Even during the day, it is no longer safe, as suddenly active plants can trap and strangle passersby, using them as their nourishment.

"How boring!" A boy with two horns on his head sat on a rock and threw pebbles into the water.
Then, complaining, "When I went over to watch them hunt, they were like bears, too scared to move. It was such a disappointment!"
"Hey, come out and dive for me!" the boy shouted at the pool. Soon, many big fish jumped out of the water for him to watch. He watched with a smile for a while, but soon lost interest and turned into an antelope and ran into the mountains.
After he left, the leaping fish disappeared, leaving only ripples on the water's surface, like someone's trembling body.
"Cousin, cousin, look over there!" A little girl spotted a white antelope grazing behind a big tree while she was digging for wild vegetables.
Another, slightly older girl turned her head and, upon seeing the antelope, dropped the wild vegetables she was holding in surprise.
"Hurry up, kneel down and pray!" The girl pulled her cousin to kneel down and said, "This is a legendary creature raised by immortals. Seeing it will bring good luck. If we pray to it, maybe we can get out of here alive!"
So the two of them began to kowtow to the antelope.
The antelope had already heard the commotion. When it looked over, it saw two strange humans. It slowly walked over and looked down at them.
At this moment, the two little girls were extremely excited and said in a trembling voice, "Lord Immortal Antelope, we hope you can bless us to get out of here alive!"
The antelope seemed to find the scene quite amusing and said with interest, "There is a big wild boar in a cave on this mountain. If you can bring me its tusks, I will bless you to leave."
Hearing that the antelope could speak human language, the two girls became even more certain that it was indeed a celestial antelope and must possess great power.

Seeing the little girl's hesitation, the antelope said, "I can give you some magical artifacts. If you take these and find more people to go with you, you will be able to defeat that wild boar. Moreover, I have heard that you humans like to eat meat. After you kill it, you can eat it."
It then spat out many glittering weapons. The little girl hurriedly went to call people to take these weapons. When they returned, the fairy antelope was gone, leaving only the glittering weapons scattered all over the ground.
After seeing these magical artifacts, the team leader believed the little girl's words. After distributing the weapons, he prepared to find the giant wild boar, kill it, and take its tusks.
At this moment, the antelope was leaping among the mountains, looking extremely happy. It jumped to the front of a cave, looked around, and then went inside.
"Big White Teeth, come out quickly, I've come to see you!" The antelope transformed back into the form of a boy.
