Chapter 41: Biological Weapons Powerful Enough to Crush the Ecological Balance! [New Book, Please Re
Although he knew that the Core Formation elder of Tianque Fortress wasn't talking about him, Xiang Zhili, who was disguised as a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining, found the words of that Core Formation ant particularly grating no matter how he listened.
You look down on pseudo-spiritual roots, I won't argue with you, because I don't really think much of them either.
But you look down on a pseudo-spiritual root at the tenth level of Qi Refining? If you hadn't been cursing in the direction of Spirit Beast Mountain, I would have really thought you were cursing me...
"..." Meng De, who was inexplicably mocked, had no expression on his face and did not say anything. He just silently remembered the name of the other party's sect.
However, Meng De didn't know that when he later wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with this Core Formation Elder of Tianque Fortress, he would find that he couldn't find this person anywhere...
"Enough with the nonsense, let's open the forbidden area!" Master Lei Yun and Li Huayuan stopped the farce and, together with the power of the other seven sects' Core Formation elders, prepared to open the Crimson Forbidden Area.
Boom!
On the flying boat, Meng De only saw several Core Formation cultivators fly into the air and jointly bombard a certain space in front of them. Then, with a huge roar, a huge blood-red magic array appeared in the transparent space. Several Core Formation elders then hovered in the air, occupying several of the bases of the blood-red magic array, and continuously exerted pressure on the blood-red magic array with their internal magic power, finally causing a crack to appear in the blood-red magic array!
"Go in quickly! Remember! You only have five days. You must return after five days, otherwise the restriction will close and you will never be able to get out again!" Master Lei Yun shouted with his magic power towards the direction of the flying boat from Spirit Beast Mountain. Immediately, the trial disciples from the seven sects rode their flying boats and swords and flew quickly towards the crack in the blood-red magic array!
"Survival is the priority!" Yunxi grabbed Mengde's hand and, riding a flying sword that Mengde had never seen before, followed the crowd and plunged into the spatial restriction of the Crimson Forbidden Land!
The instant he entered the spatial restriction, Meng Dezhi felt a phantom tearing sensation in his body. Then, the world spun around him, and the surrounding environment changed. Meng Dezhi found himself seemingly on the outskirts of a valley shrouded in dark clouds!
Bloodstained Forbidden Land, Outer Valley!
Because the teleportation by the spatial restriction is random, the trial disciples of the seven sects are randomly scattered in the outer valleys of the Crimson Forbidden Land. Only by continuing to explore deeper will they eventually meet.
"Five days... Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I really don't know what I could do in five days." Meng De looked up at the overcast sky, took a breath of the air, and found that the spiritual energy here was probably several times denser than outside.
Swish!
Mengde found a place with a water source nearby, then took out several array flags and array plates from his storage bag and casually set them up around the pool. A faint mist immediately filled the area around the pool, mixing with the water mist in the valley and forest, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
After unleashing the Cloud and Water Maze Array he bought from Bai Yunsheng, Mengde also sent out a Cloud Wing Shield as thin as a cicada's wing.
The Cloud Wing Shield flickered a few times in the mist before merging with the mist surrounding Mengde and entering standby mode.
The Cloud Wing Shield bestowed by Qingli may not be the most defensively powerful among high-grade magic weapons, but its defensive speed is absolutely outstanding. After a year of refining, Mengde has been able to adapt the Cloud Wing Shield to his divine sense. The moment he senses danger, the Cloud Wing Shield may react even faster than his body, following his divine sense to resist the attack.
With the margin of error provided by the Cloud Wing Shield, Mengde had time to activate the Golden Light Rune and save his life.
"However, under normal circumstances, I should be on the outermost edge of the forbidden valley right now... Normal people would be seizing the time to go deeper and collect spiritual herbs. As long as I don't enter the valley, the possibility of encountering danger is very small." Although that's the theory, Meng De still took all the necessary precautions and also put more than ten golden light talismans on his clothes just in case.
After completing the preparations, Mengde took out three spirit insect bags.
The three spirit insect bags contain one hundred million mortal-level [Scout Mosquitoes], one million spirit insect-level Crimson Flame Mosquitoes, and one million spirit insect-level Nine Nether Poison Mosquitoes.
The Scout Mosquito is a special type of mosquito that enhances only its flight speed and breeding speed, and it is also specialized in an ability called "Swarm Echo".
When a scout mosquito spots live prey, it releases a special infrasound wave that can travel tens of meters to notify surrounding scout mosquitoes. Upon sensing this infrasound, the surrounding scout mosquitoes will continue to propagate it outwards. Theoretically, if the number of scout mosquitoes is dense enough, Mengde can determine the approximate information of the other trial participants in the valley from the outer edge of the valley by observing the highly delayed echoing vibrations of the swarm.
And this biological detection method is practically perfect, except for the drawback that the delay gradually increases with distance.
Because these scout mosquitoes are just ordinary mosquitoes, they don't have any divine sense. Even if a Core Formation cultivator is monitored by these scout mosquitoes, they would be puzzled by the large number of mosquitoes and would find it difficult to connect the scout mosquitoes with the monitoring.
To ensure the large population of scout mosquitoes, Mengde specifically focused on enhancing their reproductive speed through selective breeding. Ultimately, this allowed the scout mosquitoes to reproduce at an unprecedented rate of two generations per day, with each generation expanding a thousandfold! They are veritable nanoscale biological clone mosquitoes!
Of course, this is the maximum speed. Based on Mengde's environmental assessment of the Crimson Forbidden Land, the expansion rate of the scout mosquitoes should be more than 100,000 times the speed of a single day...
In other words, the 100 million scout mosquitoes that Mengde carried might swell to the order of ten trillion by the end of the first day... and by the end of the second day, it would be... one hundred trillion...
The scout mosquitoes have all their genetic abilities focused on reproduction. Their only drawback is that they are completely harmless to demonic beasts and cultivators, and can be easily wiped out in large numbers.
But Mengde didn't need them to be lethal; the only purpose of the scout mosquitoes was to gather intelligence through sheer numbers.
Furthermore, the terrifying numbers of scout flies provide crucial cover for the subsequent swarm attacks by Mengde.
Throughout the entire Crimson Forbidden Land, the only flying mosquito in Meng De's possession that posed a threat to that group of Qi Refining Peak cultivators was the Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquito.
A single swarm of Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquitoes is unlikely to pose a sufficiently lethal threat to a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining, but the addition of a terrifying number of Scout Flying Mosquitoes changes everything.
As the saying goes, truth and falsehood are intertwined; you can ignore the bites of scout mosquitoes, but you cannot ignore the venomous mosquitoes that have infiltrated the swarm.
Therefore, once you are covered by a swarm of scout flying mosquitoes, your spiritual energy shield will never dare to stop.
"It's just a pity that, without external interference, the Crimson Forbidden Land may not need to be reopened after this battle..." Along the water source in the outer valley, Mengde scattered scout mosquitoes all the way, seeking solace for the despicable things he had done.
