The legend begins with becoming a white deer.

The mountain wind, carrying the damp chill from the bottom of the cliff, poured fiercely into the throat of the old hunter Shi Yan.

He lay on the rocky beach like a piece of dead wood struck by lightning, his heavy breathing causing his chest to ache.

A sharp pain shot through my right leg; it felt like my bone was broken.

"Thank God! I almost died. I was in so much pain, my bones felt like they were going to fall apart."

Shi Yan lay on the ground, feeling both amused and exasperated. He was relieved to have survived such a close call, helpless about his broken leg, and a mix of regret and relief.

Just as dawn was breaking, he carried a machete and a hunting bow up the mountain, intending to catch some game to feed his two grandsons. But his luck was outrageously good. Less than an hour after entering the mountain, he encountered a fat lynx in the pine forest and shot it through the heart with an arrow, giving it no chance to struggle.

On the way back, they caught three more fat rabbits in the bushes. Each one was plump and juicy, enough to feed their family of eight for several days.

Just as he was carrying his heavy prey down the mountain, he inadvertently discovered a strange flower on a cliff face below a precipice.

The cliff was only about 30 meters high, and the strange flower grew in the crevices of the rock wall about 10 meters below. Its petals were as red as blood, and its unfolding shape looked exactly like a bird about to take flight.

Shi Yan had spent his entire life exploring the mountains, and he had seen at least eighty or a hundred rare and exotic plants. He knew at a glance that this was a precious medicinal herb.

He acted impulsively and didn't think much about it.

The cliff wasn't steep; a height of ten meters was hardly a danger to this old hunter.

He untied the hemp rope that he had used for several years from his back, tied it to an old pine tree at the top of the cliff, and then went down the cliff to pick the fruit.

Unfortunately, the rope, which had been in good condition for several years, suddenly snapped with a "crack" and he fell directly from a height of more than 20 meters.

At that moment, Shi Yan thought he was going to die, but he was lucky. The lynx carcass and three rabbits tied to his back became the best buffer, dissipating most of the impact and allowing him to survive. However, his right leg still slammed solidly into the protruding rock.

Fine raindrops dripped onto Shi Yan's body. He struggled to raise his slightly trembling left hand. In his palm, the bright red bird-shaped flower lay peacefully, its petals intact without a single crease. He had instinctively reached out and grabbed it the moment he fell.

Shi Yan gave a bitter smile that looked more like a grimace: "Damn it... luckily I caught him, otherwise this old man would have really lost a fortune if I had fallen like that."

Shi Yan tried to stand up by supporting himself on the ground, but as soon as he exerted force with his right leg, the pain made his old face twitch. All the strength in his body seemed to be drained in an instant. Not to mention standing up, even turning over or sitting up was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Just as he gritted his teeth, preparing to catch his breath and try again, several eerie wolf howls suddenly came from the distant woods.

"not good"

Shi Yan's face turned pale, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He tried desperately to sit up, but three dark gray figures had already run out of the woods.

With a greedy green glint in its triangular eyes, it stared intently at its immobile prey—it was a three-headed, hungry wolf.

"Oh no, you damned God, you're really not giving this old man a way to live!"

As Shi Yan looked at the three-headed wolf with its eyes glowing green, staring at him like a predator eyeing its prey, a chilling aura of death immediately rose from the depths of his heart.

He had lived in the mountains his whole life and had dealt with wolves countless times. Normally he wouldn't be afraid of this situation, but now he couldn't even stand up. He was doomed if he faced just one wolf, let alone three.

Upon seeing the two-legged beast in its field of vision, a wolf let out a low growl and leaped up, running towards Shi Yan.

It hadn't eaten for two days, and the appearance of this two-legged creature was just in time.

The other two wolves followed closely behind, ready to tear the two-legged creature to pieces and devour it on the spot.

Just at this critical moment, a snow-white figure suddenly rushed out from the woods not far away.

It was Qi Ji who rushed over the moment he heard the sound.

With just one glance, Qi Ji understood the situation and, without hesitation, chose to save the old hunter.

To obtain legendary spirit points, one must interact with people and be kind to them. The appearance of this old hunter was just right for Qi Ji.

"Yo"

Qi Ji's muscles bulged, his deer hooves galloped at full speed, and he rammed headfirst into one of the wolves.

During this period, although Qi Ji's antlers were not fully hardened, their development speed, which far exceeded that of a normal sika deer, meant that his antlers had already begun to possess offensive capabilities.

"Peng"

"Awoo!"

The impact was solid, and with the force of the impact, the wolf was instantly sent flying. Its body soared more than four meters into the air and then flew more than ten meters to the side, crashing heavily onto a pile of rocks in the distance. After landing, it let out a mournful howl of pain and was unable to get up for a while.

The old hunter Shi Yan and the other two wolves were stunned.

"This is... a white deer!"

Shi Yan stared in astonishment at Qi Ji, who had lived in this mountain range for most of his life, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a handsome white deer. He was stunned for a moment.

The other two wolves didn't freeze; instead, they looked at Qi Ji with wariness and fear.

They recognized the deer, but usually these herbivores would turn and run away the moment they saw it. This was the first time they had encountered a deer that had attacked them. The sudden burst of power made them very wary, and for a moment they did not dare to shift their attention to rush towards Shi Yan.

After his initial attack, Qi Ji immediately turned his attention to the second wolf, this time using the skill [Agile Burst].

We will still use the top-of-the-head method.

However, this time Qi Ji's burst speed was much faster than before. The second wolf, which was already on guard, couldn't react at all, and its head was hit hard by Qi Ji's deer antler.

"Let's go!"

The wolf didn't even let out a howl before its body rolled on the ground more than a dozen times. When it stopped, blood kept flowing from its eyes and nose, and its head twitched on the ground. Even if it didn't die, it was probably 80 or 90 percent dead.

"Bang!"

With a side kick, Qi Ji sent the third wolf tumbling out. The powerful force caused its internal organs to bleed on the spot. It howled in terror, enduring the pain, and struggled to its feet, limping desperately as it fled into the distance.

If it survives, it will probably remember this day for the rest of its life, remembering this terrifying yet handsome white deer.

The three-headed wolf was swiftly defeated by Qi Ji.

Shi Yan was stunned by this scene.

"OMG"

Shi Yan had seen sika deer before, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so ferocious. The force of that kick, which nearly killed a wolf, made Shi Yan think that if it were him, he would definitely be dead.

This white deer looks very fierce.

For a moment, Shi Yan was a little scared, worried that the white deer would attack him.

Although it's a herbivore, it's still an animal. If it gets angry and goes berserk, it might just trample you to death.

However, Shi Yan was clearly overthinking things. Qi Ji walked over, glanced at him, and then lowered his head... snatched the red flower from his hand.

"Hey, no, this is for an old man like me... sigh, never mind."

Seeing the precious medicine he had risked his life to obtain snatched away and eaten by the white deer, Shi Yan was both angry and helpless, but what could he do?

Considering that the white deer had saved him in some way, Shi Yan had no choice but to accept it...
