Yingqiu was pregnant. She and Zhanbai, along with some valuable belongings and a few slaves, set off with Zehui and the others.

Before leaving, she looked back at the city, her heart filled with sadness. This was where she grew up, but now it was flooded by rain, and she had no choice but to leave.

The drizzle was still falling, and everyone was wearing raincoats made of animal skins to keep out the rain. The rain didn't seem to stop for a while, so Zehui and Yunfeng reminded everyone to get on the road quickly, lest the rain get heavier.

The rainy season has really arrived. It rains every noon and evening. The lingering heavy rain really affects their return progress. It takes them one day longer to enter the dense forest than when they came here.

The dense forest was already humid, and the rain in the past few days had caused many depressions to appear in the forest, and the ground became muddy.

But this also brought a benefit - those poisonous insects and wild beasts also went to find a more suitable place to settle down. They walked for several days in a row, and the dense forest was quiet. There was only the sound of raindrops falling, and not even a ghost could be seen.

After a long journey, the others were fine. After all, they were the leaders and elders of each tribe and they were in good physical condition. However, they were not so friendly to Yuan Xiao and Ying Qiu.

Although they were both carried by someone, the bumpy ride caused both of them to suffer from mild vomiting symptoms.

Zehui was so distressed: "Xiaoxiao, let's stop and rest for a day."

Yuan Xiao's face turned pale. She forced herself to stand up, pointed at the big tree that had just emerged in front of her, and said to Ze Hui, "Let's not do that... We're almost at that banyan tree in front of us, right? Otherwise, let's go there and take a rest."

When you reach the banyan tree, you are not far from the exit of the dense forest.

Everyone cheered up and sped up. As the banyan tree got closer, they couldn't go any further.

"Why did it stop in front?"

"We can't go any further! There's a swamp ahead!"

Swamp? How could there be a swamp? There was no swamp when I went there before.

Zehui left Yuan Xiao to Yunfeng's care and ran to the front to take a look.

The area of ​​the swamp is not large and is not obvious on the surface. Only with a little attention will you find small bubbles rising.

Everyone changed into human form, each picked up a branch, carefully leaned over the edge, and then went around the swamp to the other side of the banyan tree.

The leaves here seemed to be denser, like a natural umbrella, blocking the heavy rain, and even the ground was not particularly wet.

This is a rare safe haven in the dense forest. Everyone decided to rest here first. Once they get out of the dense forest, the road will be easier to walk on.

Yun Feng and Ze Hui started to set up the tent. When they came out of Tiger and Lion City, in order to avoid being seen, Yuan Xiao did not put the tent directly into the space, but let Yun Feng carry it on his back.

By now the tent had been set up and everyone came to watch.

"What is this?" Zhuang Lin couldn't help but ask. He had never seen this before.

"This is a tent. It's made of walrus skin. Sleeping inside it can protect you from wind, sun, rain, and it's also very light to carry."

Everyone was amazed and praised Zehui for having such a brilliant idea!

Zehui turned around and pointed at Yuan Xiao who was sitting in the tent: "It was Xiaoxiao's idea. I just made it according to her description."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Yuan Xiao. They didn't expect that this petite and cute female actually had some ideas.

Zhan Bai helped Ying Qiu walk to the front of the tent. Before he could say anything, he saw Yuan Xiao waving at Ying Qiu and asking her to come in and sit down.

The two people are of similar age and have similar personalities.

"Xiaoxiao, are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, I'm much better, how are you?"

"I'm fine, my stomach just feels a little uncomfortable. Maybe I'm a little tired from traveling." Ying Qiu gently touched her belly, with a doting look on her face.

Yuan Xiao also found it quite novel: "Your belly doesn't seem to be particularly big, does it take a while before you give birth?"

Ying Qiu smiled and said, "It's almost time. The baby will be born in about a month." Yuan Xiao then remembered that the gestation period of animals and humans is different.

The two of them chatted happily.

After dinner, Yuan Xiao and Yingqiu had recovered a lot of their strength. Yuan Xiao gave Yingqiu one of the fruits that Zehui had found for her.

"Try this. It's sour and sweet. I like it very much."

Ying Qiu tasted it and found it very refreshing: "I also like to eat these sour foods the most now. I never touched them before. Are you pregnant?"

Yuan Xiao was stunned. She had never thought about this question. Logically speaking, she and Zehui had been husband and wife for a long time, so there would of course be a chance of pregnancy.

Ying Qiu looked at her innocent look and couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed while saying, "Look at you, you're still like a little child, and you're going to be a mother! But then again, the size of the golden tiger is the largest among tigers and lions, and you're so petite, I'm really worried that you can't bear it..."

Yuan Xiao was confused. She blushed and asked Ying Qiu, "Golden Tiger? Do all beastmen have to use the beast form?"

Ying Qiu: "That's not the case. It can be in animal or human form. However, if you want to get pregnant and give birth to a cub, the male animal must be in animal form."

Yuan Xiao suddenly realized that it seemed that she was not pregnant, because Zehui had always been close to her in human form.

At night, the two females slept in the tent while the other males stayed outside.

It was late at night and Yuan Xiao had just fallen asleep when he heard Ying Qiu tossing and turning beside him.

"What's wrong with you? Can't sleep?"

Yingqiu didn't look very good and seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay. I've been having trouble sleeping lately."

She opened the tent, and Zhan Bai came over immediately. The two whispered for a while, and then Zhan Bai took out a pill from a small bag, gave it to her, and kissed her cheek.

Soon, Yingqiu lay back in the tent.

"What was that you just ate?"

"That is a sleep aid and can protect the baby in the belly. The witch doctor gave it to me before. I take it every day and it works very well..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yingqiu began to yawn, and after a while, she fell into a deep sleep.

Yuan Xiao was a little surprised. What kind of panacea was this? It worked so quickly.

She was also about to go to bed, but she heard a lot of noise outside. Now she felt a little alert, so she decided to get up and see what was going on.

When I went out, I found that everyone was gathered in front of the swamp, and Zhan Bai and Zhuang Lin were rescuing someone.

The man's half body was stuck in the swamp, and his face was covered in mud, so it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

Zhuang Lin used a vine to wrap around the man's waist and pulled him up, while Zhan Bai handed him a branch. The two of them worked together to fight against the downward force.
