That devastating blow became a fear that she would never forget in her life.
This is not a good thing.
Because monsters themselves are lives born from fear.
And now, when this snow girl monster, who was supposed to be responsible for spreading fear, suddenly developed a great fear of certain things.
The rules that govern her body had changed silently.
She is still a snow girl.
But she is no longer a free snow girl.
She was bound to this land by her own fear and became a being similar to an earthbound spirit.
This may be a sad story.
But after a moment, she no longer cared about being sad.
Because she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something stirring beneath the land, as if it was about to break through the limitations of the soil and burst out.
"It's water!"
There is a large amount of groundwater buried under the peak of this mountain.
But before that, it had not been visible because it was hidden by the mountains.
But now, the obstacles that stood in their way have disappeared.
The scorching flames not only melted the hard mountains, but also burned the hard soil, causing cracks of varying sizes to appear inside.
As a result, the groundwater buried under this land finally has a chance to see the light of day again.
"Crash..."
Clear water gurgles out from underground.
The traffic volume is not very large, but there are too many exits.
At the same time, what is even more magical is that there is a hint of hot steam coming out of these water streams.
It's a hot spring!
Well, this isn't really surprising.
The mountains nearby, and indeed the entire island of Japan, are located on a huge plate collision zone.
There are many earthquakes and volcanoes here - so naturally, there is no shortage of hot springs.
However, what was a little beyond Nanxing’s imagination was...
The hot springs here seem a little different:
"It's the seventh day, the seventh day, and it's still bubbling."
"On the thirteenth day, the lake's water level is still rising."
"On the twentieth day, the rate of increase in water level gradually slowed down."
"On the 27th day, the water level did not rise significantly...it looked like it had finally stopped."
The person in charge of keeping records was Fujiwara no Mokou.
For nearly a month, she went there every day.
I also witnessed with my own eyes how the hot water bubbling up from underground gradually turned the mountain basin into a large lake.
On the 30th day, when the lake gradually took shape and the surrounding environment became completely stable and would not change much, Nanxing brought Kikyo to the lake, which was seven or eight kilometers in diameter, and showed off his "masterpiece" to her:
“Even in the cold winter, the lake never freezes and is always covered with a lot of fog.”
Kikyo frowned slightly, and then gave the lake a name that was simple and easy to understand, yet still meaningful:
"Lake of Mist."
……
Another month has passed.
The coldest time is over.
Although it is still winter, the weather is gradually warming up. Beneath the cold surface, there is a vibrant force ready to take off.
The area near the Mist Lake is the first place to show this vitality.
Because it is a hot spring lake, the temperature here is higher than other places. Therefore, spring comes earlier.
There are already some green spots on the dark gray land.
A moist breeze blew, and a few tiny, palm-sized goblins flew across the sky, leaving ripples on the calm lake surface.
"Fairy."
This is also a kind of monster.
However, compared to other monsters, they are somewhat special.
They were born from nature and are the embodiment of nature's vitality - from this point of view, their existence may be closer to that of gods.
But unfortunately, the gods of Takamagahara will not acknowledge these little creatures as their own kind.
Therefore, in people's general impression, they can only be associated with monsters.
But, of course, the goblins themselves don't care about these things.
They are small in size and have small brain capacity. They will not remember the things that make them unhappy, but only know to enjoy their happiness in the place where they were born.
"Mommy mommy."
An ice and snow fairy held the snow girl's arm tightly and refused to let go.
The Snow Girl was very unhappy, so she blew a breath and froze the goblin into an ice sculpture.
After a moment, the ice sculpture shattered and the ice and snow fairy inside died.
But in the next moment, he was reborn.
“Mom, Mom—”
She laughed and flew to the Snow Girl again, looking like she had never learned her lesson.
This is also the biggest feature of fairies:
"Although they are weak, their IQ is generally not high."
"But they were born from nature and are immortal."
Kikyo explained with some concern.
Of course, she was not worried about these fairies that were basically harmless to humans except for playing pranks.
What really worried her was Nanxing.
She didn't know whether Nanxing had noticed.
Now, he has reached the point where "even a casual move can cause incredible scenes and create monsters."
The foggy lake in front of us is the best example.
According to Kikyo's guess, the appearance of these fairies is most likely just the beginning.
In the future, more monsters will surely be born in this lake that suddenly appeared in the deep mountains.
And because this lake was created by Nanxing, when those monsters were born, they already had an inextricable and absolutely inseparable connection with Nanxing.
This is definitely not a good thing for Nanxing.
——He will naturally have to bear the consequences of the fear he created and all the consequences that arise from it.
But Nanxing himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"They're pretty cute, aren't they?"
Nanxing stretched out her hand and gently held a green-haired fairy in her palm.
She is a wind fairy and seems to be smarter than the ice fairy.
At the same time, the system prompts that this little fairy seems to be born with a ninjutsu:
[Wind Style: Air Training].
Chapter 114: A small fairy with a huge impact
The fairies near the Mist Lake are mainly wind fairies and water fairies.
Occasionally there are a few plant-type fairies, hiding in the mud every day, looking very timid.
However, please do not ignore the power they possess just because of their petite and fragile appearance.
If left alone, they can turn a barren land into green grass in a very short time.
"Wood Style: Grass and Tree Technique."
how to say.
Compared to Wood Release, this should perhaps be called [Grass Release] or [Flower Release].
This kind of escape technique has almost no offensive ability.
But at the same time, the vitality it contains is enough to be called shocking.
——The reason why Yamato’s Wood Release is not as good as the First Hokage’s is because he lacks the most crucial vitality.
These little elves were born from nature, but they possessed life force that Yamato would never be able to possess in his entire life.
"It won't be long before this place becomes a new place of origin."
Kikyo made a bold guess.
The birth of monsters all has its origin.
For example, Shikoku is the origin of raccoon cat monsters, and the temples in the Kansai region are the origin of tengu monsters.
Judging from the current situation, this foggy lake created by Nanxing is expected to become the new origin of the fairies.
"So, what are you going to do with these goblins?"
Kikyo asked curiously.
At this moment, she probably already knew that Nanxing would probably not completely copy her "great balance" theory.
——The priestess who maintains order in the human world and the lord of evil spirits who stands at the top of the monsters are two completely different lives after all.
They must never be confused.
But at the same time, Kikyo was even more curious about how Nanxing would realize his "vision".
In response to Kikyo's doubts, Nanxing just smiled slightly.
"Before answering this question, I think you can get in touch with these fairies first."
"If you find one you like, you can take one home with you."
"..."
Platycodon was a little confused and didn't know what Nanxing was up to.
But she didn't think much about it and just walked forward a few hundred meters and came among the laughing goblins.
"Someone!"
"Are you here to play with us?"
"whee……"
The noisy goblins quickly gathered around and chattered around Kikyo, looking very welcome.
This made Fujiwara no Mokou very angry.
——She is also a woman, and she watched the formation of this fog lake. She even put in a lot of effort when "opening up" this fog lake.
But these damn fairies really dislike her.
Not only was he unwilling to contact her, but he turned around and ran away as if he had encountered some terrifying beast.
"It's because you are of the fire element."
