After the first downpour ended, Mi Yin and Ling Hong led the Beastmen to gather supplies, build wooden houses, find suitable stone on a nearby mountain, and construct a perimeter wall.
An Jin, meanwhile, picked a few strong Beastmen to follow Xi to the sea to inspect the salt stones and clay.
The Land Beastmen were not skilled swimmers. And while An Jin had Xi's Shark Pearl inside her, allowing her to dive freely, the water during the great rainy season was bone-chillingly cold, and the undercurrents near the sea were exceptionally fierce.
So, Xi put in some effort and produced several large bubbles, encasing each of them in one of the unusually sturdy spheres before sending them into the water.
The current from the swish of the Merfolk's long tail guided the bubbles, pulling them along as he swam forward.
