After Pingping was swept away by Wu Laoliu, Wei Xun fell into a depressive state and couldn’t extricate himself out of it. It didn’t feel like negative feelings of pessimism or depression, but a feeling of wanting not to move, and a feeling him passively resisting to save himself——
It was the same feeling as knowing school would start the next day but not wanting to catch up on schoolwork. Instead, one would continue to lie on the sofa and play with one’s phone.
It was as if Wei Xun was bewitched. Unless the spiteful ghost Pingping came back to him again, Wei Xun lost interest in everything. Even when Zhao Hongtu grabbed his sleeve and Wang Pengpai put him on his own shoulder, he didn’t have any reaction.
It wasn’t until the buzzing rang out behind the car and the two horns of his forehead began to burn slightly that Wei Xun recovered a little.
What’s that?
This time, Wei Xun woke up from his own stupor and began to realize what was happening in reality. He frowned. His clothes were soaked with blood and clinging to his skin. It was very uncomfortable. The smell of blood wasn’t great, but the cold brought by the wound made Wei Xun feel lazy like he was a hibernating snake.
But——the scent coming from the rear smelled really tasty.
Wei Xun turned his head and looked at the window. He saw a greyish-white patterned mosquito that was as large as the size of a fingernail lying outside the window.
It was clearly no different from ordinary mosquitoes in terms of appearance. But now, Wei Xun felt like it was made of candy——no, he didn’t feel that, but it was the horns on his forehead that felt that.
Although they were all appetizing, this mosquito didn’t feel exactly the same as the resentment he felt. If resentment was the food and nourishment for the two horns, these mosquitoes were more like homologous but inferior energy sources.
Wei Xun had always felt that when he fully mutated, his mutation form should be a demon. Since these mosquitoes were of the same origin source, he dubbed them demonic mosquitoes. A single demonic mosquito had too little energy, it was akin to a grain of inferior granulated sugar. It would be impossible for one mosquito to garner the attention of his two horns.
However, there were too many mosquitoes chasing after him. For the two horns, it was like several large pieces of rock candy chasing after them. Although they were of poor quality and low in energy, altogether, the amount of energy was still quite considerable.
The mosquitoes seem slightly sumptuous.
Wei Xun stared as more and more demonic mosquitoes gathered at the outside of the window and licked his lips.
But these mosquitoes were really ugly.
The car came to a halt at this point, and there were an increasing number of demonic mosquitoes on the window. Wei Xun got a sensation they were looking at him as well, expecting to consume an energy body of higher hierarchy than theirs.
To evolve was the instinctive of all living things. Even the little mosquito was longing for his flesh and blood.
But all of the demonic insects were killed in an instant. They were far too frail. They wouldn’t even be able to evolve by consuming Wei Xun’s blood. They were devoured by Wei Xun’s blood and turned into pure energy as soon as they touched his blood.
Wei Xun’s arm trembled, and dead demonic mosquitoes that resembled bran dropped to the ground. Their drained-of-energy bodies were as delicate as though frozen by ice. A layer of dead demonic mosquitos rained down, and more demonic mosquitos pounced on Wei Xun’s arm as if they had gone insane, only to die.
“Thanks so much for the treat.”
Wei Xun’s eyes narrowed slightly because he was comfortable. He didn’t need to buy recovery medicine from the Travel Services. His injury was healing rapidly. Moreover, Wei Xun had regained a stronger control over his body. The wound on his left arm was within his control, and he did not have to heal it yet. The smell of blood had attracted more and more demonic mosquitoes.
From the outside, these mosquitoes’ bodies appeared like a tornado, in which the upper body was thick and the lower body sharp. The final destination they were heading to was Wei Xun’s arms. In swarms, they flew to his arm, and in swarms, they collapsed.
As the old fable says, if anyone wants to get something from the devil, you will always have to pay the devil much more.
Wei Xun’s continuous absorption of energy made his body heat up slightly, and even the air he breathed out was hot. This feeling was really great. Although he could always hear the sound of SAN value decreasing, Wei Xun didn’t care. Like a dissatisfied child, he wanted more. His dark eyes looked at the mosquitoes——there, Wei Xun could hear an even more tasty scent.
There were three stronger, purer demonic mosquitoes there. They were similarly lured over by Wei Xun’s blood but vaguely knew that his blood was a deadly and poisonous bait, so they hesitated and refused to come over.
Hurry here……
Wei Xun breathed a sigh of relief, controlled his left arm to make the wound crack deeper, and the smell of blood filled the air, driving the demonic mosquitoes around crazy.
Come here——
The newly opened wound was near where the Maria butterfly tattoo was. The tattoo glowed slightly under the patch of skin covered by mosquitoes and wasn’t visible to Wei Xun. The blood there was tinged with hues of pale bluish purple.
The three demonic mosquitoes that had been hidden in the deep fog finally couldn’t withstand the temptation. Two mosquitoes as large as the size of a small calf broke through the dark gray fog. One demonic mosquito had white spots on its black body and the other had black spots on a white body. Their bodies actually had three pairs of wings.
The other demonic mosquitoes retreated one after another as if their kings had arrived. The two mutated giant mosquitoes flew very fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the SUV and rushed towards Wei Xun. The buzzing sound caused tremors in one’s brain and head, causing one to feel dizzy and one’s seven orifices to bleed.
Just then——
“Fasten your seat belts!”
Wang Pengpai roared, “This fat lord is going to start driving!”
Boom——
The engine roared like a demon, and the entire SUV vehicle rocked violently. The SUV, which had been stranded deep into the muddy pit and couldn’t get out, restarted. The wheels spun quickly, splattering a lot of muck, and the demonic mosquitos on the window fled away in an instant. Almost the entire SUV was lighting at this point, and the tremendously intense force almost pushed everyone to the rear. Everyone’s backs were firmly pressed into the seats.
Boom-om——
Like a galloping wild horse, the SUV jumped out and drove off at the speed of a drag racing car, which frightened everybody so much that their faces were pale. No one would have thought that Wang Pengpai’s driving was this horrible.
Xu Chen, who was sitting on the front passenger’s seat, couldn’t speak coherently. Seeing that there was a puddle on the road ahead, he was frightened and his voice trembled as he said, “Puddle, there is a puddle in front!”
“Haha, don’t worry. This fat lord is an experienced driver!”
Wang Pengpai said with a forthright smile. No one knew how he maneuvered the car, but the SUV soared obliquely and almost fell into the Little Dragon Stream. At the critical moment, the SUV turned around and crossed through a puddle. Wang Pengpai had an unimaginable power to control his driving, and his driving skills could be dubbed as terrifying.
No one had time to fasten their seat belts. Everyone was thrown sideways. Zhao Hongtu fell directly on Wei Xun, and Wei Xun knocked his head on something in the car.
Bang!
His dizziness interrupted the pleasure he felt when absorbing energy. Wei Xun covered his head with his hand and finally woke up from his stupor. He looked up and saw that his arms were full of dead mosquitoes. His face immediately showed an almost frightened expression, and he shuddered.
So disgusting!
He shook his hand, shaking all the mosquito carcasses off his palm, and glanced at the enormous mosquitoes following them. Wei Xun’s face went practically green.
Damn it, how could he think mosquitoes are delicious!
The fog mosquitoes were tossed to the back, but the two giant mosquitoes were still chasing after them. Wei Xun could clearly see their sharp mouthparts were several sizes larger. They were as long as one’s forearm, and as thick as a crochet needle. Their bodies were reflecting light as if their bodies were made of metal, and they seem to be stained with the reddish-brown blood of some unknown creature.
For a moment, many kinds of bacteria and viruses that mosquitoes carried as described by the Baidu encyclopaedia flashed through his mind. When he thought of the countless demonic mosquitoes that had just fallen on his arm and on his wound, Wei Xun wanted to jump into a huge pool of 84 Disinfectant and swim for five kilometers in it.
How dirty!
Don’t touch Laozi!
Zhao Hongtu, who was next to Wei Xun, was thrown around so much by the car ride that he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. He panicked and got up from III-9 several times, but the sharp turns made him fail again and again. He was barely sitting down until someone nearby helped him.
“Thank you——”
In a daze, Zhao Hongtu thanked him. As he was speaking, his heart clenched in fright. No, only III-9 sat in the same row with him! Before he could recover from the shock of “III-9 actually helped me,” he felt his pocket lighten.
“Ah, my gun!”
The handgun Hou Feihu left him for self-defence was taken away by III-9!
Looking at the two giant mosquitoes chasing after the SUV, Wei Xun was truly enraged. It was as if he was seeing his own dark past, but he didn’t want to come into contact with his dark past again, let alone tear them apart with his hands. Wei Xun even felt that his Tour Guide’s Flag was too short, so he simply took the handgun in Zhao Hongtu’s pocket.
“Go to hell.”
“Bang!”
The sound of gunfire made Zhao Hongtu’s ears buzz. He was stunned and looked at III-9, but he found that the shooting posture III-9 adopted was unexpectedly good-looking. There was a lot of space in the SUV. Wei Xun half-stood up, turned around to allow his back to lean against the back of the driver’s seat, and leaned sideways. His upper body leaned out of the open window, and his shoulders were against the window frame.
He covered his ears with one hand and shot with the other. His hands were surprisingly stable, and his eyes were cold and frightening.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Good riddance.
Wang Pengpai, who was driving, was distracted and looked at the rear-view mirror. He saw that all the shots that III-9 shot were towards the giant mosquito’s wings. He was surprised. With a mere glance, he could tell that III-9 had practised using a gun previously. What surprised him most was the faint ominous red light attached to the bullet.
Without that layer of red light, ordinary bullets could not hurt the fog mosquitoes!
Wei Xun shot his anger out using the gun. He hit the giant mosquitoes who kept chasing the SUV. These mosquitoes were too dirty. Wei Xun couldn’t stand the thought that he had just absorbed so many mosquitoes, thinking that they were sugar beans.
His strong psychological repellency caused the two horns to reluctantly give up the impure energy from the demonic mosquito that had not been fully absorbed. Wei Xun’s killing intent directed towards the two giant mosquitoes made the two horns understand his intentions and decided to adhere to Wei Xun. They decided to “recycle” the energy. Hence, it was attached to the bullets.
Every bullet had the energy of hundreds of demonic mosquitoes. Even if the giant mosquitoes had purer bloodlines and were stronger, they couldn’t completely block the damage.
Perhaps it was because they saw Wei Xun allowing the mosquitoes to feed on him without resisting, so they finally acted. But when they died, the two giant mosquitoes felt aggrieved. Why did this demonic human suddenly change his attitude?
After the bullets in the gun were emptied and the two giant mosquitoes were completely killed, Wei Xun threw the gun into Zhao Hongtu’s arms without expression. He roughly rolled up the ragged sleeves of his left arm and violently and accurately pinched towards his right hand.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
A golden mosquito was pinched by the wings, but it didn’t struggle. Instead, it stretched its head like a drunkard, and finally sucked a few more mouthfuls of blood, shivering as if it was cold.
Wei Xun recalled that he first sensed that there were three powerful mosquitoes in the mosquito group, and only two giant mosquitoes were killed by him. Another mosquito, the most cunning and concealed mosquito, had come to him quietly.
It even sucked a few mouthfuls of blood near his butterfly tattoo.
It concealed itself so deeply that Wei Xun didn’t even feel any sensation at all. Compared to the two giant mosquitoes, this golden mosquito was much smaller. It was only as big as his thumb pad. It was chubby. It didn’t look like a mosquito, but it looked more like a plush bee, with circle patterns on its body.
When Wei Xun grabbed its wings, it didn’t struggle and pretended to be dead. Although it seemed that it was not aggressive, the energy contained in its body was the most abundant and powerful, like a little bear gummy, flowing with honey fudge.
Wei Xun clutched the mosquito in his hand, and his face was expressionless. He moved very fast. Even Zhao Hongtu who was near Wei Xun didn’t discover that III-9 had caught a mosquito. Zhao Hongtu only heard Wei Xun’s stomach rumbling——
