What Is This, the Seven-Colored Deer?
The moment Xiao Fan spoke, the other team members scattered rapidly, and a long arrow flew through the ranks, landing on the ground not far away.
"A player?"
Xiao Fan glanced at the long arrow, then turned around abruptly, only to see a figure disappear into the dense forest. His expression instantly darkened.
"It must be a player from the City of Kings."
Jian Qingfeng frowned, looking in the direction the figure had disappeared, and speculated.
He doesn't readily label people, but when players appear in the Monster Region and actively attack them, he can only think of the people from City of Kings.
"Incompetent coward, all he knows is to attack from behind," Xiao Fan said coldly.
"What are the players from the City of Kings doing here? Aren't their cities all at level five?"
Jian Qingfeng's gaze was sharp.
Xiao Fan recalled the information he had heard in the City of Kings and said with a dark face.
"Quan Zhong told Shen Long a lot of clues about special missions in the Monster Region. When I went to the City of Kings, I heard Shen Long exploring the Monster Region."
"Special mission clues, like the Seven-Colored Deer?" Jian Qingfeng asked.
"Hmm," Xiao Fan said, "There should be other special missions in the Monster Region, it's a pity I didn't overhear them back then."
"These bastards dared to ambush us! Kill them!"
Iron Blood- blooded Qi clenched his fists so tightly that his fingers cracked.
Let's find the Seven-Colored Deer first.
Although Xiao Fan was angry, the distance was too far just now, and even if they went to look for the other party now, they might not be able to find them.
Furthermore, he guessed that one of the reasons the other side attacked them was to prevent them from continuing their search for the Seven-Colored Deer.
Jian Qingfeng stared at the disappearing figure with a murderous look on his face.
"Let's go find the deer first; we'll deal with these people later."
At noon, Xiao Fan and his group were searching a new area when a deer's cry suddenly came from afar.
The sound was clear and melodious, unlike the gentle chirping of birds or the harsh roar of beasts.
A cry of "yoyo" seemed to pierce through time, gently echoing on the mountainside.
"The cry of a deer, Seven-Colored Deer, it must be Seven-Colored Deer!"
Iron Blood looked in the direction from which the sound came with a look of surprise, and the other team members also showed surprise.
"Let's go! Let's take a look."
Xiao Fan immediately led his team towards the direction from which the sound came.
The deer's cry didn't stop; a second cry, a third cry... it seemed to be deliberately guiding the players towards it.
As the sound grew closer, Xiao Fan suddenly stopped.
"Master, why aren't we moving?"
Xiao Fan looked ahead and said in a deep voice.
"That sound might not have come from the Seven-Colored Deer; we'd better be careful."
"That makes sense!"
The others suddenly came to their senses.
They rushed over just because they heard the deer's cry. What if the sound wasn't from Seven-Colored Deer, but some kind of Magic Beast deer-like beast? Wouldn't they be doomed if they ran over?
Even experts should be careful!
"Let's go, everyone be careful. We'll move forward only after we confirm it's Seven-Colored Deer." After saying that, Xiao Fan took the lead and carefully moved forward.
The deer's cry came from the dense forest in the Flower Valley, where the trees were layered upon each other, becoming increasingly dark the deeper one went, and a light mist was floating in the forest.
As another deer cry rang out, so clear it seemed to be right next to his ear, Xiao Fan stopped and hid behind a large tree.
We can't go any further.
"The Magic Beast that made the deer's cry is not far ahead." Jian Qingfeng also looked ahead nervously, but they couldn't see anything due to the white mist.
"Wait a moment."
Unable to see any information, Xiao Fan dared not rush in.
The group carefully concealed themselves in the dense forest, their eyes fixed ahead, waiting for the Seven-Colored Deer to appear.
Less than five minutes later.
A clear and melodious bell sound rang out in the dense forest, as if a beautiful young girl wearing a bell was slowly walking towards them.
But this is Monster Region, where would a young girl come from?
"It should be the Seven-Colored Deer," Xiao Fan whispered.
As soon as the words were spoken, a gigantic figure slowly appeared before everyone, shrouded in white mist.
"Ding... Ding..."
As the enormous figure moved, the bells rang rhythmically.
"As expected of Magic Beast, it even has its own sound effects when it walks," Iron Blood exclaimed in surprise.
As Xiao Fan gazed at the increasingly clear and enormous figure, he fell into self-doubt.
The image seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined.
He always felt that the Seven-Colored Deer should be ethereal, with its body covered in seven colors and its fur shimmering with iridescent light. When it runs, it comes riding on clouds, like a spirit from the mortal world, dreamlike and illusory.
But...
Xiao Fan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he stared in shock at the enormous creature that had already appeared before him.
It's definitely a deer.
But it has absolutely nothing to do with being ethereal or otherworldly!
The giant deer before us was over ten meters tall, its entire body covered in thick, dark brown fur, so thick it looked like it was wearing a yak cloak. Its pair of scarlet eyes looked down, like an ancient behemoth, the oppressive aura almost tangible, making it hard to breathe.
Even more astonishing are its enormous antlers—thicker than the deer itself, Entangle with a pair of rusty copper bells and several clusters of beautiful, unidentified flowers that sway gently in the wind.
Xiao Fan:...
We know the Seven-Colored Deer likes flowers, but we didn't say it was this kind of liking...
That's fucking terrifying!
If it weren't for the Seven-Colored Deer information on the yellow part of the deer's head, Xiao Fan would never have believed that this thing was called Seven-Colored Deer.
"Great... Great God... Are you... are you sure this thing is Neutral and won't harm us players?"
Iron Blood stammered, his hands trembling.
At that moment, he finally understood the difference between Magic Beast and Fierce Beast.
Although both were very large, he couldn't feel the oppressive aura of the powerful Magic Beast that he felt from the Fierce Beast.
"Probably. Since their names aren't red, they shouldn't attack people unprovoked," Xiao Fan said.
"Damn, it's supposed to be Neutral, does it really need to look like this?"
One player couldn't help but complain.
"Humans, stop hiding, I can see you all."
Just then, the Seven-Colored Deer suddenly spoke to the place where everyone was hiding.
Xiao Fan was alright; he had heard many Magic Beast speak before, so it wasn't surprising to him. But for the others, it was the first time they had ever heard Magic Beast speak human language.
This was completely beyond their comprehension; they stood there stunned, unsure how to react.
Stared at by the Seven-Colored Deer's scarlet eyes, even though he knew it was a Neutral Magic Beast, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of craving. It was too creepy!
But thinking of this mission, he forced himself to overcome his fear and stepped forward, bowing to the Seven-Colored Deer.
"Your Excellency Seven-Colored Deer, we have heard that you need some assistance. Although we are of meager strength, we are willing to do what we can to help you."
Xiao Fan's words stunned not only Jian Qingfeng and the others behind him, but also the Seven-Colored Deer.
What a polite player! Much better than those cowards from before!
