The white figure appeared suddenly, incredibly swift, landing in front of the three, now less than ten meters away.

"This, this is... a white deer...?"

After a long moment, the three finally came to their senses, their previously suspended hearts slightly settling down.

"Yoo yoo yoo~"

The white deer emitted a series of deer calls, scratched the ground with its hooves, and stared at them with eyes as big as bronze bells, seemingly curious about what these strange creatures were.

Its appearance looked very majestic; its entire body was snow-white, its figure upright, with broad antlers standing on its head, exuding an extraordinary presence.

However, if one looked closely, it seemed that this white deer was somewhat different from the deer people usually saw.

Not only was its body a whole size larger, but its head was also bigger, and the pair of antlers on top were as sharp as bull horns.

"This is an immortal deer, it must be an immortal deer!"

Cheng Youquan couldn't help but exclaim after coming to his senses.

In his view, such an immortal mountain, having once shown towering sword qi, must have cultivators and others like them, with those tribulation clouds being the best proof.

He was certain that once, someone must have transcended here, and it's possible that an ancient sect might be hiding in this place.

And now, after finally reaching the foot of the immortal mountain, he immediately encountered such a white deer.

In such a scenario, how could he not associate it with a spiritual beast?

"This is a spiritual beast! This is definitely a spiritual beast! The immortal mountain is indeed a place of the transcendent! There might be huge opportunities here!"

Cheng Youquan, voice trembling, spoke to his two companions beside him.

He felt as if his heart might burst out, the "thump thump" echoing as if it could be heard.

Behind him, Liu Hai and Wang Zinan were no different, looking at the white deer with excitement, their breathing becoming uncontrollably heavy.

"Yoo yoo~"

The white deer called out again, moved a few steps, and ran around them several times, seemingly without clear purpose.

The three young men all looked at it with nervous and expectant expressions until it stopped again, and Cheng Youquan took a deep breath, summoned his courage, and walked over.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

He reached forward with an arm, seemingly wanting to touch the other's head.

Muttering under his breath, it's unclear if he was talking to himself or to the white deer.

"Yoo yoo yoo~"

The white deer anxiously scratched the ground twice but didn't run off, instead fixating its wide eyes on Cheng Youquan's approaching hand.

Behind him, the two companions were extremely tense.

They clenched their fists, their palms sweaty, as if it were them who were in contact with Bai Lu.

Elsewhere, at the Abnormality Department base outside Qionghua Suburb, the head of the intelligence team, Qi Tian, was observing the events through monitoring equipment.

Watching the young man gradually approach the white deer, he shook his head and said:

"These guys are truly ignorant and fearless. Can wild animals be approached casually? Even on Water Blue Star, where species are well-known, no one would approach in the wild just like that. Do they really think these large herbivorous animals are harmless?"

Beside him, Wu Jiawei hurriedly asked:

"So, leader, should we send someone over? To prevent any accidents..."

Qi Tian nodded and said:

"They're in the third zone now. Contact Xu Xing immediately and have him go over for support. If there's no special situation, don't reveal our presence temporarily."

"Understood! I'll send the order to Xu right away!"

Wu Jiawei operated at the console in front of him, then connected with Xu Xing to relay Qi Tian's just-given order.

This Xu Xing is a member of the Hidden Dragon Team responsible for the third area.

He was wearing a Corona Combat Suit and Corona Battle Armor, ready to reach the scene as soon as he received the orders.

"Detected many more heat signals from afar. These deer have companions, so it's time to seal off this area; the number of wild animals here is beyond estimation..."

Qi Tian was watching the screen ahead, beginning to make arrangements for the area.

On the scene, Cheng Youquan, the person in question, was unaware of the great risk his actions posed.

As a student, his usual interests were topics related to transcendent beings, with little focus on wild animals and such.

From his perspective, as long as it wasn't a carnivorous animal, there was no danger, at least not to himself.

However, he was unaware that the number of people who died at the hands of herbivorous animals far exceeded those killed by carnivorous ones each year.

His two companions were not much different, with Liu Hai appearing slightly better and not as crazy as the others.

Initially, he was very excited upon seeing the white deer.

But when Cheng Youquan extended his hand, a faint worry crept in.

The reason is simple: the white deer's reaction was too unusual.

It did not, like other animals, retreat or act defensively.

Instead, it stood there, staring unblinkingly at Cheng Youquan's hand.

The sight gave off an odd and inexplicable eerie feeling.
