Chapter 13: Old Liu Takes Action (Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)
Innumerable pairs of wings that shook the air with turbulence finally came to a stop, just like the waves before a storm suddenly retreated, becoming calm and peaceful, seemingly harmonious, yet unknowingly accumulating energy, brewing an even more violent attack!
The spider queen was on high alert, suddenly looking up at the empty space. All the spiders were affected by the atmosphere filled with infinite oppression, becoming violent and restless, and they all looked in one direction in the high sky. There, a blood mosquito that was much smaller than its mature size, yet arrogant and emitting a terrifying aura, continued to increase its flight altitude, suddenly issuing an order, and instantly countless blood mosquitoes flew towards the sky, forming a black curtain that covered the sky like a constantly changing dark cloud, gathering and dispersing, combining into various strange shapes. Although they had not launched a new attack yet, this already made the spiders underneath restless, and without the spider queen's orders, they all crawled into the broken web fortress, hoping that the combined giant tree would be strong enough to block the enemy's next wave of fierce attacks.
The spider queen also resentfully gazed up at the black curtain in the sky, but ultimately had no choice but to quietly crawl into the treetops and hide. The power unleashed by the insect tribe's leader was not something that these amateur tribes could withstand. Even if the opponent was just a low-ranking member of the Gaya, once they formed a scale, it would absolutely be impossible for their tens of thousands of ordinary spiders to resist!
Of course, the spider queen didn't have a human-like brain and wouldn't know that Old Liu, who seemed majestic in the sky at this moment, was also in an awkward situation. It's worth noting that blood mosquito queens and spider queens can stand out from millions of their peers and become the leaders of their entire species not because they were born with high status or the ability to control the lives and deaths of others, but because they have undergone extremely harsh evolution. From ordinary insects, they transformed into higher-level magical insects. After becoming magical insects, they possess a special spiritual communication ability that allows them to communicate with large groups of weak-minded peers and issue commands in their unique way to complete various attacks. Moreover, these commands are not something that can be easily accomplished by just any cat or dog; each insect species has its own unique way of living and reproducing, so the commands are also varied and numerous, like fish crossing a river.
Lao Liu was mistaken for a high-ranking magic bug by the Blood Mosquito Queen after he absorbed the blood of the Rainforest Electric Boa, which contained an extremely powerful energy that even a slight leak could intimidate these low-ranking magic bugs and create an illusion of his strength. In fact, Lao Liu had just been born in this world for half a day, had eaten a full meal by chance, but was not actually an advanced magic bug. Of course, Lao Liu was not comparable to ordinary blood mosquitoes either - inside his seemingly miniature body was a human soul, and he seemed to be in good spirits, so even if he wasn't a magic bug, he could barely meet the standard of issuing orders and make most blood mosquitoes follow his commands to fly up and down. What he lacked was the kind of long-term coordination with his tribe that would allow him to unleash his full killing power. If the soldiers didn't know their general and the general didn't know his soldiers, even if they had many subordinates, it would be useless as they would just keep sending them to their deaths. At this moment, Lao Liu was troubled by this problem, and after killing many brain cells, he could only barely come up with a command to control the tribe to fly up and down together. As for other things, such as the two barrages launched by the blood mosquito army earlier, they were simply impossible to study in a short time.
However, the more Old Liu researched how to attack, the greater the pressure on the spider queen below became. This intelligent spider queen was already terrified by Old Liu's terror, sinister and cunning, fearing that this enemy with a belly full of evil water would again research some conspiracy to achieve the purpose of annihilating its own side. In fact, if it weren't for Old Liu suddenly appearing and intervening, the spider queen's plan wouldn't have had any problems, and after storing enough food, its plan to cheat the heavens and change the day could also be carried out perfectly, making up for its inevitable death after leaving production. This way, this spider queen would also possess extremely strong potential, and with the knowledge ability imparted by the Spider Empress, it could roughly understand and use it. After a period of expansion, this intelligent spider queen's promotion to a higher level of demon insect was almost a certainty, and further evolution into a high-ranking demon insect was only a matter of time. Perhaps it could even give rise to a new group of high-ranking spider clans, bringing new changes to the complex situation in the Gaya Rainforest.
But at this moment, the spider queen was completely disheveled and her mind was in a mess. She had lost her previous wisdom and calmness, and in her anxiety, she vented all her anger on the blood mosquito queen who was secretly causing trouble. With one order, dozens of spiders surrounded the dying queen and tore her into pieces.
At this moment, Old Liu suddenly had an epiphany and came up with a despicable plan. He commanded thousands of blood mosquitoes to fly towards a place 50 meters away. There, a bare ancient tree stood proudly between a clear spring, its crown devoid of leaves, but covered in thousands of long, thin vines with downward-facing thorns that hung loosely down. On the tree's body, the wound created by the Goma beast earlier still existed, but it had shrunk significantly. Hundreds of large-headed ants, the size of human fingers, worked diligently, shuttling between the carnivorous ancient tree and the spring water, continuously secreting a peculiar substance to cover the tree's wounds at a visible speed, filling up the long, narrow wound. It was also these peaceful black-toothed ants that unfortunately encountered this significant battle led by Liu, who was directing the blood mosquitoes like a thug. The blood mosquitoes, sent as cannon fodder, attacked the hardworking black-toothed ants with a flurry of stings and bites, instantly igniting their passion and summoning their brothers from their nests. Thousands upon thousands of them poured out, as if they had taken stimulants, eager to fight. Although these black-toothed ants rarely searched for food on their own, it didn't mean they wouldn't hunt for food. On the contrary, these large-headed ants possessed extremely strong attacking abilities and were united in defending against enemies, far surpassing most groups controlled by a single leader.
The old Liu sent out the suicidal blood mosquitoes, which were immediately killed or injured, but successfully attracted the firepower of the black-toothed ants. The black-toothed ants, who had a territorial instinct, would not have gone so far, but they could not withstand the constant attacks by the old Liu's suicidal blood mosquitoes. The black-toothed ant army was finally enraged and chased after them all the way to here. Seeing those enemies stopping on the leaves and branches of the giant tree, the black-toothed ant army poured out and killed them without needing any command. Just under the canopy of the giant tree, they saw these buzzing attackers. Without thinking, these simple-minded guys naturally started a revenge battle, but did not know that their tribe had already entered the spider's warning line under the old Liu's malicious guidance, and thus encountered the spiders' crazy sniping.
Looking down at the suddenly chaotic ants and spiders, Old Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing very happily. He thought to himself, "You think you can hide inside and I won't be able to do anything to you? Just watch me take care of you." At this time, the black-toothed ant, a top-tier species in the insect world, finally became enraged. Its mandibles opened like two sharp iron sheets, constantly tearing apart everything that blocked its way, whether it was spiders or leaves, even small twigs were bitten in half by these ants with extremely strong jaws. Even dense spider webs couldn't withstand the impact of these ants' frenzied attack. If compared to fighting ability, spiders weren't bad, but they still couldn't compare to ants. Moreover, these were a group of fearless ants. In an instant, the spiders suffered heavy casualties, and many more were forced back onto their web fortresses, barely clinging to life.
"Hey, hey, the opportunity has come! Kids, follow me up!" Old Liu, who knew the golden saying "take advantage of someone's illness to take their life", took the lead and shouted loudly, issuing the slogan of Shan Da Wang's robbery. He led the countless blood mosquitoes to press down on the ground again. The overwhelming momentum of the billions of blood mosquitoes was like a tornado thrown by the gods to the earth, or as if the sky had suddenly been pierced with a huge hole, and the missing part was accompanied by a loud roar towards the ground. It turned out that Old Liu had understood the truth about the blood mosquitoes' strong attack in groups at the moment of fire and electricity, and came up with this new skill of attacking from high altitude to the ground on the spot, writing a brand new command for himself. Although this new command had never appeared in this blood mosquito tribe before, its operating principle was exactly the same as the arrowhead strike and flying spin slash that they had trained before. The blood mosquitoes didn't need to understand it at all, just follow the leader's command and act, and they could exert their mighty power!
The spider's four small eyes grew extremely large, and it let out a heart-wrenching wail, but no matter what, it couldn't avoid this attack that came straight down from the sky. Because Old Liu was afraid of the impact zone being too big, he reduced the power of this attack, so with extreme cunning, he made the blood mosquito, acting as the arrowhead, charge directly at the spider's location, intending to annihilate it in one go, and even if there were any remaining threads, they wouldn't be able to stir up a big storm.
The sky shook violently, with a loud rumbling sound that seemed to pierce through the air, striking the top of the merged giant tree in an instant. It was as if a sharp sword had been thrust into it mercilessly. The merged giant trees were indeed unlucky, having been targeted by two magic bug mothers with summoning abilities within a single day, which led to this crazy war. Of course, the spider queen and blood mosquito queen were relatively civilized, each having their own concerns, not daring to go too far, and had not caused too much damage to the tree, at most just stripping away some leaves. But Old Liu was different, he didn't care if there were any bug eggs left on the tree or not, directly ordering a strike, creating a huge hole in the center of the merged giant tree. Not only did the spider queen hiding deep within the tree suffer, but even the main branches of the tree were scraped away, leaving behind a pile of splintered wood and insect corpses. The spider queen was already dead, beyond salvation.
Old Liu followed closely behind, with over a thousand mature blood mosquitoes, and provided cover from the rear. Naturally, he didn't foolishly follow the arrowheads in a simultaneous charge, which would be suicidal. The power was indeed great, but he also had to die in large numbers. Old Liu was now considered a somewhat powerful insect king, how could he bear to follow them to their deaths? Now that he saw the merged giant tree being reduced to this state by himself, with countless ant and spider corpses falling to the ground, as well as some frightened survivors fleeing in all directions. Old Liu was even more delighted, opening his throat to shout loudly: "Pursue, pursue, free attack! Remember to kill those ugly monsters with poor-quality human heads on their backs first..."
