Chapter 619: Only a honey trap remains

The next moment, his consciousness sank completely into boundless darkness.

The intense light and energy fluctuations in the laboratory abruptly stopped, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

After the various readings on the instrument fluctuated wildly, they quickly returned to zero.

The black stone that played a crucial role, after emitting a soft "crack" sound, completely turned into a clump of inconspicuous black powder, which fluttered down.

On the platform, the recliner remained cold, but the incomparably handsome man on it had lost all consciousness; his chest no longer rose and fell, as if he were merely a perfect shell devoid of a soul.

The laboratory was deathly silent, save for the faint beeping sound of the instruments cooling down.

Everyone stared blankly at the empty recliner, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

******
As the sun began to set, darkness gradually enveloped the entire Beast World continent.

The lights in Bai Wanwan's home were warm, and the aroma of food mingled with the chirping of her cubs, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere typical of ordinary homes.

The family sat around the large dining table, enjoying a harmonious meal.

During the meal, Chief Rong put down his chopsticks and, as usual, mentioned to Bai Wanwan, "In a couple of days, I should set off for the Elephant Tribe."

Bai Wanwan was wiping the mouth of the little leopard cub beside her when she heard this and looked up: "Yes, don't worry, we will take good care of the whole tribe."

Then, with a touch of gossip, he pressed on, "Was the female he mated with also from the elephant tribe?"

“Yes,” Chief Rong nodded, “She is the only female offspring of the Elephant Clan Chief.”

He seemed to remember something, and his tone carried a barely perceptible sigh as he added, "The reason this ceremony was held in such a hurry is mainly because... the old patriarch of the Elephant Clan is nearing the end of his life. He wants to see his female offspring and Ember Shadow become mates before he leaves, so that he can have peace of mind."

He paused, his voice lowering slightly, "The relationship between the two clans has always been good. Back then, when I was tricked and encountered danger abroad, I was rescued by that old clan chief."

He always kept this kindness in his heart.

Hearing that the old clan chief was about to pass away, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

Bai Wanwan keenly sensed his emotions.

She put down the towel in her hand and took the initiative to speak: "Since he has been kind to you and is such a respectable elder... perhaps I can go with you to see how he is doing..."

Before she could finish speaking, several voices suddenly rang out simultaneously from the side.

"no!"

"Wanwan, you can't go!"

Zhu Xiu was the first to put down his utensils. He shook his head in disapproval, “The situation outside is unclear and danger lurks. You are the holy mother of the tribe, the mother of the cubs, and our female. Your safety is above all else. Staying in the tribe is the safest choice.”

Yan Lie was so anxious he almost stood up. "Wanwan! Who knows what we'll encounter on the road? Those crazed orcs could appear at any moment."

The expressions of the other males who didn't immediately start were all the same.

Even Xin Feng, who always took her opinions seriously, gently comforted her: "Wanwan, your body has just gone through childbirth and needs rest. Traveling long distances and sleeping outdoors is not good for your recovery. The old clan chief's kindness is important, but your safety is what we all care about most."

Seeing that all the males were in agreement, Chief Rong said to Bai Wanwan, "You see, everyone disagrees. The situation outside is unclear, and even if things are calm for now, there's no guarantee there aren't hidden dangers. You're the safest person in the tribe, and only then can I leave with peace of mind." Bai Wanwan listened quietly to the beastmen's words of advice, understanding the worry and concern in their eyes.

She hadn't originally intended to go, but now, a thought became clearer: she possessed a system space, and perhaps she really could save that clan leader.

The Elephant Clan is also a super tribe, even stronger than the Tiger Clan, and it is possible to establish a more solid relationship with them.

In the future, when facing danger, there may be another path to take.

She didn't immediately refute, but waited until everyone had finished speaking before raising her eyes, her gaze calm and firm as she swept over each of the beastmen present:
“I know everyone is worried about me,” she said softly, yet with a calm strength. “I’ve thought about it carefully. It’s precisely because it might be dangerous outside that I feel I should go.”

“First of all, although you are a Red-rank, I am not really at ease with you traveling with only a few Orange-rank males. If I travel with you and bring two Red-rank beastmen, we can protect each other no matter what happens outside. In this way, the overall safety level will be higher.”

Her gaze was calm as she pointed out the most crucial point: "Furthermore, have you forgotten about those orcs controlled by dark energy? They haven't truly disappeared; they've merely gone into hiding. What if you're controlled on the road, or after arriving in the Elephant Clan? Having one or two Crimson-Rank individuals by your side means they can use potions to help you regain your sanity in time."

The person being controlled cannot take the medication on their own and must rely on others.

Three red-tiered figures traveling together are safer.

Chief Rong looked at Yin Ze and said, "Then let Yin Ze come with me. If something happens, he can easily escape. He can find an opportunity to help me then."

Bai Wanwan nodded, "Yes, it would be better if Yin Ze went with you, but you forgot, besides these reasons, I actually wanted to go see the Elephant Clan Chief. If I can help, it would be a way of repaying his kindness in saving you."

She listed her reasons one by one, each one hitting the nail on the head, showing that she was not acting arbitrarily.

Making this trip in person is a better choice, whether to repay the old chieftain's kindness or for the safety of the chieftain and the entire team.

The chieftain listened in silence, his deep eyes fixed on her.

He knew she was exceptionally capable and understood that her analysis was very reasonable.

However, he didn't want her to be involved in any potential risks.

Looking at his taut jawline, Bai Wanwan reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of his slightly clenched fist on the table, her voice softening, "Let's go together. I can face everything with you."

The chieftain knew very well that his females were different from other females and were not afraid of the outside world.

He took her warm hand in his own, holding it tightly in his palm. After a long while, he finally sighed heavily and nodded slowly.

Other beastmen also clearly disagreed, such as Zhu Xiu and Hua Han.

In their eyes, the life or death of others is not as important as that of Wanwan.

Hua Han's peach blossom eyes glistened with tears as she gazed intently at Bai Wanwan. "Wanwan, please don't go. It's so dangerous outside. I'll worry so much I won't be able to eat or sleep. You stay in the tribe, and I'll stay with you every day, hunting the tenderest prey and finding the sweetest fruits for you, okay?"

Bai Wanwan's heart softened when she saw him like this.

"I'll be very, very careful, and I'll be back very soon. Please take good care of the house and the babies for me, and when I return, I'll bring you a special gift just for you, okay?"

She leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words, making some intimate little promises that only the two of them knew.
