Chapter 6 Fate... Ruthless!
Mengde had to admit one thing: he seemed to be a bit useless.
Of course, this "waste" does not refer to Mengde as a person, but rather to Mengde's shortcomings in cultivating immortality.
The cultivation speed of the four spiritual roots was still too slow, so Meng De could only place his hopes on his source blood mosquitoes.
"Fortunately, I managed to refine the Azure Bee Boat, so I've at least managed to master a little bit of flying." Inside the Blackwater Manor, swarming with mosquitoes, Meng De stiffly stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and looked at the dense swarm of mosquitoes around him, a slight smile creeping onto his lips.
After three months of iteration, Mengde's source blood mosquitoes were rapidly iterating at an average rate of one generation every five days. Three months later, Mengde's source blood mosquitoes had reached the 117th generation, and the number was roughly estimated to have exceeded 100 million.
Mengde couldn't afford to raise too many of the original blood mosquitoes, so he released most of them, spreading them throughout the entire Blackwater Village and the surrounding mountains and forests.
Although thousands of blood mosquitoes are preyed upon every day, increasingly stronger blood mosquitoes emerge from the pool daily.
buzzing...
Inside Blackwater Manor, Meng De gently raised his hand, and a new generation of Source Blood mosquito, about the size of a finger, landed on him. Compared to the tiny mosquitoes of the past, this mosquito had achieved an epic breakthrough in size. In terms of combat power, this mosquito, with its sharp proboscis, might be able to put up a fight against an ordinary wasp.
"This little guy has put a lot of effort into his mouthparts." Meng De carefully examined the new generation of blood mosquito in his hand, its terrifying and ferocious mouthparts being particularly eye-catching.
In the 109th generation, Mengde discovered that the new generation of blood mosquitoes had successfully developed a super gene: mouthpart enhancement.
Despite being only the size of a fingertip, blood mosquitoes have mouthparts that are as hard as iron needles.
"It's time to update the 'Blood Mosquito Catalogue'." Meng De released the blood mosquito in his hand, then took out the manual from his storage bag and added new data to it:
[Illustrated Catalogue of Blood Mosquitoes]
[Genetic precursor: White-striped floater]
[Species: Common mosquito]
[Bloodline: 117th Generation]
[Special Gene: 'Enhanced Mouthparts', mouthparts are exceptionally sharp and as hard as iron needles]
After completing the data, Mengde arrived near the pool in Blackwater Manor that he had named the "Feathering Pool".
Because the number of blood mosquitoes was too large, Mengde could no longer cultivate them indoors, so he directly used the large pond in Blackwater Manor as a new breeding pond. Since the blood mosquitoes were still ordinary mosquitoes at the moment, even if their numbers were enormous, they would not attract anyone's attention.
Because this is Qingling Peak, the only "insect mountain" in the Spirit Beast Mountain, it's perfectly normal to have a lot of poisonous insects and flying insects here.
Even if discovered, Mengde could easily use the excuse of "breeding insect food" to cover up the abnormal explosive growth in the number of flying mosquitoes in Heishui Village.
"You should be able to evolve all the other characteristics on your own, but there's one thing..." Perhaps the environment of this world is too good, the blood mosquitoes' evolution speed far exceeds the experimental data accumulated by Mengde in his previous life, achieving in three months what took three years in his previous life.
Mengde picked up a water vat and scooped up a batch of "rolling black water" directly from the Feather Transformation Pool. Then, Mengde lit a fire and boiled some water in a slightly rusty copper kettle.
Once the water in the copper kettle boiled, Mengde lifted the kettle and walked towards the water tank filled with countless blood mosquito larvae.
"..." Looking at the tiny life tumbling in the water vat, Meng De paused slightly, then expressionlessly poured the boiling water from the copper kettle directly into the vat.
As boiling water was poured in, Mengde watched thousands upon thousands of mosquito larvae thrash about, struggling and trying to escape... ultimately dying in the extreme heat... The water temperature in the tank continued to rise, the larvae huddled together, trying to escape towards the lower temperatures; those that were slow would become corpses, absorbing a meager amount of heat...
As Mengde watched the blood-red mosquito larvae in the water vat die horribly in the boiling water he had poured out, their corpses floating for miles... Perhaps, in the eyes of these larvae at that moment, this was a catastrophe from outer space... a devastation of life, a world annihilated? Mengde silently pondered this as he watched the larvae struggle and die in his boiling water.
Looking at the wretched state of the mosquito larvae, for a fleeting moment, Mengde felt as if he were that heartless... creator...
Finally, when all the boiling water in Mengde's copper kettle was poured out, the water tank was covered with a thick layer of three centimeters of blood mosquito larvae... More than 99 percent of the blood mosquito larvae perished in this first pot of boiling water, leaving only a very few lucky ones who survived by using the corpses of their own kind to "keep warm".
These weak but fortunate ones, after experiencing the "boiling water world-ending" event, fed on the corpses of their own kind, quickly passed through the larval stage, then began to pupate, and subsequently emerged as immortals.
These lucky ascensioners were named "Fire Mosquito Generation" by Meng De.
Inside Blackwater Manor, after Meng De finished feeding the 'Fire Mosquito Generation 1' with a vial of blood drawn from the old green ox in the backyard, before he could even get boiling water to scald the 'Fire Mosquito Generation 2', he noticed that the Azure Spirit Token at his waist was slightly warm.
"The three-year agreement... no, the three-month deadline has arrived, hasn't it?" Meng De picked up the Azure Spirit Token, and before he could react, a pleasant yet indifferent voice suddenly came from within the token: "Mission Hall, come immediately."
Meng De remembered the voice; it belonged to Senior Sister Yunxi, who had brought him to Qingling Peak.
"I thought I was going to see it alone, but it turns out there was an introduction..." Meng De, whose Dao heart had turned to ice while killing mosquitoes at Blackwater Manor, felt a little better when he heard Senior Sister Yunxi's voice. The voice of a kindred spirit made him feel a little better.
hum!
Inside Blackwater Manor, Meng De changed into the gray Taoist robe of Spirit Beast Mountain, and then summoned the Azure Bee Boat from his waist.
As the spiritual energy swept through, the seal on the Azure Bee Boat was broken, transforming into a talisman that flew into Meng De's fingertip. The Azure Bee Boat also grew larger in the wind, quickly becoming the size of an ordinary car. As Meng De pinched the Azure Bee talisman and infused it with spiritual energy, the plump Azure Bee Boat swayed slightly before steadily taking off, eventually flying rapidly towards the mountainside of Azure Spirit Mountain.
Meng De roughly sensed the speed of the Green Bee Boat and found that it was very fast, not much slower than a family car.
......
Halfway up Qingling Peak, outside a magnificent building partially hidden in the clouds, dozens of flying boats and thousands of flying insects constantly moved in and out...
Outside the Black Bee Hall, which is commonly referred to as the mission hall by the disciples of Qingling Peak, Meng De steadily and smoothly moored his Qingfeng Boat and saw Senior Sister Yunxi, who had been waiting for a long time.
"You've raised quite a few mosquitoes in Blackwater Manor." Dressed in a light-colored cloud-patterned dress, looking like a girl next door, Yunxi explained her purpose as soon as they met.
"It is an honor for Mengde to be able to make my own small contribution to Qingling Peak." Mengde kept his posture very humble.
