But the foxes did not do so.
Several elders among the six-tailed foxes began to converse in low voices. The three-tailed foxes also looked at each other, waiting for a certain outcome.
Tang Xian appeared very impatient but also refused to leave.
The bear brutes with no foresight finally couldn't hold back anymore and charged into the territory marked by the foxfire.
At that moment, the eldest among the six-tailed foxes knelt down, laying on the ground.
Following suit, the rest of the six-tailed foxes also lay down on the ground.
It was like dominoes falling; one by one, nearly a hundred foxes lay down, seemingly oblivious to the Elk Bear's attack.
Tang Xian inwardly exclaimed, appreciating the Elk Bear's unwitting assistance and resolved to feast on more bear paws later.
"Brother Tang Xian, they've agreed," said Tang Xiaojiu with tears in her eyes.
She couldn't quite distinguish whether it was joy or sorrow.
The recognition from the fox clan wasn't really necessary.
