437: Chapter 437 Impact

With Jiao Yin's watertight protection and Hua Han's agile harassment working in tandem, coupled with the Lynx Tribe's beastmen warriors organizing an effective counterattack after their initial panic, this sudden raid was finally repelled.

Over twenty corpses of Wandering Beasts were left on the ground, and the rest, after their leader was heavily injured by Hua Han's sneak attack, fled in a panic into the dark forest with fearful howls.

When the first ray of morning light struggled to pierce through the mist, illuminating the Tribe filled with the scent of blood and smoke, the Lynx Tribe's patriarch, supported by Clan Members, walked tremblingly to the front of the Stone House where Jiao Yin and Bai Wanwan were staying.

The patriarch was an old lynx beastman with deep traces of time on his face, yet his eyes remained sharp.

Looking at the Wandering Beasts outside in various poses and gruesome states of death, then turning to the two unscathed High-Ranked Males beside him, the old patriarch's eyes were filled with deep gratitude.

He pushed away the Clan Members supporting him and bowed deeply and solemnly toward Jiao Yin and Hua Han.

"Warriors from afar, thank you to the beast god for the guidance! Thank you for stepping forward last night and saving the lives of our Lynx Tribe beastmen."

He raised his head and looked with kind eyes at Bai Wanwan, who was being carefully protected by Jiao Yin and still looked somewhat pale, especially at her highly protruding abdomen. His eyes were filled with gentle respect: "Noble Female, you have been frightened! This chaotic land has truly wronged you and your unborn Cubs."

The old patriarch immediately ordered: "Quick! Get the 'Warm Sun Stone House' ready!"

He turned to Jiao Yin and Hua Han, his tone earnest: "Please, you must accept our Tribe's gratitude! That Stone House is our best one; it is sheltered from the wind and faces the sun, covered with the thickest beast skin, and is near a hot spring. It is the best living place for a pregnant Female! Please stay and rest at ease!"

Soon, the nimble-handed Females and young beastmen in the Tribe began to get busy.

After Bai Wanwan, Jiao Yin, and Hua Han were taken to that "Warm Sun Stone House," beastmen continuously brought over various things.

Freshly slaughtered, the fattest prey meat; baskets of sweet berries and roots unique to the Emerald Continent that still held dew; thick, warm beast skin; and even a few pieces of glowing warm jade marrow, which were considered rare in the Tribe and said to be a holy object for Females to stabilize their pregnancy.

Looking at the gifts piled up in the corner of the Stone House, and feeling the sincere gratitude and respect in the eyes of the Lynx Tribe's Clan Members, the heartstrings that Bai Wanwan had kept taut finally relaxed slightly.

Jiao Yin also solemnly thanked the old patriarch and took the opportunity to make a request: "Patriarch, we come from far across the sea. I wonder if your Tribe has any way to help us send a message to that continent?"

Hearing this, the old patriarch stroked his beard, a trace of difficulty flashing in his eyes, but it immediately became firm: "Transmitting messages across the sea... it is difficult, very difficult. The Sea of Mist is extremely dangerous; even our bravest warriors and fastest messenger birds can hardly cross it. However..."

He paused, "Rest assured, our Lynx Tribe will definitely do everything in our power to find a way! With the beast god as our witness, we will certainly help you reunite with your Clan Members!"

He immediately summoned the beastman in the Tribe most familiar with birds to begin discussing feasible plans.

Bai Wanwan lay on the Stone Bed, her taut nerves relaxing.

For the time being, on this strange and perilous continent, they had found a foothold where they could catch their breath and recover their strength.

Bai Wanwan stroked The Cubs in her belly, which had quieted down again, and gazed at the still-thick mist outside the window. The longing for her Beast Husbands and the desire to return home grew even stronger in her heart.

Jiao Yin sat quietly beside her; he could see her anxiety and tension.

After all, neither he nor Hua Han were her Beast Husbands, and the Female was still pregnant with Cubs; how could she possibly be truly at ease?

"Don't worry, I will always watch over you."

Bai Wanwan gave a hum, "You've been tired all night, you should go get some sleep too."

Just as she finished speaking, Bai Wanwan felt her belly get kicked.

Violent, rhythmic contractions surged forth.

Bai Wanwan knew that The Cubs couldn't wait to come out.

"Ugh, ah..."

The sound Bai Wanwan made immediately made the two inexperienced Males nervous.

"Wan Wan, are you okay?" Hua Han approached to ask.

Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead, and said to the two Males: "I'm going into labor! You... you go out first! Wait outside."

With them still there, she endured the pain and temporarily did not exchange for Painless Childbirth.

Hua Han was a bit at a loss, not knowing how to help.

Jiao Yin's expression also changed drastically: "A Female giving birth is extremely dangerous! How can we let you be alone inside? We must call the Clan Witch!"

"Don't go!"

Bai Wanwan endured the pain, but her tone was unusually firm, "It's too late! You go out... believe in me!"

"Go out!"

Under her urging, Hua Han and Jiao Yin could only leave the house first.

Listening to the suppressed groans of pain inside, time ticked by second by second, but the sounds inside became smaller and smaller, until finally, they could barely be heard!

"No! There's no sound at all; something must have happened!" Hua Han completely panicked, caring about nothing else, and slammed open the simple wooden door and rushed in!

"Wan Wan!"

Jiao Yin, following closely behind, also rushed in regardless of everything due to his worry!

However, the scene that greeted their eyes instantly petrified them!

In the dim light, Bai Wanwan was standing in the center of the room, her back to the door.

To facilitate the birth, she had already removed all the clothing from her body.

That delicate and beautiful body was completely exposed to the air.

Her skin was as lustrous and delicate as the finest pearls; her breasts, full and round from pregnancy, sat above a still-slender waist, and below that was a gracefully curved pelvis slightly opened for the imminent delivery. Her protruding abdomen was smooth and firm, without a single stretch mark or deformation typical of an ordinary pregnant woman!

The smooth lines seemed to emit a soft glow in the dim light, forming a breathtaking, holy picture full of vitality.

Hua Han only felt a hot current rush to the top of his head, his nasal cavity grew hot, and two streams of bright red nosebleed flowed down without warning!

He was completely stunned, his mind going blank.

Jiao Yin was likewise struck by lightning; those deep blue eyes froze instantly, his gaze seemingly held fast by a magnet, unable to move a fraction away from that flawless back and rounded curves, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, almost about to break his ribs!

"Get out!"

Bai Wanwan realized someone had broken in, turned around abruptly, covered her chest with her hands, and scolded in shock and anger.

Her face instantly flushed red, filled with shame and anger!

The two Males then woke up as if from a dream, their gazes as if scalded, and they retreated in a flurry, slamming the door shut with a loud "bang"!

They leaned against the cold stone wall, panting heavily, their heads buzzing, with only the shocking image from that fleeting glance, which was enough to incinerate their reason, replaying over and over again.
