Chapter 314 Xin Feng is nearby
Bai Wanwan shouted as she examined the corpses.

With each turn, a sense of dread rose within her.

Seeing that it wasn't Xin Feng, a glimmer of hope returned to her.

Soon, her fingers turned red from the cold, but she stubbornly brushed away the snow from each corpse to confirm that it wasn't her silver wolf.

"No...this isn't it either..." she murmured to herself, her voice trembling more and more.

They had searched almost every orc corpse in the area, but still couldn't find Xin Feng.

“White Curtain, you and your beast mate search around here, and I will take them to search further afield.”

Bai Wanwan's face was pale, and her reactions were noticeably slower than usual.

"Okay, thank you."

Jin Yue sighed as he looked at her.

What a wonderful female! He had never seen a female brave the freezing cold to go out, let alone one that would brave the heavy snow to search for her missing mate.

Even without this beastman, they can find even more.

But Bai Wanwan, a female, seemed different; she cherished her beast mates very much.

Jin Yue sighed, and seeing her persistence, he was also encouraged.

She was also holding her breath, determined to help Bai Wanwan find her beast mate.

He led the other males to expand the search area, searching at an extremely fast pace.

Bai Wanwan disregarded the bitter cold and went with Yan Lie to search on the other side.

In the distance, shouts of "Not here" and "Not found here either" could be heard from time to time.

As time passed, Bai Wanwan's heart continued to sink.

She mechanically continued her search, her eyes stinging and watering from staring at the snow for so long; the tears quickly froze into tiny ice crystals on her cheeks.

Xin Feng, you'll be alright!
I will definitely find you!
As darkness fell, the leaden clouds pressed lower, seemingly foreshadowing another heavy snowfall.

After a long, long time, Jin Yue ran over with a heavy heart.

“White Curved Female, we should go back. The Black Bear tribe hasn’t retreated too far, and the temperature will drop sharply after dark. You won’t be able to stand it.”

Bai Wanwan seemed not to hear, her gaze suddenly falling on the dark outline of the mountains not far away: "I'm going to look over there."

"It's too dangerous!" Jin Yue exclaimed urgently, withdrawing his gaze. "The Black Bear clan could launch another attack at any moment, and the weather will be even colder at night. You won't be able to withstand it!"

The nighttime weather is unbearable, not to mention the females, even high-ranking males like them would find it difficult to endure.

Yan Lie was still scratching, but he remained steadfastly by Bai Wanwan's side.

"Jin Yue, keep looking. If Wanwan is really too cold to stand it, then we'll go back."

He had just asked Wanwan several times, and Wanwan said she had supplies in the system and that she could hold out.

He also didn't want to see anything happen to Xin Feng, whom he considered like a brother.

So he wanted to believe in Wanwan and keep looking; maybe he would find her?

Jin Yue's face showed an extremely troubled expression. "Bai Wanwan, although I don't want to say this, but... so much time has passed, it's very likely that Xin Feng has been taken away by the Black Bear Tribe."

Bai Wanwan took a light breath; she had considered this possibility.

She wouldn't give up until she kept looking.

What if?
What if Xin Feng was injured and went into hiding to avoid being hunted down by the Black Bear Beastmen?
"Let's search a little longer. If we can't find it, I'll go back with you."

Jin Yue glanced at the other golden lions and finally sighed, "Alright, let's search a little longer. If we still haven't found it, we have to go back. We can't let anything happen to you."

"it is good."

Bai Wanwan nodded gratefully to him, then climbed back onto Yan Lie's back.

The group of orcs continued their journey into the mountains, moving much slower than they had on the plains. The trees grew denser, and the roots and rocks hidden beneath the snow made progress difficult.

Yan Lie's breathing grew heavier and heavier. He was so badly injured, yet he still accompanied him outside to search for Xin Feng.

Feeling guilty, she reached out and gently stroked the hair on his back. "Yan Lie, can you still hold on?"

Yan Lie turned around and grinned at her, "Don't worry about me, Wanwan, if you can handle it, of course I can!"

After saying that, he couldn't resist the sudden, intense itch that had arisen, so he raised his paw and scratched his neck hard twice.

Bai Wanwan noticed and quickly reached out to block his hand, "Renren, you already have too many wounds..."

She scratched away the wound medicine repeatedly, applying it again and again.

At a time like this, she couldn't care less about points.

You can earn more points, but if the person is gone, you lose everything.

So even though she knew that applying the wound medicine at this point would be pointless, she still patiently applied it to Yan Lie again and again in order to reduce his bleeding.

Thinking of points, Bai Wanwan suddenly thought of peanuts.

Although I know that peanuts have no other use besides the points mall.

But she had no other choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

“Peanuts…” she called out to the system in her mind.

Peanut quickly responded, "Host, I'm here."

Bai Wanwan immediately asked, "Can you sense where Xin Feng is?"

"Host, I can only confirm that he is in the nearby mountains, but I don't know his exact location." Peanut's voice was apologetic. "After the system is upgraded, there will be tools for finding people, but right now... there's really no way to help you."

After hearing this, Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up. "You can sense him? Then do you know if he's still alive?"

“Host, they have a mission relationship with you, so I can sense them to some extent. What I can tell you right now is that he is still alive.”

The weight that had been hanging over Bai Wanwan's heart finally lifted.

Just be alive!

As long as you are alive there is hope.

She quickly turned her head and looked around; it was already very dark.

As orcs, their eyesight is only slightly better than that of humans.

Even in the dim light, she still needed to look very carefully to see things clearly.

Suddenly, she noticed an unnatural mark in the bushes on her right, like a snow mark left by something rubbing against it.

Further away, several branches were violently broken, and something seemed to be hanging from them.

"Over there!" She immediately pointed in that direction, her heart pounding like a drum.

Jin Yue sniffed the air warily: "There's been a fight around here, there's a smell of blood..."

They followed the tracks and found drag marks and scattered bloodstains on the snow.

Bai Wanwan's heart was in turmoil, both hoping to find Xin Feng quickly and fearing the scenes she didn't want to face.

The traces disappeared in front of a rock wall.

Bai Wanwan slid off Yan Lie's back, ignoring the others' attempts to stop her, and pushed aside the withered vines in front of the rock wall, revealing a cave entrance behind her.

"Xin Feng?" she called softly, her voice echoing in the cave.

This looks like a hiding place; it would be perfect if Xin Feng were injured and wanted to find a place to hide.

She walked quickly inside, calling Xin Feng's name repeatedly...

As I was writing, the plot changed, and I haven't decided whether to write it that way yet. I can't add an extra chapter today, but I'll have to spend some time thinking about it again tomorrow and then add an extra chapter for everyone.
