Chapter 190: Chapter 153: Thunderlight Dragonfly Aggression Test
The milky barrier appeared in the air.
The entire arena was slightly larger than a basketball court. Ye Bai had set up more than a dozen high-definition surveillance cameras in the arena to record the combat capabilities of the Thunderlight Dragonfly. These videos would serve as compelling evidence.
Secretary Liang took out a large Beast Card, which was specifically designed for storing numerous and small-sized Exotic Beasts.
After discovering the Dark Night Mosquito’s Light-Seeking Trait, capturing them became quite convenient.
With just a light source, one could attract a large number of Dark Night Mosquitoes, and activating the Beast Card at that moment would capture many of them.
This Beast Card, capable of capturing Exotic Beasts below Tier Three, found it ridiculously easy to capture a Tier Zero Exotic Beast like the Dark Night Mosquito.
Secretary Liang threw this Beast Card into the Barrier.
A buzzing sound emanated from the Beast Card, growing louder and louder.
This was the buzz from the rapid flapping of the Dark Night Mosquitoes’ wings, initially a faint sound, gradually becoming quite piercing, as if an infrasound device had been activated.
A dense swarm of Dark Night Mosquitoes burst out of the Beast Card. They seemed to converge from all around, forming an impermeable black cloud that steadily and unwaveringly enveloped the entire sky of the arena.
The sheer number of them made it look overwhelmingly dark, with many mosquitoes even coming into contact with the Barrier, causing a milky light shield to appear.
The Barrier was not offensive; its main function was to trap the Dark Night Mosquitoes, preventing them from easily escaping.
If someone with a phobia of dense clusters saw so many Dark Night Mosquitoes, they would probably fall into panic instantly.
Individually, a Dark Night Mosquito wasn’t scary; their bodies were extremely fragile, and even a human could easily squash them into pulp with a wave of the hand.
But when their numbers surged, the densely packed Dark Night Mosquitoes could even attack Exotic Beasts of a higher tier than themselves.
They would pierce their sharp proboscis directly into their prey and gulp down mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Thousands upon thousands of Dark Night Mosquitoes could turn a Tier Two Gale Wolf into bones in an extremely short time.
The absorbed Essence of Blood would be funneled into the body of the Dark Night Mosquito leader, promoting its advancement.
The Dark Night Mosquito leader would emit a special hormonal secretion, accelerating the reproduction process of the Dark Night Mosquitoes and speeding up their advancement.
Watching these Dark Night Mosquitoes, the corners of Ye Bai’s mouth twitched.
This isn’t just a thousand Dark Night Mosquitoes; there could be tens of thousands of them.
Seeing Ye Bai’s resigned expression, Secretary Liang shrugged: "Sorry, there are just so many Dark Night Mosquitoes; we can only capture them group by group."
Her meaning was clear: they were only responsible for bringing in the Dark Night Mosquitoes, regardless of how many there were.
"By the way, to test the attack capabilities of the Thunderlight Dragonfly and the Thunderburst Dragonfly, we captured a lot of Dark Night Mosquitoes."
"I discussed it with Chairman Wang, and it’s also a good way to capture Dark Night Mosquitoes."
"By exploiting the Light-Seeking Trait of the Dark Night Mosquitoes, we can capture large numbers of them and thus reduce their population."
Ye Bai nodded: "That’s a good way, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. We need to completely eradicate the Dark Night Mosquitoes at the source."
"Moreover, the number of these Beast Cards is limited; making one Beast Card takes at least three days."
"Once the Dark Night Mosquitoes absorb enough fresh blood, they will lay eggs in water."
"They lay about two to four hundred eggs at a time, and the hatching period is very short."
"So besides the Thunder Light Water Scorpion, we also need to find a water-dwelling Exotic Beast that likes to eat mosquito eggs."
Ye Bai looked up at the swarm of Dark Night Mosquitoes.
This "canopy" formed by the Dark Night Mosquitoes flickered with a dim glow under the incandescent lights and the Barrier’s afterglow.
Some of them hovered, sped, or silently attached to the ground, waiting for the next prey to arrive.
Their sharp proboscis gleamed coldly under the incandescent lights, each Dark Night Mosquito being about the size of a fist, and many of them had bulging bellies, indicating plenty of victims.
They were enveloped in a bloody Evil Qi.
The Blood Red Evil Qi had merged into a whole, adding to the effect on a racial level.
Amidst the Evil Qi, the Dark Night Mosquitoes would fearlessly and frenziedly attack.
The air was filled with an indescribable tension and unease, and Ye Bai felt that even his breathing became cautious at that moment, afraid of alerting these uninvited guests, causing them to swarm forward.
If the Dark Night Mosquitoes weren’t trapped within the Barrier, Ye Bai might have turned and fled.
"There must be a leader of the Dark Night Mosquito among them, otherwise, they wouldn’t be lined up like a formation."
Ye Bai calmly remarked.
"I’m ready to start the test now."
"Go, Thunderlight Dragonfly."
Ye Bai sent a Beast Card into the Barrier, and the larger Thunderlight Dragonfly appeared.
It radiated a golden light, with arcs of electricity darting across its wings, and its tail resembling a three-pronged plug.
Electrical currents crackled at its tail.
All Dark Night Mosquitoes near the Thunderlight Dragonfly were scorched black by the electricity, their bodies emitting white smoke and electric light as they fell to the ground, their fates unknown.
"Not bad, with just that move, almost a hundred Dark Night Mosquitoes were taken out, and that was without the Thunderlight Dragonfly using its skills."
Ye Bai clearly saw the number of Dark Night Mosquitoes taken down through the Eye of Insight. Of course, after the Shadow incident, he always wore Beauty Contact Lenses when going out.
