I'm raising mosquitoes using science as an ordinary person.

Chapter 8 High Temperature Resistance Genes!

"..." Surrounded by millions of flying mosquitoes, Meng De couldn't help but swallow hard as he watched this astonishing scene.

Although he knew that his blood's aura was like basic code to these blood mosquitoes, he hadn't expected it to be so effective.

Surrounded by a swarm of insects resembling a dark cloud, it would be a lie to say he wasn't panicked. Especially after Meng De learned that the mouthparts of these blood mosquitoes, which had survived hundreds of generations, were comparable to iron needles, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, although the swarm of insects surrounded Mengde because of the scent of blood, they did not try to steal the blood droplets from Mengde's fingertips. Otherwise, Mengde had no doubt that he would have been torn to pieces by those iron needle-like mouthparts!

"But this is an unexpected surprise... I've never known how to control these mindless blood mosquitoes... I never imagined my blood would have such special effects..." Meng De looked at the mosquitoes around him, which resembled a black tide, and couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

"Ling Beast Mountain seems to be a hidden stronghold of the demonic path... It should be possible to obtain blood-related spells..." Meng De realized that if he wanted to control source blood creatures without intelligence, he would have to specialize in blood-related spells.

Go!

Meng De made a hand seal, his spiritual energy flowing through his body. The storage bag at his waist instantly opened wide, and Meng De flicked his blood into the storage bag. The moment the blood left Meng De's fingers, the surrounding swarm of insects surged again, turning into a black tide that rushed directly towards the storage bag!

In less than a minute, Mengde's storage bag was filled. Mengde immediately released his spiritual incantation and closed the storage bag.

"There is air in the storage bag, so the blood mosquitoes won't lose their activity in a short time." After completing the task, Meng De glanced at the remaining blood mosquitoes around him. He found that the ten-cubic-meter storage bag was only half full, with most of the blood mosquitoes still flying in the air.

Meng De did not bother to shut down the remaining blood mosquitoes. Instead, after collecting the insect food storage bag, he returned to his room to meditate and cultivate.

The next morning, after Mengde opened his eyes and observed the growth of the new generation of mosquito larvae, he saw a flying boat flying in from the distant horizon.

"Mengde greets Senior Sister Yunxi." After the flying boat approached, Mengde respectfully cupped his hands and said this after seeing who was piloting it.

"Hmm." Yunxi jumped off the flying boat and immediately saw swarms of mosquitoes trying to attack her. She instinctively activated her spiritual energy shield, her brows furrowing slightly. "Are your mosquitoes really that aggressive?"

"Please forgive me, Senior Sister, they are all mindless flying insects, and I can't control them..." Meng De smiled helplessly; he truly couldn't control these blood mosquitoes. Within the entire Blackwater Manor, only Meng De and the Old Green Ox were spared from the mosquitoes' attacks; all other creatures were indiscriminately attacked.

Currently, the blood mosquitoes are still considered ordinary mosquitoes. Even though they are dozens of times more powerful than regular mosquitoes, they are still considered food by the venomous insects and snakes in the mountains near Blackwater Village. However, Mengde has recently been frequently finding snake and insect carcasses in the nearby mountains... It seems that after the blood mosquitoes developed the [Sharp Proboscis] super gene, they are now able to kill some larger creatures.

"Hmm." Yunxi frowned slightly as she looked at the blood mosquitoes that had been repelled by her spiritual energy shield but were still stubbornly trying to fly over, and whose numbers were increasing.

Upon seeing this, Meng De quickly stepped forward and stood beside Yunxi.

Strangely enough, ever since Mengde stood beside Yunxi, the surrounding blood mosquitoes stopped attacking her.

Upon noticing this, Yunxi gave Mengde a strange look, but didn't say anything. Instead, she asked directly, "Is the insect food ready?"

"I've already visited Senior Sister Qingli, and she said she's willing to pay extra spirit stones based on the quality of the insect feed. If the quality is up to standard and the supply can be maintained long-term, then she'll reward me with a spirit insect egg." Yunxi's face twitched slightly as she saw the rolling black water in the dense, stinking ditches within Blackwater Manor.

She'd seen plenty of insect-raising people... but this was the first time she'd seen insects raised in such a disgusting way...

However, considering that everyone else was raising spirit insects, which was naturally different from Mengde's raising of ordinary insects, Yunxi told herself not to overthink it, to finish the task as soon as possible, and to leave as soon as possible. Staying here for even a second longer was torture.

"It's all ready, Senior Sister. They're all alive, and the place is full. Of course, since they're alive, they might not be packed very densely." Meng De quickly untied the storage bag at his waist and handed it to Yunxi with both hands.

"Hmm...not bad." Yunxi extended her divine sense and glanced at it. A look of surprise appeared on her cute little face. The number of blood mosquitoes in the storage bag was obviously beyond Yunxi's expectations.

"Have you practiced the Spirit Control Technique I gave you last time?" Yunxi, who was about to leave, suddenly asked.

"I'm currently preparing for cultivation, Senior Sister," Meng De replied.

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Yunxi said this before preparing to leave.

Meng De's eyes lit up slightly, and then he subconsciously asked, "Senior Sister, I have a favor to ask. I wonder if it's possible?"

"You say it." Yunxi jumped seven or eight meters, and the flying boat beneath her feet instantly expanded. Yunxi looked down at Mengde.

"Senior sister, I've almost mastered the Spirit Rain Sword Technique. I wonder if you have any fire-based spells..."

"No." Yunxi interrupted Mengde before he could finish speaking.

Seeing Meng De's somewhat surprised look, Yunxi pondered for a moment and then said, "According to the rules of Qingling Peak, everything must be exchanged for its equivalent."

"I do have a basic fire spell here. If you want it, it'll cost five basic spirit stones."

Meng De was slightly taken aback. He realized that the price seemed a bit too expensive. It wasn't until he later discovered that Yunxi would provide guidance on magical cultivation that he understood why it was so expensive.

"...Senior sister, can I pay on credit...?" Meng De only had four low-level spirit stones in his hand; he had used the rest for cultivation.

"Hmm..." Yunxi thought for a moment, then ran her fingers across her waist, and a red manual appeared in her hand.

"Okay, see you next time." Yunxi tossed the red manual in her hand to Mengde and then sailed directly towards the horizon.

After watching Yunxi's figure disappear into the horizon, Mengde looked down at the red manual in his hand.

This is a basic spell called "Fireball". Although it may be a bit common, for Mengde right now, the importance of this "Fireball" spell is greater than five basic spirit stones.

because...

Meng De: Hehehe!! You insects, I'll show you what it means to experience both ice and fire!!

Bloodborne: Children, run!! The Milky Way is about to collapse! A scorching fire is about to descend!!

Mengde believed that once his mosquitoes successfully acquired the super genes of [High Temperature Resistance] and [Cold Resistance], combined with their [Sharp Proboscis], they would undoubtedly be able to wreak havoc once they reached the Foundation Establishment stage!
