314: Chapter 314 Xin Feng is nearby

Bai Wanwan called out while flipping through the corpses.

With each one she turned over, a sense of panic rose in her heart.

Seeing that it was not Xin Feng, a glimmer of hope rose again.

Soon, her fingers were frozen red, yet she stubbornly brushed the snow off each corpse to confirm it was not her Silver Wolf.

"It's not… this one isn't either…" she muttered to herself, her voice trembling more and more.

They had almost flipped through all the beastman corpses around, but still had not found Xin Feng.

"Female Bai Wanwan, you and your Beast Husband continue searching around here, while I take them to look further away."

Bai Wanwan's face turned pale, and her reactions were noticeably slower than usual.

"Okay, I'm counting on you all."

Jin Yue sighed as he looked at her state.

She was truly a good Female; he had never seen a Female venture out in such severe cold, nor had he ever seen one brave a heavy snowstorm to search for her missing Beast Husband.

If they lost this Beast Husband, they could always find more.

But Female Bai Wanwan seemed different; she cherished her Beast Husbands deeply.

Jin Yue sighed, and seeing her persistence, he felt encouraged.

He held his breath, determined to help Female Bai Wanwan find her Beast Husband.

He led the other Males to expand the search area, sifting through the snow with great speed.

Bai Wanwan, ignoring the severe cold, went to the other side to search with Yan Lie.

In the distance, shouts of "Nothing here," and "Didn't find anything here," could be heard from time to time.

As time passed, Bai Wanwan's heart kept sinking.

She continued searching mechanically, her eyes stinging and watering from staring at the Snowy Ground for so long, and the tears quickly froze into tiny ice crystals on her cheeks.

Xin Feng, you will be fine!

I will definitely find you!

The sky grew dark, and the leaden-gray clouds hung lower, seemingly predicting another heavy snowstorm was imminent.

After a long, long time, Jin Yue ran over with a heavy heart.

"Female Bai Wanwan, we should go back. The Black Bear Tribe hasn't retreated too far, and the temperature will plummet after dark; you won't be able to handle it."

Bai Wanwan seemed not to hear him, her gaze suddenly falling on the dark silhouette of the Mountains and Forests not far away: "I want to go search over there."

"It's too dangerous!" Jin Yue withdrew his gaze and said anxiously, "The Black Bear clan could launch another attack at any time, and besides, the weather is colder at night; you won't be able to withstand it!"

In the night weather, let alone a Female, even High-Ranked Males like them found it hard to endure.

Yan Lie was still scratching, but he stood firmly by Bai Wanwan's side.

"Jin Yue, let's search a little longer. If Wan Wan really can't handle the cold, we will go back."

He had asked Wan Wan several times just now; Wan Wan had supplies in the system and said she could handle it.

He also didn't want to see his brother-like friend Xin Feng meet with an accident.

So he wanted to believe Wan Wan and search a bit more; maybe they would find him?

Jin Yue wore an extremely troubled expression, "Female Bai Wanwan, although I don't want to say this, but… so much time has passed, it is highly likely that Xin Feng has been taken away by the Black Bear Tribe."

Bai Wanwan took a light breath; it wasn't that she hadn't considered this possibility.

But if she didn't look, she wouldn't give up.

What if?

What if Xin Feng was injured and had hidden to avoid being hunted down by the Black Bear beastmen?

"Let's search for a while longer; if we can't find him, I will go back with you."

Jin Yue glanced at the other Golden Lions and finally sighed: "Fine, we'll search for a little while longer. If we still don't find him, we must go back. We cannot let anything happen to you."

"Okay."

Bai Wanwan nodded gratefully at him, then climbed back onto Yan Lie's back.

The group of beastmen continued toward the Mountains and Forests, their speed much slower than on the plains.

The trees grew denser, and the tree roots and stones hidden under the snow made progress difficult.

Yan Lie's breathing grew heavier; he had suffered such serious injuries, yet he was still accompanying her outside to search for Xin Feng.

Feeling guilty, she reached out and stroked the fur on his back, "Yan Lie, can you still hold on?"

Yan Lie turned his head and grinned at her, "Don't worry about me; if you, Wan Wan, can hold on, of course I can!"

After speaking, unable to resist the sudden, intense itch, he raised his claw and scratched his neck fiercely twice.

Bai Wanwan noticed and quickly reached out to block his claw, "Bear with it; you already have too many wounds on your body…"

The Healing Ointment had been applied again and again, only to be scratched open quickly.

At a time like this, she couldn't care about points.

points could be earned again; if the person was gone, then everything was gone.

So, even knowing it was useless to apply the Healing Ointment at this moment, she still tirelessly applied the medicine over and over to minimize Yan Lie's blood loss.

Thinking of points, Bai Wanwan suddenly thought of peanut.

Although she knew that peanut had no other use besides the points mall.

But she had no other choice and could only try everything possible.

"peanut…" she called out to the system in her heart.

Soon, peanut responded, "Host, I am here."

Bai Wanwan immediately asked: "Can you sense where Xin Feng is?"

"Host, I can only confirm that he is in the nearby mountain range, but I don't know his specific location." peanut said with an apologetic tone, "There will be tracking items after the system upgrades, but right now… I really cannot help you."

After hearing this, Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up, "You can sense that he is there? Then do you know if he is still alive?"

"Host, they have a mission relationship with you, so I have a certain level of perception. What I can tell you for now is that he is still alive."

The weight hanging over Bai Wanwan's heart lifted.

As long as he is alive, it's fine!

As long as he is alive, there is still hope.

She quickly turned her head and looked around; it was already very dark.

As a beastman, her vision was only slightly better than a human's.

In the dim environment, she still needed to look very carefully to see things clearly.

Suddenly, she noticed an unnatural mark in the bushes on the right, like a snow trail rubbed out by something.

A little further away, several branches were violently broken, and something seemed to be hanging on them.

"Over there!" She immediately pointed in that direction, her heart pounding like a drum.

Jin Yue vigilantly sniffed the air: "There was a battle near here; there is a smell of blood…"

They followed the marks forward and found drag marks and scattered bloodstains on the Snowy Ground.

Bai Wanwan's heart tightened; she both hoped to find Xin Feng quickly and feared seeing a scene she didn't want to face.

The trail disappeared in front of a rock wall.

Bai Wanwan slid off Yan Lie's back, ignored the others' attempts to stop her, and pushed aside the withered vines in front of the rock wall to reveal a Cave entrance behind it.

"Xin Feng?" she called out softly, her voice echoing in the Cave.

This looked like a hiding place; if Xin Feng was injured and wanted to find a place to hide, this place was perfect.

She walked inside quickly, calling Xin Feng's name incessantly…
