The Earl looked at the cave that appeared, and as he had guessed, an even stronger scent of fox qi wafted out from inside.
He could also hear laughter coming from inside the cave, and the sound of that laughter speaking, but there was only the voice of a woman.
The Earl asked everyone to wait outside, not knowing how much danger lay ahead, and taking these powerless people with him might lead to them being ambushed by the fox inside the cave.
The Viscount, anxious about his father's safety, had no choice but to obey the Earl's command.
The Viscount and the Hunters all stayed outside the cave entrance, while the Earl, holding a magic wand, used an Illusion Technique to hide everyone outside, to prevent the fox, when cornered, from hurting those outside.
The Earl didn't have absolute confidence in defeating the fox; as cunning as it was, he also had to rely on strategies to accomplish this rescue.
