While Hu Xiaobei was focused on recovering, the once-unconscious fiery red fox slowly stirred.

Soon, it opened its eyes...

At that moment, a hint of fiery aura flashed through its deep eyes.

After that, it looked at Hu Xiaobei.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei with his eyes closed, there was a faint, complex expression in its gaze.

It knew that it was he in front of it who had saved it.

If he hadn't intervened earlier, it might really have died by now...

Having figured this out, the sharpness in its eyes gradually faded.

Then, it lazily lay down next to Hu Xiaobei.

It knew Hu Xiaobei was recovering now...

In this situation, it needed to act as his bodyguard, ensuring his safety as much as possible!

...

Outside, both Hei, Xiaobai, and the Treasure-hunting Rabbit waited quietly for news.

To be honest, they had absolute confidence in Hu Xiaobei, so they all felt sure Hu Xiaobei could make it recover!

Of course, even so, they were a bit nervous...

While they waited quietly like this, Hu Xiaobei opened his eyes.

Although not fully recovered, his condition had obviously improved significantly.

"In the short term, it's impossible to fully recover to the peak!"

Muttering this to himself, Hu Xiaobei looked at where the fox had been and found it wasn't there...

"Huh? Did it run off?"

Muttering this to himself, Hu Xiaobei turned his head and saw it lying behind him...

Seeing himself turn his head, it lifted its head to look at him.

Seeing it wasn't looking at him with wariness anymore, Hu Xiaobei knew it evidently no longer saw him as an enemy.

With a slight smile, Hu Xiaobei casually asked, "How are you feeling now?"

Hu Xiaobei knew it could definitely understand him...

Just after asking, Hu Xiaobei saw it stand up and pace back and forth a bit.

Seeing this scene, Hu Xiaobei knew it had obviously gotten much better.

"Let me take another look at you!"

Saying so, Hu Xiaobei beckoned to it, and it looked at Hu Xiaobei with slight hesitation.

Frowning slightly, Hu Xiaobei reached out to grab it; it instinctively dodged and was directly caught by Hu Xiaobei's tail.

Once its tail was caught by Hu Xiaobei, it stopped struggling and obediently walked over.

"That's more like it!"

Seeing it become obedient, Hu Xiaobei chuckled.

At this time, Hu Xiaobei didn't notice the fleeting shyness in its eyes...

After carefully examining it, Hu Xiaobei looked at it, speaking softly, "Your condition has improved a lot! In at most a week, you'll be fully recovered. During this time, avoid strenuous activities, as the wound could reopen at any time. Understand?"

Asking while watching it closely, Hu Xiaobei saw it nodding gently, knowing it had clearly taken his words to heart.

With a slight smile, Hu Xiaobei released it...

It glanced at Hu Xiaobei and obediently stood aside.

"Why does it seem quite different now!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei glanced at it and snapped his fingers lightly, the next moment, both Hei, Xiaobai, and the Treasure-hunting Rabbit dashed over frantically.

Giving them a glance, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "No need to worry, it's okay now!"

As soon as Hu Xiaobei said this, they all relaxed and quickly rushed over!

Seeing this scene, Hu Xiaobei laughed and said, "No need to praise me or anything, it's just my duty, though if you must praise me, then I'll reluctantly..."

Before he could finish, Hu Xiaobei stopped short.

Because Hu Xiaobei realized they weren't rushing toward him but toward the fiery red fox beside him!

"This..."

Hu Xiaobei was feeling down, the fiery red fox saw Hu Xiaobei's downcast expression, and a hint of human-like amusement flashed in its eyes.

Soon after, it began communicating with Hei, Xiaobai, and the Treasure-hunting Rabbit.

Seeing they had completely forgotten about his presence, Hu Xiaobei chose not to stay and instead quietly turned and left.

Hu Xiaobei left all the time to them...

Upon reaching outside the cave, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath of the extremely fresh and moist air.

"The air and environment here are truly perfect!"

With genuine admiration, Hu Xiaobei looked in the direction of ten o'clock, sensing something approaching.

"What is it!"

While murmuring this, a deep black wolf sprang from the bushes.

Seeing it, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

Because its presence was a bit intimidating...

"What is it here for? Could it be looking to pick a fight?"

Quietly mumbling this, Hu Xiaobei saw it rushing directly towards him.

"What the hell! Is it really looking to pick a fight?"

Seeing it rushing over, Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself while quickly gathering the Nine Wood True Qi in his Dantian.

Although not fully recovered to peak condition, Hu Xiaobei felt he still wasn't afraid of it...

Feeling confident, Hu Xiaobei suddenly sensed something else approaching, and in the next second, he was dumbfounded!

Because at this moment, several more burst out from the bushes...

Most alarming was there were even lions among them...

Hu Xiaobei was really speechless, "Aren't you supposed to live on the savannah?"

Looking at those lions, Hu Xiaobei really muttered this in his heart...

Of course, this muttering he only dared to whisper mentally...

Not daring to say it out loud...

Because the situation was truly awkward...

Hu Xiaobei knew if it were just the black wolf, he could easily handle it!

But now, it's not just it!

"Never mind, if things don't work out, 'retreat' is always a wise strategy!"

With this thought, the first black wolf that charged up stopped directly in front of Hu Xiaobei.

After that, it gestured somewhat excitedly...

Understanding what it was trying to convey, Hu Xiaobei's expression turned odd, and soon, he whispered in slight surprise, "You mean you're here for me to treat you?"

After asking this, Hu Xiaobei saw it nodding excitedly!

At this moment, the corners of Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched.

In the next second, Hu Xiaobei looked at the other beasts around and said, "Are you all here for the same reason?"

They nodded quickly without hesitation...

"That's not right, how did you know I was here?"

Feeling a bit frustrated, Hu Xiaobei asked aloud...

Soon, he found out it was due to the Treasure-hunting Rabbit spreading the word...

Before, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit had spread the news that he was here, claiming he could cure any illness...

Upon hearing this news, these beasts all came quickly...

Of course, each had been extorted by the Treasure-hunting Rabbit.

"You troublesome rascal!"

Knowing Treasure-hunting Rabbit had played a trick on him, Hu Xiaobei shouted angrily towards the cave...

Inside the cave, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit twitched its ears upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's frustrated yell...

At this time, it felt much happier, having successfully played a trick on Hu Xiaobei...

Outside the cave, Hu Xiaobei looked at them and said, "Alright, line up nicely, and I'll help you all."

Hu Xiaobei knew that since they were here now, he needed to assist them.

As for the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, he'd settle accounts with it afterward...

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they quickly lined up, and Hu Xiaobei glanced over, starting to earnestly treat them.
