Knowing that they had gathered around out of concern for it, Hu Xiaobei gently spoke, "Don't worry too much, it won't be truly fatal!"

With those words, Hu Xiaobei noticeably felt their mood improve significantly...

"It seems they truly care about it!"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei looked at the Treasure-hunting Rabbit and said, "I need some herbs now, you should be able to provide them, right?"

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit looked at Hu Xiaobei with some reluctance, and eventually nodded slowly.

Seeing it nod, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and quickly listed off many names of herbs.

At first, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit's expression didn't change much, but gradually, its expression became extremely unpleasant.

Because each one was particularly precious...

Watching its frustration, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "It's too late to regret now, hurry and prepare what I need!"

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's satisfaction, it really wanted to bite Hu Xiaobei.

But eventually, it gave up!

Silently twitching its ears, it vanished quickly...

After it disappeared, Hu Xiaobei looked at Hei and Xiaobai, instructing them, "Go outside and keep watch. Although it's unlikely any wild beasts will come here, still, guard it!"

They nodded and soon left...

They knew that Hu Xiaobei's treatment required absolute silence, so they prepared to ward off any beasts coming their way.

After they left, Hu Xiaobei looked at the one about to lose consciousness and said calmly, "Take a rest first! I promise, when you wake up, everything will be back to normal!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, it glanced at Hu Xiaobei!

Finally, it couldn't resist any longer and completely fainted!

Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath...

Hu Xiaobei knew that if he had arrived hours later, he might have only been able to collect its corpse, because its condition was truly severe.

"Previously, it went to Xiaohe Village, likely to absorb the Nine Wood True Qi I left in the plants! But unfortunately, the amount was really too small, so it didn't have much chance."

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei guessed something!

In fact, his guess was spot on...

This fiery red fox came here injured, originally waiting for death, but then sensed a trace of Wood Series True Qi.

It thought it could recover, so it started absorbing continuously.

This absorption caused the plants to wither...

And also made it slightly better, but due to the severity of the issue, it ultimately didn't recover...

...

"It seems to have been injured by a terrifying blade, and the blade was poisoned!"

After it fell unconscious, Hu Xiaobei seriously examined the absolutely gruesome wound...

He had seen it before, but now that he looked closely, Hu Xiaobei found out that its problem was even bigger than he had imagined.

"It looks like later I really need to be completely serious!"

Thinking this way, Hu Xiaobei first injected a trace of Nine Wood True Qi into its body...

Hu Xiaobei was doing this to temporarily protect its heart meridian.

Hu Xiaobei knew if he didn't do this, its life force would grow weaker and weaker, and eventually, it might not be saved.

After doing these, Hu Xiaobei felt its life force start to stop slipping away.

He knew what he had done before was clearly effective.

"Now just hope the Treasure-hunting Rabbit returns soon!"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei felt some movement and turned around, seeing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit crouching silently not far behind him.

Looking at it, Hu Xiaobei saw the large bundle of herbs it was holding in its arms.

Examining their condition closely, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "These herbs are very good, you've worked hard!"

With those words, Hu Xiaobei carefully took them over...

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit, seeing this scene, felt its heart bleeding!

"Out of sight, out of mind!"

Thinking this way, it didn't linger there but quickly turned and left.

Seeing it leave, Hu Xiaobei smiled and started carefully mixing the herbs...

At this moment, if others knew Hu Xiaobei spent so many precious herbs just to save a fox, they'd definitely think Hu Xiaobei was crazy because the cost of these herbs exceeded millions...

...

"The ratio is about right!"

Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei hoarsely muttered!

In the next moment, Hu Xiaobei dipped his hand into the substance akin to medicinal paste...

Then, Hu Xiaobei looked at the absolutely gruesome wound because the entire wound had already started to fester, so Hu Xiaobei knew his first task was to cut out all this rotten flesh.

Otherwise, the source of infection would remain, and it would have no chance of recovery...

After determining the treatment plan, Hu Xiaobei took out an absolutely sharp small knife.

After disinfecting quickly with Nine Wood True Qi, Hu Xiaobei prepared to proceed.

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei was somewhat nervous!

To be honest, cutting away the rotten flesh was not difficult; the difficulty lay in not harming it during the process...

Achieving this was really hard, so Hu Xiaobei was truly nervous now.

"Xiaobei, you can do it!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei regained a slight bit of confidence!

Taking a deep breath, with eyes sharp, Hu Xiaobei started to cut...

In an instant, the sharp small knife pierced directly into the already festering flesh...

Stench!

Along with this action, Hu Xiaobei smelled an absolutely foul odor!

"So poisonous!"

As the stench hit, Hu Xiaobei felt a touch of dizziness!

This dizziness confirmed for him that the poison it suffered was not simple.

Narrowing his eyes, Hu Xiaobei circulated Nine Wood True Qi, and soon the dizzy feeling completely dissipated.

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei continued swiftly...

Halfway through, Hu Xiaobei sensed its life force was rapidly fading.

"Damn it!"

Muttering under his breath, Hu Xiaobei quickly took out the silver needles he had prepared long ago...

Swiftly, Hu Xiaobei sealed all of its blood vessels...

After finishing this, Hu Xiaobei continued to channel Nine Wood True Qi into its body.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei's expression slightly relaxed.

At this moment, the Nine Wood True Qi he infused was still dissipating, but the rate had decreased significantly.

As the rate decreased, its vital signs also stabilized a great deal!

"Thankfully, I can stabilize it!"

Speaking these words, Hu Xiaobei wiped the sweat off his forehead...

In the next second, Hu Xiaobei continued his treatment.

Ten minutes later, Hu Xiaobei removed all the rotten flesh.

After finishing, Hu Xiaobei applied the previously mixed medicinal paste directly onto the wound.

After applying, Hu Xiaobei channeled Nine Wood True Qi to the area around the wound, starting to accelerate the absorption of the medicinal paste.

An hour later, watching the wound start to scab, Hu Xiaobei sighed deeply in relief...

He knew he had successfully saved it.

But the cost was too great; for at least three to five days, Hu Xiaobei won't be able to recover completely, because all of the Nine Wood True Qi in his Dantian had been nearly exhausted.

"Let's recuperate first!"

Muttering this, Hu Xiaobei quietly closed his eyes, and simultaneously, the Nine Wood True Qi in his Dantian started circulating on its own...
