The opponent was simply too strong, to the point where no matter how one thought about it, there was no way to resist!
"But what I'm thinking now is that he's unbeatable in his normal state! This UFO must have some tricks up its sleeve! Its presence at that human research institute is a huge mystery, and I could sense that it was wary of me before revealing its true form. Otherwise, it wouldn't have bothered fighting me so fiercely!"
"Of course, it's possible that it's not the UFO itself that's fighting me, but... its pilot?!"
"But now is not the time to dwell on this. I shouldn't continue fighting it until I've figured out its secrets or had the chance to do so!"
Jia Yan finally concluded. Actually, he felt that there was a gain even in this Qinghai Lake encounter. He had obtained two pieces of that metallic substance, which still fascinated him. So, he was certain that these two pieces of metal would definitely benefit his next mutation!
"The attraction these two pieces of metal hold for me is no less than that of the black liquid I obtained initially. So, they can serve as the primary catalyst for my next mutation, while the remaining basic mutagenic substances..."
Jia Yan, ignoring his injured wings, continued to fly in the air! The fierce determination in his compound eyes was striking!
Seeing an opponent he couldn't possibly imagine fighting against, Jia Yan's attacks filled him with a sense of helplessness. But this also fueled his desire to evolve into something stronger!
He had already planned out his next steps!
Using these two pieces of metal as the primary catalyst, supplemented by a large amount of another type of evolutionary substance as a foundation for auxiliary evolution. He was ready to put his next mutation on the agenda!
As for what the next evolutionary substance would be, wasn't it obvious?
It would be the bluish-gray pebbles from the bodies of the metallic monsters!
He had already planned to use the bluish-gray pebbles as the main nutrient for his next mutation. And he had calculated that even without other substances, just having the bluish-gray pebbles would probably be enough to trigger his next mutation!
However, if that were the case, the effects of the mutation might not be very pronounced! So, Jia Yan had come to Qinghai Lake seeking an opportunity for his next mutation, spurred by the information about the two killers!
Though the opportunity had been found, the process was far from smooth. There was an incredibly powerful UFO in this place that almost took Jia Yan's life.
However, even with a little twist, Jia Yan still achieved his goal of obtaining the primary catalyst for his mutation. Moreover, the attack from the UFO filled him with renewed vigor!
Now, how powerful he had become didn't matter.
Just a few months ago, Jia Yan was nothing more than a mosquito that could be swatted with a slap!
He believed that as someone who had already embarked on the path of mutation, he would one day reach a level where even this UFO couldn't harm him!
Jia Yan's compound eyes gleamed with determination.
The speed of the large mosquito in the air increased even further!
Heading back south!
After all, the weather in the north was still cold. Since his next plan involved battling numerous metallic monsters, he needed to find a favorable environment. It was impossible to fight these metal monsters in such a cold place!
Moreover, heading south would allow him to be closer to his family and provide assistance if needed, which was also very convenient!
So, he began his journey back!
As for the Qinghai Lake incident, let it be!
However, what Jia Yan didn't know was that shortly after he left Qinghai Lake, an hour later, as he flew at breakneck speed, covering seven hundred kilometers in an hour, away from the area!
A wave of human military forces composed of crowds was rapidly approaching the location of the research institute.
Each of these people was equipped with powerful technological weapons. Their code names couldn't be found in the official combat sequences of China, but their actual combat capabilities were terrifying!
They were the equivalent of China's most powerful secret forces!
Leading this force was none other than the several Chinese soldier kings Jia Yan had encountered before!
They totaled more than a thousand people, and their combat effectiveness was even more formidable than the anti-aircraft forces that had confronted Jia Yan on that fateful night!
The appearance of these people was meant to deal with the giant mosquito monster. Even if they couldn't kill it, they had to drive it away from the area. After all, this research institute was an extremely secret and important place for China, with many valuable secrets and equipment.
So, this secret force was mobilized!
They carried a large number of advanced weapons, which had been evaluated to be capable of driving away the giant mosquito even if they couldn't kill it, as long as they didn't fear death!
This was China's only option!
Originally, it was thought that the giant mosquito would only stay at the research institute for a short time. Even if it meant suspending operations at the institute for a while, it wouldn't matter. After all, China was already engaged in a major battle with the metal monsters, and they simply didn't have the manpower to deal with the giant mosquito.
But unexpectedly, the giant mosquito refused to leave the institute!
What if it caused damage to the precious equipment and research subjects nearby?!
That's why this military force was deployed!
However, almost all of them were elite soldiers, and none of them had expected that just an hour before their arrival, the giant mosquito they were supposed to deal with had already fled the scene in embarrassment!
And when this military force arrived at the ruins outside the research institute and saw the terrifying scene caused by the explosion of the bluish-gray pebbles, each of them was speechless with horror!
If the giant mosquito had caused this, their entire army might have been wiped out!
These were all elite soldiers, and their faces showed extreme embarrassment!
But at that moment, a message came over the communication channel!
The soldier leading the team's expression changed immediately upon hearing the voice on the radio. Clearly, he was somewhat pleased!
After listening, he turned to the people around him and said, "Stop worrying, the radar just detected the giant mosquito leaving Qinghai Lake. It's flying south at a speed of about seven hundred kilometers per hour!"
"Really?" A soldier looked at the temporary commander. Although these people were all from different military units, they were in awe of these soldier kings. It was said that these brave Chinese soldier kings had played a part in defeating the so-called 'monster horde' from Wa country for many years!
So, these people were all convinced.
However, they didn't know that the 'horde' had not died at the hands of these soldier kings but at the hands of the giant mosquito they hadn't dealt with!
It was because China wanted to boast its military prowess that the death of the 'horde' had been attributed to several brave Chinese soldier kings who had united to kill it!
"A bunch of rookies! Getting excited just because the enemy's gone!" The soldier king was actually pleased, but at this moment, he laughed and scolded the soldiers.
Actually, the giant mosquito's recent reputation in China was quite good. There had even been incidents where it indirectly saved many civilians by fighting metal monsters in the south. So, they weren't really keen on fighting the giant mosquito.
Moreover, the giant mosquito's combat power was extremely strong. If they really fought it, how many of the thousand soldiers would have to die to drive it away? No one dared to imagine!
But just as these elite soldiers were relieved that they didn't have to fight for their lives!
"You guys, look at that!?"
A soldier who had gone to inspect the ruins suddenly pointed at a huge, shining object in the collapsed ruins of the tall building and exclaimed!
And just as the soldier pointed and yelled!
Pew pew pew!!!
Faint white beams of light suddenly burst forth from the dark corners where the object was located!
Countless beams of light lit up at this moment!
These beams of light seemed very thin and weak. If used against the giant mosquito, they might not even break through its outer layer of condensed defense!
But against humans, it was a formidable weapon!
One by one, these elite soldiers swiftly and ruthlessly slaughtered them with their light beams!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A group of highly skilled Chinese soldiers who had already relaxed shouted in panic!
"What is this..." But when they saw the object slowly emerging from the darkness, each of them had the same expression as Jia Yan when he saw the object!
Could it be... a UFO?!
The soldiers' expressions changed drastically!
After all, for humans on Earth, a UFO was like a mythical legend.
But who could have imagined that it would appear so vividly before their eyes!
"Don't be afraid. This thing was mentioned in the report. It's just an object obtained by the research institute. We can defeat it. Open fire! Shoot it down!"
The soldier king shouted loudly over the communication channel!
One by one, the soldiers, some of whom were powerful contenders for future soldier king positions, picked up their advanced weapons brought with them and began to fight against this seemingly suspicious flying object!
As for the outcome of this battle, it would depend on the performance of the soldiers next!
