Is this really how it's going to end?

I still find it hard to believe that these Haru would be so obediently killed by the giant mosquitoes, but I really can't think of any way to escape under these circumstances.

Even if it were me, armed with a shotgun in Haru's situation, I would have absolutely no chance of escape, because their numbers were simply too great and their formations too dense.

etc!

A flash of lightning struck my mind: quantity...dense...

Could it be density?

I stared in shock at Haru, who was attracting all the giant mosquitoes in the vicinity to feast on them. This seemingly reckless behavior was actually the real killer move against the swarm of giant mosquitoes!

They wanted to wipe out all the giant mosquitoes at once!

Even I was shocked by this audacious idea. What a joke! These are nearly a million giant mosquitoes! I couldn't even do that with a shotgun, how could they possibly do it!

Meanwhile, the giant mosquito swarm seemed ready to feast. Even though the "fairy wand" in Haru's hand was still burning, they didn't care about a tiny spark.

Now those Haru are just delicacies on the table, and the burning sparklers are just candlelight to set the mood.

The swarm of giant mosquitoes, no longer hesitant, knew there were far more mosquitoes than porridge available. These few Haru were definitely not enough to go around, and whoever secured a spot first would get an extra tube of blood.

They pounced on the Haru on the ground like vicious dogs, but at that moment all the Haru stopped moving. Then we all saw them seemingly pour something into their mouths.

Damn it, do these guys need to drink to bolster their courage when they're about to die?

Just as we were thinking this, the swarm of giant mosquitoes had already pounced on Haru's face, coming within inches of him.

This scene made our hearts tighten; it seemed as if the image of a body instantly transforming from plump to dried-up was about to unfold.

In that split second, one by one, Haru, whose mouth was swollen like a toad after drinking some unknown substance, suddenly raised the half of the fairy wand in his hand to his mouth.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff……"

As the continuous sound of water spraying rang out, something magical happened the instant that Haru sprayed out the unknown liquid and it came into contact with the fairy wands in their hands!

Streams of fire shot straight up from the mouths of these Haru, instantly transforming them into fire-breathing gourds from the Calabash Brothers.

Those giant mosquitoes were already in a hurry, so they couldn't stop themselves now.

The first group of mosquitoes preparing to eat ran directly into several pillars of fire, each nearly two meters high. The liquid ignited immediately upon contact with the giant mosquito swarm.

Haru spewed fire very quickly, spraying all the liquid in their hands onto the giant mosquitoes in a few gulps.

The swarm of giant mosquitoes was already extremely close together, and the giant mosquitoes in front instinctively tried to retreat when they caught fire.

However, the giant mosquitoes that came into contact with the unknown liquid were like those doused with gasoline; the fire spread instantly.

Then a textbook-perfect chain reaction unfolded before our eyes: the giant mosquito in front only moved a small step backward, and the giant mosquito behind, unable to stop either, immediately crashed into it.

At this moment, with the air currents disturbed by the flapping wings of numerous giant mosquitoes, the wind fueled the fire, and the intense and dazzling flames directly turned half the sky red.

The wings of those giant mosquitoes, like those of the giant dragonflies, were originally extremely flammable. With the help of the high-oxygen atmosphere and those mysterious flammable liquids, they directly caused a spectacular fire that spread throughout the camp.

We were all stunned for a moment. These guys were really fierce. They actually thought of gathering all the giant mosquitoes together and then using fire to cover and strangle them over a large area.

This scene came quickly and went quickly.

From the moment the first swarm of giant mosquitoes was ignited by the fire to the entire swarm being engulfed and set ablaze, the whole process took only a few minutes.

In those few short minutes, hundreds of thousands, even millions, of giant mosquitoes, still carrying bright sparks, fell from the sky like a meteor shower.

Many of the giant mosquitoes only had their wings burned off and did not die immediately. After landing, they panicked and crawled away.

However, without the advantage of air, the speed of these giant mosquitoes crawling on the ground is simply not impressive.

Haru, already armed with sticks, bone knives, and other weapons, physically exorcised the giant mosquitoes that had fallen and were trying to escape.

Besides performing rituals to help them pass on, Haru picked up some giant mosquitoes that had been burned black and stuffed them into his mouth. Judging from the way they ate them with such enjoyment, it was clear that these guys weren't picky eaters.

This is understandable, though. They had just run for so long and their energy was greatly depleted. If they didn't get food in time, they would risk starving to death.

Then another group of Haru emerged from the woods to their left. They weren't in a hurry, as if they were used to this kind of thing.

At that moment, I noticed that all the Haru who came to reinforce were carrying a bag woven from tree bark.

Calling them bags isn't quite accurate; these things look more like the kind of net bags about the thickness of a finger.

We initially thought these Haru were reinforcements, but it turns out they were just reinforcements sent to clean up the battlefield.

This is evident from their unhurried gait as they walked; they were clearly on vacation, not on a rescue mission.

At that moment, I searched my memory for some related liquid accelerants and roughly figured out what these mysterious liquids were.

In the rainforest, the only liquid that can burn like gasoline is the liquid secreted by the "gasoline tree".

"Gasoline tree" is just its common name; the full name of this peculiar tree species that grows in tropical rainforests is the Brazilian gum tree.

The guar gum trees here are not the same fruit trees that produce bananas, which are commonly eaten in China.

The guar gum tree is a very distinctive plant.

It is a tall tree with a thick trunk that can reach a circumference of one meter. Every six months, locals drill small holes in the trees to collect 15 to 20 liters of "gasoline" from each tree.

Its secreted sap molecules and chemical properties are similar to diesel fuel, so it can be used directly as diesel fuel without refining. When injected into the fuel tank of a diesel engine car, the car can run normally.

This is why the gum tree is called the gasoline tree. This tree species, which has extremely high economic value, is widely planted in many plantations in Brazil.

The presence of guar gum trees here is not unexpected, but we have never discovered this type of tree before.

It is likely that the tree was discovered by the Haru tribe living here. As for how they knew to use the sap of the sap tree as fuel to fight giant mosquitoes, it is probably closely related to their innate curiosity.

This is somewhat similar to the earliest period of human evolution, where experience was gradually gained through curiosity.
