Chapter 314: Chapter 313: Holy moly, that’s fierce, I see a Divine Beast in the live broadcast room!

Shennongjia.

This place was once rumored to be haunted by wild men, but those were just tall tales that no one mentions anymore.

However, some passersby have captured videos that show the rare animals of Shennongjia.

That includes albino animals.

There are many albino animals in the natural world, such as white tigers, white lions, white peacocks, white crocodiles, and so on.

There is an exception among them, which is the leopard; its genes are the opposite, resulting in a pure black color.

Aside from these, many other rare animals have been observed in Shennongjia.

For example, albino sika deer, albino black bears, albino weasels.

There’s a cold joke about the albino black bear—the wildlife protection organization, after discovering it, thought it was a lost Arctic bear and sent it back to the Arctic.

As a result, the albino black bear kept running south, stubbornly making its way back to the forests of the North.

If the albino black bear could talk, it might curse:

"Damn it, I’m a black bear, you idiots, get it right, I’m a black bear!"

Anyway, it’s quite peculiar.

It’s like Shennongjia has something special about it, there are many albino animals here.

The next morning, Xu Yang started his live stream.

This time, the live stream was different from all the previous ones.

As viewers entered the live stream, the first thing they saw was mist swirling all around.

Hazy and indistinct, like a fairyland.

[Where the hell is this? Is this still in China?]

Someone asked the moment they entered the live stream.

[Old Xu’s live stream? Has he returned to the Otherworld? I knew he was from a different era!]

[The host is back in Heaven? Has it been revealed?]

[So much mist!]

The live stream was enveloped in fog, with visibility not very clear.

At that moment, Xu Yang’s voice came through:

"This area is like this, the mist is quite thick, and it may clear up by noon."

"It’s very damp, not suitable for people to live nearby, otherwise, it’s easy to get rheumatism."

"However, there are plenty of animals around here."

"Like black bears, sika deer, and the like."

"I wonder if they can get rheumatism—maybe their fur insulates them so they don’t have to worry about that."

Along with Xu Yang’s voice, his figure gradually emerged.

Looking closely, Xu Yang was dressed in a full set of mountaineering gear and a backpack, looking extremely professional, and he’d also slipped into a disposable transparent raincoat, wrapping himself up tightly.

The raincoat was quite useful, blocking most of the moisture.

The live stream quickly filled with people, and the popularity value shot up into the top fifty on the rankings in an instant.

Xu Yang felt he was just engaging in Mountain Rushing as usual, but netizens were hailing him as China’s number one outdoor explorer.

No one else could do what he was doing.

[Where is this?]

[Where has he run off to this time?]

Viewers kept asking in the live stream, wanting to know where Xu Yang was.

After all, there are many mountains shrouded in clouds and fog in China.

Every province in China has mountains, and most cities are surrounded by smaller hills.

It’s no wonder then that Huaxia has so many mountain ranges.

Without telling them, they’d have no clue.

Xu Yang did not conceal the location, explaining:

"I’m currently in Shennongjia. This place is very special, not only does it have a primordial forest and rare wildlife, but there are also ancient ruins."

"However, the ruins have been closed off, and they’re not letting anyone in. It’s impossible to see the Shennong Ding at the mountain peak."

"I always abide by the rules; I won’t go where I’m not allowed."

"The place I am now is the primordial forest of Shennongjia, a forest area rarely entered by people."

"I’ve come here to seek out the mythical Divine Beasts, the albino animals."

"Everyone, just look at this setting—if a white deer suddenly appears, wouldn’t it seem almost like an Immortal Beast?"

Hearing Xu Yang’s explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

So, this was Shennongjia.

However, shortly after, a question surged in the minds of most viewers:

Where is Shennongjia?

People don’t know much about this area; it feels like the primordial forest has nothing to do with them.

That’s why watching Xu Yang’s live stream gave them a sense of surprise and excitement.

Xu Yang explored the forest.

To say he was looking for mountain goods wasn’t really Xu Yang’s greatest desire anymore.

After all, the precious plants in the mountains are protected species, and the current market wouldn’t yield much profit.

He was just a forest exploration enthusiast who enjoyed venturing deep into the jungles to see the scenery.

Just like when he was a kid, always running into the mountains.

Perhaps because of some fate between Xu Yang and this big mountain.

His words had barely ceased when suddenly, an enchanting figure appeared ahead.

Because of the swirling mist, the first glimpse wasn’t very clear.

As Xu Yang took a few steps forward, the figure emerged from the mist, and an expression of astonishment appeared on Xu Yang’s face.

It was a sika deer, a white sika deer.

The white sika deer were even more agile than the usual deer, especially the adults with antlers.

Honest to say, deer antlers make great ornaments.

Breeding farms have produced white Sika Deer before, and if it weren’t for the deer antlers, white Sika Deer would look very much like sheep.

Even giving off the impression of being sheep.

But as soon as the deer antlers come out, the quality instantly skyrockets.

Definitely a Divine Beast.

Indeed, hairstyle influences beauty.

This Sika Deer stood on the slope, its body obscured by a clump of bushes.

Upon seeing it, Xu Yang exclaimed,

"Damn, it really exists, and it’s here!"

The drone didn’t detect the Sika Deer right away; it took a few seconds before the camera panned towards it.

The viewers also saw the true appearance of the white Sika Deer.

The deer was covered in white fur, and on its head stood a pair of massive deer antlers with many forks.

Coupled with the surrounding misty white fog, it truly resembled an Immortal Beast.

[Holy cow, are you sure you’re not in the Otherworld?]

[Is this really live? Is this not a movie?]

[What is this? Who raised it? There are Immortals!]

[Dang, that’s fierce. Seeing a Divine Beast in the live stream, guess I gotta sleep some more!]

This scene was incredibly amazing.

The white Sika Deer stood not far away, stopped, and looked around with its head.

Occasionally, it would twitch its ears, as if on alert.

It stayed in the same spot for seven or eight seconds before bouncing away again.

Xu Yang quickly walked forward, hoping to catch another glimpse of the Sika Deer.

But after he walked over, he saw nothing but mist, and the white Sika Deer had long vanished.

The place was truly mystical, leaving Xu Yang feeling a bit befuddled.

"Lost sight of it, it ran surprisingly fast."

Xu Yang remarked.

The viewers found it even more curious; this single shot left everyone in awe.

Xu Yang continued further inward.

By 10 o’clock, the fog had visibly dissipated somewhat.

By 11 o’clock, the fog had completely cleared, and the scenery around became much more expansive.

At a glance, the views at the foot of the mountain could be seen.

Xu Yang, seeing the timing was almost right and having gone quite deep, chose to use the Treasure Compass.

[Trigger Treasure Hunting Task: Photo with an Albino Animal!]

[Task Requirement: Please take a photo with any albino animal.]

[Task Reward: An albino White Crow, newly hatched in Changbai Mountain Forest that will take a liking to the host as it grows.]

Task information appeared on the panel.

Seeing the reward, Xu Yang’s eyes lit up a bit.

"An albino Crow?"

Xu Yang had read about albino Crows; they are an extremely rare crow species, incredibly scarce.

Such animals can’t be measured with money.

The saying goes, "All crows under the sky are black," but albino Crows go against the grain, being pure white.

Of course, crows are not actually black, but iridescent, showing a rainbow halo under sunlight, although appearing to be black.

"Albino Crow, that’s really rare."

"If the reward is one, that’s pretty good."

Xu Yang became interested.

Abroad, one could legally keep crocodiles, and albino crocodiles were valued at several million U.S. dollars each, hinting at the high value of albino animals.

In a world where catching pets is possible, this would be considered a mutation pet, one that money can’t buy.

The system provided three geographical location markers for albino animals.

All three albino animals were quite far away, forcing Xu Yang to choose only one.

Moreover, one of them was moving quickly, which Xu Yang guessed to be a vigilant Sika Deer, not good for taking pictures.

Therefore, he chose another albino animal that was not moving much and walked towards its location.

Some photo tasks are easy, some are hard.

It’s all about luck.

After the mist cleared, the scenery of the Primordial Forest seemed a little monotonous.

Xu Yang took off his disposable raincoat, packed it neatly into his backpack, and continued on his way.

Without the raincoat, his movements became much more agile.

The viewers watched the Primordial Forest and casually chatted away.

[Was that white deer real just now? It wasn’t a mirage, right?]

[Can a live camera capture a mirage?]

[It’s definitely real; there are albino deer there, it’s not something rare.]

[Albino deer are even raised on farms, but none as pretty as the one just now!]

[Old Xu always visits such magical places, he really knows how to pick locations!]

Xu Yang wasn’t paying attention to this.

He kept moving forward.

Along the way, he encountered a Weasel, bumped into two Musk Deer, each sighting provoking waves of surprise from the viewers.

Until Xu Yang arrived at the destination marked for the task.

When the drone camera focused ahead, the viewers got a clear view of the live broadcast.

At that moment, everyone just felt a bit dazed, and some couldn’t help but rub their eyes.

Holy smokes?

Is that... an Arctic bear?!
