Chapter 295 - 15: The Miracle of Blue Snow
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.
