.

One of the males, who looked like a minor leader and had lynx-spotted markings on his face, eyed them warily before finally fixing his gaze on Bai Wanwan's pained yet restrained face.

After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand.

"Take them to the 'Fog Sentinel' hut! Keep a close eye on them! We'll make a decision after informing the chieftain."
