Chapter 598 Making as many preparations as possible
Yan Lie was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he left them far behind.

"Wanwan, I'll carry you on my back."

Bai Wanwan knew she couldn't keep up on her own two legs, so she immediately pounced on Yin Ze's broad back.

With a slight effort, Yin Ze steadily hoisted his female onto his back, then strode forward quickly.

The night was as dark as ink, gently enveloping the outline of the Tiger Clan tribe.

Bai Wanwan, perched on Yin Ze's shoulder, could already see Yan Lie's back as he silently followed the male dressed in white animal skin.

The male seemed oblivious, still keeping his head down, and hurriedly turned into the narrower, darker alley between the two stone houses, his figure about to be swallowed up by the deep shadows.

Yan Lie's figure accelerated suddenly like a ghost, closing in on the target's back in the blink of an eye.

Without issuing any warnings or making any noise, his left hand shot out like lightning, targeting the back of the other person's neck.

However, the male, who had his head down, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Just as Yan Lie's fingertips were about to touch his skin, the other party subconsciously turned to the side and narrowly avoided it.

The male orc clad in white animal skin suddenly looked up, his eyes instantly losing their previous normalcy and filled with a wild, wary suspicion. He lowered his voice and hissed, "Yan Lie? What are you doing?"

He recognized Yan Lie; he knew that Yan Lie was a powerful Crimson-rank male who shared the same precious wife as the clan leader, and was a highly respected figure in the tribe.

That's why he was even more puzzled and wary.

In a flash, the sharpness on Yan Lie's face vanished, replaced by a slightly embarrassed and realizing smile. He withdrew his hand, scratched the back of his head sheepishly, and replied naturally, "Oh dear! Look at my eyes. It was too dark, and I mistook you for that guy who sneaked into the tribe and caused trouble a few days ago. Did I scare you?"

As he spoke, he patted the other person's shoulder familiarly and reassuringly.

Feeling the seemingly casual yet powerful pat from Yan Lie's hand, and the reasonable explanation, the other person's tense muscles visibly relaxed.

The wariness in his eyes dissipated considerably, and he even managed an understanding smile: "Oh, I see. No..."

Before he could even utter the word "relationship," another unexpected turn of events occurred!
Just as he relaxed and was completely off guard, Yan Lie's hand, which had just patted his shoulder, rose again with a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, transforming into a blade and swiftly slashing at the back of his neck with precisely controlled force!

“You…” The male orc’s eyes flashed with extreme shock and disbelief. His pupils contracted sharply, and he only managed to utter a muffled syllable before his consciousness, like a candle flame being extinguished, quickly plunged into darkness.

His body went limp, and he fell straight forward.

However, Yan Lie seemed to have anticipated this, and his other strong arm was already prepared. The moment he collapsed, it steadily supported his heavy body, preventing any sound from falling to the ground.

The whole process was clean and efficient, from disguise to surprise attack, it only took a few breaths.

Bai Wanwan immediately stepped out from the shadows and came to Yan Lie's side. Looking at the unconscious orc who was easily supported by Yan Lie, she breathed a long sigh of relief, then looked up at Yan Lie and gave him an approving smile, while also giving him a thumbs up.

"Well done, Yanlie!"

Fortunately, Yan Lie reacted quickly enough and acted realistically enough, using a small misunderstanding to dispel the other party's vigilance and avoid a possible fierce conflict and unnecessary commotion.

If we had acted forcefully just now, although we could have subdued them, there was no guarantee that we wouldn't cause a bigger commotion, and we might even have injured them. It would be best to find all these controlled orcs quietly, so as not to cause panic among the tiger orcs.

Yan Lie received praise from his female companion, and a small, smug smile appeared on his face. He carefully adjusted his posture, carrying the unconscious orc more securely on his shoulder, and whispered, "Wanwan, what should we do next?"

Bai Wanwan's gaze swept across the silent surroundings, and she spoke directly: "Yin Ze, keep watch ahead, warn us if anyone comes."

"Okay." Yin Ze replied briefly, then quietly moved a few steps away, cautiously observing the surrounding environment.

"Yan Lie, help me lift him up."

Yan Lie immediately took action and helped the orc to his feet.

Without delay, Bai Wanwan immediately took out a potion from the system space that could break the control of dark energy, poured out ten milliliters, and carefully fed it into the other party's mouth.

Watching the medicine slide smoothly down his throat, Bai Wanwan checked with the system again before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

“That’s fine,” she smiled at Yan Lie and instructed softly, “Take him to the main road, wake him up before you leave, and try to dispel any suspicions he may have.”

"Okay, Wanwan, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he picked up the orc and quickly disappeared from Bai Wanwan's sight.

After noticing this, Yin Ze slowly moved towards Bai Wanwan's side. "Is it all taken care of?"

Bai Wanwan nodded with a smile, "Yes, as long as we find these controlled orcs silently and remove the control from them, we only need to unite and fight against them. The Tiger Clan will definitely not be destroyed by those dark forces."

Yin Ze held her hand. "Yes, the Tiger Clan will be alright."

Because the distance wasn't far, Yan Lie quickly returned to their side. "It's getting late, Wanwan, let's go back quickly, otherwise Xin Feng and the others will worry."

Now that everything was resolved, there was no need for them to linger any longer. "Okay, let's go back."

The two males shielded her in the middle and hurried back towards home. Before they got close, they saw Hua Han walking towards them, his slender figure looking somewhat anxious in the night.

Upon seeing Bai Wanwan, the fox visibly relaxed, the worry in its eyes fading: "Why are you back so late? I was just about to go out and look for you."

Bai Wanwan gave him a reassuring smile and took his arm: "Don't worry, we found an orc controlled by dark energy, and it took us a while to deal with it."

As she walked in, she brought up another important matter: "By the way, I want to build another wall around the cub enclosure. Only the males on duty can come in, and the rest can only patrol outside."

Hua Han always granted her requests. "Alright, I'll talk to the beastmen who are building it tomorrow. As for the beastmen sent by the chieftain to guard the area, I've divided them into four teams as you requested, so they can take turns guarding the cub enclosure. In addition, one of us will stay behind to oversee it. Don't worry, Wanwan, if there's a problem with the entire tiger clan, there won't be any problems with the cub enclosure."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan's tired face finally showed a genuine sense of relaxation and satisfaction.
