Hu Yan carried Su Qinglan tightly in his strong arms while sprinting rapidly through Dragon Beast City. The wind brushed fiercely against their bodies as the scenery around them blurred past at terrifying speed.
Normally, Su Qinglan would never allow herself to be carried around so casually, especially now that her stomach had already grown so large. But this time, she remained unusually quiet and obedient.
Because both of them clearly understood one thing.
Bai Ling’s condition must already be extremely serious.
Otherwise, Wen Ru would never have looked so panicked earlier while delivering the news.
Hu Yan naturally understood Su Qinglan’s worry very well, so he did not hesitate at all before directly picking her up and rushing toward Bai Ling’s house at full speed. He only tightened his hold around her more carefully, afraid she might accidentally get hurt while they hurried there.
Meanwhile, Su Qinglan rested quietly against his chest while her fingers unconsciously gripped his clothes tightly.
Her mind felt chaotic and restless as countless terrible possibilities continuously appeared inside her head. She could only close her eyes briefly while praying silently that nothing bad had happened to Bai Ling and the cubs.
Suddenly...
Ding!
A familiar notification sound rang clearly inside her mind.
Su Qinglan immediately opened her eyes again.
"Xuyu?"
The system’s serious voice quickly echoed inside her head.
"Host, Bai Ling’s current condition is extremely dangerous and critical."
The moment she heard those words, Su Qinglan’s heart immediately tightened painfully. Her fingers stiffened slightly around Hu Yan’s clothes while she waited nervously for the system’s explanation.
The system quickly continued speaking in a serious tone.
"In late pregnancy, especially when birth is already near, a heavy fall onto a pointed rock or hard object can become life threatening. The female body becomes extremely vulnerable during this stage because the cubs are already fully developed and the uterus is under great pressure."
Su Qinglan’s face slowly turned pale while listening carefully.
"If the abdomen suffers heavy impact, several dangerous complications may happen immediately. The most common danger is placental abruption. This means the placenta partially separates from the uterus after the trauma. Once that happens, heavy bleeding begins and the cubs may rapidly lose oxygen supply."
Su Qinglan’s breathing immediately became heavier.
The system continued explaining calmly.
"Another danger is internal injury. A strong impact may damage the uterus or surrounding blood vessels, especially if the female falls directly onto her lower abdomen or side. Heavy blood loss can quickly lead to shock, unconsciousness, weakness, cold skin, and eventually organ failure."
Hu Yan could clearly feel Su Qinglan’s body stiffening slightly in his arms while listening.
"And finally..." the system continued gravely, "if labor does not progress naturally because the female loses consciousness or strength, the cubs may remain trapped inside too long. Once oxygen supply decreases severely, the cubs may suffocate inside the womb."
At that moment, Su Qinglan finally realized how truly critical the situation had become.
Her heart sank heavily.
Not only was Bai Ling in danger...
Even the cubs might not survive.
Just then, Hu Yan finally arrived outside Bai Ling’s house. The atmosphere around the house was already chaotic and tense.
Many tribe members had gathered nearby with worried expressions while sobbing continuously echoed from inside the house.
The moment Hu Yan stopped, Su Qinglan immediately jumped down from his arms and rushed inside without hesitation.
The strong metallic smell of blood instantly assaulted her senses the moment she entered the room.
Su Qinglan’s expression immediately changed.
