The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

Later, just as they were being chased by the insect swarm, he "went to chase the big bird," leaving the two of them in the cannibalistic forest.

Then, after surviving a near-death experience, they found him already leisurely grilling something here.

This timeline...

Chen Siyao narrowed her eyes, staring at Chen Hao, and was about to say something when Chen Hao spoke up.

"Yaoyao, was that exciting?"

Chen Siyao said with lingering fear, "That was really too exciting." Just thinking about the hairless vines and those insects gives her goosebumps.

Chen Hao didn't speak, but nodded secretly. Hmm, it seems his sister likes it a lot. He wondered which was more exciting, the murder mystery game or that other kind of game.

Chen Hao took the last piece of roasted meat off the rack and tossed it to the Wolf King.

The campfire burned down to ashes, with wisps of white smoke drifting along the blue grass. Xiaoyue lay to the side, licking her paws, her mouth still glistening with oil.

Chen Siyao sat leaning against the wolf king's side and patted her stomach.

"I can hold on."

Yang Wanqing lay on the grass, sprawled out, with his hands folded behind his head.

"My first meal in this other world: roasted bird meat. I can brag about it for the rest of my life."

"This place is as big as a world, and there's so much here that you could brag about it for two lifetimes," Chen Siyao glanced at her.

"Pah, pah, pah, you jinx!"

Chen Siyao stood up and stretched. The image-recording crystal still hovered beside her, quietly rotating.

The number of viewers in the live stream remained stable at just over 400 million... The part about eating barbecue was relatively calm, but no one left.

She glanced at the comments on her phone.

"Is Yaoyao still going shopping this afternoon?"

"I want to see more creatures!"

"This grassland is so big, let's walk further afield!"

"I wish I could see a dragon."

Chen Siyao put away her phone and turned to look at her brother.

"Brother, Qingqing and I want to take a walk on this grassland this afternoon."

Chen Hao was stomping out the ashes of the campfire with his feet, without even looking up.

"Go."

Aren't you coming along?

"and."

Chen Siyao breathed a sigh of relief. With her brother around, at least she didn't have to worry about another round of that deadly pursuit... although she suspected that her brother had done it on purpose.

The three tidied up and headed deeper into the grassland.

The blue grass stretched as far as the eye could see, shorter and denser than the grass where we had just eaten barbecue. It was springy to the touch, and a cool sensation came through underfoot.

There were no clouds in the sky, and the sunlight streamed down from above, illuminating the entire grassland.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Siyao caught something out of the corner of her eye.

She stopped in her tracks.

About two hundred meters to the right front, there are several moving white dots on the grassland.

"Qingqing, look over there."

Yang Wanqing squinted in the direction she was pointing.

"Is it an animal?"

"Let's take a closer look."

The two quickened their pace. 150 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters...

Yang Wanqing shouted first.

"Wow!"

She couldn't control her voice and it carried across the open grassland.

Chen Siyao also saw it clearly.

Five deer.

It was pure white. Not the pale white of albinism, but a clean, luminous white, with every hair reflecting the sunlight, the entire deer's outline enveloped in a soft glow.

But the most striking thing is not the white color.

It's an angle.

Seven-colored horns.

Four horns, not two, grow symmetrically from both sides of the top of the head, with elegant curves and tips that curve slightly inward.

The color of the horn gradually changes from the base to the tip: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The seven colors flow slowly on the surface of the horn. It is not a fixed coating, but a living color that is constantly changing.

Their tails are wrong too. Deer on Earth have short, small tails. These deer have long, bushy tails that reach below their knees, with fine hair that creates a series of arcs of light when they swing.

Yang Wanqing covered her mouth with both hands and jumped up and down twice.

"So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful..."

Chen Siyao quickly took out her phone and glanced at the live stream.

The style of the bullet comments has changed.

"May you see the deer and be safe."

Make a wish

"May the deer be safe and sound!!!"

"Make a wish +1"

"Seven-colored horns!!! What kind of mythical beast is this!!!"

"I want to take a screenshot and use it as my wallpaper."

"May you see the deer and be safe; may ...."

"Wishing to pass the postgraduate entrance exam"

I wish my mom good health.

"I took a screenshot and will use it as my profile picture for good luck."

The comments section was flooded with messages at an incredible speed. Almost all of them were prayers and wishes.

Chen Siyao was also shocked by the scene.

She manipulated the image-recording crystal to slowly float closer to the herd of white deer, zooming in on the image to its clearest point...

The colorful antlers shimmered in the lens, the snow-white deer stood on the blue grassland, its four legs slender yet powerful, and its black hooves small and delicate.

"My darlings." Chen Siyao lowered her voice to the camera, afraid of startling the deer.

"Look at this, is it still a deer? It looks like an elf."

She took a few steps closer.

The herd of white deer raised their heads, their ten obsidian-like eyes looking at her. There was no panic, no flight. They stood still, their ears twitching and their noses twitching twice.

Examine.

They were sizing her up.

Chen Siyao took another step forward.

The five white deer simultaneously took three steps back. Their movements were synchronized and unhurried.

Don't touch it.

"Goodness, there's a sense of distance." Chen Siyao stopped where she was and stopped approaching.

After confirming that she had no intention of approaching further, the white deer lowered its head and began to eat grass again. As it nibbled, its four colorful antlers swayed slightly with the movement of its head, refracting light and scattering it onto the surrounding blue grass blades.

Yang Wanqing was almost suffocating.

"Four horns...four horns...and a tail...it has a tail...like a horse's tail..."

Chen Siyao squatted down and used the photo crystal to take a low-angle shot of the white deer's profile, with the arc of its seven-colored antlers standing out against the blue sky.

She glanced at the comments while filming.

One comment stood out among all the messages—a blue "V" logo for authentication.

"Professor Sun of the Classic of Mountains and Seas: This is very likely the ancient mythical beast 'Fuzhu'. It has four horns, a white body, and is said to be the mount of Gonggong. Where it appears, there will be a great flood. It is recorded in the Western Mountains Classic of the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Chen Siyao stared at this comment for two seconds.

She turned her head and called out to Chen Hao, who was sitting on a rock thirty meters away.

"Brother! Some people say this is Fuzhu, is it true?"

Chen Hao glanced at the herd of white deer.

He nodded.

Chen Siyao's eyes lit up.

Fuzhu. A mythical beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Gonggong's mount.

She turned back and stared at the group of white deer grazing peacefully. Her expression changed from amazement to craving—not craving for food, but craving for something more.

The comments section also fueled the fire.

"Ride! Ride it!"

"Yaoyao, why don't you try riding one?"

I bet five cents she'll get kicked away.

"Who can withstand such a rider?"

Chen Siyao gave a wry smile at the camera.

"I really want to ride them too. But as you can see, they won't let you touch them. If you take one step closer, they'll take three steps back."

She looked in the direction of her brother.

"Brother, is there any way?"

Chen Hao stood up from the rock and took two steps toward this side.

"Want to ride?"

"Yes!" Chen Siyao answered quickly.

Chen Hao stopped about twenty meters away from Bai Lu.
