Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

"Is that the Tiantong Sect Leader who destroyed an imperial fleet in the Magic City? He is so young!!"

"Although he was young, strangely, I didn't doubt the authenticity of his identity. It was as if this incredible thing was normal for him to happen."

"I had this feeling too. I couldn't look him in the eye. It was like a blade was scraping me. I couldn't help but want to lower my head."

Several Japanese students were talking in low voices. Japan had been eyeing China for a long time, and many of its students had taken part-time courses in the Chinese language, so they could understand some of what they heard.

Several students discussed the matter and decided to report it to their superiors.

On the other side, Zhang Zhiwei Newt and his party, riding a giant petrel, approached the crater of South Iwo Jima. When they arrived here, hot air was gushing out, and the petrel felt uncomfortable, so it was not willing to go any further.

Newt didn't force them, he put them down, put them into his surprisingly spacious suitcase, and chose to go up the mountain by himself.

"What are you doing on the crater?" Zhang Zhiwei asked Newt.

"I want to find a magical creature that lives in a volcano, which is why I came to the magic house." Newt said.

"What kind of creatures can live in a volcano?" Zhang Zhiwei asked curiously. He had not done much research on these rare and exotic animals.

"It's a beautiful creature from legend, called the magma fox. It hasn't appeared for many years and everyone thought it was extinct. But recently, some students from the Institute of Magic observed traces of activity suspected to be that of this creature in the crater, so I came here."

Newt said as he walked: "However, this creature lives in volcanoes and wanders in the magma. It is very difficult to find their traces. I have been here for many days and have found nothing."

"But not long ago, after Isaac knew I was here, he contacted me and asked me to do a small favor. He even said that maybe you could help me find that creature."

"I was skeptical at first and didn't know how to bring this up with you, but after knowing your identity, I think Isaac is right and you have the ability to help me."

Zhang Zhiwei did not refuse Newt's request. He helped himself and he helped him. This was fair.

At this time, Lu Jin couldn't help but say, "Now that you know Brother Zhang's identity, you seem very calm. Isn't it a taboo for you to attack ordinary people?"

Newt glanced at Lu Jin and said, "We are in different places. You are not wizards, so you cannot use the laws of the Wizarding Federation to make decisions. Besides, I am not from the Ministry of Magic."

"What's more, you destroyed the fleet of another country on your own territory. Even the most ignorant people know what it means when a fleet of another country enters your country without restraint."

"To be honest, Zhang, although I don't know you, I admire you very much. Not only your strength, but your courage to go against an entire country is enough to be admired. Of course, maybe with your status, you don't need my praise, but this is the fact."

Zhang Zhiwei said: "This is nothing. If you were in my position, you would do the same."

Newt hesitated for a moment and did not respond. It didn't happen, so it was meaningless to imagine it any further.

Zhang Zhiwei changed the subject and said, "By the way, why do you want to find those...magical animals?"

Newt smiled and said, "Because I like getting along with animals, and being with them brings me a kind of inner peace, so I decided to protect these magical animals."

“My goal is to research and document the amazing animals around the world and write a comprehensive guide to them so people can understand and respect these creatures.”

"Oh, right, the ancients in your Shenzhou also did something similar. They compiled a book called 'Classic of Mountains and Seas', which records quite a lot of magical creatures. But after so many years, many creatures have disappeared, so I plan to rewrite and improve it. I plan to name this guide 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "That's a very good ideal. Your life will definitely be very interesting."

Newt smiled, "I just hope these magical animals are as worthy of respect and protection as humans."

Hearing Newt talking about the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Tian Jinzhong asked curiously, "Mr. Newt, how many magical creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas have you seen?"

"There are quite a few..." Newt said, "I once saw a magical animal that looked like a tiger, colorful, with a tail longer than its body. It moves very quickly and can change its color at will, and change its size according to the size of the space."

"I have never seen this kind of animal before. I was thinking about what name to give it, but I found out that it actually had a name thousands of years ago. It was called Zouwu, and it was first mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Northern Classic of the Sea."

"In addition, I have also seen the Jiliang horse in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with a snow-white body, flaming red mane, and eyes shining with golden light."

"I've also seen a divine horse that looks like a fox with horns on its back. It's called Chenghuang..."

Newt introduced to Tian Jinzhong what he had seen and heard, and Tian Jinzhong listened carefully. This was completely different from his senior brother's experience. It was another kind of wonderful experience. Including Zhang Zhiwei, everyone listened very carefully.

"Have you collected all these magical animals?" Tian Jinzhong asked.

“I haven’t collected all of them.” Newt said, “If their living environment is good and there is no crisis, I won’t destroy their living environment. But if their living environment is destroyed, there will be a crisis!”

Newt patted the suitcase and said, "I will put them in the suitcase and create a special environment for them that is very suitable for them to live in."

"Created a special environment?" Tian Jinzhong asked in surprise, "How did you create it?"

Newt said: "My suitcase has been transformed by magic, and the internal space has been expanded a lot, forming a miniature ecosystem suitable for the lives of magical animals. It contains multiple habitats such as deserts, forests, swamps, etc., providing a suitable environment for different animals. At the same time, this is also my mobile base."

"Rather than magical animals, I think your suitcase is the most magical." Lu Ci said, "Did you make it yourself?"

"It is indeed magical. It was not created by me alone. It is the result of the joint efforts of many powerful wizards, Isaac being one of them." Newt said.

As they were talking, they came to the crater. Below was a huge black hole that emitted a fiery breath. Newt took a telescope and looked down into the crater. He could see a red lava river surging in the depths, but other than that, he could not see any signs of biological activity inside.

"According to eyewitnesses, the lava fox should be down there, but I've been observing it for several days and haven't found any signs of its activity. I don't know whether it's lurking in there or has moved somewhere else," Newt said.

"Can you use magic to find it?" Lu Jin asked curiously.

While they were talking, Tian Jinzhong used a talisman of heaven and earth vision and hearing to greatly enhance his own perception. His consciousness looked down below, but the magma mouth seemed to be a Qi bureau, blocking all investigations.

Newt also said: "Magic is not omnipotent. The energy emitted by the earth veins and magma blocked my exploration. I can't find their traces."

"It looks a bit strange, and it's hard to describe. I'd better catch it and show it to you."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei's mind moved, and he performed the Human Pan Eight Gates Moving Technique. A black hole suddenly opened in the underground magma river, sucking in the strange beast that was swimming inside.

At the location of the crater, a black hole opened up, spewing out a giant beast covered in burning magma. The beast had a fox's pointed snout and dragon's horns, and had twelve tails with long tail flames that spread out in a fan shape behind it like a peacock spreading its tail.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“Lava fox? No, that’s not right. This is not a fox. This is… this is…” Newt seemed to recognize the true origin of this magical animal and spoke incoherently with excitement.

Suddenly being caught from the magma into the crater, the "magma fox" was frightened and let out a sharp roar. It opened its mouth wide and spewed flames in all directions like a shower, launching an indiscriminate attack.

Newt was startled and quickly waved his staff and cast spells to resist. Tian Jinzhong also stretched out the golden light spell, forming a wall of light to block the front.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his hand, and golden light spit out from his palm, turning into a big hand, which grabbed the flaming beast and pressed it to the ground, unable to move.

“Roar, roar, roar…”

The "Fire Fox" struggled and screamed, its limbs digging deep grooves in the ground, and a large amount of flames came out of its mouth and nose, burning a large charred mark on the ground.

It tried its best, but to no avail. Zhang Zhiwei's golden palm pressed it firmly to the ground like a mountain, and it couldn't cause any trouble.

"Stop, Zhang, don't do this to it!" Newt shouted hurriedly. The cry of the lava fox made him heartbroken.

Zhang Zhiwei let go of his hand, and the "magma fox" jumped up suddenly. Its face was full of anger, red light focused in its mouth, and a large amount of flames was about to spew out.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhiwei glanced at it sideways, and the "magma fox" suddenly paused, and then swallowed the fire that was about to spit out.

Because it had attacked with hatred just now, the amount of flame it exhaled was quite large. It choked directly after swallowing it in one breath. Its pair of somewhat ferocious eyes immediately widened into a round shape, looking extremely funny.

“Cough cough cough!”

It started coughing violently, and its mouth coughed out large amounts of black smoke like a chimney, but it didn't care about the discomfort and landed on the ground, bent its limbs, crawled on the ground, its twelve tails wagging back and forth, and looked at Zhang Zhiwei with a docile face.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwei was unmoved, it even turned over, like a kitten, and exposed its scaleless belly to Zhang Zhiwei.

“…………”

Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief. How could the bull, who was so imposing and holding fire in his mouth just now and was about to spit fire in all directions, suddenly turn into a trembling kitten?

Zhang Zhiwei leaned over and reached out to touch the belly of the "Magma Fox". The "Magma Fox" squinted its eyes comfortably and made a squeaking sound, just like a fox.

This contrast was somewhat unexpected for them.

"I finally know why he is called Magma Fox!" Tian Jinzhong exclaimed.

Newt saw this contrasting scene and said in disbelief: "This magical creature is known for its ferocity, how can it be so docile?!"

"Known for brutality? What does that mean?" Tian Jinzhong asked.

Newt said: "We call it the magma fox over there, but in Japan, it is called the Nue, and its image was first seen in the Kojiki. Its appearance combines the characteristics of many animals, such as a raccoon body, tiger legs, and a snake tail. It is an evil beast that wreaks havoc on the world and brings disaster."

"Of course, this evil is relative. They just live in the magma. When they move, they make the magma more active, which may cause volcanic eruptions. But for the humans living around them, it is a disaster."

"Of course, they have lived in magma for many years and have absorbed a lot of fire energy, so their tempers are not very good."

Newt looked at the lava fox rolling under Zhang Zhiwei's feet with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Something like this... I really can't understand it."

"What's so hard to understand about this?" Lu Ci said with a smile, "It's just the instinct of living things to seek benefits and avoid harm. It is indeed very fierce, but who can blame it for having a being thousands of times more fierce than it in front of it?"

"Thousands of times more ferocious..." Newt looked at Zhang Zhiwei and thought of his feat of destroying the Japanese Navy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was thousands of times more ferocious than the Magma Fox.

"This little thing is quite unique and looks easy to raise. Newt, do you want to put it in your suitcase?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Newt shook his head and said, "Forget it. They live well here and don't have any deadly natural enemies. Besides, it's quite troublesome to create a magma environment in a suitcase."

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the volcano next to him and said, "Living in magma is really... pretty good. Besides, there is more than one here."

"But, Newt, don't you think that this volcano is too small for them to survive and reproduce?"

"Zhang, what do you mean?" Newt asked.

"We can find them a bigger habitat!" said Zhang Zhiwei.
