Chapter 42 One person surrounds the entire forbidden area...Mosquito Taoist! [New book, please vote!
Given the breeding speed of the scout mosquitoes and their combined biological swarm attack system with the Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquitoes, the Crimson Forbidden Land will inevitably suffer immeasurable damage if no higher-level power intervenes.
Because the scout mosquito, as a biological weapon in Mengde's hands, made sure that soil and vegetation were all within its diet!
In fact, the source blood mosquitoes in Mengde's hands basically all have similar genetic characteristics to "Bite the Dust". Blackwater Manor will occasionally experience a collapse in the number of mosquito swarms. When the number of mosquitoes exceeds the environmental carrying capacity, they will even hunt each other and feed on grass and soil to survive.
Mengde initially didn't pay much attention to this phenomenon because he couldn't control it; it was an inevitable outbreak of mosquitoes. Ultimately, after three years of natural selection, the mosquito swarms developed the characteristic of eating anything.
"We still need to take protective measures." On the outskirts of the Blood Forbidden Valley, Meng De scattered scout mosquitoes and Netherworld Poisonous Mosquitoes along the water source while putting on a black iron mask and wrapping himself tightly in a black robe.
To unleash a plague of insects in the Bloodstained Forbidden Land is an extremely immoral act, and Mengde must conceal his identity.
"Insect-feeding grass? That's a good thing." Because Mengde always stayed on the outermost edge of the valley, the chances of encountering other sect disciples were relatively small. Sometimes, if he was lucky, he could even collect some low-level spiritual herbs.
Meng De naturally accepted all the low-level spiritual herbs without hesitation, collecting them all. In just three or four hours, he had collected seven or eight low-level spiritual herbs.
"Observing the growth status and age of these spiritual herbs... Could it be that the growth rate of spiritual herbs in the Crimson Forbidden Land, as a spatial secret realm, is several times that of the outside world?" The low-grade spiritual herbs in Meng De's hands were not valuable and were something that other trial disciples would not even glance at. Meng De collected them as he passed by, mainly because these low-grade spiritual herbs could be used to feed mosquito swarms.
As night approached, Mengde stumbled upon a battle. He glanced at it from afar and immediately fled to a less crowded area.
After the first night, Mengde slowly made his way into the valley following the water source. After a day of fermentation, the number of mosquitoes along Mengde's route was visibly increasing rapidly...
......
In a valley somewhere on the outskirts, an ordinary-looking cultivator from Huangfeng Valley picked a high-quality spiritual herb from a dense forest. He then looked up at the mysterious thick fog shrouding the depths of the forbidden area, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"This forbidden area is actually a blessed land. Although the spiritual herbs and medicines collected here are not very old, they are of many kinds. Perhaps I can directly collect the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill?" Han Li, a cultivator at the eleventh level of Qi Refining in Huangfeng Valley, sighed inwardly. Then, he stepped out of the shadows and disappeared from the spot.
Deep within the Crimson Forbidden Land, inside a stone hall bearing the marks of time, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a robe from the Yellow Maple Valley, stood silently beneath the stone wall, looking up at the wall reliefs above that seemed to record some legends.
"It seems...not..." Then the white-haired old man's figure disappeared like a ghost.
"This operation must succeed; failure is not an option!" In the core area of the Crimson Forbidden Land, a female cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain plunged headfirst into the mysterious thick fog with a determined expression.
On the other side, the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, who had completed their assembly using magical artifacts, were also exploring the depths of the forbidden area under the guidance of a veiled female cultivator with a mysterious aura.
......
The Crimson Forbidden Land is not large in total, only a few hundred square kilometers. Five days is enough time for the disciples participating in the trial to travel back and forth several times.
Therefore, on the afternoon of the second day, Mengde found himself in a bit of trouble. The number of enemies in the valley seemed to be increasing, and Mengde was almost discovered several times. Fortunately, the rapidly advancing scouts predicted his movements in advance, allowing Mengde to dodge in time.
Even so, Mengde still encountered a group of people.
"Five hundred meters away... one... two... two groups of people?" Holding the water-based spell "Water Seal," Meng De hid himself deep in the river, concealed among a terrifying swarm of scout mosquito larvae.
Upon discovering warning fluctuations in the scout mosquitoes on the water's surface, Meng De found a safe spot to emerge, concealing himself in the forest. By observing the warning rhythm of the scout mosquitoes, he finally managed to painstakingly deduce that there were two groups of people 500 meters away.
Five hundred meters is practically right in front of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. If Meng De makes a sound without paying attention, he will be discovered instantly.
Analyzing the early warning fluctuations of scout mosquitoes is a very difficult task. Mengde could only deduce that there were two groups of people, but could not accurately know the specific number.
Until...bang!
The sound of magical artifacts colliding suddenly rang out. Meng De, who was 500 meters away, could clearly feel the shockwaves in the surrounding air, followed by the energy fluctuations of the released spell!
After thinking for a moment, Meng De took out a special Crimson Flame Mosquito from his spirit insect pouch. He connected his divine sense with the Crimson Flame Mosquito, allowing him to roughly share the mosquito's facial features within a certain distance.
This blood-path spell, called "Blood Eye Technique," was a valuable secret technique that Mengde acquired from Bai Yunsheng. Although the distance at which the shared vision could be observed was very short and it consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, it was extremely important to Mengde because it was a blood-path secret technique that could be learned in a short time.
As Meng De's vision followed the Crimson Flame Mosquitoes into the air, Han Li on the other side frowned slightly as he looked at the dense swarms of mosquitoes covering the corpse.
"I have a feeling that something is not right... The number of mosquitoes seems a bit abnormal lately..." Han Li watched as the mosquitoes that he had just killed swarmed around him like madmen, vying to suck the hot blood of the dead man. This scene made Han Li feel a strange unease.
Feeling uneasy, Han Li immediately retrieved the pair of magical boots from the corpse and also collected the transparent thread left nearby.
Just as he was about to leave, a blood-red mosquito suddenly landed on his shoulder.
Han Li frowned, preparing to unleash his inner power to kill the blood-red mosquito, when he was surprised to hear a faint divine voice suddenly ring out!
"Cultivators of Yellow Maple Valley... are you interested in making a deal?"
"Who are you?!" Han Li's inner power had already been activated. As soon as he sensed something was wrong, he immediately crushed the Crimson Flame Mosquito and left the place.
"You can call me... Mosquito Taoist." Meng De, who was facing the Crimson Flame Mosquito, looked somewhat surprised. The moment he saw Han Li, he was inexplicably certain that the person was Han Li!
To prevent Han Li from being stressed, the Crimson Flame Mosquitoes took flight again and landed on the back of Han Li's hand.
