Chapter 597: The Investigation Begins

"Hmm?" Xin Feng tilted his head slightly, a questioning look on his face. "What are you going to do?"

“I need to find those orcs in the Tiger Clan who are controlled by dark energy as soon as possible.” Bai Wanwan lowered her voice and said seriously, “They may still be lying in wait and have not been exposed by orders, but only by eliminating these hidden dangers in advance can I truly feel at ease.”

She paused, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the cubs playing in the room, her voice tinged with vigilance, "With so many cubs, we must eliminate all potential safety hazards beforehand."

Xin Feng held her hand; he understood Wanwan's feelings perfectly. "Can you pinpoint them accurately?"

Bai Wanwan returned his smile with a reassuring smile and nodded: "I can. You know, I have some...special secrets."

"It helps me identify them. So don't worry, Yan Lie and Yin Ze are with me, and we're staying within the tribe, so we won't go far and it's safe. Today, I'll trouble you to take care of the kids."

She had originally planned to take Xin Feng out, but since it was his turn to stay home and take care of the kids today, she didn't want to disrupt the males' plans.

It would be the same if Yan Lie and the others accompanied him.

Xin Feng stared at her for a moment. "Are you really confident?"

"Yeah, don't worry, they're here! I promise I'll stand far away after I recognize them, and let Yan Lie and the others catch them."

Xin Feng understood her and knew that once she made a decision, she would definitely do it.

With a sigh, I ultimately chose to trust and support them.

"Okay, I'll go and call Yin Ze back." He agreed softly and turned to make the arrangements.

Yan Lie was downstairs processing his prey, while Yin Ze was conducting a routine patrol near his residence.

As for Zhu Xiu, it was just his turn to lead the hunting team out to obtain food for the tribe.

A short while later, Yin Ze and Yan Lie were both called back by Xin Feng.

Yan Lie had already learned about the situation from Xin Feng. He patted his chest and assured Xin Feng, "Don't worry! With Yin Ze and I, both at the Crimson Rank, here, we'll protect Wanwan perfectly. Not a single hair on her head will be touched!"

"You'd better keep your word," Xin Feng reminded him.

Xin Feng carefully helped Bai Wanwan finish her breakfast, and watched her wave goodbye as she left, flanked by Yin Ze and Yan Lie, who were guarding her on either side.

Even after they disappeared from sight, the lingering worry in my heart had not completely dissipated.

He gently closed the door and returned to the room, tenderly scooping up a mischievous leopard cub that was trying to crawl out of the animal skin blanket and holding it back in his arms. He thought to himself: There are still too few males in the house. Jin Yi is still far away in the Golden Lion tribe and has not yet returned...

That's why he has to protect this home and watch over their cubs.

******
Bai Wanwan, accompanied by two powerful beastmen, began to "wander" through the tiger tribe's residential area according to a pre-planned route.

She would even occasionally take the liberty of knocking on the doors of some orcs and offering her a visit.

But she did it in a very clever and comfortable way.

"I've come on behalf of the chieftain to see if you've had any difficulties lately. Is there enough food? Are the cubs alright?" Her smile was sincere, and her tone was concerned, making it impossible for anyone to feel any aversion.

The orcs being questioned were often flattered and gratefully replied, "No problem at all, thank you so much, Chieftain and for your concern! Food is plentiful, and the Tiger Clan is far safer than the outside world!"

They had long learned about the chaos and dangers of the outside world from the increasing number of beastmen who came to join them, and they cherished the current situation of the tiger clan immensely.

Bai Wanwan then took the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​establishing a cub park: "In order to provide better protection and care for the cubs, and to put your minds at ease, the tribe's 'cub park' will be completed in a few days. We will gather the young cubs together for unified care and education... and there will also be a strong male guard team to protect them."

After mentioning this matter to the chieftain, he immediately ordered someone to take action. The nursery is located near their residence and is already half-built; it is estimated to be completed in a few days.

Most of the orcs readily agreed to the proposal immediately. They trusted Bai Wanwan and understood that it was indeed beneficial to the entire tribe and the cubs.

Only a few orcs were not comfortable entrusting their cubs to other orcs for care.

"It's alright, those who are willing can send it over, and those who are not can keep it by their side and watch over it."

Her purpose in building the cub enclosure was that taking care of the cubs was too much of a waste of the orcs' energy, and unified care could save a lot of manpower to do other things.

While Bai Wanwan used these casual conversations to build closer relationships with her clansmen, she also silently communicated with the system in her mind:

"Peanut, have you detected any orcs with abnormal energy?"

"Host, no orcs controlled by dark energy have been detected within the current scanning range."

"Okay, continue to expand the scanning area, don't miss any corners."

From dawn till dusk, they only walked through a few streets in the core area.

As darkness fell, the number of orcs on the street gradually decreased.

Yan Lie looked at Bai Wanwan's undisguised exhaustion and said with heartache, "Wanwan, you've been searching all day. Go back and rest first. We'll come out with you again tomorrow to continue the search."

Bai Wanwan rubbed her slightly throbbing temples, thinking that the Tiger Clan was large in scale and had many beastmen, so it was indeed not something that could be investigated in a day or two.

She was about to nod in agreement and head home

"Warning! Dark energy detected!" The system alarm suddenly sounded in her mind!

"Host, the male orc in the white animal skin skirt who is about to turn into the alley diagonally in front of you has been deeply controlled!"

Bai Wanwan's spirits lifted instantly, and all her fatigue vanished in an instant.

Her eyes flashed like lightning, instantly locking onto her target: a seemingly inconspicuous male who was walking briskly with his head down.

"Are you sure? Is it the male wearing white animal skin with a notch in his left ear?"

"Confirmed!"

Having received confirmation from the system, Bai Wanwan no longer hesitated.

She quickly turned her head and whispered to Yin Ze and Yan Lie, who were on high alert beside her, "Follow the male in the white animal skin. Make your move when we reach a secluded spot with few people. Be quick and try not to be spotted by the other beastmen!"

To avoid causing panic, these things must be done in secret.

Yin Ze and Yan Lie's eyes instantly sharpened, like beasts locking onto their prey, and their auras quietly gathered.

"Yan Lie, go catch him, I'll bring Wanwan and follow."

Yan Lie nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Then, they silently blended into the deepening night, stealthily moving towards their target who was completely unaware that they had been exposed.
