1209 Sudden Attack (2/2)

”I'm afraid it is more than that.”

Zhang Zian was wearing sunglasses, so it was slightly better for him. Yet it was indeed very hot, so much so that he felt the high heat seeping into the soles of his feet. His feet felt like they were soaked in warm bags of water.

The temperature at the place where the sun was shining was estimated to be likely above 60 degrees. Yet the worst was yet to come.

Fina and Famous, as if poked by something, were shaking from head to toe, twisting their bodies and alternating waves of their paws.

”Get back in the car! Close the door!” Fina couldn't help but shout.

”There are a lot of mosquitoes!” Famous also shouted.

Richard screamed even more. ”Hey! Help! Help! We are under attack!”

Zhang Zian also realized that, when they left the car, countless mosquitoes emerged from cracks in the nearby rocks, and they were heading straight for them.

It was strange that the densely-populated city of Cairo had virtually no mosquitoes, while the sparsely-populated areas were teeming with them.

Generally, mosquitoes did not move about during the day—only in the early mornings and evenings. The mosquitoes here were different.

Mosquitoes that could survive in desert areas were fiercer than common mosquitoes. The idea was that there were not that many animals to feed from, so when they finally found one, the mosquitoes must suck as much blood as possible, and fast. If the animals didn't run off in time or find a good place to hide, they might even be entirely sucked dry.

The desert mosquitoes overwhelmed the elfins, and they focused on the fragile but capillary-rich parts of the body—nose, mouth, eyes, ears, and claws. It made the elfins very miserable. Once bitten, those places would be very itchy but unfortunately difficult to reach. They would not be able to scratch them.

The first to be attacked were Fina and Famous, as the other elfins were invisible. The main force of the mosquitoes rushed toward them. Other mosquitoes smelled the other elfins but couldn't see the elfins' bodies. They did not give up. They hovered around the invisible elfins, trying to approach and land.

The number of mosquitoes was simply too much. It was like a locust crossing. Two visible streams of what looked like black smoke rapidly approached Fina and Famous. They surrounded them with lightning speed, much like how demons appeared in ”Journey to the West.”

It was now too late to get back into the car. The mosquitoes would definitely follow, and in the narrow confinement of the car, there would be no way to deal with them.

Old Time Tea and Vladimir saw that Fina and Famous had been targeted, and their bodies were covered fully in mosquitoes. They decided to break stealth and emerge to join the fight. A swarm of mosquitoes changed targets immediately and headed for them.

As part of the mosquito army headed for Old Time Tea and Vladimir, the pressure on Fina and Famous was slightly reduced.

However, as the breeze dispersed the scent of the elfins to a greater distance, more mosquitoes smelled blood. Like a bloodthirsty great white, they rapidly rushed in, and before they knew it, all their ears could hear was the sound of the mosquitoes' buzz.
