Chapter 400: Daoist Mosquito

Chapter 398: Daoist Mosquito

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Old Ox, how did your previous master, Lu Shoushan, die?”

Others might not know, but Jiang Li understood that the source of these mosquitoes that were crazily absorbing life had flown out from the Banishment Immortal Residence that had already transformed into an underground tomb.

If he could know the origins of these things, he would be more confident in this trip.

He rode the old ox towards the node at the core.

In the Five Banishment City Fort, there were a total of five luxurious mansions. They were owned by the ox, sheep, pig, dog, and donkey.

However, behind the five buildings was an independent treasure vault that outsiders did not know.

The Five Banishment Demons took half of the wealth of spirit stones that they had collected over the years and piled them here.

Jiang Li felt that the center of the surging earth vein spiritual qi was here.

“Master, we actually don’t know when our former master died.”

“A thousand years ago, after Master returned from a certain ruin, he only said that he was going into seclusion and asked us to guard the Banishment Immortal Residence.”

“However, once Master entered seclusion, he never came out again. We did not dare to disobey his orders and open Master’s home.”

“For the first 200 years, we have been guarding this place diligently.”

“200 years later, our demonic strength gradually rose. Only then did we slowly establish the current Five Banishment City.”

Through the artifacts on the ox demon, Jiang Li could confirm that he was not lying. The five of them actually did not have much status under Lu Shoushan back then, and he would not tell them important things at all.

However, they could actually wait 200 years after their master disappeared before they began to pursue freedom and did not dare to leave this place for the rest of the year.

‘The pitiful five demons were fierce and famous outside. They were quite loyal to their masters, or perhaps because they were really too afraid.

Even after thousands of years had passed, they still did not dare to forget the instructions of their previous master. Although they had been tyrannical these years, they had only established the Five Banishment City with the Banishment Immortal Residence that had sunk into the ground as the center.

They did not dare to touch the sealed Banishment Immortal Residence at all.

Moreover, in the center of their five demon mansions, which was above the Banishment Immortal Residence, another treasure vault was built.

They placed half of their income into the treasure vault as a form of worship to their master.

After such a long time, who knew how many treasures they had accumulated in this treasure vault, but the five demons only injected new earnings and did not take them.

‘They had sacrificed immense wealth just to express loyalty to their master, who was most likely dead.1

This might be the reason why Jiang Li could subdue them so easily.

The servile nature that had been nurtured a thousand years ago had yet to be eliminated.

He had thrown the Five Banishment City into a sea of flames to roast it previously. Most of the buildings had already been burned down, and everywhere was scorching black.

However, the materials used to build these five mansions were considered excellent. They could block water and fire, so they were not destroyed.

After passing through the ruined city stronghold, Jiang Li stood in front of the ox demon’s mansion.

The Five Banishment Ox Demon did not wait for Jiang Li to speak before taking the initiative to step forward and use its horns to knock open the door of its residence.

However, right at this moment, Jiang Li suddenly felt a slight pain between his brows.

It was not an injury, but an automatic warning to danger.

He raised his hand and clamped a slender, transparent, and strange long needle between his index and middle finger.

This long needle was completely transparent and did not reflect sunlight. Ordinary people might not be able to discover it even if they placed it in front of their eyes to carefully observe.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. This long needle was actually hollow. There was some suspicious liquid inside the hollow needle, and it was very likely to contain fatal poison.

Not only was this hollow needle extremely difficult to notice with the naked eye, it was also silent when it shot over.

Even Jiang Li, who cultivated the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, did not hear anything.

Asa hidden weapon, it was really hard to guard against.

He looked around and carefully observed the direction where the hollow tube came from. Only then did he vaguely see a transparent outline on the signboard of the Ox Residence.

About the size of a human head, a huge mosquito was quietly lying there. Its pair of similarly transparent side eyes seemed to be staring at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at the hollow needle in his hand again. What kind of hidden weapon was that? It was clearly the dirty mouthpiece of that transparent mosquito.

Flames appeared on his hand, burning the mosquito’s mouthpiece. Then, he waved his hand and sent the flames towards the mosquito.

However, this flame did not hit.

‘The mosquitoes of the natural world had already raised their dodging attribute to the limit.

‘This was even more so for the transparent mosquito.

The invisible wings flapped, quickly moving irregularly in the shadows. After avoiding Jiang Li’s flames, it quickly disappeared.

Jiang Li stared for a long time and actually did not discover where this mosquito was hiding.

Moreover, the transparent mosquito wings flapped in the air without making any sound.

‘The movement was silent and its figure was difficult to see. Its aura was not leaked at all. The concealment ability of these mosquitoes was a little too exaggerated.

The flames that burned the entire city did not kill them all.

This kind of special silent mosquito only appeared here. It seemed that it was an elite monster guarding the area.

Before he could think of a way to find such a mosquito, in the next moment, Jiang Li felt a sharp pain in his entire body.

Hundreds of small and sharp hollow mouthpieces shot towards him and the Five Banishment Ox Demon from different directions.

Clearly, there was more than one invisible mosquito hidden here.

The sound of steel needles hitting metal rang out. The mouthpieces that landed on Jiang Li’s body were all broken and fell to the ground.

The ox demon’s defense was not as abnormal as Jiang Li’s.

Although the fur was thick, it was also pierced by the sharp needles.

The transparent long needle worm barrels were injected with the poison in the middle, and then a red line stretched out. Then, dozens of blood threads emerged from the hollow mouthpiece.

Although these mouthpieces were small, the speed at which they drew blood was not slow.

‘The strength of the Five Banishment Ox Demon was not bad. With a sweep of its spiritual qi, it broke all the mouthpieces.

However, the front end of the mouthpiece remained under the skin, continuing to slowly bleed.

Creatures like mosquitoes were really disgusting.

However, such a disgusting creature had something that could deal with it.

Jiang Li raised his hand and scattered a handful of seeds. Immediately, countless plants with sharp teeth grew on the ground.

Insect Hunting Grass, Human Biting Flower, Zombie Eating Vine, and Bloodsucking Wood.

More than twenty carnivorous plants quickly grew and spread under the support of Jiang Li’s spiritual qi.

Demon Awakening, Hunting Forest!

This was another version of Jiang Li’s Nine Nether Tree Realm. Apart from the Great Sea Floating Wood that adapted to the salt on the beach, these were other plants he chose.

‘They were all carnivorous plants.

The surface of these plants could secrete some sticky and sweet nutrient juice. It could lure nearby insects to approach and capture them.

‘The Hunting Forest quickly enveloped the entire Five Banishment City. Its height covered the sky and sun, surrounding the residence of the five demons in the middle.

In the end, the invisible mosquitoes guarding outside the treasure vault could not escape the nature of insects.

‘They were well disguised and had the high dodging characteristics of mosquitoes. However, they only had instincts and no intelligence.

Under the attraction of the sweet juice, these mosquitoes flew out of this hidden corner and landed in the forest, silently swallowed and digested.

After dealing with the mosquitoes outside, Jiang Li finally stood before the entrance of the core treasure vault.

He held the five keys from the five demons and was about to open this treasure vault.

However, before he could step forward, the door of the treasure vault opened from inside.

“Our treasure vault!”

Through the gap in the door, he saw the scene inside. The old bull beside Jiang Li could not help but wail. Two streaks of sparkling tears almost flowed out from his eyes.

The door slowly opened, but there were no jewels in sight.

The various artifacts, spirit stones, and materials in the entire treasure vault had already become dim and lusterless at this moment.

Just like the few artifacts in the Banishment Immortal Residence, the spiritual qi inside had all disappeared completely.

‘The treasure vault that was originally worth at least tens of millions of spirit stones had directly become a pile of trash.

Needless to say, it was definitely the mosquitoes’ doing.

These things should have belonged to Jiang Li.

Now that it was all for naught, he was naturally quite angry.

At this moment, a sound similar to the buzzing of insect wings came from the treasure vault. These vibrations combined together and strangely formed human words.

“Fellow Daoist, I have no grudges~ with you~ Why did you kill my descendants?”

A blurry figure in a blue Daoist robe walked out of the door of the treasure vault.

‘Why was he blurry?

This was because this figure was clearly not a real person. It was completely black and formed by countless tiny mosquitoes.

‘As soon as he spoke, the mosquitoes on his body began to flap their wings at the same time, causing his outline to naturally become blurry.

‘Were there some tiny mosquitoes that wanted to change their positions? On the surface, they would move irregularly from time to time, looking as disgusting as possible.

Jiang Li raised his hand and sent an appraisal.

However, his Level 9 Appraisal Technique did not identify many useful things.

[Name: ?-Wing Black Mosquito]

(Type: ??]

[Age: Ancient]

[Gender: Male and Female in one body]

[Status: Weak, ??]

(Danger Level: Unknown]

‘When such a situation occurred that he could not appraise it, it was usually because the other party’s strength surpassed his or had an extraordinary background.

The person in front of him might be… both.

“No grudges? That might not be the case.”

“Where did you come from, mosquito demon? I kindly let you leave the secret room, but you attacked my stronghold and killed countless small demons under me.”

“You devoured the earth vein and destroyed the foundation of my Five Banishment City.”

“In that case, do you still think we have no grudges?”

This mosquito was released by the Nine Nether clone at the beginning. Now that the Five Banishment Demons had become his demon servants, this Five Banishment City was naturally his territory.

There was nothing wrong with his words.

“So it’s you~ who let me out.”

“In that case~ I, Daoist Mosquito, apologize~ to you.”

“The original owner of this place~ has imprisoned me for a thousand years~ I have escaped death~ but caused much bloodshed~”

“Karma~ Karma~ I’m willing to offer a divine technique as compensation~ The Thousand Years Karma~ How about we settle it today?”

Daoist Mosquito was extremely ugly, and his voice made Jiang Li feel uncomfortable all over.

However, he was clearly a monster formed from countless mosquitoes. His words were clear and orderly. Clearly, his intelligence was not low.

He explained the situation and expressed his willingness to compensate.

A divine technique was naturally quite tempting to Jiang Li.

It was sufficient to make up for the losses of Five Banishment City. Under normal circumstances, with Jiang Li’s personality, he would naturally not choose to suppress and intimidate others.

However

“Daoist Mosquito, do you really want to end karma and turn hostility into friendship?” Jiang Li continued to ask indifferently.

“Naturally,” the mosquito person nodded. The tiny mosquitoes on his face crawled, revealing a smile that could drive a person with trypophobia to death.

“Then what do you mean by this?!”

Jiang Li lowered his head and looked down.

A few extremely fine black dots were climbing up the ox demon’s hooves.

Not only that, but even Jiang Li’s clothes had a few moving black dots.

If one did not look carefully, they might think that it was just dirt from somewhere.

The black dots made Jiang Li’s hair stand on end. It was clearly a part of Daoist Mosquito’s insect body.

A ball of flames enhanced by the power of the Nine Nether Asura emerged from his body and enveloped the black dots and mosquitoes that were climbing.

Tiny screams sounded from the black dots. However, they could not be burned to death in a short period of time!

“What do I mean? I mean to take your life~ Let me, Daoist Mosquito, absorb your soul and destroy you~ Our karma will be resolved then!”

‘The mosquito took out a spear that looked like an empty mouthpiece from somewhere and stabbed directly at Jiang Li’s head.

Being pointed at by the sharp spear tip, Jiang Li suddenly felt an intense sense of danger.

Dodge, dodge, dodge!

1

If he was stabbed by that spear, he would definitely die!

He could sense that the power of the weapon-shaped spear was definitely very terrifying.

It could definitely break through his defense easily.

‘The Black Scale Armor that was ready at any time instantly enveloped his entire body.

As he stepped on the ground and flew back, he also used the Nine Nether Wood Art to instantly grow a tree from the ground and block in front of him.

This was a reaction that Jiang Li could do in an instant.

However, the spear instantly pierced through the tree that blocked Jiang Li’s path, and it nailed Jiang Li’s forehead with a speed that he utterly did not have the chance to dodge.

Jiang Li felt a pain between his brows, and his entire body flew back at an even faster speed before falling into the forest behind him.

“Tm injured?”

Jiang Li, who was caught by the forest, felt dizzy and weak.

He touched the forehead of the Black Scale Armor Helmet and clearly felt a small hole. There was a trace of blood flowing out.

Not only had the spear from before penetrated the Nine Nether Wood that Jiang Li had created, it had actually easily pierced through the defense of the Earth-rank artifact, the Black Scale Armor, and it had even pierced through the helmet and injured him.

If not for his fast reaction and summoning the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword at the last moment to let the Intrinsic Flying Sword drill out from between his brows and point at the mouth spear,

If the hollow spear stabbed another inch, even he would be in danger today.

Even so, it only scratched the skin on his forehead before the spear absorbed a large amount of his blood qi.

Moreover, Jiang Li’s Black Scale Armor and Immortal Slaying Flying Sword had both suffered considerable damage. The Black Scale Armor directly gained a small hole, and a few cracks appeared on the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword from the tip of the sword.

Looking outside, the mouth-shaped spear absorbed the few points of blood that were tainted by the spear tip from the hole in the middle.

Then, the mosquitoes on Daoist Mosquito’s body wriggled a few times and let out human-like tongue clicking sounds.

“The smell of the Human Emperor’s Blood Qi~ and such Dragon Blood~ Looks like I’m lucky~ I encountered such a delicacy as soon as I came out It’s just that your spiritual qi~ smells a little strange.”

“As long as I absorb you~ I, Daoist Mosquito, will be able to recover~ some strength!”2
