Chereads / The Rise of the Blood Mosquito / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Town in Liaobei

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Town in Liaobei

"By the way! It looks like this is a rural or suburban area of ​​a village or a big city. So, there are more predatory animals in the wild. If I enter the city, the number of predatory animals will decrease significantly!" Jia Yan's eyes lit up!

"And if I enter the city, I can determine the direction, and then find a way to locate that scoundrel, Yu Yuan!"

The more he thought about it, the more correct it seemed. Jia Yan controlled his body, remaining vigilant against potential predators while flying towards a large cluster of illuminated buildings ahead.

First, find the residential area of humans, try to fill his stomach, and at the same time, figure out what to do next!

Typically, mosquitoes have a range of activity within one to two kilometers of their birthplace.

However, in reality, mosquitoes can fly up to twenty kilometers a day!

This is absolutely fast, but many times, mosquitoes stay within one or two kilometers of their birthplace.

"After flying two kilometers for more than an hour, I finally feel like there are more houses in this area!"

Near a cluster of brightly lit buildings, Jia Yan controlled his body and slowed down his flying speed.

The human settlement in front of him should be a town.

At this time, there are still many pedestrians on the street, and the time should not exceed nine o'clock at night.

The feeling of this small town is very familiar to Jia Yan because his hometown is also a similar small town.

"Well, at least it's not abroad. Definitely on the land of China!"

Jia Yan really feared that he had been reborn abroad.

Although he heard the pedestrian cursing in Mandarin on the first day, Chinese people are everywhere globally, and who knows if that person was just a Chinese living abroad.

Jia Yan controlled his body and flew low!

The town is not big, with the main street only about two hundred meters long, and some shops are still open.

A woman holding a child is chatting with the shopkeeper in a store.

Judging from the accent, it sounds like a northern accent from China!

"Liaobei!" Jia Yan looked at the store's doorplate and made an accurate judgment.

Didn't expect to be reborn near a town in Liaobei. This place is quite far from Shanghai!

However... whether it's far or not, that's something to consider tomorrow. For now, let's solve the food problem!

Jia Yan's stomach protested fiercely, so he temporarily put aside the fact that Yu Yuan was far away.

He flew closer to the woman and child!

Jia Yan looked at the child, who was probably just over a year old, holding a can of a certain brand of pure milk, drinking it everywhere.

Jia Yan gathered his spirits, flapped his wings, and buzzed softly as he flew closer!

He didn't intend to bite the child!

How could he bite such a cute child!

Besides, even if he wanted to bite, he didn't know if his nascent and tender mouthparts could penetrate human skin.

Jia Yan's target was the milk spilled by the child on the table!

It's rare to hear of mosquitoes drinking milk, but Jia Yan decided to try it himself.

"Good boy, don't move..." Jia Yan cautiously flew closer.

Only when he got closer did he realize that the baby held by the woman was not a 'little' child but a 'huge' one!

Just now, when he almost peed himself after seeing a bat, now this baby, although still a baby, is probably many times larger than that bat. Its immature little hands could easily flatten ten Jia Yans with one slap!

"Wow, wow, gaga!" The little boy holding the milk carton saw Jia Yan and made startled noises.

"Don't make a fuss. Grandma will take you home to sleep later." The woman holding him quickly comforted the child.

The boy's language expression was not good. He was held by the woman, so he couldn't see the direction adults could see.

Otherwise, Jia Yan wouldn't dare to fly down boldly!

It seemed that this child had never seen such a huge mosquito since birth, and he was about to cry.

At this point, Jia Yan had already stopped near the spilled milk.

He shook his wings and, by the way, from breaking the cocoon to now, he had flown so far without touching the ground. It was exhausting, but if it weren't for his robust physique, who could fly two kilometers in one go?

Only him, Jia Yan!

Jia Yan looked up at the 'giant' little boy, whose drool seemed enough to drown him halfway.

He didn't hesitate anymore and extended his mouthparts towards the spilled milk!

"I'll be damned! What's this taste!"

A fishy smell reached his mouth, completely different from the milk humans are familiar with. Jia Yan found it unacceptable.

Pfft! He spat out the milk from his mouthparts.

"Can't eat this!" Jia Yan staggered and flew up from the table.

After eating something inedible, he felt even hungrier!

"Waaahhh—" At this moment, the child who had been brewing for a long time finally burst into tears.

Sorry!

Jia Yan flew out of the shop, with the sound of the woman comforting the child behind him.

"If possible, I really don't want to absorb that plant juice. Not only is it not nutritious, but it also requires getting close to plants, which poses a great risk of encountering predators!"

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. Jia Yan would rather flutter under the eyes of the humans who dominate the Earth than see those predators.

"The loss of nutrients can't be delayed. Do I really have to try sucking blood?"

Jia Yan flew at a height of

 three to four meters, hovering over the streets of the town.

Just as he was hesitating whether to try sucking blood...

Two figures stumbling on the road caught his eye!

"I'm telling you, Old... Old Li, I'm done in this life!"

"Alright! Stop talking. Let's go home! Come, I'll take you home!" Another middle-aged man was also dragging the first one, and the two were entangled.

Drunkards!

Jia Yan's eyes lit up!

The first bloodsucking experience just happened to be with them.

Jia Yan quietly landed again.

He was going to try for the second time!

"Old Li, do you think I'm finished in this life? I'm finished!" The first person was obviously drunker, and he was talking nonsense, almost crying.

Jia Yan's target was this person!

In his 'infrared' sensing eyes, this man's body was warm, and the smell of alcohol was somehow very attractive to him!

It seems that the rumors that drinking people attract mosquitoes more are true!

While the two were stumbling and talking, they didn't notice that a male Asian tiger mosquito, much larger than the average mosquito, lightly landed on the half-bald neck of the drunk man!

Thump, thump!

Jia Yan felt his tube-shaped artery-like 'heart' pounding violently. It was because he was too nervous!

If he accidentally, this half-bald man would slap him. If he was unlucky, he would have nowhere to bury himself!

Fortunately, this man was very drunk.

Jia Yan lay on his neck, and his six powerful legs grabbed his skin tightly!

Viewed enlarged, human skin is like a series of ridges with many pores on it. Jia Yan's fully evolved long legs can easily grip the surface of the skin.

There's no time to lose!

"Brother, I don't know if you're finished in this life, but my last life has already been ruined. And in this life, to survive, I can only drink your blood... I'm sorry! At least I won't infect you with any diseases."

Jia Yan had a strong sense of professional ethics and silently apologized in his heart.

Then, he slowly extended his mouthparts!

Success or failure depends on now!

When mosquitoes suck blood, they mainly rely on the upper and lower jaws at the front end of their mouthparts to pierce the skin. These upper and lower jaws need to be very strong to cut the skin and pierce the blood vessel!

And male mosquitoes cannot suck blood. Apart from being slightly weaker and smaller than females, one of the reasons is that their upper and lower jaws have severely degraded!

But Jia Yan didn't think his strength was inferior to female mosquitoes!

So, he wanted to give it a try!

After adjusting his posture and making sure his upper and lower jaws were ready to exert force.

Jia Yan aimed his mouthparts at the man's skin and gently stabbed down...
