The giant mosquito wouldn't know what kind of world it would face when it woke up.
Prosperity, or decay?!
It didn't know!
For now, it remained focused, quietly immersed in its slumber, paying no heed to the outside world.
Time passed quickly, especially as chaos escalated outside.
In the depths of the ocean, the mysterious substance finally began to change!
Jia Yan felt his consciousness gradually becoming clearer.
He could sense his own body.
Familiar, yet unfamiliar!
"It seems to have become extremely powerful, but because of this power, it actually feels strange to the body! How much change must have occurred to lead to this!"
Jia Yan felt his body.
Firstly, there was a sense of strength!
Strength flowed endlessly like a spring, surging from within.
This sense of strength was fundamentally different from before!
Previously, strength was merely a familiar feeling, even though it couldn't be compared to human strength. However, waking up this time, feeling his own strength, there was a hint of unfamiliarity!
This feeling wasn't an illusion but a loss of measure for Jia Yan regarding his current strength, entering a realm even his human soul couldn't comprehend!
As for how strong he had become, that would have to wait until he broke free from his 'cocoon' to truly experience it!
Relative to the change in strength, there was also a change in defense!
The defense level of the azure substance seemed to have spread throughout his entire body. However, Jia Yan noticed that his external appearance hadn't turned into a pure azure color. Instead, it had become a black color with a hint of azure.
Overall, it was mostly black.
But this black mixed with azure defense was no less effective than the complete azure defense before.
Jia Yan felt that his current defense was definitely much stronger than before, perhaps even stronger than when the azure substance appeared on his exoskeleton!
Of course, there might still be some difference compared to the crystallization of that azure substance.
To see the specific effects, he would have to wait until he completely broke free from the cocoon!
The deep sea around him remained silent, with many small fish and shrimp hovering around the mysterious substance coalesced by Jia Yan.
Finally, at a certain moment, Jia Yan, within the mass of tissue, felt an unprecedented surge!
This surge made Jia Yan understand that it was time for him to break out of the cocoon!
Then, he saw the giant mosquito slowly extend its front legs in the pitch-black scenery before him...
The sharp and pointed front legs seemed no different from before!
As Jia Yan extended his front legs...
Pop!
The hard mysterious substance in front of him seemed like an overinflated balloon! With a light crack, a crack appeared!
Then, the crack rapidly expanded. It became a spiderweb-like pattern spreading in all directions!
Jia Yan's compound eyes finally saw a glimmer of light. This light emanated from the tip of his front legs' blade-like keratin. The darkness in his eyes quickly dissipated!
Then, Jia Yan saw that the crack in front continued to expand. Bits of impurities peeled off from the crack, followed by more and more impurities falling off!
Whoosh!
Under high pressure, seawater seemed to have found a vent, rushing in quickly through the gap created by the crack.
The crack grew larger and larger. Before long, the world in front of Jia Yan was completely illuminated!
The external sea water was hundreds of meters deep, and the high-pressure seawater immediately filled the entire space with heavy seawater!
The pressure of hundreds of meters of seawater instantly oppressed Jia Yan's entire body!
However, hundreds of meters of seawater pressure was not a significant threat to Jia Yan!
After all, his defense level had already reached a monstrous level even before the mutation. Now, after the mutation, the pressure from hundreds of meters of seawater was really not threatening!
Instead, the depth of the seawater, where the surrounding was filled with anoxic conditions, might be even more dangerous!
At this moment, Jia Yan felt a bit nervous!
Before, he was hiding in the mass of tissue formed by the coagulation. Although it seemed like he was in a state of almost no breathing, it was not really breath-holding. But now, with seawater pouring in, it was impossible for him to breathe.
Jia Yan feared that he might end up like other mosquitoes, whose larvae should have been able to survive in the water but couldn't survive after turning into mosquitoes!
It had been proven before that he could swim. But at that time, it was only a short swim. But now, he was directly in the deep sea, without a trace of oxygen, which made him nervous!
Gurgling!
The sound of seawater pouring into the mass of mysterious substance was very clear.
Then, Jia Yan felt his body react to the seawater in an instant!
A kind of azure substance appeared on the surface of his body, seeming to have the ability to decompose the seawater, causing bubbles to appear around him!
Jia Yan felt that with the appearance of these bubbles, his 'respiratory organs' seemed to be able to obtain oxygen.
The oxygen concentration was extremely high!
It immediately filled Jia Yan's body with strength!
The giant mosquito smiled inwardly.
Jia Yan speculated whether this was because he was mutating underwater, and the mutation instinctively gave him the ability to breathe underwater. Or perhaps, it was some effect of the azure crystal and azure liquid?
The question was unsolvable, as Jia Yan didn't even know what the azure crystal and semi-solid were. Thinking about it now was unrealistic.
The pressure from the seawater became ineffective due to the super-strong body of the giant mosquito.
The pressure from hundreds of meters of seawater was actually very terrifying. If it were a human-made machine or even a small car, it would have been crushed!
But for Jia Yan, this pressure was almost negligible.
A slender limb stretched out from the shattered substance!
The fish and shrimp nearby seemed startled and quickly retreated.
Then, the creature continued to extend its limbs one by one until its entire body was revealed in the seawater!
In the depths of the sea, apart from the giant fish and octopuses, there were hardly any creatures as massive as this!
Moreover, the appearance of this creature was completely different from those giant creatures!
Terrifying, with a hint of madness!
It seemed like the strongest being in the world had come to rule over these weaker creatures in the depths of the sea!
It had six long legs.
These legs were extremely long, each twice the length of the body!
Even the shortest front legs were six meters long!
However, the most frightening thing was the presence of sharp and pointed keratin on the tip of the shortest front leg. These keratin structures resembled real steel blades, with lengths reaching over thirty centimeters. The edges shimmered with a colorful light, as if they were top-grade swords tempered countless times!
Compared to its legs, the body of this giant creature didn't seem that large, but in the depths of the ocean, it was still one of the top powerhouses!
At this moment, the body of the giant mosquito was already two and a half meters long, covered with a faint black exoskeleton armor with a hint of azure color. Overall, it gave the impression of an indestructible top-tier defense!
His ethereal gleaming compound eyes continued to survey the surroundings, as if reflecting countless worlds within each tiny facet, shrouded in utmost mystery.
On either side of his body, long slender wings grew, but their current state was no longer as it once was!
The wingspan was approximately two meters each, draped across the surface of his body, resembling a warrior ready to unleash, eager to burst into action! Just by looking at them, one could tell that this pair of wings possessed astonishing flight speed!
Moreover, the surface of the entire wing membrane was adorned with patches of azure scales, whose beauty was truly remarkable. However, for those who truly understood the function of the azure substance for the giant mosquito, it would surely be a source of astonishment!
The defense provided by these wings was absolutely astonishing!
Furthermore, the true function of the azure substance, which was fully manifested within the giant mosquito's body, was beyond the speculation of others!
Even Jia Yan himself was extremely curious at this moment, wondering what effects these azure substances would have now.
And just at that moment, the giant mosquito, which should have belonged to the sky, finally emerged from the mysterious substance!
With a length of two and a half meters, and with its six elongated legs spread out, the giant mosquito occupied a terrifying ten-meter-wide expanse of the deep sea!
At this moment, the giant mosquito was truly a giant mosquito!
A super gigantic mosquito!
Jia Yan looked satisfied as he surveyed his own body. The feeling of being super gigantic brought him a sense of unbelievable strength and confidence!
"Haha, comfortable! With this kind of power, this kind of defense, even if there are fighter jets coming at me, even if there are air-to-air missiles, I'm not afraid at all!"
Jia Yan didn't know how powerful he was now, but just feeling his own body like this, he knew that he had indeed become stronger, much stronger!
Perhaps the magnitude of this upgrade was the greatest he had experienced since he reincarnated as a mosquito!
In the distant sea, a fierce and cold gaze was fixed on this seemingly reborn giant mosquito!
It was none other than the six-gill shark that had been taught a lesson under the enveloping substance of the giant mosquito!
Perhaps this shark was inhabiting the nearby sea area, and upon smelling the fresh scent of blood and flesh, it rushed over directly!
The newly born giant mosquito emitted an enticing scent. This scent was simply irresistible to a carnivorous shark!
So it came!
"Hmm? Isn't this the shark that wanted to eat me before? Although I haven't seen its appearance, its thermal energy has been imprinted in my memory."
"So it's a six-gill shark. No wonder it's so ferocious. It's one of the largest carnivorous overlords in the deep sea."
At the same time, Jia Yan also saw a shark with a length of three and a half meters not far away!
Just as he was observing the shark, the six-gill shark on the opposite side suddenly moved!
It was charging towards Jia Yan!
