"In the extreme south of China, there is a vicious beast with four eyes, black skin, a long neck and four legs. It is ferocious and extremely greedy. It moves as swiftly as the wind and brings disaster to the people. It is a kind of water beast with a pair of horns on its head. It is surrounded by cold air. Most of them are bluish-white and dozens of feet long. Its temperament is sometimes gentle and sometimes violent. When it soars into the air, it stirs up waves of several feet in the water and is extremely powerful." This is the text in "Strange Beasts in the Book of Gods and Demons" that describes the Taotie in detail.

The first time Zhao Hanyun stood at Semu Co, he immediately sensed its desolation. Despite having grown to become the largest lake in the world (of course, this only includes lakes in Tibet for reference), there were still very few people here, practically no people at all. However, there were quite a few brown-headed gulls swimming in the lake. Zhao Hanyun roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of them.

The brown-headed gulls here are actually the same species as those seen in Pangong Lake. They both have slender red legs and pointed red beaks. Except for their wings and tails which are white with gray, their bodies are covered with pure white feathers. They have a gentle temperament and are not very afraid of people.

Not long after Zhao Hanyun summoned the deer, brown-headed gulls flew to Zhao Hanyun one after another, worshiping the deer.

"Hello! How are you!" Zhao Hanyun shouted suddenly while standing by the lake, scaring most of the brown-headed gulls that were standing next to her away.

In the distance was the other side of the river, without any mountains or flowing water, so no one paid any attention to what Zhao Hanyun said after he shouted it out.

"You guys take a good look around and see if you can find any clues." After releasing the remaining few and giving instructions, Zhao Hanyun sat by the lake and began to use his spiritual energy with his eyes closed.

When observing just now, Zhao Hanyun noticed that there seemed to be something strange here. The spiritual energy was running very slowly. If Zhao Hanyun had not recently lost a lot of spiritual energy, which made her keep an eye on her own spiritual power, with Zhao Hanyun's careless way of life, she would probably have waited until some spiritual energy was lost before she discovered it.

"It feels sticky and disgusting." Zhao Hanyun found that there was a strange smell mixed in his own spiritual energy. It was sticky and not easy to remove.

"I just don't believe it." Zhao Hanyun muttered to herself, took out some spring water and drank it, then tried to circulate her spiritual energy again, and found that the sticky feeling in her spiritual energy decreased a lot as her spiritual energy increased.

"He only bullies the weak and fears the strong." Zhao Hanyun looked around and stopped sitting. She was afraid that something would come out and she wouldn't be able to react in time.

"Be careful." Zhao Hanyun had just stood up and was about to go to the deer when he heard an urgent cry from behind him. At the same time, the deer in front of Zhao Hanyun also showed a frightened expression and strode towards Zhao Hanyun.

"What is it?" Zhao Hanyun wanted to turn his head, but fell into an embrace, with a hint of the unique fragrance of a man, and then Zhao Hanyun's eyes were blindfolded.

"Don't look." Zou Li's gentle voice came, but his hands hit him without mercy.

"What is it?" Zhao Hanyun was not in a hurry to move. He stood there quietly and asked in a calm tone.

"A few ugly things planning to plot against us." Zou Li said with disdain. The guys opposite whom he called ugly things seemed to be irritated. After looking at each other, they rushed towards this side directly.

"Crack!" After a few crisp sounds, Zhao Hanyun suddenly became curious while imagining that those blind guys had been dismembered by Zou Li. What on earth could have made him and the deer so frightened?
