Late at night.
Yang Fan activated the Shuttle Boat, left Vig Town, and once again ventured into the desolate wilderness.
Just as he appeared.
"Buzz~"
The buzzing of countless Poisonous Mosquitoes' wings came from all directions.
Despite the temperature dropping to minus fifteen degrees, ordinary insects had frozen to death, yet the Poisonous Mosquitoes remained active.
Hundreds of nearby Poisonous Mosquitoes sensed Yang Fan's presence and immediately flew towards him.
Yang Fan muttered softly to himself, "It seems Poisonous Mosquitoes are evolving too."
He could see at a glance that compared to before, the sensing range of the Poisonous Mosquitoes had obviously increased.
This wasn't good news.
Originally, he thought that with the current technological level of the Canglan People, dealing with this Poisonous Mosquito crisis would be no problem.
But now it seems, this thought might have been too optimistic.
Poisonous Mosquitoes would keep evolving, and the crisis was far from over.
At this moment.
A larger Poisonous Mosquito flew over first.
This creature had a sharp proboscis that stuck directly toward Yang Fan's arm.
He didn't even need to look to know that the proboscis was aimed right at the thickest vein in his arm.
Due to venous blood pressure inside vessels, if this bite went through, the blood would automatically flow into the mouth of the mosquito.
It hardly needed effort to suck a considerable amount of blood.
The venom was injected into the venous blood vessel, causing more harm to the human body.
And a Poisonous Mosquito could bite directly into the vessel, which showed how formidable this creature was.
Yang Fan bent a finger, preparing to flick the mosquito's proboscis, making it understand the principle "not anyone can be bitten."
In that instant.
A flash of inspiration crossed his mind again: "Wait, can I possibly control the Poisonous Mosquitoes?"
Yang Fan had attempted this before.
He once used the Spirit Concealment Superpower to control a few Poisonous Mosquitoes, hoping to use this to command more of them.
Unfortunately, he failed.
To truly command a swarm of Poisonous Mosquitoes, one must grasp the special ability of mutated ones.
But the Soul Stealing Wisp couldn't extract superpowers from mutated Poisonous Mosquitoes.
At this very moment.
A burst of inspiration lit up in Yang Fan's mind: "Using the power of Life Decree, perhaps I can simulate the abilities of mutated Poisonous Mosquitoes."
Following his will.
A subtle, dark light gathered at his fingertip.
The light flickered and detached from his fingertip, hitting the Poisonous Mosquito.
In the next instant.
The mosquito shone briefly.
When the light disappeared.
It took on a completely different appearance.
Originally entirely black, now it surprisingly turned white.
Its wings became stronger, and its flying speed noticeably faster.
However.
It still couldn't be considered a mutated Poisonous Mosquito.
It merely gained a very special characteristic.
Yang Fan attempted to command, "Drive away the other Poisonous Mosquitoes!"
The white mosquito immediately executed the order.
"Buzz!"
It quickly circled around Yang Fan.
Then.
Something remarkable happened.
Within a 200-meter radius, the "buzzing" sound began to quickly fade away.
The Poisonous Mosquitoes flew away.
The white mosquito had successfully commanded the mosquitoes.
Yang Fan couldn't help but smile slightly, "Life Decree truly is a treasure."
He routinely checked his attributes.
The Spirit Value had grown due to the Life Decree feedback, increasing by 3 points, reaching a new high of 198 points.
The Life Elemental Power had officially risen to the 2000-point threshold.
Yang Fan issued another order, "Go! Go assist the Destroyer in annihilating the Carmenians' base!"
The white mosquito turned into an arrow and vanished in an instant.
"Whoosh~"
The cold wind howled past.
Yang Fan turned to look north, towards the direction of Mount of Gods.
He chuckled softly, "Mr. Demon, the Destroyer has gained yet another ability, can you still refrain from taking action?"
The so-called "demon" is a type of species from the Primordial World.
Demons are either fond of flesh or souls, making them a very ferocious kind.
Most demons gather and live in tribes, while quite a few prefer being wanderers, adventuring across the Primordial World.
The Winged Demon that appeared in the Blessed Land last time is one of the demons.
Demons have one most typical characteristic—that is, passing on a part of their memory through bloodlines.
Therefore, demons often grow very quickly, and generally have strong powers.
To each Civilization World, demons are a significant threat.
According to the information provided by the Mermaid, each year some Civilization Worlds are destroyed by demons.
Various civilizations refer to this disaster as—demon natural calamity.
Yang Fan had been gathering a lot of information through Spirit Communication Superpower during his time here.
He had roughly guessed the identity of the mysterious visitors to the Carmenia Federation—demons.
The Gameneans actually regarded a demon as an esteemed guest and engaged in many transactions with it, which truly widened his perspective.
*
A few kilometers away.
The Destroyer took down over a dozen helicopters and found a secret place to hide.
It had recovered more memories, aware that once discovered by the Carmenians, it would be killed.
"Buzz~"
Many Poisonous Mosquitoes whirled around the creature, frequently pricking the Destroyer with their needle-like proboscises.
But the creature's skin was exceptionally tough, the mosquitoes simply couldn't pierce through.
The Destroyer sat quietly for a while, suddenly opening his mouth to an astonishing angle, beginning to breathe deeply.
"Whew!"
The monster also used a power technique, inhaling to create a fierce gust.
Hundreds of poisonous mosquitoes around were sucked into its mouth instantly.
The Destroyer chewed a few times and swallowed the mosquitoes down.
Soon after.
Another swarm of poisonous mosquitoes gathered around.
The Destroyer inhaled again, swallowing many mosquitoes once more, happily chewing them.
"Burp!"
It let out a satisfied belch.
To humans, poisonous mosquitoes were fearsome creatures.
But to the Destroyer, mosquitoes were just a buffet.
Five minutes later.
"Buzz!"
A different kind of buzzing sound appeared nearby.
The Destroyer turned its head instantly, its tumor-like eyes immediately catching sight of a white poisonous mosquito.
It sniffed rapidly, dashed forward, and swallowed the mosquito whole.
Seconds later.
The Destroyer clutched its head with both hands, howling in pain.
It gasped a few breaths and stammered, "I...remember...my name is...Eric!"
A strange force helped it remember some of its past.
This monster remembered it was a sixteen-year-old student, kidnapped on the way home from school.
The Destroyer's voice was filled with deep hatred, "You...turned me into...a monster...I will kill...you."
It stood up with a "whoosh" and started striding towards the northeast.
The series of modifications and unimaginable pain Eric endured came from the base ahead.
"Buzz~"
Accompanied by a large buzzing sound.
Poisonous mosquitoes quickly gathered, forming a black cloud that enveloped the Destroyer.
It swallowed the white mosquito and naturally acquired the special ability to control the mosquito swarm.
Of course.
It wasn't the monster that comprehended this method.
But Yang Fan quietly helping the Destroyer.

Ailante Base.
On the surface, this seemed like a regular air force base, stationed with a Carmenia air squadron.
But few knew that beneath the base was an experimental facility.
Daniel wore a mosquito-proof suit, standing in the smoking booth at the elevator entrance of the subterranean lab, a cigarette clamped in his right hand.
The lab was full of smoke detectors, so he could only smoke in the booth on the ground.
"Buzz!"
A buzzing sound arose.
A dozen or so poisonous mosquitoes flew around the smoking booth, seemingly searching for a gap to get inside.
Through the transparent glass, one could clearly see their sharp proboscises.
Daniel glanced over, cursed, "I hate this damn place."
The base's remote location meant mosquitoes were unusually numerous.
Besides the mosquitoes, another reason for his foul mood was an incident at the base yesterday.
An experimental subject, under test, unexpectedly escaped from the lab, tearing the researchers present to pieces.
"Ugh!"
Daniel dry-heaved.
Even now, recalling the bloody scene left him with a strong sense of nausea.
He took a few drags of his cigarette, muttering softly, "Perhaps I should find a way to leave this hellhole."
As a researcher in the lab, Daniel had access to many secrets.
He was acutely aware of the dark underbelly of what was once Canglan Star's most powerful nation.
In short.
The Federation had already fallen.
A few seconds passed.
"Buzz~"
The buzzing from afar suddenly grew louder.
Daniel glanced over curiously, "Isn't the anti-mosquito system activated?"
So-called "anti-mosquito system" was a setup involving drones and radar.
This was a mosquito-fighting tactic pioneered by the Great Xia people.
A small radar detecting a large swarm would trigger an alert first.
A drone squadron would then be deployed to kill some and disperse the rest of the mosquitoes.
Due to its proven effectiveness in real-world tests, countries either imported from Great Xia or reversed-engineered their technology.
The Carmenia Federation opted for the latter.
Of course.
Unwilling to admit it, the Carmenians claimed it was a "100% proprietary and world-leading" anti-drone system.
The Great Xia people, not caring to argue, said nothing more.
A few seconds later.
The buzzing grew louder and louder.
Daniel finally sensed something was amiss.
By the light surrounding the airport, he could see with his eyes a layer of black clouds skimming the ground.
He froze, suddenly realizing what it was, feeling a chill down his spine.
The black cloud was clearly the mosquito swarm.
Using low-altitude flying, they avoided the mosquito detection radar.
As radar sweeping the ground generates much clutter.
Under normal circumstances, engineers used algorithms and other means to filter out the ground clutters for ground detection.
But mosquitoes were different.
They were simply too small in size.
With current technology, there's no way to differentiate mosquitoes.
Daniel cursed "damn it," turning and sprinting toward the elevator.
As he ran, he shouted: "Enemy attack!"
He wasn't an idiot, he naturally deduced that something must be controlling the mosquito swarm behind the scenes.
Otherwise, with the intelligence of mosquitoes, how could they figure out such a way to evade radar?
