After letting Shi Si and his group go, Yinsuo learned about Steve and Jiang Xiaoli from his fellow tribesmen, and immediately returned to Jiang Xiaoli.

But inside the room, Los and two others were guarding Jiang Xiaoli.

Yinsuo looked at the unconscious Jiang Xiaoli and asked Los in a low voice: "How is Xiaoli?"

Los also responded to Yinsuo in a low voice, fearing that he would wake Jiang Xiaoli:

"Xiao Li fainted due to the shock of Steve's death. He hasn't woken up yet."

Hearing this, Yinsuo stepped forward and gently stroked Jiang Xiaoli's sleeping face.

Jiang Xiaoli's brows were tightly furrowed and his face was pale.

Once again, he felt that he had failed to protect Jiang Xiaoli, even though he had paid extra attention to guarding the border tonight.

Unexpectedly, something bad happened to the tribe.

He turned to look at his good friend Los, and saw the dark area under his eyelids again.

He knew that he had not rested since his patrol and was still guarding Jiang Xiaoli, so he thanked Los in a low voice:

"Thank you, Ross."

Los: "You and I are brothers, there's no need to talk about this."

After Yinsuo tidied up Jiang Xiaoli's bedding, he led everyone out of the room to talk:

"Have you found out who did it?"

Ross rubbed his brow, he had some doubts in his heart: "It's hard to say."

But Ming, who was standing nearby, said indignantly, "Need I say more? It must have been done by a stray beast!!"

Yinsuo then noticed Ming and Ke: "You guys?"

Los hurriedly explained: "Ming and Ke volunteered to be Xiaoli's guardians.

Yinsuo, before Steve got into trouble, I thought Steve was still young and couldn't protect Xiaoli. So I persuaded Xiaoli to accept it.

You and I both have our own missions, and we can't protect Jiang Xiaoli all the time."

Although Yinsuo felt a little jealous, he also knew that what Los said was right.

Besides, Steve is still alive at this time.

Lost, unwilling, heartbroken, helpless, all these emotions finally turned into just one sentence "Thank you!" that rang out from Yinsuo's mouth.

Yinsuo decided not to dwell on these emotions anymore. The most urgent thing was to find out what was going on.

He looked at Los' thoughtful expression and said:

"Los, do you have any other ideas about Steve?"

Ross just felt a little headache, but still tried to respond to Yinsuo: "Indeed. But, there is no evidence yet."

At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the room.

Yinsuo reacted immediately, thinking that Jiang Xiaoli must have woken up.

"Xiao Li..."

Yinsuo called Jiang Xiaoli, but saw Jiang Xiaoli standing up and drinking water.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoli looked back at everyone and saw Yinsuo again. She smiled at Yinsuo:

"Silverthread...where is Steve?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless, what is this???

Seeing that no one responded to her, Jiang Xiaoli began to pull up a bitter smile at the corner of her lips.

She walked into Yinsuo's arms and whispered, "I just had a nightmare, right?"

Yinsuo didn't need to look at the expression on Jiang Xiaoli's face to know that her eyes must be red and filled with tears.

He hugged Jiang Xiaoli and coaxed her gently: "I'm sorry, Xiaoli. I didn't protect you well."

When Jiang Xiaoli heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.

She quietly broke away from Yinsuo's embrace and slumped on the bed.

She began to curl up her body, clenching her palms.

She buried her face in her knees and kept shedding tears without making a sound.

Ross didn't expect that Steve's death would bring such great pain to Jiang Xiaoli.

Just like when his parents died unexpectedly, he never cried out loud.

Yinsuo noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Xiaoli. He stroked Jiang Xiaoli's back, but his tone was full of urgency:

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, look at me. Don't do this to yourself..."

Yes, why do you do this to yourself? What's the point of crying? ! !

Jiang Xiaoli seemed to have thought of something, and her tears stopped.

She raised her head and looked at Yinsuo: "Yinsuo, have all the leopards left?"

"Left."

Jiang Xiaoli asked expressionlessly: "How many people were there when they came? How many people were there when they left?"

Yinsuo: “Thirteen people.”

Jiang Xiaoli: "Is it possible that the things they brought could hide rebels?"

Yinsuo: "I've checked everything. It's impossible."

Listening to Jiang Xiaoli's series of methodical questions, Los instantly understood Jiang Xiaoli's intention:

"Xiao Li, do you also suspect that he is from the Leopard Tribe?"

Jiang Xiaoli looked at Los and asked thoughtfully:

"Yes. Ross, do you remember how many people Shi Si brought to the party?"

Ross tried hard to recall, "..."

Almost at the same time, Jiang Xiaoli said the answer he wanted to respond to: "Are there two people missing?"

Ross: “That’s right, indeed.”

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes suddenly regained some vitality. She tilted her head and looked at Los blankly:

"So what do you think those two people might have done?"

But the two brothers Ming and Ke raised their doubts:

"Great Wizard, but this is very strange.

The Leopard Tribe and our tribe have always been on good terms, and who would come here just to kill an underage cub?"

Jiang Xiaoli suddenly remembered something, got up from the bed and found his notebook.

Drawn on it is a map of the entire Feather Tribe.

Everyone saw Jiang Xiaoli observing carefully, muttering:

“Shi Si and the others passed through the border guarded by Silver Rope and traveled all the way to the bonfire party, led by orcs from our tribe.

When they arrived, Ross and I were also returning. But soon, we heard the news about... Steve.

If they really did it, then the other two people must have planned to go straight to the back mountain early in the morning."

Jiang Xiaoli had a huge guess in her mind at this time, but this guess made her tremble slightly.

She grabbed Yinsuo's arm with trembling hands, and spoke with infinite regret:

"Yin Suo, tell me. Is it possible that this is because of me again?

"It was because of the cultivation and captive breeding techniques that they coveted it, and Steve happened to be silenced?"

"Xiao Li..."

Yinsuo was about to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Xiaoli.

"But I don't understand... shouldn't the alliance between the two tribes be very solid?"

She was seen covering her face with one hand in pain, thinking, and kept asking: "Why?"

Yinsuo didn't want Jiang Xiaoli to suffer from these things again, so he tried to persuade her:

"Xiao Li, maybe you are wrong?"

But Jiang Xiaoli interrupted Yinsuo: "No, this is the most reasonable explanation..."

Jiang Xiaoli looked at Ming and Ke with a much more resolute expression at this moment:

"Ming, Ke...

Take this blueprint and go door to door to ask.

Around the same time tonight, has anyone seen anything suspicious or anyone on this road leading to the back mountain?

Tell me everything you have, and there will be a reward! ”

"yes..."

Ming and Ke went forward to receive the blueprint and then left the room, doing as Jiang Xiaoli said.

"If someone really saw it, then it proves that my guess is correct!"
