The moment Yang Lin saw the panel, he knew he had to name it again.
"Guo Shan Huang" was just a nickname given by the mountain folk, not its real name.
After a moment's thought, the words "Shan Jun" appeared in his mind.
"Does the host wish to name this species Shan Jun?"
"Yes!"
As Yang Lin confirmed, the name at the top of the panel changed from a question mark to Shan Jun.
"Due to the host successfully naming a new species, a reward of 50,000 achievement points is granted."
After completing the naming, Yang Lin's gaze shifted back to its last talent.
Including the Mountain God and Koi's good fortune from this time, there were now a total of three mystical talents, such as the "Spirit of the Weasel," which humans had arbitrarily imposed.
However, this time the Mountain God talent seemed more powerful.
"Five talent points to activate a legendary talent, that should be a good deal."
As soon as he spoke, Yang Lin's talent points decreased by five.
At the same time, a subtle, mysterious change began to occur within Shan Jun.
Vaguely, Yang Lin felt an inexplicable connection form between himself and Shan Jun.
Through Shan Jun's will, he could now sense the entire Shennongjia forest area, whereas before he could only perceive the mountains and forests within a five-hundred-kilometer radius.
He had a vague sense of where any animals were and where any special plants were, as if he had personally been there.
"Is that big mushroom over there a Ganoderma? Wonderful!"
Shan Jun's transformation was clearly not only felt by Yang Lin. The moment its talent awakened, the others present suddenly felt a pang of unease.
The Guo Shan Huang, which had previously seemed ferocious and terrifying, now appeared inexplicably majestic in their eyes.
However, they didn't pay it much mind, attributing it to a fleeting illusion.
The main reason was that most of their attention was still focused on Yang Lin.
After confirming Yang Lin was out of danger, their courage suddenly grew.
They slowly shuffled their way to Yang Lin's side.
Just as they were about to ask what was going on, a tiger's roar exploded in their ears.
Accompanied by a gust of wind, the majestic Shan Jun disappeared into the forest, leaving only a flurry of wind and snow.
Seeing this, they were all dumbfounded.
"No need to look, they're gone. Be careful, they might come back."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the others quickly averted their gazes.
As they withdrew their eyes, their peripheral vision caught sight of Bai Pi beside them.
Up to this point, they still hadn't figured out why this giant creature, resembling a snow monster, had appeared.
The only thing they could confirm was that this big snow monster seemed to harbor no ill will towards them.
The reactions of Teacher Xiao Liang and the others soon answered their question.
"It's okay now, Da Bai. You can go back."
"Yes, we're safe now, go home quickly."
"We'll see you again if there's a chance."
As Teacher Xiao Liang and the others waved goodbye, the snow monster turned and vanished into the snowstorm.
With that, the mountain forest fell silent once more, leaving only the seven members of the rescue team and the four members of Teacher Xiao Liang's group.
After repeatedly confirming that no more strange things would emerge, Li Changhai and the others could no longer hold back their questions.
"Director Yang, what exactly happened just now? Why did the Guo Shan Huang listen to you and not bite you?"
"Yes, has your name spread all the way to Shennongjia?"
This question was not only on the minds of the rescue team but also of Teacher Xiao Liang and the other three.
Facing their questions, Yang Lin simply spread out his right hand.
The next moment, several large, bloodied rotten teeth appeared in his palm.
Upon seeing these large rotten teeth, everyone immediately understood.
"So it came to you for a tooth extraction."
"So that's why. It seems animals can't escape the torment of illness and pain, and they know to seek human help."
"As expected of a legendary creature, its teeth are so large, it's perfectly reasonable that it could bite a wild boar to death."
"I heard that tiger teeth ward off evil. The teeth of the Guo Shan Huang should be even more potent, right?"
"Heh heh, Director Yang, could you give me a rotten tooth?"
"I want one too."
...
As they spoke, everyone's eyes collectively focused on the rotten teeth.
Yang Lin, however, merely chuckled at their requests.
Including the broken tooth he found earlier, he now had five. If he polished and processed them, they would make a fine necklace of tiger teeth.
He didn't know if it had the power to ward off evil, but he believed that wearing this necklace would deter ordinary wild beasts from approaching him, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants would be no problem.
He could even show it off to his descendants and brag.
After a round of jokes, they returned to the main topic.
"Alright, since Teacher Xiao Liang and the others are safe, we'll prepare to head back."
"Let's call to inform them first."
As they spoke, the rescue team reported the situation to the base camp below the mountain.
As soon as the news reached the mountain, everyone at the rescue camp below let out a long sigh of relief.
Soon after, this news was synchronized to the live broadcast of the "Into Science" program. When the netizens learned that Yang Lin had found Teacher Xiao Liang and the others, they were not surprised at all.
They were merely curious about what Yang Lin and Teacher Xiao Liang had encountered in Shennongjia.
Suddenly, everyone eagerly awaited Yang Lin and the others to descend the mountain and tell them about their experiences within Shennongjia in person.
However, just as everyone thought Yang Lin and the others would descend the mountain overnight, the wind and snow in the mountains grew even fiercer.
The mountain path, which had been barely passable, was completely covered, and several members of the team were nearly blown off the cliff by the wind and snow.
Seeing the severe weather conditions, Yang Lin immediately adjusted the plan.
"No, we can't continue descending in this situation. If we keep going, something will happen. We need to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow."
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly turned to the southeast, and then, under the confused gazes of everyone, he pointed in that direction.
"Go that way."
After walking about a thousand meters in the direction he indicated, a small house nestled in the mountains suddenly appeared before them.
Upon seeing the small house, they felt as if they had found a savior and quickly hurried towards it.
As they approached the small house, a sculpture they recognized appeared before them, none other than Shan Jun, who had just left.
While everyone looked on in surprise, the words "Shan Shen Miao" (Mountain God Temple) appeared on the lintel of the small house.
Seeing these words, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances.
