"Thank goodness this place was designated as the Forbidden Land, otherwise, it would be really easy for accidents to happen!"

After walking several hundred meters further, Xiaobei squinted and murmured to himself.

Because of his Nine Wood True Qi, the trees here have had a chance for secondary development.

As a result, they now tower into the sky.

Not to mention those who have never been here before, even wilderness survival experts would be bewildered here.

Since it's really hard to determine direction here, practically anyone who enters would find it hard to leave.

After murmuring this to himself, Xiaobei paused briefly and continued forward.

Hei, Bai, and the Treasure-hunting Rabbit quietly followed Xiaobei, remembering his earlier instructions, remaining especially cautious and avoiding making noise.

Half an hour later, Xiaobei slightly slowed his pace.

He did so because he realized he had found the culprit's lair...

"You all wait here for now!"

Knowing that taking them along might alert the culprit, Xiaobei abandoned the idea of bringing them with him.

Upon hearing Xiaobei's words, they nodded slowly.

Then, they obediently lay down on the ground.

Smiling, Xiaobei quickly headed over.

As Xiaobei left, they stood up from their previous lazy demeanor, a glint of sharpness flashing in their eyes.

Fully focused!

At this moment, they were fully focused.

The reason for their focus was to be able to rush over to help Xiaobei the moment he needed them.

...

"They've really grown up now!"

Feeling their alertness, Xiaobei continued walking ahead with a faint smile on his lips.

Without looking back to encourage them, Xiaobei continued to walk forward quietly.

At the same time, Xiaobei carefully observed everything around him.

He was at a not very large mountain hollow, with a small stream in front.

Beside the stream was a deep mountain cave, and the restless flame aura was emanating from it.

Xiaobei knew that the culprit he wanted to capture was likely inside the cave.

"Should I go in directly?"

Gazing at the cave, Xiaobei hesitated slightly, frowning.

He knew he didn't understand the situation inside, so rushing in could backfire.

...

"I better go in directly!"

After hesitating for a while, Xiaobei finally decided to enter.

Xiaobei knew the culprit was extremely fast, so if he tried to lure it out from here, it might escape.

After fully mobilizing his Nine Wood True Qi, Xiaobei quickly headed into the dark cave.

As soon as he entered, Xiaobei's eye twitched.

He distinctly smelled a thick scent of blood.

"It seems this is really a bit tricky this time!"

Mutely murmuring to himself, Xiaobei continued walking inside.

Xiaobei's Dantian, where Nine Wood True Qi circulated faster than before.

"It should be just beyond the next corner!"

Muttering to himself, Xiaobei quickly walked around the corner...

The scene left Xiaobei stunned...

As there was only a fiery red fox here, and when it saw Xiaobei, a sharp glint flashed in its eyes.

Looking at it with some wariness, Xiaobei noticed it was injured...

And quite severely...

"Turns out the scent of blood was from it!"

Muttering to himself, Xiaobei looked at it and quickly spoke, "You're injured?"

It made no response, still watching Xiaobei coldly, clearly wary of him.

Knowing its condition was bad, Xiaobei quickly said, "Let me take a look at you!"

After speaking, Xiaobei started to approach, but after taking just two steps, he stopped because it stood up, and a fiery aura began to emanate from it.

Xiaobei sighed silently!

He knew if he continued forward, it would definitely fight him.

Understanding its current plight, Xiaobei knew if it truly fought him, there would be big trouble.

Quickly stepping back two steps, Xiaobei softly said, "Don't misunderstand, I just want to help you!"

After saying this, Xiaobei still felt the intense aura and sighed quietly, snapping his fingers quickly.

Xiaobei knew he obviously couldn't make it lower its guard, but perhaps Hei, Bai, and the Treasure-hunting Rabbit could.

So he snapped his fingers to summon them here!

Within a breath, they appeared.

Feeling their alertness, Xiaobei quickly reassured them, then looked at the fiery red fox, saying lightly, "It's injured, try to tell it that I'm not a bad person!"

Hearing Xiaobei's words, they nodded slowly, and soon, they approached the fiery red fox.

The fox was wary of Xiaobei, but not particularly so against them.

Seeing them start to interact, Xiaobei temporarily left, knowing it was pointless for him to stay there.

...

After leaving the cave, Xiaobei furrowed his brow slightly...

He had only glanced before but already saw its situation was dire.

Xiaobei knew it was heavily injured.

"Later, it seems I'll be quite busy!"

Thinking this, Xiaobei quietly waited; a few minutes later, he felt a weight on his shoulder.

Turning his head, Xiaobei found the Treasure-hunting Rabbit perched on his shoulder, "All done?"

After asking this, Xiaobei saw it nod lightly!

Knowing it was really done, Xiaobei gracefully turned and walked back into the cave.

After passing the corner, Xiaobei looked at Hei and Bai, who nodded slightly towards him.

With a gentle smile, Xiaobei turned his gaze to the red fox in the corner, whose eyes still held a hint of wariness but was much improved compared to before.

Knowing it was now not too wary, Xiaobei softly said, "I truly mean no harm, I just want to help you recover!"

As a doctor, Xiaobei treated every ailment he encountered, which was his principle, even if it involved animals!

For in Xiaobei's heart, all are lives...

Hearing Xiaobei's words, it carefully looked at him a few times, soon retracting its aura and slowly closing its eyes.

"Got it!"

Excitedly exclaiming, Xiaobei once again approached it...

Walking up to it, Xiaobei's eye twitched!

The scent of blood was incredibly strong...

"Looks like I underestimated its condition before!"

Hoarsely muttering, Xiaobei slowly extended his hand, while a thick stream of Nine Wood True Qi slowly coursed through his veins into the palm...

Glancing at them, Xiaobei cautiously placed his hand on its body...

After feeling it carefully, Xiaobei's eyelid twitched mightily...

"Its life force is truly tenacious!"

Mumbling to himself, Xiaobei gently lifted its thick fur, and in that instant, Xiaobei saw an absolutely ferocious wound.

The wound was deep and already beginning to fester...

"To survive, it really is sheer luck!"

Praising it like this, Xiaobei slowly withdrew his hand...

At that moment, Hei, Bai, and the Treasure-hunting Rabbit gathered around...
