I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 366

Chapter 366: I Secretly Hid Building Blocks in Front of You

Together with Xiao Mo, we organized and sorted out all the various things and snacks we bought in the small county town.

After exploring a few interesting small shops, we left the town and headed to the lake nearby where we had been before.

Although this small county town gave me a feeling of “being abroad” due to its considerable distance from Shenzhen City, it was also very fresh.

However, at the same time, its limitations were quite significant. It was small, and most people couldn’t speak Mandarin.

Except for small shops like the photo studio and snack stalls that often catered to guests, most people didn’t speak Mandarin very well. For example, I couldn’t understand what the elderly people by the roadside were saying when they were playing chess.

I suspect that if the photo studio we visited today wasn’t run by the daughter of the owners, communication might have been a problem.

“Here.”

Sitting on Xiao Mo’s flying magic array as we quickly left the small county town and returned to the vicinity of the lake, Xiao Mo was the first to jump down from the magic array, holding a scythe in her hand.

“About fifty meters below, there’s a large cave, connecting to an underground river, and… a geothermal hot spring.”

Despite the language barrier, Xiao Mo and I encountered some difficulties while traveling nearby. However, the sparse population here also had its advantages.

We could use magic without worrying about anything. Xiao Mo had just summoned “Mobius Circle” not far from the county town, completely unconcerned about being seen by anyone.

Shenzhen City has been heavily promoting “digitalization of the city” recently, and the newly established Mianyun District intends to invest heavily in “digital twins” to achieve city-wide monitoring and digital AI operation.

Any changes in the city will be intuitively reflected on large screens. However, this edge-of-the-world small county town didn’t even have a surveillance camera. As Xiao Mo and I walked along, we even noticed that many places were still burning wood for heating.

It is said that in the coldest winter here, the temperature can drop to more than thirty degrees below zero, and many small county towns do not have heating.

They rely entirely on physical resilience. Families with conditions prepare a lot of firewood, and when the temperature drops, they light a pile of fire in their living room or in front of their house to cope.

“Should we just split the road open from here?”

Following beside Xiao Mo, holding the super-large luggage bag for her, I was somewhat uncertain as I asked, “Will this cause the nearby road to collapse?”

Even if Xiao Mo didn’t say anything, at this moment, I could confirm that there was no one around paying attention to us.

To be precise, there wasn’t anyone at all.

The visibility here was very broad, which was obvious at a glance.

Moreover… today wasn’t a traditional holiday, and no one was coming over to play at this time. People in the county town were busy with their own affairs, and within a radius of several kilometers, there was really no one to be seen.

The only thing I was concerned about was why Xiao Mo wanted to take me down there to play.

Logically speaking, the Earth is so vast that there should be countless similar underground rivers.

Xiao Mo is a split-off from “Momo,” and theoretically, she also possesses a certain “divinity.” There must be her own reasons for doing this.

Speaking of which, I realized a long time ago that comparing the “Xiao Mo” in front of me to a “split-off” seems inaccurate. Xiao Mo has lived for more than six thousand years in the traditional sense, but Fei Luo, Gabriel, and the others mentioned that Xiao Mo has a kind of magic that can control time, and she has applied this magic to practice mana.

In other words, this girl’s mental age is already very old. Living for a hundred years on Earth will make one’s mentality very mature. If no measures are taken, Xiao Mo, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, wouldn’t be as energetic as she is now.

I feel that the Xiao Mo in front of me is like a super demon who has given away most of her experience, divinity, and most of her “maturity” to the “main body,” and is using this to counteract the “wear and tear of the mind.”

This seems to be a very precise and effective method.

When a person has seen a lot, they tend to lose interest in everything in the world, becoming cold-blooded. Xiao Mo probably achieved her “rebirth” by fixing these experiences and memories as the concept of the “Grim Reaper” in the Earth universe, and then telling me that she is just a split-off.

“It might, but it doesn’t matter.”

In response to my question, Xiao Mo looked around and said, “In the future, when someone passes by here, they will only think that this is a natural collapse, and the underground hot river that has sunk will become a tourist attraction nearby, bringing some development opportunities to the local area.”

“Nuo’er, use your Mobius Circle to rise a bit higher,” she continued.

“Okay.”

I didn’t ask much about these kinds of things and subconsciously used the magic I had recently become proficient in. I summoned a patch of cat-ear clover beneath me and controlled it to float into the air.

“In the past, we were once besieged by the Demon King’s army and forced to retreat to vast plains like this,” Xiao Mo said as she floated halfway up into the air, waving the scythe in her hand.

“The sky there wasn’t as blue as it is here. It was purple, black, with traces of red drifting, caused by the excessive overflow of demonic energy.”

Even though I wasn’t sensitive to magic, I could clearly feel the scythe in Xiao Mo’s hand gathering energy frantically and emitting a strong purple light. A large amount of lightning power was gathering.

“Sizzle… BOOM!”

At that moment, the previously clear sky suddenly became dark.

Heavy dark clouds floated overhead, and we could see bright electric arcs flashing inside the clouds.

My goodness…

The sudden change in the sky above left me somewhat dumbfounded.

Is this Xiao Mo’s power?

With just a casual movement… she’s changing the weather?

“At that time, our hearts were filled with despair, thinking we had reached a dead end,” Xiao Mo said, raising the scythe high in the air. Her deep black eyes lit up like lightning.

A flame composed of blue lightning formed in her left eye.

“Rumble rumble rumble…”

The thunderstorm overhead grew increasingly terrifying, with clear thunder reverberating. A large amount of static electricity caused the fur on my cat ears and the tail to stand on end.

The previously bright day quickly dimmed.

“BOOM!”

Countless lightning bolts struck down, some directly hitting the ground, others landing on hilltops, leaving behind ash.

“Rumble…”

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Xiao Mo raised the scythe high with one hand. Facing the mountainside below us, she swung at an invisible speed.

“Sizzle…”

At that moment, it felt as if the entire world quieted down. The space cleaved by Xiao Mo’s scythe formed a peculiar void-like deep purple rift, emanating a strong magical fluctuation.

“Boom!”

After a brief silence, the small hill beneath us experienced a violent explosion, and another crack extended in all directions from the center of the hill.

With a casual swing of the scythe, Xiao Mo tossed it into the nearby void space.

From the mountainside cleaved by the scythe, a smell of sulfur emerged. There, a massive underground space and a hot spring-fed river were visible.

“Done.”

As the world gradually calmed down, Xiao Mo landed by my side.

“Let’s go.”

“……”
