Chapter 312: Xin Feng is Missing

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Xin Feng is Missing

Zhu Xiu’s beast form was so enormous that it took more than ten Golden Lions just to move his body.

The Golden Lions’ Talent Power was weakened by the bitter cold, but facing the Bear Clan’s onslaught, they held their ground at the front, protecting Zhu Xiu without retreating a single step.

Golden Lions fell one after another, and Bear Clan Beastmen fell with them.

The battle was a stalemate, with severed limbs and blood staining the vast, white snowfield red.

When Xin Feng rushed over and saw the gruesome scene, he didn’t even glance at Yan Lie or Zhu Xiu. Instead, he circled around from a distance, getting behind the Black Bear Clan.

He approached them silently and scattered the itching powder he was holding.

Finally, the Black Bear Clan realized what was happening and turned to attack Xin Feng.

Xin Feng immediately retreated.

With the main forces so evenly matched, the bears couldn’t spare the energy to fully engage Xin Feng.

Xin Feng, for his part, didn’t get drawn into a prolonged fight; after a successful strike, he would immediately withdraw.

He repeated this more than ten times. By the time the itching powder was almost gone, his only injury was a chunk of flesh torn from his shoulder.

Among the battling Bear Clan, nearly half of the Beastmen had been hit by the itching powder and were unable to fight.

Their combat effectiveness plummeted.

The Golden Lion Clan immediately launched a counterattack.

Xin Feng didn’t retreat. Instead, he continued to weave behind the Bear Clan, disrupting their attacks.

This bought enough time for the Golden Lions to carry Zhu Xiu back to the clan’s main gate.

Seeing this, Xin Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to stay and help the Golden Lion Clan annihilate the remaining Black Bears.

But what he didn’t know was that the appearance of the three of them—males from an Alien Race—had ruined the Bear Clan’s plan that was a hundred years in the making.

The Bear Clan Leader could only watch as the Golden Lions escorted Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie into the settlement.

With no other outlet for his fury, his gaze locked onto the Silver Wolf still harassing his clan.

"Kill that Silver Wolf, no matter the cost."

All the Bear Clan’s remaining elite males swarmed toward Xin Feng.

They needed an outlet for their frustration over losing this battle.

This Silver Wolf had to die beneath their bear paws!

Xin Feng and the Golden Lion Clan coordinated brilliantly. As they watched more and more Black Bears fall, the Golden Lions’ morale soared.

But suddenly, a chill ran down Xin Feng’s spine. When he turned, he found Black Bears closing in from all directions, cutting off every escape route...

Bai Wanwan had already climbed down from the stone wall the moment she saw Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie being brought back.

She hurried to Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie’s side, her eyes filled with anxiety.

"What happened?"

Bai Wanwan went to Yan Lie’s side, checking his injuries before looking down at Zhu Xiu, who was being carried in.

"I don’t know. Zhu Xiu just suddenly stopped moving. Wanwan, I’m so itchy. Is there anything to stop it?"

The itching was unbearable; he wanted to tear his own skin off.

Bai Wanwan was worried about Zhu Xiu on the ground, but her thoughts were also with Xin Feng, who had gone out and hadn’t yet returned.

She quickly opened the system panel and asked in her mind, ’Hua Sheng, you said there’s no antidote for the itching powder, but is there a medicine to relieve the itch?’

’No. Have your Beast Husband roll around in the snow. That might provide some relief.’

Bai Wanwan watched him scratch incessantly. In his human form, he was a bloody mess, and she couldn’t tell if the wounds were from the battlefield or from his own scratching.

Her heart ached for him. Since she couldn’t stop the itching, she decided to at least redeem a tube of golden sore medicine ointment.

"Put this on first. If it’s still too itchy, try rubbing snow on your skin."

With that, she bent down to check on Zhu Xiu.

At the same time, she asked the system in her mind, ’Hua Sheng, can you tell what’s wrong with Zhu Xiu?’

’Don’t worry. He used up too much of his Talent Power. He’s just entered hibernation.’

Bai Wanwan let out a long sigh of relief. ’So he’s just hibernating.’

After checking on her two Beast Husbands, her thoughts returned to Xin Feng on the battlefield.

She immediately ran back to the clan gate to look out. The area, which had been sparsely populated with fighters just moments ago, was now swarming with Bear Clan Beastmen.

Bai Wanwan’s heart plummeted.

In just a few moments, the situation had completely changed.

She dodged the males trying to block her way and climbed back up the stone wall.

Standing high on the wall, she strained her eyes, trying to see what was happening inside the encirclement.

Jin Cang had sent out all the males who could still fight. Not only did they need to protect Bai Wanwan’s Beast Husband, but they also had to seize this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Bear Clan.

Only by crippling them could the Golden Lion Clan guarantee peace for the next several decades.

"Don’t worry. Our clan’s Warriors have all gone to help. The Bear Clan doesn’t have many Beastmen left. We will be victorious, and we will bring your Beast Husband back."

Bai Wanwan murmured an "Mhm," but her eyes never left the battlefield as she continued to search for any sign of Xin Feng.

The snowflakes falling from above grew thicker, and in just a few moments, a layer of frost and snow coated Bai Wanwan’s entire body.

She didn’t even bother to brush it off, her gaze fixed on the battle before her.

Yan Lie rubbed snow on his skin. The itching did subside a little, but it was still a deep, gnawing itch.

But he couldn’t stop worrying about Wanwan. When he saw her climb the stone wall, he followed her up.

Seeing Yan Lie appear beside her, Bai Wanwan turned and grabbed his hand. "Yan Lie, your eyes are better than mine! Quick, look and see where Xin Feng is."

"Don’t panic, Wanwan. Xin Feng is a Yellow Rank Male. If he’s in danger, he’ll be able to escape."

Bai Wanwan gave a restless "Mhm." "Then look. Where is he?"

Enduring the itch, Yan Lie carefully scanned the horde of beastmen for any sign of Xin Feng.

Bai Wanwan watched for a moment but couldn’t find him. Noticing Yan Lie’s discomfort beside her, she raised a hand and gently scratched his back. "Don’t scratch too hard, be gentle. Once Xin Feng is back and we’re home, I’ll figure out a way to relieve the itching."

"Okay. I can bear it."

After reassuring her, Yan Lie went back to searching for Xin Feng.

His eyesight was exceptional; even from this distance, he could see with perfect clarity.

In just a few moments, he had scanned every Beastman on the battlefield, but he couldn’t find any trace of Xin Feng.

His heart sank. He frowned and scanned the battlefield again.

’I must have missed him,’ he thought. ’I’ll find him if I look again.’

Bai Wanwan did her best to keep from rushing Yan Lie, but she waited and waited.

After a long while, Yan Lie still hadn’t said anything.

Suppressing her anxiety, she turned to look at him, only to see his brow tightly furrowed, clearly agitated about something.

"Yan Lie, did you see Xin Feng?"

He had just scanned the battlefield three or four times, meticulously, and hadn’t seen any sign of Xin Feng.

’Is he injured and down on the ground, or... what?’

But he couldn’t bring himself to tell her he hadn’t seen Xin Feng. He could only give a vague "Mhm" and say, "I see him. He’s fighting a Bear Beastman."

The light returned to Bai Wanwan’s eyes. She stood on her tiptoes, peering forward. "Where? Quick, show me."

Yan Lie could only bluff, pointing randomly. "Over there. See him?"

Bai Wanwan followed his finger, but after staring for a long time, she still couldn’t see anything.

Just then, the Bear Clan suddenly began to retreat.

A moment later, the Golden Lions also began to slowly pull back.

Amidst the sea of gold, Bai Wanwan couldn’t find that one flash of white that was Xin Feng.

"Where’s Xin Feng? You said you saw him!"
