Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

When Cheng Mo and Ban Mu arrived at the tribe, they realized that things were much more complicated than they had imagined. Not only did the tribe lose two children, but many children from nearby small tribes were also missing. The arrival of the three people did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone was following an old orc to search for suspicious places nearby.

After carefully checking the surroundings, the experienced old orc said with certainty: "There are no signs of wild beasts invading nearby!"

"There is no invasion of wild beasts? Then why did the children disappear out of thin air?" The old patriarch stood beside the old orc with a worried look on his face and asked anxiously.

The old orc walked around, then pointed to the traces on a tree and said, "A child must have climbed up this tree, then came down from there and walked in that direction." The people watching around followed the old orc's footsteps. Cheng Mo and Ban Mu looked at each other, held Cheng Lingqu's hand tightly, and followed.

"How could this happen?" The old orc stared at the traces on the ground in confusion. Cheng Mo looked up at Ban Mu, who explained softly, "The traces disappeared here. If a wild beast took the child away, there should be signs of fighting or struggling nearby, but there is nothing now."

"Unless the child can fly away by himself, there must be some traces left here! Even if someone took him away, something would be left behind. Now there is nothing here..." The old orc looked back at the old patriarch hesitantly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

The old patriarch shook his head slightly and said firmly: "It's impossible. Although those children have different beast forms, none of them has wings."

The orcs around began to whisper and talk among themselves. Cheng Mo and Ban Mu were mixed in the crowd. After looking at each other, they quietly left the circle.

Cheng Mo pulled Cheng Lingqu forward and whispered to Ban Mu, "Ban Mu, I think someone took them away, but who has such great ability?"

Banmu pondered for a moment and replied, "If he was really taken away by someone, then this orc must have special abilities, otherwise he wouldn't have left no trace at all."

"Could it be done by winged orcs?" Cheng Mo suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ban Mu.

Banmu nodded, agreeing with his guess: "Well, it is very likely that only orcs with wings can take the children away so quickly and without a trace."

"Winged orcs?" Cheng Mo frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Yes, maybe it's the Winged Tribe." Banmu continued, "Let's go to the Winged Tribe and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."

So the three of them set out again towards the Winged Tribe.

When Yan Qin heard that the mayor of Qiming City came to visit with his family, his mind was shocked. He thought that his bad child had caused trouble outside, and now the mayor came to ask for explanation, so he hurried out to greet him.

"Uh... Lord Mayor, I wonder why you come to us? We haven't received any news that you are coming, right? Is it my child..." Yan Qin asked carefully while politely pouring them a glass of water.

Cheng Mo took a sip of water, waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, it happened suddenly, so I didn't notify you in advance. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with Gua Yan. Gua Yan is a good boy and studies very hard in Qiming City. We just want to ask you something. Recently, many tribes have experienced the disappearance of cubs. When we went to investigate today, we found that these missing cubs were most likely caused by winged orcs. So, I want to ask you, has anyone in your tribe been going out frequently during this period, or has there been any abnormal situation in the tribe?"

When Yan Qin heard that they were not here for his children, he felt relieved at first, but then he began to ponder for a while, and then answered firmly: "No, it is the rainy season recently. Except for the members of the hunting and gathering team, all other members of our tribe stay in the tribe obediently, and no one goes out frequently. Besides, our Winged Tribe has a small population, and there are no stray orcs known to be alive outside."

"Okay, thank you." Cheng Mo nodded to express his gratitude.

Yan Qin looked worried and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Cheng Mo thought for a moment and shook his head gently, responding: "Not yet, but the victims of this missing case are all cubs, so I hope your tribe will be more vigilant."

Yan Qin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Yeah, I see. Thanks for the reminder."

Without any useful clues, Cheng Mo and the other two had to go back to Qiming City to make plans. As soon as they stepped into the city gate, they heard a noise coming from a distance. Turning around, they saw the tribe leaders who lost their children in the morning, leading a group of parents who lost their children and several burly and strong tribesmen, standing at the city gate and arguing with Gua Yan.

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense! We have been staying in the city honestly all this time and have never gone out!" Gua Yan opened his arms to protect the several orcs of the Winged Tribe behind him, and shouted to the orcs in front of him without fear.

The parents who lost their children looked at Gua Yan with despair on their faces and begged bitterly: "Please, please ask other tribesmen, maybe it was someone else who did it..."

Gua Yan was furious when he heard this. He widened his eyes and yelled at the top of his voice, "Absolutely impossible! My people are exhausted just from studying every day! How can they have the energy to go to your tribe and steal children! What's more, we have no grudges against each other, why would we go and provoke you!"

The parents were even more desperate, their faces were pale, their eyes were blank, as if they had lost their souls. They knelt down without hesitation and begged in a trembling voice: "Please! Give my child back to us!" Tears slid down their cheeks and dripped onto the cold ground.

The old patriarch was so angry that he was shaking all over. He widened his eyes, glared at the orcs kneeling on the ground, and shouted at the top of his voice: "What are you doing! People said there are no more! Are you doing this to say that it was others who did it? Have your brains been eaten by dogs?!" However, those parents had fallen into extreme grief and despair, and were completely unable to understand the old patriarch's words.

When they heard that it was done by orcs with wings, they grabbed the last straw and rushed to the City of Enlightenment to look for the winged orcs. Although no one has been able to find the tribe of the winged orcs, they know that most of the orcs from the winged tribe will gather in the City of Enlightenment, where they may still have a glimmer of hope to find their missing children.
