Chapter 11: Crazy Killing Spree (Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendation)
The spectacle of hundreds of millions of blood-sucking mosquitoes gathering together can no longer be described with words like "dense" or "swarming". The vocabulary used to describe it has been exhausted, unable to accurately depict the chaotic scene unfolding before our eyes. This looks like a disaster that makes people scream in despair, filled with hopelessness! It evokes an unspeakable sense of powerlessness from the depths of one's heart, as if everything is doomed to be annihilated and consumed by this black storm of crazed, howling terror insects!
Hundreds of millions of blood mosquitoes vibrated their wings, gathering into a piece in the huge shadow that shrouded the sky and the sun, rapidly flying around this giant umbrella composed of seven or eight giant trees. It exploded with an explosive sound that was hundreds of times more violent than the rotation of a helicopter's propeller. Like tearing through the air, it blew large branches and leaves left and right, shaking them violently, breaking off and rolling into this terrifying whirlpool, and then spewing out piles of shredded debris from the outside of the black storm, with even more being the corpses of blood mosquitoes. Looking at the terrifying scene, even Old Liu didn't dare to venture deeper, and he fled from the army of blood mosquitoes in a most undignified manner, shaking with fear.
"Stop! My child is here too!" The Blood Queen Mosquito let out a terrified shriek, instantly causing the army of blood mosquitoes that were about to shave the tree crown bald to pause, and then disperse again due to loss of momentum. Not only did the formation they had just gathered dissipate into nothingness, but they themselves also turned back into a scattered mess. The buzzing hummed outside the green canopy, neither attacking nor retreating, and for a moment, they simply stood there stupidly, unsure of what to do next.
The spider queen let out a strange, cackling laugh and hid among the lush branches of the big tree. Just as the blood mosquito army was reorganizing to launch a counterattack, she gave an order that sent tens of millions of spiders scurrying into the web fortress's tunnels that connected the inner layer of the treetops. Except for the thousand or so spiders that didn't make it in time and were killed by the blood mosquitoes, as well as some scattered ones on the outer edges of the treetop, the rest withstood the blood mosquito army's two all-out attacks without a hitch. And at this moment, the ruined web fortress on the treetops was covered with a thick layer of corpses, which upon closer inspection turned out to be those of the blood mosquitoes themselves. There were at least 70 or 80 million of them, all of which had been part of the vanguard and weaker elements that couldn't withstand the intense impact and ended up killing themselves. Of course, this kind of self-destructive attack required a massive population base as a prerequisite; otherwise, like the small group of blood mosquitoes at Liu Tings birth, they would be nothing more than a scattered handful without a leader to command them, unable to even form a proper tribe. They would probably become food for various predators in the Gaya rainforest within days, and it was uncertain whether any of them could survive for more than a hundred years.
But to say the least, the two attacks by the blood mosquito just now were indeed grand and unmatched in power. In unexpected situations, they could even easily strangle a thick-skinned mid-tier magical beast. However, it just so happened that they encountered this massive giant grown from multiple thousand-year-old ancient trees intertwined with each other. Their queen was captured alive by the enemy, and their powerful attacks couldn't be unleashed. Even if they were elite warriors, they could only become a disorganized and undisciplined mob, blindly flapping their wings in chaos, turning the scene into a mess.
The spider queen seizes the opportunity to issue an attack signal, and thousands of spiders swarm out. The weak ones continue to spit silk and weave webs, repairing the damaged spider web fortress. The strong ones rely on their own advantages, and with a few bites, they knock down one after another of the bewildered blood mosquitoes, turning them into a heap of unrecognizable things.
The spider had now retreated to the center of the tree canopy, where the Blood Mosquito Queen was being held captive, firmly controlling this disobedient prisoner and not giving her any chance to gather blood mosquitoes for a counterattack. In this way, without a leader to command them, the combat effectiveness of the Blood Mosquito army would be reduced by at least 90%. Even with a large number of troops, they would have no actual fighting ability. What's the use of having more numbers then? They're not even a match for the spider army that occupies the advantageous terrain. Can you still rely on numbers to win? Rely on their mouthparts to kill spiders? Unfortunately, these blood mosquitoes are now in disarray, don't know what to do, and don't even have a basic goal. They just blindly flail about, only instinctively counterattacking when attacked by spiders, but they're no match for the spider's innate hunting skills. In an instant, they're torn to shreds. Among the blood mosquitoes, many are like blind people, rushing around wildly, and end up getting stuck in the spider web, becoming cooked ducks with no hope of escape.
Compared to the chaotic and disorganized blood mosquitoes, the tens of millions of spiders under the guidance of the spider queen appear to be highly cohesive. Despite being outnumbered by a hundredfold or more, they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, with strict discipline, like a well-trained iron-blooded army that has been drilled countless times. With ease, they slaughter the chaotic and rioting mobs before them. In just a few short minutes, the blood mosquito army has suffered another hundred million casualties, although this is still not enough to shake their foundation. However, it causes the chaotic blood mosquitoes to gradually show signs of dispersal, waiting for the spider queen to collect the required number of corpses before killing the blood mosquito queen trapped in the silk cocoon beside her, dealing a final blow to the blood mosquito tribe that has been stirred up. This will ultimately force them to retreat and flee, leaving the spiders to reap the fruits of victory!
However, all the insects seem to have ignored our old comrade Liu. With such a great destroyer existing, how could the spider queen possibly complete her ambitions smoothly? Taking advantage of the unprecedented chaos, Old Liu sneaked up to a ghost-faced spider, which had been chasing him earlier and was now almost exhausted from running and fighting. The scorching sun had left it on its last breath, half-dead and motionless in a corner. With Old Liu's vengeful personality, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity, flying over to the spider and shooting out a drop of bright red blood from his narrow mouth!
Of course, you shouldn't think that Lao Liu was overcome with guilt and vomiting. Actually, he had just been watching the mosquito-spider battle again and discovered that a few larger mosquitoes could compress their bellies to spray out corrosive ** to attack, just like the ghost-faced spider. This sparked an idea, and he realized that he could do something similar. As for the specific reason, he couldn't quite figure it out, but it seemed that his vomit could be used as a form of attack. So, at this moment, Lao Liu seized the opportunity to test the power of his new skill. Who knew that one try would scare him half to death?
The blood that Old Liu spat out was the precious magical beast blood absorbed by the Rainforest Electric Python earlier, which still contained extremely strong lightning power. Although it had been digested and swallowed by Liu Ting for a part of it, it could still be compared to ordinary Rainforest Electric Python blood. To know, the previous Old Liu saw those spitting mouthfuls of mosquitoes were actually mature bodies that had undergone three molts of evolution, although they did not evolve into magic insects to gain powerful abilities, but also could let the absorbed blood essence in their belly be extracted cleanly, leaving only some impurities. The large amount of water lost after losing the blood essence was also a great burden for the blood mosquitoes, and these useless things mixed with the mosquito gastric juice were corrosive, indigestible, and could only be spat out. Usually, it was used only when building blood mosquito nests, specifically to mix mud and weeds, making them more solid after drying. However, during a battle, the Blood Mosquito Queen discovered that these useless vomits could also be used as an attack, although the effect was not very significant, but it was retained. It could only be considered a small plaything for passing time when bored.
But now our Liu Dage's move is different, the bright red blood beads filled with lightning power that are forcibly sprayed out by him, although they are extremely small and only a tiny point like dust, flash out a shocking and terrifying light. The ghost-faced spider seemed to be alert, suddenly raised its head, looked in the direction of the blood drop, and made a series of terrified screams.
Only a faint sound was heard, and the spider's head was pierced by a blood bead, followed by nearly half of its body bursting open in a cloud of dark smoke, with a faint flash of electricity visible for an instant.
This attempt shocked Old Liu! The spider queen turned her head and was also shocked! There were several ghost-faced spiders that stayed not far away, and they screamed in terror, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying!
At this time, the Blood Mosquito Queen took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Spider's control and secretly sent a distress message to Old Liu, who was closer to her. The content was still the same as before: Kill Spider, save me.
