1210 Run for Their Lives (1/2)

Under the attack of the mosquito army, the intimidating Fina, mature Old Time Tea, collected Famous, and chatty Vladimir were all forced to be frantically fleeing subjects.

They called out for help at first, but they ended up not even daring to open their mouths. The moment they did, hundreds of mosquitoes might just rush in. And it wasn't just their mouths—they didn't even dare to open their eyes too wide, as the mosquitoes might try to get underneath their eyelids!

Even the invisible Richard had been eyed by a small ball of mosquitoes. None of the warm-blooded animals were able to escape the mosquitoes' warm-blood radar at all. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Richard flapped its wings frantically in an attempt to escape but spread its smell out even more. Especially that butt that it never wiped clean helped the mosquitoes to confirm their target's location even better, and they made use of the small window of time when it was flapping its wings to squeeze underneath to its armpit area. That part had lesser feathers and was suitable for blood-sucking.

”Gah gah! Do you think I'm easy to bully? I'm usually vegetarian, but I'm feasting on meat today!” Richard purposefully called loudly, even opening its beak to peck at the mosquitoes swarming around its head. It did take the lives of a few mosquitoes due to how densely packed they were, but it had shed its cloak of invisibility due to its attack and ended up getting swarmed by even more mosquitoes.

Fina, Old Time Tea, Famous, and Vladimir all had a set of powerful skills, but they were just as flustered as Richard. It just further proved that using a cannon to kill mosquitoes was a waste of energy.

No matter how they swatted at them, the mosquitoes would always come back seconds later just as intensely. They might be able to kill tens of mosquitoes in one swat, but this was just a drop in the ocean compared to the tens of thousands of mosquitoes attacking them right now. They might collapse of tiredness before they could kill all the mosquitoes and end up as dried meat from being sucked dry…

They weren't able to have one second of breath, since these desert mosquitoes were too powerful. If there wasn't a good location to suck their blood, they might even land on fur, finding their way through their coats until their proboscis was able to inject into their skin and suck up their blood.

Galaxy had it the easiest out of all the elfins. The other elfins' pride had led them to choose not to back away when the mosquitoes first attacked them—they put out their claws to defend. But when the mosquitoes came flying towards Galaxy, it chose to run without a moment's hesitation.

”Meow! Meow!”

It ran around in circles at a speed that could rival light, insisting that as long as it ran fast enough, the mosquitoes wouldn't be able to catch up to it.

In the midst of the mess, Zhang Zian stood there, stock-still, like a statue.

He didn't have a thick coat to protect him like the elfins did, and he was right at the peak of his health. He should've been the prime target for the mosquitoes to feast on. He should've been the one who was getting bitten the worst, and the mosquito army did treat him as their biggest target. But weirdly, the mosquitoes would automatically move away after flying towards him, like a wave that met reef rocks. They would instead go around him and fly towards the elfins instead to attack them.

What was going on? Why were the mosquitoes not biting him?

Could it be…that they were afraid of the blood of the ancient gods that he actually had in his veins or the golden finger that defeated all other moves?

If not that, then what?

The intense sun had caused a thin layer of sweat to form on all his skin, more sweat dripping off his forehead. He wiped it off casually, taking a whiff of the faint minty smell on the back of his hand.

It had been almost half an hour since he had applied the cooling oil, and he had long forgotten about it. Thinking about it more now…could it be…that the Pinduoduo version of the best-seller cooling oil had mosquito-repellent properties?

These scarily cheap fake goods with unknown ingredients actually had such amazing effects? It seemed to be even more effective than the original version of the cooling ointment. God only knew what weird things they'd mixed into that!

Seeing that the elfins were all getting tired out, he had no more time to think about it. He took out the box of cooling ointment, applying even more onto every single inch of exposed skin.
