Chapter 68 Devil Squirrel
"It's alright, I'll be careful. Let's hurry and look for it. I remember there should be a kind of magical beast called the Devil Squirrel around here. This magical beast has relatively weak attack power, but it can create illusions to buy time and give itself more time to escape." Johnson carefully examined the surrounding trees as he walked.

Mo Qianxun followed behind him when suddenly she saw a black figure flash past a large tree.

"What does this devil squirrel look like?"

"They have black fur and look similar to other squirrels. Some magicians also like to keep magical beasts, and devil squirrels are one of their favorite magical beast pets. During their growth, devil squirrels produce a black crystal, which is also a material that can be used to make weapons with illusion-creating effects, or a large number of crystals can be used to create an illusion." Johnson said, taking a black crystal out of his pocket and handing it to Mo Qianxun. "That's it."

Mo Qianxun examined the crystal carefully. It looked similar to a black gemstone, but this crystal was noticeably more transparent. It was truly unexpected that such an ordinary-looking crystal could have such a magical effect.

After memorizing the crystal's appearance, Mo Qianxun returned it to Johnson: "I just saw a dark shadow flash by on that big tree. I wonder if it was the Devil Squirrel."

“It’s very possible. It’s currently the cold season in the far north forest, and in theory, devil squirrels should be hibernating in tree holes. However, it’s also possible that some devil squirrels that don’t have enough food will come out to look for food.” Johnson walked in the direction Mo Qianxun pointed.

Reaching the base of the large tree, Johnson placed one hand on the trunk and chanted a spell. A green light emanated from his hand, gradually enveloping the entire tree. After a moment, the green light disappeared, and Johnson opened his eyes.

"We were lucky; there just happened to be a devil squirrel living in a hole in this big tree."

"Ah, just one."

"One is already quite good. Under normal circumstances, there will be one squirrel in the tree hole during the cold season. Only in very special circumstances will there be more."

"So how do we get the squirrel out?"

Johnson chuckled, then leaped onto a branch of a large tree. Looking at the tree hole covered in weeds, a green vine suddenly appeared in his hand. After clearing away the weeds, the vine went straight inside, and soon a black squirrel was pulled out by it.

The black squirrel had a sapphire-like object on its forehead. The object flashed, and Johnson's expression changed instantly. The next second, he used his other hand to knock the squirrel unconscious.

Devil Squirrel: You're so high and mighty.

Teng Man handed the squirrel to Mo Qianxun. Mo Qianxun checked the squirrel's condition and confirmed that it had simply fainted before throwing it into the secret realm.

Johnson took all the food out of the tree hole and threw it to Mo Qianxun.

"Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise we would all have been trapped in the illusion." Johnson patted his chest, still shaken by the experience.

"what?"

"The crystal on the Devil Squirrel's forehead is the source of its power. When the crystal lights up, it triggers the Devil Squirrel's illusion skill. We were just a little bit short just now."

After hearing his explanation, Mo Qianxun realized what she had almost faced and felt a little scared. She was just an ordinary person, and who knows what would have happened if she had really fallen into the illusion.

“A male isn’t enough; we also need a female to make a complete family.” Johnson nodded: “Okay, let’s look again.”

The two walked on the snow, their steps uneven, and looking at the thick snow on the ground, Mo Qianxun thought of the stream: "It's winter, so why isn't the stream frozen?"

"Because there is a kind of fish in that stream called the Flame Fish. Although it is a fish that lives in water, it can breathe fire and its body temperature is very high. So it often appears in some colder waters, so it naturally won't freeze."

Mo Qianxun nodded, "So that's how it is."

"008, can I keep those transparent fish in the spiritual spring water?"

[Sure, I just checked. That transparent fish is quite good. If you keep it in the spiritual spring water, it might evolve unexpectedly.]

Mo Qianxun nodded silently. As long as they could be put in there to raise, it would be fine. She wouldn't need to dig a separate small pond, which would save her effort.

Mo Qianxun and Johnson were searching for the Devil Squirrel in the woods. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mo Qianxun suddenly heard a very faint sound, which sounded like the cry of a baby squirrel.

Johnson paused for two seconds upon hearing the sound, then walked in one direction. When the two reached a clump of grass, Johnson carefully parted the dry grass and saw two snow-white balls appear in their sight.

They were two white tiger cubs, but their black stripes were rather faint, and they looked like they were on the verge of death.

Johnson stepped forward, picked up a white tiger cub, examined its body, and said with a grim expression, "It's a mutated white tiger, what a pity."

Mo Qianxun picked up the other white tiger. Looking at the white tiger in her arms, so weak that it seemed it might die at any moment, she felt a little sorry for it: "What happened to the mutated white tiger?"

"Sigh, mutated magical beasts are very weak in their cub stage and need a lot of food to replenish their energy. The only food for the cubs is the mother's milk. For a cub with such high needs that it may die at any time, the mothers will naturally focus on the healthy cubs that are not mutated. So these mutated cubs will be abandoned. I guess these two are probably for the same reason." Johnson sighed while holding the cubs.

Looking at the little white tiger whimpering softly in her arms, Mo Qianxun paused for two seconds and said, "In that case, I'll take care of it. Our world lacks everything except food."

Johnson looked at Mo Qianxun with some surprise: "But even if you raise them, mutated magical beasts may not necessarily have great power."

"It's okay. Even if they grow up to be ordinary white tigers, it's still fine. They are two young lives after all." If they grow up to be ordinary white tigers, they will be very popular in zoos.

Johnson looked at Mo Qianxun's determined eyes, sighed, and handed her the white tiger in his arms: "Meeting you should be their greatest fortune."

Years later, Mo Qianxun looked at the two white tigers that had grown up with great satisfaction. Meeting them was my greatest fortune.
