The legend begins with becoming a white deer.

Qi Ji hid among the deer herd and noticed three gray wolves in the grass in the distance. His heart pounded wildly.

"God, why did you make me a deer? I hate you!"

Qi Ji is currently in a state of mental breakdown. No one would be in a good mood if they accidentally died from electrocution in their previous life and were reborn as a sika deer.

The key point is that it's not an ordinary sika deer, but a three-month-old "white deer" with fair fur all over its body, making it extremely conspicuous among the deer herd.

Feeling nervous, Qi Ji felt even hungrier. He quickly bent down and nibbled on the green grass on the ground, while keeping his ears and eyes constantly alert to any movement in the distance.

Unlike his own brother, who foolishly hopped and skipped around while being protected by the deer herd, he was different.

Qi Ji was very clear about his current situation.

As a herbivore, the sika deer does not occupy a high position in the natural food chain; it is a prime food source for many medium to large carnivores.

In order to survive better, all Qi Ji could do was grow up as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, his human consciousness did not disappear because of the sika deer's body, and he also had a cheat code called "Spirit Pearl" inside him.

This thing traveled through time together with Qi Ji.

Although Qi Ji had never seen this bead before, he was certain that it was inside his body. It was activated suddenly after he had been breastfed to his heart's content, and the voice in his mind said "Spiritual Points +1".

From that moment on, Qi Ji understood the effect of the Spirit Pearl: one could increase so-called Spirit Points by eating until one's stomach was full.

100 Spirit Points can increase lifespan by 1 year.

Alternatively, you can undergo a physical enhancement. Each physical enhancement has a small chance of granting you a special skill.

Besides ordinary Spirit Points, Spirit Pearls can also generate "Legendary Spirit Points," but Qi Ji didn't understand how to do that, as he had no information about it.

However, adhering to the principle of proximity, Qi Ji's main task at present is to accumulate as many as possible to reach 100 Spirit Points.

He has now accumulated 99 points, and only needs one more meal to fill his stomach.

"Faster, faster!"

Qi Ji's senses were much sharper than those of an ordinary sika deer, and he had already detected the hidden danger in the distance. Since animals do not have language, he could not inform the herd of all this through words, and he was also afraid of alerting the enemy. Therefore, he could only try to eat his fill before the three gray wolves launched their hunt.

"Yo yo"

A sika deer, slightly smaller than Qi Ji, came closer and nuzzled against him, seemingly wanting Qi Ji to play with it.

"Get out of my way, don't bother me."

Qi Ji shook his head, moved his silly brother away, and continued eating with his head down.

The little sika deer clearly couldn't understand Qi Ji's words. Instead, it was more interested in this brother who looked quite different from itself, and kept rubbing its head against Qi Ji.

"Don't disturb my meal, you silly roe deer!"

Just then, a doe walked over; she was the mother of Qi Ji and the fawn.

It's not autumn yet, so the male deer haven't entered their rutting season, and the herd consists mainly of female deer and fawns.

Qi Ji's herd consisted of seven doe and five fawns, led by an old doe.

"Yo"

Qi Ji's mother came to Qi Ji's side and gently licked the fur on Qi Ji's back. Although her child was different from other sika deer from birth, the scent from their blood made the mother deer feel no rejection.

Feeling the touch and smell behind him, Qi Ji paused slightly while eating, then continued eating.

Although deer do not speak, the blood ties that Qi Ji felt towards this doe were complex; she was his birth mother, but the connection was different from that between humans.

In short, Qi Ji was a little unsure how to face the doe, so for the time being he could only suppress all his distracting thoughts and focus on getting his fill of food.

"Spirit Points +1"

Finally, after two minutes of frantic eating, Qi Ji felt full and a wonderful system voice rang in his mind.

But at the same time, the three gray wolves that had been trying to sneak up from afar finally launched their attack.

"Finally, I've reached 100 points! I can... Oh no!" Alarm bells rang in Qi Ji's mind.

Three gray figures darted out of the grass in a flash. The old doe immediately let out a cry and led the way in fleeing, with the other does following suit.

This is where the difference between fawns and adult deer becomes apparent.

Faced with three gray wolves, the five fawns, except for Qi Ji who immediately followed the herd to escape, all stood frozen in place until their mother called out anxiously, at which point the fawns panicked and ran after her.

But that one second of delay is the distance between death and imminent arrival.

As Qi Ji fled with the deer herd, he immediately heard the cry of a fawn behind him. The voice was familiar; it belonged to his own brother.

Qi Ji subconsciously turned his head and saw a gray wolf bite his brother's neck. With a few twists, the fawn lost its life.

Young sika deer are at a huge disadvantage when facing the sharp teeth of carnivores.

Having witnessed death firsthand, Qi Ji's inner desire for life was aroused to its fullest extent.

"Spirit Pearl, strengthens physique"

Qi Ji called out in his heart, and the next second, 100 spirit points transformed into a warm current of energy that spread throughout Qi Ji's body, causing the three-month-old fawn's physique to change rapidly.

The other two gray wolves continued to chase the fawn.

Whether it was the other deer who were lucky or Qi Ji who was unlucky, the two wolves almost tacitly set their sights on the white deer that was different from the other sika deer.

Damn it.

Qi Ji had no time to complain; he could only run away with all his might.

The two wolves worked together to block Qi Ji's escape route, separating him from the deer herd.

Meanwhile, Qi Ji's mother discovered that her two children were being targeted, and one of them was already dead.

The mournful cry of the deer was heard, and its maternal instincts drove it back uncontrollably, howling desperately in an attempt to frighten the two gray wolves.

If it were a male deer, it would be alright, but the gray wolf wasn't afraid of a female deer without antlers at all, and tore a wound on Qi Ji's mother with a single claw.

The doe, in pain, instinctively flinched away, and the two gray wolves abandoned her and chased after Qi Ji.

Faced with two gray wolves chasing her cubs, the mother deer's eyes were filled with reluctance and helplessness. She knew she was no match for the two wolves, and if she insisted on chasing after them to protect them, she might lose her life as well.

In the end, it could only let out a desperate cry and turn to run towards the herd of deer.

Forced to break away from the deer herd, Qi Ji dared not slow down. The howls of the wolves behind him were like the scythe of death, constantly stimulating his nerves.

Fortunately, the warm energy within his body was also constantly improving his physique, filling Qi Ji's limbs with strength.

The two gray wolves that were chasing them became increasingly surprised.

They discovered that the little white deer was moving faster than they could comprehend, and even with their full effort, they couldn't catch up, and were gradually falling behind.

The two gray wolves, refusing to believe it, continued their pursuit, thinking that no matter how fast Qi Ji was, he was still a small deer and couldn't possibly have much stamina.

Five minutes later...

"Hehe"

"Hehe"

The two gray wolves, panting, stared at the little white deer that had completely disappeared ahead, their eyes filled with surprise and frustration at losing their prey.

The next second it started raining, which made the two wolves even more depressed.

That's good; they don't even have the idea of ​​tracking by scent anymore.
