RPAGF Chapter 127 No Trace
Chapter 127 No Trace
There are two! Yunmeng wanted to emphasize it again, but then she thought that since they were together, they should be protected together, it was just a matter of different ways of saying it.
"Scarface is mainly in charge of our team's search mission. Firstly, his beast form is a pit bull, and dog-beastmen have a keen sense of smell, which will help him find the results better. Secondly, his combat strength is second only to me, at level nine, which is sufficient for this forest!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Scarface, then at the remaining five team members. They were all cat-beastmen from the Lynx tribe, and according to the rules of balanced combat power distribution, they were all only at level five combat power. At this moment, they naturally had no choice but to obey orders.
However, upon hearing these instructions, which did not assign any tasks to them, they couldn't help but look puzzled. "Master Yun, what... what are we supposed to do?"
"You're in charge of logistics, which means taking good care of the two females!" He pointed to Xixi and Nuannuan. "The conditions along the way have been tough, and both females are pregnant. You must do everything you can to make them as comfortable as possible!"
"Huh?" The five males were stunned. Was this a bit of an insult to them?
But then I thought about it again. Jin Da and Jin Er were Nuan Nuan's beast husbands, so taking care of Nuan Nuan was their duty. Even if Yun Dongjia didn't say anything, they would try their best to take care of her along the way.
As for the remaining three, they were all single males, whether by coincidence or accident is unknown.
With this care, he will surely be able to spend his days and nights with the two females. If he performs well, wouldn't he be able to be taken as a beast mate?
Whether it's the future shaman's beast-beast husband or the future chieftain's soulmate, either way, it's enough to make him hold his head high like a cat!
After a brief moment of astonishment, the five men immediately beamed with joy and began to serve the two noble females attentively, as if afraid of upsetting them in any way.
Nuannuan clearly hadn't expected to receive such treatment while traveling. After her initial apprehension, she accepted it as a matter of course.
Xixi was worried about Pangju and annoyed that she hadn't taken good care of Xida, so she couldn't just lie down peacefully.
After Scarface searched around during the day, she also dragged Yunxi along to climb to the treetop, trying to get a better view and search for Fat Orange while hoping to see her little bird fluttering its wings and flying towards her.
At night, she was unwilling to rest early. She insisted on keeping Scarface and Fourth Uncle by her side, comforting them and explaining that since she hadn't been able to help much, she would try her best to relieve their male worries.
A single act of emotional reassurance can eliminate more than 80% of the berserk factor, making the male feel completely unaffected. However, the remaining berserk factor remains a hidden danger, just like the old man Fang. Despite recent reassurance, the berserk factor quickly re-emerged. This is partly due to his own actions, but the fact that it wasn't completely eradicated is also a contributing factor.
After several days of repeated emotional reassurance, the berserk factor in Yun Dongjia and Scarface's bodies dropped to its limit, making them almost indistinguishable from newborn cubs!
During this time, Yunxi was extremely jealous, but he also felt sorry for Xixi's hard work. He couldn't pester Xixi at night, so he tried his best to act cute during the day.
Even if it was just a small white snake that Xixi held and played with, it made him feel completely comfortable.
This kind of meticulous mental reassurance has also greatly benefited Xixi's mental strength. In the past few days, she has found that her control over her mental strength has become stronger and stronger.
If she were to target Fang Lao again, it probably wouldn't take more than an hour; forty minutes would likely suffice!
Days passed by, and half a month had passed since they left the lynx tribe. Xixi's belly had started to swell slightly, but there was still no clue about Fatty Orange.
Discouraged voices gradually emerged from the group. Many people believed that after such a long period of time and such a wide-ranging search, not to mention killing magical beasts, they had even fought dozens of battles with the assassination team sent by Fang Lao. If Fatty Orange were still alive, he should have received the news and would have taken the initiative to come looking for them!
However, Fat Orange didn't come, and they had no news of Fat Orange!
Many people say that it was probably fed to the monsters long ago, and its remains were devoured, which is why they could not find any trace of it.
Some say that perhaps it was someone sent by Fang Lao who found Fatty Orange before them, killed him, and buried him deep inside, so...
But Xixi didn't think so. "Fat Orange is definitely still alive, as are the other brothers. Haven't you noticed that the times and numbers of these deaths don't match up?"
"That day, Fat Orange led his troops into battle and took away eight hundred elite soldiers, but in the past few days we have only collected eight skeletons."
"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some of our clansmen perished intact in the jaws of the monsters, but judging from the degree of decay of the remains, they all died before the news of Fatty Orange's accident broke. Moreover, based on their clothes and characteristics, they can be matched with the list of those killed in action in the previous battle reports."
"Does everyone still remember the news from that night? It said that we were trapped in a beast tide, the troops were out of contact, and Fatty Orange was killed in battle! A beast tide that can swallow eight hundred people must be enormous. In the past few days, we have discovered many traces of battle, large and small. Have you found this battle?"
"No! It's been half a month, and we still haven't found any trace of this battle. There are only two possibilities: one, the news itself is fake, which would explain why Elder Fang still sent out an assassination squad even after the news had spread like this! The other is that our search area is not wide enough!"
Hearing Xixi's words, many people nodded repeatedly, and some even opened a map, staring at the large unknown areas on the map and lost in thought. "But if we expand the search area further, we will be stepping into no man's land."
The term "no man's land" doesn't mean that no one has explored it; rather, it means that no one has returned alive after exploring it, leaving the area's records blank.
Uncle Si also had a map in his hand. By comparing them, he found that the two maps were quite different in terms of the level of detail in other areas, but in this no-man's-land area, they both showed a blank space.
Looking at the two maps, Xixi fell silent. Whether or not to enter, and whether or not they could enter, was a matter of life and death for hundreds of people!
"What if, I mean what if, Fatty Orange didn't go in at all? We've searched such a wide area, we might have missed something, right...?"
"Yes, with so many monsters flooding in now, we can't search recklessly. We have to avoid them. Who knows, we might just miss one?"
"How about...we search again more carefully?"
Some people whispered that Fat Orange was their spiritual leader and the next chief, which was very important, but they didn't want to lose their lives because of it!
Yun Dongjia looked at his brothers, unwilling to give orders directly in this life-or-death situation.
