Chapter 642 Danger is coming!

In the square, the festive atmosphere reached its climax under the guidance of the tribal shaman.

Soon, Cloud and the male who was about to become her mate stood up, ready to receive the cheers and blessings of the entire orc tribe, as was their tradition.

However, Yun Duo kept staring intently in Jin Ying's direction. Her eyes, which should have been filled with happiness, were now filled with grievance and an almost stubborn unwillingness, as if she wanted to burn through his figure.

The Elephant Clan Chief sat in the main seat, his face already grim. He repeatedly reminded her with his eyes and soft coughs before Yun Duo seemed to suddenly wake up. Reluctantly, with red eyes, she turned to the male beside her who was about to become her partner, but who seemed extremely awkward at this moment.

This subtle scene naturally caught the eye of Bai Wanwan in the audience.

She glanced instinctively at Jin Ying, who was sitting not far away, to see how he would react to her gaze.

Unexpectedly, Jin Ying didn't look at the clouds on the platform at all, but instead stared calmly and directly in his direction.

His gaze was complex, carrying a depth she couldn't decipher.

Bai Wanwan paused for a moment, feeling a little strange. Just as she was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of a male orc next to her, who was walking past Jin Ying's seat with his head down and his movements slightly stiff.

His expression, however, was completely different from the other jubilant orcs, revealing an abnormal dullness and emptiness.

A familiar sense of vigilance instantly gripped Bai Wanwan.

She immediately gave the order in her mind: "Peanut, quickly scan the orc next to Ember Shadow, and focus on checking if he is controlled by dark energy!"

"Okay, host, start a deep scan immediately." The system responded.

Before long, Peanut finished scanning the orc and gave an affirmative answer: "Host, your guess was correct. The energy reaction characteristics match. That is indeed an orc controlled by dark energy, and its consciousness is suppressed."

Bai Wanwan was startled, and her brows furrowed tightly.

Are the forces behind Roger starting to stir again?
What do they want to do?
Her gaze sharpened, quickly and carefully searching through the noisy, joyful crowd, not missing a single suspicious sign.

Meanwhile, Jin Ying, upon seeing Bai Wanwan looking at him, felt a surge of indescribable excitement and joy.

But soon he realized that her attention had been completely drawn to the strange male passing by.

This made his heart sink for no apparent reason.

Seeing that she was staring at the other person for a while with a focused and serious look in her eyes, Jin Ying subconsciously looked at the orc as well. But from his appearance, he didn’t find anything special about him. He only had an orange-tier talent and his appearance was very ordinary.

He knew that Wanwan had extremely high standards, judging from the chieftains, Jin Yi, and Yin Ze surrounding her, as well as the beastmen who were not with her this time.

Each one is a top-tier male, one in a million, in terms of strength, appearance, and ability.

What is it about this ordinary orc that makes her stare at him so intently?

He was secretly wondering and speculating about various possibilities when Bai Wanwan had already turned her gaze away.

She was extremely vigilant, her gaze sweeping and scanning the other reveling male orcs like a highly sophisticated radar. With her familiarity with the dark energy and the system's assistance, Bai Wanwan quickly spotted more than a dozen suspicious orcs in the dense crowd whose behavior was somewhat stiff and whose eyes lacked clarity.

She immediately instructed the system to lock onto and scan these targets, and clearly marked them on the virtual map within her field of vision, so that they could be quickly located and not lost when action was needed.

Just then, the main part of the marriage ceremony above was completed. The tribal shaman, holding a bone needle symbolizing blessing and covenant and a special dye, was about to carve a partner totem on the arms of the two orcs who had just exchanged vows.

However, Bai Wanwan's heart was in her throat.

She noticed that the marked puppet orcs had begun to move in a unified manner.

She immediately lowered her voice and spoke urgently to Chief Rong, Jin Yi, and Yin Ze in a tone only those nearby could hear: "More than a dozen orcs controlled by dark energy have infiltrated our vicinity. Moreover... they are using the crowd as cover to slowly move towards the Elephant Clan Chief's location. This is very strange; their target is likely the Chief!"

Upon hearing this, the chieftain's expression hardened, and he quickly raised his eyes, his gaze flashing like lightning as he looked in the direction Bai Wanwan had indicated.

Guided by Bai Wanwan, he immediately caught the seemingly casual yet clearly targeted movements of the orcs. They were moving silently towards the main seat from different directions, like a silent tide.

Clearly, these orcs have received explicit instructions; they are being controlled by an invisible hand to complete a dangerous mission.

It is very likely that they assassinated the Elephant Clan Chief, who had just recovered from his illness and was the weakest in terms of defense!

He also couldn't leave Wanwan's side when there was danger around; he had to ensure her absolute safety.

We cannot stand idly by and watch them carry out their conspiracy, endangering the Elephant Clan Chief and destroying the solid alliance between the two clans.

In a flash, the chieftain made a decision.

He immediately had Jin Yi and Yin Ze form the tightest protective circle to shield Wanwan, one on each side.

Immediately, he quickly got up and walked a few steps to Jin Ying, who had also noticed the strange atmosphere and was observing his surroundings with a serious expression.

Chieftain approached Embershadow and spoke quickly and clearly in a voice only the two of them could hear: "The situation is urgent! You'd better get to the chieftain immediately! There are controlled orcs who are using the crowd as cover to approach the chieftain. Their intentions are unclear, but they are definitely not friendly!"

Upon hearing the chieftain's sudden warning, Jin Ying's pupils contracted sharply. He immediately turned his head to look carefully in the direction of the main seat and indeed discovered several furtive figures.

Without further hesitation, he nodded quickly to the chieftain, and then, like a ghost, using his familiarity with the terrain and his superb stealth skills, he swiftly moved through the noisy and frenzied beastmen, silently and incredibly fast approaching the high platform where the chieftain was, preparing to intercept the danger.

The festive atmosphere continued, and apart from them, no other orc noticed the approaching danger.

With his familiarity with the terrain and his agile skills, Jin Ying quickly made his way through the noisy crowd and arrived at the main seat where the Elephant Clan Chief was seated.

His sudden approach made the Elephant Clan Chief, who was still furious about the broken engagement, even more gloomy. He snorted coldly, turned his head away, and didn't give him a kind look at all, not even sparing him a glance.

But Jin Ying seemed oblivious to the clan leader's cold treatment and ignored the questioning or dissatisfied glances from the other core members of the Elephant Clan.

Like the most loyal sentry, he stood silently and firmly beside the chieftain in a position that was convenient for defense and counterattack. No matter how the chieftain tried to drive him away with his eyes or even scolded him in a low voice to "get out," he did not leave his side.
