————————————————————————————————————————————————

In the magical world of “Classic of Mountains and Seas”, there are all kinds of wondrous creatures—
Dogs with beautiful fur, all over red, monkeys with white heads and red palms, mice with white mouths and white ears that bark like dogs—when encountered, you should know that war is imminent!
when you encountered snakes with two pairs of wings, snakes with one head and two bodies, snakes with red heads and white bodies that moo like cows... (Why are they all snakes?) Sigh, it seems that a drought is also about to occur!
If you want to catch good luck, then go find Dangkang and Jiao! Dangkang is a little pig that can call its own name "Dangkang", and Jiao is a small dog with ox horns and leopard spots, both of which are creatures symbolizing a bountiful harvest.
If you want to possess superpowers, try your luck to find the Bo Yi, which looks like a sheep, has a pair of sheep horns, four ears, nine tails, and its eyes are on its back. Legend has it that if one can use its fur, they will gain courage and fear nothing!
...
In the "Exotic Beasts Part", we will meet all kinds of magical creatures in the fantastical world of mountains and seas. While our imagination roams in this fantastical world, readers will find that perhaps mythical creatures are the animals around us, evolving from ancient times to the present, reflecting human understanding of the world and nature. However, what remains eternally unchanged is the curiosity and imagination that only humans possess.
