Auspicious Beast Type, another new Type. Will there be a Curse Type in the future?
Regarding this [Seven-Colored Deer], Luo Chen had only one evaluation: it was fine as a mascot, but a bit lackluster in direct combat.
Things like luck were still a bit too mystical for Luo Chen; look at this [Seven-Colored Deer], even with good luck, it still got caught by him.
Luo Chen took out a high-grade Beast Restraint Ring, placed it around its neck, and then put it into a storage item capable of holding living creatures.
This secret realm was so large, surely there couldn't be only this one kind of beast? Luo Chen continued to move forward along his current direction.
The forest was eerily quiet; there was no chirping of birds or insects, not even the sound of wind, which was truly unreasonable.
He had been walking for quite a while, nearly two hours, and apart from the first [Seven-Colored Deer], Luo Chen had yet to encounter a second living creature.
Had his luck turned bad? Luo Chen felt a bit self-doubt.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Luo Chen released the [Seven-Colored Deer] he had captured.
He wasn't sure if this [Seven-Colored Deer] had used a luck-reducing Skill on him, so he said to Xiao Maoqiu, who was taller than him, "Knock it out, and sever its connection to the outside world."
Xiao Maoqiu extended its tail and lightly swept it across the back of the [Seven-Colored Deer]'s neck. It didn't seem to use much force, but the entire [Seven-Colored Deer] beast fainted.
Then, a thin layer of air film covered its entire body, leaving only two small holes at its nose to allow it to breathe.
Just as Luo Chen was preparing to put the [Seven-Colored Deer] away again, a bright, warm, orange glow spread throughout the area, and then Luo Chen discovered that his spatial item had lost its reaction and could not be opened at all.
Luo Chen tried it once, and seeing that the spatial item had no reaction, he stopped trying and instead looked around vigilantly.
He wanted to find the beast that had released this Skill from the shadows.
However, a bright yellow figure soon appeared before Luo Chen, and at the same time, a gentle layer of bright yellow light instantly enveloped the area.
The sky, the ground, and the surrounding trees were all illuminated in bright yellow.
Luo Chen, who could now be considered knowledgeable, instantly realized what this bright yellow light was: a Domain Skill, and likely a Domain Skill of considerable strength.
Luo Chen felt the energy fluctuations within his body slowly weakening, as if suppressed by some force.
However, Luo Chen was not panicked; instead, he had the leisure to examine the appearance of the bright yellow figure opposite him.
Its appearance was very similar to a feline, but its entire body was covered in bright yellow scales. On its square head, two ears stood high, and on the inner side of the ears were crescent-shaped, sharp-looking curved horns.
Its limbs and body were very robust. It looked toward Luo Chen and Xiao Maoqiu from behind a few vigorous ancient trees, and only after the domain had enveloped the area for a while did it walk over unhurriedly.
Admiration flashed in Luo Chen's eyes. This beast did not give one the feeling of being graceful or beautiful, but rather a feeling of warmth, peace, and tranquility.
It was as if after seeing it, you would enter a State of sage-like clarity, filled with friendliness and peace.

While watching the [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast] walk toward him, Luo Chen silently calculated in his heart that the two beasts he had encountered in succession were both Auspicious Beasts.
It seemed this was likely a feature of this Tier 3 secret realm, though the races of the two beasts he had encountered were not related.
Moreover, judging by the Skills, this [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast] was much stronger than that [Seven-Colored Deer], and it even had two Domain Skills.
It was just that he didn't know how many kinds or how many of such beasts were in this secret realm. But even if there were no other Types, it didn't matter.
Luo Chen licked his lips; he quite liked this [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast], and it could completely become his third beast.
A deep, somewhat curious voice rang out, "Are you the legendary human?"
Luo Chen looked at the [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast] opposite him, his gaze full of surprise. This beast could actually speak human language at the King Rank?
But what the heck was "legendary human"? How long had it been since it was connected to the human world? Luo Chen complained inwardly.
Seeing that Luo Chen was slow to respond, a trace of confusion flashed across the [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast]'s face, and it tried speaking again, "You are the legendary human?"
Luo Chen widened his eyes involuntarily. What? He had seen a beast speak English? Could this beast be a transmigrator?
Fearing that the beast would try to communicate with him using another human language next, Luo Chen quickly responded in Chinese: "Yes, that's right, I am a human."
Seeing that Luo Chen had answered in authentic Chinese, the [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast] was clearly also secretly relieved.
"Human, how did you get in?"
Under the [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast]'s vigilant gaze, Luo Chen took two steps to Xiao Maoqiu's side, and then said, "Of course I came in through the door; didn't you see such a big light gate?"
"Light gate?" the [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast] muttered softly. It seemed the passage to the outside world had truly opened.
"Human, could you return this Seven-Colored Deer to me? I can use other items to exchange for it."
"Right now, my beast and I have our internal energy and Skills suppressed; you could very well just snatch it back yourself," Luo Chen said with a smile on his face.
Who would have thought that the [Xi Rui Regenerating Beast] shook its head, saying with a certain tone, "According to the intuition of our Auspicious Spirit Beast clan, I feel that the two of you do not seem to be suppressed at all."
