The mountain forest here was lush and teeming with wild animals, making Bai Zhe initially believe it was a remote wilderness. But now, that seemed untrue.
He carefully examined the four women nearby.
All were around twenty years old, casually dressed with just hiking backpacks, not serious climbers, probably just out for a day hike.
More importantly, their features resembled East Asians from Blue Planet, which gave Bai Zhe an immediate sense of kinship.
He felt a strong urge to communicate with them. Though now a snake, his soul retained human thoughts.
Having lived alone in the mountains for so long, meeting humans—especially with the same East Asian face as in his past life—made him want to reach out.
But he suppressed this impulse, knowing that rushing out like a snake would scare them and that he couldn't communicate anyway.
"Ding, target locked: human, mammal, primate. Each individual provides 3,000 Evolution Points upon devouring."
Hearing this system voice in his mind left Bai Zhe speechless. He had no intention of eating humans.
Besides, he was far too small to attempt it.
"Phew... Little Meng, have you seen anything like this before?"
Chen Mengjie, finally recovered from her shock, curiously looked at Bai Zhe and the squirrel above him, then asked Meng Ning.
Zhang Yun and Song Ran also stared at Meng Ning with curiosity.
Meng Ning smiled bitterly and shook her head—she'd never seen anything like this either.
Her prior knowledge told her snakes ate squirrels, not lived with them. Usually, squirrels fled as soon as they spotted a snake.
"Sister Yun, Ranran, Little Meng, this trip wasn't in vain—we witnessed a rare sight."
Chen Mengjie's expression brightened.
Snakes and squirrels living together so harmoniously was almost unheard of in nature.
Song Ran, Meng Ning, and Zhang Yun all nodded.
Realizing they'd forgotten to take photos earlier, Song Ran and Meng Ning quickly took out their phones and began filming.
Chen Mengjie then suddenly patted her forehead and lifted her selfie stick.
Checking the live chat, She saw chaos—viewers frantically asking about her safety.
"Thanks for your concern—Mengjie is fine!"
She smiled sweetly, then said, "Here's something interesting. Warning: please stay seated or standing firmly—don't get scared and fall."
The chat filled with question marks.
Without teasing further, Chen Mengjie pointed the camera at Bai Zhe and the squirrel atop his head.
The chat went silent, then flooded with messages.
"Oh my god, snake and squirrel living together? I learned something new today."
"That squirrel's really brave, hugging the snake's head like that."
"Haha, they both look so funny, see their expressions? So clueless looking at the camera."
"So cute—they look like a little couple. The squirrel hugging the snake has serious girlfriend vibes."
"The snake's probably cursing, 'Who are these two-legged sheep interrupting our midday fun?'"
"I bet that squirrel's just the snake's reserved snack."
"..."
The rare scene drove the chat wild, with some fans furiously spamming messages and others sending gifts.
The phone screen quickly filled with gift animations, obscuring the chat completely.
One generous fan even sent a Green Bamboo—the platform's top gift that triggers a homepage animation attracting random viewers.
Curious new viewers clicked and were overwhelmed by the chat and gift chaos, only seeing Bai Zhe and the squirrel after dismissing the barrage.
Naturally, they were shocked to see such an unusual pair.
The live stream audience skyrocketed from just over 10,000 to 50,000 viewers.
Chen Mengjie herself would be startled by this record, as her peak concurrent viewers before never exceeded 40,000.
Thanks to Bai Zhe, her stream hit a new high, attracting many new followers as well.
