Chapter 74 Blood Jade Mystic Bone! Breakthrough! [New Book, Please Vote!]
Meng De had long harbored the idea of cultivating mosquito kings through cannibalism. However, it seemed that the Core Formation elder of Blood Lion Peak had revealed this genetic trait ahead of time.
Otherwise, according to Mengde's own idea, he would start by selecting and breeding aggressive larvae, and eventually select the source blood mosquitoes that would kill each other in the larval stage.
"Is it because of the influence of the Blood Demon Golden Lion's bloodline power...?"
Upon returning to Blackwater Manor, Mengde began cultivating Bloodscale Mosquitoes. In his newly built molting pool, the pale blood-colored larvae had already begun hunting each other in the water. These blood-colored larvae were generally larger than all the original blood mosquito larvae in Mengde's possession, and at the same time, they had grown sharp mouthparts that would pierce the bodies of other larvae, directly sucking the blood and flesh nutrients from their bodies.
After half a month of breeding and selection, Meng De watched as his Bloodscale Mosquito, whose adult form was only the size of a thumb but whose body was covered with fine blood scales, hunted down the Source Blood Mosquitoes in Blackwater Manor. A strange light flashed deep in his black eyes.
The individual strength of the Bloodscale Mosquito far exceeds that of other Bloodscale Mosquitoes of the same level. Its blood scales can resist attacks from other Bloodscale Mosquitoes, and it also has the ability to continuously strengthen itself by consuming other Bloodscale swarms.
The only downside is that blood scale mosquitoes have a weak reproductive capacity, and the larvae tend to devour each other, so less than a hundred eggs from a single blood scale mosquito may survive.
This was the result of Mengde adding other types of blood mosquito larvae to the emergence pool. If left unchecked, the breeding rate of blood scale mosquitoes might drop below ten, making it impossible to cultivate a sufficient swarm.
And...what surprised Mengde even more was that the breeding process of the Bloodscale Mosquito was a hunt where everything was at stake. The losers became genetic nourishment, while the victors gained everything.
Mature Bloodscale Mosquitoes are hermaphroditic and hunt their own kind. After successfully hunting their own kind, the surviving Bloodscale Mosquitoes will become fully grown, and a new pair of wings will grow on their backs, turning them into six-winged Blood Mosquitoes.
The six-winged blood mosquito, which completes its evolution by hunting its own kind to complete its gene chain, is not as strong as the nine-necked bee of the same level, but it can easily hunt other source blood mosquitoes. When the swarm is dense enough, it can easily kill tens of thousands of source blood mosquitoes of the same level in a day.
Mengde was also somewhat puzzled by the lifespan of the Six-Winged Blood Mosquito. These Source Blood Demon Insects, cultivated using the spiritual blood of the Blood Demon Golden Lion King, did not begin reproducing upon reaching maturity. Instead, they would replenish their genetic evolutionary energy through a period of hunting, before merging with their own kind to advance to the Six-Winged Blood Mosquito form. Then, the Six-Winged Blood Mosquito would begin a large-scale slaughter to accumulate energy until it felt it had reached its genetic limit. Only then would it reproduce, passing on its life's accumulation before facing death.
Because of this characteristic, Meng De had no doubt that the elder of the Blood Lion Peak's Spirit Beast Mountain might not have many six-winged blood mosquitoes in his own possession, and might even have fewer than Meng De, who was able to directly feed them first-level source blood.
"Elder Blood Lion's evolution path should be different from mine. He probably didn't take the path of feeding Bloodscale Mosquitoes with Source Blood Demon Insects." Meng De murmured to himself as he looked at the dozen or so six-winged Blood Mosquitoes that were relentlessly chasing and killing the Source Blood Insect swarm in the sky.
In the following years, Mengde decided to focus on breeding the six-winged blood mosquitoes to develop their hunting instincts against the source blood demon insects.
If the Blood Mosquitoes are classified by attribute, then the Six-Winged Blood Mosquito might be the true...blood attribute demonic insect.
If Mengde hadn't learned the Source Blood Demon Flame, the Six-Winged Blood Mosquito might have been Mengde's white glove for harvesting Source Blood Insect swarms in the future.
Regarding the potential of the six-winged blood mosquito, Mengde referred to it as the "Blood Tyrant" in the "Illustrated Record of Blood Source".
The six-winged blood mosquito, possessing the ability to actively evolve, is the most brutal source blood monarch among all the source blood species recognized by Mengde.
As for who Mengde is?
He is the beginning and the end of the source bloodline, the most cruel and cold creator of the source bloodline species.
......
Boom!
When Meng De inside the cave felt a terrifying heartbeat within his body, and his blood and qi surged wildly, forming an impenetrable blood-red aura around him, he realized that the viscous blood containing terrifying energy within him had officially opened the spiritual energy cycle, operating in the form of a pure and highly concentrated blood spiritual power. His white bones began to be nourished by the blood spiritual power, and faint, dimly glowing blood-red patterns began to spread. At that moment, Meng De understood that he had broken through without consuming the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Mysterious Bone Realm!
Without consuming the Foundation Establishment Pill, Meng De naturally couldn't break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in a short time. However, in the path of blood cultivation, after destroying countless mountains, he successfully cultivated the Blood Spirit Demon Body to the second level!
"Mysterious Bone Realm..." Meng De, inside the dim cave, slowly calmed his thunderous heartbeat, opened his eyes to look at his arm, and saw the faint blood-red aura flowing on his body. Then he took out a piece of spoils he had obtained over the years when he went out to seize mountains, a low-grade magic weapon longsword.
Boom!
The next instant, the fist wrapped in blood-red protective armor slammed directly into the blade of the low-grade magic weapon. With a loud thud, the low-grade magic weapon shattered instantly, while Meng De's fist only had a shallow white mark left by the blade, which was instantly restored to its original state!
"A second-tier Blood Spirit Demon Body is difficult to penetrate with ordinary low-tier magic weapons. However, even if injured... it can be instantly restored by consuming Blood Spirit Power." Meng De sensed his current physical strength. With the Blood-Red Armor continuously activated, ordinary low-tier magic weapons were difficult to harm him. Of course, even without activating this ability that continuously consumes Blood Spirit Power, a mortal iron sword would be difficult to penetrate his defenses.
In fact, defense isn't the Blood Spirit Demon Body's forte; its strength lies in recovery. In game terms, Meng De has a very long health bar; his health can be converted into mana for use, and also used to heal his injuries.
As a consequence, for blood spirit cultivators like Mengde, whose blood spirit power is a mixture of blood essence and magical power, the more blood spirit power they use, the worse their condition becomes. If they cannot replenish their blood spirit power in time, they will suffer severe damage to their vital energy.
The bloodthirsty old monster who left behind the "Mad Demon Bloodthirsty Technique" was a blood cultivator who had reached the peak of the Core Formation Realm. The word "bloodthirsty" in the inheritance refers to the method of quickly restoring blood spiritual power and cultivating rapidly—devouring and refining the essence and blood of other creatures.
However, Meng De possesses an advantage that even the Bloodthirsty Old Monster could hardly imagine when it comes to quickly restoring his Blood Spirit Power. As long as the Blood Source Insect swarm is large enough, Meng De can rely on the power of the Blood Source Demon Flame to reach the extraordinary state of 'infinite Blood Spirit Power' in a short period of time.
