Chapter 58 - : The Beast Tide Is Coming (1/2)

Cortis’ head was wet and glistening. He took deep breaths through two flat holes above his mouth.

Bai Qingqing suddenly found that Cortis’ head looked lovely. She couldn’t help but reach out to poke it.

It was so smooth!

“Ssss—” Cortis wrapped his tongue around Bai Qingqing’s pale and slender finger. He swam towards her hand and gradually wrapped himself around her body.

“What are you doing?” Bai Qingqing giggled and twisted her body to avoid him as her waist was tickled.

Cortis wrapped the midsection of his body around Bai Qingqing, then quickly moved through the water.

This was the first time Bai Qingqing was moving through water so quickly. Although she was being carried, the sensation of the currents brushing past her body was real. She enjoyed herself to her heart’s content.

The two of them only reluctantly returned to the shore when the rice and dishes were ready.

From that day forward, whenever Bai Qingqing had to eat, Cortis would choose to stop at a water source that would be convenient for him to swim in, then take the opportunity to play with her in the water.

Days passed and Bai Qingqing’s period never came, possibly because subjecting herself to the cold had worked.

The forest had been bustling with noise and excitement lately. One could often see groups of animals running about as if they were being pursued by their natural enemies.

“Cortis, are they migrating?” Bai Qingqing sat on Cortis’ arm and asked him in a bored voice.

Cortis flicked out his tongue and frowned. “No. I feel the ground vibrating, and the vibrations are very strong. I think there’s a beast tide approaching us.”

“Beast tide?” Bai Qingqing raised a beautiful eyebrow. She asked out of curiosity, “What’s a beast tide?”

She had watched a lot of Animal World 1. Why hadn’t she heard of this term before?

Cortis explained, “A beast tide is formed when giant beasts gather together. Giant beasts are enormous in size and extremely strong. The energy crystal I gave to the sheep tribe as payment was taken from the body of a giant beast.”
