There is a beast in the bright morning.

Not far from the Deer Man's shop, in a secluded spot, few beasts usually come here.

However, there was a newly excavated cave with claw marks at the entrance that looked very fresh, and the entrance was deliberately covered with branches.

At this moment, a black figure crept over furtively, glancing around from time to time as if to make sure it wasn't being followed.

"Phew, hiding these treasures is no easy feat! My darlings, here I come!"

Hao Chen, carrying a backpack, stood at the entrance of the cave and couldn't help but sigh. This was a place he had built specifically to hide his treasures.

Hao Chen then moved aside the branches used to conceal the cave entrance and entered the cave. He found that the cave was larger than he had imagined, with more than ten rooms, each with a different purpose.

Hao Chen imagined how shocked the Qilin would be if it saw his collection. Just thinking about it, Hao Chen could picture it in his mind: "The Qilin might even try to steal my treasures."

Hao Chen first entered the first room, where he saw that it was filled with all kinds of plush toys, most of which were the fur of the four-legged creatures that Hao Chen had collected from the Deer Man Shop.

Once he has collected a certain number of them, Haochen will turn them into plush toys in the image of their respective owners.

On the shelves in the room were plush toys of Tianlu, Qilin, Rabbit God, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, Totoro, and Diting.

Among them, Tianlu was the most numerous, with more than ten. There was no way around it; Haochen slept with Tianlu every day, so Tianlu's fur was the easiest for him to obtain.

There are fewer plush toys in the shape of the Qilin (a mythical creature resembling a mythical beast), only five in total, but these were all made by Haochen by repeatedly stroking the tail fur of the Qilin. Thinking back, he even got kicked by the Qilin several times because he stroked its tail too hard.

Adding to the fact that Rabbit God was also fighting with him for the fur of the four-legged creature, Hao Chen felt it was already very difficult for him to have all of this. Thinking about it made Hao Chen feel sad.

There was only one pair of golden-horned and silver-horned ones, since they were too small and naturally didn't get much fur.

The reason there are only two Totoro cats is because they don't live in the Deer Man's shop, which reduces Hao Chen's chances of getting them.

There are two plush toys of Di Ting. This is thanks to the fact that Di Ting was losing a lot of hair a while ago and came to the deer store for treatment. Hao Chen took the opportunity to give Di Ting a good rub.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Di Ting has stopped having hair loss problems since using the Bai Ze pillow. Also, Di Ting has been coming to the Deer Man Shop too infrequently. I wonder when we'll be able to collect the third Di Ting plush toy."

Hao Chen shook his head, then came to a huge table. This was Hao Chen's workbench, on which were placed the fur of the Treasure-Spitting Rat and Bai Ze.

However, there aren't many of them. The Treasure-Spitting Rat is restricted from visiting Tianlu by the Four-Faced Beast, and can only come twice a month. In addition, the Treasure-Spitting Rat recently established a Treasure-Spitting Group, so it comes even less often. Therefore, Haochen hasn't managed to collect a single Treasure-Spitting Rat plush toy yet.

Bai Ze's fur was obtained during his last trip to the underworld. Later, Hao Chen even called Bai Ze to invite him to the Deer Man's shop so that he could get more of Bai Ze's fur.

However, Bai Ze seemed to have sensed something and did not accept Hao Chen's invitation, which meant that Hao Chen didn't have enough Bai Ze fur to make a plush toy in Bai Ze's image.

"If all else fails, we'll just go and ambush Bai Ze next time. I refuse to believe we can't get enough Bai Ze fur."

Unfortunately, the Qilin didn't know Hao Chen's thoughts, otherwise it would probably have laughed at him, because if Hao Chen wanted Bai Ze's fur, he could have used the Bai Ze pillow that Bai Ze had left at the deer man's shop, which was full of genuine Bai Ze fur.

Hao Chen opened the backpack behind him and took out a ball of red fur, placing it on the table: "With so much Taotie fur, we can probably make a Taotie plush toy after collecting just one more batch."

"It's a pity I can't get any of Chaos's fur. Otherwise, I could get some Qiongqi and Taotie's fur and complete my collection of the Four Fiends' plush toys."

Then Hao Chen took out Ying Zhao's fur from his backpack: "Ying Zhao is really helpful. She contributed so much fur at once. We could make a plush toy with it."

What Hao Chen didn't know was that the four-legged creature was looking at the bald Ying Zhao, who was still sleeping on the bed, and angrily said, "Damn it, I was only gone for a while, and who plucked all of Ying Zhao's fur? That's too much! Don't let me find out who it was."

Hao Chen took another satisfied look at his work, but then sighed, "Sigh, there's still a long way to go before I can collect all the fluffy creatures in the encyclopedia."

"I wonder when I'll be able to collect the fur of the Evil-repelling Beast, the War Tiger, the Phoenix, the Phoenix, the Walnut, the Oleander, the Sichuan Pepper, the Qilin, and other cute creatures to make plush toys."

Afterwards, Hao Chen left the room and came to another room. In this room, there were jade boxes on the shelves, containing precious immortal herbs that he had collected (robbed) from the Caiyun Mountains.

He took out several spiritual roots obtained from Taotie from his backpack, carefully sealed them in a jade box, and placed them on the shelf: "Not bad, my efficiency is quite high. I have collected so many in such a short time. The animals in the Caiyun Mountains are really hardworking."

(An animal from the Colorful Clouds Mountain Range: "Bah! Shameless scoundrel! He stole my treasure and even has the audacity to call it protection money!")

At this moment, Hao Chen suddenly thought of the Flower Bud Bird: "Speaking of the Flower Bud Bird, he is a famous doctor in the Rainbow Cloud Mountains, and may even be famous in the world of Beasts. I wonder what treasures he has. I really want to 'borrow' some from him."

However, as soon as the idea came to mind, Hao Chen shook his head and dismissed it. There's a saying that you shouldn't mess with doctors, because you never know when you might need them.

"Hmm, forget about the Flower Bud Bird. I'll find some other animals in the Rainbow Cloud Mountains to chat with when I have time. It's been so many days, there should be something else I can borrow."

The next moment, Hao Chen came to another room, where some miscellaneous items were placed. Hao Chen took out a rubber band from his backpack and placed it neatly on a shelf.

"Speaking of which, this should be Ao Bing's dragon tendon, right?"

The thought that he had traded a year's worth of woody smartweed for the dragon tendon from Maolong and the others made Haochen feel like he had made a good deal.

"We'll hold an online auction using this dragon tendon and invite Nezha and the East Sea Dragon Clan. I'm sure they won't mind buying it at a high price."

Thinking of this, Hao Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if he could see himself spending money like water.

Afterwards, Hao Chen visited his fur room, which was filled with animals from the Caiyun Mountains that were poor, disobedient, and always dreamed of dominating the Caiyun Mountains.

Looking at the mountain of furs inside, Hao Chen suddenly thought that his actions were somewhat similar to those of Di Ting's little skull: "If there's a chance, I'll cooperate with the little skull and sell these furs directly to it."

After visiting the fur room, Haochen came to a room filled with clay. There were some clay works in the room, but they seemed to be failed products and were thrown in a corner.

Looking at the pile of failed attempts, Hao Chen sighed: "As expected, I have no talent for this. I wonder which mythical beast is good at making clay figurines."

Hao Chen originally planned to make some ceramic works based on the images of Tianlu, Qixiang, and Tuye. He had even thought of names: the Tianlu series would be called "Fortune and Prosperity Descend from Heaven," and the Qixiang series would be called "Peace and Prosperity Across the Four Seas."

Unfortunately, the plan was rejected by Haochen before it could even be implemented, because the finished product was far from what he had envisioned.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. We've been talking about this for a while now, it's time to go back. I think the Four-Faced Beast mentioned taking us on a trip today, we shouldn't miss it."

Because the Flower Bird said that keeping Yingzhao in a good mood would help with her recovery, the Four-Faced Beast planned to take everyone from the Deer Man Shop to the beach for a vacation to relax.

After putting away the things he brought in his backpack, Hao Chen planned to leave and return to the Deer Man Shop to prepare for his upcoming beach trip.

As for the innermost room in the cave, Hao Chen had no intention of going there. It contained his most precious collection, the thought of which made him blush. It was comparable to Rabbit Lord's mysterious collection of four different creatures.
