Upon hearing their frustration, Hu Xiaobei knew they were genuinely remorseful at this moment!
With a light chuckle, Hu Xiaobei calmly comforted them, "It’s not your fault. You’ve done quite well previously. Now, go back and rest. Leave the remaining matters to me, I’ll go take a look around first!"
Having said this, Hu Xiaobei prepared to step forward!
Understanding Hu Xiaobei’s intentions, they quickly asked, "Master Xiaobei, do you need us to accompany you?"
Shaking his head slightly, Hu Xiaobei calmly replied, "No need! You all go back and rest."
"Alright!"
They agreed!
They were aware that following Hu Xiaobei wouldn’t really be of any help, so it was better to go back and have a good rest.
"Alright! Hurry back and rest then, there are many tasks waiting for you in the village!"
"Okay!"
Promising once again, they all stepped away.
After they left, Hu Xiaobei leisurely walked along the quiet path, taking his time.
Previously, Hu Xiaobei suspected someone was poisoning the fruits and vegetables, causing them to wither.
Now, Hu Xiaobei knew it couldn’t be poisoning.
Because the youngsters were patrolling the area daily, if someone was indeed poisoning the fruits, it couldn’t escape their notice.
"I’m really quite interested in their cause of disease!"
Murmuring to himself, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the long path and continued to walk forward...
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei calmly halted in front of a withered fruit tree.
This was a pear tree...
Under normal circumstances, it should be laden with fruits, but now its branches were bare, leaves all fallen.
"Not a shred of life force left!"
Approaching, Hu Xiaobei carefully examined its roots, murmuring to himself.
After the self-talk, Hu Xiaobei continued to scrutinize it.
Hu Xiaobei didn’t find a single clue, which made him feel the situation was quite tricky.
He attempted to inject the Nine Wood True Qi to revive it, but soon Hu Xiaobei gave up...
Because reviving it proved exceptionally difficult.
"Although I don’t know what destroyed it, it has been incredibly thoroughly ravaged!"
Having said this, Hu Xiaobei stood up and continued forward!
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei arrived at another withered fruit tree.
This time, Hu Xiaobei observed even more attentively!
But just like before, Hu Xiaobei still didn’t discover any useful information...
"Though I don’t know who did it, I must admit, it’s indeed clean and neat work!"
Murmuring to himself, Hu Xiaobei collected his thoughts and continued walking forward...
...
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei looked delightedly at a moderately small footprint on the ground not far away.
In the past half hour, Hu Xiaobei had observed many withered fruits and vegetables, but hadn’t yielded any meaningful results.
Now, Hu Xiaobei made a discovery.
The discovery is the slightly odd-looking footprint in front.
Examining it closely for a moment, Hu Xiaobei couldn’t determine what animal the footprint belonged to...
"Looks like I need to find someone professional, indeed!"
Murmuring quietly to himself, Hu Xiaobei raised his head and loudly called, "Kenghuo, I need your help!"
Having said this, Hu Xiaobei didn’t receive any response.
Slightly twitching the corners of his mouth, Hu Xiaobei spoke in a deep voice, "Kenghuo, I know you can hear me! I’ll give you three seconds, and if you don’t appear, bear the consequences!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei still didn’t see it appear, not even a hint of it...
Frowning lightly, Hu Xiaobei started counting down...
As soon as he counted to the second number, Hu Xiaobei felt a weight on his shoulder.
Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw the chubby creature lying on his shoulder, watching him.
"You’re finally willing to come out!"
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei saw it shake its chubby forepaw with grievance.
Understanding it intended to explain, Hu Xiaobei directly said, "Don’t bother with that, I have something serious for you."
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei didn’t wait for it to say more, directly pointing to the footprint on the ground, "Considering you’re knowledgeable, you should know what this footprint belongs to."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s question, it jumped off Hu Xiaobei’s shoulder and stared intensely.
"Seems like it really knows,"
