The dazzling fire dragon opened its huge mouth and tore a hole in the dark army of mosquitoes.
But the mosquitoes seemed to be organized and disciplined, and they quickly learned to split up and act separately. The fire dragon was exhausted from chasing them in the air and soon lost ground.
The two teams quickly left the bedroom, using their supernatural abilities to slow down the mosquito army as they ran downstairs.
But these mosquitoes were flying so fast that just as they reached the stairwell, Shiraishi was knocked down by two swarms of mosquitoes.
"Help me!"
As a healing-type ability user, Shiraishi was inherently weak in defense. The mosquito's sharp proboscis pierced his flesh relentlessly, sucking him into immobility in just a couple of seconds.
Wu Hainan and Jiang Qichen tried to help Bai Shi up, but were immediately bitten on both hands by vicious mosquitoes.
The remaining groups huddled together, making several attempts to pounce on Lu Sheng, but were repeatedly forced back by Xu Yi's white phosphorus spear.
These mosquitoes seemed to have gained intelligence. After several unsuccessful raids, they learned to remain still, hovering menacingly in the air, keeping a close eye on everyone.
As Baishi visibly grew thinner, everyone present was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
In this situation, one would not dare to use supernatural abilities casually, nor would one dare to use strong insecticides and pesticides.
The mosquitoes have completely covered Shiraishi. If he doesn't control his powers well, Shiraishi might die before the mosquitoes do.
Seeing that Bai Shi was getting weaker and weaker, barely clinging to life, Han Rui suddenly mustered up her courage and crawled out from behind Zhang Xiaojuan.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xiaojuan growled and grabbed Han Rui's arm.
"I...I'll give it a try."
Han Rui took a deep breath and summoned a giant herbaceous plant with her palm facing upwards.
"What is this...?"
Everyone present looked at Han Rui with confusion.
"Citrus lemongrass contains citronellol and citral, which can repel mosquitoes and kill bacteria." Xu Yi frowned.
"Will it work?" Zhang Xiaojuan subconsciously looked at Lu Sheng.
On the other side, Han Rui's face was flushed with nervousness. She pursed her lips and hugged the lemongrass that was about as thick as her waist with both hands before plunging headfirst into the army of mosquitoes.
"The young lady has arrived! Everyone get out of the way!"
Han Rui rushed in, closed her eyes, and vigorously waved the huge lemongrass, shouting Sun Shangxiang's lines to cheer herself up.
She's been the team's mascot all along, but this morning she finally broke through to the fourth tier and can summon plants at will. She's determined to prove herself!
Surprisingly, the pungent smell of lemongrass has a significant effect on tiger mosquitoes.
As Han Rui waved her hand, the mosquitoes that had been swarming around Bai Shi, enjoying a buffet-like meal, finally flew away, unable to bear the disturbance any longer!
Taking advantage of the moment, Wu Hainan immediately pulled Bai Shi, who was barely alive, back to safety.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xiaojuan rushed over and pulled Han Rui, who was shaking grass with her eyes closed, back to reality.
Without worrying about Bai Shi, Lu Sheng and Xu Yi exchanged a glance, then pulled out their white phosphorus guns and quickly cleared the battlefield.
As a thick layer of dead mosquitoes fell to the floor, everyone was finally safe for the time being, collapsing onto the steps and panting heavily.
"Thank you, Xiaorui."
Bai Shi had lost a lot of weight from the drug, with only his head and eyelids swollen into balls. He squinted, his eyes now just thin slits, and immediately thanked Han Rui.
"Hey, it's nothing."
Having won her first battle, Han Rui's fair face flushed with excitement. She wiped her hands and then summoned two plump ginseng roots that looked like radishes.
"Here you go, eat more to nourish yourself, I just learned how to make this this morning."
"I'm hungry too!" Zhang Xiaojuan reached out and snatched a stick, then started crunching away.
"How dare you steal from a patient! Are you a dog?!"
Han Rui rolled her eyes at him and immediately gave Bai Shi an even stronger ginseng root.
Lu Sheng was about to get up when he suddenly felt a hard, foreign object behind his back, and something suddenly appeared in his hand.
Turning around, I found it was Xu Yi.
Xu Yi didn't speak, but turned to the side and made a few hand gestures in a position where only Lu Sheng could see him.
Lu Sheng's delicate eyebrows furrowed into a "川" shape, and she pursed her lips in surprise.
"Where exactly is Gu Die hiding?" Zhang Xiaojuan asked, stuffing the ginseng rootlets into the mouth of the rocket after finishing her ginseng.
Jiang Qichen's face flushed slightly. "Those mosquitoes were obviously controlled by someone. She should still be in this house."
Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed.
After a short rest, the two teams resumed their journey to find Gu Die.
Having learned from the experience of the mosquito attack, the two teams behaved themselves this time, not touching anything in the room, and moving to the next room if they couldn't see Gu Die.
Are these mosquitoes also blood servants?
On the way to the search, Sun Tiantian asked in a low voice.
Lu Sheng shook her head. She had just kept one alive to check it, and the mosquito did not have any bloodstains.
"Gu Die must have the ability of a worm master."
Being able to control fifth-order mutated insects and command so many mosquitoes to attack them, Gu Die clearly possesses a rare insect-based superpower.
Mushishi, like Blood Pacters, are considered very rare superpowers. It's unexpected that such a small place as West Market would gather such a formidable group of talents.
"Ugh... Controlling bugs is disgusting just thinking about it." Han Rui and Sun Tiantian both grimaced.
The Gu family manor was so huge that both teams were sweating slightly from walking, and they still hadn't found half of it.
"There's a cellar here!"
When Wu Hainan went around to the back of the villa, he suddenly made a discovery.
The soil at the cellar entrance was still fresh, clearly indicating that it had just been dug.
"Sweetie, you and Han Rui wait at the door." Lu Sheng handed the compound crossbow to Sun Sweetie, then turned and quickly went into the cellar.
On the other side, Jiang Qichen entrusted Bai Shi to Sun Tiantian and quickly followed Lu Sheng.
The dim, damp underground corridor reeked of mildew. Several people cautiously moved forward, feeling their way along the walls, when suddenly a gasp came from behind them.
"Something grabbed my foot!" Kobayashi stopped in his tracks and shouted nervously.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to turn around, his foot suddenly slipped.
Bang!
She bent down and landed on the solid stone floor, her vision blurred by darkness.
"Lu Sheng! Are you there?"
Jiang Qichen's voice came from the darkness.
Two seconds later, a faint flame appeared in the darkness. Jiang Qichen walked over, holding a windproof lighter, his brow furrowed.
"Are you alright? The ground suddenly caved in, and everyone else disappeared!"
Lu Sheng coldly stared at the tall figure before him, and instantly drew his gleaming Tang sword, pressing it against Jiang Qichen's abdomen.
"Stop acting."
She tossed out a fog light, illuminating the dark basement as if it were daytime.
"What are you saying?" Jiang Qichen stood frozen in shock.
"You are the Blood Pact Holder." Lu Sheng's cold voice was exceptionally clear in the cramped underground room.
Jiang Qichen was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile. "Why do you insist on exposing me?"
