As Chen Wen quietly descended from the tree.

The coyote gradually approached where the red fox was.

However, its primary target wasn’t the red fox, but the grey bear meat that the red fox was guarding.

This skinny coyote was most likely not a match for the red fox, so it had avoided the red fox.

But unfortunately, the red fox’s perception ability was still intact.

When the coyote was about fifty meters away from it and the grey bear meat, the red fox alertly stood up.

With a slight movement of its ears, it captured the subtle sounds.

Although the red fox’s sense of smell wasn’t as strong as the Wolf Mink, its hearing was the best among Chen Wen’s animal friends.

At this moment, the red fox used sound to locate the approaching coyote.

Its fur immediately stood on end.

The red fox fixed its gaze nervously on the coyote, letting out a series of warning... whimpers.

Not intimidating at all, huh!

Listening to the red fox’s sound, Chen Wen mentally scoffed.

But in facing the red fox’s warning, the coyote showed rare signs of retreat and timidity.

Huh?

What was going on with this coyote?

Did it sense the Wolf Mink?

But the Wolf Mink hadn’t moved at all, and its scent was completely masked by the red fox and the smell of blood.

Its entire body was hidden within the bear’s abdomen.

Strange.

Chen Wen murmured and planned to circle around on his own.

To block the coyote’s escape route from behind.

After quietly instructing the Eagle, Chen Wen began to move.

...

On the coyote’s side.

After a standoff with the red fox for some time, it made a decision.

Snatch the food!

The coyote cautiously stepped toward the red fox, pausing to observe every so often.

The red fox did not attack proactively.

Because it had received a warning from the Eagle.

Thus, under the red fox’s permissiveness, the coyote gradually approached to about ten meters away.

This was when the red fox gently patted the bear’s body, signaling the Wolf Mink in the abdomen to act.

The Wolf Mink, which had long been itching to move, slowly crawled out from the bear’s abdomen.

And at this moment, the coyote sensed the red fox’s distraction.

It suddenly lunged forward, opening its mouth to bite into the meat on the bear’s back.

Crunch!

The bear meat, frozen like solid ice, only lasted a moment under the coyote’s sharp teeth before being bitten into.

The red fox did not stop it but instead emitted a series of whimpers, masking the noise of the Wolf Mink’s movement.

Just as the coyote managed to tear off a piece of bear meat.

The Wolf Mink launched a fierce attack from the side!

Its movements were incredibly quick, swirling toward the coyote like a black whirlwind.

The coyote was struck with terror!

It couldn’t understand how a Wolf Mink and a red fox could join forces and lay in wait inside the bear’s abdomen!

It’s over!

The coyote thought, but its body struggled desperately for survival.

It refused to die just like this!

A fight to the death!

The coyote released the bear meat from its mouth, letting out a series of fierce howls.

This desperate momentum caused the Wolf Mink to halt its movements.

Its intelligence had made it smarter, but also gradually instilled a fear of being injured.

And it was this fear that led to a moment of hesitation.

This hesitation gave the coyote an opportunity to escape!

The coyote saw the Wolf Mink pause and was overjoyed.

It quickly changed direction and tried to sprint away along its original path.

The Wolf Mink, having been outmaneuvered by the coyote, felt both anxious and frustrated.

How did it fall for such a trick again?!

Last time, it was tricked by the old wolf, and this time it’s the same!

Right in front of its good friends the red fox, the Eagle, and even Chen Wen!

How humiliating for a Mink!

In its shame and rage, the Wolf Mink’s movements quickened, rapidly pursuing the coyote, with the intent of engaging in a forest pursuit battle!

With an ability like the Forest Concealment Step, the speed of the Wolf Mink in the forest was undoubtedly unmatched.

Its steps were erratic, movements as fast as flying, continuously closing the distance with the coyote.

The red fox did not partake in the chase; it continued to guard the bear meat.

As the Wolf Mink was about to catch up with the coyote, the coyote’s body tilted to the right, seemingly attempting a sharp turn.

Seeing the coyote about to shake it off with a sharp turn, the Wolf Mink immediately mirrored the move.

No way I’m letting you get away!

So thought the Wolf Mink, eyes gleaming with fierce determination.

But in the next second.

In the midst of the Wolf Mink’s wrathful gaze, the coyote seemed to embody a cheetah or a gazelle.

After tilting its body slightly to the right, it executed a masterful sudden stop followed by a sharp turn.

Quickly adjusting its direction, it continued to sprint forward away from the pursuit.

The Wolf Mink, in its urgency, attempted to change direction to continue the chase.

But its body was more substantial.

Especially after having been fed by Chen Wen for so long.

You see, many times Chen Wen was too busy with work to eat, but he never forgot to prepare food for the Wolf Mink.

As a result, the Wolf Mink’s body size had grown to be on the huskier side within its family.

Being heavier meant more inertia.

The Wolf Mink’s sharp turn failed.

Its somewhat round body tilted, and its head dove toward the ground.

Mud-chomping!

No, to be precise, it was mink-chomping.

"It’s going to escape!"

The red fox exclaimed, unable to resist the urge to shout.

The coyote, on the verge of making its great escape, was exhilarated.

It even turned back proudly to glance at the mud-chomping Wolf Mink, as if mocking it.

But just as the coyote turned its head.

Right in front of it.

Whoosh!

As if a heavy object kicked up a whirlwind, or a heavy object descended from the sky.

Powerful gusts of wind came from the front.

The coyote’s heart skipped a beat.

It had just turned its head only to see a shadow looming larger before its eyes.

That shadow was Chen Wen!

The coyote attempted to use its agile movements to maneuver out of this extremely adverse situation.

But Chen Wen’s speed was too quick!

Enhanced by Swift, accelerated by Tree Assault, and further propelled by Agile Body, his top-tier speed was unrivaled.

Under such speed.

Before the coyote’s body could tilt to the side, Chen Wen’s large hand had already clasped around its neck.

Ugh!

The coyote couldn’t even cry out before Chen Wen seized it by the neck, lifting it up effortlessly.

Instinctively, the coyote attempted to bite back at Chen Wen.

But it felt its neck suddenly loosen.

Then, a surge of powerful force from the back of its neck seized hold, gripping the skin and flesh behind its neck.

And just then, the coyote lashed back.

However, this was destined to be futile.

The coyote only managed to bite at air.

"What a feisty little thing,"

Chen Wen remarked, holding the coyote with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Despite the small one’s frail appearance, it moved fairly well.

If it were healthy, the red fox wouldn’t stand a chance against it, and even the Wolf Mink would struggle.

But now, ha!

Chen Wen glanced at the nearby Wolf Mink while lifting the struggling coyote.

"How’s it going? Are you hurt?"

Upon Chen Wen’s inquiry, the Wolf Mink silently walked over.

Looking at the coyote, it wore a fierce expression: "So cunning! Even more than Old Wolf and Red Shadow!"

Red Shadow was the name of the red fox.

The red fox leisurely walked over, letting out a series of good-natured laughs.

"Not bad, pretty clever for a small creature."

Chen Wen lifted the coyote to examine its condition.

Its body was uninjured, nor did it appear sickly.

"This guy was just starving to this state."

"It’s alright, quite cunning for a little thing."

Chen Wen shook his head slightly, put the coyote on the ground, and asked: "Are you hurt?"

No one was more upset than the Wolf Mink.

Humiliated by the little coyote, it quietly approached, its eyes filled with a fierce look.

"Mink was tricked again!"

It seemed as if Chen Wen didn’t hear that, and softly talked to the Eagle.

"It’s okay, take it easy," he told the Wolf Mink, who was still fuming.

As these words echoed, the Eagle had already started its journey back to the hideout upon his signal.

Chen Wen laughed it off with the red fox and prepared to return, leaving the Wolf Mink to guard the bear meat, while he held the coyote steadily.
