"That creature, relying on its speed, created trouble everywhere, but this time, it met its nemesis, and from now on, it will probably behave for a while!"
Hu Xiaobei stepped forward as he spoke...
Earlier, when Xiaobai said the Treasure-hunting Rabbit was trapped, Hu Xiaobei had some doubts...
Because he knew that despite the rabbit's trouble-making nature, it was incredibly fast and generally didn't get into trouble...
Now, Hu Xiaobei had no more doubts, as it was indeed tightly bound...
Hu Xiaobei knew that before, it must have taken an interest in the Sky-piercing Fruits borne by the Sky-piercing Vine...
It's just that it didn't understand the nature of the Sky-piercing Vine and took it for an ordinary vine, which is why it ended up in this predicament.
With this in mind, Hu Xiaobei heard the pitiful cries of the Treasure-hunting Rabbit...
Knowing it was pleading for help, Hu Xiaobei laughed and said, "Relax, I'll rescue you soon. But remember this lesson, and don't cause trouble aimlessly anymore, or I won't care next time, got it?"
After that, Hu Xiaobei saw it nodding its head frantically.
"How should I rescue it?"
Looking at the tightly entwined Treasure-hunting Rabbit, Hu Xiaobei felt a slight headache.
Hu Xiaobei knew that he couldn't approach recklessly, lest he end up in the same predicament as the rabbit.
"I remember that the Sky-piercing Vine fears poison the most, if only there were some right now..."
Before he could finish, Hu Xiaobei's eyes suddenly lit up. The most update n0vels are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Because at that moment, Hu Xiaobei spotted a deep black scorpion crawling their way from not too far off.
Admiring it in astonishment, Hu Xiaobei observed the scorpion that was close to a meter long!
Hu Xiaobei knew that only in such a place would one find such an enormous scorpion; outside, such a giant creature would probably scare many to death...
"I wonder if it can understand me talking!"
After looking at its deep black shell, Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself.
Quickly, Hu Xiaobei gritted his teeth and moved closer.
Hu Xiaobei knew he needed its help to rescue the Treasure-hunting Rabbit.
So even though he knew approaching it was dangerous, Hu Xiaobei couldn't care less at that moment...
He had just taken two steps when Hu Xiaobei saw it raise its tail alertly.
Muttering so, Hu Xiaobei cleared his throat and quickly said, "I mean no harm, I just want to make a deal that's good for both of us."
Hu Xiaobei watched its black eyes while speaking.
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei was very nervous, not knowing if it could genuinely understand him.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei sighed in relief because he saw a touch of curiosity in its eyes; clearly, it understood him and was very interested in his proposal!
Hu Xiaobei knew its interest was because it knew he wasn't someone to mess with.
And it also knew that Hei and Xiaobai standing behind him were not to be messed with either.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have given itself the time for idle talk and would have already used its sharp black pincers to crush me to bits by now.
Having thought everything through, Hu Xiaobei once again took two steps toward the creature.
The next second, Hu Xiaobei channeled the Nine Wood True Qi within his body, knowing that the only thing that could entice the scorpion was the Nine Wood True Qi he possessed.
Apart from that, there was nothing on him that could possibly interest it.
That's why, Hu Xiaobei didn't hesitate to direct the Nine Wood True Qi straight to the palm of his hand.
Shortly after, Hu Xiaobei smiled because the moment Nine Wood True Qi started circulating, he felt the creature become slightly energized.
"It clearly has an interest in Nine Wood True Qi!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei chuckled.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei temporarily withdrew the True Qi. "I want to make a trade with you. If you help me rescue that rabbit, I'll give you the True Qi I was just using. What do you think?"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei was slightly anxious.
Because he had no idea whether it would actually agree.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei let out a sigh of relief.
Because the creature quickly retracted its tail and turned swiftly to climb over the deep cyan vines.
Watching it so willing to help, Hu Xiaobei's understanding of the saying "money talks" deepened even more.
"My guess was spot on."
As the scorpion approached, the vines that had snaked around briskly began to retract...
That let Hu Xiaobei know for certain that its greatest fear was indeed the poison.
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei looked at the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, apologizing to him, and he couldn't help but feel aggravated.
"You little Kenghuo, this is the last time. If you go looking for trouble again, I won't save you—got it?"
Although he had already forgiven it, Hu Xiaobei still didn't hesitate to issue it a warning.
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's warning, it knew it had been forgiven and smiled human-like, swiftly jumping onto Hu Xiaobei's shoulder.
"You little Kenghuo!"
After ruffling its head, Hu Xiaobei turned towards the black scorpion waiting in front of him.
After taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei spoke, "Thank you for saving it. I'll fulfill my promise right away."
While speaking, Hu Xiaobei channeled the Nine Wood True Qi from within his body, and quickly, it began to gather again in his hands.
Noticing what was happening, the deep black scorpion shook slightly with excitement.
Knowing it really wanted the Nine Wood True Qi, Hu Xiaobei smiled and quickly passed it on.
The deep black scorpion was soon enveloped by the Nine Wood True Qi Hu Xiaobei had transferred...
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei could feel very clearly how the creature absorbed the True Qi bit by bit...
After it had completely absorbed it, Hu Xiaobei looked at the somewhat reluctant creature and gently shook his head.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei explained to it, "I know you want to continue absorbing the Nine Wood True Qi, but that's as much as your body can handle right now. If I continue to give it to you, your body won't be able to absorb it."
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei saw a flash of human-like disappointment in its eyes, smiled, and continued, "How about this: once you have fully digested the True Qi I gave you, come find me where I'm staying. I'll continue to give you more Nine Wood True Qi then, okay?"
After finishing, Hu Xiaobei watched it ponder seriously. Soon enough, Hu Xiaobei smiled because, at that moment, he saw it human-like nod its head in agreement...
