"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!"
After a moment of daze, a series of dog barking followed.
Bear Cub heard the unmistakable laughter in the barking, angrily waved its paw, but suddenly realized this exposed its swollen face, so it quickly covered its cheeks again.
"Hmm?"
Flame-tailed Fox tilted its head, looking puzzled.
Where was that little Bear Cub from earlier?
"Ooh."
Ice Fox stared at Bear Cub's swollen face for a moment, deciding this wasn't the same Bear Cub, and shook its head.
"Roar..."
Bear Cub hung its head and let out a sorrowful roar.
"Roar."
Mr. Xiong grinned, baring his teeth, and reached out with his rough big paw to pat Bear Cub's head.
Though Bear Cub had been stung by a sneaky Attendant Bee, it managed to grab the hive at a crucial moment and successfully brought it back.
It completed the task perfectly.
The flames illuminated the cave, and the translucent Silver Snow Sturgeon was placed on a branch, crackling over the bonfire below.
