Law of the Swarm

Chapter 176 The Ambition of the Bloody Giant Mosquito
Under an unremarkable vine in the Monad Swamp, a pupa nearly [-] centimeters in length was shaking gently. It was a mosquito pupa that had entered three times of pupae.

In just a few minutes, the life in the mosquito chrysalis finally broke through the boundaries of ordinary things, growing from a metamorphic stage to a magical stage.

It finally mastered the talent of [Life Absorption] that it couldn't grasp when it transformed into a rank, and at the same time awakened some ignorant wisdom.

It somehow understood something, it was the "King of Mosquitoes" and had the chance to win the title of "Lord of the Abyss".

It wants to gather ordinary mosquitoes and mosquitoes and beasts that have entered the second pupation, occupy a territory, and then expand the territory, and then expand, and then expand...

It wants to expand its territory endlessly. As for how far its territory will expand, it can't think of it with its poor wisdom.

The life inside the chrysalis didn't think about it any further. It agitated the blood in the body, exuding a strange breath that the title of "King of Mosquitoes" brought to the blood of mosquitoes.

Accompanied by this strange aura, all the mosquitoes within a hundred meters around started a carnival in the sky as if their blood was boiling.

If System could see this scene, he would definitely recall the scene when the Grasshopper Queen launched the locust plague. At that time, countless grasshoppers responded to Kun's call, flew into the sky and gathered together.

The same is true for these mosquitoes at this time. These ordinary mosquitoes and dozens of mosquitoes and beasts after the second pupation also gathered into a torrent, rushing towards the direction of the pupae.

However, unlike the grasshopper queen who simply wanted to lead the grasshoppers to fly into the sky, this chrysalis had its own purpose.

Dense numbers of mosquitoes and mosquito beasts landed on the pupae, and as the mosquitoes gathered more and more, they gradually formed a ball with a diameter of nearly half a meter.

It looks like a honeycomb composed of densely packed bees, but there are no bees and honey here, only countless mosquitoes.

As if feeling that enough mosquitoes gathered around, the pupa that had pupated for the third time released a puff of blood-colored magical smoke, covering all the surrounding mosquitoes.

Like insecticide, as the bloody smoke shrouded, the bodies of these gathered mosquitoes gradually became sluggish and stiff.

After that, these mosquitoes and mosquitoes and beasts remained motionless, like the withered plants in autumn, the bodies of these mosquitoes gradually became dry and wrinkled, and their color became dull.

With a gust of wind in the swamp, these withered mosquitoes were blown away like peeled rice husks...

At this time, the unusually full pupae trembled violently, and at some point, the shell of this mosquito pupae was covered with bloody lines.

Soon, accompanied by a strong fishy smell, a blood-colored giant mosquito nearly fifty centimeters in size successfully broke out of its pupa.

However, it was the stench from the broken pupa that attracted a huge toad half a meter high.

Toads are born to live on mosquitoes. The restraint in the food chain and the extreme weakness of the bloody mosquito when it broke out of the pupa gave the toad, as a mortal, the courage to challenge magical creatures.

The bloody mosquito's body has not yet completely solidified, so it is indeed no match for Toad.

But just as the giant toad popped out its tongue, two [-]cm-sized mosquitoes and beasts blocked the bloody giant mosquito.

The blood-colored giant mosquito also managed to save the day.

Then more common mosquitoes and mosquito beasts rushed towards the toad. Although ordinary mosquitoes could not pierce the toad's skin with a straw, the densely packed common mosquitoes could block the toad's sight and restrict the toad's movement.

The much larger mosquitoes and beasts also took advantage of the chaos to attack, piercing the straw into the toad's body.

After a few minutes.

The blood-colored giant mosquito pulled out the straw from the dying toad with a satisfied face, and at the same time, the surrounding swamp was covered with countless mosquitoes and the withered corpses of mosquitoes and beasts.

The body of the blood-colored giant mosquito has become hard, and it is no longer as weak as it just broke out of the chrysalis.

At this time, the blood-colored mosquito has grown to 55 centimeters, and its body is still growing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a short period of time, the bloody mosquito relied on the huge amount of experience points he had gained to forcibly raise his level.

And at this moment, the bloody mosquito found several strange creatures that appeared a few meters away.

These strange creatures are small in size, only half the size of mosquitoes and insects. Their bodies are covered with gray carapace and have six limbs. Their life level has not reached magic, but they dare to move towards this magical life. Seems to want to attack it.

The blood-colored giant mosquito didn't realize that, in fact, the mosquitoes in the abyss were the same. Crazy mosquitoes would also attack any creature, no matter how strong the opponent was.

The giant bloody mosquito has only one thought at this time, it wants to kill these guys who offend it.

Accompanied by the violent roar of the giant blood-colored mosquito's wings, it shuttled through the thick fog of the swamp at an extremely fast speed, easily grabbed one of these creatures, and inserted the straw in its mouth into the other's skull to suck.

However, just when the blood-colored giant mosquito was enjoying the delicious food in its mouth, it suddenly felt a strange roar, as if something was flying towards it.

The blood-colored giant mosquito once again activated the ability in its bloodline, and began to gather the surrounding mosquito swarms that had become much thinner, and at the same time put down the prey it caught and flew into the sky...

whoosh-

Just as the giant blood-colored mosquito was gathering mosquitoes, a green spike suddenly shot at it.

The blood-colored giant mosquito hurriedly dodged, barely avoiding the green spike.

The blood-colored giant mosquito finally found a breath of magical creatures that came suddenly.

However, the moment the giant blood-colored mosquito realized all of this, the vision of the giant blood-colored mosquito became pitch black.

The giant bloody mosquito seemed to hear a crunching sound, the sound of its exoskeleton breaking, and it seemed to be being chewed by something...

it died...

……

……

It turned into a meat ball with a huge mouth, and chewed the bloody mosquitoes and beasts caught in its mouth.

After chewing for a while, Meatball suddenly found that the mosquito beast that attacked the Ant Knight seemed to be somewhat different from those ordinary mosquito beasts.

After thinking for a while, Rouqiu remembered that the color of this mosquito and insect beast was a little different.

But apart from the difference in color, Meatball didn't think about the other differences for a while, but felt that this mosquito beast seemed to be much tastier.

Among the food eaten by the meat ball, this mosquito and insect beast is considered to be the top delicacy.

However, compared to the food his father gave him called giant dragon bone marrow, there was still a certain gap.

And just as the meat ball was feeling the deliciousness in its mouth, the meat ball suddenly felt the blood in its body trembling slightly, and a brand new ability appeared in the meat ball's body.

Relying on the [Engulfment Mutation] talent, Meatball obtained the [Life Absorption] talent of the blood-colored giant mosquito.

Accompanied by the blood-colored magical smoke being released by the meat ball, countless dry mosquitoes fell from the sky like snowflakes.

Meatball quickly stopped this ability. Rather than relying on this ability to absorb the life of mosquitoes, Meatball still prefers to eat all the mosquitoes directly.

The meatball continued to change the shape of its body, turning into a strange giant mouth with cicada wings. At the same time, the giant mouth emitted a special fragrance that could attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes within tens of meters around would gather to him along with the fragrance. in the mouth.

In this way, the meat balls can fly while eating these mosquitoes.

Because of the expansion of the territory, now Rouqiu has to wander around for a long time every time he visits the territory.

Though going out and flying would make the meatball happy.

but……

The meatball, which was patrolling the territory and marking the smell, thought of its father, System, again. His father hadn't accompanied it on a flight for a long time.

Meatball felt a little lonely and helpless, turned his body, and Meatball suddenly realized that the shadow who had accompanied him to patrol the territory had left at some point.

The meat ball continued to fly for a while, and decided to return to the lair. He wanted to report all this to his father, and he stopped patrolling the territory with Shadow...
