Only 5 hours have passed in a day now.

She gained quite a lot.

The midday sun was shining brightly, casting dappled shadows through the gaps in the leaves, creating a warm afternoon scene.

Occasionally, a breeze would blow, carrying a faint fragrance through the forest—a unique aroma of unknown flowers, grasses, and leaves mixed together.

Suddenly, a sound came from the woods, as if something was moving through the grass. The branches were rustled, making a "crackling" sound, which made Shen Jue, who was resting in the tree, look over.

A white shadow flashed by, startling the nearby birds into taking flight and chirping incessantly.

The white figure moved extremely fast, leaving only a fleeting afterimage in the woods, making it difficult to catch.

Shen Jue has excellent eyesight. She parted the leaves and discovered that the white shadow was actually a white deer.

This deer is large and robust, with sturdy hooves and glossy, snow-white fur that shimmers with a captivating luster in the sunlight.

The deer appeared frightened and was running away in a panic. Its ears twitched slightly, as if listening to the sounds around it.

Seemingly sensing that there was no danger around, it relaxed. As it lowered its head to nibble on the tender grass, Shen Jue then noticed that the deer's hind leg was injured.

However, the injuries were not very obvious, and its movements were not hindered. Shen Jue assumed that the white deer had been frightened.

The sight of deer in the woods, especially the white one, enlivened the atmosphere. Birds returned to their perches, singing merrily and briefly adding a touch of life to the tranquil afternoon.

However, not long after, Shen Jue heard some noises with his keen hearing.

A shout came from not far away, "That white deer can't have gone far, we can still catch up with it."

"Honestly, if Miss Ye wants this white deer as her contracted beast, why doesn't she come herself instead of making us do it?"

"There's nothing we can do; after all, he's our Brother Yan's savior."

"Hurry up, hurry up! If we don't catch this white deer soon, Miss Ye probably won't like it anymore. If we get another animal instead, I'll really go crazy."

"Hey! If it weren't for Xiao Wen's carelessness and the mistake when capturing the white deer, we would have gone back long ago."

Hearing his companion's complaints, Wen Yan lowered his head, filled with self-reproach: "I'm so sorry, it was my oversight that made everyone waste time. How about this, I'll give you a share of the materials I get from hunting dream beasts later."

"Now is not the time to assign blame. You have a way to find it, so hurry up and do it." The speaker was named Xie Yan, and he concluded in a relaxed and casual manner.

This man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, possessing handsome features. If it weren't for the clearly visible old scar on his nose, his appearance would be even more striking. However, even with the scar on his face, it didn't detract from his beauty. On the contrary, the scar added a touch of wildness, making him look very aggressive.

Once Xie Yan spoke, the others dared not complain anymore, except for one person.

"Sigh, I really don't understand. They've been struggling to survive at sea, and you've saved them several times, Brother Yan. It's one thing that they're not grateful, but that Ye Lin, she actually takes it all for granted and asks Brother Yan to help her catch a white deer..."

"Little Wind!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything!" Xie Xiaofeng agreed on the surface, but in his heart he was furiously criticizing the Ye siblings. He just felt sorry for Brother Yan. All he did was call the police when they were kids and save Xie Yan from being kidnapped. So many years have passed, and the debt of gratitude for saving his life has long been repaid. It's just that Brother Yan is tough on the outside but soft on the inside! He's here at sea to survive, and he's still helping them like this!

Wen Yan probed the ground with his hand. Anyone who walked on the ground, whether human or animal, would leave a trace. These traces were traceable and could be perceived by his abilities.

His original mental strength attribute was as high as 12. Later, through his efforts and a bit of a lucky encounter, he not only raised his mental strength attribute to 30, but also developed an additional mental detection ability.

While Wen Yan was exploring, the white deer, which was feeding, also sensed something was wrong and took off running, heading straight for the big tree where Chen Jue was resting.

Finally, he carefully hid behind a big tree, without making a sound.

Its eyes gleamed; it seemed to know its fate and was looking for a chance to escape.

"Found it, it's under a big tree about 100 meters ahead."
