Chapter 24: The Misty Fishing Village

The snow fell even harder. The howling wind swept away the summer's warmth; the snowflakes gently floated down, merging into the monsters' bodies, causing their forms to swell dramatically.

Their eyes glowed crimson; the power within them raged uncontrollably, their tempers escalating, their reason teetering on the brink. They vented their rage on the monsters around them, tearing and biting.

Roars echoed through the sky.

Mu Miao was surrounded by players, like a little kitten that had fallen into a pack of wild animals. But this little kitten wasn't afraid; he deliberately puffed out his chest, fiercely baring his claws at them, "I-I warn you, I'm not easy to bully! You'll regret messing with me!"

But no one took his words seriously. Lin Anqu's expression was grave. Seeing Mu Miao surrounded by the pack, his fingers curled, then clenched into fists at his sides.

This was their only chance to escape. Lin Anqu had to get the box. He suppressed the momentary softening of his heart and pressed Mu Miao, "Mu Miao, hand over the box, and we won't hurt you."

Mu Miao was furious, "Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Lin Anqu said coldly, "Hand it over."

Mu Miao's beautiful eyebrows instantly darkened; his emerald green eyes deepened. He glared at them, his clear voice dropping, "I'll say it again, I won't."

Seeing that negotiations were fruitless, the players could only resort to force to obtain the embryo box. Except for the snake, which was a bit troublesome, they didn't take Mu Miao seriously.

Before they could close in, Mu Miao pressed his white hand to the ground. Darkness flickered in his eyes, followed by a violent earthquake.

The earth cracked; a fissure several kilometers long appeared. A giant bone dragon emerged from behind Mu Miao. It spread its bone wings, shaking off the soil, emerald green flames floating in its eye sockets.

Its aura as an ancient overlord caused those standing before it to weaken in their knees. Lin Anqu and the others were shocked and panicked, instinctively holding their breath.

The bone dragon climbed out of the chasm-like crack in the ground. Each of its steps caused tremors.  Standing behind Mu Miao, it roared at the players.

"Roar—"

The shockwave sent several people flying.

Mu Miao got up from the ground, anger still lingering in his eyes. The bone dragon's tail gently wrapped around him, lifting him onto its head.

Looking down at the players from above, Mu Miao resembled a god overlooking ants, "I said, don't provoke me."

He was genuinely angry.

With Mu Miao's unrestrained release of power, countless monsters, as if summoned by their master, were instinctively drawn to him at high speed.

Lin Anqu could only see more and more monsters surrounding them, including the white bats and the owl from before.

Wuwu, seeing Mu Miao, was excited and couldn't wait to cuddle him, "Wuwu~ (Wuwu, I finally found you!)"

The little bat squeezed past it, diving into Mu Miao's arms, comfortably enjoying being enveloped by his scent.  Opening its eyes, it made eye contact with Siqi's vertical pupils.

Its fur bristled; it quickly fled, "Squeak!"

The snake's aura was terrifying.

The players, seeing the boy surrounded by monsters, finally realized what a god-level NPC truly was.

Su Hanxia showed no panic; she nonchalantly mocked herself, "Oh well, it seems I've angered someone formidable. Met my match."

Lin Anqu looked at Mu Miao on the bone dragon's head and felt a sense of loss for the first time. Had he really been too harsh on him? He felt a sudden panic, as if something was about to be lost forever.

Mu Miao, standing high on the bone dragon, pointed at the group below, his crimson lips uttering a few words, "Go, kill them."

At his command, countless monsters obeyed. The little owl and white bat transformed into their true forms, roaring amidst the blizzard and attacking the players.

【Damn, damn, damn! It turns out my wife is the final boss! Who would believe that?】

【I will never question the system's assessment again, wuwuwuwu. Wife, you are my god!】

【So, if Lin Gou and the others die this time, can they directly leave the game? Damn! Who's envious and doesn't say it.】

【Although, but my wife's current appearance is so cool. I thought he was a cutie, but there's a shocking reversal.】

Su Hanxia patted Lin Anqu on the shoulder, teasingly, "Your weak and helpless little white flower is going to kill someone; aren't you going to run? What, are you going to use your life to make him smile?"

Lin Anqu looked deeply at Mu Miao.  As with every decision he had made before, prioritizing Mu Miao's safety, he quickly fled.

Several people were chased and scattered by the monsters.  A dark green longbow materialized in Mu Miao's hand.  He placed his finger on the bowstring, aiming the arrow at the fleeing Liu Xitu.

The wind ruffled his hair, revealing his beautiful face. The peach blossom eyes, usually filled with sweet smiles, were devoid of warmth, like a god from the heavens, untainted by the dust of the world.

"Whizz—"

A piercing sound echoed as the sharp arrow pierced Liu Xitu's body and then dissipated.

Liu Xitu looked at the blood gushing from his chest, incredulously turning his head to look at the boy on the bone dragon. Why was he so strong? Shouldn't he be weak?

He could never understand how this seemingly weak young man could kill him so effortlessly, even unto his death.

Li Cong covered his mouth, watching Liu Xitu collapse before him, lifeless. He stared blankly at Mu Miao, "Mu Mu, you..."

How could Mu Miao kill someone? He was so obedient and would even cuddle up to others. After all, it was he who had saved him. Li Cong couldn't fathom how things had come to this.

In Li Cong's black-and-white worldview, Mu Miao had saved him, so he believed he was good. But witnessing him kill someone with his own eyes, he couldn't accept that Mu Miao was the villain.

Yet Mu Miao's arrow was already aimed at him.

001 watched as Mu Miao effortlessly controlled all the monsters to unleash a massacre, then skillfully and swiftly killed players. He couldn't help but gasp in shock.

No wonder Qu Linxi said Mu Miao was just a bit dim but quite strong. This strength was not just strong; it was downright monstrous!

Could it be that in their clan, the cuter someone looked, the fiercer they fought?

In the end, Mu Miao lowered his bow and did not shoot Li Cong.

It was just that Li Cong's gaze was too sorrowful. Mu Miao knew that Li Cong trusted him deeply. If he really killed him, it would likely leave a significant psychological scar on Li Cong.

Death was already painful enough; Mu Miao still hoped that he could die without such despair.

As Mu Miao watched the monsters chase after the players, he patted the bone dragon's head, "Alright, let me down."

The bone dragon lowered its head, and Mu Miao slid down its smooth skull, landing on the ground. He placed Siqi on the ground first, "Wait a moment; I'll hold you later."

Siqi wagged its tail tip, "Sss~ (Okay!)"

Mu Miao picked up the embryo box and said to the bone dragon, "Keep this box for now; once the snow stops, bring it to the land."

The bone dragon obediently took the box in its mouth and turned back towards the fissure from which it had emerged.

Having settled the embryo box, Mu Miao was about to bend down to pick up Siqi when a thick tentacle wrapped around his waist, pulling him into a familiar embrace.

Dana's head was buried in Mu Miao's neck, his voice muffled, like an abandoned wolf dog, both excited and aggrieved after finding his owner.

"Mu Mu, I've been looking for you for a long time."

Mu Miao: (‘へ?) Don't provoke me; I'm super fierce!
