Chapter 1160: The Spirit Qi Sensitive Squirrel
Lin Yuan paused for a moment before saying, “Unfortunately, one trip through the Space Tunnel takes up too many spiritual ingredients, and I only have enough for one more return trip. There’s going to be another Astronomical Parliament in three days’ time, and I have to be back for that. Uncle Hu, you’ll have to shoulder all the work with these five Spirit Craftsmen for a while.”
Lin Yuan was slightly frustrated.
He could get used to the dizziness from traveling through the Space Tunnel, but the number of spiritual ingredients required for every trip had far surpassed his expectations.
Lin Yuan decided that one of his main goals while he was in the Divine Wood Federation, would be to collect spatial spiritual ingredients.
Otherwise, there was a chance that he would not be able to make it back for the weekly Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.
It was easy for those who had formed contracts with the north-south constellation seats to attend the parliamentary meeting as they were called to the Astronomical Parliament the moment they started dreaming at a set time.
However, the contractors of the 12 zodiac constellation seats needed to enter the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting with Wen Yu in order to activate Star Spirit Seat.
Hu Quan absentmindedly patted the walls and said enthusiastically, “Building the underground palace with only five of them will be slower, but as long as there are enough materials, it should only take us two weeks to create the basic structure of the underground palace. However, the sandstone has to be cleared out first. Without special feys to clear out the space, it will take us more than a day to clear out just 50 square meters.”
Lin Yuan chuckled and said, “That’s simple. Leave it to me. But first, we need to go up and take a look around.”
Lin Yuan nodded at Liu Jie.
Liu Jie summoned the Insect Queen and instructed it to go into a state of production.
The Insect Queen turned into an enormous hive, and 10 Hurricane Owlet Moths were quickly produced.
Liu Jie instructed the Insect Queen to turn into a small fairy.
Each of the ten Hurricane Owlet Moths grabbed a person and flapped their powerful wings to take the group up to the surface.
It was already deep into the night at the Radiance Federation, but it was only noon at the Divine Wood Federation, and the sun was beating down on them.
Lin Yuan was astonished by what he was seeing.
He was in the middle of a forest, and there were tall plants no matter where he looked.
There was a giant tree less than 10 meters beside Lin Yuan. It was almost 30 meters tall, and not even five men would be able to wrap their arms around it.
There were many of these giant trees, and the spaces in between them were filled with smaller trees and various other wild plants.
A small squirrel scampered toward them.
When it saw the group of people, it froze for a moment before running up to Lin Yuan and sniffing him.
It climbed up to Lin Yuan’s shoulder, and a ferocious roar bellowed from a distance.
A one-meter tall dog fey covered in long black and brown fur charged over.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the long-furred dog fey.
He saw that it was the Bronze IV/Normal Scab Spotted Dog, and its exclusive skill was Poison Scab.
[Poison Scab]: Contagious pus will ooze out when the scabs beneath the fur break. When a target is infected by coming into contact with the pus, the target’s skin will start to itch and decay.
The Scab Spotted Dog had a disgusting exclusive skill, and Lin Yuan shuddered to think of his skin being infected.
The Scab Spotted Dog started barking from the moment it caught sight of Lin Yuan as a form of intimidation.
However, the sight of so many people gave the Scab Spotted Dog pause.
But when it saw the squirrel on Lin Yuan’s shoulder, the Scab Spotted Dog snarled, and sputum flew from its jaw.
It looked like it was ready to attack.
Liu Jie pointed at the Hurricane Owlet Moth and instructed it to blow toward the Scab Spotted Dog.
The gust of wind blew the Scab Spotted Dog up to the sky.
Lin Yuan turned to the small squirrel on his shoulder.
In the past, Lin Yuan would not have bothered to use True Data on this unassuming squirrel.
However, there were different species of feys in the Divine Wood Federation.
He had never seen the squirrel and Scab Spotted Dog in the Radiance Federation before, so it was natural for him to be interested in them.
However, Lin Yuan could not find out anything about the squirrel.
This meant that the squirrel was not a fey at all.
Lin Yuan was surprised by this discovery.
How did it manage to escape the fleet-footed Scab Spotted Dog if this was true?
Lin Yuan carefully placed his hand on his shoulder to touch the small squirrel.
However, the small squirrel was immediately on high alert and did not allow Lin Yuan to touch it at all.
The squirrel seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with Lin Yuan on his body.
Just as Liu Jie was about to pluck the squirrel from Lin Yuan’s shoulder, Lin Yuan circulated his spiritual power and waved at it.
But at this moment, the squirrel suddenly became affectionate with Lin Yuan.
It leaped into his palm and started rolling around.
Lin Yuan only circulated his spirit qi for a second.
When the small squirrel could no longer sense the pure spirit qi flowing from Lin Yuan’s palm, it anxiously scurried in circles around his palm.
Its small eyes were full of confusion.
Lin Yuan was also brimming with confusion.
This little thing is so sensitive to spirit qi!
He had circulated spiritual power for such a short time. Even the Insect Queen that was usually sensitive to spirit qi had not noticed Lin Yuan circulating his spiritual power.
As he looked at the small squirrel’s affectionate behavior, Lin Yuan thought, Fine! Since you’re going to cling to me, I shall just keep you with me!
Lin Yuan decided to find time to study the squirrel and see if it had any special characteristics.
He injected a small amount of spirit qi into the squirrel to see if it would transform into a fey like Chimey and Genius did.
