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

Chapter 661 Danger!

The turbid river water roared down from upstream like a wild beast, and in the short time that everyone hesitated, the water level had visibly risen another finger's depth, crashing against the bank and splashing up cold water mixed with mud and sand.

Bai Wanwan was tightly protected by the beastmen, preparing to cross the river together with the females, cubs, and the wounded.

The females, their faces drained of color as they gazed at the churning river, clutched their young tightly, and hesitated to move forward, bringing the procession to a near standstill.

"Quick! The water is rising higher and higher!" came the anxious shouts of the elephant-like beastmen from ahead.

As Bai Wanwan watched the river water accumulating and becoming increasingly turbulent, her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

She knew that every second of delay increased the danger.

But she also understood that fear was contagious, and any prompting at this moment could cause the already panicked females and cubs to completely break down.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety, and tried to make her voice sound calm and gentle, with a calming power: "Don't be afraid, look ahead, and take one step at a time. We are behind you and will never let anything happen to anyone. Just think of it as... walking on an uneven path in the tribe, and keep your balance."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every hesitant female.

Along the way, Bai Wanwan used her miraculous medical skills to pull many cubs suffering from fever and on the verge of death back from the brink of death.

Her composure and wisdom had long earned her the heartfelt trust of all the females.

Hearing her calm voice and seeing her and her powerful beastmen behind them, the females seemed to have found their backbone. They looked at each other, finally mustered their courage, gritted their teeth, and took trembling but firm steps forward cautiously.

Bai Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief, and with renewed courage, immediately followed closely behind them.

In just a short while, a commotion arose from the pushing and shoving in front.

To allow the females and cubs to cross the river first, there were no other males on the river besides Bai Wanwan and her two animal husbands.

"Chief, go ahead and clear their path."

Seeing the water level rising higher and higher, Chief Rong knew there was no time to waste. "Yin Ze, Jin Yi, protect Wanwan!"

"it is good."

After saying that, he moved nimbly toward the noisy area at the front of the group.

Finally, the team started moving again.

As they traveled to the most turbulent part of the river, the elephant beneath them suddenly lurched, and one of the females slipped and fell on its back with a scream.

She instinctively reached out and grabbed randomly, tripping over another person next to her.

Panic spread like ripples, instantly plunging the area into chaos.

A cub, tightly held by its mother, stumbled in the shoving and was pushed towards the edge by the chaotic crowd, about to fall into the surging river!

"Ah!" The mother cub, having lost her grip, let out a scream that pierced the air.

"Watch out!" Almost simultaneously, Jin Yi, who was guarding Bai Wanwan's left side, reacted with lightning speed, rushing out like an arrow. He stretched out his long arm and, just as the cub was about to fall into the water, steadily pulled him back into his arms.

But as soon as Jin Yi moved, the guard position on Bai Wanwan's left instantly became empty.

Almost at the same moment, an even stronger undercurrent surged in. To stabilize itself, the massive elephant-beastman stomped down with all four limbs, causing all the beastmen on its back to sway violently!
Bai Wanwan was startled by Jin Yi's sudden departure. She lost her footing and her body tilted uncontrollably to the left, where Jin Yi had been guarding, but which was now empty.
"Watch out!" a deep voice rang out, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

Suddenly, a hand reached out swiftly and forcefully, firmly supporting her arm. The force was just right, preventing her from falling without hurting her.

Bai Wanwan, still shaken, turned her head and met a pair of deep eyes.

"Ember Shadow!" She steadied herself and instinctively smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you."

Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) did not immediately let go.

At such close range, he could clearly see the tiny water droplets clinging to her curled eyelashes, and the lingering fear in her eyes.

"You're welcome. It's too chaotic here. Let me help you, and we'll get there quickly."

When Jin Yi came to his senses, he realized what a dangerous scene had happened and felt annoyed that he had almost put Wanwan in danger.

Bai Wanwan didn't want to waste time, so she said directly to Jin Yi, "Let's move forward and protect the females and cubs on the periphery."

Jin Yi didn't waste time fighting with Jin Ying for position, and continued walking while protecting the female and cubs in front of him.

The skin beneath his palm was delicate and warm; this brief contact felt like a long-awaited rain to Fu Jinshen.

Finally, they successfully crossed the river.

Bai Wanwan turned her head, wanting to thank him again, but saw his gaze fixed on her intently. His complex expression made her heart skip a beat, and an indescribable sense of familiarity resurfaced, making her heart flutter.

She instinctively pulled her arm back.

The sudden loss of warmth in his palm caused Jin Ying's fingertips to curl slightly. He withdrew his hand, silently lowered his eyes, and locked all the surging desires and suppressed emotions deep within them, leaving only a calm and expressionless exterior.

The chieftain returned to her side, and after confirming that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The females and calves finally crossed the river one after another, but by then the water had already overflowed the elephant's back.

"The river is rising, you guys get ashore first." After the river is cleared, the males can cross it.

The rushing river roared past, and the elephants heard Bai Wanwan's voice. They all turned around and prepared to go ashore.

"careful!"

With a cry of alarm, the two smaller, non-high-ranking male elephants in the middle section, after enduring the prolonged impact, finally collapsed from exhaustion. The mud and sand in the riverbed beneath their feet were eroded by the rapid current, and their massive bodies swayed violently. To everyone's horror, they were instantly swept away by the merciless river, tumbling a few times in the turbid waves like two fallen leaves before quickly disappearing into the distance!

"No!" cried out in anguish from the shore and from their familiar tribesmen.

Everyone watched their figures being swept away, anxious and helpless!
Bai Wanwan suppressed her shock and immediately shouted to Yin Ze beside her, "Yin Ze! Go and check it out, follow the river downstream! If they've been washed ashore or reverted to their original forms, you must try to rescue them if you have the chance!"

"Alright!" Yin Ze did not hesitate at all. After receiving the order, he flashed away and the phoenix spread its wings and flew away.

The team cannot stop.

After a brief period of grief and confusion, the crossing continued.

The males all transformed into their original forms, and several of them crossed the river at the same time.

To prevent the females and cubs from getting sick, Jin Ying first led a group of males to the cave.

When all the male elephants had successfully crossed the river, darkness fell again.

Yin Ze, however, has not yet returned.

　Thank you so much for the tickets and tips, my darlings! Love you all! (ε｀)
