Because they didn't know how long the exploration would take or how much food they needed to prepare, Yin Yi and his team started going out early and coming back late every day from the second day, and they brought back a lot of prey every time.
They still leave an orc to guard the orcs every day and help them deal with prey.
Jiang Wan and Yu Rou led the orcs to build a fire in the open space outside every day to roast the prey and fill the constant temperature box on the escape ship.
A few days later, Yin Yi and the other two each carried an incubator full of food and flew towards the center of the forest.
......
"Mother, mother, good news, good news."
In the Imperial Star Palace, the queen was taking a nap, but was woken up by the noisy noise of her favorite son.
"What are you making such a fuss about? Look at you, you don't even have the slightest bit of royal etiquette. I've told you so many times..."
The queen, who had not slept well, rubbed her aching head and began to lecture in a bad mood, but she was interrupted before she could finish.
Hei Yu came to the queen with an excited look on his face, "Mother! Good news! I just heard that it's not just Yin Yi and Bai Li who are missing!"
"It's been so long, what else is there to say? I know there's also that little half-orc princess from the Mifa Empire. Your father has been troubled by the Mifa Empire's affairs recently, but you, instead of thinking about how to help your father, are still shouting about some good news. Be careful if someone with ulterior motives hears and tells your father. If he gets angry, I won't be able to protect you."
The queen rolled her eyes and grumbled impatiently.
"No, mother, more than that."
Hei Yu was in a good mood and didn't argue with his mother. He leaned over and whispered, "Mother, I just got the news that Yin Yi and Bai Li were kidnapped while they were out for fun with their partners. Now, not only are they missing, but their partners are missing too!"
"What?"
The queen was shocked, and she no longer cared about her headache. She stared at Hei Yu with wide eyes and confirmed, "Their companions are all female. The Empire has a clear rule that females must be accompanied by troops when traveling outside the Imperial Star. However, we have never heard of any news of their females going out to play. Are you sure this news is true?"
"It's absolutely true. Miya once had an admirer who worked at the Association for the Protection of Women. Yesterday, when Miya went to the Association for the Protection of Women, she ran into him. In order to spend more time with Miya, he told her the news.
It was said that Yin Yi and her partner personally went to find Gu Dan. They argued for a long time in the office, and in the end, for some unknown reason, Gu Dan actually agreed.
Hei Yu nodded, assuring his mother of the authenticity of the news.
"How audacious of Yin Yi to take a female out without a guard! He really thinks he's the Empire's number one war god and can protect his females all by himself. And Bai Li is the same, actually taking his partner out on a secret trip. Humph, the Bai family doesn't take the laws of the Empire seriously."
The queen narrowed her eyes. "A female traveling without a guard, and even hiding her disappearance without reporting it, must Bai Zhuo be tired of being the Marshal."
"Mother, let's report this matter to the House of Representatives immediately and remove Marshal Bai Zhuo."
"No."
The Queen raised her hand to stop Hei Yu's proposal. "If we report this news now, the most the House of Representatives will do is call Bai Zhuo and Gu Dan for a talk. As for punishment, there's really no guarantee there will be any. After all, the sudden disappearance of two females is a serious matter. The Bai family controls most of the empire's military. Those old men in the House of Representatives will definitely send more people to search for the females. By then, won't Yin Yi and Bai Li be found as well?"
"So what should we do, just let it go?"
"Of course we can't just let it go. Now only Bai Zhuo insists on sending troops to search for people, and the Mifa Empire is also involved. Reporting this news will not do us any good. We might as well wait until Bai Zhuo and the Mifa Empire have given up and tacitly assume that they will never come back. Then we can announce this news. By then, it won't be just the female missing, but..."
"It's because of their arrogance that they killed the empire's precious females. When that happens, the entire Bai family will be implicated and held accountable. Even President Gu Dan of the Imperial Star branch of the Female Protection Association will be to blame."
The queen nodded in appreciation at Hei Yu. Her beloved son finally showed his intelligence for once.
"Mother, this is amazing! In this way, Yin Yi and the entire Bai family can be eliminated. Then, the Ryan family will have the final say in the military, and I am the partner of their most beloved female. Then, they will definitely support me to become the crown prince."
"That's right, so now, let's just pretend we know nothing and wait and see what happens."
The mother and son, who were full of calculations, smiled at each other. When people who didn't know the situation saw this scene, they would really sigh and say, what a loving mother and filial son.
......
On the desolate planet, Yin Yi and the other two have been exploring the center of the forest for three days. Apart from discovering a large pit in the very center of the forest, they have found nothing else.
"Xiao Yi, this isn't going to work. Every time we get close to that big pit, we get bounced back for no apparent reason. We have no way of checking what's in there."
Bai Li squatted on a branch at the top of a giant tree, eating a fruit while looking at Yin Yi who was resting with his eyes closed on the branch next to him.
"This fruit tastes really good. Where did you pick it?"
Yin Yi leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, thinking about how to get closer to the big pit, ignoring his cousin's chattering.
The fruit was given to him privately by Wanwan before they set off.
She didn't say where they came from, and Yin Yi didn't ask. Only when he found out that she still had some left did he take them all and put them in his space ring.
They kept flying high in the forest, and only landed on the treetops when they were tired or hungry. They took turns resting on the branches under the cover of the dense trees.
They had a very smooth journey, and the wild beasts didn't even look up to investigate. They soon discovered the source of the abnormality in the center of the forest, but they could not get close.
They tried many methods, but nothing worked.
Seeing that Yin Yi ignored him, Bai Li curled his lips, finished the fruit in his hand in a few bites, threw the core away, and leaned against the tree trunk to rest.
"roar--"
“Ouch—”
“Woo—”
Bai Li had just closed his eyes when he was startled by the sudden howling of wild beasts below.
"What's going on? Why are those beasts suddenly rioting?"
