Chapter 154: Aggressiveness Test of the Thunder Light Dragonfly

A milky-white Barrier appeared in the air.

The entire Arena was a bit larger than a basketball court; Ye Bai had set up over a dozen high-definition cameras in the Arena for the purpose of recording the combat power of the Thunder Light dragonflies, and these recordings would serve as powerful evidence.

Secretary Liang took out a large Beast Card; this type of Beast Card is specifically used to store a large number of small-sized Exotic Beasts.

After discovering the light-chasing characteristic of Dark Night Mosquitoes, capturing them is actually quite convenient.

One only needs a light source to attract a large number of Dark Night Mosquitoes, and as long as the Beast Card is activated at this time, a large quantity of them can be captured.

This type of Beast Card, which can capture Exotic Beasts below the third rank, finds it as easy as pie to capture Dark Night Mosquitoes, which are zero-rank Exotic Beasts.

Secretary Liang threw this Beast Card into the Barrier.

A buzzing sound came from the Beast Card, and the sound became louder and louder.

This was the buzzing sound produced by the rapid vibration of the Dark Night Mosquitoes' wings; from being barely audible at first, it gradually became quite piercing, just as if an infrasound instrument had been turned on.

Dense swarms of Dark Night Mosquitoes rushed out from the Beast Card; they seemed to converge from all directions, forming an airtight black cloud that slowly and firmly shrouded the entire sky of the Arena.

The quantity was so large that it looked like a pitch-black mass, and quite a few Dark Night Mosquitoes even touched the Barrier, causing a milky-white light shield to appear.

The Barrier had no offensive capability; its main function was to trap the Dark Night Mosquitoes so they could not easily escape.

If a person with trypophobia saw such a large number of Dark Night Mosquitoes, they would likely fall into a state of panic immediately.

A single Dark Night Mosquito is not scary; their bodies are extremely fragile, and a human could even turn one into a puddle of pus and blood with a wave of their hand.

But when the number of Dark Night Mosquitoes increases, the dense swarm can even attack Exotic Beasts of a higher rank than themselves.

They will insert their sharp mouthparts directly into the prey's body and suck the prey's fresh blood in large gulps.

Thousands upon thousands of Dark Night Mosquitoes can reduce a second-rank Gale Wolf to white bones in a very short time.

The extracted blood essence then flows into the body of the Dark Night Mosquito leader, prompting the leader to advance in rank.

The Dark Night Mosquito leader will emit a special hormone that can prompt the Dark Night Mosquitoes to accelerate their reproduction and speed up their advancement.

Ye Bai's mouth twitched the moment he saw these Dark Night Mosquitoes.

This is far more than a thousand Dark Night Mosquitoes; there could even be tens of thousands.

After Secretary Liang saw Ye Bai's helpless expression, she shrugged her shoulders: "Sorry, the number of Dark Night Mosquitoes is just this much, and we can only catch them group by group."

Her meaning was also very clear: we are only responsible for catching the Dark Night Mosquitoes, regardless of how many there are.

"By the way, in order to verify the aggressiveness of the Thunder Light dragonflies and Thunder Blast dragonflies, we caught a lot of Dark Night Mosquitoes."

"I discussed it with President Wang; this is also a good way to catch Dark Night Mosquitoes."

"Utilize the light-chasing characteristic of the Dark Night Mosquitoes, and then capture them in large quantities to reduce their population."

Ye Bai nodded: "That is indeed a good method, but it treats the symptoms and not the root cause; we must completely eradicate the Dark Night Mosquitoes from the source."

"Moreover, the quantity of this type of Beast Card is limited; it takes at least three days to produce one."

"Once Dark Night Mosquitoes have absorbed enough fresh blood, they will lay eggs in the water themselves."

"They lay two hundred to four hundred eggs at a time, and the incubation period is also very short."

"So, besides the Thunder Light water nymphs, we also need to find an aquatic Exotic Beast that likes to eat mosquito eggs."

Ye Bai looked up at this group of Dark Night Mosquitoes.

This "canopy" composed of Dark Night Mosquitoes flickered with a dim, gloomy light under the afterglow of the incandescent lamps and the Barrier.

They either circled, darted, or quietly clung to the ground, waiting for the arrival of the next prey.

The sharp mouthparts emitted a chilling light under the incandescent lamps; these Dark Night Mosquitoes were each the size of a fist, and many of their bellies were swollen, appearing as if they had already had quite a few victims.

A sense of Xueshaqi also permeated their bodies.

The blood-red Xueshaqi connected into one piece; this was a bonus from their species.

Amidst the Xueshaqi, the Dark Night Mosquitoes would fear no death and attack crazily.

An indescribable tension and unease filled the air; Ye Bai felt that at this moment, even his breathing became cautious, for fear of disturbing these uninvited guests and seeing them swarm over in a rush.

If the Dark Night Mosquitoes hadn't been trapped in the Barrier, Ye Bai might have turned tail and run.

"There must be a Dark Night Mosquito leader in there, otherwise these Dark Night Mosquitoes wouldn't be arranged like a phalanx."

Ye Bai said with a calm expression.

"I am ready to start the test now."

"Go, Thunder Light dragonfly."

Ye Bai sent a Beast Card into the Barrier, and the larger-sized Thunder Light dragonfly appeared.

Its body radiated a golden light, electric arcs were wandering around its wings, and its tail looked like a three-prong plug.

The electric current crackled at its tail.

All the Dark Night Mosquitoes that approached the Thunder Light dragonfly were electrocuted until their bodies were charred black, emitting white smoke and electric sparks as they fell to the ground, dead or alive unknown.

"Not bad, that last burst just now wiped out nearly a hundred Dark Night Mosquitoes, and that was without the Thunder Light dragonfly even using its skills."

Through the Insight Eye, Ye Bai clearly saw the number of Dark Night Mosquitoes wiped out; of course, ever since the shadow incident, Ye Bai had been wearing colored contact lenses whenever he went out.

A faint purple light radiated from the Thunder Light dragonfly's body, which, to the Dark Night Mosquitoes, was like seeing a prime piece of fatty meat.

The Dark Night Mosquitoes, possessing the light-chasing characteristic, rushed toward the Thunder Light dragonfly one after another, a pitch-black mass surging like a tide.

They couldn't wait to pounce on the Thunder Light dragonfly.

Thunder Light wrapped around the Thunder Light dragonfly; it flapped its wings and crashed into the 'canopy', and one could only hear a series of crackling sounds as the Dark Night Mosquitoes fell from the sky one after another like kites with broken strings.

They crashed headlong onto the ground, their bodies charred black from the electricity, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of Dark Night Mosquito carcasses.

Ye Bai observed one thing: as more and more Dark Night Mosquitoes fell, the blood-red Xueshaqi gathered on the remaining ones became thicker and thicker.

Wisps of Blood Mist drilled into the remaining Dark Night Mosquitoes, and one of them was even larger than a fist.

Its body was glowing red, red enough to drip blood; this must be the Dark Night Mosquito leader.

This was the first time Ye Bai had observed a Dark Night Mosquito leader at close range; usually, leaders hide within the Dark Night Mosquito population to avoid appearing directly.

Once a Dark Night Mosquito leader dies, the population within the group becomes a scattered mess, each fighting for itself, unless a new leader is chosen.

The Dark Night Mosquito leader let out a series of sharp, piercing shrieks, and many Dark Night Mosquitoes began to carry out suicidal attacks.

Ye Bai also felt that the light on the Thunder Light Dragonfly began to dim, and the electric arcs coiling around its body were not as obvious as before.

He knew that the current within the Thunder Light Dragonfly had been partially depleted, and the Dark Night Mosquito leader intended to keep sending out Dark Night Mosquitoes to drain the Thunder Light Dragonfly's current.

A Thunder Light Dragonfly without electricity was like a toothless tiger; the Dark Night Mosquito leader was treating the Thunder Light Dragonfly as its own prey.

It likely intended to wait until the Thunder Light Dragonfly was exhausted, then plunge its sharp mouthparts directly into the Thunder Light Dragonfly's head to devour its brain matter and crystal core.

This was the unique advancement method of the Dark Night Mosquito leader.

Not long after, nearly two-thirds of the Dark Night Mosquitoes in the Barrier were gone, and the remaining ones were all covered in blood-red baleful aura; they looked like they were not to be trifled with.

The Thunder Light Dragonfly's body swayed precariously in mid-air, looking as if it were about to collapse.

A flash of sharp light crossed the eyes of the Dark Night Mosquito leader; the moment for the kill was fast approaching.

"Go, Thunder Light Dragonfly."

Ye Bai released another Thunder Light Dragonfly; this one was female, and its tail had a socket.

Two Thunder Light Dragonflies converged in mid-air, their tails connecting, and the male Thunder Light Dragonfly, whose current had been overly depleted, saw golden-yellow electricity reappear on its body.

It regained its combat strength, and when their tails separated, the electric arcs on the female Thunder Light Dragonfly became extremely faint.

The current on its body had all been transferred to the male Thunder Light Dragonfly.

However, this Thunder Light Dragonfly immediately flew to the ground, opened its mouth, used its Strong, powerful hands to grab a handful of Dark Night Mosquito carcasses, and tossed them into its mouth.

As it continuously devoured the Dark Night Mosquito carcasses, the electric arcs on its body returned to their original intensity.

"Well done; as expected, when men and women work together, the work is effortless."

"The fact that the female Thunder Light Dragonfly can replenish the current for the male is a major discovery."

"Could it be that the male Thunder Light Dragonfly can also replenish the current for the female?"

The high-definition video recorder captured the entire process; there are not many researchers in the country studying Thunder Light Dragonflies, and perhaps Ye Bai could achieve significant success with them.

The mere ability to eliminate Dark Night Mosquitoes could bring Ye Bai great prestige.

As its subordinates became fewer and fewer, the Dark Night Mosquito leader began to panic, but it could do nothing against these two Thunder Light Dragonflies.

The Dark Night Mosquito leader was not skilled at fighting alone; having lost its subordinates, it was a weakling, and a single burst of current could kill it.

"This Dark Night Mosquito leader is also excellent research material; it cannot be finished off by the Thunder Light Dragonfly so easily."

Ye Bai was thinking of a way to capture the Dark Night Mosquito leader separately.

Only a few dozen Dark Night Mosquitoes remained; in the eyes of the Thunder Light Dragonflies, these were like fine food.

The Thunder Light Dragonflies would, like a cat playing with a mouse, tease the Dark Night Mosquitoes from time to time and use high-altitude dives to scatter the Dark Night Mosquitoes' formation.

With every attack, a Dark Night Mosquito would be captured; the Thunder Light Dragonfly would unceremoniously bite off the Dark Night Mosquito's head and devour it one by one, leaving only its mouthparts and long legs behind.

"It is time, Sun Flower Emperor, use Charming Fragrance."

Ye Bai said to the Clone of the Sun Flower Emperor; this Clone was specifically protecting Ye Bai from the attacks of the Dark Night Mosquitoes.

It could emit a scent that the Dark Night Mosquitoes found extremely repulsive, causing them to avoid it.

The Clone of the Sun Flower Emperor dove directly into the Barrier.

Once this Barrier is activated, the Pet Beasts inside cannot come out; only Pet Beasts from the outside can enter.

After the Clone entered, it immediately emitted a Charming Fragrance of flowers.

Upon smelling the rich floral scent, the Dark Night Mosquitoes and the Thunder Light Dragonflies all rolled their eyes back and fell from the high sky in a daze, entering a sweet dream.

At this moment, the Clone of the Sun Flower Emperor picked up the Beast Card that had fallen to the ground and sealed the Thunder Light Dragonflies inside.

Afterward, the Clone trotted over to pick up the Beast Card that had released the Dark Night Mosquitoes and collected the unconscious Dark Night Mosquito leader and its group of guards inside.

"Well done."

Ye Bai took the Beast Card from the Clone's hand.

The two beautiful Thunder Light Dragonflies were sealed in the Beast Card; their bodies were wrapped in numerous chains. This was a Capture Beast Card specifically used to seal Exotic Beasts, preventing them from suddenly going berserk.

The Beast Cards generally used by Dahui and the Sun Flower Emperor were Storage Beast Cards, used to store some Pet Beasts that were large in size or friendly to humans.

The ferocious Dark Night Mosquito leader flew in the air, surrounded by its guards, with blood-red baleful aura entwined in the chains.

The Dark Night Mosquito leader possessed a slender body, a pair of slender antennae, and a pair of transparent wings used for flight.

When it evolves into a Two-Winged Black Stripe, its wings will gain an extra black stripe.

Its mouthparts consist of six needle-like structures, specifically adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood.

These include two serrated Cutters used to slice through skin, two blood-sucking needles used to draw blood, and two saliva ducts used to inject anticoagulant saliva.

"Phew, thank you for your hard work, Ye Bai. Judging from the test results, the Dark Night Mosquitoes were almost completely wiped out."

"A single Thunder Light Dragonfly could eliminate nearly two-thirds of the Dark Night Mosquitoes, and there were nearly tens of thousands of them here."

"And two Thunder Light Dragonflies could eliminate all the remaining Dark Night Mosquitoes; if it weren't for your Sun Flower stopping the Thunder Light Dragonflies from continuing their slaughter, the Dark Night Mosquitoes might have been completely exterminated by them."

Secretary Liang was satisfied with the experimental results.

But Ye Bai shook his head: "These experimental results are not representative."

"These Dark Night Mosquitoes were confined in the Barrier; they had nowhere to hide, which is why they were so easily eliminated by the Thunder Light Dragonflies."

"If this were in an open area, the effectiveness of this method would be greatly reduced."

"However, we can also utilize the light-chasing characteristics of the Dark Night Mosquitoes and have the Thunder Light Dragonflies cooperate to eliminate them."

Ye Bai signaled for Secretary Liang to continue releasing Dark Night Mosquitoes; he wanted to test them one by one so that he could find the most suitable ratio.

A successful experimental subject must be tested for reproductive ability, current intensity, and so on, to pick out the most suitable individual.

Ye Bai had already tested the remaining two types of Thunder Light Dragonflies; compared to the first group of test subjects, they were relatively inferior.

However, their flight speed was relatively faster than the first group.

Among the Dark Night Mosquitoes used for testing, there were also Dark Night Mosquito leaders, which Ye Bai likewise collected.

"Next, let's test the Thunder Explosion Dragonflies."

Seeking votes.
