Human vision is actually most blurry at dusk.
Before fully adjusting from the previous brightness, one enters a dim world, causing temporary night blindness in many people.
And Jia Yan chose this moment to descend.
He didn't know if the people of Wa would suffer from night blindness, but darkness was his best cover anyway.
Whoo...
A faint breeze murmured by his 'ears'.
This exotic sound didn't seem particularly special.
Whoo...
Jia Yan continued his descent.
With a wingspan of two meters, his figure appeared pitch black against the dark sky, blending seamlessly into the darkness, making it extremely difficult to detect him!
Among the three mercenaries, two were tall white men, while the other looked Eastern.
It seemed that the two white men were taking orders from the Easterner.
"They can't run far. When we find them later, don't kill them directly. I want to avenge myself!" The Eastern man's face was grim as he looked around and spoke to the two tall white men.
"Okay, we'll do as you say, boss!" The two white men glanced at each other and responded indifferently with cold smiles.
The Eastern man glanced at the two, seeing coldness and a hint of killing intent in their eyes.
It was understandable. He had controlled them with his methods. Although he believed they would have accepted his mission willingly, he didn't like the feeling of being out of control. So he had drugged them.
Fortunately, so far, these people had cooperated well. But he wondered if they would turn against him after avenging his uncle and cousin. That was a problem for later.
But for now, it was uncertain whether they could escape from Wa.
Yes, this man was the leader of the mercenaries on this mission, the one who had assaulted Jia's father and caused his leg to be broken—Yu Long!
A giant mosquito's body slowly descended not far from these three men.
Having mastered a new way of flying, Jia Yan was no longer limited by the noisy flapping of wings. He now glided silently without vibrating his wings.
Whoo!
The massive figure swept gently over the rocky beach.
"What's that?!" One of the former white mercenaries seemed to catch a glimpse of the scene from the corner of his eye!
Before this person could take a closer look, the black object landed behind a large reef over a hundred meters away, disappearing from view.
"What's wrong?" Yu Long, whose face resembled Yu Yuan's by eighty percent, frowned and asked.
"Nothing, probably just a seabird." The white man looked strange.
It looked like a bird, but it was rare to see such a large seabird. What else could it be besides a bird?
And this flying creature seemed entirely black, blending seamlessly into the darkness. If not for his good eyesight, he might have missed it!
But it was just a seabird, nothing to think too much about.
The white man shrugged indifferently, no longer paying attention to the flying creature dozens of meters away.
If he knew that this flying creature was heading towards them, he might not have thought so!
Click. He gently put down the notebook bag hanging on his neck.
Jia Yan placed his notebook, which he had carried with him, in a concealed spot several hundred meters from the battlefield. After all, he couldn't risk damaging the computer he had worked so hard to obtain during the fight!
After placing the notebook safely, the giant mosquito stood up.
With six strong legs firmly gripping the ground, his body was hard and powerful, with layers of solidified blocks on the surface of the exoskeleton, far exceeding twenty centimeters in size.
And inside these blocks, there was a metallic sheen...
Even Jia Yan's entire body contained metallic substances. Several kilograms of metal exoskeleton had been melted into his body. His entire body could be said to be half flesh and half metal, as hard as iron!
A giant mosquito from the twenty-centimeter era could block bullets with just its solidified defense!
Now, his defense was unimaginably powerful. Jia Yan himself couldn't imagine to what extent it had become!
"And my strength. The keratinized claws I used before could even penetrate the armor of a fighter jet. Such power and sharpness far exceed what this level of body should have. I'm filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle!"
Jia Yan's compound eyes gleamed softly as he slowly extended his head from behind the reef...
The current situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined.
He had told the two killers before that if the forces deployed by the Wa government were too strong, he would choose to abandon the rescue.
Although it sounded cruel, after all, these two killers had helped him a lot.
But things couldn't be calculated like that!
If it weren't for Jia Yan later hearing that these two killers had been targeted by this group of mercenaries to save his family, he might not have helped them at all!
Because what the two had done for Jia Yan before, although significant, was more transactional. And the computer and metal exoskeleton he gave them afterward weren't a big deal to them either.
Jia Yan understood this, so the help he promised before was made under the condition that he wouldn't endanger himself.
But in this situation, because these two had risked their lives to help his family, he couldn't think about whether he would be exposed or not!
After all, he had already been exposed on Dawei Island!
Since he was exposed, he might as well expose himself more thoroughly!
As he slowly stepped out from behind the reef with his six long legs, he pondered.
The current scene wasn't as exaggerated as he had expected!
He wasn't sure if the reinforcements from Wa hadn't arrived yet, but they were completely suppressed by this group of mercenaries.
In this case, he thought that even if he went out, there was a good chance of escaping even if he was surrounded!
"Very well... Since the chance is high, I'll go out. As for those two, I'll use infrared vision to find them..."
Jia Yan's compound eyes gleamed softly as he activated his tactile senses to detect areas with dense carbon dioxide.
He looked out at the outside world. Soon, he 'saw' two human heat sources and the carbon dioxide they exhaled a few dozen meters away!
"Found them?" Jia Yan smiled slightly, feeling that these two didn't seem to be seriously injured, and his heart relaxed slightly.
"After this time, my identity might be noticed by them. Anyway, the favor has been repaid, so let's stop contacting them in the future. But without them, many things will become inconvenient."
He shook his head, not thinking too much anymore. The current situation was the most important thing, and whether he would be exposed later was a problem for later!
"Now... let's fight!!!"
Jia Yan's compound eyes stared at the three former mercenaries who were still searching.
His wings flapped slightly...
Buzz...
"Did you hear something?"
Despite Jia Yan minimizing the noise from flapping, the three former mercenaries still noticed it!
The three men became alert!
Whoo!!—
As the three men stared in that direction, a giant flying creature with a wingspan of two meters rose into the sky!
The light was too dim, and the three men only saw a bird-like creature flapping from the reef pile into the air.
"It's just a bird," Long Yu sighed deeply.
But just as he let out his breath, suddenly, a white companion shouted loudly,
"Be careful!"
Afterwards, Long Yu felt a violent gust of wind blowing towards his cheek!
