Chereads / The Rise of the Blood Mosquito / Chapter 142 - Chapter 22: Slaughter in the Darkness!

Chapter 142 - Chapter 22: Slaughter in the Darkness!

"Uh..." The black mercenary's face turned pale for a moment, trembling as he tried to glance behind with his eyeballs.

However, with the human heart destroyed and blood unable to circulate, it was normal for someone to perish within seconds.

So his desire to see the killer who had taken his life was impossible to fulfill!

The tall black man fell forward!

And the sharp, blood-stained horn was withdrawn from his back!

Drops of blood fell, quickly staining the ground with crimson.

Jia Yan retrieved his weapon and then, with his compound eyes dimly glowing, surveyed the surroundings!

Apart from the fallen black man, three mercenaries were retreating, all authorized by Yu Long to withdraw.

However, these few individuals were spaced out, so amidst the cacophony of gunfire, none heard the sound of the black man falling!

Jia Yan's heart turned cold, his compound eyes gradually disappearing into the darkness once more!

The darkness was Jia Yan's best cover.

Humans had only two legs, but mosquitoes had six, allowing them to move silently by distributing the weight among their legs. So Jia Yan's movements were extremely stealthy!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Gunshots rang out. Among them was a mercenary of relatively short stature, appearing diminutive among the towering mercenaries, but his body was muscular. He carried a rifle and, sometimes crouching down for precise shots, always managed to inflict injuries on the Japanese police and Self-Defense Force personnel!

Up until now, this masked mercenary had possibly inflicted the most casualties among the Japanese personnel!

As he retreated, he continued his unbelievably accurate shooting, targeting the distant Japanese government forces!

His rate of fire wasn't fast; his forte lay in precision. A multiple-time champion of the F Mercenary Corps, his shooting was slow but extremely accurate.

However, behind this calm, precise shooter...

A dark figure emerged from the night!

It had an almost entirely black body, with tough gel-like clumps on its surface and an incredibly sturdy exoskeleton beneath. What was most unique were its compound eyes!

The compound eyes sparkled with intelligence, captivating anyone who looked into them, making one wonder if the owner of this body possessed intelligence!

Of course, the owner of this body indeed possessed intelligence!

He was a mosquito, but at the same time, a reincarnation endowed with human intelligence!

However, this reincarnation hadn't returned decades ago to become a darling of the era, nor had it crossed over to another world to become a supremely powerful figure!

It had started as an unlucky mosquito larva in its reincarnation and, through slow and arduous efforts, had eventually grown into the formidable mosquito it was now...

Yet, the larva, devoid of any combat capability, even fearing small water insects, had transformed into a creature that now faced bullets without flinching!

His body silent, Jia Yan approached behind the masked shooter.

But it seemed that the well-built man had sensed something in that instant!

He suddenly heard a faint sound behind him!

Hastily, he turned his head to look behind!

A huge mosquito!!

The well-built man had this thought flash through his mind!

Could this be the monster that Yu Long and the others had mentioned?!

Not good! He needed to warn Yu Long and the others quickly!

Just as the well-built man's mind raced with these thoughts...

A prepared foreleg of the black mosquito, raised high, descended swiftly from above!

Pshht!

The sharp, horn-like foreleg, with its thin blade, seemed like an invincible sword!

It pierced the man's throat directly!

His words were choked in his throat, never to be spoken!

"No..." The well-built man's expression turned to terror. Even the most composed person wouldn't remain calm in the face of death. Now, as he watched his blood dripping onto the ground and felt his life force draining away, he felt deep regret. Regret for participating in this operation. Regret for taking the large sum of money from Yu Long, enough to sustain him for at least ten years!

If only he had lived honestly. Life in that paradise-like F country would have been devoid of such dangers!

The well-built man finally closed his eyes in resignation. With his throat pierced, it was one thing, but with the major artery in his neck severed, blood couldn't reach his brain, leading to instant cerebral hypoxia and quick death!

Having killed several people, the mosquito Jia Yan gained a bit of understanding of killing and some experience in killing methods!

His body continued to fade into the darkness!

Of the four departing individuals, two were now dead.

The other two had left the combat zone and were heading towards the rocky path behind!

The police and Self-Defense Force personnel were swiftly closing in, surrounding the rocky area with blazing searchlights!

If they didn't leave soon, their chances of escape would diminish a hundredfold!

So the remaining two decided to retreat as well, eyeing the easterner, Yu Long, who produced an oval-shaped object from his pocket.
