Blood-sucking giant-winged mosquitoes, Fourth Order Dark Insects, prefer to lay eggs in swamps or frozen soil. They are eggs during their juvenile stage and transform into mosquitoes as adults. Their bodies are slender with six legs, and their mouths possess a piercing sucking needle, and they prefer to live in swarms. Not many people on the continent know about the blood-sucking giant-winged mosquitoes. If it wasn’t for Shalman, who has been exposed to snakes, bugs, rats, and ants since childhood, and deliberately collected information about Dark Insects, he probably wouldn’t know either. Most people just regard the giant-winged mosquitoes as slightly bigger mosquitoes that feed off the fresh blood of weaker Dark Beasts. However, for ordinary Dark Practitioners, as long as they have reached the Dark Jade level of cultivation, their skin and bones will be much tougher than ordinary people’s, and they would not fear the tiny giant-winged mosquitoes at all. Indeed, in ordinary climates, the blood-sucking giant-winged mosquitoes behave like normal mosquitoes. However, when the climate undergoes abnormal changes, such as a lack of food in winter, the blood-sucking giant-winged mosquitoes will grow wings the size of dragonflies, and their nature changes from blood-sucking to subsisting on Dark Energy instead. A single blood-sucking giant-winged mosquito may not be frightful, nor would ten of them, but when it turns into thousands of giant-winged mosquitoes, that’s where the trouble begins. "Vice Dean Xue once told me there is a strange book on the continent called ’Insect Chronicles’, which contains records about the blood-sucking giant-winged mosquitoes. There was once a Dark Heavenly Master who, under the attack of a swarm of hungry giant-winged mosquitoes, had all his Dark Energy sucked out dry, and he died from exhaustion of his Dark Energy," in this region of Fengdan County, the heavy snow has been sealing the mountains for days. The situation is dire if these food-deprived blood-sucking giant-winged mosquitoes encounter people... Shalman shuddered, while Yue Jinghua thoughtfully looked ahead at the rows of footprints nearly buried under the fresh snow. The wind whipped up the snow like surging waves, transforming them into snow waves, overlapping each other as they pounced forward. In secret, Ye Zi used a flower vine to wrap around Yun Luo, preventing her from getting lost. They followed the group of mercenaries, one step deep, one footprint shallow. The wind and snow ahead slightly lessened, revealing an expanse of frozen marshland. The black soil had long been frozen by the wind and snow, turning into a hard crust. The spiritual wood growing next to the marsh had long since withered. For Ye Zi, using the Spirit Control Technique under these conditions was not ideal. "What exactly is the treasure you guys spoke of that could impress Viscount Mo’er? All I see is a barren land," Ye Zi scolded, charmingly angry - inherent allure of the Huamei tribe displayed in her alluring eyes. The Black-bearded Mercenary and others felt their Divine Souls stirred, nearly losing control. "Master Pill Master, no need to be impatient. The treasure is right under this frozen soil," the Black-bearded Mercenary, trying to win the favor of the beauty, summoned a murky-yellow Dark Energy on his double-edged axe, and with a loud shout, he struck the frozen soil. Beneath the hard crust was a massive expanse of ice-blue snow, neither Ye Zi nor Yun Luo had ever seen snow of such color before. The Black-bearded Mercenary took out a flint, and picking up a piece of the ice-blue snow, he struck twice—sparks leaped from the flint, and "poof", a flame erupted on the frozen soil. The flickering flames immediately warmed the surroundings. "You see, Master Pill Master, with this thing, we can keep warm and supply goods. We’ve tried it: a thumb-sized piece can burn for an entire day. Think about it, every year during the winter, Bailu County and Fengdan County need a huge amount of Xuan Beast Xuan Pills to drive the Dark Arrays. With this treasure, think how many Xuan Pills can be saved. Moreover, we heard that Viscount Mo’er has long intended to conquer Fengdan County. If we use this treasure, the elderly, weak, and orphaned in Fengdan County will naturally come to seek refuge in Bailu County," this group of mercenaries originally went into the mountains merely to hunt some Dark Beasts and acquire some Dark Pills, but they didn’t expect to find this large area of "Blue Snow Field". With their current manpower and resources, they could only explore about three acres of "Blue Snow". They thought that as long as they inform Viscount Mo’er of Bailu County, once the blue snow is massively excavated, their mercenary rewards would continuously flow in. "Not bad, your information is very useful. I’ve decided to reward you handsomely," Ye Zi raised her eyebrows, a charming smile spread across her flirtatious face, a glint of murderous intent briefly flickered in her eyes. "Thank you, Master Pill Master, we’re just..." the Black-bearded Mercenary rubbed his hands in a pleasing manner, his beady eyes roguishly scanning the lovely faces and figures of Ye Zi and Yun Luo. "Ah--" behind them, a stream of warm stinky blood sprayed out, and the Black-bearded Mercenary panicked. Several flower vines as thick as wrists pierced through the mercenaries’ chests at lightning speed, spilling blood and shattered viscera all over the ground. The delicate-looking girl let out a tinkling laugh, and numerous flower vines sprouted from the ground behind her, ceaselessly swaying, "As a reward, I will let you die quickly." "You, you are not a Pill Master, you," the Black-bearded Mercenary, seeing the death of his comrades, was terrified to his very core. Among the mercenaries, he was the most skilled. In his panic, his double-edged axe flashed, wildly swinging, and in his frenzy, he chopped down the attacking flower vines. "Tch, in this icy snow, even the reaction of the flower vines is dull," Ye Zi complained, her delicate hand executed a chopping strike in mid-air, and behind her, the roots and flower vines danced like a swarm of snakes, closely following the Black-bearded Mercenary. Her movements were nimble, resembling a butterfly weaving through the air. The sound of what seemed like branches breaking echoed from underneath her feet, Ye Zi, unconcerned, didn’t check what she had actually stepped on. She was well aware of the value of this unknown "Blue Snow Field"; if anyone were to escape tonight, it would spell disaster for the Fengdan County where the Young Clan Leader resided. If you don’t eradicate the roots, the spring breeze will bring them back to life. "Ye Zi, watch out behind you," Yun Luo, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke up to warn. Ye Zi turned her head as she heard a buzzing sound coming from the direction of the frozen soil behind her, only to see hundreds of strange-winged mosquitoes flying towards her. "Just a mere Fourth Order Dark Insect, we must not let that mercenary escape," Ye Zi snorted coldly, she first sent out a flower vine to sweep over Yun Luo, and then the flower vines rapidly closed together, forming a bud shape, sheltering the two behind them. It turned out that during the chase earlier, Ye Zi had accidentally stepped on a mosquito egg in the frozen soil, which had attracted the swarm of giant-winged mosquitoes. "!" Ye Zi, who was about to split another flower vine to pursue the Black-bearded Mercenary, changed her expression when the mosquitoes surrounded the vine. "My spiritual power is decreasing," as a large number of mosquitoes clung to the flower vine, the spiritual energy in the vine connected to Ye Zi leaked like air from a deflating balloon, quickly diminishing. Winter is already a season when spiritual wood is depleted. Ye Zi could feel the spiritual power in her spiritual wood core rapidly drying up. The once sturdy and concealing flower vines were continuously shrinking, and it seemed they would soon be unable to cover the figures of the two people. "Ye Zi, what’s wrong, can’t you hold on any longer? Let me out, you can’t protect two people on your own," Yun Luo, noticing Ye Zi’s pale face quickly losing color and the cold sweat beading on her forehead. "No," Ye Zi shook her colorless lips, gasping out a few words, "Hold on a little longer, I’ll think of something." In the season of Tree Demon Flower Charm, a single leaf returns to its roots, a flower and a fruit; she would never easily give up on people and things she is committed to. "Ye Zi..." Yun Luo called out softly, as if she had made a very significant decision, she reached to her waist and pulled out a slender steel needle.
