264: Chapter 264 Looking for me?

Bai Wanwan took care of her biological needs and went straight home, not bothering to join the bustle at the Plaza anymore.

The Cubs had woken up from a nap and were very energetic.

Hearing the commotion outside, they all excitedly rushed towards the exit.

But none succeeded; they were all hauled back by their Father Beast.

Xin Feng walked out of the house, glanced at the still-rowdy Plaza, and asked, "Don't you want to play a bit more?"

Bai Wanwan yawned and replied offhandedly, "There's nothing else on the program, and I'm sleepy."

"Then sit for a while. I'll go get some water for you. Once you've washed up, you can rest."

Bai Wanwan was pregnant, and with it being summer, she felt even drowsier.

Before long, having finished tidying up and just lying down, Bai Wanwan drifted into a sweet slumber.

However, the three Males had no intention of sleeping. They sat by the doorway, keeping an eye on The Cubs to prevent them from running out while staring outside.

"Just now in the Mountains and Forests, you didn't notice the presence of that Roger."

Yan Lie knew the fault lay with him and felt somewhat annoyed. "It was too noisy outside, and the scent in the Mountains and Forests was too strong; I truly didn't notice."

Zhu Xiu turned his head to look at Xin Feng. "You know Roger?"

"Yes, I suppose I do. I saved him once."

"He knows Wan Wan's identity as a Sacred Female. This Male... cannot be allowed to remain."

With Wan Wan present just now, he hadn't revealed his murderous intent.

Regardless of whether Roger had looked after Wan Wan, he could not allow such a potential danger to exist.

If the news that Wan Wan was a Sacred Female were to leak out, every Super Tribe would take action to seize her.

He could not tolerate such an accident happening, and he could not gamble on the consequences of losing Wan Wan.

Xin Feng's eyes flickered. "You intend to kill Roger?"

"Yes. You guys take care of Wan Wan; I'm going out for a while."

Xin Feng, however, did not quite agree. "The Caravan that Roger is leading now has greatly increased in strength; I'm afraid it won't be that easy to strike. Be careful."

"Yes, I'll go check out the situation first."

After saying this, Zhu Xiu stood up, walked out the door, and disappeared into the night.

Very quickly, only Xin Feng and Yan Lie were left in the house watching over The Cubs.

"Are you going to sleep, or will you stay here on guard?"

"I'm not sleepy. I'll watch The Cubs; if you have something to do, go ahead."

"I'm fine. I doubt Zhu Xiu will be able to succeed tonight."

Ever since he learned that Wan Wan had met Roger in the Mountains and Forests, he had been observing the beastmen in the Plaza.

He had also quickly located Roger's position; his gaze had hardly ever left Wan Wan.

And throughout the whole event, besides taking care of Wan Wan while she ate, his gaze had been fixed on Roger to prevent him from doing anything detrimental to Wan Wan.

During that time, he saw several groups of Males appear around Roger.

Those Males seemed to have high Talent, and their strength was much higher than the Caravan he had led before.

On the other side, after Bai Wanwan left her seat, Roger waited for a long time without seeing her return, so he also got up and left.

Returning to the lodging arranged for them by the Tribe leader, Roger had no sleepiness, and the Males inside were eating meat and making a ruckus.

He stood alone by the window, staring at the full moon overhead, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Before long, a Male walked quickly to his side and whispered something to him.

Roger turned back, frowning and pondering. "It's still early; don't make a move for now."

Having said that, he added, "Tonight, you and Mu Yan will stand guard. Be vigilant; the night won't be peaceful."

The other person was clearly stunned for a moment. "Captain, we are in the Tribe; do we still need to be this guarded?"

This was supposed to be the time to relax and rest.

If he hadn't gone to look for Bai Wanwan, perhaps tonight would have been their most relaxing night.

But Bai Wanwan's several Beast Husbands had learned of his presence, especially that one called Zhu Xiu...

His vertical pupils flashed with a sinister light. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been seriously injured, and the subsequent events wouldn't have happened.

But he didn't regret it. Even if it meant inviting this trouble, seeing Bai Wanwan once and confirming that she was truly alive, he felt it was worth it.

"Yes, we do. Remember my words: you and Mu Yan cannot have any slack. Otherwise, none of us will see tomorrow morning's sun."

Hearing Roger say this, the Male's expression also became very serious.

There were only four Yellow-Tier Males in their Caravan, and he was actually assigning two of them to stand guard.

This was something that had never happened before, making him nervous too.

After giving the orders, Roger glanced outside, then turned and walked to the wall, leaning against it and closing his eyes.

He needed to conserve his energy; there were very important things to do next.

Slowly, the noisy sounds in the Tribe faded away, and the surroundings became incomparably silent.

The two Males from Roger's Caravan who were on guard duty sat near the door and window, staring at each other.

Mu Yan was very confused. "The Captain wants the two of us to guard?"

"Yes, listen to the Captain; be careful tonight."

Just as he finished speaking, Mu Yan seemed to hear some movement coming from outside.

"Shh, I'll go check."

Mu Yan stood up but was grabbed by the Male beside him. "No need to go; just stay here. We aren't here to eliminate danger, but to complete the mission."

Only then did Mu Yan suppress the urge to chase out and see what was going on.

Zhu Xiu was deliberately making noise outside, but no Males chased out.

In fact... he heard the conversation between those two Males.

They are here to complete a mission? What mission?

Because of this sentence, Zhu Xiu suppressed the urge to rush in and kill Roger.

He also really wanted to know what they were doing coming to the Golden Lion Tribe.

Back in the Snow Plains, that blow he dealt to Roger should have been enough to take Roger's life.

Yet he survived, and his strength seemed to have advanced a step further.

Zhu Xiu hesitated for a moment, then finally turned and left.

Early the next morning, Bai Wanwan stretched and got up.

When she finished washing up and walked to the door, she found the Central Plaza full of beastmen.

Bai Wanwan couldn't help but turn to ask Xin Feng, "Xin Feng, are there still activities today?"

"Yes, there are still activities. Wait for me to feed The Cubs, and I'll accompany you to look around."

"Okay. Did Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie both go hunting?"

Bai Wanwan took a sip of water, placed the stone cup on the table, and asked him offhandedly.

"Yan Lie went hunting; Zhu Xiu didn't say."

The most elusive one in the house was Zhu Xiu; no one knew what he did every day.

Zhu Xiu had been lying in wait for Roger and his group of beastmen early in the morning.

Seeing them finish eating meat, Roger took three or four Males and left their lodging, heading outside the Tribe.

Zhu Xiu didn't hesitate for a moment and quietly followed them.

Zhu Xiu certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by; it would be best if he could take care of Roger outside.

So he wouldn't have to give an explanation to the Jin Cang Clan leader.

Zhu Xiu trailed far behind the few Males, and after watching them enter the Mountains and Forests, he quickened his pace to catch up.

Entering the jungle, his footsteps made almost no sound as he captured the slightest movement in the forest.

But he discovered that even the scent had dissipated.

He frowned, and just as he was about to turn to the left, a voice came from diagonally in front.

"Looking for me?"
