"I was angry because I thought you made this magic circle. I'm sorry."
Hearing the deer's childish thoughts, Philip's anger faded. He just smiled helplessly at it.
"In that case, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course. I'll tell you everything I know."
Philip was very happy with this answer. He went through so much effort just to get some information from the Nine-
Colored Deer.
"How much do you know about this ancient ruin?"
"Ancient ruin? What's an ancient ruin?"
Hearing this question, Philip suddenly did not know how to answer it. He did not expect that this little guy did not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteven know what an ancient ruin was and recklessly entered this place only to end up getting trapped by the magic
circle.
With no other choice, Philip could only change the question. "How long have you been trapped here?"
"About 300 years."
300 years?
This little guy has lived for 300 years?
What kind of divine beast is the Nine-Colored Deer?
X
It was still an infant after 300 years.
How many years would it take to fully mature?
Philip was surprised. He never imagined that this Nine-Colored Deer was trapped by this magic circle for 300 years.
"Have you seen other creatures in the ancient ruin? Humans or spirit beasts?"
The deer hesitated at this question. 300 years was a long time. It had to think.
After a while, the deer's voice rang in Philip's mind again.
"I remember that 100 years ago, a human came in. He wanted to save me too, but he wasn't as strong as you, so
he didn't succeed. After trying a few times, he gave up and continued his journey into the depths."
"Did he come out after that?"
The deer shook its head.
"I haven't seen that person again. If I'm not mistaken, he should be dead."
Philip expected this answer, but without seeing that person, no one knew what really happened. Although the Nine-
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmColored Deer said that the man was not as strong as him and failed to save it, Philip thought differently.
That person might not be weaker than him, but he did not use all his strength to rescue it.
If that were the case, the ensuing journey might be fraught with danger for Philip, enough to kill him. Although he
did not get the result he wanted, the clues provided by the Nine-Colored Deer were enough
for him.
"Now that you've been rescued, what are your plans?"
Hearing Philip's question, the deer was dumbfounded for a moment.
After being trapped by the magic circle for 300 years, the deer had lost all contact with the outside world and had
no idea what it should do if it went outside.
"I don't know what to do either. Why don't I follow you? I think you're quite strong, so following you is also a
good option."
Hearing this, Philip was a little surprised. Before this, he was thinking about how to get the deer to follow
him.
He did not expect the deer to be so cooperative and take the initiative instead.
