Chapter 629 A false alarm

Bai Wanwan's heart sank to the bottom, and a chilling feeling spread to her limbs and bones.

She stared at the pitch-black screen, as if she could see through it the insect worth 10,000 points, carrying an important mission, turning into dust in the hands of that terrifying being.

She slowly and somewhat stiffly raised her head and looked at the two beastmen beside her.

They all clearly saw the horrifying final scene and heard the soft cracking sound.

For a moment, the cave fell into dead silence. Bai Wanwan opened her mouth, but felt her throat tighten and couldn't say a word.

Failure, lingering fear, and shock at the power and alertness of that "Beast God" intertwined, choking her voice.

They have likely been exposed.

Jin Yi reacted the fastest. He took the tablet from Bai Wanwan's hand and then helped her up from the ground. "Wanwan, we need to get out of here as soon as possible."

Jin Yi's voice was extremely low, and his tone was more urgent and solemn than ever before.

Judging by the time, their current location is not far from where the "Beast God" is. However, based on the speed that the other party just displayed on the screen, even though they are powerful red-rank males, they felt a strong sense of crisis that was enough to threaten their lives.

The situation was critical, and there was no time to hesitate or plan.

Jin Yi only said one sentence to her, then quickly said to Yin Ze, who was also tense beside him, "Take care of Wanwan, pack up and get ready, we're leaving immediately."

After saying that, he didn't linger and quickly walked to the chieftain who was quietly arranging the night watch near the cave entrance. He then succinctly explained the terrifying scene that had just occurred on the screen and the destruction of the reconnaissance device.

The chieftain's expression instantly turned serious, his eyes sharp as knives.

Without asking a single question, he immediately turned around and made a series of complex and swift hand gestures to all the orcs sitting or lying down in the cave.

There was no commotion, no questions.

In this dry and spacious cave, all the orcs moved like the most precise machines, silently gathering their few belongings, extinguishing the campfire, covering up their tracks, and then, like shadows blending into the night, quickly and orderly leaving the temporary shelter they had just found.

Only suppressed breathing and the faint rustling of clothes remained in the air.

Bai Wanwan knew that the crisis did not end with the destruction of the reconnaissance device; like a tide in the dark night, it was quietly spreading.

Lying on Jin Yi's furry back, it would occasionally look back...

Returning to the Tiger Clan is unrealistic now, so they have no choice but to bite the bullet and continue towards the Elephant Clan, which is at least a super tribe with high-ranking orcs from various tribes coming there, making it relatively safe.

Under the cover of darkness, the males, like the most cautious predators, moved swiftly and silently through the forest.

The atmosphere remained tense, and every orc knew that a potential threat might be lurking behind them.

After observing for a while, Bai Wanwan took advantage of a break in her journey to open the system panel in her mind again.

She struggled internally, hesitating whether to risk spending her points to exchange for a flying scout bird to check the situation over there, at least to confirm whether the other side was tracking her.

The system keenly sensed her thoughts and immediately spoke in her mind: "Host, the insect-shaped reconnaissance device has not been exposed, you don't need to worry."

"Not exposed?" Bai Wanwan was stunned, asking herself in her heart. The scene of being crushed was still vivid in her mind.

“Yes,” the system’s voice carried an absolute confidence in a technological creation, “The shape-mimicking reconnaissance device cannot be detected by the biological cognitive system of this interface as not being a real organism. Even if the other party’s perception is extremely keen and can vaguely capture the weak energy frequency or signal released when it operates internally, it cannot understand what it is, let alone connect it with ‘reconnaissance’. Because in terms of shape, material, and life reaction, it is just a rather peculiar, or rather, rather ‘hard’ insect.”

The system's explanation relieved Bai Wanwan, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

As long as their biggest trump card—their unconventional reconnaissance capabilities—is not exposed, the loss of a single reconnaissance device is still within acceptable limits.

She immediately patted Jin Yi on the back, signaling him to slow down, and at the same time called out to the chieftain who was leading the way.

She quickly and simply relayed the system's explanation to him.

After hearing this, the chieftain's solemn expression eased slightly.

"It's best we weren't discovered; it's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune." But he didn't let his guard down, his sharp eyes still scanning the dark jungle around him. "But... we should still leave tonight and reach the Elephant Tribe as soon as possible before I can feel at ease."

According to Jin Yi, the "Beast God's" strength far exceeded expectations, and he had to ensure Wanwan's safety first.

Although he had prepared himself for potential dangers when he came out, he still couldn't help but worry when the imminent and heart-pounding crisis actually arrived.

He was worried that if he couldn't protect Wanwan, she would get hurt.

This concern made him even more cautious.

So they didn't waste any more time on the way and sped up, heading towards the elephant tribe's territory.

Meanwhile, inside that deep, dark cave passage...
The "Beast God" stared at the shriveled "insect" in his hand, its intricate internal structure completely crushed, leaving only its outer shell. He frowned, his brows covered in blisters.

Is it really a worm?
Why did he feel so strongly that he was being spied on?

After staring at it for a while, he casually tossed the clump of crushed insect mud aside, as if flicking away a tiny speck of dust.

But he didn't think much of it; perhaps it was just some kind of insect he had never seen before.

Roger followed his gesture and glanced at the insects on the ground.

If his feelings were an illusion, then the "Beast God" was also an illusion?
He stared at the insects crushed into mud on the ground, and frowned...

The next second, a huge hand covered in scars and blisters slammed heavily onto Roger's shoulder, who was lost in thought.

Roger quickly regained his senses, turned around respectfully and stood up straight to look at the other party, "Beast God, do you have any other instructions?"

“Your idea is good,” the Beast God’s voice remained strangely deep, “but I have other ideas that I need your help to implement…”

He leaned slightly closer to Roger's ear and began to whisper his instructions.

The sound was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, foreshadowing a more secretive and dangerous conspiracy about to unfold against Bai Wanwan and the Tiger Clan.

Roger listened respectfully with his head bowed, but a complex and unfathomable light flashed in his eyes.
