If there were a large hospital nearby, Xu Fei could have intervened to save Zhu Fu’s life and handed him over to professional medical care.
But now, they were in the wilderness, and it could only be said that Zhu Fu’s luck wasn’t great.
Casually pulling out a few silver needles, Xu Fei tossed them to temporarily seal Zhu Fu’s acupuncture points, stopping the bleeding. As for whether he could survive, that was up to fate.
Moreover, Xu Fei’s immediate concern was the ferocious beast in the tree.
Since arriving here, Xu Fei had noticed the creature. After observing it closely for a while, he realised the beast that nearly killed Zhu Fu was actually just a fox!
Xu Fei hadn’t recognised it at first purely because this fox’s size was absurdly exaggerated! From a distance, it wouldn’t be a stretch to mistake it for a wolf.
If not for Xu Fei’s years of wilderness experience honing his ability to identify beasts, he might not have figured it out.
At this moment, Xu Fei’s clairvoyant vision was still active, allowing him to clearly see a fleshy object lying in the fox’s stomach.
“It seems that must be the Tai Sui.”
Perhaps because it consumed the Tai Sui, its body had grown abnormally large. This suggested its combat strength couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards either.
After making his assessment, Xu Fei was about to act, but suddenly, the Yang energy within his body began stirring restlessly, catching him completely off guard.
“What’s going on? Don’t tell me you even want to eat the Tai Sui?”
Through multiple battles with enemies, Xu Fei’s Yang energy had grown significantly, now possessing a spiritual consciousness capable of mental communication.
Otherwise, the last time Xu Fei was trapped in the basement of that Gu master’s massage parlour, the Yang energy wouldn’t have emerged on its own to save him.
Sensing Xu Fei’s thoughts, the Yang energy within him seemed to suppress its impulses.
“Fine, I don’t have time to deal with you right now. Let me handle this creature first.”
By this time, the fox in the tree had already vanished, which was why Xu Fei briefly paused his communication with the Yang energy.
It seemed as though the fox had disappeared into the forest, but Xu Fei was experienced.
Foxes were naturally carnivorous, typically stealthy hunters hiding in the woods.
Having consumed the Tai Sui, it likely wasn’t just its size that had grown; its intelligence might have been awakened as well.
A hunter you couldn’t see was the most terrifying.
Though Xu Fei was standing still, he had closed his eyes completely.
He had slowly released his true qi, forming a complete circle around himself.
This was Xu Fei’s countermeasure.
Despite the aid of his clairvoyant vision, the fox, once it slipped into the forest, moved like a fish in the sea, its speed simply too fast.
With Xu Fei’s current mastery of his clairvoyant vision still rudimentary, he couldn’t track it in detail.
The released true qi acted like an invisible warning barrier surrounding Xu Fei.
No matter how fast the fox was or from which direction it attacked, Xu Fei could respond calmly.
Rustle, rustle, rustle…
Even with his eyes closed, Xu Fei could hear the intense, rapid friction sounds through his ears.
“It’s coming!”
Suddenly, the sound stopped, and at that moment, Xu Fei’s clairvoyant vision caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure.
