He wanted to find a spirit beast that had an advantage in speed, so wolves and foxes were the best choice.
He looked in the area where Grade Three spirit beasts were. After one hour, he found some beasts, but none were wolves or foxes, so he kept searching.
He was low-key hoping to meet the fox he had encountered previously. She would have definitely given birth by now, and if by any chance her partner was truly dead, then there was a chance she was still staying in this region.

When he entered the cave, he saw two big eyes looking at him warily, but when the fox realised it was him, her eyes lit up.
